‘ Mamma,” the proud father of the
O'Bottle baby said, “that boy must ha\e
a came.” The equally proud mother of
the baby assented. “And one that can
not be clipped at either end or have ‘ie’
or ‘y‘ taekcd on," continued Mr. O Bottle.
"My name, William, is a pood, honest
founding name, yet I’ve always been
called Bill. Billy, Willy or Will. Now
that boy is going to have a name that
can't be nick-named." In some mys
terious way this memorable conversa
tion was spread abroad, ar.d then the
neighbors took the matter in hand, and
■12 of them sent in slips of pai>er, each
bearing a suitable name for the O Bottle
boy. The Philadelphia Public Ledger
tells what happened after that:
Mrs. O'Bottle read the slips w ith eager
intenst. "Here are two with the same
came," she said, and thrust one of them
into the waste paper basket. "Mrs.
Brown thinks Alfred is nice," she con
tinued.
Mr. O'Bottle threw up his head dis
dainfully. "Known otherwise as Alfie
or Freddy,” he said.
“Mrs. Kewite's choice is Thomas.”
"Tommie before he was knee-high to a
grasshopper!”
"That Tlhbets woman likes Harold."
"And I detest Harry!”
"Here is Benjamin.”
"Ben’s the worst yet.’”
"Andrew is Mrs. Jones’ favorite
name.”
“You might know it would be! Handy
Andy! ‘Andy, have you split the kind
ling-wood?’’’
Mrs. O’Bottle had never known the fa
ther of the baby to be so sarcastic. Sho
went on timidly: “Charles, Bernard,
.■Walter. Arthur, Edward, Cuthbert and
James. Don't you think Cuthbert rather
pretty?”
“Would you like to hear yourself call
ing. ‘Bertie, mamma wants you?’ or
‘Birdie, didn't 1 tell you not to go in
swimming with your elothes on?’ I
can’t say I should.”
“Willy," said Mrs. O’Bottle, softly,
“why don’t you think out a name?"
"I have thought out one," said O’Bot
tle. In "the grand style.” "It shall be
Kalph. There is no nickname for that,
to my knowledge.”
The O’Bottle baby was duly chris
tened. and not long afterward two of his
fathers intimate fritnds came to‘call
O'Bottle went at once for the baby. He
was afraid his friends would think P
strange if he did not. When he returned
he held his head high-ar.d th* baby just
as the nurse had told him.
“Name's Ralph.” he said.
"Whose? Oh, the kid’s!" said one of
the men.
O Bottle's c.ther friend grasped the
baby s hand. "H llo, sport!” said he.
SOME WINTER WAISTS.

M rar,
AJthoughtht-separate waist has dimin
ished in importance as an article of full
dress it has by no means disappeared. In
tact, says the New York post, it is
too convenient to ever disappear
entirely. A new winter shirt waist
is made of cotton etamine, washabieand
stylish. Embroidered bands in cross
stitch are used to trim these waists, the
colors of which are cither the Russian
blue and red. w ith a touch of black, or
the more varied Bulgarian color combi
nations. Coarse white lace looks well
on canvas waists, and launders well.
The show of h<a\y mercerized Nestings
used for waists is very large Resides
white, there are pale blues, pinks, and
mauves to choose from. A delicate shade
of buff called champagne is popular.
These Nestings are expensive, but they
wear well and launder without losing
any of their fine luster.
Mohair makes up well in shirt waists.
This material has almost take u the place
of the flannel waist so long a favorite.
Mohair has a dust shedding nature and a
dispeisition against wrinkiesthat recom
mend it to the practical A white mohair
waist, box plaited in small plaits and
fastened with tiny brass buttons. Is a
desirable garment to wear with a tailor
gown. It has a trimness that makes it
for general wear preferable to a more
ornate silk waist.
With handsome walking gowns, waists
of crepe de Chine, exactly matching the
cloth in odor, are* mad- In tlnv tucks
or w ith hemstitched or faggotted yokes.
Any of the soft silks are also goe»d for
these w aists w hich are always very sim
ply made, but should be the perfection
of cut and finish. With a brown cloth,
-quite* elaborate carriage gown wa> worn
a brown surah waist, pin-tucked across
the fre>ut and ove r the shoulders and up
per part of the sheves. The re was not a
particle of trimming. The high, tucked
stock was finished with a narrow white
ruching and a white maline bow at the
back. A necklace of old-fashioned gold
beads was worn.

Let stand in the liquor until cold, then

into a saucepan, moisten with a cupful
of beef stock, season highly with half

of black pepper, two teaspoonfuls of

Chicago, Jan. 21—Nearly two months
of work and $500,(H>0 expenditure for
repairs will be required, under the new
theater building ordinance. for the
opening of the Chicago playhouses
This is the estimate of theater manag
ers, and it does not include the amount
which will lie expended for the entire
rebuilding of at least one theater.
Three theaters are dosed certainly,
and five others have almost admitted
that they would be forced to suspend.
The number which will be able to open
has been estimated at from one-half to
six-sevenths. There are few theaters
\Chich will be able to use more than
two floors for many months, and many,
even of the best, may abandon the gal
lery permanently.
The price of theater tickets is almost
certain to be increased. It is said that
$2 and $2.50 as a standard price for
seats is likely to be advocated by the
managers, and that the low-priced
houses will make corresponding in
creases.

Washington. Jan 21.—When the pos
tal trial was resumed, Wednesday, Mr.
Kumler. referring to his charge made
Tuesday that Post Office Inspector
Maher had coached witnesses, said he
did not want to call the attention of
the court agaiu to the matter, but as
the district attorney had pressed him
for proof of his assertion, h* was pre
pared to present an affidavit. The dis
trict attorney protested that the mat
ter could not be brought before the
court In the way that oral testimony
should be heard

Mr Kutnler then said as two affida
vits would he necessary, he would ob
tain one more, whereupon Justice
PrPe iard remarked that if he found
sufficient cause for issuing a rule for
contempt against Mayer he would do
it.
Mr. Douglas interjected the state
ment that the affidavit would apply
equally and perhaps more so to Post
Office Inspector Gregory.
Justice Pritchard informed counsel
on both sides that he would demand
that no extraneous matter be intro
duced to influence the jury, but that if
it was. he would t.ake occasion to men
tion it when he delivered his charge to
the jury.

St. Petersburg, Jan. 21.—The attacks
on Japan in the Russian press are
ceasing. The newspapers prominently
report to the effect that the acute
phase is passing, and they continue to
assert that mediation is unnecessary.
A confusion of Olongampho, on Suing
bay. near Manila, with Yongampho, on
the Yalu river, has led the Russian
press into a curious attack on the
United States. The statement that
Rear-Admiral Evans’ squadron was to
proceed to Olongampo was either gar
bled in transmission or misunderstood,
for it was reported here that the des
tination of the American ships was
"Yongampho.” This error was made
the basis of an attack on the motives
of the United States by the Novoe
Vremya and Llstokuj, both papers pre
tending to see in this move the en
trance of the United States into the
quarrel. The Novoe Vremya remarks:
“At least America will tie an open
enemy, which is preferable to a secret
one.”

France declines to give Russia any as
surances of armed help, should war be
the outcome of the far eastern differ
ences, even should Great Britain aid
Japan. It is understood here that Rus
sia asked France to define her position
in the contingency of Great Britain
actively participating in a Japanese at
tack on Russia, and that the French
government replied that France must
remain military neutral as the Rus
sian-french alliance was quite sep
arate from the question now pending

Washington, Jan. 21.—At the begin
ning of it; session, Wednesday, the
senate took up the resolution for the
addition of a clerk to the senate post
office.
Mr. Hale objected to immediate con
sideration. saying that t. o many in
creases were being made in the clerical
forces of the senate. He appealed to
Mr. Kean, chairman of the committee
on contingent expenses, who replied
that the pending resolution had been
introduced for the purpose of retaining
the services of "the clerk who does
the work.’’
At Mr. Hale’s request, the resolution
went over
Mr Cullom presented a number of
petitions for a service pension bill, say
ing that he had received such petitions
from almost every G. A. It post in Il
linois and that he hoped they would
have the attention of the striate. "I do
not know," he said, “what it would
cost to give a pension to every man
who served in the civil war ”
Mr Gallinger, who sat next to Mr
Cullom. replied under his breath,
"About 40 or 50 millions for the first
year.”
Mr. Patterson then continued his ad
drtss on the Panama canal question.
The house convened at 11'.' a m..to
day in continuation of Tuesday's ses
sion and at once resumed consideration
of the pure food bill, proceeding with
tiie reading of the hill for purposes of
