sSirts are made Of taffeta in cream, straw,
white or roso and trimmed with hounce
having innumerable horizontal rows of
cording. The hem is lined with stiffen ing
and also corded, which gives the petticoat
the necessary SIT ness and fare for hold
ing out the dress skirt.
Silk and wool and all wool crepons are
shown in lovely evening shades. There
are also grapes and grenadines, the latter
plain, striped and embroidered. The fan
cy for black evening gowns seems to have
waned although the persons to whom
they are especially becoming will no doubt
continue TO wear them. Clear red makes
an extremely pretty full dress gown for a
woman who is fortunate enough to be
able TO stand a large mass Of that color.
The evening toilet illustrated is rather
original In style. 1t Is made of nile green
bengaline, with mother Of pearl change
able effect. The plain bell skirt is trim
med with lengthwise lines Of pearl passe-
menterie, terminating in choux at the
foot. The round bodice Is composed Of
vertical puffs Of bengalino separated by
q line Of passementerie. The decolletage
is borderod with band Of pearl galloon,
with a chou on each side in front. The
sleeves and girdle are Of velvet.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.
The Pocketed Report of Admiral
Walker.
Fall River News.

Senator Lodge keeps his eyes open. He has
a memory also. lie called TO mind the fact
that Admiral Walker was sent 10 take
command of our fleet in Hawaii at a
critical time and that the report OF
this distinguished officer has not been
given 20 the public. Being OF curious turn
Of mind, and withal interested in the Hawai-
ian question, he wanted TO know what condi-
ton OF things the admiral fonnd. So he intro
duced a resolution in the usual terms calling
for the report.
We are informed from Washington that the
papers are nearly ready for transmission 90 the
senate. Meanwhile tho purport OF the report
Is telegraphed 20 the country. The report
does up the case OF the administration, as TO
its Hawaiian policy, pretty thoroughly.
The admiral testified that the now govern
ment is strong and able. and that IL has the
support not only OF the respectable white popu-
lation OF Hawaii. but also Of an important ele-
ment OF tho natives lie finds that these sup
porters OF the republic desire annexation 90 the
United States. lie also bears witness that the
English Consul, General Woodhouse. aud his
successor Hawes. while maintaining ostensi-
bly, friendly relations with the existing gov
ernmcnt, have really been intriguing with the
royalists with the purpose of weakening the
republic. and that the British flag would have
been fiying ON Neckar Island had not the
speed aud carly start oi = Hawaiian vessel

some Inventions of Women.

It is rather interesting TO know, in view
Of tho fact that ono OF the chief reasons
advanced for the acknowledgements of wo-
men Is their incapacity for war, that the
spherical shape of the bullet Is the result
Of a woman's experiments And though
women have not much Of n reputation for
SUCCESS in inventing somo Of the most i'm
portant and useful Inventions have been
made by them. Catherine Littlefield
Greene, widow Of General Greene of Revo-
lutionary mcmory. perfected the cotton
gin after Eli Whitney, who happened TO
be- boarding with her and who made the
original design, had given il up as bad
job
The light and convenient paper pail was
invented by Chicago woman, and the
Invaluable gimlet pointed screw was the
idea Of n little girl. An improved wood
carving machine, furnace for smelling
ore, chain elevator, a deep sea telescope,
a screw crank for steamships, a flrescape,
wool feeder and weigher, spark arrest
or for locomotives and a signal rocket used
in the navy have all been invented by
women. The device in use on the New
York elevated road for deadening the
noise of the trains and which Edison had
been asked TO take into consideration was
made by a woman. Exchange.

A man who was recently in an express
train which ran off the track in the mid
die Of the night was evidently not too
much upset by the danger and discomfort
usually attendant on an accident to keep
his eyes open. and this Is the result of his
observations: 1T made mo wonder why
women were not as particular about their
personal appearance In private as in pub
tic, he sui. After seeing what saw
in the confusion of the accident that night
many of them would be more particular
and better prepared for emergencies. Many
rushed from the sleeping car in the until
diest and most unbecoming Of flannel
dressing gowns, bootless and slipperless,
while wiso women looked quite smart in
their neat peignoirs, lace covered heads
and dainty worsted slippers. 1t reminded
me forcibly Of the great earthquake in the
Riviera, where / saw Russian princesses
rushing about the courtyard, minus their
wigs, teeth and figures, looking terribly
washed out; also n stout English dowager
duchess in scalskin dolman, which eeH-
cealed only a portion Of her bare lower
limbs. On that occasion, be it said to the
credit of the United States, the American
women seemed best prepared for the emer-
rency."

Militia Defeated, strikers Arlning.
SACRAMENTO, July 5.-The situation here
is one OF armed revolt and resistance to
the state authorities. Two regiments of
state militia have marched Off the ground

II was, OF course, known by the mob
that the troops were there to protect the
trains when they Were started and the
strikers We're wildly demonstrative, their
leaders trying III vain to control them
Their chairman vainly begged them 10 let
the militia alone, but they loudly declared
no PullmGns should be moved Finally
three companies of militia were ordered to
drive the strikers from the station. The
scene was at once tumultuuus and the
situation threatening. For a few mo-
ments the soldier, hcsitated, then they
wavered, and then came Il blunt refusal TO
move against the excited strikers. \ few
minutes later all the troops turned their
backs upon the turbulent mob at the sta
tion and quietly withdrew to the armory
A Geafening shout announced the sec
ond victory of the strikers over the rail-
road company and their first victory over
the state militia. Soon after this it be-
camc known why the militia had re-
treated. United States Marshal Baldwin
and the railroad officials had insisted that
tho 'Toops refrain from shooting aud that

strength. This plan the officers of the
militia absolutely refused to sanction.
