Many Of the models for summer
gowns, says New York fashion writer,
have flat baTds of velvet sewed on the
skirt or lace Insertions set in about four
inches apart, some of these showing a
color contrasting with that of the dress
set beneath each row of insertion. Tiny
ruches of silk outline the skirt seams,
and wider ruches trim the extreme edge
af the skirt, adorn the sleeves and finish
the diminutive shoulder cape, and on
other gowns accordion plated frills rip
pie all over the dress from the neck of
the bodice to the bottom of the skirt.
The sleeve tops are a mass of the plat
ings and the little Marie Antoinette
fichu or French pelerine is edged with
single, double or triple rows of the frills.

PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.

February 17.-pitcairn'i theatre hat bin
called a little breeze In the house tonight
when 1t was on second reading. II passed,
&C to %, but there was plenty Of evidence
that 1t will have rough sliding when the
final test comes. The galleries were filed
with ladies and some OF the members played
for their favor.
Mr.. Berger, OF Philadelphia, termed It q
crank measure. placing 1t in the same class
with the anti-football and cigarette meas
measure. Mr.. Pitcairn defended tn bill by
saying that 1t was prepared by tho Woman's
club OF Pittshnrg, and was endorsed by all
the theatrical managers Of the Smoky City.
February lS.-Speaker Boyer called the
house to order promptly at IL o'clock this
morning. When the reports Of committees
were called for Chairman Heidelbaugh. Of
the law and order committee recommended
afirmatiyely the bill OF Representative Neil
haney, OF Pittsburg, known rs the antitreat
bill.
Chairman North, OF the committee on fed
eral relations, reported negatively the Cuban
resolution.
A the conclusion OF the reading OF the
bills in place, there followed what is consid.
cred the most important action OF tho state
legislature thus fur. namely the final reading
OF bills. The first Is an act to provide for
the pay and mileage OF coroners for viewing u
body when no inquest is held. The bill was
passed by q vote OF 157 to 10, and Is the
first measure made a law by the present
body.
February IA score or more OF resolu-
lions OF more or less importance were pre-
sented.
Many committees reported bills also.
Among those recommended aflirmatively
were those authorizing the purchase OF I'M

LAST YEAR : LIQUOR LICENSES,

II the number OF licenses issued by the
Government during the past year furnishes
any indication, there has been II marked de-
crease In the sale OF intoxicating liquors
since the first dry OF January, 1896.
For tho twelve months ending December,
81, 1896, there were 225 ,09l licenses issued by
the Government. including ga, 29i to retail
liquor dealers: 1913 to wholesale liquor deal
crs; 1855 to rectiilers; 12,06i to retail malt
dealers, and 1866 TO brewers. While tho
years business shows that n vast amount OF
money has been expended in strong drink
the total number OF licenses for the year falls
3400 short OF 1895.
This decrease may be due in n measure to
moral impro vement, but the explanation
which will be most generally accepted is that
the sale OF liquor has been affected by adverse
conditions.
Tho largest number OF saloon Licenses
issued to any district in the United States
was issues 10 the first district Of Illinois,
which includes the city OF Chicago, the mum.

first district OF California, with 1850, and

The Apostles Creed Is n model confession
of faith. II comprises the fundamental
truths and cardinal facts Of the Gospel. II
sets forth the existence aud work of God the
holy spirit, and the facts as to the human
birth, life, suiIcrings, death and glorious
resurrection of Jesus Christ. The truths
are those universally received by Christcn-
dom, and the facts are part Of universal
history. The confession is worthy to be re-
cited every Lords day by the whole congrc.
CATION Of the faithful.
Underneath these facts is n philosophy.
Men must think about tn" facts. compare
them one with another. and cndcayor to
adjust them TO other great ~voritics Of the
material and moral universe. The facts re-
main undisturbed by the spcculations,
which are merely the thoughts Of men
about the mighty things given in the Gospel.
As all men agree rs to the facts, but diner

10 receive any information whichever oil

grant these courtesies is said TO have

Chiei Naval Constructor Hichborn is
opposed to sending cadets abrosd. He
says that The same course can be taken
