SAY MACEO
WAS POISONED.

Key West, Fla, Dec. 2I.-
Advices from Havana state
that the arrival of the Amer
lean newspapers have at last
convinced a majority OF the
Cubans that Maceo has been
treacherously slain BY the
Spaniards, though a large
majority are still Inclined to
doubt. The latest story cur
rent among the Cubans in
Havana is that Maceo, young
Gomez and thirty oth9rs, in
Guiding five Americans, were
poisoned by Or Zertueha,
who sold himself to " eyler
and Ahumada. II IS stated
that the bodies wcra recoser
ed by Baldomoro Acosta, the

ed to a medical examination,
which proved that poison had
been administered in lar e
quantities.

Barring was the trustee of the

and the old lady charged HIM
with every crime in the calen-

trustee robbed her of about
100000.
Mrs. Green has one enemy
remaining, however. This Is
Joe Choale, consul for Barring
and candidate for the United

The litigation has been pro

THE SENATE.
The Cuban Resolution VIII
Be Reported To-Day
Homestead Bill.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 20.
The senate will be in session
two days this week, and COM
paratively little will be accom-
plished in this time. Ordinari
ly a quorum would not be
present, with the holidays SO
near, but the Cuban question
will have the effect Of attract
ing a good attendance to-mor-
row, when the Cuban resolu-
ton as agreed to by the com
mittee on foreign relations will
be reported to the senate. The
report will be written and IS
quite voluminous. When its
presentation will be used as a
pretext for the discussion of
the Cuban question at this
time is as yet uncertain. 1t
is contrary to the policy
of the committee on foreign
relations to have the matter
discussed previous to the holi-
days, members OF the COM
mittee may want to express
their opinions at this time,
There is, however, no probabil
ity of any effort to secure &C
ton on the resolutions now.
Senator Pettigrew's free home
stead bill is the unfinished bus
mess on the senate calendar,
and the senator will make a
strong effort to secure its pas
sage before the adjournment
for the holidays on Tuesday.
Mr.. Pettigrew seems confident
of success by a large majority,
and says that he will not re
quire more than an hour to
get it through when considera
ton is once begun.
Senator Platt and some 9th
er eastern senators are oPPos
ed to the bill.
Senator Gear will make an
effort to get up his bill authc
rizing the settlement of the
Sioux City and Pacific debt
but his success in this will de
pend upon the disposition o
the free homestead bill.

HAIL TO THE HooPsKIRT.

Hoopskirts are coming back into
fashion.
Two of the Partisan fashion journals
received in New York last week con-
tanned pictures of the rejuvenated
hoop, with long descriptions of it.
But before the Paris papers came with
the pictures hoopskirts were already
displayed at two very swell shops in
this city -one in big Sixth avenue
show window, the other in the window
of Fifth avenue modesto.
Small groups of women gathered
daily and looked at them, apparently
with pain.
The new hoopskirt does not differ
to any great extent from those worn
during the days of the Republican
Court by Mr.. Washington, Mrs. Will
lam Duer, Mrs. Alexander Hamilton,
Mrs. John Jay, Mrs. Harrison Gray
Otis, Mrs. William Bingham, the
great Philadelphia leader of society
and fashion, and by many others.
The hoopskiTts now on exhibition
in this city were manufactured here
two weeks ago by a well-known hustle
manufacturer as soon as the news
came across the water that the old
fashion was to return. Fashion Jour
nails show patterns for skirts to be
worn with the new hoops.
One OF these shows a skirt contain.
ing thirteen cores, having straight
edges meeting bias edges in the seams,
which are to be plated and gathered
slightly at the back. To make this
skirt for women of medium size re.
quires IA! yards of material twenty
two inches wide. This would give a
circumference at the bottom of 123
feet. No crinoline or extra heavy
lining is TO be used. The hoops are
supposed to do all of the haring neces-
sary. The modistes who were inter
viewed said they had received no or
ders yet for skirts to be made for
hoops, but that as the edict had gone
abroad they expected orders soon. The
makers and the wearers on this side OF
the Atlantic do not favor the hoop.
The hustle is already here in great
numbers, and is freely advertised by
several of the large establishments.
Probably those who most bitterly
regret the coming of the hoop are the
officials and stockholders of the street
railway transportation lines. 1t is es-
timated that three women wearing the
new hoops will occupy one entire side
Of Broadway cable car. The top OF
the Fifth avenue stage is suggested as
the best and most convenient place for
hoop wearers to ride. New York

A DANGEROUS ROAD.

A road leads through this world, my
friends, road that is broad and smooth, and
well trodden by the merry feet OF countless
thousands, who nro hurrying onward and
downward, says the last issue Of Temperance
Truth. 1t starts in the high region Of lawful
indulgence and is miscalled the road OF
moderation. At first the descent Is gentle,
but gradually 1t becomes more abrupt, until
finally 1t ends in the valley OF excess.
Many are travelling on this road-many
who think they are safe, because, for long
time, 1t may be. they have been accustomed
to use alcoholic stimulants without going to
excess. Some may not reach the gloomy
end; for while 1t is true that not every
moderate dtinker becomes a drunkard, yet
1t is absolutely true that every drunkard was
once moderate drinker. Are you of tho
class Of constant drinkers? Have you felt
the desire for siimulants insensibly grow
upon you2 Have you felt the narrowing
clutch of irresistible habit? 1t would be
better 10 get within the safe barriers of total
abstinence at once. Retrace your steps while
region OF safety. For that dark and dreary
valley Is filling up with neglected graves,
over each OF which experience and wisdom
and truth have united TO place this mournfu
inscription;
Here lies the wreck of what was once the
noblest handiworB OF Coda man with an
immortal soul redeemed by the blood o.
Christ. Eternal rest has not been granted I'd
him, for the blood of Christ has been shed
for MIN in vain. Perpetual light does not
shine upon him, for il is written that no
drunkard shall inherit the kingdom OF God" T"

WHAT ISrEMPERAYoE DOES.

The New York Journal, in an article In
which 1t counted up the financial and other
cost OF intemperance in its city, concluded as
follows:
But Father Knlckerbocker's loss Is nothing
to that OF these citizens themselves. The
years army Of unfortunates whom liquor
led to law-breaking, II placed In single file,
allowing each person two feet to walk In. /.
would stretch from the Tombs prison in New
York TO the Jail in Newark, n. J. Such al
weary woeful line never marched in all this
worlds no spectacle so horrible as this con1
eentrntion Of the drlnk-born horrors Of New
York alone was ever presented to civillEa-
tlon. But II it were, its frightful things were
unseen. Those who watched this growsome
line would SEQ $4,000 men whose proud
manhood alcohol had defeated 5000 women,
from whom liquor had stolen all that was
best and highest. But they would only see
the wrecks. To fully sense the dreadful
meaning of the sad line they would have to
see parallel procession containing those
marchers as they were before their fall.
And even that would not half tell the hor-
rid tale. 1t would only show the work of
liquor on the ones who had drunk 1t. An.
other and even greater army would be re-
cruited IL those who suffered in 1895 through
the intemperance of others were gathered
Wives bruised and bleeding from drunken
husbands brutal blows would be in this ar
ray; children neglected and left to starve by
drunken mothers would totter weakly in its
ranks; mothers distressed and broken by the
| sins of offspring, liquor-wrocked, would
! walk, weeping; husbands, gloomed and des-
perate through the wickedness Of drink
drugged wives. would march blindly.
That "at the end it stlngeth like an adder,
is shown by the city's hospital reports. Six
hundred and eighty deaths were directly
caused by drink in 1895. OF the 5T37 lyesI
| lost through pneumonia, at least one-half,
the doctors say, might have been saved had.
| the victims not been weakened by alcohol
Consumption claimed 52O4 victims in 1885,
and Of these 1000 might have lived on If they
had not used liquor. And so the story goes.
| 1t is weary, weary story of misery and
wreck and death. No temperance lecture
ever spoken was half so powerful as this
sermon against strong drink, which strong
drinks own awful work shouts to all who
| will listen.

FASHION NOTES.

Authorities claim that with the tight
sleeve will come also the Vatican
style of dress and panniers.
Gold and silver ribs are used in
light parasols, and the handles and
sticks are imported in endless varie-
ties.
Braid is once more to regain its
own. As trimming for a seryiceable
skirt graduated rows look exceedingly
well.
Cloth skirts with capes to match,
worn with n silk blouse, have been ex-
tremelY popular in London for some
time.
The open coat is certain to be pop
ular. As q waistcoat white lace frills
and black velvet trimming will be ef-
fective.
Shrink all cotton goods before MAX
ing up, especially for shirt waists.
Interline the collar and cuffs of these
with coarse linen to hold the starch.
A novely waist is made of silk in
clan plaid. The fullness is gathered
into the belt and collar, and wide
epaulets and revers of velvet are used
as trimming.
A new travelling outfit is made of
wool material in a medium shade of
brown, with large crossbars making
checks four or five inches across. The
dress is cut in Princesse fashion, and
has a very full cape rufile sewed in
around the collar, and falling over the
tops of the sleeves.
A stylish waist is of spotted crepon.
1t has a deep square yoke of velvet,
edged with embroidered galloon with
metal threads. From the side seams
to the bodice point are wide bands of
velvet ribbon. Three of these on each
side meet at the bodice and are finished
with a large bow. The velvet collar
has large bows on either side of the
front, and the enormous football
sleeves have galloon bands at the el.
bows.

TRAVELLING SKIRTS WITH POCKETS.

The fact that an article may have
been principally used for mischievous
purposes is not, and should not be q
bar to its adoption when it can be
made to serve useful ends. The ac-
count of the arrest of woman wear
ing skirt with large pockets sug-
gested to an ingenious damsel q most
happy possibility.
Being fond of taking short trips,
and very much disllking the cumber.
someness of satchel or bag, she
made series of pockets in apetticoat.
These were designed to hold brush and
comb, manicure set, powder in a tiny
package, and other small articles that
she might need. A little pastboard
box not much larger than q good-sized
candy box held lawn gown and
India silk and lace matinee. When
she wished a further equipment, a
larger box was provided, and an ex-
ira waist put in, as well as O pair of
silk hose and such other necessaries
MS the length of stay demanded. Of
course, Immediately on her arrival
the toilet articles were arranged on
the dressing case, and her skirts were
relieved of all weight.
She says that this arrangement is
infinitely more convenient than the
old fashion of carrying a travelling
bag. She told her idea to some young
friends, and several Of them have ex-
pressed their determination to try the
experiment. There might be times
when such device would have very
evident uses. Certainly anything that
will reduce the bulk of hand luggage
is to be welcomed, especially if the
weather is unpleasant and one must
hold up the dress or carry an um.
brella.
On one occasion this young woman
took waist, matinee, night dress and
toilet articles in these pockets. She
had to carry an umbrella and hold up
her dress, and thanked her stars that
she had no parcels with which her
hands need be occupied.
Ingenuity is a good thing, and
when it works in the direction of saw
ing trouble and worry it is exceeding.

HER HUNGRY QUESTS.

Mrs. Davis, wife of the Senator, has
recently undergone a novel experience
which she is called on to narrate at
every fresh gathering. The California
Indians who are at present in the Cap
ital determined to call upon her dis
tinguished husband, but found only
the lady at home, as it was her Gus
tomary day for receiving. With true
hospitality Mrs. Davis made them
welcome to her homo and her board,
but the latter, with its tempting array
of good things, proved too much for
Indianlnerves, They ate with the en-
thusiasm of their native appetites, and
not content with satiated hunger piled
their pockets with what remained. 1t
is said in Washington that never be-
fore was an afternoon tea service made
to disappear so suddenly, but that
Mrs. Davis maintained unrufiled calm
to the end. New York Journal.
