SHAKY KNOWLEDGE OF GEOG.

English ignorance of American geog- raphy is an unfailing source of amuse- ment, and it must be said that as the English grow more and more to admire us there is less excuse for it. Under a design of President Roosevelt in hunting garb an illustrated English weekly has recently placed an explan- ation of the presidents plans for the trip and added this information: His secretary alone will know of his where abouts. and that official lives on a pri- .vate railway train sidetracked some where near Colorado Somewhere near Colorado is good.-Springfield (Mass.l Republican.

ELECTION is
CALLED OFF
The Attorney General Again De-
clares Order For Election
Is Not Regular.

The Attorney General of the
State has again stumped the the
city council and its legal advisers.
He has declared the new order for
election to issue bonds for new
school building and for improve
ment of school buildings, is not
regular. and in letter attempts
to point out the defects of the or
der. The Herald is not advised
rs to all the technical points cited,
but one is that the call should be
for two separate propositions, and
should not be stated together, and
should therefore order an election
for the building of a new school
house, and an election for the
improving of school houses. The
city has held one election, which
vas declared void on TECHNICAL
ties, and one order made before
the last was declared illegal.
Now the question is, how shall
this call be made to meet the re-
quirements of the legal head of
the State?
The matter will likely lay over
until the next regular meeting of
the city council early next month.

This is the motto of young woman
who believes that the masculine 'in1-
pressionist' known as the masher is a
totally unnecessary nuisance. What she
means to imply is that the modern
young woman. even while she protests
against being ogled, usually considers it
a tribute to her beauty, instead OF
counting it merely as curiosity excited
by something wrong or eccentric in her
appearance

a vivacious expression. and otherwise

to ,ioubly impress the f1atterer.

PINS AND RINGS.
Splendid Jewels Now Adorn the Smart

Women of fashion now adern their
hats with splendid jewels. namely,
brooches. enriched with pearls, dia-

long back clasps, destined TO fix the
hat on the head. are very effective in
design The newest effects are Of
chased matt gold. adorned with rich
motifs representing birds or exquisite
floral decorations. Some of them are
simply decorated with a large turquoise
or emerald framed with briIiiants.
In the way of necklaces many new
and tasty patterns are to be seen. Those
composed of several rows of pearls are
still to the fore The rows of pearls are
gathered together with superb designs
representing fine floral decorations in
brilliants. In this taking line Is noticed
an original and beautiful necklace con-
S1Sting of two snakes of chased matt

heads are facing each other and seem to
