NEW YORK, May 31.-A rainy forenoon
interfered greatly with the observance OF
Memorial day in New York and vicinity.
There were, however, committees Of veter-
ans of the Union army at all the ceme-
teries in and about New York to decorate
the graves of those of their comrades who
had found burial there. The tomb of Gen
eral Grant in Riverside Park, was well re-
membered for there, besides the tributes
from local posts of the Grand Army of the
Republic there was received a box on the
outside of which was the inscription:

BEWILDERlNG TRIPLES.

Colored wood sticks to match the Gov
ering of parasols, are one of the sea-
sons features. The green, especially
are in great demand.
A novelty recently seen in London
was white linen dress, strapped with
brown holland, the revers of the coat
being faced with the same.
Pale blue ostrich feathers are the
latest fads in millinery and are found
on many of the French hats, rising soft

Jeweled parasol handles are too COM
mon to be novel, but the latest idea in
Paris is to tip each little spike at the
end of each rib with a mock gem.
A new sailor hat hailing from Paris
has full crown and straight brim,

most entirely with an applique of lace.
In Paris the hair is brought up quite
to the top of the head, where it is
formed into a knot; but it stands out

the back.
The mess jacket, which is sharing
equal honors with the Elton in England,
is much like the Eton, except that it
opens square at the front and may, if
desired, loe buttoned up to the chin.
Of course, it is cut off at the waist.
Many of these mess jackets in scarlet,
trimmed with gold, are worn with white
gowns.

Deafness Cannot by Cured

by local appiicstio as they capnot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infaned condition of this
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbliug sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
nofalai condition, hearing will b, destroy

RIVER STEAMBOATS,.

Western American Specimens Well
Adapted for Their Purposes.
While the western American river
steamer may be improved in some minor
points, it is, in general design and con-
struction, admirably fitted for the pc
culiar work that it has to do. Consid-
cred from strictly engineering stand
point, it is a creditable structure. Fur
thermore, it is a striking example of
the survival of the fttest.
In comparing the advances which
have been made in the ocean and Amer
lean lake marine with those on the
western rivers, the latter have gener-
ally been made to appear in an unfavor-
able light. The fact, however, has been
overlooked in most cases that the condi-
tons of service are radically different
and these difficulties Eecesita tes-in

in the character of the steamers. The
boilers and engines of the magnificent
ocean liners would be as much out of

on the western river steamboat as would

seatially similar to thgt employed on
the American lakes has been tried many
times on western rivers. Large sums
of money have been spent on expert

a failure. Even the vertical engine has
been abandoned. Barring unimportant
details, lbs machinery Of the western

1t is not uncommon for the boats to

MISS NELLIE ELY.
(Appointed Colonel on the Staff Of Ten
nessee's Governor.)

Ruth Whiteside, of Shelbyville. Tenn,
who was noted in her day for being
one of the south's mostIbeau tiful and
cultured women.
An aunt of Col. Ely was the famous
southern beauty, Miss Maggie White
side, now Mrs. Judge Bearden, whose
fame as a bell was coeXtensive with
the south in antebellum days. Another
nunt of this gifted and accomplished
officer was Mrs. James Mather, who
is we'll remembered in New York So
ciety.
Col. Ely has been the leading spirit
in the chief military functions of this
state since her debut. She received the
best educational advantages and sup
plemented them by close application to
the finer arts.
She has been a social favorite wher-
ever her presence has been felt. At
Richmond, Va; at Dallas, Tex; at
St. Louis and other points all who have
come within the radius of her intiuenc
have succumbed to her wonderfully fas-
cinating personality.
Gov. Taylor has known her since
childhood. Warm friendship has eX-
listed between the governor and the
colonels father, MIR. Jesse Ely, for
years. Her appointment is perhaps due
in some measure to this friendship,
but chiefly to the social triumph she
achieved on the occasion of the late
reunion ball. when. as vice president
of the club, she devoted all her eneP-
gies 10 it's success. She wore neither
jewelry nor flowers upon this occasion,
but appeared in IA plain gown of red
satin. Her beauty, however, with her
native refinement and modesty of de-
meanor. made her conspicuous when
least she sought to be. Ii was on.this
occasion that Gov. Taylor announced
his intention of commissioning her
colonel.
She is a brunette of medium stature.
In her every movement there is grace.
and in every glance of her large, bril-
liant eyes there is that peculiar charm
so noted in the southern type.-N. Y,
Herald.

--.-,
MISS NELLIE ELY. y
Appointed 81 Colonel on the Stan of
Tennessee's Governor.

Tennessee's Governor.
Woman's sphere has extended to
every field of human effort except the
field of battle. No states can lay claim
TO better right to extend this preroga-
nessee. Nearly every foot of soil in
these two commonwealths has known
the fury of shell and fire.
In the absence of any constitutional
prohibition in their respective states,
Gov. Atkinson. of Georgia. and Gov.
Robert l.. Taylor, of Tennessee, have
seen fit to appoint ladies on their sta ifs,
with the commissions of colonel.
Those martial qualities and those SOL
dierly instincts which Joan dare de-
veloped on the field are not looked
for nor expected from these young
women. They are not asked to buckle
on armor and go forth seeking whom
they may devour. Their commissions
were graceful recognition of the fact
that Peace hath her victories no less
renowned than war;"
The fair colonel from Tennessee is a
typical representative of an illustrious
lineage. Col. Nellie Ely springs from
a family that has contributed to the
history of two states.
Her antecedent, Gov. Isaac Shelby,
enjoyed the unique distinction of hav-
ing been the first governor of Ken
lucky and the subsequent governor of
the later sister commonwealth of Ten
nessee. She comes of a race of beauti-
full women. Her mother was Miss

WITH THE STAGE FOLKS.

An official report shows that there
are issued yearly in the theaters of
Paris 2,S00,000 deadhead tickets.
Ethel Barrymore is visiting Mrs.
John Drew at Larchmont, but will soon

In imitation of Duse, many actresses
are totally abandoning makeup on the
stage. She never uses it.
Walter Damrosch will conduct spe-
cial season of opera in Philadelphia
during the winter. Melba will be the
star of the organization.
Wilson Barrett and his company have
accepted good offer to tour Australia
next January. This means that he will
not come 70 America.
Cissy Fitzgerald is over from Europe
with a wardrobe of brand new gowns
which she intends to display to her
audiences in America this winter.
A movement has been started where
by all the actors and managers in this

Ready-made ruflling of mousselines
and Persian organdies for skirts are
feature of the lace counters.
Double warp cashmere closely resem-
bling drap d'ete in delicate tints and
beauty of finish is one of the loveliest OF

A very dark blue gown seen at this

If it is thin one the stock and girdle
are of this shade of taffeta ribbon; if of
silk or wool. than taffeta silk is used.
Strips of white embroidery set hor-

curved pieces of the same on bolero
jacket pieces give lovely effect to
lavender and pale green lawns, dimities
and chambreys.

ABOUT THE HOUSE.

The candelabrum is to the fore as a
dinner decoration. The lights, soft
ened by colored shades, enhance the
beauty of the shining silver and glitter
ing glass.
For tired feet put handful of COM
mon salt into four quarts of hot wa
ter. Place the feet into the water while
it is hot as it can be borne. Then rub
the feet dry with a rough towel.
An old housekeepr says the cleanest
and best dishwasher is a round whisll
broom made of the finest and best
broomcorn. 1t is cleaned readily by
holding under the spigot and running
hot water through it; after which hang
it in the air to be dried. This does away
with the annoyance of discolored and
often musty dishcloth.
One of the best disinfectants in the
sickroom is basin of fresh water. Wa
ter is a great absorbent of noXious
gases. Water that has stood open in
the bedroom soon gathers impurities
and is unfit to drink. a wide-mouthed
vessel of pure water will often do more
to bring refreshing sleep to a ner-
vous patient than will an opiate. This
is not theory. but experience.
