Mr.. Ingvald Stub, Norwegian vice
consul for a number of states in the
northwest, with headquarters at Great
Falls, Montana, is a guest of his elder
brother, Rev. j. A. O. Stub, pastor of
Christ Luthern church, for few DAYS.
DR.. Harry keenan, was called to
Dunkirk where a young lady needed
his services. She had been handling a
hoe and the brother had another. He
accidentally cut into her foot leaving a
deep cash. She is IA years old and
does some work on the farm.
Professor Doudna, in charge Of the
misfortune to fall at his home and be
received by H. H. Emery, father of
Mrs. Doudna. How the accident hap
pened has not yet been learned.
Earl Townsend was the victim of the
hog family Thursday evening as he was
returning from Cambridge, together
with his mother and his brother Frank.
At about half past seven o'clock, when
on the Iverson hill, mile or SO east of
town, they came up behind team and
single buggy, driven, they afterwards
learned, by George Burthe's shareman,
and as on the slope ne showed no in
clination to let them pass, Earl-at his
brothers advice waited until they
reached the bottom of the hill before
attempting to go by. He could easily
have done so, but without budging an
inch, the driver of the buggy continued
in the middle of the road, and when
Earl endeavored to get onto the drive
way the wheels of the two vehicles
caught into each other, the auto was
dragged across the road, the buggy
turned completely over into the ditch
by the roadside, and from there was
dragged by the runaway horse into an
adjoining corn field. Earl's car had
one of the tires scraped off, the front
axle badly bent, and a fender and one
Of the lamps broken.

PURCHASE CONTROL
OF UNION SAYINGS
Col. M. A. Winter and s. W. Wood
ward Buy Bank Stock of E.
Quincy Smith.

The controlling interest in. the Union
Savings Bank. owned by the president
Of the Institution. z. Quincy Smith. has
been purchased by Col NJ. A. Winter
and S. w. Woodward. The purchase was
contaminated late yesterday AFTERNOON.
About a week ago Mr.. Smith aBAounced
he intended TO dispose Of his holdings
in the Fourteenth Street Institution fol-
lowing his election as vice president OF
the United States and Mexican Trust
Company, of New York. The interest held
by Mr. Smith was formerly the property
OF his father, F. H. Smith, who organ
lied the bank In 1891.
Following the announcement OF the
purchase yesterday afternoon. Col. Win
ter said he was not prepared to state
whether the acquisition Of Mr.. Smiths .
holdings indicated a merger with the
Mercantile Bank. at Ninth and @ Streets.
Of which he Is president. and Mr.. Wood
ward, first vice president He said an
announcement regarding the future Of
the Union Savings Bank probably would
be made In several days.
For several months there has been a
persistent rumor in local financial cir
cles that Mercantile Bank contemplated
merging with another institution. For
this reason II is believed that a merger
between Union Savings and Mercantile
Is planned.

GIRLS REQUEST IS DENIED.
Navy Department Unable TO Give
Young Swimmer n Convoy.

Navy Department Unable to Give
Young Swimmer n Convoy.
Although the Navy Department appre-
ciates the patriotism of Miss Rose<Pit-
onof, of Boston, the noted young woman
cwimmer, in determining to wear a bath
ing costume of the American colors in
her swim across the English Channel,
the department has decided that It can
not well assign a war ship as convoy to
the swimmer.
This answer was given by Acting Sec
retary Of the Navy Winthrop yesterday
in a letter to Representative James NJ.
McCurley, of Boston. Mr.. McCurIey
wrote TO the Secretary of the Navy,
saying Miss .Pitonofs representative had
appealed to him to obtain one or more
war ships for the purpose. Accordingly,
he asked that a torpedo boat or destroyer
or a small battle ship be assigned to ac-
company her.
Acting Secretary Winthrop found it i'm
possible to comply with the request be-
cause the American Navy has no Euro
pean station, and because Il would be i'm
practicable TO send a war ship from any
other station for the purpose.

CRICKET CLUBS BIG HIT.
Minstrel show Given in Aid Oi
building Fund n Success.

The entertainment given by the
washington Cricket Club Minstreis
last Monday night at Pythian Temple
for the building fund was a great sue
cess and the programme presented was
thoroughly enjoyed. Joseph F. Whitta-
more's tenor solos were distinct fea-
ture. while Arthur Pierce captured the
crowd with his drolI humor and excel
lent rendition of "Oceana Roll. Felix
Mahoney. as a colored damsel, added
much to the merriment of the occasion,
as did also Billy Morsell Frank Reb-
stock, and Harry Kruger. who acted as
end men.
The olio comprised splendid offerings
by ]. Frank Duggan, who rendered bass
solo that made the windows rattle, and
this was offset by the quiet comedy Of
EIseman and Martin, who gave quiet
skit entitled "A Wild Ride in an Auto"
Miss May Flack, the premier danseuse,
was unable to be present because Of the
death Of Hon. George F. Hun. Her place
was taken by two tiny tots, Misses Ger
trude Skinner and Laura Turner, who
danced and sang their way into the hearts
Of the assemblage. Not the least feature
Of the programme was the performance
of a scene from Julius Caesar" the ex-
cellent characterization OF the parts OF
Cassius and Brutus being in the hands Of
Talbot O. PuliZzi and Thomas A. Bynum.
william H. Bartholdt gave fine barry
tone solo, and Miss Inga Larsen rendered
sweet soprano aria. The Juvenile
chorus of the minstrels was made up
of the choir OF Christ P. z. Church. and
their fresh, young voices added much
to the success of the entertainment II
was announced last night that quite a
Il rye sum had been realized on the show
and that the Fairgrounds in Rock Creek
Park may soon become a reality as a

boat be established wherever possible,
and in view of the continued serious
conditions he has issued instructions that
the order be extended

DESIGNS FOR THE NURSERY
Decorations Many Mothers Like to
Make, and They Are Not Hard
to Accomplish.

Decorations for the nursery arc
now the fad of the modern mother,
who often prefers to execute her
own designs in order to express her
individual taste upon her little ones.
What are called ''life motifs" or
studies from nature are at present
popular designs for decoration and
can easily be achieved.
Take single large sheet of water
color paper and on this paste va
riety Of cut out white paper animals
which are to serve as a frieze. At
regular intervals Of twelve inches
paste one of these animals, dog,
cat, squirrel, kangaroo or any kind
of bird. All these must be cut out
of white paper, though a little va
riety is afforded by giving yellow
bills and red feet to the chickens.
The walls above and below this
frieze of white animals may be
painted in tan color and so serve as
restful background to the decora-
tions.
Trees for the motifs are also cx-
cellent and should be conventional
in shape, modelled something on the
lines of the Noah's ark type. Both
large and small are cut out of white
paper and colored respectively dark
green and yellow and crimson. Two
green trees, arranged side by side,
may be alternated by red and yellow,
and thus give charming effect.
The 'sbird" motif in the brilliant
'colors of every gay hued parrot,
robin redbreast, bird of paradise,
etc, is also highly effective on a
background of gray cartridge paper
and invariably please a nursery OF
children.

PERlLS FACED BY AvIATORS
Unnatural Conditions Under Which
They Work Responsible for Ply
sical Iiis Encountered.

Mountain climbers are subject to
what is called "the mountain sick
ness" due to the reaction of the air
and the muscular work done by
climbers. Then there is the balloon
disease, with analogous symptoms,
but which docs not appear except at
very high attitudes. Newer than
either of these is aeroplanc or avia-
tors sickness. Its effects are due to
the rapidity with which the maxi
mum height is reached and the still
greater speed at the descent, involv-
ing the passing from low air pres
sure to, higher one. Aeroplanes
sometimes reach attitudes of 10000
feet in an hour, and here the effects
on the ear, such as humming or
cracking noise, are about the same
as in balloon, but the effect on the
respiratory organs is different. The
pilot IS sooner out OF breath and nc
feels special kind of uncasiness.
During the descent the heart beats
are Of greater amplitude, but with
out accelerating. A quick descent in
sailing fight at a speed of 1000
or 1900 feet minute or even more
since Morane descended at Havre
from 5000 feet height in six min
utes-causes feeling of a special
kind or uneasincss, accompanied
with humming in the ears.
Burning in the face is also felt
and severe headache; also great
tendency to sleep. The movements
of the body are sluggish and unskill-
full. These symptoms continue for
some time after the landing, and
the tension in the arteries is no
ticed to be higher than the normal.
