VARIOUS NOTES.
Popular Materials and Colors For Winter
Dress Goods.

Popular Materials and Colors For Winter
Dress Goods.
Stripes, both large and small, have had
great vogue this season, as have shep-
herd 8 plaids and checks. Even the flow
cred muslins and challies have had stripe
running through them, while striped taft
fetas have enjoyed the utmost favor. 1t Is
little early yet to accurately foretell
whether stripes will be worn to an equal
extent during the winter, but bright plaids,
both for bodices and trimmings, are likely
to remain in style.
There is no diminution in the populari-
ty of green, and violet is close second.
This latter color and the flower from which
1t is named have enjoyed highly fash
ionable position for an unusual length Of
time rs fashions go in these days.
In spite Of the representations of the
decline and fall of crepon, many Of the
Paris models of autumn costumes are in
this material, which is serviceable and at
tractiye. Canvas which, it was foretold,
would take the place of crepon, has not
yet done so and is not likely to do SO I'M
mctliately.

styles, is as much in favor as ever. The

Stone SOles For Shoes.

A German inventor has hit upon q
method of putting soles on boots and
shoes. He mixes a waterproof glue with
o suitable quantity of clean quartz sand
and spreads it over the leather sole used as

to be quite flexible and practically indie

Preserved among the papers Of General
Oliver Woloott Of historic and patriotic
1dtchf1eld, Conn, has bean found an In
tereSting document regarding the statue
Of King George III, which ives thrown
down By the Americans on Bowling Green
In New York city OF the outbreak Of the
Revolution In 1910. The document yields
history In form which history seldom
assumes--that Of an account current-and
II gives the credit for the final conversion
Of the statue into cartridges for the use Of
the patriot army where 1t belongs-to the
women of LitohAeld.
Governor Wolcott was a most valued
helper Of Brother Jonathan Trumbull Of
Lebanon. The statue was an equestrian
figure Of the king, made Of lead and richly
gildcd. 1t was set up In Now York on
lower broadway In ITO, on birthday Of
the kings father. When the statue was
torn down, It was broken to pieces, and,
lead being scarce and dear, 1t was trans.
ported over one Of tho rookiest and hilliest
Of countries to this inland town for safe
keeping.
The generals paper, Followed with age,
contains statement OF the number OF
bullet cartridges made from the materials
Of the effigy by the melting pots Of the
young women Of 1itchfeld. 1t bears these
words:

ton. But at the best there is so much of ac-
cuniulated debris of every sort In them ali
that they offer more than ordinary oppor-
tunity for originating as well rs spreading
disease. The semf-occasionai sweeping
they get makes matters very little better.
1t Is the experience OF probably every
large city that lis alleys are the lurking
places, not only OF disease, but OF vice
and criminals. These conditions are not
as aggravated In Washington as elsewhere.
yet they prevailhere to oanextent that makes
the application OF a remedy necessary.
Chief among the sources of disease in ilie
alleys are the diiapidatcd houses used for
dwellings. The majority of these are In
an unsanitary condition, lacking even the
necessary features contributing to ordinary
cleanliness. They are damp and poorly
ventilated, and when two or three families
are crowded into one OF these shanties,

Weyier's Blue Pencil.

When tire present captain-general OF Cuba

the mistake of his life. He ought to have
become an editor. He is no big shakes as a
stratcgist. but when it comes TO editing
copy" he can give most OF US Literary
fellcrs" cards and spades and then beat us
at the game. The way Weyler handles his
blue pencil is simply beautiful. He is posi-
lively an artist In his line. The official
dispatches that emanatc from his head
quarters are models of one-sidedness. and
the excision of all Objectionable news
from Spanish point of view, OF course
is carried to absolute perfection.
Weyler is not taking the field. He an
nounced shortly after his arrival In Ha-
vana that hc could direct the campaign
better from the captair-gencral's palace

THAT BIG PILE OF GOLD.
Some of the Things That Could Dc
Done with 1t.
st. Louis Globe.Democrat.

st. Louis GlObe-DemOcrat.
The physical dimensions of the amount OF
gold just offered to the Unit ed States gov
ernnientby its citizens can be cOmprehended
| only after little comparative figuring.
The sum rendered was $55S, ,269 $50. In
cubic bulk this would more than fill a
room twelve feet long, twelve feet wide
and twelve feet high. The worlds great
est giant would not come within four feet
of seeing the top OF 1t. To be exact, it.
would make / .S5s.37 cubic feet, or a cube
of 1872 feet. Measured In q single Iine of
double Gag les, laid fiat, the distance bet ween
the end coins wouId be 594.74 miles. In
eagles the distance thus covered would be
J2o.16 miles, and in gold collars 4, sic. .09
miles, or farther than from st. Louis to
London. Stacked in double eagles the
column would reach skyward 1892 miles,
or In gold dollars 1856 miles.
The amount would plate with gold dol.
lars, from curb TO curb, a street as wide
as Pine a distance of five and oDe-haif
miles, or, say. from the Globe Democrat Of
flee to Forest Park and a mile and half
into the park, forty feet wide. The total
in gold coin would huild a wall three feet
high, two feet wide and 319 feet long. A
elections whiie be was counting the money
in gold dollars, working ten hours a day,
including Sundays and holidays, ut the rate
OF 200 dollars n minute, never stopping for
meals or missing a scoonu of the working
time. He would finish the Job in twelve
years 272 days Lours and 30 IL min
utes, and probably refuse to take another
like 1t at any salary.
In weight the gold rendered is tantallzing
rather than tempting to the train robber. It
would tip the scale with considerableempha-
sis at $500. .5s3.Str pounds, or 2 ,O4S,615
pounds ayoirdnpois. Stated in avoirdupois
tons the figure is 1.O23.8. One hundred
and three railway freight cars, with a ca
pacity OF ten tons each, would be required
for the load, making five trains OF twenty
cars each. with three cars over.
The most skillful goldbeater can spread
q grain OF gold over 70 square inches.
Applying his art TO the gold offered the
Treasury he could produce leaf enough to
gid 269.OS square miles, or a gIitterfhg
road fifty feet wide around the world, or a
pathway OF gold five feet wide to the moon.
a grain Of gold can be drawn into q wire
600 feet long. Reckoning this upon the
basis Of the amount bid for gives q total
length Of 1,36S .s54.747 miles. which
would give an ample relay OF fourteen gold
wires to the sun, or one wire to Saturn and
half way back again. II would not quite
reach to Uranus and would fall consider
ably short OF Neptune, the outermost mem. 4
