F-iSHION NOTES,
To Protect Satin Skirts.

Finish your long dress skirt, which must touch all around with putfing over it's edge. The puffing will natur- ally wear out, but it can be renewed without loss of length to the skirt. This is an especially wise finish to a
 black satin skirt, and if you want the skirt to last a very long time, then put over the little putfiag of satin a veil puffing of black gauge. It will hardly show and you can renew it as often as it grows soiled or torn, the satin being saved entirely. On colored sat ins, too, the dev ice is almost as help ful. It would be serviceable on the

It now appears that the report that the late Barney Barnato's estate was worth but $5,000,00O was not founded on the facts in the case. The millionaire really left a property immensely larger The executors of his will, however, de- cided to return the figure given to the tax officials, claiming that MT. Barnato was not subject to a levy on greater amount because he was not resident of England. It is said that not less than between s25,OOO,00O and S3O, 1000, 900 belonging to him was invested in the Barnato bank, and that apart from that sum his holdings in the South African mines are extensive.

Topeka, Eas.. Dec. 4-tSpecIal) Coinci-
dent with the return of prosperity in gen.
eral as Il result of the passage OF the new
tariff law comes the announcement of q
revival in the sheep industry OF Kansas
and the location in this state of its first
woolen mill. On Friday the Topeka woolen
mill became n reality. The machinery was
placed In motion, and for the first time in
the history of the Sunfower state fleece
OF wool was transformed into a piece of
cloth on Kansas soil.
Some years ago there was an old-fash-
toned wooden mill located at Blue Rapids,
but IT never manufactured anything but
coarse grade of horse blankets. No cloth
was manufactured. The demand for its
goods was limited. and after 4 few months
IL was forced TO the wall. Since then only
one effort has been made to establish that
industry I'm :he state, the present case ex-
cepted, and that was at Topeka two years
ago. At that, time William Appleyard, a
big wooden gopds manufacturer of Maine,
decided to locate a plant in Kansas. To-
peka capitalists erected big building for
the enterprise. and Mr.. Appleyard shipped
a large amount Of machinery from the
East. While II was on the road some trol-
BILE arose between him and the capitalists,
and as a result tina mill was never started.
The machinery never got further than
Kansas City. II was seized there by the
railroads for freight charges.
The wooden mill building stood idle. A
few months after the passage of the Ding
ley bill, some woolens manufacturers OF
Missouri. who formerly backed the Inde-
pcndence mill. which was destroyed by

MUCH INTEREST IN PROSPECTIvE
CABINET CHANGES.
IS Mr.. SHERMAN TO RETIRE?
PERSISTENT RUM0RS THAT JUDGE
DAY IS TO SUCCEED HIM.


Washington. Dec. 4.-(SpeciaL) The in-
terest in the forthcoming message Of the
president is equaled only by the interest
naturally felt in the coming change in the
personnel Of the cabinet. The retirement
of Justice Field from the supreme bench
having taken effect. the appointment of
Attorney General McKenna to succeed him
is expected very shortly. It has been
looked upon for some time as being a GER
tainty that the attorney general would
succeed Justice Field. and this rumor has
not been denied by, those in authority. It
has also been rumored among the poll
ticians that Judge Nathan Go1, of West
Virginia, was to have the place made va
cant by McKenna's promotion. in case he
SO desired, but this rumor has been super
seded by the practical certainty that the
place has been offered to Governor Griggs,
of New Jersey, and that heNhas accepted
Judge Goff and President Mckinley have
been close personal as well as political
friends. and 1t is well known that the West
Virginian was originally the presidents g
choice as the Southern member of the cab
met, but that he then declined, preferring
to remain on the bench Of the United
States circuit court. Whether he has again
declined. or whether President Mckinley
yielded his own to Vice President Hobart's
preferences in the matter of choosing an at
torney general is not made clear.
While all this gossip regarding the sue
cessor to McKenna has been going the
rounds, similar gossip has been prevalent
regarding two other members Of the cab
met. Postmaster General Gary Is said to
be working hard for senator from Mary
land to succeed Senator German. and In

nished an excellent field for a woolen mill.
They struck UP negotiations with the own
ers of the old building. which resulted in a
deal being closed. The mill was fitted up
with the latest machinery and the wheels
began to turn Friday. The company has
many orders already to fill. and-it expects
to be kept busy from the start:
The sheep industry shows signs Of re-
vivins in Kansas also. Kansas used to be
big sheep and wool producing state, but
the Wilson bill and other things killed the
industry. Now that better prices for both
sheep and wool are prevailing, Kansans
are again looking toward sheep. Although
the wool clip this year was not so heavy as
that of last by 10000 pounds, yet the sheep
men got $4,000 more for 1t.

THE PoPE's HEALTH POOR.
Three Times . Week for

London, Dec. IA dispatch to the Pail
Mall Gazette from Rome says that the
pope has not been enjoying his usual
health recently. DR.. Lapponi. the pope's
physician. has been obliged to adopt spe-
cial precautions against the weather. and
has increased the frequency of hot sand
baths, which his holiness has been taking
from once a week, to three times q week.
This. it is explained, is the only way by
which the doctor can counteract the
rheumatic symptoms Of the pope, which.
according to the dispatch. recur on the
slightest exposure.
DR.. Lapponi. it is added. has forbidden
his holiness to take part In any tiring func
ton, and therefore the programme mapped
out for the ceremonies which were to take
place on the sixtieth anniversary of the
celebration OF the first mass Of Leo XIII.

case he wins out 1t will be necessary to
look around for another gentleman to run
the mail department. The oft-repeated ru-
mors regarding the retirement of Secretary
of State Sherman have again been revived
this week. no doubt on account OF the near
approach of the session.
How much truth there Is in the rumor
that Secretary Sherman contemplates leav-
ing the cabinet and retiring to his home
at Mansfield, O.. 1t is not possible to say.
The rumors are said to have come from
well known friends of the secretary. They
are briefly to the effect that as the secre-
tary's health is not Of the best at present.
and as the approach Of the session will
bring him increased responsibilities. he
ought, in justice to his family. not to over
work himself 1t Is pointed out that he has
bad long and useful career. and that he
should now be content to leave the conduct
of the state department to other hands,
retiring to his home and spending the rest
Of his days in retirement. These rumors
cannot be confirmed. and are not denied.
Still, 1t is thought that even II the secre-
tary does contemplate retiring, 1t will not
be until the end of the present session. as
with Cuba on its hands the administration
needs the aid of such a statesman as Mr.
Sherman. He. moreover. Is not apt to draw
out of a conflict before 1t is over. The gos-
sips who circulated the story. however
claim that Judge Day. assistant secretary
of state, and who has been in active charge
of much of the business OF the state de-
partment. is fully competent to carry out
the policy of the administration. and that
in case Mr.. Sherman does decide to retire,
the cloak of the secretary OF state Will
fall upon Judge Days shoulders.
The politicians and hangers-on at WASH
ington seem to have agreed pretty gen.
erally that the presidents message will
deal lightly with Cuba. avoid any monetary
problems and counsel a policy of inaction
toward Spain. The Hawaiian matter will
probably be touched upon. but very light
ly, as that has already been practically
settled SO far as Major Mckinley is con-
cerned. There seems to be no reason why
the annexation treaty will not be ratified
in the early days Of the session. but. beyond
that, the session il apt to be uneventful
If the programme mapped out is to be fol-
lowed. Members of congress generally,
who are in the city. believe that it will be
better for business interests not to attempt
any financial legislation.
