Special Letter TO the Globe.
New YORK, Sept. 2l.-Have we men
been wisest after all when we chose
simple and severe black and white ia
which to whirl around at our feteS and
balls, to speak in at our dinners, to war
bic in at our concerts, in short, TO per-
form all our society functions in-waS
there Il deeply thought-Out reason in
this? Did we fOreSee that quiet har-
mony IS the one thing to strive for, IN
dress as in everything else in life? Is
that the reason that the evening dress
OF man Is as Interchangeable as the laws
Of the MCdeS and PerSianS?
But woe! Woe! to the brunette! It is
all very we'll tor Il deiicately fair woman,
whom lei enemies might call washed
out, tO robe herself III a gown of sable
crepe de chine-one of Il Ose ancient
modern gowns, don't YOU knoW?-wtth
. berthe forming SlOping shoulders,
large balloon sleeves. and a skirt with
4 tendency to fuilnes, with those
lines of jet running down it
that are all the rage just now.
"She can stick jet dagger in her head
and 90 forth to victory, but it is not
matter for happiness for the dark wom-
an-the woman who is said to light up
WELL" phrase which sounds as though
that particular kind of woman were
rather Of combUstible nature and had
sort of affinity with Guy Fawkes, but
that's a detail.
Have you ever observed a woman
dressing tor the ball? IL is a spectacle
worth watching. 1t is not like anything
else in the world. A woman dressing
for tea Is fussy; woman dressing for
drive Is absorbed, for a wedding is
nervous, but woman dressing for n
ball is apparently insane. She has
fears that her complexion is not
as good as at more ordinary
occasions - less important times
her ears are red, are they g@ing to re
main so all the evening? Oh, good
heavcHsl what calamity! Then her
hair-She tries a new way, it doesn't
suit her-it is taken down nervously;
there is not as much time left; she al.
lowed an hour and half, and it is
nearly all gone; finally when it is done
up again the curls begin to lose their
stiffness, and the awful question Occu S,
Will II keep III curl all night?
Then her slippers. They are tight;
she bears this patiently, and hobbies to
her pier glass to Inspect these inStru-
ments of torture. She decides that they
are worth suffering for. Then her
gown. Slowly amC in excited silence
she allows herself to be put into it. Obi
the delight of the newneSS and style of
1t. But goodness! What was that that
cracked? a seam. Needle and thread
are brought and she is stitched into it.
When the whole thing is completed the
transformed being is flushed and pant
Ing, hot and cold. laughing and scold-
ing, but with proud consciousness of
being faultleSS i'll every detail.

NEW YORK., Va 23-The ceremony Of
raising the sas1 ohn flag on the New

which was arranged for noon yesterday,
was marfed by the inclement weather. All
along the river from the pier of the Amer
lean line at the foot of Christopher street
to the barge Office the docks and vessels in
them were gayly decorated, particularly
on this side of the river. All of the big
transatlantic liners that happened to be
In port were flying flags at every peak,
and long lines of streamers were stretched
from mast to mast The American line
dock was especially gay with bunting, but
the New York had no flags at all. They
were all ready to be pulled up when Presi'
dent Harrison raised the American colors.
On the New York two battaions of the
naval reserve were on duty, and guard
was drawn upon the deck waiting for the
presidential party. The New York looked
spick and span and all of the sailors and
attendants were clad in new uniforms.
The fittings had been cleaned and polished
till they shone like mirrors, and all of the
linen and silver on the tables glistehed
brightly.
The Washington party on the section OF
the presidential train which collided with

McKrNLEY's PRoBArv.
All His Property and That Of His Wife
10 Meet His Obligations.

CLEVELAND, Feb. 23.-Governor Mckfn-
ley has been engaged all the week en-
deavoring to bring about some adjustment
of histangled affairs. Yesterday the follow
ing plan was decided upon: The governor
has made an absolute and unqualified as
signment of his property to Herman II.
Kohlsat, Of the Chicago Inter-Ocean;
Myron 7. Herrck, of Cleveland, O., and
Judge Day, of Canton, o. The property
is turned out without preference for tina
equal benefit of his creditors.
Mrs. Mckinley has considerable prop
erty of her own, which she has all along
desired to turn over to be used In paying
the notes that Governor Mckinley must
meet Her friends have urged her to re-
tain an interest In the property, but she
has steadfastly refused to listen to any
argument, and yesterday executed deed
to Mr., NJ. A. Hanna, of this city, putting
all her property In his hands. He is to do
with IL whatever he thinks best toward
settling up the obligations incurred in the
Walker Endorsements.
Upon being asked If he had anything to
say the governor replied: There Is little
for me to say about this unfortunate af.
fair, l did what could to help friend
who had been friend to me. The result
Ia known had no Interest in any of the
enterprises Mr. Walker was carrying The
amount of my Endorsements Is In excess Of
anything dreamed of. There is but one
thing for me to do-meet this unlocked for
burden as best | can have this day
placed In the hands of these well known
gentlemen all the property | own or nave
an interest in. This will be insufficient to
pay my debts What remain1 | shall exc
cute my notes for and pay them as far

IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
Senator Morgan Makes Speech Favor
ing Hawaiian Annexation.

WASHINGTON, Feb % - Yesterdays
session of the senate was prefaced by the
reading Of George Washington's farewell
address This appropriate oommemora-
tion OF the birthday of the father Of his
country was introduced five years ago. 1t
was read by Senator Manderson, of Ne
braska, president pro tenn. of the senate.
There was little time wasted in finishing up
the sundry appropriation bill, after which
the conference report on the army appro-
priation bill was agreed to, and the con-
sular and diplomatic appropriation bill was
brought before the senate. Before any
progress was made on this bill the senate
proceeded to the consideration of the
Hawaiian treaty in executive session. Sem
ator Morgan, one of tho members of the
Behrng sea arbitration board for the
United States, who left for New York this
morning to begin his journey to Europe,
was addressing the senate in executive
session before his departure and 1t was for
this purpose that the senate laid aside
other business Yesterday. No one except
MIR. Morgan spoke. and his speech was a
strong olra ioc the annexation of the
islands
Tho firAs a. rhat It is said will be daily
series OF eco diets between the nppropria-
tion bills and the antioptions bill until
the latter is acted OH was the feature of
yesterdays session of the house. The
members were worn out from Tuesday
nights session, aud the day passed tamely.
MIR Hatch had grown tired of the delay to
which the anti options bill is being sub
iected, aud when it was moved to take up
the postoilict appropriation bill he antag-
oniled the motion with the measure of
which lie il champion. Being defeated he
made the same fight. also unsuccessfully.
when the postoiliee bill was passed and
the lndinn appropriation bill was called
up Members were thus put on record
aud then the Indian question was dis
Cussed laugnidly for three hours.

The bicycle with It's light and graceful
metallic construction, Its remarkable
strength In proportion to its weight, its
noiseless rubber tires, both its friction and
the wear and tear to the highway reduced
to minimum, contains the elements OF q
new type of vehicle that will come into
universal use with the supplanting of anil
NAL traction by mechanical traction, which
must come with the development of cleo
tricity. Horses and other draft animals
will eventually disappear entirely from the
highways, just as they are now rapidly
vanishing from the street railways.
Multitudes of light vehicles of various
sizes, impelled by electricity, will speed
noiselessly in every direction, and bicycles
will be numbered by the thousand, their
utility for transportation, as well as their
value for pleasure and exercise, immensely
enhanced.
The effect upon the development of cities
will be nothing less than revolutionary.
Not only will the advance of public con-
veniencs be invaluable, but the comfort
and the health OF the people will be pro-
NOTED to corresponding degree. All but
an insignificant percentage of the exas-
perating noise and confusion of city life
proceeds from the harsh rattle and clatter
of vehicles in the streets. This will be en-.
tirely abated. To this benefit to health
will be added another no less important.
Any observer can see that the filth inces
sanity deposited In the city streets is al
most wholly due to animals. With the
disappearance of this vast amount of dis
ease produced by the microbes thus contin
ually sent broadcast into the air will thu,
be prevented.-Sylvester Baxter in Arena
