LApLANpea STYLES.
They Haven't Changed Any In the Last
Thousand Years.

There Is one corner ip the world where
the fashions Of the people have remained
the same for the last thousand years. The
Lapp lady Is not concerned about the latest
tooue from Paris, nor is sho subject to
that soul narrowing experience, the bar
gain counter crush. However, she may
properly lay claim to having been the orig
inal bloomcr girl, for the neither garment
worn by her today is of tho same design as
that worn by her ancestors Of thousand
years ago.
The summer garment of the Laplander
Is usually Of coarse wooden goods, and has
something the cut Of shirt with high
collar. Among the sen Lapps 1t is for the
most part undyed Among the other Lapps
usually blue, sometimes green or brown,
and even black smock frocks have been
seen.

In the back and on the edges this smock is
ornamented with strips of red and vel
low cloth. Under this garment Is similar

Military Expedition Con-
trary to the Neu-'
trality Laws

The entire cargo Of bananas having
been unlonded off the Laurada her broker

ton for clearance papers for Hampton

ply was received from the assistant Secre.,
u..y instructing the Collector to detain
cleafance papers from the Laurada pend.
Ing further instructions.
While Captain Edward Murphy was
SITTING IN the collectors Office awaiting
clearance papers for foreign port the
destination not being given as It was not
asked for, he was arrested by Marshal
Linnan, on u warrant sworn out by the
Spanish Consul in Philadelphia charging
him with violation Of the neutrality
laws.
The allegations are that he did begin
and set on foot a military expedition start
ing from Philadelphia and then from this
port on or about August 3, 1896.
Tho officials in this city state that so far
as this port Is concerned, the Laurada had
no expedition aboard when she cleared.
AS soon us arrested, Herbert H. Ward,
attorney, who SO successfully defended
the fibusters, who were tried here one
year ago, was retained as the Captains
counsel.
At ! o'clock he was arraigned before
Commissioner Smith and pleaded not
guilty.
District Attorney Vandegrift asked for
{. continuance until next Saturday morn
ing at ~ O'Clock as the witnesses could
not be secured. That was the earliest time,
in which ho could secure his witnesses,

there is jubilnnt over the fact that en-
ploymenG will be given them ut laying

For several years Mr.. Addicls has, been
endeavoring to locate his gus in New York

sition met him, but now thnt ull barriers
are removed the people Of the town there
welcomed him to their midst, and in
rccosniation Of their friCndlincss, the gas
kingwill place good gas at IA figure which
will allow its use in every house in tho
City.
Il will be remembered that Mr. Addicks
n year ago made strong efforts to locate u
plant hero, but such sJrong opposition
was brought to bear against the enter.
prise, which would have benefited every
worEingnan in the city, that he had to
abandon his undertaking. The result was
that local gus consumers continued to pay
high price for gas, which standard of
price continues to-day. Wherever Mr..
Addicks has located IL gas plant he has
taken to the community employment for
workingmcn and Il cheaper and bctter
grade of gas than was before used by the
Wilmingtonhns have long complained
against the monopoly of the local gas com.
