are putting in their annual first ap- pearances. A charming example is of white brilliantine, cut in princess style and edged along the opening from shoulder to ground with tiny frill of dark green ribbons looking out from under ecru lawn guipure. The same decoration is carried round the hem and about the white zouave, which is coy. cred with a jet lattice work, and which rises at the throat in Medici collar. A I dark green velvet hat hat is intended fer this costume and is trimmed with crim- son roses and white paradise plumes. Another demi-season walking dress is of green silk with white figures. The skirt is finished at the hem with alter, nate frills of green and white gauge rib bon, headed with band of green em- broidered gauge. The fronts of the folded bodice are edged with bands of gauge embroidered in green and black and open upon a vest of plaited white chiffon. Tight coat sleeves are used with ruffles of the silk carried about the armholes and finished with frillings of gauzy ribbon. 4 white Leghorn hat is 1 to be worn with garlands of roses and heavy dark green foliage.
 The indications are that tstreetdresses for the autumn will be longer than for several seasons. There has been a revo- lutien in London in this particular. Last spring walking skirts were much shorter there than here, but now trains are talked about seriously. 4 somewhat heavier dress than those before de scribed is of a soft creamy brown cloth with skirt filings Of silk of a somewhat darker shade The full bodice is ar ranged with three ruches of eeru chif- ion set across from shoulder to shoul- der with up and down plaits of the silk below. There are rather tight ruched sleeves. This dress is long enough to lie on the ground behind

A company of sturdy men and women who look at life through unselfish eyes, and have but little use for gold, who are preparing. nevertheless, to join the money-mad throng on the hills of the Klondike, presents paradox that piaues ones interest. The fact remains, however, and never did the greed for wealth inspire greater enthusiasm for the long and arduous journey north ward than does the object of this com pany's quest. It is mems souls, not nuggets, they are going to seek; the consciences of hardened men are the mines they will delye in; and they will not rest until they have banned out all the spiritual gold that is to be found i'll human nature there. These religious prospeetors are of the Salvation Army, and they start for Klondilxe as soon as Commander Booth-Tuclzer returns from England to perfect this most unusual campaign.
 Ever since the first wild scramble for the British Columbian gold fields set in, the high officials of both the Salvation Army and the American Volunteers
 
 have been considering plans for practi- cal work among the miners. That the men and women of the army and the volunteers are, with very few excep- tions, gathered from among the com mon people, the offspring of humble and hard-working folk, augurs well for their success among the rough classes with whom they will come in contact at the mines. In this fact lies their strength. h the old '49 days had such organiza- tions existed much of the variegated vice and wholesale bloodshed of those times would have been avoided. The history of '49 is not to repeat itself in the Klondike region.
 Field Commissioner Eva Booth, who is in command of the Salvation Army's operations in North America, exclusive of the United States, has already dis

New York.-The Casino hops at New port are much more brilliant than earlier in the season and are bringing out the handsomest evening dresses seen this summer. Mrs. John R. Drexel, who is one of the most beautiful of the younger matrons, appeared the other night in olive green tulle trimmed with violets knotted with cream-colored rib bons. Mrs. Royal Phelps Carroll, whose gowns are almost invariably artistic in design, wore paie yellow satin with sequin embroidery on bodice and skirt seams. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., was dressed in white satin embroidered with small bouquets of lilies of the val ley exquisitely worked. Mrs. Calvin Brice wore black tulle embroidered in silver; some dark red roses on the bodice gave touch of color to this very becoming toilette. One of her daugh- ters wore rose-colored satin with trim mings of pink embroidered chiffon. Mrs. Elisha Dyer, Jr.'s, costume was pale blue satin with costly lace decora- ltions. Miss Edith Gushing was gowned In pink embroidered crepe de chine edged with quaint silver bordering. It was noticeable that most of these but terfy gowns were cut with square decol- letage and that the skirts were even more airily behounced than is usual with afternoon dresses.
 A very successful costume for country wear in early September is of French gray silk with triple rows of black vel vet ribbon running around the skirt at intervals. Each row is caught with a tiny steel buckle. The folded bodice opens over an ivory satin waistcoat with application of guipure lace and narrow black velvet, and this in turn is cut to reveal an undervest of folded orange-colored chiffon. A big black hat completes this toilette, and is trimmed with roses and white ospreys.
 Another smart gray dress just put in commission is of China silk scattered over with pink rosebuds. The basque

patched Capt. Staiger and Lieut.. Thor oldson to Juneau to lay plans for a mammoth campaign in the early spring. Commissioner Booth has shown the deepest interest in the proposed opera tions, which are directly within her ter ritory, her field containing 3,500,000 square miles and extending from Ber- muda to Vancouver. Capt. Staiger, be- sides making such preparations for the arrival of the Salvation Army corps as he can at this time of the year, will con duct salvation services wherever suit able house for the purpose can be found. Capt. Staiger is an Ontario man and has been in the army many years. Lieut.. Thoroldson is a Swede accustomed to high attitudes; he has made a number of voyages far north and can endure the rigors of Klondike winter. These off cers have been ordered to go where the most people are and to hold open air meetings in the toughest as well as the most civilized sections.
 When questioned as to the probabiI- ity of her commissioners themselves becoming infected with the gold fever, Commissioner Booth replied with much spirit that such a thing was unthink- able; that to soldier of rank in the Salvation Army desertion was a crime only less heinous than backsliding from religion itself. Our soldiers are pledged by the sacredness of faith to stand by the Cross and the colors, !" said the fair commissioner; and she looked as if she were ready to prove her assertion.
 Doubling the reports sent eastward from the Pacific coast relative to the preparations that are making in the latter place for march on Klondike. Editor in Chief Cox, of the War Cry. the official organ of the Salvation Army. telegraphed to San Francisco for con hrmatlon of these reports, and was as- sured that they are entirely true. Among the advance guard off for the gold fields is Private Charles Fl. Dale. one of the best known characters of the army in the west. Dale is now holding meetings at Yukon, and will soon be joined by two men and two women from the salvation ranks. Dale has been ln the army only three months. but he is an enthusiast. He is a wealthy mine owner and warm per sonai friend of Mark Twain. the lat ter having dubbed him years ago aOld Hank"

 Still third costume of the same color is travelling dress not yet quite fin- ished for young girl who will be q September bride The material is pale gray mohair, patterned minutely with crossing lines of gray satin and azure blue The top of the skirt is completed with a folding belt and wide loops of blue caught with filagree silver discs. The bodice is of sky blue chiffon, ac- cordion plaited and having a loose bib arrangement of fine cream applique. The toque to match is trimmed with harebells and silver-colored chiffon.

The broad Tuscan hat was trimmed with pink roses and blue and white chiffon.
 The blue streak is continued in the latest thing for yachting, an eminently trim, trig gown of princess cut in blue serge.

 One element in the cheapening of canned goods is the cost of the cans" said the owner of one of the biggest can factories in the country. All the cans made in the United States to-day, if put head to head, would stand 100000 times as high as the Washington monu- ment. Fifteen years ago cans were made entirely by hand. The tin was cut into strips Of uniform size, bentint cylinders and soldered together. Heads were cut out of sheet iron and soldered in place. The cost of making these cans was ten dollars thousand without talk ing into account the material. The wholesale price of cans then was S25 thousand. To-day the cans of standard size-holding two pounds each-can be bought for $14 thousand. Machinery has made the difference. There are factories in New York. Baltimore, Chi eago and San Francisco where the making of cans is entirely automatic. We put a sheet of tin and lump of solder into one of these machines. The tin will first be cut into strips of the re- quired width, rolled and soldered, passed on to another piece of mechan- ism which puts a solid head in place at enc end and head with a round trimmed hole in the other; the heads will be soldered in place, the can will be passed through testing machine which will tell to certainty whether it is airtight, through water which puri- fies it, through an oven which dries it and then through a burnisher which turns it out completed, as bright and shining as the original piece of tin. The old hand canning is thing of the past. It used to employ from 5000 to 10000 every year in the Baltimore canneries. and as regularly as the canning season came around there was a strike of these operatives at the height of the business activity for higher wages.'
 What is the greatest canning center in the world ?"
 Baltimore. The whole number of cans made in the United States in a year is about 25o, ,oo0,o GOO. The Baltimore can factories alone turn out 150.0000 GOO a year. This is certain indication of the value of the canning industry itself, because the making of cans follows that industry, and there are can factories now all over the United States. The reason for the scattering of the busi- ness is the fact that freight rates on cans are high. For their weight, empty cans take up a very large amount of space Three boxes of sheet tin will make 1000 cans, and where the tin would pay 60 cents freight the cans would pay three dollars. It is natural, then. that where the canning is done there the cans should be made, and thaA is everywhere.''

GRANT HAMILTON.
AN EXPENSIVE ASSIGNMENT.
The Naval officers at the Queens Ju-
 bilee Paid We'll for Their Fun.

The Naval officers at the Queens Ju-
 BiIee Paid We'll for Their Fun.
 Naval officers on duty here await with interest the return of the officers who went to the queens jubilee on the cruiser Brooklyn, says the Washington Star. Although, from many points of view that assignment was most de sirable one, it had one great disadvan- tage in the important matter of per- sonal expense, which caused it to be generally summed. When the Brook lyn was selected for the mission, many of her officers were detached at their own request, and their places supplied by others, more fond of social diver sions, and at the same time able finan- cially to engage in them. The eonse- quence was that tne ship was officered mainly by volunteers willing and able to pay for the social obligations incl dent to the jubilee.
 Itwas conceded that the officers would be put to heavy personal expenses far beyond their salaries in returning so- eial courtesies shown them by the as- sembled representatives of other navies. as we'll as in making some show of reciproeating the lavish hospitalities of their English brethren. The trip meant wining and dining galore, to recipro- cate which in the slightest degree meant expenditures considerably in ex- cess of their regular salaries paid by the government. To meet this condi- tion, only officers having other finan- cial resources were detailed to fill the vacant places on the Brooklyn. Most of them are well off in a worldly sense and several of them are rich In the latter class is included Commander Will liam Emory, who acted as executive officer. He is well known here as man of independent fortune, fond of so- ciety and, as one of his friends put it, "able to hold mp his end in any com pany, conviyial or otherwise.
 Several others of the ships company are similarly circumstanced and con- stituted, and were chosen on that ac- count. In order to tighten their finan- cial burdens as much as possible, how ever, the secretary of the navy allotted Admiral Miller, who was in command of the expedition, the sum of $2 ,00O to- wards meeting the expenses of the en- tertainments the officers would neces- sarily have to give in return for eour- tesies received. This money was used, of course, only for the purely formal functions on the ship, and is popular iy supposed to have been merely drop in the bucket compared with the total nx l. Al
 their individual accounts. In recipro- eating eourtesies extended they had to entertain seions of nobility and other guests of equally expensive gas tronomieal tastes and several of the dinners given are said to have cost the hosts pretty penny
