V, indeed, these mantleN

Very pretty, indeed, these mantleN
are, and very becoming to almost every
one, for they make a tall woman look
graceful, and short one appear tall by
giving length to her waist and dignity
to her neck.
Dress collars are worn either very,
very high or they are not worn at all.
There is really no medium. Of the
high ones, the lowest are two inches.
The highest are nine inches in the back,
and as high in front as a woman's chin
will permit.
The dresses that have no collars at
all are cut round in the neck and
finished with a cording or are made
slightly V shaped front and back. The
latter style is very becoming to ladies
with full threats and graceful necks.
And the round finish with cording looks
well upon young girls who have fair
! white skins.
AS a finish to the very high collars,
chiffon is used upon gowns and wraps,
and mantles and cloaks. The chiffon is
gathered so closely that it makes lit
tie thick putting, and flares over the
edge of the collar, setting off the hair,
neck and chin in the most becoming
manner.
Feather trimming was worn for this
purpose early in the spring, but it is
too warm now for the feather trim
ming, on gowns at least, and chiffon
must take the place of it.
A bunch of court feathers arranged
similarly to those which ornament the
hair when one goes to bow down before
England's gracious queen, is placed
upon the left shoulder of ball gown
that has no sleeves and so little bodice
that it is not worth while to look foi
any of it above the bust line. At the
right shoulder bunch of ribbon is used,
and on the left there are the feathers
and a ieweled ornament.
Feathers are SO fashionable that sea-
side bellies, regardless of the fact that
| they soon come out of curl, use them
for trimming fans and for pinning upon
any article of dress that may seem able
| to bear it..

drawn about the shoulders of Sarato-
ga belle who sat upon the steps of the
Grand Union one cool evening last
week.
Handsome jeweled embroidery was
put on in an enormous V front and
back and epaulettes of the same en-
broidery fell far over the shoulders and
down the full folds which took the
place of sleeves. The Medici collar
was SO very high and so stiffiy be-
'decked with jewels and ornaments that
the fair wearer rested her head Ian
guidly against it, finding full support
for her tired neck and weary brain.
Above the green and gold embroidery,
which set off the reseaa plush so ex-
quisitely, was large coil of cows tail
red hair, twisted and curled and knotted
until it seemed like a huge mass of spun
gold on top of the wearer's head.

THE AMERICAN WAITER.
An Imperious Creature Who Rules with
HaughtY Mein.

HduEnty helH'
The hotel clerk S imperious ways have
long been subject of admiration not
unmixed with awe to the unassuming
traveller, but it is doubtful whether even
the hotel clerk, as a persona ingrata,
rivals the American waiter in an English
mans eyes. Englishman often express
their wonder at the imperturba bility
of Americans at the ''impertinences' of
walters. One of these disguised English
men. writing to a New York paper, COM
plains that Americans have copied the
bad English habit of tipping walters, Il
custom that is specially distasteful to
an Englishman in America from the
fact that, whereas the London waiter
earns his douceur by his politeness and
attention to the guests wants; the Am
erican waiter is frequently inattentive,
impertinent, and takes the tip without
a word of acknowledgment.
There is much to be said in favor of
the Englishman's view of the case. Tip
ping is certainly an I'M American custom,
is not compatible with the spirit of
democracy, and inevitably tends to SER
Witty on the part of the receiver and a
patronizing manner on the part of the
giver. Possibly it is the absence of this
spirit of servility in American walters
or the rcsenting of the lordly ways of
the Englishman on the part of the
waiter that is responsible for many of
the impertinences and much of the fric-
ton which is the Englishman's portion
when travelling in America. The aver
age Briton gives his orders to waiter
in a tone and manner rarely used by an
American. and it is but natural that the
waiter should resent it. The American
idea is service without servility. and
Americans. as Il rule. recognize that the
waiter need not be constantly reminded
of his inferior position by the tone and
manner of the guest, Any one who
adopts this manner toward walters
when travelling in America is likely to
make every body uncomfortable and his
course through the country will be
merely a succession of rows with the
various ''meni ais" who minister to his
wants.
The American water is by no means per-
feet and little more effectiveness and
Difference towards those he serves would
undoubtedly improve him, and it is also
barely possible that little more con-
sideration for the waiter would improve
the average guest, whether American or
Briton. Chicago Herald

coNpEMNABLE JEALOUSY.

Velasco has now without doubt the deep
water harbor of the state. Evidence from
too many different sources proves this. In
stead of building town on the prospect of
deep water, she first obtained her deep
water and now has her town building boom.
OF the character of the boom or the desira-
bility of her situation nothing need be said
but forthe insane jealousy which is evident
in other coast towns with prospects for deep
water, there should be much condemnation.
There should moreover be a well-learned
lesson for US In the Brazos work and we
should spend all of our efforts now in one
direction, for the opening of our harbor,
and reap the rewards thereafter. Texas
can well afford many good seaports, and
Neiasco has in her natural tributary terri
tory, fully enough for her enrichment with
out encroaching upon that which will come
to us. interchangeable effort has been re-
warded there and all just men will not envy
their well earned profit. Corpus Christi,
while she still has her same great hope for a
fine harbor, has shown none of the spirit
manifested elsewhere which seeks to cry
down and belittle a worthy acc mplish-
ment. Confident in her many advantages,
she can afford to be above anything save
honorable rivalry with all ether Texas sea-
ports Corpus Christi Caller.
The example set by the Caller might
be followed by the few newspapers in
Texas that seek to discredit the boom
of deep water at Velasco.
For years Texas has been praying for
deep water, for years Texas has been
told of the great good to come to the
state through deep water, but when
deep water has been secured at Velasco
few Texas newspapers permit them
selves to be influenced by jealousy,
prejudice Or disappointment, and seek
to discredit that which the state has
been SO long hoping and Striving for.
Surely the acquisition of deep water
at any point on the Texas coast should
cause all the state to rejoice and be ex-
ceeding glad. Deep water is the full
fllment Of long years of promise, deep
water will divert Northwestern ship
ments to the benefit of Texas. deep
water will increase the population, the
trade and the wealth OF Texas, and deep
water should be welcomed by every
Texas newspaper as it is by the Corpus
Christi Caller. And Texas newspapers
in and out OF Galveston that seek to
disparage what for years they have
professed to work for viii not be able
to obstruct the progress of the state
made possible by deep water at We
lasco. Deep water at Velasco speaks
for itself, and the good to result will be
measured by people for themselves
without reliance on those who are actu-
ated by jealousy, prejudice or disap-
pointment.

AN uncontradicted report is going
around through the papers that the
city council of Dallas had appropriated
$4,000 as bonus to secure the loca-
ton of packing-house in that city.
We do not know what authority the
city charter of Dallas gives it in appro-
priating the public funds for such pur-
poses, but if any such authority is
granted by that instrument it is con-
trary to that clause of the state consti-
tuition which declares that ''no county,
city or other municipal corporation
shall hereafter become subscriber to
the capital of any private corporation
or association, or make any appropria-
ton or donation to the same, or in any
wise loan its credit" If the National
butchers association has set its heart
on an appropriation from the Dallas
city council it must nerve itself to bear
the chagrin of disappointment.

vARRyNG OVER THE DEAD.

It appears that Parnell dead is going
to be name to conjure by. His fol-
lowers are already bringing up his
hard treatment to excite the Irish fol-
lowers OF his fortunes to renewed &C.
tivity. He is held up as much abused
man, whose proud heart was broken by
his friends turning upon him, and who
was driven to the grave by their in
gratitude and the venom of the En-
glish. The plan Of the Parnen party
in Ireland is plainly to make a martyr
of Palnell.
That will he hard thing to do. 1t
is well to speak nothing but good OF
the dead" but when the living attempt
to make shield Of the dead, the vul-
nerable places in that shield will not
remain untouched. The friends of the
late Irish leader will show the greatest
respect for him by letting his name
and the recent history that that name
recalls sleep in the peace of the grave.
Mr.. Parnell did an act that dis
honored him in the minds of his people.
1t is to the credit of the Irish nation
that their sense of virtue revolted at
the defilement of the family, and that
they repudiated the leadership of the
man whom they had delighted to
honor, with no thought of condoning
his offense against morality because he
was a great man. 1t was not the Eng
lish enemies OF Ireland who overthrow
Parnsll, but the Irish friends of virtue,
who knew that under the leadership of
such man their struggle for Ireland
was hopeless. In three parliamentary
contests among Irish constituencies,
where the issue was clearly made be-
tween Parnellism and anti-Parnellism,
his candidates were defeated. His fol-
lowers in parliament deserted him and
chose another leader. The patriotism
of such men as Healey, Mccarthy,
Davitt, and others cannot be doubted
men whose loyalty to Ireland has been
tested by persecution and imprison-
ment. To prescribe these men because
they threw off the leadership OF man
who had brought disgrace upon himself
and discredited the cause for which he
stood, will be a harder thing to do than
the very indiscreet friends Of Mr.. Par
nell have any thought of.
The kindest thing to the dead and
the most considerate thing for the iv-
ing is to drop Parnell's name and come
together for the good of all Ireland.
Let the body of Patroclus lie as il fell,
and spend the blood Of his friends
against the general enemy.

What to Eat.
New York Sun.

Lillian Russell, in reply to q writer's
question In regard to the complexion, says ::
81 hold that plain food, very little wine, a
great deal less ice water and plenty of ex-
ercise do more for the beauty of the skin
than all the preparations known to the
chemist. Whatever oyertaxes or pros
trates the action Of digestion affects the
whole system. II the stomach is out of or
der the complexion will be unhealthy. Ex-
ercise, regular and systematic, is the price
of my health. Before retiring battle my
face in hot water, in which few drops of
tincture OF benzoin have been dissolved,
making milk white, soapy, fragrant bath.
After thorough washing l rinse it in cold
water and dry we'll. I then apply very
little cold cream, working it into the skin
with my hands until my face perspires at
every pore and rub with flannel until it is
dry. After my bath in the morning dust
my face with little pure rice powder. That
catches the dust that otherwise would
lodge in the pores Of my. face. l always
wear veil in dusty, windy weather and
also when travelling, to keep the SCOT and
smoke from getting into my lungs and skin.
There isn't much to tell, you see, and the
only secret about good complexion is good

hear of the dismissal until to-day,
although the decisive action was
taken by the board of directors of the COM
pany at meeting held late yesterday even
ing. Vice-President Clapp Spooner at the
same meeting handed in his resignation.
Both men are charged with malfeasance
in Office The alleged malfeasance in Office
for which President Hoey was removed and

Mr.. Hoey was present. he
eluded the reporters Clarence
A. Seward presided. Mr.. Sanford arose
and asked MIR. Hoey to resign his position
on tne DOafu OF directors. MI. ftOey natly
refused. He said that the direct

presidency, but it was beyond
their power to displace him as director.
He is reported to have made quite a speech.
No objection was made TO his sitting as

THE WORLDS FAIR.
President Hurley and Secretary Bryan
Talking It at Galveston.

Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX. Oct. ia Worlds
fair mass-meeting was held tonight at Har-
mony hall for the purpose of stimulating an
interest in the movement to have Galveston
city and county properly represented at
the Worlds fair in Chicago. The meet
ing was well attended, and President
Hurley and Secretary Bryan of the
Texas Worlds fair commission, made patri-
otto and eloquent addresses, in which they
outlined the scope and extent of the exhibit
to be made by Texas, and the progress al
ready made to this end, which they said
was quite hattering, aud promised to
be fruitful of grand results. Then Mr. Hur-
ley appealed strongly 70 Galveston, as the
chief commercial city ofthe state, to prompt
ly contribute her quota toward the erection
Of the Texas exhibit building, and then
prepare to exhibit therein such display of
her products and possibilities as would at
tract to her and the great state of which
she was the commercial mistress,
the attention of the entire civilized
world. Much, they said, was expected of
Galveston, and they believed she would
meet these expectations in her usual gen.
erous manner and make display that
would equal, If not eclipse, that of any other
city at the Columbian exposition.
Col x. G. Street, in his usual happy
manner, spoke in behalf Of Galveston, and
expressed the belief that her citizens would
respond promptly and generously, and do
her share in making an exhibit that would
be alike credit 70 the city and the state.
At the conclusion Of Col. Streets remarks
the meeting adjourned.
Tomorrow Messrs. Huntley and Bryan
will have conference with the county
Worlds fair committee, after which it is
expected the work on behalf Of Galveston
viii be pushed vigorously
