We are located In Thompson building, in Room Ns. above Casino Restaurant, Charleroi. The Mart Retails That Ralea tli BfMdleaV Waklaar Hears. Let ns look for a moment at the division of time in a week in the academy. The morning gun awakens the yoOng midshipman at 6 o'clock.

He has thirty-five minutes to dress and appear for roll call. When this is over he and bis comrades march at once to breakfast. It is then about twenty minutes before 7 o'clock. After breakfast a short prayer Is offered by the chaplain. The meal Is over by 7:30, and then there is the sick call.

Twenty minutes later the midshipmen must be in their rooms ready to go to their first recitation. At 7:55 they form and march to their classes in At 8 o'clock they are called to order in their classrooms. The actual work of the day has begun early, and there hs been no lagging or loafing. At the Naval academy the midshipmen are trained to walk, with a quick step and at a lively gait. The men in the class squads from six to twelve each march two abreast and in close formation.

It does not take them long to go from one building to. another. For each midshipman there are three recitation periods of two hours each. Half of each period is devoted to study, half to actual recitation in class. The first period is from 8 to 10 o'clock in the morning, the second period from 10:15 to 12:15 o'clock and the third period from 2 o'clock to 4 in the afternoon.

Between 12:15 and 2 o'clock the midshipmen eat their dinner and have a few minutes afterward for rest At 4 o'clock all the class work is over, but not the work of the day, for then comes the call to drill. Drill lasts an hour and a half, and it is work, too, for the naval officer must know thoroughly the infantry and artillery practice of the soldier as well as his own particular branch of the profession of being ready to fight. When his task is over at 5:30 the midshipman has an hour and a half of recreation. This is the playtime of the day. The boys are then on the athletic field engaged in football or baseball practice, depending on the time of the year; sailing in catboats on the harbor or indulging in other amusements that they may choose.

But during that hour they are still under the rules governing general conduct. When 6:55 comes the men are called to supper, and at 7:30 the midshipmen must be in their rooms again and at their books. The study period is two hours Jong. There is a half hour's relaxation before bedtime, during which the young men may visit each other's rooms, but at 10 o'clock all lights must be out. For five days in the week this is the unvarying routine, with the exception of two hours' liberty Wednesday afternoon for the flrst class.

On Saturday and Sunday there is a change. Varying with the length of time which they, have spent in the academy, liberty is granted to all midshipmen on these two days of the week1. The members of all four classes are permitted to leave the grounds after the roll call to dinner, but they must return before the formation for supper. After the supper call the members of the first and second classes have permission to go again beyond the academic limits, but they are required to be back by 9:30. They may or may not eat their supper at the academy mess, as they desire, but they must always report for roll call.

In this way the authorities of the institution keep a finger on them. Leslie's Weekly. Hints To Advertises.

Near the moutl) of Pigeon Creek one time existed a sawmill, erected by the late William Ihmsen, who carried on the glass-works on what was known as the Island and also the one that stood on Second street.

Ihmsen was one of the most active business men of his dav and his death was' much lamented. Some day I want to ride up Pigeon Creek by railroad, as yet I have not had that pleasure. In that trip I would like to have the company of G. Lawrence, Dock Bentlyi John Mirkell and Clinton Van Voorhis. I am fond of such young men.

TtLiMniii Office, M-i, TSLiMoMsttMifle MAIN ST. C. MEREDITH, Embalmer. Dark Colors Stylish Individual Gown-Yachts aid Yachting Dresses. Dear Daily: The caprice of the fashion was never more strongly illustrated than in the sudden appearance of afternoon costumes in dark brown, bine, maroon or green.

This is true of light weight fabrics, such as canvas, veiling or chiff on cloth, and relieved by cluny lace insertions in self color over white, or in bands of colored embroidery. Vith the advent of sombre hues (transitory perhaps) royal blue, always a favorite, is now used for evening. A handsome example, worn by Chicago blondes, showed a double niching of the dress material around the skirt, and laid in loops at regular spaces, the centres filled in witii blue satin and two similar ruchings above, Ia White Chiffon Cloth the spaces formed by open loops are filled by white lace medallions. On' white or- lace is similarly employed. An elegant evening dress seen at an entertainment had a fonndation of white satin, with net skirt over it, trimmed with two deep net ruffles bordered by passementerie of raised chiffon flowers, a heavy edge being supplied bv Re naissance lace.

The bodice was low cut aud edged by chiffon flowers, with wide belt of white silk. A roll of net caught at intervals by a chiffon rose served as a heading to the skirt ruffles. The stylish toilette illustrated is es pecially prepared by The Delineator, combining bodice and skirt pattern 7o28. The materia1 is cafe-au lait voile; the bsdico is finished ecru lace, and shows a "Monte Carlo" bolero that reveals the tucked front. The skirt is five gores with habit back.

Yachts and Yachting are the absorbing topics of the day, and with the ad vent of the season there is a general rush for the water. Those who can do so, go on the water; those who cannot sit by the shore and look at it. But whether they -'sail the briny" or watch it roll and splash from the piazza of a seaside hotel.they all enjoy in com at on the pleasnre and satisfaction to be ob tained from the use of Murray fe Lan-man's Florida water, which ia more popular than ever this year, and is never missing from the summer kit of the yachts woman or the seaside sojourner. Yachting suits are in great variety as to material and heavy or "batcher" linen, mohair, serge, canvas or flannel are a matter of individual taste. The "Peter Thompson" style leads in making, consisting of a simple seyen gored skirt and a blouse slipped over the head, sleeves and collar trimmed with white braid, A drawinr string of white linen tape is inserted at the back and tied around the waist keeping the short skirt in position.

For the most part these suits are in thiek dark bine or light blue linen, rose pink and also in dark blae flannel. Other styles show a no less simple skirt, usually white with an ordinary sailor ouse, trimmed with stitched taffeta silk, on collar.cuffs or beit.or with fancy straps and buttons on the blouse front. Then again white canvas, serge or linens are handsomely embroidered in crimson on the sleeves, collar and shield. Hand embroidery ou vhite linen is stylish. Yachting caps of blue broa oilskin, white camel's hair, cravenette, plain or checked, while hats are.

of gored, linen or canvas with medium sized brims and trimmed with white ribbon. Verona The Hotel Rittenhouse, New Jersey avenue, Atlantic City, will be the stopping place of T. 8. and Mrs. McCurdy and Miss Helen McCurdy for their two weeks1 stay at the shore.

TELEPHONES. 34 ITcnvRAl. 1 DOCTOR VAN VOORHIS Continues His Sketches by a Trolley Ride Over Horse Shoe.

In my former letter I came to a bait on the Summit of Horse Shoe. The trolley line passes oyer the ridge or summit at a low point, on both sides of which is an elevation where a mag-ni Scent attracts the eye of the observer. Ou the north rises the Wall hill, on the west the white barn and brick mansion on the far off Pollock's hill, appear in On the south looms up the majestic Krepp's Knot 'Like some tall cliff whose awful form, Swells from the vale but midway leaves the storm Whilsts round its base the rolling clouds are spread, Ktt-rnal sunshine settles on its head." On the east in bold relief rise in wonder the blue mountains beyond Union-town, darkened at their base by the smoke from ten thousand coke ovens. As we go down from the summit on the rigkt we see the farm on which so long our friend John Shanton resided, but now owned by Adam Culler. On the left we pass the relics of the defunct Granttown Here Robert and George Grant for many years held sway with their numerous progeny, among whom we -call to mind the eccentric Joe, Boss and Tiptoe John, all have passed away; here is Park Wickerham-it would besacrilege to call it by apy other name.

William Wicker ham was a name very familier among the early settlers. He was the son of Adam Wickerham, who laid out part of Monongahela below Third street, known as Georgetown. William Wickerham was a great lover of fruit trees, and what he and George W. and Bradford Allen did not know about fruit was not worth knowing. On the ridge as you go toward the new town of Donora, you pass in view the Sampson, the old Macky home, the Rabe, Teeple, and finally the nice home of the late Ira Butler, whose father and family came in a carriage from the East in 1805.

Wickerham Park is fast growing in favor as a health resort. It is hoped that modern pride will not do away with its original aopearaace, and that it will remain in the name of W'ckerham. At the mouth of this hollow the Behanna's in early days loaded coal into small fiat boats with the old-timed wheelbarrow. The Behanna boys had a peculiar fond-Bess for fishing, and their territory was pretty much confined to the good fishing in the deep water between Judge Baird's and Judge Hill's residence, where a fish estimated to have been six feet in length held sway for years despite the expert rshermen. Extending from Wickerham's hollow to the stream at Black Diamond exists to this day the first tunnel ever made in the United States.

It was constructed to unite the water in the two streams for the purpose of furnishing motive power to the sawmill, long since passed away. Samuel Hill was no ordinary man in his day. He was justice of the peace, was a military officer in the State militia, and as such was commander-in-chief at the Fourth of July celebration in Sycamore groye, which for years was a beautiful shade for those seeking rest in summer time. Up Park avenue, near the residence of Alderman Bryan, here by way of parenthesis, I would insert, that Park avenue should be changed to Parkinson, for, as I know, there is not even a street named for the origiial proprietor of the town. Hill was also associate judge in the courts of Washington county, and was a long time connected with the Wil-liamsport Pike company.

He was owner of the farm on which the Black Diamond station is located. His large family has afcout all passed away. Next is the old Warne homestead, originally owned by the Parkinson's. Warne obtained his military title by his service in the war of 1813. His wife was a Parkinson.

On the hill near by stands the First ward school-house, a most beautiful building, modeled after the Parthenon in Athen, Greece, and will stand in the sunlight of learning for years as a monument to the skill of the architect. The moment I first saw it, I exclaimed, "That ia Parthenon." Here on the berder of old Catsburgh Pittsburg- local stocks want them. SECURITY R. D.
