among Other luxurious garments are
tightrftting sealskin jackets, with box
fronts, the jackets merely silk lined to
make them less heavy, with additional
warmth impaired by disappointed cape
collars of the same fur falling over the
sealsllin sleeves that fit snugly on the
lower arm and are made without cuffs.
Many of the winter street coats and
capes have added collaretts made of
very delicate textiles in marked con-
trast with the heavy wrap itself. Form
crly these delicate additions would have
been deemed fit only for the most
ornate theater or opera wraps. An in
stance of present modes is a green vel
vet cape worn with a green cloth tailor
costume, with a huge collarette of
plated black chiffon intersperscd with
sable tails and satin ribbon loops. 4
black velvet cape lined with old rose
satin has an immense ruche formed of

shortened in length, it is never elegant

TUNES.
Smart little coat bodices made OF
satin brocade in various dainty color
ings are worn by fashionable Young
women with afternoon gowns of black
or dark-colOred material in silk and
wool, MORE, or figured satin. The
bodice opens over full vest of some
airy fabric shirred or plated over col
cred silk and banded with lace inser-
ton. The short frilly basque is lined
with a matching color of silk, and is
belted at the back and on the sides
where the belt disappears, leaving the
front of the coat bodice free, banding
only the lower edge of the full vest in
front.
Faced cloth remains u great favorite
this winter, and some of the most at
tractive imported tailor gowns are
made OF this material. The prices of
these goods seem disproportionate
taken in connection with the fact that
the material is only wool, not even in
,termlxed or fecked with silk. But it
is wool Of the finest description, most
carefully prepared and beautifully
dyed, looking almost equal to heavy silk,
and for certain uses being more fashion
able than silk. A stylish winter cos
tune of Russian green faced cloth has
ajacket bodice finished with wide revers
joined to a cape-collar made Of white
satin overlaid with delicate arabesuue
embroidery of iridescent beads. The
revers and collar are edged with mink
fur, and gauntlet cuffs match this dec

A Tour to Washington at Exceedingly

Washington is to-day the hand
soonest city i'll America, and undoubt-
edly one of the most beautiful capitals
IN the world. That grand monumen-
tai building, the Capitol, has no coun-
terpart. The new Congressional Lib
rary, with its statues, its bas reliefs,
and its marble halls, is a veritable
palace. The great monument, five
hundred and ifty-fve feet high, is the
lOftiest memorial shaft in the world,
and the National Museum has the
reputation of being the most perfect in
design for the purpose of any in exist
ence. In point of interest it is second
only to the famous British Museum of
London. The three-day tours of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company are
arranged to cover all these points of
interest, and many more. The tour of
the city is made under the personal
escort of an experienced tourist agent,
and every facility is afforded for COM
plete visit.

Edward J. Brewington, one of the
promoters of the Delmarvia Telephone
Company, says: "We expect to begin
the laying of conduits in Wilmington,
within three weeks, and then all will
be plain sailing"
when do you expect to have your
plant in full operation?" he was asked.
"In about three MONTHS" was the
reply.
II had talk with President Barker,
OF the Queen Anne Railroad, the other
day, and he told me that he is very
anxious that we should arrange to run
outside connections along the route of
his line. L think that when we get our
project running all right, we will act
on Mr.. Barker's suggestion and have
our telephone line run in along his
road so as to make complete sweep of
the Peninsula. By running our line
that way we could connect with the
towns of Centreville, Easton, Cam
bridge, Salisbury, Lewes, Georgetown.
Milford, Harrington, Dover, Smyrna.
Middletown, Clayton, and all small
intervening places. This, You see,

Lincoln's Inauguration.
THERE WE'RE GRAVE FEARS OF HIS AS
sAssINATIoN AS HE ROAD TO THE
CAPITAL.

The contrast in the condition of the
country between the time of Lincoln's
first Inauguration and that of Presi-
dent-elect Mckinley is said to be
vividly portrayed in an article by
Stephen Fiske for the March Ladies
Home Journal In telling of "When
Lincoln was First inaugurated" Mr..
Fiske graphically describes Mr.. Lin
coins journey from Springfield, Ill. ;
to Washington, and the incidents of
the Inauguration and the attendant
festivities. There were grave fears
that Lincoln would be assassinated as
be rode in the inaugural procession to
the Capitol, and every possible precau-
ton was taken for his safety. Mr..
Fiske will recall the safeguards
placed around the President. Special
officers and detectives in citizens
clothes were stationed in numbers
among the crowds that lined the side
walks, and sharp-shooters occupied
positions of vantage on housetops, ets.,
along the route of parade The mill
tary escort Of the President-elect was
heavily armed, ready to promptly meet
any hostile demonstrations, and the
crowds were kept a distance from the
Presidents oarriage-so far that they
could not distinguish Mr.. Lincoln
from Mr.. Buchanan, who rode beside
him. The police were instructed to
arrest all persons making opprobrious
threats against Mr.. Lincoln, or utter
ing disloyal sentiments. The tension
was great and the whole country was
in state of suppressed excitement.

Opinions differ about yearly expendi-
ture which is necessary for mission to
England. The late E. M. Stoughten,
who was Minister to England for
a while in Grants Administration used
to say that it cost him at the rate of
$50,0O0 a year to entertain and live in
manner befitting tho American Min
lister. At that time the mission had
not been raised to the dignity of an
Ambassadors post.
James Russell Lowell did not spend
as much as that, yet he found the sal
ary of 81, 800 insufficient.
Robert T. Lincoln has confessed to
his friends that it cost him about
$4,000 a year to maintain his mission
satisfactorily. In other words, he spent
his salary and as much again each year
while in that Office, and the impression
is that Mr.. Bayard has paid as much as
that for the honor.

Inc Shakers have made great hit. Their
digestive Cordial is said to be the most sue
cessful remedy for stomach troubles ever
introduced. 1t immediately relieves all pain

feeble system and makes the weak sfrong
Inc fact Is, foods properly digested are
better than so-called tonics. The Cordial not
only contains food already disgested, but ia

Says the Milford Chronicle: "a law

The Senate Committee will do we'll to
refuse to report to the Senate. His
nomination is an insult to every man
in Delaware who is not ring Demo-
crat. Senator Kenney and Wolcott
seem to have concocted the Kent
county political steal and while Ken
ney was sent to the Senate for his re-
ward here below, Wolcott, it is pro-
posed, to put upon the bench. Their
true deserts for the part they each
played in politics in Kent lately will
come later, in the meantime the SEN

where their positions enable them to
