tive land. But now he has achieved his
object quietly and in a manner entirely m.
suspected, though not unprecedented, and
the most radical republican among his
countrymen can hardly find it in his heart
to object. He has had u necktie named after
him and is thereby enrolled among the i'm
mortals without the assistance or consent
of the Academic Franchise.
Incidentally. though of less Importance
OF course, it may be mentioned that the
prince has recently completed his memoirs,
and they will soon be given to the world.
They ought to make interesting reading,
for the prince has seen much of the world
in the IS years of his life and has Il rare lit.
erary faculty for narrating what he has
seen. He has some new stories to relate,
too, it is said, of the court of his father,
Louis Philippe. His account of his expert.
ences in the French navy, for which he was
bred and in which he rose to the rank OF
vice admiral, should be very valuable, and
1t will be interesting to note the opinions
OF our W country, acquired by him dur
ing his visits here.
The prince has been undoubtedly a brave
man. AT Vera Cruz he captured General
Arista with his own hand, and he served
with distinction at Mogadore, in Morocco.
He begged for employment in any capacity
with the army of France in the Franco
Prussian wal, and under the title of Colo
mel Lutherod managed to do u little fight
ing for his country. Gambetta was afraid
of his influence, however, and banished
him from France, but he was soon pack
again and was elected to the assembly. In
1856 he was banished again by the gen
eral law of expulsion, and his name was
stricken from the rolls of the navy. He
has written n good deal on naval matters
for The Revue DIES Deux Mondes and has
published several works, but his memoirs
will be of greater interest than all the rest
together,

cry, though in following this model that
could be left of, and plain stitching or mar
row braid could be substituted. The skirt
basque effect is quite new, but has immedi-
ately found favor.
Basques, when not cut on the gown or
waist, are often simulated by sewing a ruff
he, a puff or turret points around the bot
tom of the waist. Some of these portions
OF the waist are %''sprung," which means
that they are cut out nearly in a circle and
the outer edges left to fall into whatever
shape they will. Sometimes the waist will
have bretelles of velvet or plush, and this
frill, or whatever else it may be, is of the
same material.
One model had double bretelles of bias
velvet green shot with crimson, and the
belt and basque skirt of the same all Dor
fine gray cheviot. The skirt had two or
three wrinkles thrown forward. Around
the bottom was a wide band of the ''shot-
ted' velvet A1th three narrow rows of fur
trimming. TO my mind a brown trim
ming would have been more genteel. There
was a short cape to match this, with a bias
band of the velvet set up about three inches
from the edge, and the fur binding was
placed on the lower edge. 1t was a stylish
suit and passed where it would not have
done SO year ago, when quieter colors were
worn.
A rich and elegant manner in which to
make up the cordurettes and the two toned
velours would be to have, say for a rush and
sage greer mixed %velours, a plain seven gored
skirt, with a wide band of dull indigo blue
broadcloth, the top cut down in s~callops,
edged with narrow black soutache, set on in
fine loops all around the skirt. The basque
to be of the blue, with an edging Of loop
all around, and cut up in slashes at every
seam. A little fine braiding on the slashes
would q to it. 1t is to close in front with
narrow braid and small silk buttons-mili-
tary style. The upper sleeves are to be set
IN two puffs Of the velours and the fore
arms OF cloth. This is an elegant model.
but is only for women of good figure. 9th
ers would do better to cover the waist and
hid its defects with revers, rufles or some
other one of the devices dressmakcrs in
vent.
The palmer the wooden goods are made
up the more refined and elegant they look,
and the palmer they are made the more
carefully they must he finished. The seams
must look as if they grew together. Dress
making has been brought to a fine art al
most, and it is not an easy matter to make
a tailor finished gown, as / have found to
my cost this past week. Still, with care,
the amateur may succeed.
The laces for this season are very rich
and elegant, particularly the black silk
bourbon and spanish. l have seen a little
black silk guipure recently and much bead
ed colored lace. %Flouncings in ecru are
seen n are used upon almost everything.
Point de venice is q rich lace now made BY
machine and used for insertions and fiat
trimmings, with ecru or white to match.
When new. it is difficult to tell the real
from the imitation, but a few days wear
shows the false and true.

have two toned effects. Panama suiting is
the name of another line, differing little en-
cept in weight, from vicuna.
The French goods have rather more poet
ic names this season than usual. Some Of
them translated mean "cross shadows"
fancy flying" "%changeable scarabee,"
flowing ice" winter Grape curled' and
"horse hair tissue" Also there are Iris
fantasy" frosted basket and shaded
stripes" All these relate to new wooden or
silk and wooden goods for winter dress.
Among the new materials for cloaks I
noticed heavy broadcloth, kerseys. beaver,
corduroy, astrakhan aud heavy cheviot.
These are for ordinary wear. For evening
there was one piece of exquisite goods. It
was a pearl gray and white wool brocade,
II 1t was woven so that the white hairs
stuck out in such q manner as to overshad-
ow the gray. 1t WAS to be made in wraps
for balls, opera, etc, and to be lined as the
wearer preferred, with fur, satin or oriental
striped silk.
The brocaded wool in black is an elegant
material for handsome coats or wraps. A
suit recently sent from Paris had the skirt
of the finest silk warp henriet,e, the back
laid in deep plaits and the front covered
with heavy courtauld Grape. The coat was
full in the skirt in the back and cut to fit
the figure at the waist, both back and
front. The wide lapels were covered with
Grape. The coat was made of fine black
wooden brocade. This suit was lined with
silk throughout and cost $495. Why not
even $500 l cannot imagine.
The goods used in making women's coats
is not much lighter than that for those Of
gentlemen with the exception of chinchilla.
l have seen many capes made of beaver and
pilot cloth. and also the thick plaids that
some men affect. The cheviots for mems
coats and trousers are very little thicker
h those fabrics for women. Mems coats
are being cut much longer thar they nave
been, and the large incroyable revers aud
lapels are seen to a marked degree on mems
frock coats and overcoats. Getaways for
gentlemen look to the uninitiated eye just
as they always did, but the tailor says they
are several inches longer.
And how are all these new goods to be
made? \ pretty style for plaid-and one
quite novels TO have the skirt quite plain,
gigot sleeves and n vest jacket corsage
hanging loosely over a belt OF cherry vel
vet. This style of vest is cut slightly dou-
BILE breasted and has three pockets. The
wide Loie Fuller collar has a second one
which is simply sprung and has still
another with revers of white billiard cloth
edged with a band of persian embroidery.
There is a white chemisette front and
mans collar and tie.
The cloth gowns and fine cheviots and
solid colored materials would look we'll
made up with a skirt of the same or a very
artistically contrasted color. The skirt is
plain, and the front of the waist should be
like it. The overdress reaches to the bot
tom and forms a part of the skirt in the
back. There is a basque effect quite deep,
and this, with the cuffs and lapels, gives the
costume Il distinction and grace that no one
would do i'll to follow. All the edges of the
over portion are outlined with fine embroid-

mosphere Of the senate chamber or cloak
rooms, with but ar occasional half hours
nap on a sofa, have been dangerously near
an illness ever since. Among those who
made the mistake of overestimating their
strength was Senator Stewart of Nevada.
For several weeks Mr.. Stewart had been
boasting us to what he would do when the
climax came on.
At one time he offered to make IL speech 80
days long. At another time he proposed to
hold the senate every alternate night, alone
and single handed. Later he reduced the
estimate length of his address to four DAYS.
and finally to 90 hours, but when he came
to apply his theories and boasts to actual
practice six or eight hours was as long as
he felt BILE to hold the floor. He could
not have held it this long had it not been
for frequent Interruptions for roll calls or
the intersection of remarks by other sena-
ators.
AT one time Senator Stewart begged the
presiding officer to maintain better order
in the chamber, saying that he was much
interested in his own remarks and wished
to have the pleasure of hearing what he
himself had to say. Senator Stewart is re-
markable old man, full Of energy and vital
1ty, but he has learned the lesson which
many other elderly senator's also learned
during this ordeal-that years will tell even
upon the strongest physiques.
The Impress of Conviction.
The leader about whom most anxiety was
felt by his friends during the trying days
and nights of the silver battle was Mr..
Teller of Colorado. Upon Mr.. Teller's
shoulders has fallen the brunt of the bat
tie waged by the silver people. He has
been their leader in council and in buttle.
he has been in his seat almost every noun
since the struggle began. The strain upon
his nervous system and his will power has
been as great as that upon his physical con-
stitution. Moreover, Mr.. Teller has been
the most earnest and passionate of ull the
participants in this great Legislative COM
bat. His heart, his mind, his body, all his
powers and instincts have been cOncentrat-
ed upon the one idea of preventing uncon-
ditlonal repeal of the Sherman act and the
striking down of silver as money.
AS is usually the case with men who de-
vote themselves to one idea throughout q
long series of years., Mr.. Teller has become
not cranky, not abnormal, but dangerously
near thereto in the extreme of his devotion
and curnestncss. Several times during the
progress Of She fight he made speeches in
which it was evident he controlled his feel
ings only with the greatest difficulty. The
tears fairly came to his eyes, and his frame
shook with emotion.
On one OF these occasions, during the
hnnd to hnid fighting, Mr.. Teller nude ono
OF the most passionate speeches ever heard
In the senate chamber. He declared that he
would fight this bill to the bitter end, and
THAT In 80 doing he was supported by his
conscience an. ny the people Of the country.

L%OBENGULA'S PLIGHT
THE CRISIS THAT CONFRONTS THE
KING OF MATABELELAND.
Important Interests Involved In the Issue
of His Contest With the White Settlers.
History of the DifAculty-Characteristics
of the warlike

1t is a strange crisis that confronts old
L~obenGula, the most powerful native mon
arch Of South Africa. For nearly 80 years
has he reigned over the fierce and warlike
Matabeles. His word is law. His will is
absolute. His race is paramount. His in
vincible impis have levied tribute from the
surrounding nations, spreading terror and
dismay before them and leaving death and
desolation in their wake.
For generations have the Matabcles lived
by looting the miserable Mashonas and pill
laying the %pusillanimous Makalakas. They
disdain to perform any kind of manual la
Dor. Warfare is their proudest occupation
and murder their highest art.
Robbery and slaughter are the objects of
those dreaded raids for which the Matabeles
are notorious. When it is known that {, 1000
or 5000 warriors sometimes participate In
these expeditions, the horrible deeds of
carnage may be imagined. Thousands Of
helpless and unresisting victims are ''eatcn
up" as the Zulus express it.
The men are slain without scruple, the
women and children are made captives, and
the cattle are driven off to swell the focks
Of the conQuerors. The females are en-
shaved, and if fair and fat enough may at
tain the dignity of wifehood. The male
children are taught to WELD the assegai
and in time recruit the army of the king.
At last the poor, prosecuted Mushona has
found a defender in the doughty British
