makers that the terrible question be-
tween Greek and Moslem, SO agitating
the island of Crete, has made perfectly
firm and bright, for this summer at
least, the destiny Of the bolero jacket.
1t is now alternately called the Cam
dia, the Crete, or the Moslem coat, and
it is with or without sleeves, making
anything like a simply close-fitted dress
waist an impossibility of the present.
1t is no longer cut Spanish, but Greek
or Turkish fashion, and decorated all
ever with Greek and Turkish chain
stitch embroidery in gold and bright
mingled silks.
The technical name for ones tailleSs
braided street coat is mess jacket, and
the best of these are copied, in their
colors and braidings, exactly from the
jackets worn at mess by the men of
various famous English regiments; the
Coldstream Guards and Scott Grays be-
ing among the most popular. A deal
Of emphasis is laid this summer on the
color of silk your Cretian mess, or plain
cloth coat, is lined with. Tailors are
laVlShlng great care on eSthetic con-
traSts between interior and exterior.
For instance, a navy blue coat ought
to be lined with lettuce green, Lincoln
green coat with sky blue, black coat
with geranium rose, a brown coat with
lilac gray and a gray coat with dande-
lion yellow. Green and sky blue is,
however, one of the standard ombina-
tons for April. To see how it is done
observe the green basket cloth gown.
It's braiding is black and the sacque
bolero is worn over an under vest of
baby blue satin, pouched a good deal
over black satin girdle and all sweet
ly 'broidered o'er'' in a pretty blue
poisoning vine.
Attention may be rightly called to the
cuffs that flare greatly and seem to in
dictate, as all the new gowns do, that
before we know it we will be wearing
undersleeves, as did women thirty five
or forty years ago. One other pretty
feature of this suit is the small black
satin string tie, knotted under the chin
and under the collar, of ruffied blue
satin ribbon
1t is hard to say whether. when put to
popular vote, tucks or ruffies are the
most conspicuous trimmings of the
lightweight gowns, the grenadines, the
voiles, which are really no more than
coarse nuns veilings, and the muslins
treatment in tucks is given in the
Inquired grenadine, which is white.

THE MOKELTMNE.

Deep, and blue and laughing flows Moke-
lumne,
Winding cold and clear around the hills
And the ripples sparkling in the sunlight,
Joined by the bubbling mountain rills
Rolling on across the smooth worn. rocky
pathway,
Thro' the hills of Calaveras, great and
green,
Where the breezes play upon a woody
mountain
Where the iron bridge lies DER the river,
There the winds blow cool from hidden
flowers;
Deep and far below thee flows the blue
green waters
Breathing of the cool, green summer
bowers.

Special Correspondence. by Steamer
George w Elder.
SKAGUAY BAY. Alaska. Aug. s.-This
beautiful Sunday morning was ushered In
by the very sad and accidental drowning
Of Dwight Fowler. OF Seattle. who. while
crossing the river with pack Of about
seventy five pounds on his back. fastened
with pack strap. accidentally Slipped
from the log on which he was crossing and
was carried OF his feet The heavy pack
which he carried on his shoulders carried
his head under the water, and In this
way he was stunned and bruised about the
face and shoulders
The news spread fast through the camps
and we rushed toward the river. whica is
q mile away, bat we met a team coming
with the body In the wagon, ard crowd
Of miners with their heads barred follow
ing along ar the side and rear OF the
wagon. In the wagon. a; the side of the
hooy. sat Wesley Young, n c. Richards
and others.
The body was carried to the tent OF one
Of the miners where 1t was laid oIc. and
a physician. DR.. Ferguson. took charge
of IL.
Just az the body was taken from the
wagon at the tent. and all were excited,
the teamsler called out. Who pays the
bfii7"
Same one asked how much It was. .Ten
IL.
were very indignant and said that the
charge was outrageous. especially as the
teamster was on his way 10 camp with
an empty wagon.
Mr. Young at once paid the bill and
asked that nothing further be said about
It. but the miners did not see II that way.
Within two hours an indignation meet
ing was held by the miners. ID. ]. McKin-
ney being chosen as chairman. and ".
Saportas as secretary. The chairman
. did not need TO call for remarks. for ey-
eryone had something to say. They
finally decided to appoint a committee 10
notify this teamster. Cleveland and his
partner Young. that they had just sixteen
hours In which to dispose of their Of
fects and leave camp. About twenty men
immediately volunteered to act on this
committee. and al once notified these men
to go. and they went.
A somewhat similar drowning Is re-
ported today from Dyea in very much
the same way. Tom Wall. Of Nanaimo,
Il. c.. while trying to cross the river at
that place where 1t Is very swift He was
leading his horse, and when part way
across the horse became unmanageable
and Jerked away throwing him off his
feet. The swift water carried him down
the stream for nearly a mile before he
could be gotten out. he had kept pref
~ well in the deep water, and was not
cut or bruised much and showed some
symptoms OF life still. but with all that
could be done ne died in few minutes
after being taken out The miners made
up purse OF $3.50 and with the $500 he
had sent ii TO HIS wife and family. The
body was buried there.
The miners have built q bridge today
across the river and everything is i,ow
safe. WILL W. EWING

FAwCETr MAKES A NEW DEAL
Dfckering on Power Contract, Which
Anglers the Council Majority.

Special Dispatch to the Post-lnteliigencer
TACOMA, Aug. ls-A new phase was
developed in the proposed city power
contract today that has in ali probabil-
ity widened the gulf between the mayor
and the council on this subject. The
mayor announced late today that he had
practically agreed with the bidder to get
the power at the rate Of Ia cents per
kilowat hour. This was brought about
by a concession on the city,s part OF half
rate for water to be used by the bidder.
In view of his ultimatum to the coun-
Gil in which the bidder declared the rate
offered, 162 per kllowat hour, to be the
lowest he would accept, the council ma
jority Is anything but pleased at this
rev turn OF affairs. II is shown by them
that the new rate. with the new water
condition attached. will ecst the city more
than the l62 rate, under the conditions
surrounding this bid. which included a
fun rate TO be paid TO the city for water
