THE CALICO BALL.
Kings Daughters Scored Social Success
in This Event.

: One of the most swell affairs Of
the season was the fancy dress
calico ball, given by the Kings
Daughters at the opera house last
evening. The night was ideal for
dancing, the music all that could
be desired, and the crowd, though
not large, was in the best of humor.
and everything passed delightfully."-.
The costumes we're varied, some
conforming to the ideas indicated

while great many wore the reg
ulation costume. The sailor boy,
the japanese, the Spanish lady, and
peasant attires added charm to the
fscers besides few other costat,,es.
which differed materially from the
dress usually worn on such occa-
sions. The music was furnished by
Anzaldua S famous band, and the
happy couples inspired by its sweet
strains kept time with rythmic
tread, nor thought of firing. Re-
freshments were on sale through
out the entire evening and this,
with about one hundred admissions
realized quite neat sum for the
Kings Daughters. To this g oo;e+r
the young people are i...debted for
a very pleasant Evening, and the
fancy dress calico cali, will long be
remembered as one of the most
happy events in the city's social
history. THE HERALD reporter
was unavoidab1y absent, but the
enthusiastic expressions from a
number who participated give am
pie proof of the popularity Nof the
ball last night.

you can, the absolute Sconsterna-
ton of the blushing maid, when
she arrived at the depot, to find
the train gone. Frantic efforts were
made to get a handcar or other
means of travel, but without avail,
and ar last the maiden was told a
fright train would come up and
return today, and this information
served to somewhat pacify the
bride-to-be. It is safe to say if
the fright train goes down she will
not be late again.

CUSTOMS OF KOREA

Night Time.

The Koreans are distinctly a hand
some race. They are not in the least
like either of their neighbors, the Chi
nese or the Japanese. Although they
nave the oblique eyes of the Monaghan.
their noses are, as a rule, straight or
slightly acquiline, their foreheads high
and their oval faces clear-cut and in

crowd look to me always as If their
heads had been cast in bullet moulds.
while 1t is quite otherwise with the
Koreans.
One great popularity of the streets
or Seoul is that during the daytime
practically no women are to be seen
about One occasionally sees an odd
woman Of the lower class, dressed very
much as the men, but wearing her
cloak over her head, holding 1t with
her hands so as to conceal the lower
part of her face. About o'clock in the
evening the great bell Of Seoul tolls,
which Is the signal for men to retire off
the streets and gives permission to the
women to emerge from their secIusion.
This extraordinary regulation is strict
ly enforced, except as regards blind
men, foreigners and persons going with
prescriptions for the sick. Korean men
are frequently found going about with
sticks, pretending to be blind; but such
Is the rigid seclusion that the majority
of the ladies of Seoul have never seen
the streets Of their city by daylight.
From s o'clock until IL the streets are
alive with women, most of them at

During this time they go visiting their
friends. AT IL o'clock the great bell
tolls again, from which time they have
to be indoors, and men are again at
liberty to go out If they like.

Philosopher Says That's Whore Base
ball Players Arc Made.
Some boys were playing ball yester.
day afternoon in Cortlandt street near
Broadway, regardless of the fact that
hundreds of people were hurrying
along that street on their way to the
ferry. Some of the passersby who had
to dodge the ball wanted to know what
the police were paid for, anyway; but
one philosophical person remarked
that crowded city street was the
best place in the world to train crack
baseball players.
"Any boy" said the philosopher
"who can catch a ball or throw one
we'll here can do it anywhere. But one
advantage of the street over a vacant
lot as training ground is that II
makes a boy alert. Now, just watch
that kid who is about to throw the
ball. He's on the watch every secon6
for the cop on this beat. A boy who
learns how to play ball and keep from
being arrested at the same time will
never let a base-runner steal second or
him in a real game on the diamond

WHY WOMEN GET LESS.

Marshall Fields Buyer Says Their
Work IL Inferior to That Of Men.
"Why are women paid less wages
than men,"
This question was asked of John ]
Johnson, for many years a buyer for
Marshall Field, the great Chicago mil
lionaire retail merchant.
"That is easy to answer They are
paid less because their work is inferior
to mems. Women as class are not
competent workers-not even in those
things in which they have always been
occupied, such as cooking and sew
ing.
''But the clamor of women advocates
Is always for equal wages between the
sexes. This is q cry which Is not based

Mr.. ATbee's Opinion.

Alpine, CAL, June 6.-Mr. T. NJ. AL
bee, our postmaster, has expressed an
opinion based on his own experience
which will no doubt be of interest to
many. Mr.. Albee is a man of few
words, but his well-known truthfulness
and uprightness of character adds
much weight to any statement he
makes. He says:
''The first box of Dodds Kidney Pills
that I used convinced me of their
good qualities and used altogether
four boxes with the very best results.
I can heartily recommend this rem.
edy."
This voluntary expression of opin
ion will doubtless nd an echo in
many homes in California. for Dodd' s
Kidney Pills have been making some
miraculous cures in this state.
From the evidence already pub
lished it seems safe to conclude that
this medicine will be found to be a
perfect cure for rheumatism. urinary
trouble, backache and any and every
torn or symptom of kidney complaint.

MARKS ON MEXICAN MONEY.
Chinese Bankers Put On Their Seals
to Guarantee It's Cenrinenees

Chinese Bankers Put On Their Seals
to Guarantee Its Genuineness.
AS everybody knows, Mexican dol
lars circulate in large quantities in
the Far East, especially in China and
the Philippines, where bankers send
large quantities of Mexican silver dol
lars every year.
A year ago reporter saw one OF
the Mexican pesos that had been in
circulation in China for some time,
and was surprised to find it covered
with small Chinese characters. like as
many seals. This dollar was shown
to LANG Hsun, Chinese minister, who
explained the presence of the marks
as follows:
The bankers, Of whom there are
hundreds in China, who receive Next
can dollars, afix to them their seals
to guarantee their legitimacy, and as
pesos circulate and go from one bank
to another they are being marked by
all the banks who receive them. In
case the peso proves to be illegal, the
banker who sealed it last has to
change it for good money and with.
draw it from circulation.
When the pesos are completely
covered with seals they are sent back
to Mexico to be recoined, the expense
being paid by all the bankers whose
seals are seen on the coin. It Is in
accordance with a recent agreement.
But it often happens that dollars, al
though marked all over their two
faces, continue in circulation and are
highly esteemed. as the seals are so
many guarantees that they are genu-
inc. The decision to seal pesos was
taken because illegal coins began to
circulate in China.-Mexican Herald.

WORMS ON THEIR TRAVELS.
Met With in Millions in Forests o
HUNGARY and NORWAY.

Met With in Millions in Forests Of
Hungary and Norway.
The Sciara, of the genus Tipulx, a
tiny wormlike creature which is
found in the forests of Norway and
Hungary during the month of July or
early in August, gather in huge num-
bers preparatory to migrating in
search of food or for change of con.
ditions. When setting out on this
journey they stick themselves togeth-
er by means of some glutinous mat.
ter, and form huge serpentlike mass,
often reaching a length of between
forty and fifty feet and several inches
in thickness. AS the sciara is only
on an average of about three thirty.
seconds of an inch in length, with no
appreciate breadth whatever, the
number required to form a continuous
line Of the size above mentioned is in.
calculable.
Their pace u.s. of course, very slow.
and upon meeting an obstacle, such as
a stick or stone, they either writhe
over or around it, sometimes break
ing into two bodies for the purpose. A
celebrated French naturalist says that
it the rear portion of this snakelike
procession be brought into contact
with the front part the insects will
keep moving round in that circle for
hours, never seeming to realize that
they are getting no further on their
journey. If the portions be broken in
two the procession will unite in "a
short time. When the peasant meets
one of these professions he will lay
some obstacle in front of it. If it
passes over it it is a good omen.
