When the prince of Wales visited
this country. many years ago, they
gave q great ball in his honor in St.
Louis. Governor Stewart, OF Missouri,
camc down from Jefferson City to do
credit to it, and, in the course of the
evening, became very happy, very
proud, not to say enthusiastic. be
and the prince were stationed on .
/ tile platform raised for them at one
side of the hall, where the beauty,
and brilliancy, and tlae blood of St.
Louis swept by them in dazzling re-
view. The spectacle elevated Stewards
feelings several notches. Finally ho
administered n mighty slap to the
royal back, and exclaimed; prince.

He Wants y DiRmOnd Worth 81, ,o0oss
900 for HIs Nsw CrOwa.
Emperor William is trying to obtain
thebiggest d ;amond in the world for his
new crown which is being made in
Berlin. This diamond is called the
Excelsior. 1t was found last June in
the mines of South Africa and is said
to be worth IS, 200, 900. It is three
inches high, nearly three inches
broad, weighs 971 karatS and is of
tnatchless luster. For it the British
government has offered 81. soc, 600.
The excitement of diamond hunting Is
something new to the young man who
rules over Germany and is contribut<
ing vastly to the amusement of an in
tcrested public by the multiplicity OF
the roles in which he chooses to ap-
pear. 1t is either the sensation of
getting beaten in an English yacht
race, or the incident of an addition to
the family, or the necessity Of i'm
creasing the army AMI taxes at the
same time or the return of an affec-
ton in the ear, or the recurring anx-
iety about Franco and Russia, or the
suppression OF socialism, or military
pageant in which he strives to carry
off all the glory, or pheasant shoot
ing match-whate.er it be it is very
certain the kaiser is bounl to keep
himself in the public eye. Now it is .
chase for q diamond. This restless
ness, this recurring des;re to say or
do or obtain something which will not
permit his personality to be even me-
mentarily forgotten makes a lively

Dress and Fashion.

The newest linen shirts are embroid- sred all over in sprays of white or color.
 Sashes of varying widths of ribbon and those qf soft silk and chiffon are an especial feature of summer gowns.
 Black gloves are coming into fashion again.
 Among the numerous accessories of dress are the "Falstaff" and "Crom- well" collars of point de veniso lace.
 Plaid silks have become very popular for dressy gowns.
 The most stylish sailor to weso with the drill gowns must exactly match the color of the dress and have a band and bow of tho color in the blouse

 is meant by this is illustrated in the drawings. The letters being heavy and the flower sprays dainty, the proposition is kept by drawing the letters in the broadest and simplest way, while good deal of detail should be expressed fin the flowers.
 In combining colors for these designs keep the letters less prominent in tone than the flowers. They are adaptable to almost any material, but if applied to linen cannot be as elaborately worked as on a heavier fabric.
 The following are directions for cord ing, which is beautiful method of out lining work: Where stems and leaf veins occur, outline finely in one thread of flo floss. Then mount the ground material firmly. Work the decorations in long and short stitch. slanting to the center of the blossoms-to the veins ill leaves The color combination is to be according to nature in flowers natural istioally drawn.

The cord must terminate where the lit tie scrolls end. Finish these points by splitting tho cord, threading the strands in a coarse needle and drawing them through to the wrong side, where they may be fastened Never break the ma terial in order to take the whole cord through at one time. Now, with a dou- ble thread, bring the needle up at the base of one of the couching stitches, hold the needle up from the work until the thread is taut; then twist until the strand will end where relaxed; then send the needle down on the top of the I next couching stitch. In this way cross l the cord from its start to its end; then return in the opposite way, crossing the | first series of stitches.
 Many original ways of slanting these stitches suggest themselves to worker. Two or three rows Of cord may be laid

SOME rather interesting figures are found in the estimates of population furnished by the town clerks to the state board of health Usually a good round increase over last year Is to be expected. but some clerks report falling of. as at Water bury, where 3s .0OO takes the place of the former 3S. 800. New Haven thinks it has gained 10. GOO and Hartford 1000. while Bridgeport, which has usually shown such zeal in booming its population. reports no change from last year. The only known reason for giving these figures, which are mere estimates, is to furnish a basis on which the death rate of the state and of towns may be computed by the state board of health. Says the Hartford Times: Figures based on a guess seem hardly worth making. when it is quite as we'll to refer all computation to the figures of the last census. applying to the results So obtained a correction derived from the average annual increase through the next previous decade.

In Spite of an Accident She Beat the Bri-
 tannia soundiy.
 QUEENSTOWN, July 25.-In the regatta here the Vigilant beat the Britannia by { minutes 32 seconds uncorrected time, or minutes 22 seconds corrected time. The wind was fresh and steady, and the Wig liant led during the entire race.
 It transpired after the race that the jaws of the Vigilant's gaff were carried away when between Poor head and Daunt's rock on the final round. The remainder of tho race was finished with the gaff lashed to the mast, and starboard tacking was risky business from that time on. The yacht had to be handled in tho most delicate manner while on the way back to Roohe's point and from thence to the finish line. The gaff fell while the mainsail was being lowered upon the Vigilant's arrival at her moorings
 The damaged gaff was promptly cleared of all encumbrances and was sent ashore to the Queenstown navy yard. where the officials promptly took 1t in hand It is expected that. thanks to the courtesy upon the part of the navy yard officials, the gah will be repaired In time for the Vigilant to take part today in the second days racing x the regatta of the Royal Cork Yacht club.
 Bonfires were lighted In the town last night in honor of the victory of the Amer ican boat George J. Gould was enter taincd as saipner by Admiral St. John.
