The little yoke may be either round or
square-the little illustration shows a
happy medium. The cloak is plated
instead of gathered to the yoke, with
only narrow heading, and the plaits
are side-plaits running each way from
a broad double box-plait in the center
of the back and from the opening in
front. The sleeves are very full and
plated into the arm-size rather than
gathered, and plated. too, into the vel

stands upright on either shoulder.

The Training Of Girls.

The foundation of society rests on
its homes. The success of our homes
rests on the wives. Therefore. first of
all, teach our girls how to be success
full wives. Begin in their infancy to
develop their characters. Teach them
that jealousy is an immortality, and
gossip vice. Train them to keep the
smallest promise as sacredly as an
oath, and to speak of people only as
they would speak to them. Teach
them to look for the best quality in
everyone they meet, and to notice
other peoples faults only to avoid
them. Train them to do small things
well and to delight in helping others,
and instill constantly into their minds
the necessity for sacrifice for others
pleasure as a means of soul develop
ment. Once given a firm foundation
of character like this, which the poor
est as well as the richest can give to
their girls, and no matter what neces-
sity arises, they will be able to rise
above it.-Womankind.

| is to be gathered all objects of interest
which have occupied prominent places
| in the Columbian exposition. The
amount required for the proper estab-
lishment of this museum will be in the
neighborhood of five million dollars
tits thought that with Mr. Fields one
million and other subscriptions amount
ing to nearly half million there will
be no trouble in raising the necessary
amount. Worlds fair stock to the ex-
tent of fourteen hundred and thirty
thirty-seven shares has also been do
mated to the enterprise, and it is thought
that two million dollars will be real
lied in this way. Such being the facts
the prospects for a magnificent museum
look exceedingly rosy.
There is another proposition before
the people of Chicago, made by Potter
Palmer, of hotel fame, which looks to
the erection of woman's memorial
building on the lake front, for the pur-
pose of concentrating the great work
done by women at the worlds fair.
Mr.. Palmer has expressed his willing
ness to subscribe two hundred thou
sand dollars to such an enterprise. The
proposition is very favorably received
10y all, in view of the untiring efforts
of Mrs. Palmer to make the whole fair
a success. Such building would serve
as a memorial of one of the grandest
women of our times, for such Mrs. Pot
ter Palmer undoubtedly is. Grand in
her ability as leader of women and
serenely grand and gracious in her ele-
waited station in life.
The proposition of Mr.. Palmer will
undoubtedly receive the hearty support
of theswomen who have played such an
important part in the building up of
many of cur charitable and reforma-
tory institutions and who are so earn
estly devoted to the furtherance of our
city's welfare.
In regard to the attendance at the
worlds fair the latest figures, which
are revised and final, place the total of
paid admissions at 21,479,661. The
total number of passes was 6.O59, $50,
making grand total of 81, 53S, $40 per-
sons who passed through the turnstiles
of the great fair.
From the latest returns we also learn
that the subscribers to worlds fair
stock in Chicago will receive ten cents
on the dollar, after the necessary ex
penses of clearing the fair grounds are
betrayed.

Especial Chicago Correspondence |


From the present aspect of affairs at
jackson park it would hardly seem pos
sible that so short time had elapsed
since the place was teeming with the
people of all lands. There is a tinge of
sadness in the air as we view the crum-
bling glories of the most wonderful city
ever erected by human hands. In place
of the surging masses eagerly intent
upon the accumulated wonders of the
entire world we now behold only an oc-
casional wanderer amidst the rapidly
vanishing splendors of the White City.
The edict that was sent forth from
the Administration building on the last
day of the fair was imperative, and no
sooner had it been circulated than dis

Russia-China.

1t may be laid down as a safe gen
eral rule that any and every agreemen:
made between China and Russia must
be detrimental to the interests OF
China-for this simple reason, that
Russia always knows precisely what
she is driving at, while China has never
yet apprehended the true purport of
any convention she has made with a
foreign power, and usually discovers
too late that her confidence in the
magic power of phrases has been mis-
placed
This is especially true of the treaties
aDd protocols she has made with Rus
STA during the past generation; they
have been so many steps in the Rus
sion advance, and such they are likely
to continue.-Blackwo Magazine.

and rubbish, and the vanished SPLENDID,
of our great Columbian year will be
like a tale that is told and dream
that is past.
We hope, however, to perpetuate
somewhat of the glory of our great
exposition in the permanent institu-
tions which are in fair way to become
established; in the Columbian mu-
scum, for instance, which it is believed
will soon take substantial shape.
Within few days past a magnificent
donation for such purpose has been
made by Marshall Field. Chicago's lead
ing dry goods merchant, the same be
ing one million dollars, its payment
made conditional upon the subscription
of sum sufficient to carry out the
project in a manner becoming so great
an enterprise. This was speedily fol-
lowed by promise of two hundred
thousand dollars by George NJ. Pull
man, of parlor-car fame. Other Chicago
capitalists are in line with the project
and it is safe to predict that at an early
day the Chicago Columbian museum
will become an assured thing.
Numerous collections Of historic
relics and curios have been already of
fered and valuable relics of the differ
ent shows of the Midway Plaisance
have been secured for the prospective
museum. among them being the queer
musical instruments of the Javanese,
which are especially priced on account
of their being the property of the
sultan Of Solo and the only instru-
ments of the kind ever sent out from
the island OF Java.
The plan for the new museum is to
reconstruct the Art palace on the city
lake front near the Art institute in a
somewhat modified form, where it will
be equally accessible to the whole city
and most centrally located, and into it

and a young woman, who are believed
to have stolen in Europe and Struggled
over 100, 900 worth of diamonds and
jewalry to this country, are prisoners
in Brooklyn.
Both are fashionably dressed and talk
with a French accent. They describe
themselves as Mrs. Jane Dole, 10, and
Eugene Leroux, 80. The detectives
secured the jewelry. which contained
over 1000 pieces. There was nearly a
bushel of rubies. pearls, diamond ear
rings, diamond rings and diamonds set
in every imaginable way.
C!everest in the World.
The police feel sure that the prisoners
have confederates at large who may
possibly be the principals in big rob
berries. AT any rate, the police are
confident that they have captured two
of the cleverest thieves in the world.
Detective Robert Pinkerton was called
to Brooklyn and after IL hasty investiga-
tion said the prisoners were strangers
in this country.
Detective Corcoran and Hayes fol-
lowed the woman into a pawnshop,
where she pawned q diamond necklace
worth 500 for SO. Then she went to
another pawnbroker and pledged q val
liable diamond for q small sum. When
she came out she was arrested.
The I'M was questioned through
an interpreter. Captain Short got her
to inhibition her wrap and was startled
by the strings of diamonds which hung
from her neck. Thirteen unset stones
were fonnd in ner pocket.

In all over $40, 900 worth of jewelry
was found on her. She said that she
and her husband had lately come from

were living at 90 Berry street.
Detectives visited this address and
found Leroux. They found diamonds

Mrs. Russell, Convicted OF Murder at
Eau Claire, Discharged by
Judge Bailey.
The Invasion OF Her Sacred Rights
by the District Attorney
Helped Her.
without More Evidence the Judge
Would set a Second Yer
diet Aside.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, May 9.-Judge
Bailey has discharged Mrs. Russell,
who was convicted of murder o year
ago. The defense withdrew the plea in
bar and made a motion in arrest Of
judgment which raised all the issues.
Judge Bailey held that Mrs. Russell
had been placed onc in jeopardy and
had not waived her constitutional right
against a second jeopardy for the same
~offense, and also that
Her Most Sacred Rights
had been so invaded by the district at
torney in the telephone episode that a
second trial could not restore them to
her, and that the substitution Of an
other prosecution, however honorable,
could not restore her to the position she
occupied at the commencement. In
closing the Judge said: 1.-THE discharge
Of the accused on these proceedings
May Excite Comment
and lead to an expression unfavorable
to the administration of justice. This
cannot be avoided. It may be urged by
some who have been anxious for the
conviction Of the woman, whether the
evidence was sufficient or not, that
she has escaped punishment on
mere technicalities. In the application
of legal principles such Is not
the case. Her discharge now
saves the county thousands of
dollars. The court is frank enough
to state that unless the evidence given
upon a second trial was moro substan'
tial in its nature, more direct and posi-.
tive, than the evidence given on the
former trial, the court would not, even
If a jury should convict, permit the
verdict to stand"
