THE o'coNNELL MEMORIAL.
The Beautiful Church to Be Shown In Mir

The Beautiful Church to Be Shown In Min
iature at the Fair.
A miniature model in carved stone of
the Daniel O'Connel Memorial church
at Cahirciveen, County Kerry, Ireland,
is among the interesting objects to be
found in the Irish village at the Worlds
fair. Though the church is not itself
completed, the model will of course rep
resent it as it is intended to be when fin
ished, when it will unquestionably DE
one of the handsomest structures in the
world. 1t is now built up to the roof,
but it is estimated that it will take about
$4,000 more to finish it and properly
furnish it. This sum the Rev. Canon
Brosnan, who has devoted himself to the
work, expects to raise, though his expe-
rience teaches that funds come in but
slowly.
The site of the church is a splendid
one in the center of the town of Cahir-
civeen. commanding splendid view Of
the river, with a glimpse of Valentia,
two miles and half away. The edifce
faces the road from Killarney, and an

The pretty short capes are now seen in
primary colors, and also in tints and
shades. Some of them are made to
match costumes and are trimmed as the
wearer's taste dictates, rather than after
any one set pattern, though nearly all of
them have the plated ruff upon the
shoulders. One really superb wrap of
this sort had the collar of ribbed purple
silk edged with black lace. Then came
the ruff of magnificent purple velvet,
which, however, only stood out full
without plaits and reached a little over
the shoulders. Below this was a cape,
reaching to the waist line, made of the
corded silk covered with black thread
lace.
Another beautiful cape in the same
style was of olive green velvet, the plait-
ed ruff and cape lined with pale blue
ribbed silk. There was a standing ruf1e
of lined velvet at the neck.
But these short capes are by no means
made of velvet alone. It is quite the
thing to have them Of black silk or CASH
mere to match gowns and lined with
plain, light colored silk or changeable
taffetas. Some of them are of colored
goods, with black lace frills and narrow
bead trimmings. One of the prettiest of
this style is of drab cloth, with rich black
lace ruf1e and beading around the bot
tom. The upper cape, which overlaps it,
has two rows Of very narrow passenen-
terie and another fall of lace above and
the passementerie arranged SO as to give
the appearance of v shaped lapels. The
upper cape has row of beads sewn to
it at intervals of one inch. Thismodel
could be followed more or less closely,
and no matter how changed or of what
material it was made it would be
pretty and dressy cape.
Let us cast our longing eyes over the
new things in the way of dress goods.
They are so pretty and so choice that
one thinks that, like the wine at Cana,
the best has been reserved to the last.
In wash dress fabrics there is new We
lours de russo which is 43 inches wide
and costs about rs cents per yard. It
looks like heavy corded silk and is in all
the richest colors, SO that truly elegant

ranted to, wash well. There are also sew
eral new ideas, all of them good, in
French embroidered ginghams Some Of
them have large plaids, and on the CEN
tiers of the plaid nearest the foot are en-
broidered dainty fowerets in natural but
fast colors.
Besides these there are some lovely
openwork crinkles in the tan and ecru
shades and large line of empire brocade
sateens, some of them as rich and lus-
trous as silk. There are also sateens
with india silk designs, with bright
luster, and others of foulard pattern.
These sateens are all entirely new. At
first there were other designs put for
ward, which, though beautiful consid-
cred as works of art, did not seem to
please, but these are already filling that
long felt want we hear of SO often.

to pay $40 as damages for having given

recommendation of the servant enabled

LOuR6menC IN -FOUR bOuY.
The coming summer will be alive with
interest. The dreaded Asiatic Cholera
threatens US, and the Columbian Exhibi-
ton diverts our thoughts to pleasanter
things. Everyone is awake to watchful-
ness in the former, and all are hoping the
scourge may be kept away.
Scientists state that Cholera is always
introduced into the system through the
stomach.
The food we eat and the water we
drink are our sources of danger.
Cholera says one, will not develop
if the person exposed is perfectly healthy.
1t is the weak, debilitated and improper
ly nourished who are prey to epidemics."
Here is the danger to many.
The Worlds Fair will tempt them to
Chicago. A change of water,-at all
times more or less harmful,-is doubly
dangerous, from the fact that the city
water of Chicago has been pronounced
vile and unfit for drinking purposes.
Spring waters will be sold, of course, but
their origin will be unknown, and the
temptation to quench ones thirst at every
opportunity will often be yielded to, re-
gardless of consequences.
Careless eating and drinking. if the
system is run down, will be sure to pro-
duce, if not Cholera, at least an attack
of some sort.
Officials will be on the alert for cases
of suspected sickness.
How would you feel in strange city,
hundreds of miles from home, to find
yourself in a hospital, cut off from all
communication with your friends
Then look out
Fortify your system now with the
timely use of Kings Sarsaparilla, med
icine commended by the medical pro-
fession as preventive of disease.
Put your system in perfect order by
few weeks use of Kings Sarsaparilla
and you need have no fear. You will
find yourself able to withstand fatigue,
your muscles will be strong and hard,
your nervous system as reliable as
piece of fine machinery, your digestive
organs able to asslmmilate all kinds of
food. Your attacks of indigestion, fire.
