FASHION NOTES.
Collars Become More simple.


 A reaction seems to have set in against the fuffy-tuffs that so long have been popular and admired for neck wear. These embellishments are now being offered at cheapening prices, and the attention of buyers is still di- verted from the fascinating array of severe stocks and collars displayed. All swell mems furnishing places keep a supply of womens neckwear, and the very best places display fearful and wonderful combinations in the way of stocks and ties. Grass linen stocks with bandanna linen plaid ties crossing at the back and tying in front are very stunning, and, one imagines at once a girl in a grass or Russian linen gown, with d straw sailor bound with ban danna band and one of these stocks and bright ties about her neck Some few belts, too, are shown in bandanna plaid.
 Even about the collars of house dresses that are made with considera- ble elaboration there is frequently seen a severity of finish that in pronounced contrast with the recently prevalent

REPUBLICAN EQUALITY.

All men are created equal in this country, but they don't stay so any longer than they can help, and if they can't be unequal in any other way they will join some society and distinguish themselves from the rest of the folks by badges, buttons or regalia. The love of distinction is so powerful in men that they will even become Wide Awakes or something of that kind in a political campaign and really take pride in the cheap and gaudy rigs that make them conspicuous
 Human nature being what it is it is not surprising that even republics do not succeed in abolishing orders of chivalry and knighthood in their do- mains. The United States apparently does, but in reality it has more such orders than almost any other country on the face of the globe. Almost other of them, and some belong to forty or fifty. In several other repub- lies there is no pretence of equality. For instance, France has at the present moment no less than four orders namely, the Legion of Honor, the order of Agricultural Merit, the order of the Academy, and the so called Metallic Militaire," besides enjoying the right to nominate persons for the orders of Tunis, Annam and Cambodgia. The | tiny Italian republic of San Marine has | likewise a long list of decorations which it scatters broadcast in the most | lavish manner, and now the African republic of Liberia has followed suit and instituted the order of African Re l demption, its diplomatic representative l at Paris, who is a Jewish banker, hav- l ing ten days ago solemnly invested the papal nuncio with the grand cross | thereof Several of the Central and South American republics have orders of the same kind, Honduras having its or- der of Santa Rosa, Nicaragua it's order of San Juan, Venezuela it's order of Bolivar and Bolivia it's order of the Legion of Honor.
 The constitution of this country says: ssNo title of nobility shall be granted by the United States" But perhaps things will be fixed before long so that a few of us will be able to wear a ribbon that the other folks can't legally wear. When that time comes oh how proud and happy we who can wear the ribbon 1 that other folks can't shall be!

Common sense and prudence have prevailed in France in connection with the celebrated scheme for the construc- tion of ship canal from the Bay of Biscay to the Mediterranean. For the commission appointed to inquire into minds of Frenchmen and foreigners alike for a. number of years, has just reported that the undertaking is inn practicable from the point of view of a public company, and that the advan- tages to be gained are not sufficiently large or sure to justify the State incur ring the enormous expense which the construction of this waterway would entail. The minimum cost of the en- terprise would amount to three mill lizards of francs, and considering that the three great European ship canals, and of the Baltic, are still in the no profit stage, it is perfectly natural that the French government should hesitate about investing so large a sum of mon- ey in an undertaking that offers no prospect of any early or certain return
 The Russian government recently an- nounced to the Czar's subjects in pub lie proclamation the fact that Captain Andree's polar balloon expedition was about to start, partly in order to pre- pare them for the unaccustomed sight of the air-ship and allay their supersti- tious dread, partly to admonish them in case of need to assist the aeronautical explorers. The Swedish minister to St. Petersburg now supplements this an- nouncement by stating through the Russian press that the expedition, at the expense of Aftonbladet, of Stock holm. will take along a number of honl- ing pigeons, part of which between the middle of June and the close of July, will be set free on Spitzbergen Island, while the rest will be sent off during the con tinuance of the balloon voyage. The wings of the birds are marked by num- bers and the word, "Andree." Their destination is Hammerfest and envi- rons. They will carry dispatches in tubes attached to tail feathers. For capture or taking aboard of vessels as we'll as for their release and address ing of dispatches, special rules and prizes are given.

Does Fiction Provoke Crime?

Those persons who like to fancy that
published accounts of crimes tend to incits
people to commit similar crimes can amuse
themselves by discussing the possible re-
sponsibility of Mary f. wilkins for a re-
cent murder In Albany, Or. Miss Will
kins' detective story, published recently,
told of q woman who dressed In mans
clothes to commit murder. Very soon
after its publication this Oregon woman
actually donned male garb and committed
a murder. To be sure, she may never have
heard of Mary f. Wilkins or her story.
Then, again, it is usually the true stories
of crimes, as published in the newspapers,
which meet objection from these critics.
They may not be as ready to argue that
literature ought to be suppressed as that
news should be.-New York World

POLO ON BICYCLES.
How Francis Wilson and His Family
Amuse Themselves.

Amuse Themselves.
Francis Wilson, his two young daugh-
tors, Frances and Adelaide, and some
friends were playing polo on bicycles the
other day at 1.-THE Orchard, as Mr.. Will
son calls his home in New Rochelle, n Y.
Mr. Wilson claims to be tho inventor of
"bioycle polo," and no and his family
have played it great deal this summer
1t requires great skill and dexterity in
handling the bicycle.
The game is essentially polo, modified
somewhat to adapt it to the use of bicycles
instead of horses by the players. Mr.. Will
son uses oroquet mallets and balls. The
game is played on the tennis court. The
players hold the mallets in their right
hands and guide the bicycle with the left.
The scene is novel one when the game is
in full swing and the players are moving
swiftly here and there, turning abruptly
and making all manner of maneuvers.
Collisions are made but rarely
There was collision few days ago,
however, that nearly ruined Mr.. Wilson s
Wheel 1t is q rule of the game that the
players shall call out Danger" when they
find 1t nee essary to warn the other players.
Mr.. Wilson'S girls, who, as their father
says, ride their wheels like centaurs called
out simultaneously "Danger!" Mr.. Wilson
thought he would see what they would do
If he did not get out of the way. He found
out in a second. They came at him full
force and wrecked his wheel so badly that
he did not get it out of the shop for sew
eral days.
One of the tricks of the game is to stop
the rolling balls when desirable with the
wheels themselves 1t Is also necessary to
strike with the mallets in many difficult
positions, forward, backward and even be-
tween the wheels of the bicycle. The ele-
ment of danger In the game gives 1t addi-
tional zest. Mr.. Wilson claims that bicycle
polo Is productive of more fun than any
other game he knows. -New York Times.

VANDERBILT's SCHEMES.
The Great Projects to BE Carried Out ON
His Estate ut Biltmore.

His Estate ut Biltmore.
In the great outlay which George Van
derbilt Is making at Biltmore, In North
Carolina, the young millionaire has enter
tanned most serious purpose than Is gen.
orally known. A great deal has been writ
ten about the enormous house, with Its
library, chapel, scores Of bedrooms and the
army of servants which will be required
to keep 1t up, but not every one knows
that Mr.. Vanderbilt intends to make his
estate Mecca for all those who are seri-
ously interested in the Audy of forestry,
scientific farming and horticulture.
He has land enough to carry out any
scheme of this sort, no matter how big it
may be, as he can go DO miles in direct
line from his own door without passing
the confines of his domain. He proposes,
therefore, to create a neighbOrhOOd Of his
own on this vast property, which includes,
among other cultivated and uncultiyated
tracts, one forest alone of more than 100,
600 acres. He will build village contain
ing houses, stores and a picturesque inn,
and apartments will be rented to all prop
erly accredited students who desire to avail
themselves of the facilities offered there
for the study of the sciences which are his
hobby.
The farm will be conducted after the
most approved scientific fashion, and for
estry, which is almost unknown in Amer.
lea, and will become in few years a sci
ence of the greatest Importance to us, will
! be carried on experimentally and practical
~ to an extent never before attempted in
this country. Mr.. Vanderbilt has just re-
turned to New York from Biltmore where
he has been spending the summer in a
completed wing of his great mansion.
He expects to have the house finished in
time for Christmas house warming, the
guests at which will be chiefly members OF
his own family Edgar A. Poe once wrote a
story about man whose income was SC
large that landscape gardening was the
only hobby that could make any serious
inroads on it, and it may be that it was
this story that gave Mr. Vanderbilt his

The People who Buy Thine..


There is one class of people in the
United States which is specially inter-
ested in the agitation for free silver,
with its openly avowed purpose of rails
ing prices twice as high as they are
now. This is the consuming class COM
posed Of all tho people who buy things
To them the most important question in
regard TO the currency ia "Will our
money buy few or many things? We
now have an industrial and commercial
system in which wages are paid and
products bought and sold with . cur
rency which rests on gold standard
and has high purchasing power. II
we were to adopt the silver standard,
our money would buy only half the
quantity Of goods that it does now.
How would that help us, the 10000
900 American consumers?''
Free coinage politicians who are try
ing to gain votes by setting one class Of
citizens against another would do we'll
to remember that the largest class in
this country is that Of the people who
buy goods When they can show those
people that It is to their interest to pay
higher prices for what they consume.
