BAZAAR WAS A
GREAT SUCCESS

The bazaar given by the Ladies'
guild of st. Marks church at the
Miners Echange hall last evening
proved to be a greater success than
the ladies had hoped for and before
the midnight hour had been reached
many Of the tables had been sold
completely out The affair was
crowded and those engaged in selling
the articles at the various tables
were kept SO busy that many had to
call for extra assistants.
The candy department reaped .
regular harvest and many were the
sheNels taken from the unwsry l,r
G. L. Hammond proved the angel
here, and before he was able to make
his getaway he was forced to resort
to tabs. Newt Crumley purchased
the entire stock of aprons and re-
GREETED that the supply was ex-
hausted. Brother Grant caught the
fishing fever and left just $500 with
Rebecca at the well. The utility
table attracted both sexes and many
novelties were on exhibition. The
telegraph booth made Fred Berry
feel like young man again and he
purchased the entire stock of tele-
grams. At the fancy work table and
hand painted china exhibition Mike
Flint took the prize for the largest
number of purchases. Some exceed
ingly clever designs in artistic work
were on sale. The lemonade and re-
freshments served the entire assem-
blage with delicacies of all kinds
Westley Stewart had charge of this
department (washing dishes) and he
made quite a hit.
Dancing was started at O'Clock
and between the promenades the
various tables were visited.

bazaar deserve credit in the excellent

Circus Aristocrats.

The question was about a certain per.

now equestrian director of the New
York Hippodrome after forty-six years
in the sawdust ring, curled his lip un-
der the little gray upturned mustache
and shook his head.

the business to be one of your" I
asked him.
"Oh, hundred and fifty years or
so. Some of us are god deal older
than that. For instance, l am the
fifth generation of performers. We
go back more than one hundred and
fifty years, and during all that time
every member of my family has been
circus performer. Practically all
the best performers before the public
all over the world have come from
about twenty different families"
These twenty great circus families
make up an aristocracy as completely
recognized, as closely hedged by ira
dition, as carefully safeguarded in its
own world as that of any monarchy.

Great sritain's Smallest House.

The quaint old town of Conway
north Wales, boasts possession of the
smallest house in Great Britain. This
quaint house consists of only two
rooms, one above the other, each of
which is just two yards square.
The place is more than 800 years
old and is in every respect a curious
dwelling place. The upstairs room,
which is reached by mounting a tiny
ladder, has in it four-foot bed and a
washstand, so that there Is none too
much room for the occupant to move
about. Names of visitors ornament
the walls. The present caretaker
states that one tenant actually brought
up a family of ten in this miniature
house, though no explanation is forth
coming as to how the feat was per-
formed.
The present occupant, who has in
habited the cottage for seven years,
pays a rent Of seven and sixpence per
week, and is very proud of the fact
that she lives in the tiniest house
in Great Britain.-World Wide Mag

Great Demand for Basket Willow.

New York state leads the union in
the production of willow for the manu-
facture of baskets and wicker furni-
ture, and many of her farmers are
making good profits from its culture.
The fact that SO percent of the best
grade basket willow used In the Unit
ed States is imported from Europe
Is positive proof that it's domestic pro-
duction is still an undeveloped indus
try. This latter fact is, moreover. set
forth in a report recently made by
Massachusetts manufacturer to the
National Forest Service. This firm
has tried to obtain willow grown in
this country, but has given up the idea
and now imports its whole stock from
France. The Mohawk valley is the
leading section in the proC>lction of
willow rods at present Everything
produced finds an immediate market,
and the demand is rapiG,y on the in
crease, while the supply grows steadi-
ly more inadequate, the result being
that the growers receive excellent
prices. European manufacturers COM
pete keenly for the best products in
the countries on the other side of the
Atlantic, and until recently only the
inferior rods were shipped to Ameri-
ca. The prices now prevailing are
three times those quoted for a similar
stock few years ago.-Boston Trans

NAVAL SUBMARINES.
Rapid Development of This Engine
of War in Twenty-one Years.

"ePe DeSSioPHent " ms GHSine
Of War in Twenty-one Years.
The first steps toward the practi
cal adoption of submarines in modern
fleets were taken in France. The Gym.
note Of 1856 was the earliest example
She was about sixty feet long and
weighed about thirty tons. When sub.
merged she had a speed of six knots,
and at the surface rather more. She
was propelled by electric motors, cur
rent for which was supplied by storage
batteries.
/, This vessel was followed by the
Gustave Zede in 1891, a vessel li8
feet in length. weighing 265 tons, and
having speed of eleven knots at the
surface and eight knots under water
Considerable difficulties arose on the
trials and several years were occupied
in overcoming them. Ultimately sue
cess was attained, and the experience
gained helped forward the rapid de-
velopment of submarines in the French
navy that followed upon the Fashoda
incident In 1898. France possessed
two complete submarines at that time
and another was building. On March
81, 1907, the completed submarines or
that country numbered forty and there
were fifty-nine others building. The
largest vessels yet laid down in France
are about 200 feet long, weigh $50
tons, have engines of LOO horse-pow-
er, are to attain a speed of fifteen
knots, carry six or seven torpedo
tubes, and will cost 100000 each.
simultaneously with the movement
in France attention was directed in
the United States to the performances
of .subm@ rines built by Holland. In
1S96-acer twenty-one years continu-
Gus worI-the Plunger was laid down
from Hollands designs under a con-
tract with the Navy Department. She
was eighty-five feet long, weighed
165 tons and was propelled at the
surface by steam engines, oil fuel he
ing used in the boilers. This mode of
propulsion proved unsatisfactory. An
other Holland submarine, subsequent
ly purchased for the United States
navy, was fitted with gasoline engine
for surface propulsion and electric
motors for use when submerged. This
boat was about fifty-four feet long
and weighed seventy-five tons. She
proved successful on trial. In March
last the United States navy possessed
eight completed vessels of the Hol-
land type, while four more were build
ing. A rival type has been introduced
in the United States by Mr.. Simon
Lake and has been adopted in other
navies to limited extent. Compare
tive trials have been made recently
between representative vessels of the
two types, and it has been decided to
expend the special grant made by Con-
gress on more Holland submarines
