Washington, Oct. lit is the opinion
of Secretary Long that almost $32, 100000
will be necessary to defray the expenses
of the navy and marine corps during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1899. Having
employed the pruning knife atall points
where il was possible to do so, the secre-
tary has drafted letter to the secre-
tary of the treasury, forwarding the es-
Inmates of appropriations required by
the two services. The exact total of the
estimates is $31,991, 727.55. The esti-
mates submitted to congress by former
Secretary of the Navy Herbert for the
present fiscal year amounted to S34,215,
936.19. The apparent smallness of Sec
rotary Longs total is due to the fact
that that official proposes to make a
special estimate in his annual report for
docks and additional ships.

Huge Water Main Bursts.

New York, Oct. IA large Croton
water main burst early Sunday morn
ing at the corner of Madison avenue
and Forty-eighth street, the heart of
the fashionable district, and wrought
such havoc with property, both near
and remote, that not even n partial
calculation can be made of the finan-
cial damage at present. The big water
main was probably cracked by a blast
which was fired in a sewer excavation
late Saturday afternoon. Then in the
night time, when the strain on the pipe
was greatest, it gave way and the flood
followed. The breaking of four-foot
pipe was announced by rumbling
noise which awakened the people in
the immediate vicinity. Looking out of
their windows they saw great geyser
in the middle of the avenue shooting
a vast volume of water into the air,
column so high that it reached almost
to the top of the electric light pole ON
the corner. Those who had no view
OF the fountain heard mighty rush of
water. For five hours this column shot
into the air before it was shut off at its
source, and in that time 100000 gal
Ions of water had run down the avenue
and side streets on either hand. Az the
streets east of Madison avenue slope
gradually, and down them the water
surged in a torrent, flooding the eel
lars and easements.

THE NEW DRESS IHIMMINOo.
Elaborate and striking Effects In jet
and Braid.

The new dress trimmings for the COM
ing season are gorgeous in color and
design. Jet will be used on both skirts
and waists. but on silks and velyets eN-
clusiyeiy, while for handsome cloth
gowns braids, both silk and wool, will
be extensively employed.
The bolero and Elton effects in jet so
popular last season will be replaced by
let blOuses or low-necked effects. The
designs Of these Jet trimmings are more
ella bOrate than any used heretofore and
the beads much larger. One jet blouse,
designed for a coioFed silk or satin, was
made in a clover-lcaf pattern, and the
center Of each leaf was formed by
fiat Jet bead as large as the first joint
OF a mans thumb OF course, even the
tiniest piece used in this trimming was
cut and highly polished. There was
let panel which covered the entire front
gore of the skirt, and two narrow
pieces outlined the back seams of the
two side breadths. These all carried
out the clover-leaf design. Another
similar set, in which even larger pieces
of Jet were used, was of bowknots. This
had a low-necked blouse, held in place
on the shoulders by bowknots with ends
as wide as ones hand. These trimmings
come in all the newest shades and in
almost as many designs as there are
flowers in the fields. For evening wear,
cut steel, pearls and sets jeweled in col
ors will be used, harmouiziug rather
than contrasting with the material and
color of the gown
The braid sets used on cloth gowns are
as elaborate and often quite as expen-
sive as those of jet and jewels. The
blouses. which are either low or high
necked, are of braid woven back and
forth so as to show the goods beneath.
In some patterns the little squares and
diamonds thus formed are filled in and
further ornamented by wheels or other
simple patterns worked in silk to match
the braid. The effect is very like Mexi-
can drawn work. The skirts of these
gowns are to be trimmed with panels
of braid in the same pattern tapering
from the point of the skirt to the waist
line, or with row after row of braid of
the same width. On some of the more
deliberately trimmed cloth gowns then
will be, so the tailors say, more than
200 wards of braid used.-N. Y. Sun.

SWAPPING HORSES.
He Didn't Get Amy boot, But He End
Lots of Fun.

Did you ever hear about the propen-
sity that the mountaineers of West Vir-
GINA and eastern Kentucky have for
swapping, not only horses, but any old
thing from jsckknife TO a wife?" said
a traveller who had just returned from
a trip through those wild and romantic
regions.
Il was stopping at one of the water
ing places up there which is conducted
by man who not only runs the springs,
so to speak, but conducts a mountain
top farm of a thousand acres. In his
employ was a mountaineer who was a
snapper from way back. 1t was all
the colonel could do 10 keep him from
swapping the farm. and the funny part
OF il was the old fellow was a dead
easy mark for every boss trader within
a hundred miles of the place.
THE colonel bought a fine team of
horses. They were frst-class in every
particular, and the mountaineer was
tickled to death. But within week or
two he was dissatisfied. Something
was wrong. first one way and then an
other.
we could git good swap for them
bosses. Jabe Elliott up the criek's got a
team of mewels that I'd like pow'ful ter
have. They's 16 hands high. an sound
in linn an win. More'n that. they's
ulster the mountings and they do better
work on Their side hills. Them bosses
amt so very sure-footed'
"'Git emmy boot"
"'Naw, he kinder talks like he want
ed sum hisself. but reckon he'll trade
even
Go on; I expect he'll beat you.' said
the colonel.
''He left for up the crick and came
back with the 'mewels.' II was a good
team, but the colonel didn't think that
he got the best end of the bargain.
But from that time forward there was
10 end of swapping. First one thing
and then another in the line of live
stock until the old mountain farmer
had 1 the fine team { 'wn to cow,
and not a very good COW at that.
"'Well. you're pretty near through
with your trading, amt you, Alb" said
the colonel one day.
"'Purty nigh throo, colonel he said.
4 guess we couldn't trade that cow off
to do much good. Seems like ! don't
have no luck swappin'. Some fellers
make a good Twin at it
"'You never got any boot in all your
swapping, did you? And here I've only
got a scrub COW to show for all the trad
ing
"'That's about hit, colonel; but, be
tween you and me, colonel, I've had a
pint blank lot er fun while the swappin'
was a-goin' on
"Well. guess you've had enough fun.
After this I'll do the trading and see il
can't get some other boot than fun "

CnItirnte chiIdren,s voices.

As rule, the voices of American chill
dren IN the schools are inexcusably bad,
saws writer in the Outlook. They are
shrill high, nasal, and wholly lacking
in meditation of tone. Unfortunately,
the same things must be said, with, of
course. numerous exceptions, of their
teachers. The American people. as a
people, need to have their attention di-
rected to vocal culture. Our climate,
our temperament. our sensitive nerves,
all tell against the production OF a
good, natural voice We need training
more than any other people; and the
time cannot be far distant in the rapid
advance of culture in this country,
when the training of the voice will be
as much a part OF every child's educa-
ton as learning to read, to spell, or to
cipher. The ability to use the voice in
telligeatly and musically ought not
to be an accomplishment; it ought to be
a necessity; and it will be a necessity
whenever our ears become little more
sensitive. through training, to the
sounds which now assail them.-N. Y.

Chicago, Oct. 12.-The drought is
broken. Rain has come to the rescue
of the country. Beginning Saturday
night the whole upper Mississippi val
ley has received the benedietion of
shower. Never within the recollec-
ton of men or in the period covered by
authoritative record has so long a sea
son of drought prevailed over so wide
an area of country. Crops have suffered,
fruit has been blasted, fires have leaped
up as if from spontaneous combustion
in fields and woodland, and every mo-
ment of the time since the middle OF
August has been crowded with danger
to cities. Farmers have been hauling
water for their stock, even buying the
fuid in many sections of the country.
