There is always an interest in trousseaus:
not in the least the sentimental interest
that might be expected, for trousseaus are
not gotten up for sentiment, but tor style.
To me, indeed. they seem always partlcu-
larly heartless affairs, for they usually tire
a woman out so thoroughly that she
ceases to take a very lively interest
in getting married. Nevertheless mere
is a fine afternoon frock that was
built Il few DAYS ago for a trousseau.
I ask pardon for letting the odious built
slip in. 1t is as pictured, of black embrol-
dered grenadiue gauZe; the skirt has a front
panel of finely cut jet, that glitters and
tinkles n takes a great deal of sewing to
keep it in order, and ia quite heavy. Az the
sides are grenadine folds edged with SOFT
embroidered gauzo frills. The bodice mas
a square yoke of jet and a basque OF gauze
with embroidered frills coming to a point
! in front, and with full sleeves caught above
and below the show with frills.

Another evening dress brocaded in a

deep iounce of lace edged with a delicate
gold passementerie, little gold bows looping

gold bows at the throat and on the sleeves.
An afternoon frock for the country IS of

smart and becoming. 1t has an understand

Senator A. p. German, upon
whom the eyes OF the Democrats
OF the country are now admiringly
fixed, on account Of his mastery
conduct Of the fight against the in
iquitous Force bill, is a man be-
tween forty-five and fifty, of me-
dun size and quiet manners. His
face is smoothly shayen and is pale.
He hos large and handsome brown
eyes, capable of great expression.
Every day that the Senate sits ne
walks to and from the Capitol, un-
less the weather should be very
stormy, indeed. His Washington
home Is on Rhode Island avenue,
near Seventeenth street. There he
stays most Of the time when he is
not occupied with his Senatorial or
social duties, surrounded by bis
wife, his daughters and his son,
who is about to enter Johns Hop
kins University. The Senator's
tastes are domestic and literary.
There are few better private librar-
les in Washington than his. That
he should have been selected by ell
the Democrats in Congress as their
leader in the battle against the Re-
publican attempt to rule this coun-
try by fraud and force is simply .
tribute to the divine right of brains.
Mr.. German is BY no means self.

opponents realize that he has all the
points at command, and that any

Senator German has grown upon

In 1888 he was also of great service

TO say that to his effective conduct

intense heat and binding smoke put an
end to further progress. An attempt
was made to reverse the course of the
train and retreat but it was too late.
The train Was overtaken and caught

and sought safety in a creek that flowed

Several More Northern Michigan Towns
Destroyed by Fires.
DETROIT, May 12.--The Toledo, Ann
Arbor and Northern Michigan railroad
has been obliged to abandon all attempts
to run cars north of the Clare county
line, on account Of the forest fires. The
wind shifted during the night and drove
the fire into Newaygo, Mecosta and
Oceana counties. Cooks station and
Barton have not been heard from, and
are supposed to be destroyed. Every
thing in Lilly, Park City and Otia has
been burned. These villages had pop
ulat1on of 300 each. West Troy, a few
miles north of 0tia, has been swept by
fire since early morning, and is supposed
to be in ashes. Where Nivarnia and
Fremont, on the Flint and Pere Mar
quette road, once stood is nothing now
but pile of ashes. The village of Lake
has not been heard from since its last
appeal for help Sunday. Seas of fire
are sweeping through the woods neal
Red Cloud, Newaygo county, while
more than 100 miles away across the
state the little hamlet of Taft is in a
gulf of fame. The latest news from
Traverse City is to the effect that the
entire population Is out fighting fire.
