edges of the silk turn back to form
revers faced with the white stuff, but
the high wired collar is of the figured
silk, as are the sleeves whose big puffs
end in tight cuffs. Around the waist
is worn gilt belt, and the basque is
lined with white silk. If preferred, the
belt may be of ribbon to match the
bow above, but the gilt belts are in
great favor just now.

Celebrations to summer dresses and
they will render the often thankless
task of making over productive of very
satisfying results. Take, for instance
that last summers white muslin, made
with simple round waist with a pretty
bag front, a high stock collar and a
folded white belt. 1t seems a little
skinny for the coming season, so make
jaunty little coat out of the gone-by
blue watered silk skirt. You can get
enough out. The coat need not come
together In front if you are skimped
for stuff. You see, it's always right
but this time it is easy to cut your
coat according to your cloth A folded
belt, wide and perhaps extending only
from edge to edge of the coat by way
of fastening it, finished with a rosette
and long ends completes the coat, the
bag front of the muslin shows waist
coat fashion, and the whole costume is
as new as need be; besides, the coat
can be worn with other skirts.

AMBASSADORS IN LONDON.
The Extraordinary Privileges They Have
IL Against Laws and Customs.
{Ernm Casscll's Iour nal

(From Cassc.ps Journall
The foreign ambassadors accredited
to the court of St. James are, as in fact
the law looks upon them, little kings,
being privileged beyond any subject in
the realm.
The law of nations has decided that
the ambassador, like the royal sover-
eign, is above the law, a statement
which implies that he may do just as he
likes. 1t is certain that he may conn
nit murder and not be liable to arrest
by the myrmidons of New Scotland
Yard; he may be guilty Of robbery with
violence, and no judge can threaten him
with Imprisonment or ''the cat; he may
forge, rob banks and even seriously as
sault the prime minister, and yet go
quietly home to dinner without the
least fear of being served with a police
court summons on the following morn
ing. He can do more than this-he may
actually endeavor to dethrone the queen,
as did Mendoza, the Spanish ambassa-
dor in Elizabeth's reign, or plot to take
her life, as did L'Aubespine, the French
ambassador, in 1854, and yet not suffer
the penalty of the law; for though the
arm Of the law can take hold Of most
wrongdoers, the ambassador is an ex-
ception.
1t may be asked what can be done to
an ambassador who, for instance, COM
mits murder or treason. Has the state
no remedy? All that the state can do
in such cases is to oppose force to force,
expel the offending minister from the
country, and make a representation
to the ambassador sovereign, request
ing him to punish him for his behavior.
In the event of the sovereign ignoring
the request, this would probably be a
cause of war between the two nations.
AS we have seen that an ambassador
may with impunity commit all these
criminal acts, 1t is not surprising that
the civil injuries which one suffers at
his hands are not redressible in the Eng
Hsh courts of law. The baker, butcher,
and fish monger, in fact, any tradesman
who supplies goods on credit to an am
bassador, or members of his suite, does
so at his own risk. You cannot county
court an attache or sue an ambassador;
in fact, If you attempted even to serve
a summons you would eventually APP
pear before the lord chancellor and two
judges, who would impose upon you GER
tain penalties, and corporal punishment,
if need be, for thus violating the law of
nations. This privilege, according to
most authorities, even extends to the
ambassadors domestic servants, pro-
vided their names be registered with the
secretary of state.
But the ambassadors privileges do
not stop here. Neither the rate collector
nor the tax collector calls upon him, for
he pays no taxes, and, though it is true
that he cannot send his letters without
first affixing postage stamps in the ordi-

legislation soon becomes imperative.
Unjust laws are freely broken and the
local knowledge that the law-breakinS
is going on without even local con-
domination results in diminishing re-
spect for law and lower standard OF
morality. 1t is upon the poorer people
that the present Sunday restriction fails
more heavily-for the wealthy nave
their Sunday beverages Independent OF
the excise laws" Concerning the relig-
ious side of the question DR.. Rainsford
said: 1t is charged by some that by
opening the saloon on Sunday the law
of God is violated. The Lords Day is
the day of the Son of Man. The needs
of men grow as our life becomes more
strenuous. On the seventh day we re-
quire a rest, we require q change from
hold that on this day we should not
close the only meeting places of the
ally given to recreation. If l could by
holding up my finger close the saloons
not hold up the finger. could not do
it in the name of religion. We cannot
force the people into the churches by
forcing them out of the saloon, and we
should not presume upon driving them
from this single pleasurable retreat I'M
til we have provided them with other
places of resort.
as freely as did the Rev DR.. Rainsford.
He said the petition represented the
the people not only of New York, but
of the whole country. He urged that
to be Endorsed by the churches was a
potent force in making infidels. The
common people desired none of this re-
ligion, which deprived them Of the only
pleasure they could find on the Sab
bath. He appealed for more liberal
Sunday laws in the interest of public
morals. saying in conclusion; Do not
let the children of our great cities grow
up believing that Sunday is day Of
oppression, else when more mature they
will look upon religion contemptuously.
If these preachers of the gospel of
Christ are right what this great and
ostensibly Christian country needs to
make it better is open saloons on Sun
days If this is true the situation is
rather melancholy. tt is true that the
churches don't seem to be as successful
in their mission as could be desired, but
it would surprise some to see Sunday
saloons and goodness join hands. But
we suppose the priests ought to know
what is good for the people.

the court said, the deceased had paid q
sum equal. to the risk. 1t is an analo-
gous principle of law that where goods
are lost while in possession of a carrier
the sum received by the owner as in
surance against fire cannot be set off
against him in an action on the value
of the goods.

On the first appearance of coat bod

but now a tendency is noticeable to-
ward making the coat of a solid and

cause the coat takes it's dressy effect

But the figured silks that sell at reas-

cost. 1t is a model of this sort that is
shown to-day. Dark blue figured silk
is shown for the bodice, and the skirt
is taken from white flannel, being pink

The mother and wife of man killed
