Newport coast, when she was not look

hat was trimmed with roses.
The dominance of red is pronounced.
Behind the usual coachman with the
usual white breeches with their usual
pale pink tops there sat yesterday
afternoon a handsome woman in red
and black and gold. Her cape was of
Roman red bengaline, and it had a
broad applique in black frightened
with yellow. On her shoulders were
red chiffon rufles which ran down her
back out of sight. Her skirt was Of
striped red and black silk, and her hat
of Roman red straw trimmed with black

WASHINGTON, July 1S-The Mississippi
river commission has submitted its report
to the secretary of war, giving detailed
statement of the work accomplished in the
improvement of the river during the past
year, and the plan of repairs for the
present year. The present high water has
caused two new breaks in the river near
Memphis, which will be repaired during
the coming season. The levees required
an expenditure of several millions of dol
lars to put them in state of reasonable
security against great floods. In referring
TO the improvement of the river channel

THE WONDER OF ALASKA.

Hundred Feet High.
The Muir glacier, which is the great
wonder of Alaska, was doubtless dis
covered by Vancouver in 1894, but Prof
John Muir was the first to describe it
Muir inlet, at the head of the Glacier
bay, is the termination of this great
river of ice.'' The wall of blue ice is
there mile long and about 400 feet
high.
1t is worn into towers, castles and
caverns, and is continually discharging
fragments from the size of a paving
stone to that of Cologne cathedral
These falling into the sea cast up the
spray for hundreds CT feet into the air,
and send forth waves which dash upon
the shores and echo like thunder among
the mountains.
The Muir glacier is really a sea Of ice,
with numerous branches in the valley,
any one OF which is as large as the
Gomar of Aietsch glacier of Switzer-
land.
1t is, according to Mr.. S. P. Baldwin,
a recent visitor, as large as all the Al
pine glaciers in one, being l ,2c0 square

of ice as icebergs, and 1T5, 600, 600 600

Prof. Wright has found the motion at

| Newport gardeners to three and four
| times it roadside size. From huge blue
and yellow jars it incensed the walters,
and girls in pink and girls in white
wore it at their girdles-
Miss Maud Wetmore was decked with
it as she spun about with her betrothed,
Mr.. Barton Willing, in guise as simple
as if she were not a millionaire's
daughter and sisterelect of Mrs. John
Jacob Astor. Her white null frock
hung down straight and full over slip
of yellow silk, and she had a broad yel-
low sash at her waist and yellow Wat
teau bows streaming from the half-low
bodice behind. The roses were thrust
inside the sash and pinned at her
bosom, and when they faded some one
pulled more for her from the jars that
helped the palms and ferns to hide the
orchestra.
The first show of summer evening
dress at Newport is always interesting.
There were low, square cut bodices such
as women wore about the time Victoria
was proposing to Prince Albert and re-
joicing that her suit was accepted.
There were chemisette bodices covered
with lace and of many varieties. There
were wide, full lace bretelles that ran
over the shoulders and down to the
waist, and that waved up and down
with the rise and fall of the music like
butterflies wings.
There were Swiss girdles of many
colors in narrow ribbons that knotted
themselves here, there and everywhere
into bows, and afforded all sorts Of
chances for bright jeweled pins and the
heads of brighter flowers.
There were loose, fluffy Stuart puffs
of lace or silk, that ran about tn skirts
of the dancers dresses and made them
look as if they had been turned up to
keep them off the dust of the floor.
There were snoods of ribbon, blue
or pink or white or yellow, wound in
and out among the braids and twists OF
the dancers hair, and there were other
ribbons that foated yards in air from
their waists and necks, threatening
to lasso friend and foe indiscriminate-
ly, and filing the ballroom with rain
bows.

The Queer Fate of an Inquisitive p
Beaver.

The Queer Fate of an Inquisitive Pet
Beaver.
A tame beaver kept by the soldiers at
fort in Wyoming became quite famous
for nisa sagacity. Caught while young
and perfectly tanned, he became very
docile and great favorite at the fort.
The little fellow could never be cured
of his instinct to build dams, and it is
related that he once undertook to dam
the Platte river, working for months all
night long, and returning to the fort
every morning at sunrise. He cut down
quite a number of trees, but life proved
too short for the completion of his
plans. While around the fort he was
constantly turning over every kind Of
vessel that contained water and collect
ing sticks to head it off as it flowed
away. One night by oversight the
beaver was locked up in the warehouse,
and during the night, in nosing around,
he discovered ten-gallon can of mo-
lasses that had been left uncovered.
That discovery proved his doom The
next day he was found gasping for life,
having been caught in the sticky mass
as the can was overturned He never
recovered from the shock, and was ten
derly buried in the presence of large
circle of his friends.
