THE PRESIDENTIAL EXCURSION.
Secretary Rusk Discusses the Features
and the Presidents Speeches.

Seoretary kusk Dfscusaes the Features
and the Presidents Speeches.
WASHINGTON CITY, May i6--secretary Rusk,
In speaking today of the presidential excursion,
said 1t was wonderful one. Especially graft
flying was the reception in the South, but the
great American people were enthusiastic from
start TO finish, and If the good folks on the route
omitted any courtesy it was moro than he could
do to discover the gap "a feature OF the trip
that impressed me more even than the popular
enthusiasm continued the secretary, twas the
remarkable oratorical ability Of the president.
He made greater number of first-class speeches
in month than many public men could think
OF and deliver in lifetime. and his efforts were
not prearranged, for the best things he said were
spontaneous"

most sure to be miSwOrn. Dark blue,
striped with a dark rhododendron red, Is
favorite combination aud very fairly
safe one. Auburn brown and nut brown
are seen constantly and are combined
with yellow. Jaguar brown is the
name Of a color, or rather OF combi-
nation OF cOlorS, about which there is
really very little brown at all. Beige,
yellow and pale brown spots are strewn
irregularly over tawny ground, and
the fabric is used occasionally for street
dresses, but more often and moro ap-
propriately for bands of trimming.
One Of the best-liked designs for a
bodice is seen in an illustration. 1t Is
long and tlght-ftting in the back, being
plated in three hollow plaltS, while the
front is plain. 1t is full at the shout
ders, buttons at the waist and opens
over a lighter colored plastron. In the
original the color combination was
chamOis and heather brown.
The long cloaks for winter seem to be
cut a good deal on the model Of the
princess polOnaise. The finest ones

and sometimes for hoods and long fur
cuffs reaching to the elbows. The cloak

the hem.

It was a memorable trial. All Windsor

Firemen 1nhale Poisonous Fumes

CHICAGO, September 1s.-The Fire
Insurance Patrol and number OF fire
engines were called to eXtinguish
a small blaze in the office Of the Ander-
son Printing Co., on Adams street,
caused by the breaking OF bottle Of
muriatic acid. The fumes from the
burning acid and wood caused the fire
men to cough violently, but after ex-
tinguishIng the flames they went to
their quarters. Soon after they were
attacked with intense pains in the
lungs, accompanied by severe chills,
heart failure and every symptom of pneu-
monia. Physicians said that the men had
inhaled muriatic ether, adeadly poison
Gus gas generated by the burning
muriatlc acid. Captain Mullins, OF the
fire insurance patrol, was in the most
serious condition, and in spite OF all
that could be done for him, died early
this morning in great agony. Captain

companies, and Joseph Williams, a
