shade of ribbon which is used. For this pale pinls and lavenders in satin ribbon will be very common. Plaid and striped grosgrain ribbon will be used for this purpose to some extent, but the satin is preferred, while the grosgrain is more in favor for other uses.
 White dotted swiss is also used, as always, for lounging gowns and morn ing dresses, with lace and ribbon trim mings. It's latest use, however, is for shirt waists, and in this capacity it is most useful, because it is so cool. There must be lining for the bodice, of course. but the sleeves admit all the breezes that are blowing, and will be found much cooler than even the cool pcrcales.
 Plain white organdies are used to some extent, but they are prettiest with tinted figure, and trimmed with ribbons or velvet stock to match the color in the figure. A white organdie with large blue block in 1t was made over that new rustling percaline that looks like silk. The percaline was blue to match the shade of the blue block, and the waist was trimmed with white yalcnciennes lace.
 Nainsool1s, batiste and linens are much used for little folks dresses. The tiny tots look very cunning in colors, but they are sweetest when dressed in pure white from top to toe. Their lit tie null bonnets with the embroidery trimmings are prettiest when worn above an immaculate white gown. It is sad fact, however, that the white ness is of such short duration, but this only adds force to what was said at the beginning, that the laundry business is fourishing, and, moreover, it may be added that the little folks are the largest contributors to produce this condition of things.
 Piques and ducks sare used for outing costumes, and many of them are white, oriclsc some delicate tint which soils

This will be gala summer for the 1aundresses, if the prophecy be true that it is to be white season, and the indications certainly point that way. One large New York store has the ap- pearance of being prepared for we'd ding fete, so dazzling is the whiteness of its decorations. Everything in this store is white-stockings gloves, shoes, parasols, fans, hats, etc. Cream white silks are hung upon the walls, and white embroideries, kerchiefs and tow els drape counters and pillars. It is astonishing how many different varie- ties of white material there are, and all in common use.
 To begin with the finest there is the soft India null, which drapes so pret- tily and befits the willowy maid. Then there is the plain Swiss, which admits of many varieties, and yet is loveliness itself, with no relief in trimming, and is the debutante's own, by right of it's purity and sweetness. Then come the organdies and dotted Swisses, and the numerous nainsool1s, batistes, India linens, dinities and lawns, after which we have piques and the heavier duck.
 Dotted swiss will be moro common than plain this summer, and will be converted into variety of different gowns. Street dresses will be made of it, with the addition of a stock and belt of some pretty shade of ribbon. The dress will be characterized by the

The Boy. Reaped a Harvest.

The town of Sandwich, Mass, re- gently offered bounty of twenty-five cents for a musl1rat head, while at the same time the town of Bourne offered twenty-five cents for muskrat tail. The boy hunters sold the head in Sand wich, paid five cents car fare, and sold the tail in Bourne. The Sandwich Solons were irritated when they dis covered the game, and changed their offer from heads to tails. Unfortunate ly, the Bourne rulers the same week changed the offer from tails to heads, and the boys cheerfully sold the musk rats tail in Sandwich and the head in Bourne. This continued for another month, and then the wise men of both towns put their heads together and agreed to give twenty-five cents for en- tire muskrats, only. Thus was the ring dissolved.

THE EPWORTH LEAGUE.
Second International Conference
 to Be Held at Chattanooga.
It Will Be the Grandest Gathering of Methodist Young People in the His tory of the Denominatfon-Out-
 line of the Programme.
[speclal Chattanooga tTenn.l Letter.1


 The second international conference of the Epworth league is to be held in Chattanooga June 27-30. Our readers, of course, are aware of the almost worldwide extent of Methodism. There are many divisions of the follow CTS of Wesley, but they are essentially one family-differing indeed little in government, but identical in doctrine and spirit, and even in methods.
 Of this unity the Epworth league is striking illustration. Its function and place in Methodist churches is sim liar to that of the Christian Endeavor in the Congregational and Presbyterian churches. It is the young peoples so- ciety of Methodism.
 Its object is to promote and cultivate tlAa intelligence and piety of its mem

Justice Stephen J. Field recently celebrated histhirty-seeond anniversary as member of the United States supreme court. He was appointed by President Lincoln March 10, but did not enter upon his duties until May 20 He had previously been chief justice of the supreme court of California. He is now in the seventy-ninth year of his age. Chief Justice Marshall's term of service covered thirty-four years, Jus tice Story's thirty-three years and
 Justice Wayne's thirty-two years. Justice Fields remaining ambition is said to be to extend his term so as to

quite as easily. Duck suits are to be had ready made for prices varying from s up to S2s and sS0. A heavy white duck, bound in black, with straps and pearl buttons on the front of the blazer, was marked s32. A pretty blue duck skirt was made with a pointed girdle that was slashed open at the top, form. ing V, with a row of small pearl but tons on each edge.
 Most people prefer to buy the ma terials and have them specially fitted, as the skirt of a ready-made dress is nearly always too long, and the waist seldom fits.
 A pretty variety of blue and white mottled duck sells at 35 cents yard, a smooth light blue costs 30 cents, and a dark blue was marked 75 cents. A light coffee brown is favorite color, and usually has white revers. White duck suits are seldom worn, but are be. ing superseded by pique.
 The pique is preferred because it is not so heavy, and does not shrink sc much as the duck. It comes in beauti. ful soft tints, that give different ap- pearance to the texture of the goods and make it look like the Bedford cord so popular few winters ago. There are light grays that would deceive any but close observer, and the pinks and lavenders are very dainty. Some ot these varieties have white polka dots, and others have raised embroidered dots. This last variety is very expen- sive, being marked s1.25 a yard, but in the dark colors it is very serviceable The other styles are 50 and 60 cents. Pique is best adapted to use in outing costumes, with stiff blazers and skirts, as it is too unwieldy for any draped de sign-even the blouse waist with the box plait. These dresses are usually made plain with a collar of embroidery, which trimming is sometimes used around the edges of the blazer. A pretty white pique with blue silk polka dots was made with a broad slashed sailor collar, which was edged with a tiny blue chambray ruffie and white Va1enciennes lace.
 Grass cloth, in that light brown linen shade, is another favorite ma terial. It is 50 cents a yard, and ii one does not want a whole dress of it, it looks very well in separate waists or fronts, or even broad collars. It is trimmed with very sheer embroidery insertion and Valenciennes lace. A yoke of grass cloth with insertions ot lace and embroidery and q flounee of the material edged with lace makes pretty trimming for any sort of dress Gingham is not much used, because

penoanced by Vest.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-A dispatch
from the st. Louis chamber of commerce
urging that the presidents recommends
tions be carried out without delay was
presented today by Vest, who declared
the st. Louis chamber of commerce did
not represent the people of Missouri.
The people did not favor the retirement
of $500, 900, 900 greenbacks and treasury
notes and the issuance of gold obliga-
tions running so years with interest ag-
gregating $3.50, ,0OO, 900. 1t was selfish
suggestion that posterity should be left
to pay this debt.
:sThe president has declared war on
silver said Vest. "He would make us
accessories to this effort to fix the gold
standard upon u.s." The senator asked
if any man really believed the supposed
emergency would not be met by silver
payments. g.s
In answer to question by Cullom,
Vest said he did not believe there wat
any possibility. of the finance committee
agreeing on any measure to report tc
the senate. Vest said the talk about
the lack of revenue was waste of words
The secretary of the treasury had as.
sured him that the revenue was increas-
ing every day, and there promised to be
large surplus.
The senate went into executive session
and financial debate ceased.

wan support Boatner,s Bill

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Western rep
resentatives working against the Reilly
Pacific bill have practically come to an
understanding that they will support
representative Boatner's bin for the
Pacific railroad commission, provided
he will amend it in one important par
ticular. The feature they oppose is that
which provides that purchasers, in case
the roads are sold under foreclosure,
should assume all debts of the old COM
panies and give the United States q
mortgage on the property payable in so
years at 8 per cent. They say the
Western states will have to bear the
burden in high traffic rates.
There is possibility that Boatner
will strike out this section and leave the
feature open for future legislation. In
that event, Californians will support the
Boatner plan, if they think there is a
fair chance to block the Reilly bill. II
is understood they prefer that there be
no legislation, and that the government
foreclose in case the roads default in
payment of bonds.

estoft, dated 6:12 p. M: The Elbe
was sunk in the North sea, after collid-
ing with another steamer. Twenty peo-
pie on board of her have been landed
here by fishing smacks. Persons saved
include the second officer and the pilot.

The reception of the news caused
great excitement everywhere, and it
soon became known in clubs and other
places of public resort.
The agents of the company and all
others were soon doing everything pos
sible to obtain facts. 1t was believed
the Elbe had about $50 persons, passen-
gers and crew, on board, and as the
time passed and no additional news was
obtainable the people became convinced
the report of over 300 lives lost must be
correct.
