SAN Francisco, Jan. 23-The Exam
liner has received the following telegram
from President Kruger in reply to a
message requesting information as to the
status of the American mining men nog
imprisoned at Pretoria for alleged par
ticipation in the uprising of Uitlanders:
"Everything is quiet at present. The
Americans are in no danger whatever.
The government regrets deeply that
whilst almost all of the Americans took
the side of law and order. a very few of
them have joined the revolutionary So
called reform committee. These. together
with a majority, mostly British, will be
tried according to law, and justice will
be accorded to all without respect to
nationality"

dressed in costly stuffs look cheap and
garish It depends more, think, upon
the girl than the dress. Yet it would not
surprise me a bit to hear that the heart
felt desire of Miss Muslin had been to
wear one of the splendid dresses. The
world is So
The splendid dresses are SO in reality,
but they are not nearly as striking, nor
do they appear as ornate as did those of
a season ago. But they are much more
tasteful now. One young lady wore one
that might have been handed down to
her for generations had it not been that
q few generations back there wero no
such gowns worn by her ancestors, who
were simple folk who thought an alpaca
dress bIoatad luxury. But the dress look
ed that way, and few looked beyond it.
1t was Of superb swansdOwn silk, with
pompadour figures of trailing lines of
floWers-Eink roses and foliage On q
frosty sage green ground. All around
the bottom of the skirt was a festooned
Iierre lace f1ounce, with little bows of
moss green velvet ribbon set at equal
distance. The waist was pointed-al-
most all waists are pointed now-and
the silk was gathered at the neck and
drawn down to the point under narrow
draped velvet belt. The sleeves were
triple puff6 of pink Grape, and across tho
bust there was drapery of green velvet
like a bertha, having bows of the same
ON the shoulder. A pert little bow of
velvet was arranged in the hair, and
that made the whole costume bear a sort
of impertinent air altogether taking
or fetching.
Another ''splendid'' dress was of
golden peau de sole and mordore velvet.
The front of the skirt was of the gold
colored silk, with row of amber beads
down each front seam. On the beads
were set five bows of mordore velvet
ribbon. The stomacher was of sulphur
colored silk muslin laid in flutes. The
sleeves were two deep f1ounces of huted
silk muslin, while. all the rest of the
bodice was of the mordore velvet. The
back was cut princess form and of the
velvet, and it formed a train quite long,
though not exactly a full one. The low
er part of the bodice was richly en-
broidered with amber beads. The velvet
shoulder knots and the graceful draping
down the front made this bodice one to
remember when one felt that times are
out of joint and the leaves all gone from
the trees.

There is little variation in gloves or

upon them take away ones breath, so
fragile they look and yet SO lovely.
