MORE gown Tor visiting ana ceremonious
receptions which has just been put on view.
1t was of silver gray MORE. 1t looked real
ly like molten silver. The skirt was slash
ed and had two fan plaitings Of crimson
Grape The skirt was bordered all around
with O narrow band of grebe, which was
as we'll placed, as it must have been difficult
to apply. The waist was Of the crimson
Grape laid In narrow plaits, with belt Of
velvet in the same shade. The long,
wrinkled sleeves were of the MORE, with
bunchy little caps. The waist had a slash
ed bolero of the moire wrought with Grim
son soutache and bordered with the grebe.
A dainty little muff was made of lace and
crimson velvet.
There was at the same place very neat
home gown of Quaker drab rep silk. The
skirt had two lines Of black Persian fur bn
each side. The swiss belt and the simu.
lated figaro were also trimmed with 1t, and
O slash was set in the elbow sleeves. 1t
was an unusually pleasing gown. A few
years ago there was a fad for black ball
gowns for young ladies. This season there
is quite fancy for black silk gowns for
swell functions of every sort except for
dancing. Pretty shoulders show twice as
white against the black. A very handsome
dress of rich black grosgrain had demi-
train. All around the bottom there was
worked a deep design In fine jet and steel
beads. The baby waist was of ietted tulle
over silk. The sleeves and bertha were Of
plated black crepe lisse, with jet orna-
ments, and black velvet ribbon harness
decoration consisting of belt, bretelles and
small bows This gown was made for a
grand dinner; but, as il is so very becoming
and stylish 1t will be worn at dozen 9TH

for years, Is an old hand at the business
and has good sized fortune to operate
with Yet his Napoleonic stroke will be
held up as glttoring example by stock
brokers for months to come, and many a
"lamb" will be persuaded that he has
chance to go and do likewise.
Mr. Bell comes of an old and wealthy
New York family. He had obtained col.
lege education when In 1875 he was adj
mitted to the floor of the Stock Exchange.
He was an innocent looking, mild man.
nered young man then, and the shrewd
old bulls and bears said that 1t was pity
he had come into the street. They pre-
dicted that he would make easy pluoking.
But young Mr.. Bell seemed to realize that
he was young and inexperienced. He had
no business training and knew 1t. So,
instead of starting in as a plunger and
losing his fortune in year or two, he just
laid low and began to learn the ropes
Whenever he did any trading at all 1t was
light aud cautious. He was feeling his
way.
For Is years he kept very quiet, taking
q fier now and then, but keeping out of
big deals. He must have developed a won
derful amount of self restraint to do IL,
but he stood by and watched men making
and losing fortunes without sign Of i'm
patience to join the struggle which ragged
80 flercely around him. Finally In 1891
he surprised his fellow brokers by launch
ing boldly into the battle of speculation.
He had learned how to fight and win.
Joining number of other influential oper-
ators, he began to pound down stocks. He
was bear. Along in August of 1898,
when railroad stocks, which he had been
selling, got down to rock bottom, Bell be-
came bull and began to buy. Only one
other member Of the bear syndicate had
the courage to let go and follow him, but
Others were sorry they did not for soon aft
or Bell began to bull the market the reac-
tion set in, and stocks started to jump up
ward. He realized great fortune on that
deal, and Wall street revised its opinion of
Bell. 1t saw that he had in him the quail
tiles that go to make a successful specu-
lator
From that time on Bell was watched
carefully. He has made lot Of money
since and in every case has whipsawed the
market, selling as long as prudent and
then buying in again at just the right
time. His foresight is wonderful, and his

make very little fuss about the business OF
choosing chief executive. 1t is done so
quietly that no tourist ever had to post
pone mountain climbing trip because his
guide was off campaigning. The president
is not elected by general ballot, but is Sc.
lected by the executive council of the fed
Grafton. This council consists of seven
members and always chooses one of its own
number as chief executive. AS the mem
Der chosen for president Is certain to be the
retiring vice president, there is not even
the slightest speculation about the matter.
The Swiss president really has but little,
II any, moro authority than the other men,
bers of the council and acts as a sort of
lgurehead. He has charge of one of the
departments, as do the other councillors,
and Is not greatly troubled by the limited
amount of patronage he has to bestow.
DIR. Adolf Deucher, who has been elected
president of the Swiss republic for 1897, is
the retiring vice president. He is ply
sician, Is 65 years old and has done good
deal of officeholding since he became of
age. He studied medicine in the uniyersi-
ties of Heidelberg, Zurich, Prague and
Vienna and at the age Of "a became a
member of the grand council of Thurgau,
his native canton For three successive
terms he was elected president Of this body
and in 1868 he was called by the nation to
the constitutional convention.
From 1869 to 1878 DIR. Deucher was a
member of tho national council, and then
he retired, but In 1879 no was again elect
cd, and from 1882 to 1898 he was president
of the national council. During this time

the galleries never crane their necks to
pick him out on tho floor His Washing
ton residence Is not pointed out as one Of
the points of interest, and the general pub
lio only knows that he comes from some
where "down in Maine"
As matter Of fact, Mr.. Dingley's home
life Is fully as interesting as that of any
other public man. When he is "down in
Maine" he lives in q comfortable but un-
pretentious two story and half house in
Lewiston. His family consists at present
only of his wife-a pleasant faced, matron-
ly looking woman--and his daughter
Edith, a tall, beautiful girl.
Mr.. Dingley also has four sons, but not
one Of them remains beneath the parental
rooftree. II. M. Dingley, the eldest, is a
manufacturer and has a home of his own
In Lewiston; Edward N. Dingley lives in
Kalamazoo, Mich, where he Is the editor
and proprietor Of newspaper; Arthur
Dingley is associated with his brother in
the same enterprise, and Albert G.. Ding
ley, the youngest son, Is in Colorado for
his health.
The most interesting room In the Ding
ley residence Is the library. That is where
the congressman spends most of his time
when at homo. 1t contains q number of
well filed bookshelves, some easy chairs,
tea table, which betrays the fact that Mrs.
Dingley and her daughter also frequent 1t,
q little couch some dainty chairs and a
lot of pictures, many Of them photographs
taken by Miss Edith. The only corner of
the room which looks at all like literary
workshop is that in which stands fat
topped desk near window. The room has
none Of the appearance Of the ideal den of
a busy statesman, yet Mr. Dingley has
done moro work in 1t than the average con-
gresham usually Accomplishes in q life
time In this corner Mr.. Dingley has
studied tariff schedules and acquired the
financial knowledge which has distinguish.
ed him in Washington.
Besides being statesman Mr.. Dingley
is q journalist and has been ever since he
was "a. When no was graduated at Dart
mouth college, he invested his small capi-
tai in q half interest in the Lewiston Jour
nal, then a weekly paper with not very
tenacious hold on life. He finally acquired
complete control of the property, made the
paper a daily and built it up until it be-
came one of the most influential In Maine.
The paper is now conducted by Mr.. Ding
ley's brother, but he still retains q half
ownership and has desk at the office.
This desk, by the way, has furnished
many laugh for the members Of The
Journal staff. 1t is only 20 inches wide
and looks as If 1t had been sliced from a
full sized roll top, 1t was put in by Frank
Dingley with the intention of having some
fun with his distinguished brother, WHO
had asked for a desk in the Office But the
congressman went to work at it without
apparently noticing its size, and now Wis
itors to the sanctum are solemnly shown
the statesman's desk.
While in Washington Mr.. Dingley and
his wife and daughter occupy apartments
at hotel and mingle as little as possible
In capital society In Lewiston they have
their own circle OF friends, but do not en-
tertain on largo scale. Mr.. Dingley' e

WHAT DINGLEY DOES.
HOW THE LEADER OF The rou9E
SPENDS HIS TIME.

Has Won His Way TO the Fore by Inde-
fatlgable Industry-His Home In Maine
and His Twenty Inch Desk In the Lewis
ton Journal once.
One of the most conspicuous figures In
Washington just now Is Nelson Dingley,
Jr. IL is not any suddenly acquired prom
iDence or any chance stroke which has
brought him TO the front, but a natural
sequence of events. For years he has been
working quietly away, seldom taking the
floor in debate and not once making any
attempt at oratory Yet he has been a
power in the committee room, and when
ever he has risen TO speak on a question
In spite Of his weak voice and unadorDed
delivery he has always commanded the re-
speotful attention Of his fellow members.
But now many things seem to hinge on
Dingley, and he Is recognized as one Of
the men of the day. At the present time
he is hard at work on that much discussed
tariff bill. 1t will probably be introduced
into the next congress by some other man,
as 1t Is expected when that body meets he
will be occupying the Office Of secretary of
the treasury
Although having taken prominent part
In national affairs for so long period, Mr..
Dingley is perhaps as little known as any
other old member of congress Visitors in
