The Important Comma.

A Philadelphia business man thinks
he has an exceedingly bright office boy,
and nothing pleases him better than to
tell how he acquired the youngsters
services. A short time ago he posted
in his shop window notice which
read as follows: boy wanted about IA
years" A lad of that age, with little
that was prepossessing in his appear
ance, came into the office and stated
that he had read the notice.

over the rims Of his spectacles at the
unabashed youth.

stock of these dainty dress accessories
These lace ruffles, by the way, are most
satisfactory when they are made up on
special little bands of their own into
which they can be gathered or folded,
so that they are complete in them
selves. The band can then be tackled
quite lightly into the sleeves and the
whole thing can be easily removed to
be washed or cleaned. Girls who may
chance to have nice little pieces of real
lace given to them, from time to time,
as some lucky girls do, should make a
point of collecting and saving them
carefully, with view to the manu-
facture of these dainty ruffles in the
immediate future.
But to return once more to our
sketch, whence have wandered to give
this little disquisition on the subject of
ruffles, the style of the graceful walk
ing skirt is we'll worth noticing care
fully. The wide fiat pleats, which are
outlined with tailor r-stitching, run
downwards from the waist, and give
the effect of an overskirt, bordered
along the edges by lines of stitching
and groups of dull gold buttons. These
pleats come only at the sides and back,
leaving plain panel down the center
of the front, and the skirt is finished
near the hem with double box-pleats
to form flounce. At the waist there
is wide rucking belt of white soft
kid. drawn through large buckle of
dull gold
In the matter of hats, mademoiselle
will have a wide choice this summer
and she must indeed be very difficult to
suit if she is not able to find something
that will be specially becoming to her
The hats with turn-down mushroom
brims are not to be despised by any
means for country wear, since they
give a good shade to the eyes, while tc
the average girl they are quite sur
prisingly becoming. For morning weal
they are pretty trimmed either with 6
very wide frayed-out ruche of glact
silk or else with choux of soft satir
ribbon. arranged round the crown II
graduated sizes. For morning wear
also, the straw hats. trimmed only will
straw, are very appropriate. Sometime!
the straw is arranged in the form o
loops and bows, rosettes, or buckles
In other cases the straw is worked III
into the close semblance of punches o
small flowers, tiny roses and rose-buds
for example, tinted in various color
to match the straw hats upon whicl
they will be used for trimmings.

WAR SPECIALS
Summary of Battles and Slirmishes in the
Russo-Japanese Struggle.

The Japanese turned the left flank
of the Russian position, and in the
battle Sunday they swept away the
new front interposed by the Russians
to check their onward movement.
st. Petersburg, May 2.-The gen
eral staff account of the operations on
the Yalu river Sunday is as follows:
At o'clock Sunday morning Japa-
nese field batteries with AZ guns
opened a terrific fire on our position
at Turenchen and on our troops post
ed near Potietinsky. The overwhelm-
ing superiority of the Japanese in ar
tillery and the heavy losses their fire
inflicted on our troops occupying
these positions made it clear to Gen.
Sassulitch that il was impossible to
hold Turenchen. Consequently the
troops were ordered to retire from
Turenchen, while still holding the
Potietinsky road.

MOUNTAIN is NOW A LAKE.

Supposed Earthquake in New En-
gland Thought to Have Been Fall
of Volcanic Cone.
A muddy lake marks the spot in
Maine where a big hill known as
Bald mountain had stood out in bold
relief for centuries and is taken as
proof that the recent New England
earthquake had it's origin in north
ern Maine. A guide reports the
transformation complete. Bald
mountain was situated in Tibique
valley, few miles from the New
Brunswick line. Natives who live
near say they always thought the
hill queer, because at the base were
boiling springs so warm that one
could not put his hand in them even
in winter. Near by is hill called
Plaster rock, which furnishes plas-
ter. This was recently analyzed and
found to consist of merely melted
rock and earth, and all this leads to
the belief now that Bald mountain
was the cone of a volcano.

l@WlNS the modern girl, now that
mi really pretty materials are
obtainable so cheaply, and
now also that fashion seems to look so
kindly upon the many charming modes
which are eminently suitable from the
very fact of their simplicity, to the
special requirements of mademoiselle.
Just now, when the summer season is
almost upon us with its wealth of light
and dainty materials FOR charming and
inexpensive gowns, seems an appropri-
ate time to say something to the girls
along that line
To the girl who is going away for
the summer to the seashore or lake
or mountain resort, or the girl who is
to spend the months at home, some
thing quite new and very pretty in
the way of a dainty dressing jacket
should prove specially interesting. 1t
is just such jacket as this which our
artist has illustrated in one of the ac-
companying sketches, and although the
design is an exceptionally pretty one,
the jacket might nevertheless be very
successfully attempted by a clever
home dressmaker, such as many of the
girls of the present day have proved
themselves to be.
The material suggested for the dress
ing jacket in question is one of the new
patterns in Viyella, with little punches
of flowers in pale shades of pink and
green. scattered over an ivory-white
background. The Jacket is prettily
gathered on cords all the way round

IDLE MAcHINISTS.
Refusal to Unionize Shops Results In
a Strike and Lockout on Santa Fe
Railway.

a Strike and Lockout on Santa Fe
Railway.
Topeka, Kan, May 3.-When the
1000 Santa Fe machinists and work
men gathered at the big railway shops
in this city Monday to go to work they
found the gates locked. The entire
plot of ground of % acres is sur
rounded with high board fence with
few gates. These gates were locked
and the men without were told by
armed guards that there was nothing
doing"
At the general offices of the railway
here, it was stated that the order to
close down was given to every shop
town on the Santa Fe system from
Chicago to Albuquerque, N. M. 1t is
estimated that nearly 10000 men are
affected.
On March 2S the International AS
sociation of Machinists submitted a
list of 20 rules which they desired the
Santa Fe to contract to observe in
the management of it's machine shops.
The officials asserted that this would
be a recognition of the union and
would practically unionize the shops
and take them from under the con-
troll of the company. 1t rejected the
| demand for contract.
The Santa Fe has sent 400 non
union machinists to the coast and say
they have filled all vacancies and
have no further need of men on that
part of the system.
Washington, May 3.-Over 500 ma
chinists and large number of allied
workers on the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railroad were reported out
on strike up to 5 o'clock Monday af
ternoon. When the whole striking
strength is brought out, embracing
not only the machinists but the Allied
Metal Mechanics association, boiler
makers, blacksmiths, copper workers
helpers, etc., as well, the total numbel
involved, according to Presiden
O'Connell, of the Machinists' union
may approximate between 10000 ant
10000 men.
