Plan to Commemorate Them on Chicka-
 mauga's Bloody Field.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-A joint meeting of Union and Confederate veterans who were engaged at Chickamauga was held in the room of the senate committee on military af- fairs.

Cist, of Cincinnati, chairman of committee of the Society of the Army of the Cumberland, charged with this subject, called his committee here
 The plan of preserving and marking the field of Chickamauga under the auspices of a joint memorial corporation representing all the states that had troops there, patterned after the Gettysburg association, was cordi- ally approved.

To Kill Annexation Sentiment.

OTTAWA, Feb. 15.-The annexation senti- ment is spreading so rapidly that the gov e1nment has awakened to the necessity of doing something to stem it. At cabinet council held recently, it reported on semi official authority, that a decision was arrived at urging the adoption of joint memorial from the commons and the senate requesting the queen to send member of her family to Canada in the coming summer. Should this be fact, it would not be an improbabihty that the willy Sir John A. Macdonald would find some excuse for a general election just about that time, and make loyalty to the em- pire the rally cry. At any rate, it would be expected that in the presence of royalty no whisper of annexation would be breathed anywhere over the land.

A CRIME AGAINST ITSELF.

English Government Detectives Rifle the
 Mail of ParnelIs Attorneys in Search
 of Evidence-Balfour Breaking Down.
 LONDON, Feb. 15.-The firm of Lewis & Lewis, solicitors for the Parnellites, are very indignant over discovery which gives evi- dence that the government are doing all in their power to embarrass Mr. Parnell and his associates in their struggle to clear their names from crime before the special com mission. The letters addressed to these solic- itors show, by their condition when received, that they have been tempered with in transit The letters bear marks of having been opened and resealed, especially those from the firms agents in Ireland. The espionage which the governments detectives have exercised over the firms affairs since they undertook the Parnellites' business, though excessively gall ing, has hitherto been conducted with such secrecy that open notice could not be taken of the annoyance. Tanpering with mali matter, however, is serious offense, and the solicitors propose to have the affair investi- gated. The letters will be submitted to the commission and justice demanded
 MT. Balfour attended a meeting of the cabinet He drove to Downing street in a cab, which was followed, as usual, by the detectives who guard the secretary. He de parted from the meeting on foot, and, though it was raining hard, did not raise the um- brella which he carried, but walked on in the drenching rain, apparently unconscious ot the wetting he received. This and other eccentricities which he has committed re gently puzzle his friends, who fear that Irish cares are proving too great burden for him in his feeble health

 COLUMBUS, O., Feb. 15.-Gen. AIger, of Michigan, was prominent guest at the Lin coin banquet of the Ohio Republican league Tuesday night An Ohio politician jocosely remarked to him, at the conclusion of Governor Forakers caustic remarks aimed at Sherman, that there seemed to be a grievance between the most distinguished citizen of Michigan and the most distinguished citizen of Ohio meaning Sherman.
 "Well," replied Alger, with great ener gy and evident feeling, Sherman has got to say whether he did or did not make the remarks about me attributed to him. No man shall talk that way about me with impunity. wrote Sherman a letter yesterday demanding an explicit avowal or disavowal of the re- marks about me attributed to him since the Chicago convention, and he has got to an swer. Yes, sir, shall insist upon an answer !"
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-Senator Sherman, being asked if he had received letter from Gen, Alger demanding an avowal or dis avowal of remarks about Alger attributed to to him since the Chicago convention, said he had not received it and had not heard of such a thing

An Address Which Pleased the Builders.
 Officers Elected.
 PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 15.-The third annual convention of the National Association of Builders closed its sessions. Architect John McArthur, Jr., of the public buildings, read paper prepared by o. P. Hatfield, the New York architect. The writer of the address held that the architects position was that of an umpire or judge, whose duty it was to guard the interests of the owner as we'll as those of the builder. The success of an archi- tect depended upon his ability to select the best contractor for the owner. Unity of action was urged between the architect and the builder.
 A motion to have Mr. Hatfeld's address printed in pamphlet form and distributed all over the United States was agreed to.
 Professor George Eastbrun, M. A., of this city, delivered very interesting address on the metric system.
 Tho greater portion of the afternoon session was taken up by the report of the committee on resolutions and the consideration of the same.
 It was decided to have the next meeting held iii St. Paul about Jan. 20, 1890.
 The following officers were elected to serve for tle ensuing year:
 President, Edward E. Scribner, of St. Paul; first vice president, John J. Tucker, of New York; second vice president, A. McAl lister, of Cleveland; secretary, William H. Gayward, of Boston; treasurer, George Zap per, of Chicago.
 To-day the members of the association will examine the new city hall and the Ma sonic Temple, and at ? o'clock will be given a luncheon at the old exchange room of the Master Builders Exchange,

The " Times" Solicitor Bought Them But
 They May Be Forgeries.
 LONDON, Feb. 15.-Mr. Soames, the Times solicitor, was before the Parnen commission as a witness, giving technical evidence The public have lost interest in the proceedings He aroused attention by handing in seven of Parnells letters, which Inglis, the Times ex- pert, believes to be genuine. He said he had received them from Pigott, and then pro duced a number of Parnell's signatures to prove the genuineness of the letters
 Sir Charles Russell cross examined Mir Soanes, and elicited from him the informa- tion that the Times articles on "Parnellism and Crime" were prepared by MT. Flana- gan, son of the irish judge.
 The witness further stated that he paiG Houston e1 900 on May 14, 1887, for the Par nell letters, and after that he disposed of various sums for other letters, bringing the amount paid up to a total of e1 800 He also paid Mozer over f1, 900, Kirby e25O, and Thompson, an agent e3OO.
 The Evening Telegraph reports on good authority that Pigott discovered and ob- tained possession of the so called Parnell let ters in a manner not calculated to strengthen the claims as to their genuineness.
 The paper declares that they will be proved to be impudent forgeries and the evidence to that effect will be direct, complete and con- yincing.

It May Result in Two Governors and Two
 Senators-Kenna Gaining.
 WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The reports from West Virginia indicate that there are likely to be two governors in that state from and after the adjournment of the legislature, which soon expires by limitation, and Presi- dent Harrison will be compelled to recognize one or the other of them There is very little probability that anyone will be elected to the senate, in which case each governor will fill the vacancy by appointment and two sets of credentials will be sent in. Thus the titles of the governors will be submitted to the senate of the United States for its decision.
 CHARLESTON, W. Va, Feb. 1.-Two bal lots were taken in the joint assembly, Kenna received fl and Golf AZ votes on each Kenna made a gain, Messrs. Dow, Merrill and Shanklin being the only Democrats who voted against him. The Union Labor men again voted for Wirt.

PRICE TWO CENTS.

pleasing, the general verdict Is that they are pretty and graceful. A lovely dress was made by leading house for a young debutante in the Empire style, like the design herewith. The corsage and skirt front were of pale green silk brocaded with white and silver gray in yer gray silk tissue which reached from the shoulders to the feet, crossing the waist like a suEplice, and fastened down the front of the skirt. The back was made of silver gray tissue over the green brocade. A wide white ribbon was pleated about the waist in form of a belt, and two ends reach the bottom of the dress at the sides. This is now the favorite manner of wearing sash.
 A handsome directoire costume is of dove gray, or ardoise. as others call it. though it is nearer the color of ringdoves than slate. The material in the model was of fine striped silk warp mohair, the intervening stripe being white. The model is quite a simple one, but is very effective when made. The side panels are of cream colored cashmere lavishly embroidered in gray silk and silver threads. I know lady who is copying this pattern in a fine stripe gingham and rising panels of sateen in the new cash mere pattern, and the effect is really very beautiful. Sateen and gingham dresses can be worn whole season with out requiring to be laundered. Indeed, the other dress could easily be made up of sateen and thin muslin, or of the lace ginghams, and be very handsome and summery. x%x
 Styles for mourning have undergone much change, and are marked by ex- treme and rigid simplicity of unbroken
 lines and form. For young ladies in mourning for parents or brothers or sis ters hats are admirable, and no veil is required. The gowns, and particularly the one from which our illustration is taken, has longitudinal box plaits of Henrietta cloth, or Priestly crepe cloth, with width of English crape laid flat between them and one round fold of crape down the sides. Cuffs, collar, pointed belt and diagonal milliner's fold for the waist are all of English crepe.
 On cold days short wrap or jacket of the same material as the dress can be worn and black dressed gloves. For widows, and mothers who have lost children, the style is as severe and simple with plain panels and folds, but bonnet and veil must be worn. This veil can be of nuns yelling or English

 Terrible Struggle


 Terrible Struggle.
 CLYrE, N. J., Feb. 15.--Col Routh Goshen, the famous giant, who died on Tuesday, was buried yesterday afternoon. The farm house of the dead giant was thronged with villagers long before 10 o'clock in the morning, the hour fixed for the funeral The services were conducted by the Rev. James Le Ferre, who had baptized Col. Goshen before he died
 It has been learned that Col. Goshen, be- fore he died, confessed to the Rev. MT. Le Ferre that he committed a dark crime early in his life The giant told the minister that it had always been his intention to die with his boots on. The minister, when questioned about the giants confession, positively re- fused to say anything about the matter
 The remains had been placed in coffin eight feet long and three feet wide. It was covered with cloth and had been specially made for the deceased.
 After the funeral services were over the coffin was borne on the shoulders of eight sturdy farmers to wagon which was stand ing in the road about 100 yards from the house. Undertaken Van Duyn said he could not find a hearse large enough in that sec tion of New Jersey to hold the giants coffin The pail bearers had hard struggle in car ry1ng the remains down the incline leading from the house to the road, and when they deposited the coffin in the wagon beads of precipitation stood out on their foreheads A large crowd followed the remains to the Middlebush cemetery, where the interment took place.
 Col Goshen left an estate valued at about S10,O0O. He was married three times and di- vorced twice. He left his property to his married daughter, with whom he resided. One of his wives, who resides in Elgin, Ills, will, it is said, contest the giants will

 crape. Widows, irrespective of age, wear shawls, and nearly all rather elderly ladies in mourning now wear shawls. These come in large sizes of the same fine texture as the other silk warp goods, and hang very gracefully. Wraps are somewhat worn for deep widows mourn ing. but never jackets.
 When warm weather comes on, all wraps will be left off, the sweeping veil giving all the drapery necessary. The veils are not so long as formerly, and do not fall over the face, many of them be- ing sewn in the back of the bonnet. Others will be pinned over the bonnet and short Brussels net veils worn down over the face. Grape bonnets are rather less severe than heretofore, and the trimmings of crape bows are set high. The Courtauld crape is said to be the best, as it does not grow rusty or stringy.
 **~
 This last week has been prolific in novelties in handsome wool goods for late spring and summer wear, among which remarked some beautiful effects in black. They are the black brocaded Henrietta cloths. Some of them have @ pattern that gives the appearance of shaded lines made of lozenges and dots from light gray to black, and yet the material is jet black, the effect being ob- tained only in the weave. There are also navy and zigzag lines, and multi tude of other patterns, besides the lovely silk warp mohairs in the grays, by now process, so that they cannot cookie up whenever damp.
 l also notice numbers of dress patterns of wool Henrietta and bourette, as well as ladies' cloth with braided patterns upon them in contrasting colors or darker shades. A pale green had darker green pattern, black an emerald green, drab had pattern of yellow and brown. This is not exactly braid nor is it precisely embroidery, and 1t looks more like close chain stitching in heavy saddler's silk, which think it is in fact. Anyhow the effect is very beautiful. The wide pattern goes around the bot tom and the other is for drapery.
 By next week the made up garments of the new goods will be on view and the first lot of new spring bonnets. and from now until then think will take a rest and so be able to live through it all
