The Prussian State Railroads are at
war with the citizens of the city of
Lauenburg. who refuse to pay any
thing for railroad tickets whenever
any of them feel like travelling. claim
ing that an ancient concession gives
every inhabitant of the town the right
to free passage on the railroads of
the state, and it looks very much as
if the Prussian Minister of Transpor-
tation will have to give in as the de-
termined burghers threaten to tear
up the rails and by doing SO cut off di-
rect railroad communication between
Berlin and Hamburg.
The right to travel free on Frussian
railroads was granted the inhabitants
of Lauenburg about 55 years ago when
the railroad from Berlin to Ham
burg was built.
Lauenburg was at that time a Dan
ish duchy and it was necessary to get
permission from the Danish govern.
ment to run the road through the lit.
tie state, and this permission was
granted on the condition that every
adult inhabitant of Lauenburg and
their descendants were to travel free,
whenever they wanated to. on all
Prussian roads.
The recent Socialist victories at the

that in the new Reichstag the Social

now generally placed on the reaction
airy politics of Chancellor Won Beth

The bill which the Chancellor, as
Prussian Premier, introduced into the
Prussian Diet was from any reform
ing point of view, not only bad but
ridiculous. 1t was literally Kissed off
the stage At the same time the re-

Colonial office marked the end of all

porter, "was one abo.t a jackpot"
says the Detroit Free Press.
"a beautiful young bride. the story
ran, entered corner grocery one

Have you got any jackpots. Mr..
Sands?"
No, ma'am,' Sands answered, and
he had a smile behind his hand I've
got teapots and coffee pots, but Jack
pots, | don't stock.
"'Oh. dear!' said the bride. A
frown wrinkled her smooth and beau
tiful brow. I'm sorry! You see, Mr..
Sands, my husbands mother used to
cook for him, and nearly every night
he talks in his sleep about a JACKPOT.
So thought I'd get one, for since he
mentions 1t so often he must be used
to 1t. Could you tell me, Mr.. Sands,
what they cook in jackpots?'
Greens, ma'am.' was the quick
answer"

In many instances, oiled, water
proof cloth will answer every purpose
for the hot or cold frames, and it is
much less expensive than glass. Com
mon white muslin may be used, and
the simplest way is to saturate the
muslin with pure, raw linseed oil;
this may be put on the frames. An
other way is to take three pints of
pale linseed oil, one ounce of sugar
of lead, four ounces of white rosin.
Grind and mix the sugar of lead in a
little oil, then add the other materials
and heat in an iron kettle, applying
hot with brush. Thin, stout MANILA
paper may be stretched over frame
and pasted firmly down with fresh
-four paste, then painted on both sides
with boiled linseed oil; but this is
not so lasting as the muslin, nor to be
recommended where the muslin may
be had.

THE PENDANT FAD

An Expensive Baubie It May Be
or the Reverse.

The pendant is the jewel Of the mo-
ment nearest a woman's heart, literal
ly and figuratively. Little wonder
when she knows what a pretty touch
it adds to her frock.
A very expensive bauble it may be,
too, when set with dozens of superb
diamonds and huge pearl in the cen
ter-a brilliant wheel of many spokes.
One of particularly exquisite work

phires set in shapes Of tiny fans whose
handles touch an outside circle OF
those deep hued stones.

many of the handsomely enameled
ones.
The French jewelry counters boast
some charming designs in this ultra
fashionable whim or adornment AS
low in price as dollar are plenty of
exceedingly wearable pieces, and they
will wear as long as the fad. Women
are buying as many as half dozen OF
these inexpensive pendants, selecting
those In which the setting matches
their various gowns. Lapis lazuli for
her dark blue suit, turquoise matrix
for the light blue dance frock, and 80
on through her wardrobe will the gar
net, coral, jade. aquamarine, topaz and
others match. Brilliants surround
many OF the loveliest.
Hence do not mourn, ye feminine
lovers or these fancies, for the unat-
tainable diamonds and fashionable
pearls-some Of the very prettiest bear
modest prices.

the imprisoned mayor can continue to
hold Office while serving his term.

Hamilton as chief of the Lawrence fire
department and of conspiring later to
secure Hamilton's removal from that
position, Mayor William p. White OF
Lawrence was sentenced to serve
three years in the Essex county house
of correction and TO pay a fine of
$1,000. Samuel Kress was sentenced
TO two and half years Imprisonment,
Matthew Burns to two years and
George ID. Smart to year and half.
Ernest Dube also was convicted but
not sentenced, his case being placed on
file because he had given evidence for
the prosecution.
Hamilton is now under indictment
for alleged bribery in securing confirm
alton of his appointment 1t is expect
ed that he will be placed on trial in
September. He still holds his position
as fire chief.
Mayor White made an impassioned
address to the court, saying that he
had been innocent of any wrong in

while the other convicted men made
no statement.

the enormity of the offense of city of

office. He also censured the other men

sentence. He showed many signs of
nervousness. 1t was thought by his
friends that he might be placed on
probation on account of the dignity of
his office. AS the sentence was read

Marrow Dutch Collars.

Narrow Dutch collars have caught
the feminine fancy and are shown
in the cutest combinations of linen or
batiste and embroidery or lace. Mere
frills on a tiny band are very smart.
Some of these are touched with color
or edged with butter colored lace, the
latter being a fad at present in Paris.
From two to five inches is the correct
width of these fat neck dressings.
Fichus bid fair to be very popular, and
very dainty and softening to the face
are the new fichu collars. The van
dyke shaped collar is quaint and
charming to see on women of certain
demure types. A braid Of black satin
has taken its place around the top Of
many of the plated or killed collars.
So chic is the effect that one does not
appreciate at once its double purpose
of, lengthening the usefulness of those
hard to launder frills.
Novelties in rabats, jabots and tiny
collar bows are shown in odd shapes
by the score, with many bits Of Per
sian colorings to brighten them up.

Naturalists employ an interesting
method to preserve all kinds of spi
ders' webs. The webs are first spray
ed with an atomizer with artists shell
lac, and then, should they be of the
ordinary geometric form, they are
pressed carefully against a glass plate,
the supporting strands being at the
same time severed.
After the shellac has dried, the
plates carrying the webs can be
stored away in a cabinet.
Even dome-shaped webs may be
preserved in their original form by
spraying them with shellac and then
allowing them to dry before removal
from their supports. Many spiders
webs are very beautiful, and all are
characteristic of the species to which
they belong, so that, from a scientific
standpoint, their permanent preserva-
ton is very desirable.
