at the shoulders, then wrinkled te the wrists. Pearls were worn at the throat and narrow mauve ribbon at the belt and in the hair.
 The costume of the sister was strik- ing, but little more conventional. She wore a bronze brown silk, with high eorselet of bronze velvet. Bevers of velvet made great triangles upon the front of the blouse, meeting at the top of the corselet. There was a high lace collar, with jabot of lace in front, and rufiies of lace were let into the puffs of the sleeves.
 X big man with blond beard, whose nationality 1 cannot guess, sat next a little Fnenehwoman, who chattered to him volubly. He looked grayely polite, but puzzled, when she told him she had been biting off little pieces of her heart all around because 1t jumped into her mouth at $ t.e ef sia had in the after noon. The heroine of this gastronomic feat was very pretty in blouse of old rose velvet, with high collar fastened with old rose ribbons. The sleeves had pu1fs of old rose cloth at the shoulders, but were of velvet below and tight to the arms. The waist finish was a eorse- let of cloth opening In q in front down to the waist line. this corselet be- ing one with the skirt, CT else one might say that the dress was cut with blouse and polonaise, the polonaise top being so low cut as to make nothing more than a eorselet, opening down to the waist in V. The corselet was edged with a thread of fur. Knots of ribbon caught it 10 the blouse, their streamers falling nearly to the ground The skirt had ruffie of velvet at the hem, with a narrow band of fur above.
 There was q man with system to break bank at Monte Carlo, which he expounded with such single minded ness that the waiter carried away his soup before he had lifted spoon With him was his wife, woman not of pleasing eountenanee, but gloriously arrayed in a waist of yellow silk, with a blouse front finished at the waist with innumerable rows of tiny outings, forming a eorselet, below which the silk hared again like the full skirt of basque or waist ruffle. More rows of putting gave the semblanee of a bo.

4 GREAT STRUCTURE.
1t Spans the Harlem River at New
 York City.
Completion of the New York Gen. traIs FOur-Tracls Draw-Bridge and an Immense Steel
 Vtaduct.

One of the most remarkable feats of engineering on record is just com pleted, and the passenger entering New York from the north now rides over one of the grandest examples of steel railway construction yet accom- plished in this age of marvellous results in that direction.
 Going south, at One Hundred and Forty-ninth street, the tracks of the New York Central begin to rise gradu- ally, and at One Hundred and Thirty Fifth street they cross the Harlem river on the new four-track steel draw bridge, at an elevation of 24 feet above high tide.
 This massive structure is remarkable in being the first four-track draw bridge ever constructed, and is the largest bridge of the kind in the world It is 400 feet long and weighs 2,50o tons. The draw-bridge is 58 feet 6 inches wide, from center to center of outside trusses, and is carried on three very heavy trusses. Between the central and each of the two side trusses is clear space of 26 feet, which permits the passage of

lero about the armholes. The sleeves made little balloons on the shoulders, were gathered in to fit the arms by bands of pufing, were then laid in plaits to the wrists and there allowed to flare over the hands. The prettiest feature of this waist was it's neck ar- rangement A folded band of black velvet ribbon was drawn about the throat and crossed in front, forming cravat, whose ends fell down upon the skirt draperies. With this bodice a black broeade skirt was worn.
 There was bride, too, who looked a little frightened as the line of walters bore down upon her with their great silver platters and sauce boats. 1t is an art to learn to help oneself nicely, and especially to replace properly the fork and spoon. The little bride felt it an ordeal. She was English, | believe, though I didn't hear her speak, and quite simply dressed in water green silk, with a blouse cut out on either side in front in & Greek fret pattern, bordered with rows of narrow black velvet ribbon. The blouse opened on ehemisette of white mousseline de soie and was gathered under gathered belt of velvet. The fret patterns in ribbon were carried under the belt and down upon the skirt, giving pretty effect to the figure. The neck finish was black velvet collar, with a rosette on the left side, from which fell lace jabot.
 There are many ways to eatan orange. The American girl halves hers cross wise and proceeds with & spoon. The English woman or Frenchwoman takes the peel off in quarters and breaks the fruit into sections. The Italian pares it like an apple. The American way Is least familiar at table d'hote, and repre- sentatives of the land of the free usually give up the effort after two or three attempts to educate the walters to bring them small spoons. The one American girl at table tonight looked eomically dismayed at the dessert spoon blandly proffered in answer to her inquiries. She's not at all bad sample of an American. Sine wore to- night a dress of fawn-colored cloth, with high eorselet of the same ma terial coming up in point both in front and behind and embroidered daintily in old rose. A fiat collar lay over the shoulders. with garniture of the same embroidery. There was high stand ing collar of old rose velvet. and there were double epaulets to head the sleeves.
 Men wear evening dress at table d'hote usually. though this is far from being obligatory. From soup to coffee takes an hour and half. and unless skip some of the costumes this tale will be equally long winded.

ernment vessels. the hours named GOV ering the great business traffic in an6 out of the city, the important through trains as we'll as the principal suburban trains arriving and departing during those hours. This will avoid delays which have been, at times, very annoy. ing, and permit of much faster service than could have been maintained under the old arrangements; and, as speed is one of the principal factors in travel iI this age, this feature will prove an i'm. portant one.
 Quite a number of the great improve. ments which have recently been made in the northern part of the city can bt seen from the trains as they pass over the new viaduct. Among them ar' Grants tomb, St. Lulle's hospital and the buildings of Barnard college and Columbia college, on Morningside Heights, and very soon the grand struc ture of the Cathedral of St. John the Di vine will be observed. Further north and on the west side of the Harlem river, the now famous speedway is un der construction and approaching completion; the magnificent High bridge Washington bridge, McComb's dam bridge and the viaduct leading te it from the north are works of art, as we'll as of great utility, under which the trains pass, and on the right may be seen the buildings of the University oi the City of New York, Webb's Sailors of f,4h h11i16 ings of less importance. North of the Harlem river, on the Harlem division, is Bronx park, which is to contain the

two sets of double tracks. The floor is corrugated, and the rails are bolted to it on steel tie plates. The trusses of the draw-bridge span are 64 feet high in the center and 25 feet high at each end. At the highest part of these trusses is situated the engine house, which con- tains two oscillating double-cyIinder engines, which turn the draw and can be worked together or separately, so that if one should break down at any time. the other can do the work
 From One Hundred and Thirty eighth street south the four new tracks run over the steel yiaduct to One Hun dred and Tenth street, and thence by the stone viaduct to One Hundred and Sixth street, where they strike the level of the present four-traek line.
 The work of building this massive structure, which is here illustrated, began September 1, 1893, and has con tinued without cessation until now, and will cost when completed considerably

 San Reno, Italy.-The anemones are already in blossom. This means that San Reno is the sunniest spot in the whole Riviera, which means that San Remo is fu1l to oveffiowine, which mems that table d'hote is at the pres ent writing more than usually cere= monious function, which again means that the prettiest blouse bodices ever made are to be stadied at seven o'clock every evening.
 Some day 1 shall write q poem in honor of table d'hote, it's flowers, it's music and it's pretty girls, Whatever you have been about by daylight, whether sailing or driving or climbing the steep streets to the heights crowned with expresses or lettering under the palms and pepper trees, you must be back in season to give fuli half hour to dressing for dinner" The evening table d'hote is the great event of the 24 hours. The long table that seemed n little cold and perfunetery i'll it's state liness at .eafe. and "dejeuner" wakes up to new life with tho shine of it's tall silver pieces under the chandeliers and the color and the scent of it's burden of fresh flowers. The walters, who moved in the morning as if they had eternity before them, have put on new zeal with their white gloves and bow, as if it were. necessary that their heads should knock the floor. The pyramids of oranges half buried im laurel leaves and the Swiss houses of confectionery, with flags of all nations flying from their windows. testify 10 the festive character of the occasion. All these solemnities considered, would not the first dainty maiden who shakes her roll out of her napkin in T toilet to which she has given no attention deserve to be sent away without a meal? No

more than $3,000,000. The completion of the new work will permit the open ing of all cross streets under the rail- way and so permit perfectly free passage for street traffic.
 One Hundred and Thirty-eighth street, which has become great thor oughfare, will be entirely free, as the trains which heretofore crossed it at grade will pass over it at an elevation that will allow street cars and all traf- fic perfect freedom. At One Hundred and Twenty-ffth street the tracks will cross the street 14 feet above the level of the street, and at this point mag nificent passenger station is to be built, extending from One Hundred and Twenty-fifth to One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street, under the four track viaduct.
 This improvement will be of immense value to the entire state-in fact. to the whole eountry-as the bridge, being so high above the water, will never have to be opened except when large steamers or vessels with masts are to pass through; all tugs, canal boats, barges, etc, will have ample room to go under the bridge while it is closed.
 The Harlem river, having been de- clared by congress ship canal, the sec retary of war has issued orders that all tugs and barges shall joint their smoke stacks and fag-poles. to enable them to pass under the bridge while it is closed. He has also ordered that the bridge shall not be opened between the hours of seven and ten o'clock in the morning. and four and seven in the afternoon, except for police. fire or gov

woman, at any rate, risks such pen atty. As table d'hote is the summit and crown of fashionable life, so table dhote toilets are here among the most important in woman's S wardrobe.
 In all of which is the blouse gloritied. Just why the blouse is seven o'clock toilet par excellence 1 dc not know Perhaps it is reason enough that it gives a chance for unlimited prettiness and unlimited variety. However this may be, am fresh from what was a verita~ Ible exhibition of blouse fashions. Just opposite me and half hidden behind a tall stand of roses there sat young Russian. l believe she has some title, but since the day when l sat in shop, with my back turned upon the king of Servia for lack of knowing that he was anything moro than an insignificant looking boy of IS, I have given up any attempt to keep track of degrees of ele- walton. The young Russian wore 6 very charming dress of silvery gray silk made in rather original fashion. The blouse of gray meusseline de soie was cut out little in the throat. leay- ing square opening, It was gathered in loose folds under a belt made of two circlets of violet velvet ribbon, each circlet fastening in front with big rosette bow. Over the blouse was worn q little bolere of silver gray cloth en- tire1y covered with arahesque embroid- cry in itory white cord. The bolero fastened across the top of the blouse, forming itself the boundary of the square neck opening. The skirt had a very narrow panel of ivory white cloth in front, fanked by rows of ivory but tons.
 At the head of the table sat bluff and rather loud-voiced Briton, who found pleasure in sending his private store of horseradish around for every body to try. ITO eat with meat" he repeated over and over again in Eng fish, without greatly enlightening the people who do not speak that language. On either side of the Englishman sat his two daughters. tall. fair girls of brilliant complexion. The younger and more slender wore gray cloth skirt with blouse in glace silk of pale maure figured sparsely with pink. l do not think I should be far wrong if called this blouse the prettiest as well as the simplest have yet seen. It was cut out in point at the throat, not low enough to give any hint of deeolletage, but to avoid the almost universal high collar. As a substitute finish the mar row plastron of silk which formed the decoration of the front of the blouse was cut out in Y also and carried around the neck. it's points meeting be hind. \ fnll ruflle of narrow lace made q dainty edge to the plastron, Cas- cades of wider lace fell from the shosll- ders Sonaewhat in the manner of a be ,1tro.

has been torn down so far as it re-
lates to the Creek Nation. A
prominent cattleman, says there
will be at least two hundred thous.

grass this summer. This is q
clear indication of the many thous-
and acres of fine tillable land in
the Creek Nation enclosed by large
pastures and rented to cattlemen.
The cattle, or most of them, are
shipped from the state Of Texas,
aud after being fattened on he
fine grazing lands of this nation

While TUE CHIEFTAIN vigorous
ly attacked the Progress townsite
plan at the time, il seems to be
gradually coming to the same con-
olusion on its main points. 1t
now seems to recognize the fact
that such deeds as were given to
lot holders by Cherokee nation,
we're given in good faith and that
Cherokee citizens accepted them
in good faith and have an equity
in town lots that should be reoog-
nized in any change of title
Clarmore Progress.
The Progress has either a very
defective memory or purposely
misquotes THE CHrEFTAIN. This
paper has not changed its opinion
relative to the town lot question
a particle, but on the other hand
has always maintained that the
title was still in the Cherokee ma
tion and had not passed to the in
dividual, and it still so holds.
The right of occupation was all
the national council ever attempt
ed to sell, as every deed to a town
lot will explain on its face. We
have always held, also, that the
legal occupant had an equity that
ought to be observed in the final
disposition Of the matter. Those
who attempt to defend the present
occupant title and call it perfect,
certainly do so without any au-
thority Of law. The very fact that
an unimproved town lot reverts to
the nation and may be again sold
by the town commissioner is proof
that the nation never thought OF
relinquishing title. The thing
every holder of a town lot wants
now is a title, and that is what
they are asking at the hands Of
the commission.
