FASHION NOTES,
White Satin Masked for Brides.

At almost all the late fall weddings the brides were gowned in white satin covered with mousseline de soie, It is true that the unbecomingness of satin is in these days almost always yelled by overlapping of some transparent material, and very often the satin is cut out at the neck, the pretty skin showing through the mousseline de soie only. The effect is both modest and becoming. A lovely bridal gown, view ed before the bride herself had seen it, was of satin, all covered with tiny frills of mousseline, and the effect was love- lY,

An Illinois court has decided that under the Australian ballot system a voter cannot be compelled to disclose for whom he voted. It is stated that this principle of law holds good even when the legality of an election Is ques- tioned in court proceedings, and when knowledge of how certain voters cast their ballots is necessary to determine the issue. A secret ballot is @ secret ballot.

In its work of hydraulic dredging on the lower Mississippi the United States government uses machine that sucks up sand and muck from the bottom of the stream and discharges the material one thousand feet away. It can be op- erated up stream or down stream, push ing with the cutters against the sand bar, or dragging them backward. In the stern of the dredge are two "spuds," or piles, which are driven down into the river bed to act as piv- the arc of a circle, sucking up all the sand which comes near the cutters, and, by swinging on one of the spuds as & pivot, the dredge can remove 1900 cubic yards of bottom without moving forward; it can move forward at the rate of 51a feet a minute and suck up sand at the rate of 5000 cubic yards an hour, in a short time cutting 8 channel the full width of the battery of cutters across sandbar. This enor- nous sand sucker is 172 feet long and 40 feet wide, and weighs, with its ma chinery, 1,200 tons. It carries ninety tons of coal and has a water ballast to euualize the draft. It has a battery of four S75-horse power boilers, the run ners of the centrifugal pumps being seven feet in diameter. The engines driving the pumps are triple expansion, and are of the vertical. inverted, four cylinder tandem type.

Less than two years ago a man and his wife in Baltimore borrowed $50 from a loan company, giving their household goods as security, and number of in- terest notes which obligated them to pay as interest $2S for every six months. They have already paid $S5.50 in interest, but, as they still owe s49.50 interest, as well as the pincipal, the creditor threatened to seize their fur niture. Thereupon the hopeless debtors invoked the courts for some redress; but the judge was compelled to say that he could do nothing. And in or der to save their furniture they will have to pay back the original $50 and S135 for two years use of it.

The Chicago Record says that the guarantees of the companies which have paved the principal streets of that city have been for so short peril cd heretofore as to be practically use- less. The streets are paved so that they last well for a few years, about the period of the guarantee, and then they go to pieces and the city is sad dled with expense for continual re- pairs. The Record thinks that the rem edy for this is guarantee for ten or fifteen years, and as other cities secure such terms it cannot see why Chicago should not be able to do the same.

4 Royal Maid of Honor.
tFron the Chicago News.)

1t is great distinction TO be chosen as
one OF Queen Victoria's maids of honor.
but it entails obligations. The position Is
strictly dependent upon birth, for the maid
must either lie the daughter or grand
daughter CT a peer. When appointed the
Lnaids receive the title of honorable, w hicn
they retain through life.
Each maid OF honor las three months of
waiting every year, and often her young
friends are apt to regard her being very
fortunate Tor receiving $500 month for her
actual tinre of waiting. But il is quite
mistake u suppose that the duties are
trifline or that the post is in any sense 4
sinacure. Nothing save severe Illness can
allow OF u maid of honor altering or posi-
poning her term Of waiting. She has to Ls
literally at the beck and call Of her roy.L
mistress. and though 10 objection is mIie
to each young lady bringing with her 4
pet-at the present moment the Hon. Miss
Cadogan Possesses one of the most valua-
ble dogs in the world-even the permission
to receive q cali FROM a friend or relation
MUST be asked and obtained before 4 II Aid
of honor can he lat home" to any Of htg
aequaintalces.
Only two maids of honor are in wli,ihg
at a tirne. They each have q pretty suite
of rooms, including n pleasant sitting
room, and it is there that they are expected
to spend most Of their time when not cctur
ally with their royal mistress The maids

for. as soon as her mai iesty has dismissed
her private secretary, sh.. sends fpr one Of
her maids of honor to read to her selec.

generally accompanied b. the other maid.
Luncheon is generally taken with the
household although occasionally .,ne OF

a maid Of honur's work is that she never
sits down except when specially asked to

tist Church.

votioE to His Race by D.stin-
guished Speakers.

The respect in which the late John
Mercer Langston was held by the resi-
dents of W sshington as plainly evidenced
by the large and representative audience
which attended the memorial exercises,

Baptist Church.
The services were held under the au-
spices of the Lyceum of the congregation
OF the Second Church and were presided
over by Mr. Jesse La wson. who opened the

the deceased. He spoke OF the great sac
rjfices Mr.. I.angston made to gain the
full measure of American citizenship, ne
recognized the price he would have to pay,
Mr. La wson said but he was not deferred.
and by hard struggles met the requirements
which crowned him withthe glory and iio .ror
of being a man, in the eyes OF the American
people. Mr.. Langston was always in the
front in defense of the rights of his race,
and at al! times and under all circumstances
had the c, urage to express his convictions.
His death was untimely, for never were
his advice and strength needed more than
at the present time.

Whereas Mr. Langston was IN ardentlover

Whereas his voice Will be heard no more
in the press, from therostrum, or In the cuun-
cilsof the nation,i II defense OF those car dinal
and civic virtues which go to make race
and a nation nobler and better;
Resolved, That in the death of Mr.. Lang

patriotism one OF its stanche5t advocates;
that while We feel that humanity itself is

us today to the amount of at least
one hundred millions. This is a
strong defense, truly, but it may not
be counted upon forever. Another
season may bring better crops in
consuming countries and in in coun-
tries which compete with us IN sup
plying the deficiencies of the world.
In that case, there would be less
demand for cereals from the United
States, and the exportable surplus
would command smaller prices than
now rule. Moreover, one important
American staple-which for many
years has served as the great debt
payer of the United States cotton
is selling at price which tends to
offset the high values we are receiv-
ing for bread stuffs and provisions
exported.
The retaliatory tariff measures now
under discussion in some European
countries would, if adopted. check
the shipments of our manufactured
articles which, in the last two years.
have helped greatly to swell the
merchandise trade balance IN our
favor.
We have every reason to believe
that the preset congress, aided by the
conservative influence of President
will see to it that repe-
tition of the "endless chain,' which
has wrought such havoc in the past,
will be made impossible for the
future.
