Drinks for InvaIids.

From Harpers Bazaar.
 A delightful drink Is made by pour ing grapefruit juice and a little of the pulp over pounded ice, and serving il in glass cup. It takes the place of a frozen ice and is more quickly pre-. pared. The beaten white of an egg may be added, and orange aavoring instead of the grapefruit. Grape juice, if home made or of an assured purity, may be used in the same way, and is particu- larly pretty and attractive, as well as appetizing, because of the color as it blends with the crushed ice. The clear or somewhat diluted grape juice may be served as beverage, and clear strained juice of grapefruit Is al ways extremely refreshing and quite safe to give in cases of fever when the mouth and throat are parched and dry. All such drinks must be prepared at the moment when they are to De used, as the necessity for having them cold and the crushed ice crisp and dry is marked.

ALABAMA WON FROM
 JIU JITSU ARTIST
PHELAN eEALE THREW A. kIo- zUMl TWICE IN SUCCESSION AT HENDERsoNvlLLE AND EASILY WON THE BOUT.

Philan Beale. the young athlete who de- feated A. Koizumi. Japanese jiu 1itsu wrestler, in q wrestling match at Hender- sonville. N. C., the evening of August 29, is a native of Alabama and a member by birth and marriage of one of the distin- guished families in the state.
 Young Beale, who was recently gradu- ated from the law school of Columbia university, where he took high rank both as a student and an athlete, Is a son of Jesse Beale of Montgomery, a nephew of Ellis Pheland. former candidate for the probate Judgeship of Jefferson coun- ty and a brother-in-law of John Me- Queen, solicitor for the Tenth district.
 MT. Beale Is passing the summer at Hendersonville where his father has tunity of wrestling with the Japanese and defeated the latter easily.
 The Asheville Citizen prints this ac- count of the match
 Exactly at g o'clock Beale and Kaizumi appeared on the mat They shook hands and three seconds later the Japanese lay on the mat with both shoulders press CT thereto by the Hendersonyille boy. The fall was secured by a rear hammer lock with a chin press on the left breast. Beale strained hard and in the twinkling of an eye the Jap went down. The Japs claim ed that both of Koizumiis shoulders were Westfeldt of West Point aeadamy de- clared that the fall was fair and awarded 1t to Beale.
 The theatre shook with the cheers of the delighted friends of Beale. After an intermssion of ten minutes the wrestlers again appeared on the mat and this time they were stripped to the waist. At the outset it was seen that both men meant business. The Jap made a rush, Beale evaded it and securing a bridge on the Jap rolled him over. Koizumi turned like lightning and secured a cross hold on Beale. The latter slipped out and secured half Nelson on Koizumi. Half sec- ond later Beale had converted his hold Into a full Nelson and the Japs shoulders were slowly pressed to the mat. It was at this point that Beale accidentally pushed his finger into Koizumis eye, the latter sustaining painful but not serious injury The referee declared Bea1e the winner of the second bout and therefore Of the match, and the contest between Japanese and American science was over, the latter being triumphant
 It was a wrestling match from start to finish. The men had scarcely touch- ed hands in the opening bout when Koi- zumi reached for Beale with his right. Beale evaded the Jap and with a half step forward he had secured full ham, mer lock- with his chin embedded in the | Jap's left breast. In less time than 1t | takes to say 1t the Jap was on his back with the arms of his opponent firmly | locked around him.

CoIleqe Outfits,

From Harper's Bazaar
 As for underclothing, it should be new and of the best quality, but plain. A grill with all the novelty of college life upon her will have little time to mend, and her underclothing should be new, and strong enough to resist severe laundry treatment. It should be plain, as in most college laundries an extra charge is made for elaborate pieces. 'I never shall forget" said one girl recently, my experience with some ruffled white skirts They were so much more simple than anything had ever worn before, that was filled with indignation when they were sub jected to an extra charge at the laun- dry. I went down and remonstrated and finally refused to pay. A day or two afterwards I was sent for to go to the presidents office. Imagine my feelings when, on entering. I found that severe and reverend gentleman engaged in contemplating my unlucky petticoati Needless to add I agreed at once that they were elaborate, and sent home for some others"

THE SUMMER AFTERMATH.

My Dear Dorothy--As chaperone for a modern girl, that is the gial who dresses well and knows how to attract the right sort of men and ignore the men whose attentions are compromising, I consider that am a success.
 I have had the responsibility of deeid- ing on a husband for my niece, Caroline, and the whole thing has been settled to my entire satisfaction Through weeks of the most brilliant life. during which she was accorded all the distinctions of belle ship. she has also been considering the momentous question.
 Caroline as you know, Is entirely con- ventional as far as the proprieties and things go in general, but in matters Of the heart, have never been quite sure of her, or rather have been sure that she would not consider marriage from any viewpoint but that of love. Such girl Is apt to dlsappoint her family in the selec- ton of husband, and I have some- times felt the responsibility too great knowing of some elegible men to whom Caroline has appeared too indifferent.
 I say that I have decided upon the husband What I should nave said was that Caroline decided this matter without asking for my opinion. While the maids were packing our trunks, Caroline came in perfectly radiant, put her arms around my neck and blushed like any school girl. knew then that she had fully made up her mind and that the summer had not been failure.
 This man whom she is to marry in Mo- vember Is a fine fellow, a Harvard man, and while not as wealthy as l would like Carolines husband to be, he has pros- poets that cannot be ignored, and IS certain to fall heir to quite large for tune at the death of his uncle, now an old man. The young nephew, however, has started in life as If he did not ex- pect a cent from any one. and instead of waiting for his uncle to die like some men would do, he has let few idle days pass since he left Harvard, and Is alto gether different from the average college man you meet these days with "expec- tations."
 The wedding plans are already settled upon, and I am in a new role, as the prospective aunt-in-law of the most eli- gible man have seen this summer. l am, therefore. impatient to return, as while the role of chaperone to a young and beautiful girl Is more or less trying, find my present position exacts condi- tions even more difficult. Still I try to console myself with the knowledge that Caroline's season, which has naturally been an expensive one, has been produc- tive of so eligible a husband, and I am worldly enough, having lived sufficiently long to have decided opinions about hus- bands to realize that she has not made a bad selection from the consignment pro- vided by the management of this hotel. Faithfully yours, M M.

GETS BUSY CLEARING HIMSELF Shows How Money Was Not
 Misaprropriated INDICTMENT IS UNJUST Mllwaukeean Claims He Was Simply Custodian of Fund Which Was
 at the Disposal of John
 l. crulley.
INDICTMENT IS UNJUST

Milwaukee, September 1.-Charles F. Pnster, the capitalist who was indicted three weeks ago by the grand jury on ths charge of having stolen $14OOo. which had been placed in his hands by the Wiscon- sin Rendering company, will make public tomorrow morning a statement showing the manner in which the s25,30o which he held for the company was disbursed.
 After the indictment was returned the president of the rendering company de- nied that MT. Pfster had misappropriated any of It's money and since then the com pany has made full payment of notes held against 1t by MT. Pfister. without offering any counter claim. The insinuaton, how ever has been circulated that the money if not misappropriated, was used for cor rupt purposes by MT. Phster. The state- ment now issued Is corroborated by the bank record showing MT Pfister's per- sonal account, by a statement signed by President F. c. Gross, Joseph Scharff and Louis Schoyer, of the Wisconsin Render ing company; and also by a statement signed by John J. Crilley, the contractor to whom most of the money was paid.
 Crilley in acknowledging the payments to him explains that at the time the city contract was awarded to his firm he found himself unable to enter into the contract on account of lack of funds. He then entered into an agreement with .he Wisconsin Rendering company which had an established plant at Mequon. that If that company would put up s25oOo with some responsible man out of which was fO he maid the CfrilIaV mt to in connection with the contract, the work would be turned over to the render ing company MT. Pfister was selected as the custodian of this fund. He had m irr terest with any of the bidders, and paid out the money In accordance with the or ders of the parties interested, and had nothing to do with 1t further. None of this money, Crllley states was used for un- lawful purposes.
 These payments show conclusively that MT. Pflster did not steal any of the rendering company's money, and also that he did not use any of it In an improper manner. A supplemental statement by MT. Pfsters attorney discloses the fact that when the grand jury had the indlct- ment under consideration two of its mem- bers, together with District Attorney F. D. McGovern, visited the First National bank and there received MT. Phster's per- mission to examine his account. They found the entry showing the deposit of $25 900 on July 19 1897 but apparently dis regarded entries on the same page show ing the payment of $6O00 and 5000 respec- lively, to Crilley, nor did. they call upon MT. Pfster for any explanation which would readily have put them in posses sion of facts showing the charge of theft to be without foundation. The statement now issued seems to show there Is no basis either for the indictment on a charge of larceny, or for the accusations that the money held by MT. Pflster was used by him corruptly.

MUSIC RECITAL,
Appreclatlve Audience Listens to q
 Brilliant Programme.

One of the most delightful muscial en- tertainments of the year was the recital at the conservatory yesterday afternoon. Mrs John c. Lumsden sang several groups of songs. and Miss Lulu Hawkins played piano solos.
 The nengs included Night and "All
 Day" by Richard Strauss, '.The Silent Water Lily" and Spring" by yon Fielitz. Father of Heaven" from Judas Maccabeus and He Was Despisedo from the Messiah by Handel One Summer Night and two others by Grieg, "Litany" Counterfeit ''Serenade" and Who is Sylvia" by Schubert and Fierce Flames Are Soaring from Verdrs II Trovatore. In response to an ovation Mrs. Lumsden sang I'll Seville"
 Mrs. Lumsden has an .uncommonly rich and sympathetic voice and it is of wide range. Critics say that no singer who has lived in Birmingham has been gifted with finer tone qualities than she. The familiar serenade that other gem of Schubert's, "Who Is Sylvia?" were rem dered in a style especially refined and poetic.
 Miss Hcwkins performed difficult plano numbers with feeling and musicianly technique. Mrs. Gussen was Mrs Lums- dens accompanist. Both Mrs. Lumsden and Miss Hawkins are pupils of Mrs Gussen. the former for short while and Miss Hawkins for two years or more.
 Despite the indictment weather the au- dience that attended the recital quite fill- ed the conservatory hall. Many cultured musical folk were among the listeners and they were hearty but discriminating in their applause.
