The modish girl has dawned upon
this city In all the beauty of full spring
regalia. She has asked not almanac or
seer If her glory might appear, nor has
she consulted the weather bureau or
the weather prophets She has simply
come to earth like spring poem.
Where Is she? She is here, there and
everywhere. What Is she wearing?
This, that and every other color, so
long as It is white and soft and heecy
and gay and sparkling and bejewelled.
No end of white dresses are seen, or,
at least, If they are not quite white, they
are very near it--such very light gray
that there is almost no color In it.
These white, or light gray dresses are
tailor made and tied back and sur
mounted by pancake hat or hat
with ever so many blush roses upon It.
New Workers have complained that 1t
was not fashionable to wear white
dresses In the street In town. and that
they were obliged to save all their white
gowns for use at the country, seashore
or mountains. But this year the mod
istes tell us that white win be the most
fashionable thing to be seen on our
streets.
The most exquisite white India silks
are made for morning or afternoon wear.
They are plain and gathered all around
with very little fullness In front and
q small fan plating in the back. Three
or four tucls run around the skirt with
hemstitching at the top Of each tuck
and great broad hem with hemstitch-
ing at the top is at the bottom Of the
skirt. These skirts are beautiful In
their delicate creamy softness and they
are moreover extremely graceful and
becoming to nearly all wearers.
Under the India silk skirt, II It IL
plainly made, must go q poplin, alpaca
or white muslin skirt, to keep the India
silk from falling in about the legs.
The India dress skirts as sold In the
stores are not lined, have no stiffness in
them and fall perfectly fimsy and soft
so OF course something is demanded In
the way of petticoat to give frmness
and foundation. The petticoat thus be.
comes an important part Of the cos
tune, for the India silk dress is so light
that 1t easily blows up, revealing the
kirt underneath, and when the weare,

A Japanese boy who works in a San

picturesque complaint to the officers: ITO
day went to the club to get my wages.
The steward, Mr.. John, ordered me to
leave, with many repetitions Of abominable
oaths which man of some honor can't re-
strain his passion from revolt on such a
violent shower of curse. Anger was be-
yond my control, and involuntarily l re.
turned my share of compliments, upon
which he snatched the potato masher and
was brutal enough to give me two severe
blows Cd my person, and inflicting quite
painful injury. Through all this affair ]
was never offensive. When went there
to demand the money to which was en-.
titled he uniustly enjoined me to get out.
That is au unreasonable movement and
cannot fail to hurt mans feelings.

a whale caugn. xapp,nr.

"oh, yes; know this is the season for
fish stories, but what / am telling you Is q
fact, youched for by all hands," indignant
ly remarked Ship Chandler John Reece, in
reply to some incredulous smiles upon the
part OF his auditors. Mr.. Reece, as is his
custom Of an afternoon when the cares Of
business permit, had been RECALLING the
habitues Of his captains rooms with some
OF his racy sea stories, and the talk had
turned on whaling. s.-
talking Of whales" he suddenly ex-
claimed, when my friend, Captain Pearn,
now commanding the steamship Circas-
sian Prince, had charge of the Ocean Spray,
he met with an extraordinary adventure.
The vessel in question was on her way to
Lisbon, and while crossing the Bay Of Bis
cay one night she brought up with most
tremendous shock. Captain Pearn was
below at the time, but rushed on deck fully
believing that the Ocean Spray was foul Of
another vessel.
The lookout came flying aft with hair
standing on end and covered with blood.
As nothing could be made of the incoherent
explanations of the dumfounded sailor, a
movement was made for'ad and the mys-
terry was solved. A huge whale was
athwart the cutwater, partly severed in
Two, the dolphin striker, or to use mod
ern term, martingale, sticking into his
back. The cetacean was fully seventy feet
long, and had evidently gone into his death
furry. While they were gazing at the
monster the plunging Of the vessel in the
waves-it was blowing a nine knot breeze
released the carcass and foated it off to
leeward. In the morning, when the watch
was called on to wash decks, it was seen
that the forecastle, foot of foretopmast
staysail and inner jib were sprayed with
blood.
The lookout man said that the blood
spurted up like fountain, and as he was
standing just by the weather cathead he
got the full benefit of it. When the Ocean
Spray was locked it was discovered that
seven or eight sheets of copper had been
torn off the stem The whale was proba-
bly, asleep at the time.-Philadelph In

hlaryIand AlIlance Mem.

. BAIT1MoRE, August 11.-With their
blood at boiling heat the members Of
the Maryland FarIners' Alliance per.
splred and wrangled In hot hall in
this city to-day. Owing to the fruit
season being at its height number OF
the lower peach-growing counties were
not represented.
Delegates were present from sixteen
counties, and although President
Hugh Mitchell, in opening the proceed.
iDgs, talked of the harmony existing
among the Maryland farmers, the SUBJ
sequent conduct OF some OF the dele
gates showed that he had formed q
wrong impression OF their tempera-
ment.
Finally the matter was referred to
the Committee on Resolutions but tho
indications are that the Convention
nation.
Charges were made that John BAN
non and General Frank Bond, leading
Democrats in the county, had made
the chief organizer drunk, and
while In that condition had induced
him to establish sub-Alliance.
The County Alliance had investiga-
tod this charge some time ago and re-
fused to sustain 1t. After long and
bitter wrangling, during which every
delegate had his FAY, the decision of
the County Alliance was overruied and
the entire Anne Arundel County dele-
CATION was ousted.
Under the presentation OF creden-
tlais there was an exciting fight on the
admission of the Anne Arundel county
delegation. Professor Samuel Gamer,
teacher OF French in tho United States
Naval Academy, and Editor W. s.
Ridgely, of Annapolis, objected to
their admission on the ground that n
In the county, which took
part in their selection, had been ille-
gally arranged,
When Cecil county delegate SUISSE
quently offered n resolution that tho
Convention indorse Frank Brown, tho
Democratic nominee for Governor,
there was another row. Several dele
gates from Eastern Shore counties
shouted that Brown had never declar-
ed himself for Alliance principles.

Banks originated for the purpose of ap-
pealing to the poor and the institutions OF
England and of Europe generally have Re.
tanned that feature. In this country the
depositors of the savings banks up to with
in IA comparatively short time were found
to belong almost entirely to the middle
and comfortable class Of people, who could
annually place an amount, small or large,
in the bank without being obliged to deny
themselves any comforts or luxuries. I'm
like similar institutions across the Attain
tic, the savings banks here do not seem to
appeal specially to the humble wage earn
ers, and mike no effort to secure saviRgs
from children or to educate them along
the line of thrift and economy. Indeed,
many banks, particularly in this city, re,
fuse the accounts of certain classes OF PEG
pie who would be gladly welcomed as de-
positors in such places MS London, Liver.
pool, Manchester and Glasgow.
During the pllst few years, however, a
number OF institutions designed to secure
small savings have come into existence
and are thriving in various parts of the
country. Dime and nickel savings banks
are among this class.-New York Recorder
