fosses or silk floss. The edges of these

there is a shirred ruffie at the bottom

is slightly shaped at the hips and hangs
loose from the yoke in gathers in front.
A rich brown silk cord and tassels con-
fine it slightly in front, giving it quite
a Bernhardt form. Across the bust and
back was a band of the finest Persian
embroidery edged ON both sides by bands
of sable fur, the real sable. On the
front and back of the waist lay double
pointed revers, both bound with the
costly fur. The collar was made in the
same way, with the band of embroidery
and the fur.
Quite a novelty is the new "vest

made of velvet of some dark color and

prevail here as in some parts of South
America, where nearly all the males
have been killed off, and the fair ones
are left to languish and to waste their
charms on desert air. The t'Gaditanas'
are very pretty and vivacious, gentle
and sweet tempered. do not claim to
be the first one to make this discovery,
for as far back as the second decade of
this century, to go no farther, their
charms were sung by the poet, no less a
parsonage than Lord Byron. This is
what he says in his poem called the
''Girl of Cadiz:''
Our English maids are long to WOO
And frigid even in possession,
And If their charms be fair to view
Their lips are slow at loves confession.
But, born beneath brighter sun,
For love ordained the Spanish maid is,
And who, when fondly, fairly won,
Enchants you like the girl of CadizP
Who, indeed? We cannot DENY that
the noble lord was an authority on this
subject, but if my memory serves me he
also wrote equally tender lines anent
ladies of other nationalities. The last
one was always the most enchanting
with Byron, and that was the one he
had in mind probably when he wrote
the lines quoted above.
If do not initiate Byron and confess
to being smitten by the charmers, will
at least confess to being in love with
the city. Seen by day or by night,
shimmering in the white sunlight or
bathed in silvery moonlight, Cadiz is a
fascinating city to look upon. With its
romantic history, its noble architecture,
its association with great names-as
Columbus Cortes, De Soto, Las Casas-
it deserves q better fate than now seems

CADIz, Spain, Feb. lat is not far
across the strait from Africa at Tangier
to the Spanish peninsula at Tarifa. Ten
hours on slow going steamer take one
far up the western coast of Spain to its
most beautiful port, the white walled
city of Cadiz. On the way we pass the
promontory of Trafalgar, where Nelson,
in 1905, gave the finishing blow to
Spain's supremacy on the ocean This
great victory was such blow to Napo-
Icons ambitions, ofsetting his victories
by land, that the fact that it was also a
deathblow to Spain's schemes of mari
time conquests is generally overlooked.
But it was, and nothing since the de-
struction of the armada was SO terrible
for the nation.
On the morning before that great
naval battle in which "England's dar-
ling lost his life the combined French
and Spanish feet rendezvoused in this
same harbor of Cadiz. From the mast
head of Nelson's flagship were counted
8 French and 16 Spanish ships of the
line, which soon after, to their sorrow,
sailed out and gave the British battle.
At the present time you will find
more British ships in the harbor of Ca
diz than of all other nations combined,
for England takes Spanish wines and
salt in great quantities and returns her
manufactures all in British bottoms.
AS for our own trade, there are SO few
arrivals here of American ships as to
make it hardly worth the while to men
ton them.

NEW YORK, Feb. 22.-In this world

does not like to wear anything which
might denote work of any kind. Well,

housewifely woman has a dress of rus
set brown serge, made simply, but braid
ed with seal brown soutache in an effect

also down the fronts of the otherwise
plain waist. This waist fits snugly and
has sharp points in back and front. The
collar is plain band and is worn with
a neat linen collar and tie of tan
surah- The sleeves are almost tight fit
ting all the way and have white linen
upturned cuffs. The whole gown is as
neat as it is handsome. A set of aprons
is often purchased ready made to wear
with these useful morning gowns. The
number Of different varieties of these
pretty little additions to a Woman's
wardrobe is legion. Some are of the

stuffs, and others are of silk, satin or

The law went into effect on July l, 1897, and

Bicycle Policeman Fogarty started after the
runaway at lolst street. The persons in the
avenue gave a clear track for the runaway,
but got in the policeman's way so that the
horse got a big lead on the man. At Tooth

who was trying to get out of the way. A block
further south the horse knocked down another
man. Both OF them limped away slightly in

= Chicago Man Said TO Have Invented .
Method OF COmmunIcntion.


CHICAGO, Aug. 2s.-George V. Trott. a former
telegraph operator. says he has solved the prob
lem of communicating by telegraph with a NOV.
ing train anywhere on the line. Two insulated
metallic tracks are laid between and parallel to
the traction rails. They are not connected. and
at intervals. equal in length to the circuit 1t is
desired to establish, are discontinuous and sep
arated by a nor. conducting cushion. A trolley
mechanism consisting Of three pairs OF wheels
connected in multiple by knuckle" joints and
hinged to the footboard OF the engine runs Under
the tender on the inner rails.
The contact OF the metallic wheels with the
metallic rails closes the circuit, as the wheels
are joined by II metallic framework. Insulated
wires conduct the current into the engine cab
and by means OF the bell cord into any part Of
the train where there is an instrument.
The device is an adaptation OF the street rail
way trolley or third rail of the elevated rail
ways. Every train on a road equipped with the
trolley system would at all times be on a loop
circuit extending TO the next telegraph station
ahead. To send messages further or receive
them from other stations the operator al the
proper station would only have to cut in" by
means OF a "'jackspring," on one OF the regular
telegraph wires. Mr.. Trott's device is exclu-
sively mechanical. 1t involves no new or un-
tried principles. and will require no more power
to operate II than the ordinary duplex-cell bat
terry at the regular telegraph station.
