HAS SURPRISED PARIS.
At the gay French capital, which
during the exposition is even more
productive of novelties and big events
in society than in an ordinary year,
a sensation is being created by the
magnificent entertainments provided
by an American couple, Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas F. Walsh. One week it is a
magnificent entertainment on one of
the Seine river boats, the next some
grand excursion for the American
colony in Paris, or a gorgeous feast;
a week or two ago it was a dinner
party at Belgium, wnere the Walshes
sat next the king, and after that a
unique trip in a sumptuous special
train of five palace cars. In short, the
society of the French capital has no
greater lion than Tom Walsh. That
the Walshes are not endeavoring sim
ply to get into society by their lavish
expenditures is evidenced by the fact
that no particular class of society at
tends. All —high and low and be
tween —are made to feel welcome, and
In doing the honors, Tom Walsh de
rives his chief pleasure.
Mr. Walsh is immensely wealthy.
His success can hardly be attributable
to luck, but rather to his own hard
work and enterprise. He has never
had any sympathy with idleness, hav
ing continually recognized the dignity
and deserts of honest labor. He was
born in Tipperary, Ireland, in 1851,
where, after receiving a fair educa
tion, he worked for several years as
a millwright. He came to America
and settled in 1870 at Worcester,
Mass., for a few years. Then he went
to Colorado, Mid was a carpenter and
building contractor at the new camp
of Central City. He had always been
interested in mining, and from this
time on he began to study up the
subject during his spare time. He
was fortunate, and eventually struck
it rich. Now he is owner of a mine
which he refused to sell a short tim*
since for $35,000,000. His income is
approximated at SIOO,OOO a month.
The friends of his poorer days are
not neglected now that wealth has
come to Mr. Walsh and his charity
and friendly loans—or gifts—are
known to many of his old associates.
Mrs. Walsh's health failed three
years ago, and she was advised to try
a lower altitude. It was then that he
concluded to go to Washington, where
he purchased a most luxurious home.
Ever since the public has made itsell
free therein. Mr. Walsh has no
"functions," nor "events," nor "soi
rees," nor "pink teas." He hates for
mality of any kind. It is this demo
cratic way of doing things that has
surprised the Parisian world. They
open their French eyes with astonish-
THOMAS F. WALSH,
ment and sometimes a visible shrug
is manifested at the ease with which
Mr. Walsh invites high and low to his
ball or banquet.
Created a New lu.lmtry.
About the middle of this century il
•was the universal custom to face the
white keys of pianos and organs with
ivory, and to make the black ones ol
ebony. Long age ivory became too ex
pensive for any but the finest key
boards, calluioid taking its place. Now
ebony also has advanced in price, so
that a substitute for it is in demand.
Dogwood hns been found to serve the
purpose excellently, and It can be
stained a fine black and oiled and pol-
until it quite equals ebony both
in durability and appearance. The
Industry of cutting and marketing dog
wood. once a valuable tree, for this
purpose, is already giving employment
to a considerable number of people.

} THE MISSING FREIGHT, jj
BY HAROLD NAEMANSSON.
Rodney Graham was well thought of
in Creseeiitville. His father, Nelson
Graham, had run the general store
there for many years, and was rated
in ••Dunn's" ns "G. S. M. 3„" which
cabalistic letters established the Gra
ham credit on a solid foundation
throughout the Vnited States, so that
whenever a salesman happened to stop
at Creseeiitville. he always made a
call at Nelson Graham's.
Creseentville, Illinois, was a flourish
ing city of over 2000 inhabitants, and,
of course, things were just rushing.
Tlie city contained two manufactur
ing plants, a brewery, a First Nation
al Bank of Creseentville, an Electric
Light and Power Company, and a rail
road depot. Also, various stores and
siniill industries according to Its needs.
The railroad was a loop of the B. It. &
C. S., the main line ten miles from
Creseentville.
Nelson Graham, as the proprietor of
the general store, was quite an in
fluential citizen, and it was under
stood that his son, Rodney, was In a
position to pick the profession of his
choice. The law, medicine, art, music,
poetry, stenography, bookkeeping,
were all within his reach; he consid
ered them all from different points of
view (very differently from most peo
ple! and then deliberately chose the
profession of stoking a freight engine.
The masses of Creseentville resented
Ills choice. They were surprised and
displeased. They discussed it over tea
tables, drug counters and saloon bars,
and decided that Rodney, though
smart, was born without ambition.
For this reason they voted against
Nelson Gralinm when he ran for may
or, and defeated him, which shows
how the slas of the sons are visited
upon their fathers.
Rodney Graham was peculiar in
many ways. He came home to Cres
eentville once a week, and In his con
versation frequently cursed the
freight engine. Instead of having a
consuming affection for It—as all well
regulated stokers arc supposed to have—
he shamefully abused and (metaphor
ically) despitefully used it. He said
tlie boilers were bad—the brakes were
no good—the engineer was crazy— and
that were it not for Ids untiring zeal
and sleepless watchfulness, fast
frieght Number Forty-Six of the
great B. R. & C. S. R. R. would be con
tinually jumping off the track and
having to be lifted on again at great
expense of life and money. He said
that all stokers were excused from pur
gatory; but notwithstanding all the
things he said he stuck to his job, and
when his father solicited the votes of
his fellow citizens for the honorable
position of alderman, his fellow citi
zens elected some one else.
In addition to running the Creseent
ville general store. Nelson Graham
was interested in the First National
Bank of Creseentville. lie had always
deposited his receipts there, and as
they had grown in volume he had in
vested what he could spare and was
now vice-president of the bank. It was
In the fall of the year that the free
silver agitation hurst forth In all its
virulence. The Democratic party
would surely win the elections, and
the value of the dollar would he cut
in half. The farmers all around Cres
eentville wanted their money before
the dollar depreciated. The Creseent
ville bank had money loaned out to a
number of neighboring mnnufneto
rles on easy terms, and this money
could not be called In. Therefore the
Creseentville bank was in difficulties,
and the farmers came up and besieged
It
If the hank suspended, Nelson Gra
ham would go with It If the bank
pulled through, Nelson Graham would
pull through. The bank wanted $30,-
000 to meet tlie demands upon It, hut
no one knew where to get the money
In time.
These were the circumstances when
Rodney Graham departed from Cres
eentville one afternoon, to stoke fast
freight Number Forty-Six, which he
would join at St Louis, stoking It to
Chicago and hack. The station agent
was on the platform at Creseentville,
and saw Rodney Graham get into the
enh of the train which left Creseent
ville for St. Louis nt. a quarter before
six. The frieght agent at Mattoona
saw Rodney Graham In the cab of
Number Forty-Six when it stopped for
water. It left Mattoonn on time—
passed Kalakokaontime. Built did not
reach Dalnbeke. It was signalled to
Dalnbeke, and the operator-there wait
ed for it, because after it had gone It
was his intention to get his supper.
Number Forty-Six was 15 minutes lute;
30 minutes late; 45 minutes late; one
hour late—clearly it must have met
with some accident since it left Kala
koka.
The Dalnbeke agent (Dlmkins), wired
Chicago that fast freight Number
Forty-Six had met with an accident
and was delayed. Then he arranged
with some one to watch tlie depot,
went home and took a hasty mouthful,
collected two or three people and a
doctor, and started up the track to
ward Kalnkoka, a distance of about
five miles.
The doctor's report of the adventure
is as follows:
"After ascertaining at the depot that
no train of any kind had passed, we
walked along tlie tracks to Kalnkoka,
expecting to discover tlie wreck of
fast freight Number Forty-Six at nay
moment To our great surprise, how
ever, we saw no signs of the train
anywhere, on nceount of which Dlin
klns said that Tompkins (ths Kula-
koka agent) must have been mistaken
in signalling the train to Dalabeke.
"On arriving at Kalakoka we found
tlie station deserted. We then went to
Tompkins' house and found liim in
bed. On rousing him, he stated that
fast freight Number Forty-Six most
certainly passed through Kalakoka on
time, and distinctly insinuated that, if
Dinkins didn't see it pass through
Dalabeke, Dimkins must have been the
worse for something—perhaps liquor.
"Mr. Dimkins hotly resented this
imputation, and the two men were
lighting before we had an opportunity
to interfere. The Kalakoka police
man unfortunately happened to Is 1 near,
and rushing up, began clubbing us all,
under the impression, I suppose, that
we were an organization of bandits
about to make a raid on the village.
After an extended period of general
misunderstanding, altercation and per
sonal injury, the tumult was stilled,
and we all returned to the depot. Here
Dimkins wired St. Louis, only to he in
formed that fast freight Number
Forty-Six had left that city on time
and that nothing unusual had tran
spired.
"As nothing could be made of it we
started back along the tracks to Dala
beke, where we arrived without inci
dent of any kind. Part of the railroad
ran through a wood which was fenced
oft' by posts and barbed wire. The rest
of the way the railroad ran through
open prairie.
"It was ridiculous to suppose that a
fast freight train could have utterly
disappeared between Kalakoka and
Dalabeke and the only probable hy
pothesis seemed to be that Tompkins
was mistaken in some way in suppos
ing that the train had passed Kala
koka."
Thus ends the doctor's narrative.
The next morning it became evident,
that fast freight Number Forty-Six
had in some way disappeared. Chica
go, however, took it as a joke. The
newspaper reporters went down to
see Tompkins, who had seen the miss
ing train pass Kalakoka. Tliey
plagued and exasperated him to such
an extent that lie resigned his position
in disgust. A Chicago paper printed
a funny article in regard to Tompkins,
entitled, "The Freight That Didn't Ma
terialize." The Federal Express com
pany's representative called on the
president of the B. It. & C. S. It. It.
and was Informed that freight Num
ber Forty-Six had not yet left St.
Louis. The Federal Express com
pany's representative expressed his
satisfaction and inquired when fast
freight Number Forty-Six had not yet
left St. Louis. The Federal Express
company's representative expressed
his satisfaction and inquired when
fast freight Number Forty-Six would
leave St. Louis, because she had
$50,000 in currency aboard, and the
Federal Express company was anx
ious.
The president of the B. It. & C. S.
It. It. answered that the $50,000 was
all right, and that the disquieting
rumors were nonsense. Then he
wired St. Louis that fast freight Num
ber Forty-Six must be found at once.
St. Louis replied that they would im
mediately put on a tracer, and there
after maintained silence.
At Crescentville, Illionis, there were
sensational doings. The bank had just
managed to bold its own for the day
by the method of taking an unpre
cedentedly long time over doing every
thing. When the hour for closing
came there were certainly over 2(H) ex
cited clients of the bank waiting their
turn to withdraw tneir money, and
these people camped in the street for
the night, making all kinds of treats,
and vowing all kinds of vengeance
against everybody connected with the
bank if they should not be paid
promptly the next morning. The offi
cers and employes of the bank stayed
inside and did not venture out.
About 4 o'clock in the morning an
extraordinary thing occurred. A posse
of men rode into Crescent ville, well
armed and wearing masks. They
rode straight to the bank, were ad
mitted after a short parley, and did
not come out again.
But at nine in the morning the bank
opened its doors, and tlie run began
anew with great desperation. De
positor after depositor was paid off un
til scarcely any were left, and the peo
ple stood around and talked about it.
There seemed to be no end to the
bank's resources, and at last a large
and influential customer exclaimed—
"The bank is all right and we are
a pack of fools. I am going to de
posit my cash again!"
There was a murmur of approval,
and then everybody began to laugh.
Right after the influential man fol
lowed a long line of people desiring
to re-deposit tlie money they had only
just withdrawn. Such a day of busi
ness the Crescent ville lmnk never had
before, and it is not at all likely ever
to have again. An enthusiastic meet
ing was held at tlie Masonic hall that
evening, at which it was unanimous
ly resolved to nominate Nelson Gra
ham as next mayor of Crescentville.
In the meantime, the B. It. & C. S.
R. R. people were still hunting for
fast freight Number Forty-Six. They
hunted for it in the train yard in and
about St. Louis. Single cars had been
lost in those yards in great profusion
and never found again, but when a
whole train could get lost like this It
was evident tluit there must be care
lessness somewhere. During the
search a reporter discovered engine
Number Forty-Seven in a neglect-£
looking roundhouse and promptly
wired the news to Chicago where the
information was considered as quite
important, although in what exact re
lation 110 official could say. It was
quite possible, Number Forty-Seven
having been found, that Number
Forty-Six might not be far off. unless
it had accidentally plunged into the
Mississippi, or strayed to Kansas City
by means of a misplaced switch.
Dimkins of Dalabeke had accepted
the explanation that the train could
not have left St. Louis, and that
Tompkins and others must have been
mistaken. On the second night after
the train was lost, Dimkins was quiet
ly playing his usual game of checkers
in the depot with a friend. Dimkins
was in a terrible position where one
wrong move would lose him the game,
and lie was intently studying the ab
sorbing problem, when his friend
said—
"What's that?"
Dimkins paused on the brink of de
struction and looked up aghast. He
put his hand to his ear and—there
was no doubt about it—he heard the
slow puffing of an engine coining to
ward Dalabeke. Dimkins says he
shall never forget the sensation.
"It's Forty-Six's schedule," said
Dimkins, deliberately, "but it ain't
Forty-Six." Therefore, speaking very
slowly, "therefore, it must be Forty-
Six's Ghost!"
Even as lie spoke, the puffing of the
engine grew nearer and nearer, and
slower and slower, until at last it
ceased entirely.
"She's gone!" whispered Dimkins in
horror-stricken tones. •
Then the sound of a yell came from
somewhere.
Dimkins got lip and crept carefully
along to the window, while his friend
watched intently, as though he expect
ed the ghost of fast freight Number
Forty-Six to jump suddenly through
the window at any moment. Then—
"Ilallo!" said Dimkins. "Come here.
Tom!"
"What fur?" demanded Tom, very
doubtfully.
"It's Forty-Six!" said Dimkins.
"Her light's a-burnln'!"
"Oh! her light's a-luirnin'!" repeats
Tom, dogged and immovable.
But out flew Dimkins, racing at top
speed down the track toward the
train. When he reached it there was
no engineer, stoker, brakesman, nor
any kind of living soul to be seen. But
there was a fearful racket going on
in the third box car.
"What's the matter there?" shouted
Dimkins, from what he considered a
safe distance.
"Break open the car and let lis out!"
responded a number of voices. "Get
a rail and knock the—lock off!"
"It's us!" shouted another voice,
which Dimkins recognized at once as
the voice of Rodney Graham, stoker.
So Dimkins followed directions, got
a rail, broke the box car, and found
the entire train crew laying on the
floor of the car, bound hand and foot.
Whether it was sheer bewilderment
that caused it, or whether the subtle
and pervasive odor of the box ear was
responsible, Dimkins says he doesn't
know, but he says that altogether he
felt so dazed that he hadn't the slight
est recollection the next morning of
the explanations that were hurled at
liim by the imprisoned men as to the
cause of their extraordinary condi
tion.
Fast freight Number Forty-Six
puffed out of Dalabeke station en
route to Chicago shortly afterwards,
and was respectfully signalled, and
notified, and switched, and o. k.'d
through by operators. The train dis
patcher, thinking he must have made
a mistake, altered his schedule and
said nothing.
The next morning the Federal Ex
press company received their $50,000,
and they said nothing.
But a day or two afterwards the
general manager of the B. R. & C. S.
R. It. fished a memorandum out of
some forsaken pigeon-hole and said—
"By the way, what has become of
this freight Number Forty-Six?"
The clerk looked lip the records
and found that It was at St Louis.
"Where ought it to be?" demanded
the general manager.
The clerk looked up more records and
reported that St Louis was where
freight Number Forty-Six ought to
be. So the general manager tore up
his memorandum.
Critical persons may talk about the
train's way bill and other railroad
red tape that is supposed to keep track
of trains present or missing. In re
gard to this we have nothing to sug
gest, except that if one studies the
records of some politicians there will
appear many a hiatus irregularly
filled in. We look askance, like good
Samaritans, and pass by on the other
side.
Dimkins sat in the depot, playing
checkers with his friend, one night,
when fast freight Number Forty-Six
came thundering by.
Said Dimkins— •
"That's no ghost!"
Said Tom—
"Queer go, that!"
"You may say that!" responded
Dimkins.
"I've heard of ghosts' walks in my
time," continued Tom. "but, you know,
that was the first time I ever saw
one."
"Ah!" murmured Dimkins. resting
his finger on a checker.
"Right over behind the pond in Eli
jah Baker's wood," said Tom. "west
of the tracks, old Walker keeps a
shooting box, and there's a lot of
rails there and a switch."
Dimkins nodded inquiringly.
"The mark of them rails is on the
grass yit!" concluded Tom. "Oli, it's
rank!"
"So it Is!" assented Dimklnr- "1

Nature classes that meet In the open

talks upon how the insects hear,

ITntiflunl Field for a Woman.
Miss Caroline Van Brunt, secretary
of a large copper company, is also one
of tlie directors and corporators of the
company, and is said to know more
about copper, nickel, the general
mining of ores, the source of supply,
production, consumption, tariff, state
of trade etc., than any other woman
in this country, and probably more
than many men who claim to be ex
perts on the subject. Miss Van Brunt
has studied the problem of rendering
copper fumes Innocuous, and it was
largely through her presentation of
the subject to Congress that to those
establishments requiring it. was given
an opportunity to experiment further
with patent smoke consumers and
odor contractors.
Women of Atlanta.
A large body of the women of Atlan
ta, Gn., attended a mass meeting re
cently in the rooms of the Atlanta
Woman's club for the purpose of or
ganizing a Business Woman's league,
which promises to be the greatest and
most Important organization in that
city. The promoters are a number of
Hie leading and professional women of
Atlanta, who realize tlint the increas
ing numb rs of women who work
make such an organization necessary.
The immediate objects of the Atlan- !

cure a rest room and restaurant, a
gymnasium and eventually a club
house where _ working women may
have access to all the comforts of
women of leisure and a chance for
self-culture through lectures, music,
etc. The organization will include
those who, having been in business,
are in sympathy with the needs and
aims of those who are now self-sup
porting.
I-ooKi* Sleevog Acilin,
The tight sleeve has had but a brief
existence in its last revival. All ru
mors hint that larger sleeves are on
the way, and already there is n dis
tinct fulness at the shoulder. The
elbow sleeves Hare more and more
and are in many eases slashed al
most to the shoulder on the outer
side, over a full soft undersleeve.
The loose dust cloaks with their volu
minous sleeves have prepared the way
for larger coat sleeves, which will be
seen on the fall and winter conts.
Panne velvet is the milliner's de
cree to be the most popular material
for autumn and winter hats; and
French makers are showing wonder
fully beautiful velvet flowers, as n
hint of what is to lie expected later.
A model hat is of panne velvet in
Jacqueminot color, trimmed with Re
naissance lace and a mass of velvet
roses, shading from darkest Jacque
minot to Im France pink.
Necktie clasps are very much In
evidence on the Inll street costumes.
The fashionable Jravat which appears
upon nt least t'.ree out of every five
of these gowns and is most frequently
of black velvet or soft black sntin, Is
much more effective when drawn
through such a clasp, than when tied,
and the touch of gold harmonizes with
the gold buttons and brnld which are
tolerably sure to lurk somewhere
about the gown. Flat and heavy
dead gold, dull silver or gun metal
rings are perhaps the most knowing
of these clasps; hut the jewelers, in
response to the demand, are now
bringing them out in jewelled de
signs, and in the antique gold work
that Is a present fad. The latter are
good in style and a single cnbulehon
gem set deeply in the gold and agree
ing with the color scheme of the gown
adds to the effect, but the heavy jew
eled clasps are a trifle too pronounced
and rob the cravat of distinction.
The U.e of Vrnicrnt Salt..
Women of today are not as liable
to faint as their grandmothers were,
because they dress more sensibly and
do not wear as tight dresses or as
tight shoes and gloves, but it is a
wise and sensible precaution to keep
fragrant salts 011 hand. Any salt
loses Its strength in a short time. The 1
simple lavender salts are the most de- !
sirnble of all perfumed salts. These
are easily prepared at home. While
you are preparing a portion of these
salts It is as easy to make several !
bottles or vinaigrettes as one, and tlie
cost is small. Procure half a dozen
small, clear glass bottles, with close
cut glass stoppers if you wish. A
pretty stopper costs very little pur
chased with the bottles by the half
dozen, and adds considerable to the
value of the vinaigrette as a gift It
is desirable that a vinaigrette lie
small, so it may he easily enrried in
the pocket. Vinaigrettes are often
vary elaborate, decorated with silver, j
gold and evon precious stones, but ft
tiny bottle of clear glass with a pretty
•topper is always in good taste and as
useful as a more ornate one. To pre
pare the salt, procure from a trust
worthy druggist half a pound of car
bonate of ammonia and an ounce and
a half of the best oil of lavender.
Crush the two together in a mortar,
or in any dish that will mix them.
Set the mixture in a large howl, which
should be put In a pan of warm water,
covered and set in a moderate oven
lor about an hour. Stir the mixture
several times while it is heating. It
is not necessary for the ammonia to
be crushed line. If it is in broken
lumps it lasts longer. Do not get in
the foolish habit of using a vinai
grette continually. Cases of obstinate
deafness have been ascribed to this
case. The salts are also said to have
an injurious effect on the vocal cords
as well as on the auditory nerve*
when used continually. Even the
odor of flowers, notably the odor of
violets, has been known to cause a
singer temporarily to lose her voice.
Hemming Stylet* of Coiffure.
We are abandoning the pompadour,
says a Paris correspondent, and for a
truly enchanting fashion—the curl in
the middle of the forehead. The hair
is curled right up in one twist from
the center of the forehead in this new
style, wee teiulrills playing lightly up
on the temples. The hair at the side*
is carried to the back of the head,
leaving only the tiniest possible puff*
011 caeh side of the face. On the
crown of the head the hair is slightly
parted 011 one side—merely a sugges
tion of a parting, not a hard line. The
coil at the back is worn much lower
than heretofore. Coiling it up. how
ever, suits so many faces that thi*
fashion will probably not be univer
sally adopted.
Another style of coiffure consist*
in parting tlie hair in the center and
waving it in large undulations, which
lend themselves to the slightly puffed
sides and upright loops 011 the top.
and which proclaim their emanation
from the empire period. A very
light, fine curl on either side soften*
the outline of the forehead. It should
be noted that extreme smoothness*
and a glossy look are essentials; n>
fuzzy or fluffy appearance is to be
tolerated. A long comb should adorn
the base of the structure; for the day
time it is of plain tortoiseshell, but for
full dress an adornment of jewels i*
permitted. Small side combs set out
the side puffs, which, however, should
not be exaggerated. As for the ondu
lee, 01* waving, it is now an Atlantic
billow compared with the little lake
ripples It used to be.
We are promised a return of the em
pire curl. To many women it is emi
nently becoming, and as to those of
us whom it does not suit, we may ig
nore the curl when it conies, if come
it does. An especial coiffure has been
designed for those no longer In the
first bloom of youth. After being
waved, the hair is combed back and
arranged In coils at the crown of the
head, not quite 011 the top.
A very becoming way for a girl to
arrange her hair is to pull a ribbon
through a small diamond buckle, and
to tie it round the coil, so that it just
stands up a little wee bit above the
fringe. The ribbon should either bo
white or t<f match the dress.—New
York Commercial Advertiser.
Two Types of Girl A.
There lire two distinct types of
girls recognized just now, the girl
who is pretty and the girl who is
stylish. Of course there are types of
the intellectual and the stucfious, hut
when they are these they cease to be
called girls, and are given the more
dignitied title of women, so the girls
may readily he confined within the
limits of the two types tlrst mentioned.
The girl who is pretty seems to have
an invincible weapon In her hands.
She is taught from her Infancy that
she Is favored above all other girls,
and, alas, by the law of nature's com
pensation, she generally grows up
without an idea in her fluffy pate, be
yond the best pose for that same pate,
and the best becoming piece of mil
linery with which to adorn it.
The stylish girl is the one whose
clothes seem made for her alone. She
will take the commonplace hat of her
pretty sister and placing it on her
modish head give it a pat or two
which will transform It until her neigh
