The short cape of silk, taffeta or
satin is the legitimate sort OF fancy this
season. IL is of a brevity that allows
the slenderness of the waist to be vi5i-
hle and il widens the shoulders in spite
of dropping sleeves. When II Is made
in black IL glitters with jet and is
adorned with black gau2e plaitings or
rufiles and knots of satin or ribbon.
When the domain of color is entered
there is no limit TO the elaboration.
There are openwork arrangements over
bright silk Innings, applications OF lace,
beads and embroidery and innumerable
constructions more or less complicated,
In plated or rufiled gauze or chiffon.
The collars of capes match them in OK
travagance. The larger number OF
these on fine capes are lined with an
application of white guipure.
Lace is greatly favored at present.
White. ecru and yellow varieties are all
employed and black valenciennes Is
new and highly desirable development
for summer gowns of nainso0k ard
muslin. If the goods themselves can
be dyed n fast black there is no reason
why so valuable wash lace should
not he treated in the same way. and
this years fine dlmity costumes prove
that it has been done satisfactorily.
This fact receives additional import
ance from the other fact that black and
white continues to be very fashionable
this summer and it is by no means
confined to half-mourning wardrobes.

to Berlin. Later, when Bismarck made
his celebrated reconciliation visit in
Berlin, Schweninger cavorted about in
print and out in a most preposterous
fashion. He told the newspapers or
people who tell the newspapers that
the Emperor had insulted him by hav-
Ing only an ordinary cab at the station
to convey him. the only Schweninger
to the castle, and by allowing the court
marshal or chamberlain to assign him
to second or third-story room when
he should have been on the ground
floor right next to the Prince himself.
This seemed really to be one of the
keen sorrows Of Schweninger's later
days-that anybody could ignore go
completely his great reputation, dig
nifty. and deserts as to put him in a
cab and bedroom of the ground floor.

Peace and security are excellent.
Utopian plans are pleasant and much
to be desired, but how can they be
attained when people persist IN break
ing into houses aud cutting up all
sorts of capers to brighten the occu-
pants. Under cover of darkness
someone broke window light in C.

dow and succeeded in making his en-
trance as far as up stairs to The cham
Der which involved 4 tedious journey.
The girl, a sole occupant of the room,
being thoroughly frightened, upon
screaming, succeeded in arousiug the
other inmates but to late to collar the
thief who took his departure through
the window. This isn't the first &C.

international Marriages.

According to London social authori-
ties, the American girl has had her day
in Great Britain. English girls have
so profited by the stimulus afforded by
American competition that they have
developed an astonishing amount of
social tact and brilliancy and can no
longer be beaten on their own ground.
The gloreies of the international mar
rage have been much prated of, and it
will be sad blow to the American
debutantes to yield their aspirations
to gilded British titles and poverty
stricken British estates. The British
mamma, however, and the American
papa will, it is limited, be of one mind
in approving the new order of things.

The free silver craze commands at

shouters have become temporary lu-

John r. Mclean who ordinarily
would be considered sensible man !:
honestly believe that Mckinley
will not carry his own state. Let me
tell you something else. Mckinley
will not carry Maine. Maine is not
for a gold standard. Maine is a
greenback state and will cast her
vote for any good democrat on a free
silver platform. Such a candidate
will carry every state west of Penn
sylvania and south of the Potomac
river"
This evidences recklessness of
opinion that is appallingly crazy.
Mckinley's majority in Ohio will not
be less than 100000 and Maine will
give him at least 40, 900.
