Some interesting facts about

"The girls are all so proud of

gets to wearing tights she wants
'em full length.

vided for loose trousers of various
colors reaching almost to the knee.
They were worn the first night as

"The ladies of the ballet don't

PROGRESSIVE DINNER-PARTIEs
The Revival of an Entertainment
That Promotes sociability.

Frances E. LanigaD in January
Ladies' Home Journal writes that
the progressive dinner-party has
experienced revival this winter
and is once more established in
fashionable favor. AS 1896 is
leap year the dinner is now ar
ranged so that the men remain in
their original seats throughout
the meal, while the women pro-
gress with the courses. The first
announcement that the dinner is
in any respect different from the
ordinary ceremonial meals Of So
ciety, is in the appearance at the
hosts place of a small silver bell,
which he rings at the conclusion
of each course, and in the quota
lions upon the guest cards-the
line given to the lady occupying
the seat OF honor-the right of the
host-being, "Westward the course
of empire takes its way" thus in
dicating the direction OF the pro-
gression. The other ladies' guest
cards may read: "All things jour-
ney, we go with them," Press
bravely onward" "Let us then be
up and DOING" "Onward, onward
may we press" "a lovely appari-
ton sent to be a moments orna-
ment."
For the cards of the men, who
retain their original seats through
out the meal, the following quota
tions will serve: "How happy
could l be with either, were t'other
dear charmer away" "Welcome
the coming, speed the going guest"
1--WE must endure their going
hence, even. as their coming
hither," "Variety's the very spice
Of life" at is something to get
thus far il one is not permitted to
go farther" "Stay In that station
in which you have been placed"
The rule to be observed by the
hostess Is that che must have as
many courses for her dinner as she
has couples present. This is made
necessary by the fact that the pro-
gressions are made with courses,
and that the round must be COM
pleted with the end of the dinner.
She should Of course, aim to ar
range 80 that the people who are
most congenial shall be partners
during the longest courses-the
roast and the dessert. This may
be easely arranged by placing them
two or three courses apart at the
beginning of the dinner.

A Countess Libeled.

LONDON, Jan. tin the Queens
Bench division this week Countess
De Fremont, described as a jour
nalist, su ed Mr.. w. s. Gilbert, the
we'll known dramatist, to recover
damages for libel.
The prosecutor, in opening the
case, said that the plaintiff was
the widow of the Count De Bre-
mont, who had been a surgeon in
the French army, ana who died in
1882. Plaintiff was left dependent
upon her own exertions for liv-
ing and took to journalism, es-
pecially the interviewing OF cele-
brities. She came TO England and
obtained an engagement on st.
Pauls Magazine. In October, 1894,
she wrote to Mr.. Gilbert, who was
about to produce a new opera,
"His Excellency," asking for an in
terview. The defendant replied,
stating that the charge for an in
terview would be twenty guineas.
To this plaintiff replied that she
anticipated writing Mr.. Gilbert's
obituary notice for nothing After
this came the libel complained of,
which appears in the form of
letter in the Times and Tele-
graph, under the heading "The
Lady Interviewer" Mr.. Gilbert re-
ferred to plaintiff as "a lady styling
herself the Countess de Fremont"
He also wrote to st. Paul's SINH
lar letter, but added that he did
not wish 10 place himself at the
mercy OF this lady, and warned the
editor to keep careful editorial
eye upon anything written by this
/ ldy respecting himself. Plaintiff
commended that from the letters the
inuendo would be drawn that she
was pretender to the name of the
Countess de Fremont, and that she
was not woman Of good repute.
These letters had inflicted upon
her considerable injury in her pro-
fession as journalist, and she
asked for damages.
Defendant, for whom appeared
Sir Edward Clarke and Mr.. Ham,
mond Cham bers, denied that the
words bore the meaning put upon
them, and as to the letter to ST. |
Paul's he claimed privilege.
The jury returned verdict for
the defendant, and judgment was
given accordingly.

the settlement. But the Venezuelan au
thorities prefer to see the treaty itself in
stead of an agreement for a treaty anC
the present indications are that Venezuela
will give no acceptance until the entire
treaty, with all its terms and qualifca
tons, is completed.
This may take considerable time. The
general expectation was that Venezuela
would first accept the proposed method OF
settlement Then diplomatic relations be
tween Great Britain and Venezuela
would follow as matter of course. When
these relations were re-established the
British minister at Caracas could readily
take up the negotiations of the proposed
arbitration treaty.
In official and diplomatic circles there
continues to be u satisfactory and hopeful
view taken of the situation. 1t is felt
that all obstacles will be cleared away in
short time. At the same time the prac-
teal abandonment of the extra session
of the Venezuelan congress and the dis
position to close all negotiations on the
final treaties before an acceptance Is
given, do not increase the prospects of a
speedy conclusion of the case. ..
On the question of general arbitration
between the United States and Great
Britain Mr. Olney and Sir Julian have
made their final draft of the treaty and
it is in the hands of Lord Salisbury await
ing his approval. No doubt exists of its
approval and it is expected to come daily.
1t had not arrived when Mr.. Olney con-
ferred with the ambassador today.

ment in improvement in production OF
cinchona bark. The price of quinine had
steadily decreased from the time the pro-
duct was put on the free list in 1880. The
business would have been blotted out in
America but for Weghtman's determine
ton to continue it. That firm paid its
girls Sc week, whereas German manu-
facturers paid II IL cents per day.
Aonzo l.. Thompson of Boston appear
ed in behalf of restoration of the duty
on sal soda and soda ash from is TO IA
cent per pound. He also asked that Ep-
som salts be made dutiable at IA cents
per pound.
The schedule on wines, spirit wines and
other beverages was then taken up. Mr..
John Il. Thompson. Jr., of HarrOdsburg,
KY. represented the manufacturers OF
liquors and spirits generally, was the first
TO appear. lie asked that the duty on
liquors, now $3.50 per gallon be restored
to $3.50, the rate under the act of 1880.
The present law, he said increased the
tax on domestic goods 20 cents and re-
duced the tax on imported goods 40 cents
per gallon. He also argued that there
should be some reciprocal arrangement
between Canada and the United States.
The competition from the Dominion, he
said, was keeny felt by the domestic
manufacturers. He entered into the dis
cussion of the importation of adulterated
whisky, from Canada, saying the country
is being flooded with spurious liquors.
Edward H. Snyder of New York, repre-
senting the National Wholesale Liquor
Dealers association, asked for such an
adjustment of duties on foreign liquors
as will yield the largest revenue, but not
give importers undue advantage, and Il
penal statute to punish the counterfciters
of foreign wine and liquor brands.
This finished the days hearings.

ANNOYED BY FILIBUSTERS.
Washington Officials Will Take More
Rigid Steps in Future.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-No information
has been received at either the treasury
department or the department of justice
respecting the suspected filibustcr Three
Friends except the announcement of her
seizure, nor have any special instructions
been given TO the local officers as to the
legal course to be pursued There is no
doubt that the officials are not entirely
satisfied with the way the business Of
preventing tiibusterng expeditions from
leaving our ports has been conducted, and
it is believed that Assistant Secretary
Wike. who is now in Florida, will make
it his business to investigate the whole
matter. 1t is known that the Spanish
minister here has made repeated COM
plants at the state department that some
government officials in Florida have
money interests in some of the steamers
engaged in violating the neutrality laws
by carrying expeditions to Cuba. These
complaints have been forwarded to the
chief customs officers in Florida, and
while the reports admit the fact of sub
ordinates or members of their families
holding interests in some of the well
known filibusters, it is claimed that this
fact has not had and could not have any
influence upon the official acts of the sub
ollltlulo. W " thic 'iiiN 'hN''
statements have been allowed to pass as
satisfactory answers to the charges, but
the officials here are greatly annoyed by
the frequent successful trips of tilibusters
and it is not unlikely more stringent
measures to put stop to them will be
adopted. Whether the subordinates own
ing interests in these vessels will be re-
qured to resign is not known, but if it
is made to appear that any one OF them
is under reasonable suspicion, prompt ac-
ton will be taken. The presence in Flori-
da of Assistant Secretary Wike, however,
is not by direction of Secretary Carlisle.
Mr.. Wike, in arranging for the trip,
expressed to the secretary that he would
like to look into the filibustering bust
ness in Florida, and the secretary will
ingly gave his consent and issued an order
placing the revenue cutters in those wa
ters under the assistant secrctary's CON
troll
