@. ID. BAZAAR.

Disappointment upon diSappOint-
ment met the Queens Daughters in
making arrangements for their doll
and apron bazar but it finally was
held and the most sanguine expecta-
tions of its promoters were realized.
In the first place the bazar was to
have been held in the handsome new
Foster building at the corner of Six
teenth and Champa streets, but the
building was not completed. Three
days were to have been given over to
it, covering Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. December /, and 8. At
the eleventh hour it was learned that
the building could not be in readiness
and the bazar was put over to Monday
of this week and held at 423 Sixteenth
street, in vacant store. The room
was made as attractive as possible
and all the day the young women
stood behind the booths selling the
dainty things that they had made.
The money goes to the Christmas fund
with which the society will do much
good Every year the Queens Daugh-
ters carry to homes where destitution
exists, Christmas dinners which they
have secured out of donations made
them. This year better fund than
usual will be on hand because of the
bazar.

BRIEF TELEGRAMS

New York-John NJ. McCluskey of
ireland and Scotland arrived here
Saturday on the Cunard line steamer
Campania, to take possession of the
million-dollar estate which his broth
er, James j. McCluskey of this city,
left him. John McCluskey was not at
all excited about taking over mil
lion dollar estate, although he was
found slicing turnips as a farm hand
in Scotland by Andrew Wilson, the
lawyer, who searched the two islands
for him.
He is engaged to marry. He is going
to buy the old family home in dear
old ireland. He is not going to re-
main here and become a multi-mil-
lionaire In fact, John McCluskey is
the most disappointing of new million
aires. He is so years old and has
worked hard all of his life His only
concession to his new financial sta
ton is the wearing of an emerald
green hat
A slight man, with gray-bit hair
and mustache, he arrived at the city
which gave him his wealth and OBJ
served with a calm, disinterested eye.

Thumbserew AGAIN in VOGUE.

In olden times thumbscrews were

however, 1t has made its appearance

The Odor Of Cfav

The pecr'iar odor of clay is un-
questionahly due to organic ingredi-
ents. Although this cannot be isolat-
cd or detected by chemical analysis,
they can be classified according to
their physiological effects, which vary
widely. Rohland has succeeded in
transferring the odors of clay to sac

nized 10 distinct varieties. Louis has
made similar observations, employing
ammonia as a vehicle for the doors.
