She Is dreadfully chilly, and is evidently doing ser very best to freeze out her flowers, her ftrawberry festivals, and her charity home (nnivorsanes that other years she had milled upon bo sweetly and benignly. They refuse, however, tobe frozen out and Dravely maintain their rights. Tho fio era shiver a Sttlo,itistruo, in the anything but gentle Ind caressing breezes; tho strawberries are levonred with chattering teeth or besido a as Are: and the anniversaries are attended a winter wraps, redolent with camphor ind other moth protective commodities, but 111 this does not interfere with the pro gramme laid down by May in her more tffablo moods. Of flowers there is a great profusion, both rildand cultivated, and a spray orablos om of cno or tho other decorates almost ivery coat lapel, whether masculine or 'eminine, seen on the streets. Strawberry festivals have made a good beginning. Two ere given on Friday evening, one at tho ielleficld Presbyterian Church, and one at .he Emory M. E. Church in the East End. Fashion's Decree for Berries. They were both cnjojablo affairs, though ad to relate, the berries were eaten with poons, when fashion has decreed that they hould be eaten with forks not tho regular hree-tincd dining fork, but a delicate ittle two-tined affair, manufactured ixpresslv for berries with a pretty wisted "handle and Mr. Sterling's name n it of course. They come in sets of half . dozen with a flat round spoon for sifting Hjwdered sugar and a deep howled ono for udlingtho cream. The forks are so con rived that they servo the double purpose of tutting the berry and carrying it to the uouth; and they are so daintv and delicate md increaso the nicety of table service to iaeh an extent that the disadvantage of eat bc berries with only a coating or cream, vhen many prefer them swimming In it, is tntirely overcome. But ono Jeweler, thus ar, in the citv has imported the sets, and as pidly as they are recieved they are placed n tho window and disposed of almost lmine Itotely. Jt is not impossible, however, as many will .Sirm, to enjoy berries without the forks or ee cream without special Ice cream spoons. Tie little inmates 01 tho Kidge Street Or han Asylum at the anniversary celebration ast Tuesday, certainly had no ice cream poons or ucrry lorts, ana j et tno way tnoy njoyed their lruit and their cream was a aution. and their manners at the table did .St suffer from the lack of tho extra silver, "he program'ne of song and recitation tho Hf lc ones presented before the refreshment lour was a pretty performance all the way brougham! as the tinv mortals came for mrdwith their beaming laces and bright yes to do their individual parts, and loaned heir fresh childlh voices to unison singing, t had a vanning effect upon the hearts 01 11 thoe who saw and heard, that counter cted the coolues- of the atmosphere.

The Success of tho Festival.

The Fiancee Now Takes Pains to Malign the Man of Her Choice, "The latest fad.as well as I canmake out," says a "Washington woman of society, as quoted in'the St Iiouis Globe-Democrat, "is for girls who are engaged to be married to speak slightingly and in on uncompliment ary fashion of the young gentlemen of their choice. A young woman of my acquaintance, who has recently plighted her troth, called upon me yesterday, and I took advantage of the opportunity to congratulate her. I could do so quite truthfully, because the young man in the case was well known to me as possessing every desirable quality good looks, good temper, good reputation, and money as well, xo my surprise his fiancee responded by saying that she did not regard him very favorably herself. She certainly did not consider him at all food looking; he might be virtuous enough, ut one did not expect a man to be too goody-goody, and as for amiability, one never knew how a husband would turn until she had married him. . "I should have been more astonished at this discourse had I not heard the same sort of talk from other girls similarly situated within tho last year. Therefore I am inclined to believe that it is really, as I uuve saiu, u new iau. j. uiurc unuesiraDle one I can scarcely imagine, nor can I con ceiv what apology there can be for it. It is baa enough that a girl should not admire the man she has chosen. Even if it were true, it would be deplorable ill-taste to speak of it, But to effect it is- a most ex traordinary absurdity, inasmuch as a young woman who speaks that way confesses by inference that she has accepted a poor specu men of manhood because she has lost hopV of securing a better one." EETDAL FART? LOCKED TO. They Were Investigating a Prison andPuHod a Door Shut, Newcastle, Eng., Chronicle. Testerday, after the celebration of a mar riage by special license in the Sheriff Court House, Edinburgh, the wedding party nar rowly escaped being confined in a prison cell for a night. After the interesting cere mony, finding that they would require to spend a few hours in Edinburgh before start ing on the honeymoon, the bridegroom got one of the attendants to show the party through the building. After visiting the Civil, Summary, and Criminal Courts, and having the bench, bar, jury and witness boxes pointed out, the attendant lifted the trapdoor and conducted the party into the celts where the prisoners are kept awaiting trial. The newly-wedded pair, the bridesmaid, groomsman and attendant entered one of the cells and shut the door, which requires to be opened from the outside. The pris oners for the day had all been taken to the jail. It seldom happens that anyone re quires to be in that part ol the buildings after the prisoners are removed. The at tendant used every effort to attract atten tion, but did not succeed- till the party had endured nearly an hour's experience of "durance vile," when another attendant, in passing from one of the stores, informed on official that a prisoner was making a dis turbance in one of the cells. The officer on opening the cell was thunderstruck on the position of affairs being explained. GKEAT REMNANT SALE. Short Lengths Carpets, Enough to Cover an Ordinary Boom, at About Half Price.

Looas, of the Second Brigade staff, returned yesterday afternoon from Franlrlln. where he had been to see General WyUe. in connection with the coming en campment of the brigade. Compawt I, of McKeesport, commences target work this week, the company having secured the same range it shot over in 1888, it being considered an excellent one. Cap tain Conn announces his intention of bring ing his command up to the records of the f last two years, tnut 01 quaiuying every man j in the organization, and he also expects to 1 have the field and staff of tbe Eighteenth I Bpend a day on his range shortly by special I mviiatiuu, InsPEornro officers should be careful to re turn guns to men after inspection of the piece according to the caliber of the gun A number of instances were noted during the past week where 45-callber guns were handled by the inspecting officer the same as though It was a 50-caliberpiece and vice versa. If the inspecting officer does not handle tho niece correctly what can be ex pected from'the enlisted man? The City Troop, of Philadelphia, was the first organization in the country to be in spected In the new regulation tactics. By special permission they were used by the Troop last Monday night at the annual in spection and passed through them most creditably. The Secretary of War expects to promulgate them this, week, and their final adoption will commence at once. They inaugurate a great many changes in the manual of arms, which are claimed to be much more practical and precise than the old manual. Their adoption in Pennsylvania will shortly follow. Is orders General McClelland announces some of the details relative to the coming camps of the Guard. The First and Third Brigades' encampment will be from July 13 to July 25 inclusive, and that of the Second Brigade from July 25 to August L The usual inspections by the Inspector General will be made while the soldiers are on duty, and no enlistments except re-enlistments will bo al lowed within 30 days of the close of the tours. Detailed reports from tho company commanders as to the monies received and expended since the last camp will be de manded, and in most other respects the de tails required are similar to those of other years. Compabt B, of the Eighteenth Regiment, was inspected in the Fifth Avenue Market House last Thursday evening; Forty-five men and three officers were present, and the company as a whole passed the most crea ltable inspection it has done for several years. Lieutenants Wessell and Bigger de serve a great deal of credit for rescuing the company from its previous poor condition. Company D, of the same regiment, under command of Captain Henry, was put through tho 1 test last Tuesday night with 37 men and three officers. The work of tho company was not up to the standard of other years and passed rather a poor inspec tion. Company A, of the Fourteenth Regi ment, presented 68 officers and men for in spection on Tuesday evening to Major Pat terson. The woik of the command was good throughout. A Philadelphia newspaper last Friday editorially commended "tho Tenth and Eighteenth Regiments in the highest terms for tho services performed at- Mt. Pleasant and Scottdale. In reply to this. Adjutant General McClelland yesterday sent the following letter, which is worthy of reproduction: "I desire most sincerely to thank you for the very kind manner you this morning referred to the National Guard of the State. The guard is all you have so well said in praise of it. There is general conces sion that Pennsylvania has the finest, most soldierly National Guard of all the States; and your encouraging words tend to im prove its esprit de corps. Nothing could be truer than your commendation of the Tenth and Eighteenth Regiments, which were so firomptly concentrateu at Mt. PleaBant on he 2d ult. Every officer andman from Brig adier General Wiley to the last man enlisted in those regiments condncted themselves as true Pennsylvania citizen-soldlers,reflectlng credit on the entire guard, and giving assur ance to the people of the State that they could be depended upon for any emergency requiring their services." Probably one of tho most important events connected with the guard during the past week was tho announcement that hereafter every company must qualify in marksman ship at least 30 of its members under penalty of disbandment. The wording of the order is: "Every soldier in Pennsylvania is ex- eected to becomea marksman, for no soldier i efficient unless he is able to qualify. If any company in the infantry-or cavalry arms fails to qualify at least 30 members, un less satisfactory reasons are shown for such failure, it will be considered so lacking in discipline as to warrant its disbandment. This announcement has created considerable discussion pro and con on the question, and in Pittsburg at least the majority of the guardsmen think that Colonel Osthaus has taken too radical a step in tho matter.' Dur ing the term of Colonel Watresatthe head of the Ordnance Department, the number of marksmen grew from a few hundred to over 4,600. Tho incentive to the work was a love of the subject Itself and tho slight rewards the State furnished to the successful com petitors. No insinuation has ever been cast as to crooked work in this depart ment, but the necessity now, and the reduction of the matter to a stern re quirement places the work in a different scale altogether. Colonel Osthaus comes from a portion of the State where every man had a rango at his back door and almost un limited timo to practice. ' nad this order been in voguo last year, 32 companies, or nearly half of tlie entire National Guard would have been mustered out. It is fair to presume that every company commander did his best last year and this saddling of a new responsibility on their already well burdened shoulders is unfairto say theleast. Colonel Osthaus should understand that the National Guard is composed of citizens, not men who make their living by soldier ing. Tho exactment Colonel Osthaus calls for this year is not even asked for in the regular service. KNOWS BOOTH IS DEAD. Testimony of a Man Who Knew the Assassin Very Intimately. "I knew John "Wilkes Booth well," says George "W. "Wiggins, of "Washington, in the St. Louis Olobe-Democrat. "I lived in "Wash ington during the war and saw much of him. I was passing the theater the night he assassinated President Linooln with the lady who is now my wife, and saw Booth enter the building. He spoke to us, and I said after he passed: Ida, I beliere John will go crazy yet.' He neither looked nor acted naturally. Later on I heard of tlie tragedy and hurried to Secretary Stanton. I was a clerk iri-the War Bureau, and knew the Secretary. "He had already heard of tho awful crime. The Secretary ordered me to seize a horse and ride down to the National Hotel, near which were the cavalry headquarters, and warn them to let no one pass and to hunt for Booth. Pennsylvania avenue in those days was paved with cobblestones "nigger heads," they called them. I rode so fast that showers of sparks flew from the hoofs of my horse. I never witnessed so much excitement as on that evening and for days and weeks .thereafter. All the talk you read about that the assassin was not cap tured is rotten rot. Isaw Booth's body and was among those who identified him. Booth is as dead as Julius Csesar or Jumbo." ARTTSTIO EFFECTS XN Fine Flowers And plant decorations.

HEW FiyiHO-KACHIlfE IDEA. A Louisiana Man Who Declares Bodies Weigh Less When la Motion. "The figures of Prof. Langley, pf the Smithsonian, showing that objects have less weight while in motion than when at a standstill, are correct," says J. D. Graybill, M, D., of Shreveport, La. "I demonstrated the same.fact years ago, when but" a boy of 10. I'feed to take, different shaped stones and throw them with force 'along the surface of a stream of water to see how far they would go without sinking. Since that time I have worked out the problem to my entire . satisfaction, both in theory and practice. "I have the machinery in model form for a nVini? machine, and have had it for ten years. The wings of the machine have the j motion oi ine wings oi a uixu. jluu b.io of machine, large enough to carry two per sons, will not "weigh more than 80 or 100 pounds. The lack of a motor was what first stopped my work. Then about the time I had succeeded with a motor my health failed. Now, however, I have regained my health. My motor will run other things besides flying machines. It will run street cars equally well with the' electric motor. "Were it not that I would be thought a crank, . I would say that this motor will go ahead of the greatest expectations of the BZeely motor. t - "I don't use steam, heat or electricity,bui may use a little gas. I natter myself that I have a powerful motor. Now, so far as the fiver is 'concerned I am ahead of the world. And just here let me say a word of warning. "When they talk of running through the air a machine that weighs a ton, you can bet all yon are worth it will not fly.

Children are assuhject to catarrh as adults, and much orTOo trouble referred to other diseases, such as habitual headache, cough, worms, colic, etc., is caused by this disease. They become weak opd puny, and look like little dried-up old men and womon,. when they should be sleek and fat and rosy. Children who have becomo weak and puny soon take on new life and growth under the combined local and internal treatment as practiced by Dr. Byers. , Muter WUUe Uannam. A case in point is Master Willie Hannam, aged 7, whose parents live on Stanwlx St., Mt. Washington. When first brought to tha office of Dr. Byers he suffered with continual headaches, coughed all the time, was always hawking and spitting to clear his throat, had pains in the chest, both ears troubled him a great deal and ho frequently had spells of sickness at tho stomach, etc., etc. His mother said "he just laid around all the time and didn't feel like playing." Dr. Byers directed his treatment to the nose, throat and ears, and gave him medicine internally for his stomach, and was soon re warded by noticimr an entire disannenrnnea of all the annoying symptoms the little fel low has now all the vim peculiar to chil dren of his age, is feeling well and growing rapidly. Dr. Byers has at tho present time a great many children under his care, and has but little trouble in treating them, as he wins their confidence and affection from the first.
