over the fingers.
To prevent elevator cages from doing
damage when the cable breaks the bottom
of the well is extended below the lowest
floor and has a number of bars arranged
around it bo extend into the path of the
car, being held there by springs, to spread

of the fall.
A new toy is formed of a tube, with one
end bent at right angles, and provided
with a cone-shaped spring which holds a
ball in place on the end of the tube, a

The Russian Ambassador’s Home Will Be
the Center of Gaiety.
From, a Washington Letter.
Count de Cassini, the Russian ambassa-
dor to this country, needs no assistant in
the arts of statecraft, but in the social
phases of his arduous mission he counts
very much on the help of his charming
young niece and adopted daughter, Miss
Marguerite de Cassini.
Under the regime of this gifted young
woman the Russian embassy for the first
time in many years will take an active
part in the gayetles and socialties of the
season. Under the management of this
same gentle mistress the house of repre-
sentatives of the most autocratic govern-
ment of the world has become the most
democratic of all the foreign domiciles and
the most popular of all the scenes of en-
tertainment. "She is at home t-o all callers,
and affable, gracious and satisfactory,
whether her visitor be of the highest so-
cial order or some: suppliant seeking aid
from generous purse or kindly nature. Un-
der this regime It is whispered that Count
Cassini is planning to astonish Washing-
ton society with the brilliancy of his ex-
ploits. His fair niece has the richest furs,
the most magnificent jewels and the most
costly variety of Parisian gowns that any
Washington belle can boast.
The embassy is a home of eastern mag-
nificence. Massive bronzes brought from
St. Petersburg adorn the main hall and
the richest silken draperies from the
Orient c-over the walls. In the great
drawing room a priceless carpet, the fac
simile of the rug which once felt the tread
of Marie Antoinette’s feet at Versailles,
ia but one of the many treasures which
greets the eye. A picture of the czar and
czarina attracts attention. “Neither pic-
ture is a worthy likeness of our ruler and
his worthy wife,” said Mlle. Cassini apolo-
getically to her visitors at her last recep-
tion. “I intend to paint another myself
and to remove these.” A bower of ferns
and palms is another feature of thg main
drawing room. Here and there littte rus-
tic seats are placed, with great twining
waves oftup&le ; green silk covering them
and trailing :on<4he floor like a garland.
Amid<sUbh a scene and with sueh a dainty
ally as his little niece Comte Cassini is
planning to take.the heart of Washington
by storm. No one who knows Mlle. Mar-
guerite can doubt that the siege will be
successful. Nor will it be the first time in
history that a fair and gentle woman has
accomplished more for her country, by the
influence of her own sweet personality,
than hordes of statesmen and warriors
could obtain by their wilds and prowess.
Those who are watching events say Eng-
land must look to her laurels or they will
be taken from her brow by the dainty lit-
tle Russian girl, who already has made a
warm place for herself in the hearts of
Washingtonians.

At 3 o’clock this afternoon Judge Stew-
art began a habeas corpus hearing in the
case of Alice Bell against C. E. Edwards
and wife. From the facts set forth in
the different petitions it is learned that
Alice Belle last January gave her child,
Lillie May Freeman, aged 6 years, to her
sister, Mrs. C. E. Edwards, to adopt.
There was a written agreement between
the parties to that effect. About a month
ago Mrs. Bell made a demand for the
child, which was refused, and then she
had Mrs. Edwards and her husband ar-
rested for kidnaping. The case was tried
yesterday before Judge Barry and the de-
fendants discharged. She then sued out
the writ of habeas corpus before Judge
Stewart which is on trial now. Johnson
& Johnson are attorneys for Edwards and
his wife.
THE OLD KEMABLE

Boy Clinging to the Shaft and Horse Run-
ning Away.
Julius Kahn, the 10 year old son of Mose
Kahn, a furniture dealer whose place of
business is on Postoffice street near 21st,
had a narrow escape from death at 3
o'clock this afternoon. Mr. Kahn’s furni-
ture van was standing in front of his busi-
ness place when the horse started to run
■away. Little Julius, who was on the
wagon, tried to check the horse and fell
forward. He caught on the left shaft and
hung on with desperation. The horse ran
through Center street toward the bay with
the lines dangling by its side and the big
van rattling and rumbling and frightening
the horse more every stride he took.
The boy had only a light hold on the
shaft and it looked once or twice as if he
was going to let go. Had he done so
he would have dropped directly under the
left wheel of the van and would have had
the life crushed out of him.
Policeman Henry Bee headed the horse
just north of Market street and turned the
animal toward the sidewalk. Then he
got hold of the bit and brought the horse
to a standstill. A moment later the boy
dropped from the shaft, safe and sound,
but with his hand cramped and sore from
the desperate hold he had.

CONSIGNED PIANOS.
These are instruments which manufac-
turers can not sell to representative deal-
ers. As a general thing this class of
Pianos are sent broadcast on sale to any
agent or dealer who will pay freight on
them. They are shipped from town to
town, first put in one house and then
another, sometimes reshipped to factories
for repolishing and shipped out again to
other sections of the country. Agents and
dealers who carry these instruments rep-
resent them as worth $500, and even over,
but they reluctantly (?) sell them at all
prices down to $150, and the most of them
are dear at that price.
Buy Pianos from responsible, first class
houses and you run no risk.

The Progressive Resolution Dinners Are
Great Fun.
Chicago Times-Herald.
A progressive resolution dinner is a jolly
way to entertain on New Year’s day.
There are 12 months in the year. There
should be 12 courses' at the progressive
resolution dinner. The people partaking
of it should be either 12 or 24 in number.
For each person, man or woman, should
be prepared one or more New Year’s
resolutions, humorous or serious as liked,
the only caution to be unfailingly ob-
served being that nothing caustic or un-
kind should be allowed. These white
cards, decorated as fancied, and laid
around at the various plates. Similar
resolutions should await the guests, mas-
culine and feminine, in the dressing rooms.
As more amusement and fun will result
from a careful fitting of the resolutions to
the people for whom they are intended,
some member or friend of the family
should remain in each dressing room to
see that they are properly distributed
according to the names written upon the
backs, and that no person reads the in-
scription on any card save hisi or her own.
Before going in to dinner the women
are instructed to remain seated all
through the meal, but the gentlemen ob-
serve the “progressive” portion of the
function by moving one chair to the left
after every course. The resolution cards,
which are already on the table, and so
arranged as to be impersonal and capable
of a general application, are left by the
plates; the cards given out in the dress-
ing rooms, on the contrary, are kept
pinned to the coat lapel or front of the
gown, half-hidden by the boutoniere or
bunch of flowers. In the reading over and
discussing of the cards on the table food
for much humorous and clever talk and
repartee will usually be found.
Each guest should be previously in-
structed that only the subject matter of
the table cards may be discussed. In the
effort to maintain such a conversational
attitude, and in the unconscious and fre-
quent slipping away from it which will
occur inevitbaly and continually, much
more fun and enjoyment will be discov-
ered. The forfeit penalty for neglecting
the given subject for chatter or for wan-
dering into forbidden conversational paths
should be the reading aloud, several times
over, of the matter written on the card,
tt is more fun if this matter is shaped
into verse or jokelet form or is well given.
Before the first course is served the
hostess should read the resolution beside
her plate aloud for the benefit of her
guests. When the time for the next course
comes the man making the first move or
progression does likewise with the card
found at, his plate. Some time during the
serving of each course the Woman nearest
the hostess reads her card; by the time
, the coffee is on the table all the resolu-
tions have been therefore read. Each mas-
culine guest present is then requested to
make an impromptu speech or respond to
a toast consisting of the particular reso-
lution with which he started out. Later
in the drawing room, or while still at the
table if better liked, the women are com-
pelled under pain of forfeit to do like-
wise.
Back in the drawing room the cards
given in the dressing room are brought to
light, the host or hostess leads off, and
“New Year’s sermons,” impromptu, of
course, since no guest knew of the subject
on his card until he arrived and no time
has been allowed for preparation, are suc-
cessively delivered. The guest who wishes
to give a song, a story or even a dance
which bears upon the subject matter of
his resolution is at liberty to do so. But
the said resolution must be connected in
some palatable way with every effort at
entertainment.
The subjects for these resolutions are
unending and must be chosen, of course,
with the tastes, weaknesses, fads and. so
on of the people who are to profit by them
In mind. But a few suggestions as to the
manner of selecting and arranging may
not come amiss. At the dinner of this or-
der which was first, planned topics and
treatments like the following were the
rule:
A young college fellow who delighted
equally in amateur photography and foot
ball found this little sentence awaiting
him in the dressing room:
“Resolved, That for this coming year I
will neither indulge in under-developed
portraits of my victimized friends nor in
overi-developed muscles in my own limbs.”
. A' young girl, who was a sweet singer
and whose pure soprano flights had
brought her much social fame and glory,
but YirhO' was always in a violent hurry,
was offered a resolution to the effect that
“Higher and higher my voice shall climb,
But in future I’ll pay more attention to
■time.”
The resolutions found in the dressing
rooms were of a more personal character,
as well as more carefully framed.
“Thou art my friend, O night of sleep; no
more will I neglect thee!"
This to a young woman famed for her
late hours and over-taxed physical
strength.
“The midnight gas I will not burn;
Electric lights will serve my turn,”
was given to a young man at whose bach-
elor party the electric lights had been
suddenly turned off at midnight, leaving
the circle of friends in the dark. Later in
the evening a basket or box of “misfit
resolutions”—good resolutions abstracted-
ly prepared—might be brought in and dis-
tributed with telling effect.

The Baron de Guichainville Is Too Poor
to Buy Food.
New York Journal.
Leon Le Metayer-Masselin,
Guichainville, is poor. He has no money
for his rent, no money for his hunger, no
money for his illness. He lives on the
first floor of a double apartment house.
He does not eat.every day, and he cures
his ills by excess of worry. He has a
daughter 43 years of age, who is blind; a
daughter of 34 years of age who can never
rest from her work; a son 30 years of age
who has a cataract in one eye and sees
with the other only objects set close
against it.
The Baron de Guichainville is 67 years
of age. He is an archaeologist, a geol-
ogist, a bibliophist, a numismatist. He is
an American citizen, naturalized in Aug-
ust. He has made valuable discoveries of
antique things in France, his native coun-
try; he is an honorary member of several
learned societies; the duke of Veragua of-
fered to him once the cross of the Order
of Isabella the Catholic; his autograph is
quoted in the catalogues; his biography is
in “Le Biographe” in three octavo pages.
And yet he and his family are ill of in-
anition.
He came to America 18 years ago be-
cause political affaits in France displeased
him. The Bourbons had no chance, the
Orleanists had no chance. “If I have to
live in a republic,” he said to his friends,
“I will live in the United States.” He sold
his cabinet of 3000 Roman medals, his
library of 5000 nooks and came here. Can-
ada captured him. He edited in Montreal
a newspaper that swallowed a half of his
fortune, he squandered the other half in
mines. Then he returned to New York to
be a teacher of French.
H? had an autograph of Christopher
Columbus that was worth, he thought,
$5000. He supposed that Harrisse’s au-
thority supported his treasure. He bor-
rowed $28 from the cure of Saint Vincent
de Paul and gave the autograph as secur-
ity. Harrisse wrote in one of his pro-
found bibliographical essays, published in
London, that the autograph was a forgery
of the 16th century. The Baron de Guich-
ainville is extremely poor; but it is not
the loss of value of his autograph that
troubles him excessively. It is the thought
that he may have been deceived. He can
not believe that. He wants to prove that
his treasure is authentic, but he has no
money to redeem it and in In danger of
starving instead.

THEY HAVE TAKEN TO BOXING.
Punching Bags Were Acceptable Gifts to
Boston Women.
New York Sun.
Boston.—“The idea of giving your wife a
punching bag for a Christmas present,’’
said a dealer in athletic goods, “may
seem at first sight a trifle unwise; yet it
is none the less a fact that there is in Bos-
ton a great demand for these bags,, not
only among what you might call gymna-
sium women, but also among those who
do not take systematic exercise. Boston
women are not all running to brains evi-
dently. They must like to spar or they
wouldn’t do it. Whether the male part of
the Boston population is pleased or not is
another matter; and it isn’t to be pre-
sumed that the men like the prospects of
general sparring with the bag among the
so-called gentler sex, simply because they
are prevailed upon to purchase the equip-
ments, for when Boston women want any-
thing they get it. All men know that.”
Looking at the practice of bag-pnehing
from a merely physical or sportswoman-
like point of view, tho exercise is indis-
putably excellent. For the ordinary
woman the punching bag is necessarily
too hard; accordingly, women use boxing-
gloves of the horsehair description. The
boxing movements strengthen the back,
waist, arms, shoulders -and neck, and
broaden and build up the chest. The exer-
cise is recommended to be taken imme-
diately on getting up in the morning, just
before the bath, say. Of course, care
must be taken not to overdo it. The work
must be followed out more in science than
in anger, or serious strains are liable to
result. The most approved styles of
punching bags, too, fly back, and are apt
to hit hard.
The question of women sparring is a del-
icate matter, which each man must settle
for himself. There are times, of. course,
when a woman must either strike or speak
out, and if the punching bag only turns
-n’A i the current in its direction it may prove
s^sanarilla, a, boon civilizations
