substantial support, is the farm school
for boys about to be established on
former President Cléveland’s farm,
three miles from Princeton, N. J. The
school, which is really still in the em-
bryonic stage, has already received
undue and immature publicity, owing
to the mention of Mr. Cleveland’s name
in connection with it, and it has even
been exploited by the yellow journals,
in their usual ,sensational manner, as
the “Grover Cleveland Farm School.”

It is necessary to mention this at
the beginning in order that a clear un-
derstanding of the aims and scope of
the institution may be gained. There
is no intention on the part of those
directly interested in it to name the
school after Mr. Cleveland. That
would be distasteful to him,“and, inas-
much as he is the first and greatest
benefactor, his wishes will be respect-
ed.

EX-PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.

Nor is the school designed as a home
for the surplus juvenile population of
the city slums. It aims to take boyS.
not indiscriminately, but after careful
inquiry as to their circumstances, and
make useful and self-respecting men
of them. It aims to educate them who
class book and trade. It aims through

‘the medium of a healthy country life,

to foster ambitions which another and
more restricted atmosphere might
stifle.

In short, this novel institution aims
to Imake‘good‘men of boys who already
have a desire to be good men, but who
are "lacking. in opportunity, and some-

times in incentive. The boy who mere-

ly wants a home, and displays no ful-
ther intereSt in his future, will net be
tolerated.

The originator of this movement is
a young man, who knows of his own
experience the struggles and heart-
burnings of the ambitious boy who
wants to make something of himself.
The great passionof his life is a con-
For
years he has schemed and planned and
racked his brain to find tlie best means
of going about the WQI‘I‘H' on a solid
basis. And at last, through the gen-
erosity of ‘Mr.’ Cleveland and several
other philanthropic gentlemen, he sees
daylight ahead.

This young man is John Henry
Vroom. His early boyhood was spent
in Camden, N. J. At the tender age
of thirteen he was obliged to leave
school and found employment as a

 

. JOHN HENRY vaoou. —
cash boy in one of Philadelphia's big

department stores. The knowledge
that he was earning his own living, or
at least contributing to his own sup
port, did not altogether take. away the
sting born of the knowledge that his
studies must be neglected.

He was a studious little chap, and
soon became known as “the boy with
the book,” on street cars, in the ter-
ryboats plying between Philadelphia
and his home in Camden.

Often'WOuld the little cash boy gaze.
bitten‘y at the fashionable women in
silks and satins and think how much
they could do for a boy who was eager
to educate himself, if they only would.
He told himself then that if when he
grew to be a man he was in a position
to do so he woud dev‘bte his life to
just such boys as he figured himself
out to be.

And now the ambition of the little
cash boy is about to 7be realized. All
that is needed to insure its complete
fulfillment is the aid of a few more
men like Mr. Cleveland, who has not
only placed his farm at the disposal
of Mr. Vroom, but who has already
spent the sum of $2.000 upon it in the

.way of improvements

and to give the men at liberty day on
shore. To meet these and other ex-
penses it was necessary to have some
eight thousand pounds (men are paid

and Paymaster Clark drew sight drafts
on the sub-treasury of ,New York
through the government agents, J. S.
pMorgan & Co., bankers, in old Broad
street, London.

Accompanied by the vice consul he
went to the Plymouth branch of the
Bank of England, and presenting his
drafts, asked to have them changed

not content with exercising 1")rope-{II com-
mercial scrutiny, was very nasty, and
finally said:

“Well, I do not know the sub- treas-
ury, I do not know the paper nor you,
and I have never had business 7with the
gentleman who is United States vice
consul here, so I won't cash your
drafts. You say J. S. Morgan will in-
dorse them. You had better go up to
London and let ’him cash them."

Mr. Clark went out to the telegraph
office, put himself in communication
with Mr. Morgan, and Mr. Morgan
went to the Bank of England in Lon-
don, the manager sent word to the
”Plymouth branch 'rnanager, and that
gentleman came personally to the
Royal hotel and, with his hat in his

7 hand, begged to be of service to Pay-

master Clark in any way that gentle-
man would suggest. The apparently
placated paymaster, accompanied by
his clerk, accompanied the bank officer
to the bank. The dusts were duly pas-
sed over and a. large bundle of Bank
of England notes placed before the
paymaster.

“What are thése?” asked Clark.

“Those are Bank of England notes."

“Yes, I see they are notes signed by
Frederick May that the bank will pay
bearer, etc. Well, I do not know Mr.
May, and, of course, I do not know you.
This paper may be good, but I have no
assurance of that I’ll trouble you for

- the gold."

The humiliated bank manager had to
hdnt it up, and Paymaster Clark car-
ried it down to the boat in triumph.

“I; would have preferred part .of the
money in notes," he said, “but I could
not refuse the chance of getting even."

CAN 17'7HE QIUEEN ABDICATE.
Not Considered \\ ice on Account of Her
Foreign Subjects.

There are, not only pecuniary and
constitutional difliculties in the way
of abdication. The Queen, however,
is net only Queen of Great Britain and
Ireland, she is also Empress of India,
reigning sovereign over more Moslems
than the Grand Turk, and of more
Africans and Asiatics than any other‘
civilized monarch. Abdication would
be misunderstood by most, misrepre-
sented by some, and resented by all
of them. Death they know; a living
ruler they understand. What is abdi-
cation to the border tribes of the Hin-
'doo—Koosh, to the lake-dwellers of
Uganda, or the fierce tribesmen of the
Soudan? From an imperial standpoint
a scepter dropped from the hand of
the Great White Queen can be borne
aloft in her lifetime by no successor..

In many parts of the world the Brit-
ish raj is personified in the little lady
who, Sixty years ago, said to those who-
told her that she was a Queen, “I will
be good.” In some parts of India she
is actually worshipped as a. goddess.
In her lifetime the native races of the
empire will either look to the Queen
as their ruler, or they will assume that
something has happened that saps and
neutralizes British power. These im-
perial considerations as to the effect
on Asiatics and Africans were also in
the minds of the Ministers when they
unanimously refused to advise the
Queen to rest from the crushing bur-
den of the crowns—Harper’s Magazine.

 

HONEST BOOK BORROWERS.

 

 

SanFranciscoI Has a \Vonderi’ul ' Public

Library Record.

After several experiments the man-
agers of the public library in San
Francisco believe that the book read-
ing public can be trusted. and they
have, widely extended library privi-
leges. Ten thousand volumes of the
most popular works of all classes, in-
tended for general circulation, have
been opened to the unrestricted access
of the’pubiic. The books may be
taken from the shelves to the reading
tables or may be taken home, the pa-
trons being trusted I-to get their books

experiments were interesting.

Two and a half years ago 5,000 juve-
nile books were segregated and the
children were allowed to make selec-
tions direct from the shelves. In 21
months, With? a circulation 7of 118,000
juveniles, only thirty-six volumes Were
lost. Then the 2,000 volumes in :the
five branches were opened to shilf
access, and there were no books re-
ported missing. The Shelves in the re-
ference and 'periodlcal rooms were
opened to library readers, and then as
an experiment 500 books for general
circulation u ere placed in The. Ion-1-
ence room, Where they ‘could be looked
over, and none disappeared Last
year 571,500 volumes were circulatéd.
and only thirty- one were lost from all

closes near the waist with link buttons
of turquoise cabochons, and a stock tie
of soft turquoise lends a touch of color
at the neck. The newest alpacas are

 

not to be despised, and are becoming
much employed for between-seasons
dresses. That of a bud tone, very like
tussore, is popular, and so is the smoke
blue and pale green shot with white.

But to return for a moment to the
fad for fiounces. It is sincerely to be
hoped that it will abate somewhat be-
fore winter really sets in, or else we
may look forward to being dragged
down under a great weight of flounces
long before Christmas time. Common
sense will surely prevail, and women
will not consent to groan under the
burden of flounced cloth as well as
flounced fur. The- latter we are sure
to wear, for furriers say that the deep-
ly fiounced capes in seal or sable are
to be more used than any other style.
These are both graceful and charming,
but if skirts are not left plain, the
weight of winter clothing will be more
than the average woman can stand.

Princess gowns are much in evi-
deuce, and then again they are not,
for they are so modified
ways, and decorated in styles so novel.
as to be scarcely recognizable

Some of the new princess gowns are,

 

fastened from the neck to the hem
with small round silver or gold but-
tons.

Parisians have revived'the fashion
of wearing coats of a different color
from,the skirt. There is a decided
suggestion of the picturesque about
the second model, and it is easy to
realize the charm of the narrow.
sweeping triple skirt of dark blue
cloth, with lls elongated coat of fawn
cloth cut away from the front and
sloping toward the back. The only-
trimming employed on skirt or coat is
a doublc machine stitching. Attention
to such trifles as. the lace cravat at the

 

neck will bestow upon even this cos-
tume added superiolity.

Silk, satin and lace coats are not
new, but they gain 'in popularity as

' the season advances and are constantly

being modified and made more beau-
tiful. Those of lace are. worn with
skirts of every description, from the
thinnest of silk mousseline de sole to
,the thickest wool stuff. All sorts of.

lace are used, but with the wool Skirts

Too much blood in the brain will
cause a splitting headache, which is

or gout. The sufferer is also often
afflicted by palpitatlon and indigestion,
and needs to be most careful of the

than once a day. Great relief will be
found by sitting with the feet in mus-
tard and water for a quarter of an
hour.

A neuralgic headache is most fre-

' quentiy felt across the forehead, and

sometimes at the back of the head,
and generally arises from cold caught

on that side of theIface.‘ If the pain

and Nos. 3 and l‘far eachsh‘ouldor—

 

these also to be placedu'pright like the

fashionable bows, wire ribbon is sewn

may be used to match the gown if pre-
ferred), and the other half folded over
it and the two halves stitched together.
The loops and ends are then bent, as
shown in the sketch.

 

7*“ A GoodPhotogI-aph. .
A photographer advised a young man.
sitting for his picture, who‘consulted
him as to the suitable dress, not to
wear a striped ark-spotted tie, one of
plain dark color being preferable. A
decided pattern becomes very monotone
ous in a picture. A collar that Was a.
becoming style was also recommended,
and a 'coat that fitted well, without so
much regard to its newness. A further
caution was to go into the studio at a
moment ofIthe day when onefelt the
best physically. “A young man came
in here the other day,” said the same
photographer, "and sat for his picture.
Three or four proofs afterwards submit-
ted to him he, rejected, because,_Ias he
explained, they looked to him just as he
felt at the time of sitting—awfully
hungry. It Seems that he had come to
I, the'studio about two in the afternoon,
givithout having eaten anything since a
"light and early breakfast, and his con-
dition betrayed itself in his expression.
i told him to try again after a satisfy—
ing meal, and it is a fact that the sec.
cud picture scarcely looked like the
same person."

 

 

Silk and Satin Coats.
One of the seaSon’ s Smart specialties
is the black satin jacket They are
made precisely like other jackets and

and gros grain is also extensively em-
. played for these garments this year.

A very stylish model or black taflfeta
is made quite long, reaching well be-
lbw the hips, and is belted in at the
