How a Practical Joker Turned the Tables _ on a Bevy of Pretty Girls. A San Francisco gentle-man came to this 'city a short time since, and with his wife quartered at a fashionable boarding house. They were every jolly couple, and soon made friends with all ‘the inmates, among whom were a. num- ber of young ladies. The gentleman was, as one of the young ladies said, “an awful tease,” and took great delight in the young ladies, telling'the young men that marriage was a. failure and in other ways endeavoring tolkeep them out of the toils of matrimony, and, in” short, keeping up an everlasting “jos‘hjng.” The young ladies determined to get even on him when he went away on the steamer, so all went. down to see-him and his wife off. Now, although he had been married, to his second wife some. two years, they were a fine-looking couple, and might easily be taken for a- newly-wedd'ed pair. To give all the people on the steamerthe idea. that they were just married and starting out on their bridal tour was the way the young ladies planned to get even. They pro- cured a. lot of rice and poured it in every crevice about the baggage of the couple, and in their pockets and among their wraps, so that rice dropped from ~ them at every step. - . One of the young ladies, who was ac- quainted with-the oflicersof the steam- er, explained the situation to them and secured their aid in carrying- out the plot, and also a. promise that the delu- sion should be kept. up all the way to San Francisco. They then scattered rice about the stateroom of the “bride front, and when the go—ashore gong sounded they just. emptied their vials of rice on the unfortunates and started ashore. . ‘ The man was paralyzed for a moment, but, “catching on,” he said: “Well, if this is a. bridal party it is my duty to kiss all the. ladies,” and he went for them then- and there, and he kissed them right and left, not. hep-hazard, but squarely on the mouth every time. with resounding smacks which could be heard clear up on the wharf. Such an uproar had not been heard at the steam- er dock since the prerailroad days. The last to be saluted 'had escaped half way down the gangway, but the “bridegroom” rushed down after her, nearly knocking overboard “the last man,” who was just coming up, and he kissed her the._hardest of all. “They sailed away with the fair young bride” and the young ladies returned to their boarding house and have ever since been trying to decide who the joke was on.—Portlnnd Oregonian. . U P-TO-DATE TEA GOWNS. The Two Essentials Are Pretty Colorlngs and Materials Which Drape Softly. In no gown does a wo‘innn appeal so strongly to a man as in a. wrapper. There is an air of homerness, of for-us- alone, which appeals to him'whenlever he sees a. wrapper-gownxed woman... Knowing this, women regret that etiquette does not allow the. donning of wrappers outside of one’s room. Nor would an arrangement of this sort be feasible, since it is the very exclusive- ness of the wrapper which makes it so a ttractive. A compromise between wrapper and street gown is made, however, in the tea. gown. That garment has the long, clinging lines of the wrapper, the soft- draped sleeves and the flowing train. At the sometime it is tight-fitting about the waist, as demanded by Dame Fash- ion for all gowns in which the weaker sex robes itself for appearance before men. These general lines, set. down above, are followed in all garments of this character. But so varied are the details of each that tea. gowns are as diverse as the flowers of the field and quite as beautiful. A 'front of chiffon, soft silk or net, draped softly, is indispensiblc to all up- to—date tea gowns. A band of shirring or ribbon gathers this front at the waist. - The craze for Louis jackets having affected all female apparel, tea. gowns are made with elongated jackets, which open in broad revere each side the front and spread in the back to a magnificent. train. Sleeves are of several designs, all unique and exceedingly long. The mos- quetnire. sleeve is much favored, while cufl‘s conceal the hand. One charming sleeve was gored and flounces of narrow lace were inserted in the seams. The bot-tom of the sleeves spread out into a. bell, pointed, and edged with lace. This finish, by the way, is much used on all negligee sleeves. ' Persian, or printed warp silk, is the popular ninLt/ezi'ial, if so expensive astuff could ever become popular. In lieu of it a soft challic may be used. This material is now to be scoured in Persian colors and is altogether attractive for the make-up of a tea gown. As a. hint to my sisters whose purses are lean let me say that the beauty of a tea. gown depends not. upon the price of the material used. I haveknown an exceedingly charming affair to be ”made of material that. cost but. 15 cents a yard. All one needs are pretty col- oringis and stuff that drapes softly.— Chicago News. .

NEW YORK, Juno 11.—The 5 trial ‘ of Mary Alice Almont Livingston. called ‘ Mrs. Fleniing, accused oi.L murdering her mother. was resumed before Recorder-God, with Henry H. Bliss, the stepfather of the defendant, in the witness chair. In. ‘his- - directfixamination Mr. Bliss» matte-tilled that the defendant and her mother,"’Mrs. -Bliss. had continually quarreled for 20 years; that-they had a quarrel three days ' before the death of Mrs. Bliss, and that on the day of the funeral of Mrs. Bliss he demanded of his stepdaughter, “Alice, did you poison your mOther?” ' When Mr. Bliss was cross examined by Charles W. Brooke, senior counsel of the defense. he appeared friendly to the defense and said that the quarrels of 20 years’ standing had been only the ordinary differences occurring in families; that the quarrel three days before Mrs. Bliss’ death was Of this usual character, and that when he asked his stepdaughter whether she had poisoned her mother it was simply iii consequence of the accusations already made against her by the police and in the newspapers. ' In his redirect examination Assistant- District Attorney John F. McIntyre treat- ed tb’e witness with little ceremony as an adverse witness- His testimony remained to the import above given. Mrs. Fleming Pleased. Mrs. Fleming laughed as she heard her stepfather testifying in her behalf. She no longer failed to meet her stepfather’s eye. She smiled'at him. She enjoyed ev-, ery word he said. Mr. Bliss’ hearing had improved in as marked a degree as had his memory, at least so thought Mr. McIn- tyre. ' . ‘ “What has restored your memory?” ask- ed Mr. McIntyre sharply as be begun the redirect examination. . “Nothing." “Has anything happened to improve it?’ ’ There was the same answer, to which was added a denial that he had spoken to anybody on the subject of the trial since the adjournment. He denied that he had eyer seen and talked with any one of Mrs. Fleming’s counsel on the subject of the defendant’s guilt or innocence. “I haven’t spoken to Mrs. Fleming, ” rpplied the wit- ness'with some asperity, ‘ since the day she was arrested. ” ‘ NeVer Had Cursed His Stepdaughter. “Did you say. Mr. Bliss. ” asked Mr. McIntyre slowly, “she—Mrs. Fleming— ought to be dead and damned for what she did?” “Never, never in my life. sir,” answer- ed the witness decidedly. “I did say this,” he finally'replledz- “ ‘If you poisoned your mother, you ought to take the same dose yourself.’ ” . - Mr, McIntyre asked him many more questions in relation to things that he, had said. Mr. Bliss either denied saying them or fell back upon his weak memory and didn't remember. Mr. Bliss denied with warmth that he had ever said to a reporter that MrsFleming was crazy, and that he (Mr. Bliss) was not going to be her pro- tector in crime. With this Mr. Bliss was allowad to go. Shot" Dead by His Sister. BROOKLYN, June 11.—-Sophie Kelner, 8 years old, whose parents live at 254 Greene street, Greenpoint, shot and instantly killed her 6-year-old brother John with a flobért rifle at 8 a. m.

She heard a shot and ran into the kitchen, where she found the girl at the window spell- bound. In the yard lay the body of the boy. He was shot in the back under the heart, and death was instantaneous. In police court the girl was discharged on ac- count of her age. The Lilly Explosions J OHNSTOWN.

The different special sales that are going on all at once—Muslin Under— wear, Shirt Waist, Upholstery, Lace Embroidery, Wash Goods and Carpet departments—brings out the bargain lovers in full force. it‘s a good idea, too, because it accommodates a greater number at once; gives them a chance to get- these things before they go aWay for the summer, or on vacation.
