Mrs. McKinley's Gown Will BE Rather
Plain and Not Decollete.
Details Of the Inauguration gown OF
Mrs. Mckinley have been finally decid-
ed. The material for the gown has been
selected. 1t is brocade of silver and
white, the combination producing sort
of gray color. 1t will be lined with pale
blue satin.
The gown is to be made rather plain.
The corsage will have fluffy fichu Of
point d d'alencon. Though the neck will
be made high with soft laces, yet il
will have the decollete effect. The
sleeves will be long and finished with q
full frill of lace.
The skirt, with its stately train, 10 X
have several panels Of handsome bro
cade. The idea is to have the gown no,
elaborate and at the same time rich IN
effect.
This is one Of eight gowns which
Mrs. Mckinley had fitted during her
stay in Chicago.

HOITY.TOITY.

Really stranger would think to read
the hysterical anglomaniac portion OF
the press that England had decided to
declare war on us, and that only great
haste on the part of the Senate in
Washington will save us from being
devoured by the British lion. The
mugwump and the anglomanic franti-
cally ask rs il we prefer war to peace
when we ask what In thunder all this
fuss is about, and what the devil We
have to arbitrate.
What is there to arbitrate do We
want anything? Are we liable to want
anything that is not ours by right ?
And il ours by right. with whom and
Why should we arbitrate? The fact is
that some of our editors, like some Of
our preachers, have caught hold of .
fad and they are working it to death.
They want it understood that we are
an "Anglo-Saxon" race. whatever that
is, and that we owe allegiance TO Eng
land yet, although we are composite
race from the very beginning OF our
history, and although We have whipped
England twice for interfering with US,
and stand ready to do 30 again, should
our interests and her behavior require
it. \, sss.t ".tu f
The "Anglo-Saxon" race which some
watery- Drained people speak of, is one
of those myths which some people, who
like to string nicely sounding words to-
gether, have evolved from their weak
imaginations. The Anglo of ancient
Britain and the Saxon OF . slightly
more recent age were whipped and
cuffed out of existence by the hordes
of Ncrsemen, Romans, Normans, Celts
and Gauls who so to make up the
modern Englishman. The people Of
this country are o composite race OF all
bloods and nationalities, and the only
thing common with us and England is
our language. The Englishman who
comes here today becomes the Ameri-
can OF the next generaNoD. 1t 1s the
same with all other nationalities, and
only dresmsrs on the one hand and
cunning diplomats on the other who
seek to make us cousins"
We have lost every time that We have
arbitrated, anything with England.
Even the Alabama claims award de-
prived us of $5,0OO,OO0 damages to Ca
madam fisheries. That commission
should have awarded us hundreds of
millions for our loss of commerce on
the seas caused by the aid that England
gave to privateering during the late
war. Still we do not say that we should
oppose arbitration when we have any
question to arbitrate. But to attempt
to define in general treaty what is TO
be arbitrated is rainbow chasing of the
widest kind.

The champion mare Alix will be
seen ON the trotting track again this
year, but probably not before the begin
ming Of August. Her owner, Morris j..
Jones Of Red Oak, Ia, will condition
her himself and very much fancies her
chance to lower the record. The famous
driver Curry has become resident Of
Red Oak and thinks the mare is as good

will drive her, but Jones will manage

In apartments on the first door Of the

They are Ludwig Astor, his son, Carl
Frederick Astor, and his grandson,

from furs, were poor. They were cousins.
and his grandfather, when q boy, he
says, cared for the father of John Jacob
Astor for some time before the latter

TOUR ABOUT TOWN

The first month of the new year has
passed into history and wonder how
many OF those good resolutions made
on Jan. 1 by the people of the city have
been kept. / believe that some OF these
resolutions are still in tact, but il is safe
to say that great majority Of them
have suffered severe fractures. I find
that the great trouble in making good
resolu tions" is that we are apt to make
them too strong. Resolutions that
stand an even chance of remaining un-
broken are the ones to make. When
you get 80 far that you can stand on
such with both feet you can then make
some more.

Shouting
From the
HOusefOps

. Is something to refrain from do
.. ing unless you have good reason
] therefor. 1t is with pardonable
satisfaction that we refer at this
time to the wonderful jump into
popular favor that THE EVENING
TRIBUNE has taken In the past
nine weeks under the present man
agement. 1t would be q thankless
policy indeed il we did not mani.
fest our appreciation of this fact
and at the same time refer to the re-
suits that have attended our efforts
to place before the reading public
of Pawtucket and It's environs
paper In which the events of in
terest to them Is mirrored in a
bright, entertaining, reliable and
readable form-not buried in mean
ingless words. ~
IL might be of interest to state
that the daily average sale OF THE
EVENING TRIBUNE Is $50 more to-
day than 1t was nine weeks ago to-
day, when the paper was issued for
the first time under the present
management. The circulation
books are open to anyone who
doubts the veracity OF the above
statement.
Its rapid strides in circulation is
quite unprecedented in the news
paper history of Pawtucket. Hav-
ing all the elements of value THE
EVENING TRIBUNE is gaining
ground IN all directions every day.
When you get ready to say some
thing about your business, keep in
mind the fact that the TRIBUNE
reaches the people advertisers wish
TO reach.
