THE WASHINGTON SHIP.


A Report Received by the State Department
of Its Reception in Russia.
The following official dispatch, handed yester-
day by the State Department to Miss Barton,
making official announcement of the arrival and
reception Of the Washington ship Tynehead
will be read with grateful interest by the people
OF the city who took 80 generous and graceful
part in sending abroad this immense and val
liable cargo of food.
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,
WASHINGTON, July /, 1892.
Miss Clara Barton, Red Cross Socie ty, WASH
ington, D. C.
Madam: inclose herewith, for your infor-
nation, an extract from q dispatch, No. 204,
from our charge d'affairs in Russia, reporting
the reception accorded the steamer Tynehead
upon its arrival at Riga, with provisions for the
famine-stricken Russia.
am, madam, your obedient servant,
JOHN W. FOSTER.
LEGATION OF THE UNITED STATES,
.- ST. PETERSBURG, June q, 1892
To the Hon. William F. Wharton, Acting Sscre-
tary Of State.
Sir: Although the sending Of the steamer
Tynehead, under the auspices of the American
Red Cross Society and Mr.. B. T. Tillinghast Of
the Davenport Democrat, Iowa, with provisions
1Of tne Iemlne stricken OF Russia. has not formed
the subject of any official communication with
this legation, it is proper, the arrival of the
other vessels from our country on the same
mission Of mercy has been duly reported. to
make statement of the delivery of this the
fourth offering in aid Of the afflicted in certain
provinces Of this empire.
The Tynehead reached Riga ON the 2Sth of
May. 1t was met there by DR.. j. b Hubbell,
general field agent Of the American Red Cross
Society, and Count Andrew Bobrineky, dele
gate OF the special committee under the presi-
dency OF the czarowitz. These gentlemen
had previously at st. Petersburg arranged, IN
conjunction with this legation and the commit
tee Of the British-American Church, for the
distribution Of the cargo Of the Tynehead.
and, with the same dispatch as had attended
the discharge of the other vessels with grain
for the famine sufferers, its freight was in q
few days on its way to the distressed regions
on ten trains, consisting of S07 cars, appor-
TONED over sixteen provinces and consigned to
eighty-two centers or persons for distribution
The reception of the Tynehead at Riga was,
at the request Of DR.. Hubbell and this legation,
less ostentatious but none the less cordial than
that extended to the other vessels. Dr. Hubbell,
having gone directly thence to Moscow, know
little Of the details; but am informed that the
captain Of the Tynehesd was the recipient, as
was the case with the captains of the other
steamers, OF . very handsome testimonial from
Count Bobrineky.
Ihavs the honor to be, &C.,

measure over nine feet high, but it is, neverthe-
less, unique and charming tree. host Of
other trees, planted by persons Of less distinc-
ton, stand scattered among the billowy sea Of
cept Supt. Smith and his assistant Sergt Rey-
nolds, can point them out. The latest memo
rial tree planting here was done last spring by
President Harrison in the White House in
closure. when, with his own hands, he inserted
half dozen little cedars in the ground near
the executive conservatory.
LANDMARKS CONFUSED.
An amusing amount Of confusion and misap-
prehension exists in the city regarding certain
of the more prominent memorial trees but
doubtless this isubut natural. One repeatedly
hears mention of 'the Stanton tree" where
1.-THE Cameron" is meant, the probable explana-
ton being that occasionally the memory Of the
two war Secretaries gets slightly mixed in the

when I meet her feel like advising her to send
for a French woman to show her how to wear
them. She would then learn that French
woman wears her bonnet on her head, and not
perched on a towering coil of hair in an alto
gether ridiculous manner. Nor does a French
wont n ever allow a train to drag behind her on
the side walk, exercising the functions of street
sweeper.
And, speaking Of skirts, let me call your at
tention to the fact that in all wooden materials
it is customary to set off the skirt with ruch-
ing Of the same material. But it is possible to
display great deal Of taste in this matter Of
ruches. One way is to make double ruching
composed of two pleats, set close together and
pinked out on each edge. Another etyle is to
set single ruff1e at the bottom and head it
with guipure lace. Some, however, prefer the
skirt quite plain as shown in my initial illustra-
| ton. Here you see q charming outdoor cos
tune which may be made up either in wool or
silk. In this instance il has q cream ground
with red figure. 1t will be noted that this
dress consists of two parts, a skirt and redin-
cote. The plastron and sleeve puffs are Of red
silk. At the back there is a half belt of the
silk and the cuffs are turned back with the silk.
The yoke is covered with ecru guIpure.

To catch glimpse Of the summer girls
opening splendor you must run down to the
seaside resorts within easy distance Of the

these places to display her daintiest gowns, for
here she is sure to find throngs Of male admir-
ers. You find little else save college bows and

The business man can't go SO far. He must

young man in the twenties is not satisfactory
as a judge Of a brilliant toilet. He knows Q
pretty face when he sees it, but he has not been
educated up to the art Of a gored skirt the
glove fit of a corsage or the proper hang of a
Watteau fold. He is too apt to be dazzled by
the sparkle of two black eyes or led away from
sweet nocturn in two shades of ecru BY the
sweeter voice Of the girl inside.

ON STREETS AND AVENUES.
The special varieties of shade trees planted
along the streets and avenues are selected in
accordance with the requirements of each thor

system, which takes into account the nature Of
the ground, whether level or inclining, the
character Of the soil and the special object to be
subserved. Sixty-fve separate varieties are ex-
tant throughout the city streets, embracing the
maple III species), chestnut, catalpa, white ash.

IN THE CAPITOL GROUNDS.
The most varied and fanciful assortments Of
trees are assembled in the grounds about the Capt.

parks and reservations, where, in addition to
the standard arboreal growths. rare shrubs and
towering plants ad libitum, together with the
fountains, statues and winding paths they pro-
duce the refreshing and delightful effects known
to all resident Washingtonians. but seldom expe-
rienced by jewellers in other cities. Seated at
ease in any Of these parks, one cannot help but
admire without limit.
