MAKING OF A DEAD GAME SPORT.
Murchison Began with Tea and Almost
Reached Highballs.

When Murchison came from London to
settle in New York for business reasons
he had the usual Englishman's tendency
to afternoon tea. 1t was served in his rooms
when he was home at that hour, and even
at the CLUB he would sit down to mullins
and Ceylon when the other men were edg-
ing up on dry Martins.
He refused invitations to partake of
these insdious concoctons. for he had
never tasted any but the dreadful Amer
loan bar kind abroad but he cordially in
vited the other men to join him in his favor
ite O'Clock refreshment, much to their
amusement. ~
Finally one man. business associate Of
Murchison's, warned him that he ought
to give up the tea habit in public.
"ltM prejudice people against you in
New York. Murchison," said he. 1T looks
effeminate to sit down to tea and tcast
like an old woman. We can stand anything
hut mollycoddle in this country. For
heavens sake drink coffee if you won't take
a cocktail like a man..
Murchison was amazed-somewhat Of
Tended, in fact; but he laughed it off.

answered, "but will you tell me what is it
that makes tea feminine and coffee mas
o,iIine? ! can't see how, it concerns other
persons what drink. upon my soul can't.
Every one drinks tea at home"
"Ah, yes, but not here" said the friend.
"Cut it out!"
Murchison wished above all things to
stand we'll with his new friends. He stopped
tea and drank coffee assiduously three or
four times day. In few weeks he was
suffering from insomnia and was wreck
generally.
The doctor said he'd have to give up cof-
fee altogether. with the exception of one
small oup after dinner. Then Murchison
took to cocktails. Not understanding them
and rejoicing in their seeming innocence. he
took too many. His digestion was ruined,
his skin became yellow and his general con-
dition deplorable.
you'll have to cut down on the Martins,
Murchison," said his counsellor. "I've seen
strong men go down under them like nine
pins, They're rank poison. Why not switch
for d while?'
Murchison, thoroughly sickened. now
began to drink calsaya and cocoa. He had
one before breakfast and one after; two be-
fore luncheon and a few at tea time. About
the second week he began to see pink cobras
with green eyes and he was 30 shaky morn
ings that he had to have an absinthe frappe
as a bracer.
Then he died, and his friends at the club
said: Terrible thing about Nlurchison,

friend sadly. He was a sport all right

Paris ID the Mecca OF all who want to be
smartly dressed have TO admit that the
fashion Of sewing their dresses together has
altogether passed out Of use In Paris, Stitch

imported to this country have to be made

Of the German workers has helped their
fashionable vogue.
Even the dress reformers have realized
that their designs must TO well executed If
their propaganda Is to le successful. 1t Is
no longer possible TO design costume that
has all the wholesome merits Of hanging
from the shouldNrs and to interest well
dressed women in it merely because it
will do them good to wear 1t.
The dres, must have some elements Of
modishness If it is going to appeal to women
fond of pretty clothes. The other kind are
willing to wear anything that will benefit
their health but they will never help to in
crease the vogue Of the movement. To
make dress reform spread it Is necessary to
make it fashionable, and that can never

much worse whatever reforms were intro
duced, that indeed any change must be an
improvement. This is not perhaps SO
true now as it once was.
Within recent years German women have
come to dress better than they did. although
it is not to be denied that they wear French
models with little of the chic that shows
Paris fashions at their best. Yet there
are nowadays expensive dressmakers in
Berlin. and the transfer Of much of the GUS
tom Of the Russian women to Berlin has
made it worth the while Of smart dress
makers to do business in that capital.

beauty. 1t is not possible for instance to
believe that man would be led to fall in
love with or propose to a woman merely
because she wore one Of these gowns. Yet
they are ages in advance Of the reform gar

Mrs. Richard Strauss. wife of the composer,
wore only dresses of this kind when she was
here several years ago; but none of her
gowns approximated the styles of ordinary
dress 80 we'll as these models do.
Two of the costumes are for street wear.
The white dress for ey eyening wear has really
some beauty and a touch of modishness that
is impaired perhaps by the present ten
dency to Use classic models. Two of the
costumes were designed by women, while
the blue cloth street dress sprang from the
imagination of a tailor.

SOFTENING THE VERB TO KILL
London Lover Of Head Hunters Is soothed
by japanese Explanations.

Fox Bourne, leading member Of the
Aborigines Protection Society OF London,
has been trying to prevent further -dispo-
sition" being made Of the natives of For
mosa by the Government Of Japan. Some
time ago he sent a soathing letter to the
London and China Express. a British jour
nal with an extended circulation in the
colonies. calling attention to the wanton
slaughter by the Japanese OF the gentle
head hunters Of Formosa.
He cited an order that had been promul-
gated by the Japanese War ONCE which
directed that the campaign against the
Aiyus should be Of the dragnet order; a
Gordon sweeping from one. end OF the
island to the other for the "paciacation' of
all children Of nature who did not like
Japanese invaders. He also quoted an
item from the Japan Times Of Toxic. which
gave the number Of killed in the latest en-
gagemenr between the imperial troops and
the natives.
In a subsequent issue the London and
China E1press gravely stated that 1t was
glad to note that Mr.. Fox Bourne ~ able
through the receipt Of further mail from
Japan. to correct the impression as to the
extinction Of the aboriginal natives Of For
mosa. The original report In the Japon
tention In regard to the savages was inaccu-
rate. and what Mr.. Iwai lone Of the Japanese
colonial officers in Formosal said was that
a scheme was being drawn up with view
to disposing Of the aboriginesin one way or
another and that this disposition would be
made In as humane waylas possible"

column on the same day a despatch from

It 10 easy to conceive how the two street
gowns with little moro accent and en-

herself look as attractive as possible.

sign serves for an afternoon gown. In

SOMETHING OF REAL INTEREST
In Car That Had Held Only Senators,
Justices and Cabinet Oncer.


WASHINGTON. June ct all depends what
one is accustomed to, whether cats or Cabi-
net officers, pups or Presidents.
Last week as a Pennsylvania avenue car
was starting from the Capitol, bound up
town, there climbed aboard two Senators
of national fame Aldrich and La Toilette.
The dozen other passengers glanced up
languidly, recognized the Senators, and
then fell again to reading the advertise
ments or staring out OF the windows. -
At the Peace Monument at the foot or
the hill Justices Harlan and Brewer OF the
United States Supreme Court got on. The
messengers looked indifferently at them and
then each returned to his own particular
thoughts. Celebrated Supreme Court JUS
tices were Of no interest.
Two blocks up the Secretary of the In
terror boarded the car. Every passenger
looked disappointed to find him mere
Cabinet officer and not some acquaintance
whose company would kill the tedium Of
the uptown ride.
Then the car halted and there embarked
an ordinary man Of the Smith or Jones
type. He was carrying basket. :
AS soon as he set it down there protruded
from the rim the restless noses of couple
of month-old puppies, and from within
came the mewing of wee kitten. In an in
stant the whole car was alert with interest,
and as the doggies clumsily olasped the has
ket's edge with their unwieldy paws and
strove to Chamber out every passenger
leaned forward in eager expectancy.
The man pushed the puppies back.
murmur OF protest went up from the car
The puppies Immediately renewed their
forts, while the kitten mewed again.
"Put them in the aislel" cried a dozen
voices, the passengers leaning around
and over the celebrities, now forgotten,
II indeed they had ever been noticed, in
the eager desire to see a couple OF puppies
and kitten.
The owner amiably complied and for
half dozen blocks the antics OF g kitten
and the gambols Of two obscure and name
less puppies absorbed the attention and
interest Of score OF people who had been
sitting Indifferent TO the fact that within
canes reach Of them were five men whose
names were known to all the country and
who had not even received a-casual glance
of interest.
Had such an aggregation Of celebrities
gathered in a street car in any other city
In the country the conductor would have
whispered the news TO every incoming
passenger and felt the importance Of his
charge. But this conductor watched the
puppies and the kitten.
