Seattle, Wash, Sept. 3.-The steamer
Farallon arrived at 1880 o'clock Thurs
day morning from Skaguay, having left
there Aug. 26. The Farallon brings con-
frmation of the reports that the trail
has been almost impossible on account
Of rain and mud. At many places on
the trail the mud is from one to four
feet deep, and men with packs on their
backs mire down and have to be pulled
out. A letter on the Farallon states
that one day last week 100 men sold
their outfits at a sacrifice and started
back. The Farallon started on her re-
turn to Skaguay Thursday night with
about fifty passengers. 1853 horses and
cattle, and about 200 tons of freight.

tents, provisions, discarded baggage

sand people are on the beach at Dyea
as all make efforts to get across the
divide as soon as landed. At Skaguay
things present different appearance;
there are between 5000 and 5000 peo-
pie at that place. Less than fifty men
have succeeded in getting across White
pass and hundreds have given up try
ing to cross until spring. All kinds Of
business is flourishing.

Many men are selling outfits for Ut

SUMMER BEDDING.
A Satisfactory Substitute for the

sham that, with peIversIty unequaled,
will persist in sliding from its appointed
place, will be pleased that now fash
ion has at last dictated a substitute for
these troublesome day coverings of sleep
rumpled pillows.
Get two yards and half Of silkoline to
suit the color OF the room. As it comes in
two widths it may be safest To say, buy
the wide. 1t may be had for 3 or 20
cents a yard Turn each end with a hem
three or four inches deep and The cover is
made. Rest the pillows in a slightly Slop-
ing position against the head hoard, and
throw the cover over them, allowing the
ends te hang loose. Do not draw smoothly
over the pillows, but after giving a little
lap on to the bed, push the rest of the full
ness in irregular folds OYER the pillows
This is why siikoline is preferable To china
silk, it being wider allows more material for
these loose plaits. Other wise the appear
ance is about the same This covering
will not slip out Of place, because the ma

while the simplicity of it's MAKE up and the
lessening labor of laundering will be ap-
pl eciated by every thoughtful housekeepeT
Light tints of silkolne look we'll with
white bedspreads, but as is often the
case, be,.spreads to match the pillow covers
are used. For this article get eight yards
of wide silkoline, sew together two widths
the length of the bed, hemming each end
Let this fall over the sides OF the bed until
itIeaches therail, then hem under tl.eextra
width, on this hem sew gathered flounce
of the material, letting it just escape the
floor about two inches. If the bet,stead
is OF brass or enamel there will be room
between the mattress and the footboard to
let q flounce slip down at the foot Other
beds viii only permit of the sides being
flounced.
Where one prefers pure white in their
bedrooms, this same arrangement can be
carried out in any Of white figured ma
terials in cheap muslin.
The hemstitcied hens on sheets this

siderable art to make it set Just right
Most of them are stitched aroun1 the
edge with two rows OF stitching about
a half-inch apart. II there are pockets
they are made long and shallow, With
stitched edges. Revers are very stu1Il-
IN fact, they are little more than Iapals
Sometimes they are furnished with hig,
white pearl buttons, but usually they
are allowed to stand open, dspIa ying
the plaid shirt waist or tie. The tow
tie is, in general, the style preferred, as
it serves the purpose of covering up tie
collar button. etc, The style that is
next in favor is the ribbon that is wound
twice around the neck and tied in a fonr-
in-hand in font. The inch-wide plaid
ribbon that is sold for 10 cents a ward
makes pretty bow ties.
A stunning little suit that was made I'D
of a number Of nothngs showed great
gunius on the part of the maker There
was a black skirt for founda ton; very
likely it was left over from last year. A
wide girdle, laid in folds of the same ma
terial as the skirt, was perfectly fitted so
as to display the curve OF the waist, and
reached almost to the middle of the back
Cream lace over satin formed the upper
portion OF the bodice, and over it was pc
culiar shaped bolero jacket Of dark red
velvet trimmed with gold braid It looked
like couple Of big, red bay leaves sewcd
together in the back with the points fasten-
Ing in front Or, to make notber conpar-
ison, the lower edge of the jacket was
heart-shaped in the back whereit met and
was hooked down to the wide girdIe. The
jacket had no sleeves, and could be re-
moved SO as to wear with any other dress
1t was edged all around with gold braid
There was no collar, and the cream lace

For more expensive and elaborate bed
ding, the sheets, pillow covers, bed

etc. have deep bands OF embroidery or
Battenburg lace. These, of course, are
expensive when bought at the linen stores,
but when worked at home the cost is
much reduced, and as they are only made
of the heaviest linen, with careful use
they will last for generations. The sets
can be had already stamped with the
materials for embroidery or Battenburg
lace sewed IN parcels and tackled TO each
article. AS the embroidery is usually
in the simplest patterns, it can be easily
accomplished by the average woinan who
has learned only the first two or three
stitches taught in embroider while
Battenburg lace, though exceptionally
beautiful and remarkable for its Gura-
blity, is equally as easily learned, as
quickly accomplished, and does not strain

New York, May 29.-The box jack ct has

Jaunty, and that is what is wanted when
one desires to make an impression at the
first yachting excursion of the season.
The girl who is merely pretty is apt 60 tie
tame in the estimation of the sun. mer m IN,
and the artistic damsel grows tiresome; but
the fetching, stylish young womanis bound
to take well wherever she goes. The mat
ter is therefore in her own hands. 1t is
not always possible to cultivate beauty,
and there is great danger in the attempt TO
affect the artistic, but one can study style,
and, with the help of dressmaker VINO
understands the summer business, one can
make very fair imitation of the girl who
comes naturally by those indescribable
qualities which every successful summer
girl either possesses or affects. There is an
air of responsiveness about such a girl that
makes her an excellent comrade for summer
sport. One goes the way of least resistance
on hot July day, and it is too much trouble
to load oneself down with the companion
ship of girl who is forever saying No,
thank you,''''I don't care and other ex-
pressions that have a suggestion of .lisaD
proval about them which makes a man feel
uncomfortable and wish he h4dn' tproposed
anything. -a
or course it isn't the dress that changes
q girls disposition, but the summer man
has found that in general girls who dress
with go are usually ready to go when
and where they are asked, and do their
share toward making the occasion pleas
ant and agreeable.
A suit witha Jacket of some kind has come
to be a necessity for summer wear. In
fact, it is the recognized summer costume
The great Oh lection to the jacket with coat
tails is its tendency to grow slouchy in
appearance When unbottoned In front,
it will not fit at the back without a most
elaborate arrangement Of hooks or pins,
which are a great inconvenience when one
wants to takeit off. Besides, the coat tails
are sure to get wrinkled and mussed the
first time it is worn, and then the attrac-
tiyeness is all gone, for nothing is so un-
graceful as aserumpledstarchiness Either an
Eton or box jacket does away with this
difficulty, and one has only to decide
which of the two is more becoming, leav-
ing long jackets out OF the question.
The cir! with a good back will ..ho )se
the Eton, because it does not conceal the
lines of her figure. The box jacket looks
more like the adjunct to AN out-of loor
Costume, however, and is more generally
becoming 1t looks especially well when

also makes up prettily in this manner.

Piekler's Prosuscts Bright

The prospects at this time are very
good for the appointment of exRepre-
sentative John A. Picker, of South Da-
khta, to the position Of commissioner of
Pensions, says a late Washington dis
patch. Major Pickler, in addition to
having the earnest support of Senator
Kyle and manv northwestern members,
has added to his supporters that potent
force with the administration, Senator
Mark Hanna. Pickler lost the South
Dakota senatorship but it was through
his work and influence that rank free
trade and free silver man was not
chosen. Senator Kyle's attitude will,
il is stated, be thoroughly independent.
He is under no obligations whatever to
the populist organization of bis state,
which is now domineered by Pet,igrew.
He will undoubtedly vote for the tariff
bill and act with republicans on many
other important questions. He is doing
everything possible for Pickler's ap
pointment. One thing in Pickler's
favor is that strong contest has already
developed between ex. Representative
Thomas, of Michigan, Major Warner, of
Missouri, and Lawler, of Illinois. Each
of these states is asking for several other
important appointments, and il is said
that Pickler's chances are very good and
that his appointment will be something
of a compromise between the other
flctions.
