COBDENIsNI A FAILURE.
Speech by Duke of DevOnshire at a
Reception to Colonial Premiers.

LIVERPOOL, June 12.-The colonial
premiers and their ladies, including the
Canadian premier, Mr.. Wildred Laurier,
and Mrs. Laurier, were the guests this
evening of the Liverpool Chamber of Com
merce in the concert room of st. George
Hall. A large and distinguished audience
gave enthusiastic welcome to the visi-
tors. The Duke of DeVonshire president
of the British Empire League, made an adj
dress, in the course of which he said that
while we continue to believe that free
trade is the best and wisest policy for this
country we all see that the virtues and
results which were expected TO follow free
trade have not been realized, and the pro-
falsitied. Yet the Cobdenites still seek to
persuade us that it is best that Great Brit
ain should be the only free trade country
in the world. During the last fifty years
we have learned by painful experience that
neither old nor new markets are opening
to us by the influence of free trade alone,
and that If we want to provide the increas-
ing commerce necessary for the support of
our increasing population we must find
those markets ourselves and not neglect
the opportunity of expanding and consoli-
dating the colonies"
At the close of the dukes address the
audience called persistently for Mr.. Laurfer,
who finally rose, though with evident re-
luctance. The premier said: You have
been told that l am not of British blood
but l have been brought up under British
institutions and have learned that no state
can exist unless it respects the law. The
law this afternoon is that / shall not
speak.

WASHINGTON, June 12.-The Republican
senators in their caucus to-day failed to

procity treaty and adjourned with the un-
derstanding that another caucus would be

agreement to accept the House provision

KANSAS CITY, June 12.-Harry Whal-
len, travelling circus performer, was cut
open at his own request al the German
Hospital here to-day and fully three hand
fuls of hardware, which he had swallowed

fooled him, and ! haven't been well since" ="
Whallen was examined under the cathode
rays last night, the test demonstrating that
some opaque substance the size of quart
measure was located in his stomach.
Whallen offered even bets last night that
the opaque mass would be found to con-
tain not fewer than one hundred nails and
three jackknives. Several men were in
clined to cover Whallen's money until they
saw the X-ray photograph of his interior
arrangements, when they preferred TO take

did not get money enough on bets to pay
for the operation.

twenty-eight men killed. including Colonel
Bunny, the British commander; Captain

SWELL CYCLING SUIT.
oss ordered for a New York Girl Ii
to Cost $715.


to Cost $715. a,
The most expensive bicycle suit on
record has Just been ordered at one of
the SWEETEST tailors in New York
The girl who meets the bill is worth
million in her own right, is an athletic
beauty and a reigning belle in the ultra
smart set.
The suit which makes the bill is the
mosts elaborate ever designed in this
country. 1t is lined with silk, finished
with jewels and will cost lump sum of
$715.50.
Two "Scott and Adie" shawls at SIS
apiece will be employed in making the
skirt and Jacket. And, by the way,
these English shawls are the very latest
thing for any sort of fancy outing suit.
The skirt will be stitched half way
to the knees, with the lines of stitching
not over sixteenth of an inch apart;
this Is the new device to stiffen the
lower part of the skirt without adding
to the weight al r'l
The edges Of the jacket are also
stitched, and, together with the skirt,
it Is deliberately braided, which latter
touch adds some s25 to the expense.
Bloomers and Innings of suit through
out will be of silk-not less than 16
yards of silk to be used, which gives an
other item of $22.5o. With the boomers
have been ordered half dozen in
terlining of the finest lawn at $3.50 a
pair.
Loose jackets are no longer the cor
rect thing for the crack bicyclist. The
newest waist is tight-ftting always,

Ne,x odors for Flowers.

It is a fad in Paris to perfume flowers
artihcially. Experiment has proved
that it is possible not only to take away
the natural odor of flower, butts also to
make it yield a perfume derived from
some other vegetable product. Some vio-
let's, for example, are perfect in form
and coloring, but without fragrance,
while others, very Insignificant to look
at, emit a delicious fragrance. The
transfer of the odor from one species
to the other has been accomplished.
Those who have been most successful
in this branch of horticulture refuse
to tell their secret. 1t Is said that the
African marigold has been robbed of its
disagreeable odor and endowed with a
perfume that makes it much sought.
The fad has been carried to the extreme
of giving to the sunfower the odor OF
the rose and to the chrysanthemum
that of the violet.--N. Y. Sun.

and worn with series of vests and
shirt fronts. -
It sounds very simple Just to say: ~
shall order at least three vests for my
new bicycle suit" doesn't it? Well,
that is what the "millionairess" in
question did, and these three vests are
going to cost $25 apiece. The principal
color in her suit is green, so she has or
.dered one vest of sage green, one of
geranium red, embroidered in black and
gold, and one of white broadcloth, en-
broidered in silver. With these vests
she will wear snow-white linen shirt
fronts and black satin ties.
And $25 is not so very extravagant for
a vest, when you stop to consider that
the garment is made when the material
is wet and has to be nodded to the
figure. i -
A Panama straw hat, fawn color and
trimmed with scarlet and green, will
add one $40 item, and bicycle boots of
finest leather will add another of SIS.
Golf stockings in mixed green's and
tans will be worn in place of the high
top boot. An entire box of these stock
ings has been ordered, as it is difficult
to match them exactly. Fifteen dollars
half dozen will buy the softest and
best in the shops.
But the browning extravaganza of
this particular ''bilring" maid is yet to
come. Her belt of elephant green leath-
er is clasped with buckle of oxidized
silver set with emeralds. The buckle
is in the form of two bicycle wheels; the
rim of each wheel is bordered with
small green stones, large single en-
erald forming the hub. This trifing
decoration to adorn the slender waist"
of the pretty wheelwoman will cost
treble the price of her wheel; that is to
say, exactly SOON. Y. Sunday Jour

Josephine. The service is said to have
been birthday present to the empress

it was given by Josephine to her fa.
vorite femme de chambre. Some years
later it was sold, and came into the
hands of NJ. Perrot, a well-knowr
French collector, who afterward parted
with it for 6 1000. 1t only inspired one
bid-a hundred guineas-and, like the
crown jewels, was accordingly with

ALL ABOUT SHOES.
When 10 buy Them and How TO Take
Care of Them.

When 10 buy Them and How 10 Take
Care Of Them.
Buyers should never go in the early
morning to buy boots and shoes. II
it is remembered that activity and
standing enlarge the feet, and at the
latter part of the day they are at their
maximum size, there would not be so
many complaints of shoes being tight,
which at the time of fitting seemed
perfectly comfortable. Shoes, like
gloves, wear longer and better If kept
for some time before using; and it is
wise to keep several pairs for week
before wearing them, and several pairs
to alternate with. Never wear shoe
too small or that does not fit when you
first put it on, for misery more complete
than a shoe that pinches does not ex-
list. A shoe should be washed every now
and then with wet rag and oiled over
night. In this case fresh application
of blacking restores the brilliancy Of
the leather. A wet shoe must never
be placed too near the fire, for it will
become hard and stiff. The way to save
a shoe that is wet from an early grave
is to wipe it off and then apply an oil
or cream by means of soft piece of
flannel or cloth. Wear old shoes in.
bad weather. Rubbers always spoil q
new shoe. Patent feathers should never
be handled until warmed, and they can
be made smooth and bright by cream
rubbed in by cloth or by the palm Of
the hand, which is better. If shoes are
washed once month they will be soft
and impervious to water. Those who
suffer from aching feet should occa-
sionally sponge the insides of their
shoes with a moderately strong solu-
ton of ammonia. The shoes must be
perfectly dry before they are put on.
The way to clean kid boots which will
not bear backing is to roll strip Of
flannel four inches wide and good
yard long into wad and sew it tight
ly. Dip it into saucer filled with q
few drops of olive oil and good black
ink. Daub the shoe all over, and, taking
fresh flannel, rub the shoe until 1t
is dry. By this means the painful ap-
proach of purple and the dreaded white
cracks will be delayed. A fine polish
and one that will make the leather last
longer than the ordinary backing does
will be obtained if the following mix
ture Is used: Two ounces of ivory
black, three ounces of molasses and one
pint of vinegar. Mix them together.
and, having also stirred five grains of
sperm oil and six drachms of oil of
vitrioL work all the ingredients to-
gether. Tan shoes should be washed
once week with saddle soap before ap-
plying polish, which can be made by
mixing one ounce of muriatic acid, half
an ounce Of alum, half an ounce Of gum
arabic and half an ounce of spirit of
lavender into one-half pint of sour milk.

HUNTING IN A PASTURE.
1t Resulted in Difficulty Between the
Owner and the Hunter.

c. E. Lightner appeared before JUS
tice Shook this morning to answer a
charge of assault to murder made by
Martin Locke. After hearing the tes-
timony of both sides the court decided
to take the matter under advisement.
The charge arose from a difficulty that
took place in .Lightner's place of bus
mess on West Houston street last
Thursday. According to the testimony
Lightner, on the invitation of one Mr.
Bacon, went hunting in the Locke pas
ture, several miles west of the city,
and Locke accused Lightner of having
built fire near his barn, and also of
having thrown cigar stumps and whis-
ky TASKS into a cistern on the place.
Hot words ensued and Lightner grab
bed shirt knife and struck Locke
Lightner says he struck Locke with
his right hand and held the knife in
the left hand in order to defend him
self in the event, that Locke had been
armed. He struck Locke in the face,
infiicting cut, but he believes the cut
was caused by ring he had on his
finger. In the meantime Lightner is
under bond in the sum of $500.

CONCESSIONS FORFEITED.

New York, June 1.-THE Journal

struction company, at the office of the
company in this city, John Pratt, the
secretary said in an interview: "The
concessions which have been forfeited
were for lines of road, which had not
been built within the time allowed un-
der the terms of the grant. The con-
struction company now own and oper-
atss road between the port of Manza-
milo on the Pacific coast of Mexico
and Colima, the capital of the state of
Colima. 1t also owns piece of road
