A Famous Hudson River Boat.
From the New York World

FROM the New York World.
There are people we'll on toward old age
during whose whole lifetime the Mary Pow
ell has been making her regular trips III
and down the Hudson river. Probably ne
river boat in this country is better known
than she is by reason of her half a cen
fury OF service. As queen of the river
she held her own against all Corners unit
the Sandy Hook boats were built. To
speak of the speed of any other steam
boat was to challenge comparison with
the Mary Powell.
Now that she is TO be degraded what viii
residents along the Hudson do who for
years have set their clocks by the Mary
Powell? With some other boat i'm her
place ii can never be quite the same.
What WIFI the daughters and grand
daughters of all the brides who have
travelled the Mary Powell on their
wedding Journeys have to say when they
hear that they are to be cheated of the
privilege of viewing the same scenes in
the same way? There are family tradi-
tons that even steamboat company
should hold in respect
The builder who named the Mary Pow
ell after his wife left "a more enduring
monument to her than he could have
imagined at the time. Still, if the Mary
Powell. at the respectable age of fifty
odd years. must make room for something
bigger and newer there is compensation
in the thought that the use of the Hud-
son. which has been too little appreci-
ated as waterway for commerce and
pleasure, is increasing.

LONDON TURNS TO
THE OLD GRAY HAT
Pearl Topper" of the '70s
Comes Back to Crown
Mankind.
From the Springfield Republican.

rom the Springfield kspubllcan.
The gray tall hat was popular thing
i'm this country in the '1os. as many a
reader will remember He will be inter
ested i'm the fact that the gray top hat
has come to its own again in London this
summer. Such hats are regarded as the
thing in the house OF commons. and
are TO be seen in increasing numbers at
all fashionable open-air gatherings. The
gray beaver follows the latest style Of
the ordinary tall hat. but is made of felt
with a gray silver hand instead Of black
silk This is a revival of tn old order of
things, but ii used to be the fashion here
for young men {" have wide black bands
encircle their gray hats Cool and pleas
ing is the thought Of London clad in gray
hats and light gray morning coat aud
trousers The gray hat came the cul-
mination of the gray suitings. the crown
ing glory, a. il Were. Ire top notch OF
London fashion adds gray spats. socrls
and tie to complete the picture.
King George has adopted the tall gray
hat which was a favorite with King Ed
ward before and after he succeeded Queen
Victoria Back IN 1875 two Springfield
men ventured to carry their gray tall
hats to England for the comfort of them.
but expected that their headgear would
mark them as Americans. Ii proved to
be quite otherwise. for the Prince OF
Wales had made the light gray top hat
respected commonplace in England. Per-
haps by next year the men of this coun-
try will be found wearing once again tall
gray hats, although the tendency of auto
MODELLING to make caps and other siouchy
head covering the popular thing may in
terfere with any such toning up of mas
culine bearing here.

Queer English Clubs.
From London Tit Bits.


One of the oldest of social clubs ever
established in London was the Everlast-
ing Club, limited In membership to 100.
The members divided the day among
them in such a way that there were al
ways some members present upon the
club premises. The clubhouse was burn
ed down at the time Of the great fire
OF London, when the only remaining
member on the premises was nearly
burned 90 death because he had refused
to leave before he had emptied all the
bottles on the table. The fire for light
ing the members pipes was never allow
ed to go out, an old woman being kept
solely for the purpose of attending to it.
During the fifty years of its existence
the members smoked fifty tons of tobac-
co, drank 5000 butts of ale 900 pipes
of port and 300 barrels of brandy, be-
sides other drinks
Another extraordinary club was the
signing Club. the members of which were
supposed to be wholly absorbed In think
| Ing OF their sweethearts. Each would
hold in his hand bit Of ribbon a lock
of hair, purse or some other article be-
longing to the object of his affections.
and from time to time he would address
this in terms OF endearment. On initia-
ton the member had to compose and re-
cite poem in honor of his lady, and
at the meetings a fine was imposed upon
the member who did not sigh five times
within quarter of an hour.
The Surly Club had it's meeting place
near Bilinssgate fish market, and the
membership was limited to cabmen, car
men and watermen. who used to meet
once week to exercise the art Of abusive
language, in order that they might not
lose the reputation they had gained. Any
member found guilty of courtesy or po-
likeness was promptly fined.
A club limited in membership to men
who agreed to stint themselves to the
utmost in order to increase their posses
sions was the Split Farthing Club. One
member is reported to have had his gar
ments SO darned that there was no.
enough of the original material left to
show the texture. The members pre-
scented SO starved an appearance that il
was said there was not an ounce of fat
among the lot

grains of sand blown from the earth's

looks black against a white surface

when dust settles on light surface
the dark particles catch the eye.
