II is taken for granted that
all women who are alone, OF
in the company of one an
other, after sunset are bad. In some
restaurants the fear of the police is
so great that this rule is strictly en-
forced. 1t is an unconstitutional regu-
lation. Moreover, if it wQs removed
the respectable people at dinner and
supper would not suffer by the contact
Of women who were not respectable.
Every hotel and restaurant keeper has
right to run his house to suit him
self, and among his rights is that OF
refusing to serve food or drink to OBJ
icctionnble people. Sometimes this re-
fusal is deftly made to appear as d neg
lect and the would-bc customerls Is made
to lose his patience with waiting so that
be will go elsewhere. Bad women are
easily recognized and their visits to
the restauunts-which can be made
easily enough now, if they find a man
10 take them-could be made futile.
1t is hard, indeed, that the respect
able women of tho city, who are often
belated by their employments, or their
pleasures either, if you like, should have
to go hungry to bed because night
prowlers also eat. There are women
who are clerks, shop girls, typewriters,
reporters, editors, actors, nurses, dan
GERS, models, storekeepers, printers,
orators, teachers and walking delegates
who have not acquired protectors, or
can get on quite well without them,
and who have the ordinary human ap-
petites. To deny food to them on the
grounds set forth in the police regula.

fashionable modiste. And the grass
lawns and lace-over-silk combinations
nre so delicate and fragile!
There is Il new wrinkle in applique
work. Upon silk or crepe foundation a
leaf or other design is traced. This is
cut out of tulle of the desired shade and
sewed on around the edges. A single
thickness-grecn if the pattern is leaf
produces but the faintest tint. Lay
three or four thicknesses of the tulle
over each other and very pronounced
green results. In the case of rose petal
tints, considerable variety of tint can
be produced by varying the number Of
thicknesses of pink tulle. But what a
eisyphean task thus to work on hounces
and leaves all over the fabric Of gown
to be worn but few times!
Against this, however, place the pi-
quaint detail that black costumes are in
high favor for evening wear. There are
some regal beauties who could ask no
finer garb, but the pale little women
will soon conclude that tints are better
suited to them.
The singular popularity of white for
out-of-door' dresses continues, white
duck and canvas being more in evidence
than the softer scrgcs. The white hat
worn with such suit is apt TO have one
potent note in huge black plume, thus
carrying the eye upward to the one
dominant note.
Nantes and wraps are beginning to
appear, presnging cool weather, but as
yet they are mainly Of silk and lace
variety. Here again appears the sen
sons fad of lace over silk, or even lace
over net, a combination too diaphanous
to be of muck protection against the
cold. This doubtless is not the purpose
of those fragile cobwebs of white lace
over black net, with strong lines drawn
In puffed chiffon and black ribbons.
Age cannot withcr nor custom state
the infinite variety of the blouse. 1t
will be just as much of n favorite this
fall, they say, as it has ever been. There
are beauties In lavender whose white
silk tabs, epaulettes, collars and cuffs
are edged with lace.
1t is not too late to get golf costumes.
Golfing will be in blaze of glory for
the next three months.

IcoPxR1oHr, 1861

Bar Harbor.-The best Saturday Of
the best month of the Bar Harbor sea-
son finds the quaint old town of Eden
did you know that Bar Harbor
was in the town of Eden, prophetically
SO named long before the bevies of beau
ties that justify the title to-day were
born; or their mammas?-in all the
glory of its summer foliage, summer cos
tunes and summer revels. In the midst
Df it all there is haunting note of au-
tumn, which comes early on these north
ern coasts. The golden rod has been
blooming for u long time, the cardinal
flower lifts its flaming red banners by
the margins of the lake and the little
streams that enter it, and it is no trouble
at all to accomplish the boasted summer
resort feat of sleeping under blankets" D."
for the nights are deliciously chill.
There are lawn and piazza gowns
which carry out the seasons earlier
promise OF frivolity and frippery. They
gain assistance from the new sleeve,
curiously enough. When that much
debated feature of the modern
gown is discreetly veiled at its upper
extremity by triple capellets of the
edged chiffon, what is more natural in Il
sinful and unregenerate world than to
edge the skirt with similar useless bu,
captivating futterments?
A lawn and piazza gown of white with
pompadour designs of green sprlgs is
the particular offender have in view.
1t has fichu-like arrangement of spot
ted muslin over the shoulders and under
the arms. The wrinkled sleeves-is
''rucked" the right word for them ?-are
of thin muslin, showing the cool pink
arm not nigesrdly, and there are three
flounces about the skirt hem, outlined
with narrow black ribbon, which ap-
pears again at the waist and in the lines
over the shoulder. The moderate V of
the bodice is beautiful feature rot at
all uncommon in this seasons outdoor
gowns. Women with pretty necls aJ-
ways find high collars 80 uncomforta-

worn to-day by little lady in the Bos-
ton set All that one could see of it was
sort of dust cloak arrangement of gray
chine silh dotted with black, green and
purple flowers. 1t had spencer bodice
with white satin revers and the cape
sleeves reached quite to the elbow, their
gray gIace matching the crepe de chine.
There were purple bows at the open
shoulders and ruching of pinked out
purple silk surrounded the sleeves and
revers. The silk skirt was plain and
came quite to the ground, showing just
a suspicion of lace frippery as the wind
caught it. To call such splendid affair
dust cloak is quite of piece with
calling The big Bar Harbor and Newport
palaces cottages. A very pretty hat
went with the outfit, course grass
green straw with q sugar-loaf crown
and brim Of pink roses climbing up
the left side 10 a cluster at the base of
an ostrich plume.
High hats have come with the heated
season and will last well into autumn.
There is no doubt that they are better
adapted to bend off extreme heat than
the hat-topped species.
The new sleeve, with its supposed
necessity of drapery at the shoulder, is
less adaptable to the gowns of the
athletic girl. Hence we see her still
clad in her mutton-leg sleeve as of cid.

all colors, whose lapels are frogged with

these shamrock suggestions appear
again OF the cuffs and dangle from long
stems down the skirt front. A walking
gown Of gayer sort is made altogether
of white serge, it's jacket with a high
square collar held together by single
big white button, its basque skirts very
buoyant and impertinent, the whole sur
mounted by wide fiat picture hat in
straw and white ribbons.

Honest j
Truss.

Look at its meritsl It is scientific in
strument and holds securely with less
than one half Of the pressure Of any other
truss. The reason for this is obvi0us-it
holds in the right direction, in the right
place, and there Is no pressure wasted.
The pad Is unlike all Others-is Of ex-
actly the proper size and shape to close
the upper internal, as well as the ex-
ternal ring or opening Of the hernia
lrupture), thereby completely retaining
the rupture, thing that no other truss
does.
The instrument is so constructed as 70
allow perfect freedom of the limbs, and
at the same time gives pressure horizon
raj at the back with the pad in front. All
other trusses allow the band to 90 around
the body higher up behind than the mad
is in front, The result with them Is that
when the gut decends from the BODY. IL
glances under the pad, for the spring
being higher behind, there is tendency
for the front pad to raise upon the slight
est proyOcation.

FIRST GUN OF The CAMPAIGN.


Ohio Republicans Inaugurate the Political
Battle by II Monster Meeting at Colum-
bus.
COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 1.-THE people
Of Ohio opened the presidential cam
paign Of their Iellow-citizen, William
Mckinley, at Columbus Saturday with
much enthusiasm. Twenty thousand
voters came from the cities, towns and
hamlets of Ohio TO lend their presence
! to the first important meeting of the
campaign. There were a number of
Mckinley men from West Virginia and
Pennsylvania. Such cities as Toledo,
Cleveland and Springfield sent long
special trains loaded with hundreds of
enthusiasts.
1t was expected by a great many
that Maj Mckinley would be present,
but he is at work on his letter of ac-
ceptance and wrote Chairman Kurtz,
of the state central committee, that he
did not think it wise to depart from his
determination to make no political
speeches outside of Canton. Maj. Nc
Kinley thought, too, that the trio of
distinguished speakers secured for the
occasion needed no reinforcement.
The expectation of the managers was
realized. All of the speeches were
most respectfully listened to. The
great audience began to assemble for
the day meeting at 1890. 1t was al
most two hours later when Messrs.
Sherman, Foraker, Woodford and
Bushnell drove up to the big tent
where more than 10000 people were as
sembled.
Gov. Bushnell presided, and after
some pleasant words of welcome in
troduced Senator Sherman. The greet
ing which Senator Sherman received
was most cordial and when moment
later he commenced his speech with
an eulogy of Maj Mckinley, the audi
ence cheered Justify. Senator Sher-
man was given the closest attention.
Not only was there deep and gen.
eral desire to hear his discussion of
the money question, but in the mind
of every listener was the notion that
the speech he was about to hear con-
stituted in reality the first step toward
Senator Sherman's campaign Tor re-
election to the United States senate
When Senator Sherman finished,
Gov. Bushnell introduced Senator-elect
Foraker. The cheering which greeted
him lasted two or three minutes When
he mentioned McKinley's name in his
opening remarks, the scene which fol-
lowed was like the memorable one in
the st. Louis convention when he men
toned McKinley's name in his nomi-
mating speech.
The meetings closed at night with
addresses in the great tent by Lieut..
Gov. Jones and Gen. Stewart L. Wood
ford, of New York. The audiences was
even larger than that which listened
to the speeches of Senator Sherman
and Senator-elect Foraker in the after
noon.

Spaniards May Demand 1t for Alleged
Damages Sustained from Fllibusterlng
| Expeditions.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.--The Spanish
government is preparing big bill Of
damages to be presented to the United
States on account Of the numerous ex-
peditions alleged to have gone from
our shores to the relief of the Cuban
insurgents In support of its claim to
reparation it intends to invoke the
precedent established by the United
States against Great Britain in the
celebrated Alabama claims awards
made by the Geneva arbitration tribu-
nal
There have been reports heretofore
that Spain at the proper time would
present series of claims on account
of the use the insurgents had made of
the United States as base of supplies
for hostile operations in Cuba. These
were nothing more than rumors until
Saturday when government officers re-
ceived copies of report of the Spanish
legation made by it's legal adviser,
Calderon Carlisle. The report is
printed in pamphlet form and makes
book of over 800 pages.
The Wiborg case recently decided by
the United States supreme court is
cited and referred to as the one soli-
tary conviction obtained by the United
States since the beginning of the pres
ent Cuban insurrection. The attorney
says it is thought proper to show from
the case of the Geneva award against
Great Britain what the United States
expected of a neutral nation and also
10 recall the attitude of Spain towards
the United States during the civil war.
The principles enforced by the United
States against Great Britain as those
which should have governed her con-
duct would seem, the report says, to
be clearly applicable to the duties and
obligations of the United States toward
Spain in the present instance. In re-
viewing the Geneva award, the report
says twas clear that the United States
made its complaint mainly upon the
fitting out and shipping from England
OF vessels and supplies. In concluding
the first section of his report Mr.. Car
Isle says the powers invested in the
president of the United States have
not been effectively used for prevent
ing the carrying on of military expe-
ditions forbidden by the statutes.
The United States, he says, con-
tended at Geneva that no nation can,
under cover of the DEFICIENCIES of it's
own laws, disregard duties toward an
other power. Whatever pretext and
attempts may be made to carry on
these expeditions as peaceful and law
full voyages, the f!ct remains, says the
attorney, that from the beginning of
the insurrection the basis of supplies
for war material has been in the United
States
