a Mr. and Mrs. Jesse L. France, after some weeks desultory traveling in France and Germany, are settled now in a little establishment of their own, on a Paris residential street. The artists are delighted to find themselves after nearly a year's absence, once more in their beloved Paris.

Friends writing from there say the domestic part of Mrs. France's house is simply perfect, and that the young housekeeper, when she is not in her studio is to be found asually dabbling with the things in the culinary department. But the place, which the artists most love to be in, is the fine studio, which occupies the entire upper floor. It is a large room, having a roof formed almost entirely, of glass is unusually well lighted. Mrs.

France's easels are at one end of the studio, and Mr. France's at the other, but they have not decided yet whether inspiration will come to both if they stay in one room. A year's earnest work is being looked forward to, after the long months of recreation they have been enjoying. The fashionable woman is said to be a very at the present time. Not because it is fashionable to be dirty, but owing to the fasbionable black silk underwear she is busy affecting.

The underclothing soils the wearer, but she will be in the swim and so she is dirty. The girl who is always on the outlook for ways to get rid of her money has a new thimble now. It of royal Worcester china. Of course it is pretty, or the girl spoken about would not wear it. The greatest trouble with the fad is that it is afflicted with same bad habit which distinguishes its gold and silver sisters, that of getting lost in a most unwarranted and unexpected manner.

It breaks easily, too. Altogether, the birth and death of the china thimble are not likely to be separated very widely. Business will be discussed, by the members of the to-morrow afternoon at 2:30 in the Teachers' li- brary. The Junta club meets to-morrow evening.

That is gray in every one of its various hues and tints. Naturally young matrons and middle-aged women will appear in this demure color most. For debutantes pale greens, blues and pinks predominate. Under the holly and mistletoe on Christmas eve Miss F. Carrie Kent.

Morgan The was married to Mr. J. wedding was a home one, and was celebrated in the house of the bride's father, on Atwood street, Oakland, a few of the intimate friends only being present. The attendants were as maid of honor, Miss Etta, the bride's sister, and Mr. John Lewis, of Johnstown, was his friend's best man.

Mr. Kent has a pretty house for his bride on Marion street, Oakland. When the fashionable woman is doing nothing she is in her tea gown. It is 8 fact that she does everything but sleep in it, and she comes as near that as possible when she takes a doze in her charming boudoir. Then in all the glory of a tea gown's elegance she lays her head back in a lounging chair and wanders about the border land of sleep.

There is a new rose on the New York market called the Souvenir Wooton, The bud of the Souvenir costs 75 cents, and the full blown rose cannot be got for less than $1.50. It is a small red rose. Everything, even to the note paper, is English rose hue now. The english rose is a pale, exquisite pink. it is an Engligh emigrant that has just landed on these shores.

It is natural that one should expect to see the names of Mr. Will Whitesell and Mr. R. J. Cunningbam in the cast of the "Tyrolean Queen.

And there are several reasons which make it a matter of surprise that they are not. Both gentlemen are men whose standing socially in the Sewickley Valley Dramatic club is not an insignificant one, whose professional abilities rank them higher than the highest. It is no flattery to say that Mr. Cunningham is the possessor of a tenor voice that is one of the beat in Pittsburg, and for many years Mr. Whitesell has been A leading basso in a city church, besides appearing frequently in important musical events that come off from time to time.

It is these facts that make the selection by Mrs. Sharpe McDonald (who has charge) of operetta, which called for no leading male characters, seem a strange one. Rather it might appear strange, the slighting of these gentlemen, it it were not 50 pointed. The gentlemen, evidently, are the victims of some pique, trifling or otherwise. To satisfy it they are not to appear on the boards at entertainment, which while costing the club an unusually heavy sum, does not permit the production of the best dramatic ability, which it possesses.

A performance hardly can be other than thin, that does not contain Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Whitesell. The operetta will be given on Tuesday, the 21st, and the cast for the presentation is: Rosalie. Mrs.

Sharpe McDonald Fairy Lidle Murray Mother Mrs. D. Il. Adair Gypsy boy Frank Richardson First Miss Bessie Waters Second Miss Detweller Third maiden. Miss Nellie Carpenter Fourth Bessin Carpenter First Mr.

Bert Waters Second Mr. Fred Irwin A chorus of 50 voices will be a charming adjunct to the performance. It is made up of ladies and gentlemen of Sewickley whose voices, good naturally, have been developed by careful training. Mr. Albert H.

Postoffice Fight at Tyrone.

TYRONE, Jan. 6. fight for the Tyrone postoffice is, perhaps, waged with more vigor than any political contest for place within the history of the place. The aspirants are C. S.

W. Jones, proprietor of the Herald, and D. T. Caldwell, an insurance and real estate man. Both are competent, and their respective claims supported by different political cliques of the same party.

The next congressional fight largely enters into the contest. It Jones wins it will be a victory for Samuel McCamant, who is anxious to occupy Scull's place in congress, while if Caldwell is appointed Scull will score a victory, and he is desirous of being returned. Caldwell is undeniably the people's choice, beside being backed by the strongest political workers in the state. Jones relies to a great extent on his military record. You cannot deny facts, and it is a fact that Salvation Oil is the greatest pain cure.

THE LAWS QUOTED ON THE TENTH STREET CORPORATION, Councilman Nisbet Has Been Delving Among Legislative Enactments With Some Ef-Provisions of the Act. 441 am fully convinced that the South Tenth Street bridge can be made free der the act of assembly that I had read before the free bridge committee of councils last Friday afternoon, notwithstanding the seeming obstacles that appeared to some people to stand in the way," said Councilman Nisbet, of the Thirtyfirst ward, to a Press reporter to-day. there were several acts of assembly passed relating 1 to the charter of the company," continued Mr. Nigbet, "'the original intention of the charter to make the bridge free to the public was never changed. The first act of as sembly incorporating the bridge company was passed on April 8, 1837.

It was then known by the name of the Birmingham Bridge and Road company. The act authorized the company to build a turnpike along Denman, now South Twelfth street, and also the right to build a bridge across the Monongabela river. It was always the intention to build the bridge at McKee, now South Tenth street. Under the act of April 3. 1837, the company was required, at the end of 40 years from that date, to make the bridge free, with the provision, however, that it had paid 12 cent.

on its capital stock, which was fixed at $100, 000. All over 12 per cent. on the capital stock was to be placed in a sinking fund. The sinking fund was to be used for the purpose of redeeming the bridge and making it free to the public forever. April 18, 1853, an act of assembly was passed reviving the old charter and changing the name to the Birmingham and Pittsburg Bridge company.

The company, as is evident from the name, had abandoned the intention of constructing a turnpike, but it is more certain that the intention to build a bridge, as originally planned, had not been abandoned. point which makes it plain that the South Tenth street bridge can be made free, is apparent in the act of assembly dated April 9, 1856. That act was passed for the amending of the original charter, 50 as to repeal that part section 10 of the charter which referred to the period of time at which the bridge was to be made free, but it did not repeal the, power as to the redeeming had of been the bridge when sufficient accumulated in the sinking fund to accomplish that object and make the bridge free. I desire it to be distinctly understood that the clause providing that the bridge be redeemed by the sinking fund, which fund was to be raised by the surplus revenue over 12 per cent. on the capital stock, has never been repealed.

Only that part of the section that referred to the time in which the bridge must be made free was repealed. That was done because the company bad allowed considerable time elapse before it was finally decided to build the bridge and before it was opened to the public. As I said before, the original intention to make the bridge free was never changed March 22, 1867, still another act by, law. of assembly was passed that related to this bridge company. That act was passed to give the company the right to issue preferred stock not exceeding 000, making the total stock of the company $130,000.

these questions are worthy of consideration. I have been informed by persons that the bridge has been paying for many years dividends amounting to over 20 per cent. The question arises, then, has the company been living up to the provisions of its charter by setting aside for the sinking fund all over 12 per The act of incorporation provides that the court shall appoint a board of appraisers to condemn the bridge and declare it free, after certain conditions have been fulfilled. I feel confident that time has come for the court to act in the matter, and I think such action should not be delayed. It is certain that the bridge than paid for itself, and it will be an easy question to determine disposition has been made of the money, that should be in the sinking fund, if it is not there at present.

"To repeat again. I believe that the South Tenth street bridge can be made free under the old act which I have cited, but should any technicality arise that would prevent such a course, my investigation has developed the fact that the city will not have to pay very much to secure at least one bridge and make it free to the public. The total capital stock of the bridge company, including the limit at which the preferred stock was placed, amounts to only $130,000. That much money can be raised by the city by levying, The less than a 1-mill tax for one year. stock of the South Tenth street bridge amounts to only $5,000 more than the price which the city has agreed to pay for the luxuary of adding 100 acres to the 300-acre park which Mrs.

Schenley donated to the city. It seems to me that a free bridge will be of more value to the taxpayers than the acquisition of an additional 100 acres of land." AMERICUS CLUB ELECTION.
