FASHION ITEMS.
BY OUR FASHION EDITOR.


The dress-makers are driven wild hyt
the. appeals of their lady customers for
artistic dresses. - - RI"
Gentlemen who affect the latest style
wear scarfs made OF q silk handkerchief
tied in pretty knot.
Straight linen bands are the newest
collars. Tiev are stylish on most p' %
pie The cuffs are square and tas'enedj
with q linked button.
The fashionable shoes are very ugly
and are not calculated TO show of a
pretty foot to advantage They are
thick and clumsy looking
Ahsexpert in button-bole making tells
me that she makes each one by chalk
line, whether on dresses or cloaks and
docs a row of stitching all around the
line on her sewing machine, cutting the
button-hole between the lines of s'i.cn.
ing with a sharp knife. This gives
firm edge to be worked over and pre-
vents raveling and drawing away of the
material. -r .
Madame Patti must bave bren pleas

that she was dressed in blue water proof
when she arrived in Nv York Itis
needless to say that the reporters were
men and that they got her dress as cor

wore travelling costume of dark b'ue

DEAR GENERAL: Soon after the pub
fication of the reports of the Schofield
board, you wrote me thanking me as one
of the hoard for our action in your case.
intended to replv to your letter at
once. but just then Gen. Sheridan desired
me to accompany him on visit to some
posts in my department, and delayed
nv reply until my return TO ST. Paul.
Then 10 the multitude of things to whic''
1 had to attend forgot to make it.
write now to say that it is not thanks,
but pardon, which l should ask from
you. For years did you wrong in
thought, and sometimes wrong in speech
1t is true this was through ignorance
tut had no right TO be so ignorant,
might have learned something, at least
of truth, had diligently sought it. /
Won find anything 10 my action as 6
member OF ne Board which you can &C
cept as an atonement for the great wronG
II did you, l shall be more than gra'ifed
With great respect and admiration, an
yours, most sincerely,

AN HISTORICAL CASE.
a. :.'.l
Gen. Fitz John Porter Asking Relief
GRANT. AND .TERRY'S TESTIMONY.
New YnRK Dec. q, 1851

NEW YORK Dec. 22, 1901.
To the President. Washington, D. G.:
DEAR SIR: At tue r,q lest Of General
Fnz John Porter, l have recently re-
viewed his trial and the testimony, fur
nished before the Schotield Court OF In
quiry, held in. 1879, giving TO the subject
three full days OF careful reading and
consider alton, and much thought in the
intervening time.
The reading of the whole of this re-
cord has thoroughly convinced me that
for these nineteen years ] have been do
Ing gallant and efficient soldier very
great injustice, in thought; and some
times IN speech.
| feel it incumbent on me to do what
lies in my power to remove from him
and his family, the stain upon his name.
feel this more incumbent upon me than
should if | had been corps commander
onlp, or occupying any other command
in the army than the one which / did
but as General, l had it possibly in my
power to have obtained for him hear.
ing which he only got at later day
and as P esiden', certainly had power
to have ordered that hearing.
In Justification for my injustice to
Gen. Porter, can only state that short
Nv after the war closed, his defense wa
brought to my attention, but | read it il
connection with sketch Of the felt
where his offenses were said 10. have beel
co united. which I now see. since a,per
feet map has been made by the Engin
Eeer's Department of the whole field. d.wer
totally incorrect, as showing the positio
of the two armies. ....,.-f
have read it in connection with tn
statements made on the. other sid'
, against Gen. Porter, and am afrait
possibly, with some little prejudice
: the case; although Gen. Porter was
; man whom l persona " knew and like
before. But got the impression, wit
many others, that there was half hear
I ed support OF Gen Pope in his can
paign, and that Gen. Porter, while po
sibfy not more guilty Than others, ha
pened to be placed in condition who
he could be male responsible for his i
difference; and that the punishment W
not a severe one for such an. oIense. /.
g I am now convinced that he render'
o faithful, efficient and intelligent servic
d and the fact that he was retained in col
re mand. Of corps tor months after his
i. lenses were. said to have been committe
" is in his favor.
10 What would ask in Gen Porter's
as half from you is, that if you can pos
!, bly, give the time, that you give the sn
% ject the same study aud thought tina
3 have giveni it, and then act as your ind
I'd ment may dictate. But feeling you "
er not have time for such an investigate
is flor it would take several days time.
ke would ask that the whole matter be Ii
he before the Attorney General for his
w animation and opinion.
o. Hoping you will do this much for
%. officer who has suffered for ninete
n years punishment that never sho'
a have been inflicted on any but the M
,st guilty, l am very truly yours,
