mented with four large buttons. Its back is fitted and for trimming there is Q large rever collar of brown velvet whose ends narrow toward the waist This collar may be made separately and would be very pretty if made of fur.
 If of the latter material, it would be as much of protection as are many theater capes, though these same small affairs are extremely elaborate Chin chilla in the softest and finest quality is much used because it is lighter than other furs. It is made up with mount ing of velvet and often with insertions of heavy lace. Such garments are short, standing out on the shoulders and reaching to about the elbow. For short women, they reach only to the el- bow on the sides and are made longer in a point back and front. This is much more becoming to the full figure. The swellest black velvet coats are lined with ivory satin, the tails of the coats flare prettily, permitting the white 10 show, and the wearer's rival just back of her rejoices because she thinks the placket is open and showing white through, and then is green with envy because she hasn't got ivory satin lining to her coat.

ABOUT ROSES.

Legends and Facts-The Origin of New
 Species.
 CN1ary T. Earle in New York Evening Postl True to it's character as an emblem of silence, the rose maintains reserve in regard to it's early surroundings. We know that the great much-doubled flowers that fill our gardens and green houses with such range of color and 1orm were never found--"crowding that 'alfsame way out of wilding wayside push" The wild rose is always a frail transient, open-natured flower, the type of simplicity. It might well have been dedicated to Aurora as an emblem of youth, but only the double rose, with eurving petal after petal folding in it's heart, can be the flower with which, as

There are Populists in Greece. A bill was recently introduced in the Greek chamber which provided for the compulsory withholding of the surplus currant crop from the market for one year. The object in view was, of course, to maintain the price at it's accustomed standpoint, the large crop tending to lower prices, and it was feared this would be felt in future years. The bill was rejected, after an animated debate. by sixty-three votes to forty five.

Concord, California boom site, is thus described by an impartial writer: Concord is situated on the Atlantic and Pacific road, about four miles southeast of Mojave, and is utterly worthless for any purpose whatever. It is a sandy desert covered with dwarf cactus, and is even summed by rab- bits and birds. The nearest water that could be used for irrigation is twenty five or thirty miles away, which would have to be brought that distance by pipe lines up hill. The land is abso- lutely worthless. A large number of lots have been sold to eastern people, but nothing further has ever been done. The only vegetation is a small cactus, dwarfed to creeping plant, owing to the conditions that prevent it growing. Concord is miles away from timber. There is no more uninviting spot on earthl

There has recently died in New Jersey town queer old character named Page, but better known as the Silent Man. He simply had nothing to say and refused to waste time and breath saying nothing. He sold papers for a living, saved his money, attended to his own business and paid no atten- tton to what other folks did or said. JAS the result of all this he lived to be over 90. The one time when his meek spirit rose to the occasion of answering a challenge occurred when a subscrip- ton was being taken up for funds to procure bell for Presbyterian church in Railway. A rich and stingy citizen laughingly told the soliciting commit tee that he would give as much as old Page" The Silent Man heard of it and sent in his check for $500 for the bell fund.

The Boston Transcript says that of the 146 inhabitants of the little town of Chilmark, on the island of Martha's Vineyard, thirty-six, or almost exactly one-quarter, are congenitally deaf and dumb. The town records show that two of the original settlers of the place, away back in the seventeenth century, were deaf and dumb, and the inflrmity has thus been transmitted to our own day. This hereditary influence shows no plan of uniformity in its workings, deaf and dumb parents having children in full possession of all their senses, and vice versa. This peculiar commit nifty shut in from the outside world, is, however, alive to all the social and po- litical influences of the time, and does not differ in great degree from the

TO HELP CUBA.
An Expedition in Aid of the
Insurgents,
Is Said to Be Organizing in the
United States.
MONEY is RAISED
To Aid the Cause of Cuban
Independence.

New YORK, March ga sensat ional
story is afloat to the effect that fli-
clustering expedition is being organ
lied in this city. According to the
story an attempt is being made to fit
out large American schooner for the
invasion of Cuba. It is stated that the
name. Of the vessel and the addresses
OF men who have organized the filibus-
tering expedition are in the hands
of the Spanish consul About two
weeks ago the Spanish consul was
informed that suspiciously large
number of men had been
employed to go to Cuba. It was neces-
sary that these men should be citizens
of America, otherwise their employers
had no work for them. The men were
to be given free passage to and from
the island, food supplied them, and
were 20 be paid a salary of $50 per
month. OF those who were hired, the
ones who appeared to be entirely trust
worthy and likely to keep the secret
were told the real nature Of the expe-
dition.
The plan was changed and it was ar
ranged to send the hired men to Cuba
on a steamer of one of the regular lines
running to Colon, instead of the char
tered steamer. This latter was then
to be loaded with munitions of war,
and, if possible, the cargo was to be
landed on the east end of Cuba, at
present the scene of the disturbances.
The details of this plan, it was claimed,
were learned through elective who
had formerly been in the employ of the
Haytien government during the late
revolution on that island.
Arturo Baldasano, the consu1-gen-
eral, was told Of the story yesterday
evening. He said very decidedly:
''There Is not word of truth in the
story. If such a craft were being
fitted out here it would be to the in
terest of the United States to look after
it. The Spanish government would
also take the necessary precaution to
prevent the success of the expedition.
But I know nothing of the facts de-
tailed, and of course cannot take any
action concerning the matter"
RAISING FUNDS FOR THE INSURGENTS.
TAMPA, Fla. March 23.-The follow
ing advices have been received from
the City of Mexico through Spanish
official sources. In the capitals of the
various Mexican states Cuban commit

gents in Cuba. The Spaniards in some
localities are offsetting this by prepar-
ing to organize for service in support
of the crown in Cuba. They have ap-
pointed a committee to wait on the
Spanish minister to ask him to obtain
from President Diaz permission to or
ganize such bodies on Mexican soil.
This action has come to the knowledge
of the Spaniards in Spain and at least
one hundred declare they will form
themselves into a volunteer company
and go to Cuba and enlist in the Span

COTTON ADVANCES.
Many Other Indications of Bus
mess Improvement.
There is a Freer Demand for
Money.
STRIKERS INTERFERE
With the Advance in Some Lines
of Trade.

NEW YORK, March 23.-R- G. Dun &
Co. s Weekly Review of Trade says: In
dications of improvement in business
grow more distinct. The most obtru-
sive of them, the speculative advance
in cotton and in stocks is the least reli-
able, nor can either of these be said to
reflect actual improvement in business
conditions. Railroad earnings are
scarcely better, and the speculation is
largely based on expectation of more
effective monopoly in coal and some
other products. London was buying
largely, but likely to sell on any rise.
More valuable Indications are that
the volume of domestic business gains
little; money is in much better de-
mand, and the force of hands at work
gradually increases in some industries,
and in others is restricted only by
strikes, which are presumably tempo
rary.
The rise in cotton to g. 81 cents still
seems to have scarcely any contact
with the facts of demand and supply,
but had very substantial basis new
ertheless, if, as some maintain, more
cotton had been sold in this country
for future delivery than could be pro-
OuCOQ mere uu III dnOI4CE crop COLu0S.
The rise in wheat, which started
with the report of wheat in farmers
hands, has been followed by reaction,
so that prices are lower than they
were prior to that report, having fallen
~ cents for the week. Western re-
ceipts were 1,9sS, PA bushels, against
1858. 1871 last year, and for three weeks
were practically equal to last years,
while Atlantic exports are small.
Corn has not followed, but after rise
to 515S cents, holds the price of week
ago, receipts being about a third of
last years, and exports insignificant.
Pork has declined 25 cents per barrel,
and lard 10 cents per 100 pounds
Lead is weaker with heavy sales,
$500 tons domestic and 1900 tons to
foreign takers at sos cents to 8. 10
cents, but large sales of the plate are
reported with prices shade stronger.
Sales of wool gradually decrease, and
for the week are smaller than last year,
Atlas pounds, against 4,33e, 500
pounds. For three weeks of March,
sales indicate about 70 per cent. of a
full consumption.
Failures during the past week have
bee 27s for the United States, against
244 last year.

TRACTS CRITICISED.

Publications Sent Out by the Presbyterian
Church Objected to by Sunday School
Missionaries.
DETROIT, Mich, March 23.-The
Presbyterian board of publications was
openly criticised by the Sunday school
missionaries of that denomination at
yesterdays session of the missionaries
annual conference. It was stated that
the hymn books and tracts sent to the
missionaries for use in their pioneer
Sabbath schools were unsuitable and in
some cases Anticipated, and that only
dozen out of l, 800 tracts published were
really attractive and suitable. DR..
Worden advised the missionaries not to
force poor literature on the people. He
remarked that the average Sunday
school library was usually filed with
wishy-washy fiction that exercised a
demoralizing influence upon the intel
lectual fibre of child's mind. 81 am
something of a sinner" he said, but
I was never guilty of reading one of
those library books"

Santa Fe Completed.
SANTA FE, n. NJ, March 23.-The
big reservoir at the mouth of the cam
yon, miles east of town, which has
been in process of construction for two
years, is at last finished. The water
forms lake q mile. in length, 4 of
a mile wide and 70 feet deep at the
deepest point. 1t is computed that
enough water flows through the Santa
Fe canyon yearly to supply this reser-
voir system at least three times, and,
such being the case, now that the
reservoirs are at last full to overflow
ing, the water company feels that it
can go on with its improvements, and
provide for additional storage capacity,
while, at the same time, adhering
strictly to the proposition of holding
only the surplus storm waters"
Work on the second reservoir, to pro-
vide water enough for irrigating 5000
acres of suburban valley lands, will be
initiated next week.

PHOENIX, A. T., March 23.-Amid
scenes of wild disorder, the eighteenth
session of the territorial assembly
came to an abrupt termination at 1
o'clock this morning. The general
appropria ton bill was taken up and
every scheme to delay its passage was
resorted to. The object of this delay
was to kill all chances of the removal
of the penitentiary from Yuma to
Prescott, for which the Santa Fe
Railroad Co.'S agents have been
making fight. opposed by the South
ern Pacific Co. lobbyists They pre-
vented a vote until after midnight,
when the session lapsed through linn
itation. Speaker Carpenter arbitrarily
adjourned the house Nearly all terri
torial officers and institutions are thus
left without funds for the coming two
years. An extra session can be called
only by congress at it's next session.

CHICAGO March 80 The Times
Herald says: Fire has just destroyed
the last documentary evidence that, it is
alleged, would have removed the stain
of the charge of conspiracy to assassinate
Abraham Lincoln from the home of Mary
E. Surrat This woman, who suffered
death on the charge preferred against
her, had for her counsel Col John W.
Clampitt, of Highland Park, in whose
possession was the evidence that he
thinks would have restored her good
name and shown that in the passion of
the time. an innocent person had been
sacrificed.
For thirty years Col ClamLitt had been
collecting data and evidence and had it
so complete he believed that none could
doubt it. 1t was ready for publication
and then came the fire which destroyed
his residence and all the evidence &C
cumulated since that day, thirty years
ago when he strove to save the woman
from the gallows.
1t was not until yesterday that Col
Clampitt spoke of this particular loss
which he had suffered in the burning of
his home. Col Clampitt said that al
though the task was heavy, he would go
to work and try to rewrite the documents
that had been destroyed.

A LEPROSY CASE.
One in an Advanced Stage Discovered in
New York.

One in an Advanced Stage Discovered in
New York.
New YORK, March 23.-The health
board yesterday learned that there had
been man stricken with leprosy liv-
ing for tie past six years in a tene-
ment house in this city. President
Wildron said that the facts so far
ascertained had been given to the
sanitary superin tendent, DIR. Charles
F. Roberts, and that a prompt
and thorough investigation would
be made Immediately. The mans
name and address has not been
given out. He has wife and five
children, and one of his daughters is
married and has 7-months-old baby.
Although the case has been handled
during the past few years by two physi-
clans and brought to the notice of the
medical staff of the Presbyterian hos
pital, it has never been reported to the
health board.
DIR. Albert S. Ashmead, who passed
upon the case as an expert, said that
the man was undou btedly in an adj
vanced stage of leprosy. He is about so
years of age, but, as with all 1epers,
looks much older. He was born in Ger
many. He was very sanguine of recov-
cry, but this, Dr. Ashmead said,
was characteristic of all 1epers, and
seemed merciful provision of nature.
DR.. Ashmead said also that DR.. Han
sen, the eminent Norwegion scientist
and physician, who, in 1874, discovered
the leprosy bacillus, is of the opinion
that leprosy is not a contagious dis
ease. DR.. Ashmead spent several years
as medical director of the Toxic hos
pital in Japan.
HEAVY GRAIN SALE.
ST. LOUIS, March 23.-The heaviest

Co. and consisted of 700, 900 bushels of
No. 2 corn. The shipment is to be
made between now and April 8, and
goes by rail to the Atlantic seaboard.
The value of ST. Louis grain to the At
lantic market has been enhanced fully
g cent per bushel by the appearance,
condition and weights of the grain that
was shipped this season, amounting to
nearly 1900, 900 bushels from st. Louis
to these markets.
CATTLE STRANGELY AFFECTED.
TOPEKA, Kan, March pa strange
disease has broken out among several
herds of cattle in Geary and Morris
counties. DR.. Mayo, veterinary at the
state agricultural college, gives it as
his opinion that it is contagious pleuro-
pneumonia, and the state live stock
commission has quaran tined the herds
affected. Gov. Morrill, has asked the
bureau of animal industry at Wash
ington to send an expert to make an
investigation The mortality thus far
is light.
Where the directions of other baking
powders call for two teaspoonsful you
need use but one of DR.. Prices to get
best results.
