Girl severely Lectured for Her Re.
mnrIss by PcnnsYIvania OficinI.

WiIkesbarre, Pa, Jan. 6.-Because she
called Miss Mary Cassidy an old maid,
Miss Margaret Farren, of Georgetown,
was arrested to-day, and Alderman Dono-
hue held her under bail to keep the peace
and fined her the costs of the case.
The alderman, who is famous as d
thrasher of wife heaters declared that a
woman who has had courage enough to
remain unmarried and independent is more
to be honored than pitied. and that it is a
shame TO refer TO such women as old
maids. Nowadays, he said, anybody can
get a man. rush him of to an alderman's
Office and marry him.

Such, it is said, viii be John r. Walsh's
defense to the charge that the Chicago
National Bank carried forged notes repre-
senting millions among its assets.
No less a person than Secretary Of the
Treasury Shaw declared in a public in
terview in Chicago, shortly after the
banks failure, that the Walsh banks did
what many other banks did. and that II
Walsh was open to criticism il would be
a very unpleasant thing for nnanciers the
whole country over. The failures Of the
Walsh bank and its allied institutions. In

gave the Chicago money market decided
shock year ago. Nevertheless. they
were not regarded BY fnanciers as serious
failures

nurses had been called in. The dactor
said to-day that his patient was all right
and would he able TO be out soon. Further

year. which is 10000 more than entered

enter the abode sacred to the memory
of the Scotch poet. On the other hand, it
should be taken into account that Alloway

lance from London and Stratford is on

themselves constituted an overwhelming

The King in Colors.

From the Illustrated London News.
Mems dress has never in recorded sar-
torial history been SO dull and uninterest-
ing as 1t became during the nineteenth
century. King Edward has made tenta-
tive efforts to enlarge masculine freedom
in this respect; the soft felt hat, tan
boots, evening trousers with a stripe OF
braid down the sides, and loose dinner
jacket all owe their introduction to the
royal arbiter of mems fashions: and at
the Windsor garden party the co,or in the
kings dress was remarked-a dark but
rich blue overcoat, pink shirt and a
heliotrope tie.
Again. at the last ball given to meet

many OF the gentleman guests were pri-
vately requested to appear in knee
breeches by the kings desire.
