W0MAN'S GUILD DID
RUSHING BUSINESS
BAZAR AT MASONIC TEMPLE
PROVED SUCCESS.
Pretty Booths Center Of Attraction
Many Sales We're Made of
Useful and Fancy Articles
and Mrs. Steube Surprised
Other Social DOingS.

The bazaar given by the Woman's
Guild of St. Paul's Episcopal church
for two days at the assembly room of
the Masonic Temple, ending last even
ing, was grand success, as was
predicted by the members of the
society. Everything was conducted
admirably and the members and their
guests spent most enjoyable even
ing, besides adding materially to their
treasury. One of the important
features was the serving of dinner and
supper on esch day from IL to 2 and
5 tu 7 O'Clock respectively. The tables
were we'll laden with toothsome visnds
and many members and friends of the
church took advantage of tie oppor-
tunlty, making the patronage very
liberal. Scarcely second to the meals
served were the booths conducted by
the ladies which were kept crowded
with buyers. There was good assert
ment of useful articles of wearing
apparel. There were fancy articles,
such as would make ideal Christmas
presents, were to be found. There
were also articles which were highly
priced by the younger folks, all booths
enjoying a liberal patronage. The
ladies of the Luild feel very we'll
satisfied over the success Of the affair
and are fully repaid for their efforts.

DIFFICULTY WITH
NEW GOLD COINS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. o.
(SpeciaD irreverent expressions
which the President declares are
caused by the motto 'In God we
trust" are nothing as compared with
the lurid language which was provok-
ed in the Philadelphia mint when the
first attempt was made to strike
the new gold coins from the Roose-
Gaudens design. The prin-
cipal mechanical difficulty is that
the design provides for an extremely
high relief on both sides, and the
ordinary coin press is incapable of
turning out the coins in perfect con-
dition. 1t was found that nothing
but medal press could be used
successfully without altering the
machinery, and medal presses are
run so slowly as to prohibit their use
for ordinary coinage
To turn out $40, gold pieces at the
slow rate of speed accomplished by
a medal press would make the coins
SO. expensive that they could not be
produced for general circulation. The
problem has been studied for several
weeks by the mint officers and en-
ployes in Philadelphia, with the
result that the machines used on
this particular coin have been pro-
vided with a mechanical attachment
which permits the presses to be run
at somewhere near the usual rate
of speed. The same device will have
to be installed in the other mints of
the country.

 After they had sobered him he again directed the maneuvers at the bottom of the sea and of the sirens.

Wild Ostriches Grow Tame.

 A group of six wild ostriches were seen on the Comomnage on Saturday after noon. The huge birds were disporting themselves on an ant heap only few yards from the road. This little group seems to have made the east end of the Comonage and the government reserve their home, andf are often to be met with.
 So tame are they that on a person ap- preaching they simply get up from the< road, where they are often lying, and walk .. few yards on to the veldt and gaze composedly at the passer by.

 And when Julie, in turn, crossed the scene in swimming in the depths, as usual, the mournful rays enveloped her; the siren resembled a spectre, a ghost, her face had grown blue, llvid, horrible, with black lips, back holes in place of eyes and her fishlike body became some thing horrible and diabolical.
 As the painter slowly turned the re- Hector he contemplated the funereal ef- fects which he created.
 He felt the infatuation within him ef- facing itself. He saw that the woman whom he had adored as beauty had not been beautiful; that he had restored her fina.ly to her reality.
 She had been beautiful only when made so by the Illuminating rays of his love.
