FRILLS OF FASHION.

What the Ladies Are Wearing In the
 Latest Costumes.
 The difference between last season $ skirts and those of the latest models is more noticeable in the trimmings than in the shapes; yet there is much less fuIlness between the extreme of fashion then and now. Tucks, bands of velvet, braids, ribbon ruches and fiounces decorate the new skirt in va rious ways, but the attempt to bring draped skirts into favor has not yet me t much success.
 Plaid velvets in light bright colors are used for vests, collars, revers anu belts in wool costumes, and again for tine entire bodice with cloth sleeves and bolero.
 All the new figured silks have a moire ground, with distinct patterns in satin, which have a raised brocaded eff feet almost like embroidery. Broche silks, too, are very fashionable for wraps of various kinds, and they are either all silk, or silk with velvet fig ures, or silk and wool mixed, the last being especially recommended for eyen- ing cloaks.
 Silk waists of shot silk, fine velveteen, velvet and corduroy, with the broad turnover linen collar, are as much a feature of morning dress at present as the cotton variety in summer.
 Silk petticoats to match the gown, or in lighter shade of the same color, are the latest fancy, and the usual Span lsh fiounce trimmed with two or more ruilies is set up on the skirt, which is cut quite full underneath and fitted like the dress skirt around the hips. Mar row ruffies are added to this and feather oones are set in across the back to make it stand out.
 Huge buckles of steel, jet or imi- tation jewels are pronounced feature of large h&ts this season, and immense oval buckles appear on some of the Trench gowns directly in the back on q velvet belt.
 Grannie" muffs-as those of the iarge round shape are called-are con sioered the smartest styles by English women; but the pretty made-up muffs with the fiaring ends and finish of tails n The center are much more attractive. Tam O Shanter hats trimmed with .eiVet roses and ostrich tips are among .le stylish and becoming shapes.-N. '. Sun.

was compelled to fight number of duels with men who were concerned in the charges against him. One of these, Baron Von Schraeder, master of cere- monies of the Prussan court, was killed, and Won Kotze confined in a fortress as a punishment. It is now believed that Maj. Von Tausch was the head of q conspiracy formed to in- jure the reputation of influential off cials, and that the anonymous letters ascribed to Von kotze, on whom sus- piclon was fixed by the detective officer, were dictated by the latter. The whole episode reads like piece of fiction
 and would be amusing did it not expose n phase of official rottenness unparal
 leIed in German history. 1t is sup posed that Maj. Tausch was actuated by oyerweening ambition, and hoped to rise by discrediting the government in power, and by the elevation of his friends to the highest offices in the em- pire. Like all other shady characters, the ex-head of the hated political police is a coward, and has already threatened to betray his coconspirators, who, he intimates, are of such exalted standing that the crown will not dare to push its case against him. When the Panama revelations startled France few years ago it was thought that the depth of official viliainy had been reached, but the recent Berlin revelations, it must be admitted, are far more degrading in their effect on public morals, and dem onstrate that German official life is by no means as pure and honorable as the German press would have us believe.
 From St. Petersburg, the cradle of court cabais. comes the news that powerful faction has been organized to discredit Nicolai Paulovitch Shishkin, recently apointed minister for foreign affairs in succession to the late Prince Lobanoff.

She could also sing "Kathleen Mavourneen" and pIav her own accompaniment, but it was her work with the brush that most an pealed to him. The idea of sinking to rest on hand-painted upholstery was beyond the widest dreams of luxury which his early youth had known and nothing could be more serenely hope ful than the impressions with which they started in to keep house.

German newspapers are in the habit of making much of official scandals oc- curing in France and other countries, but just now they should be sweeping before their own front door. No court sensation of recent years equals in downright degradation that which has just been brought to light in Berlin in the course of the trial against Baron von Luetzow and five other journalists who were charged with accusing the government of printing bogus version of the speech delivered by the czar dur ing his visit to Germany. The prosecu- ton succeeded m securing an adms- sion from the defendants to the effect that they had received their informa- ton through Maj. von Tausch, coinms- sioner of detectives of the imperial po- iitical police. The libelous publication accused Prince Hohenlohe, the imperi- al chancellor, but more especially Baron Marschall von Bieberstein, German minister of foreign affairs, of wilfully cnd maliciously editing" the czar's re- marks before delivering the copies of the speech to the press. The charge compromised Baron von Biberstein to such an extent that his withdrawal from public life was demanded by the newspapers of the empire, but the trial in open court, which was vigorously pushed through the eXertions of his friends, has vindicated his honor and assured him prominent place among Cermany's statesmen. It has also cleared the reputation of Chancellor Hohenlohe, although no one ever seri- ously believed that he would have given his official consent to a revision of an official speech, no matter how uncom- plimentary it might have been to his emperor or his country.
 The fall of Maj. Tausch, who is un- der arrest charged with perjury, forgery, lese majeste and calumnation of ministers, has reopened the notori- ous Von Kotze scandal which, a few years ago, shook all Europe from cen ter to circumference. Won Kotze who was royal court chamberlain, was ar rested in June, 1894, accused of having disseminated anonymous letters mak- ing indecent personal accusations against members of the Hohenzollern family and the highest German aris- tocracy, was acquitted by military tribunal.

The vice president or the president pro tempore of the senate makes the introdlctions of the senators, and the speaker intro duces the members of the house. But there are always stragglers, and the members of the house pop up slngly and in pairs at intervals all through the remainder of the reception time.

 The secretary of war and the secre- tary of the navy remain by the side of the president during this part of the re- cepton. Secretary Lamont introduces the general commanding the army and his subordinates as they file by in the order of their rank. Secretary Herbert introduces the senior admiral of the navy and his subordinates. Then the officials of the executive departments come forward in their turn. Finally, about one o'clock, the doors are thrown open, and the general public is given ad- mission in double file for an hour. Promptly at two o'clock the doors are closed. Then, although thousands out side are impatenty demanding admit tance, the tired president and his tired wife, after having for three hours stood in one place lowing and shaking hands. retire to their living apartments for re- freshment and rest.
