HISTORICAL COSTUMES.

ball Talks of His Art.

the Designer for the Bradley Martha
ball Talks of His Art.
Consuming is an art which requires
thorough historical knowledge. Few
people realize this. but nevertheless to
costume correctly you must be a pro-
found student OF history"
This is what w. C. Stone, the New
York designer and costumer who was
In Topeka for the purpose of designing
the gowns for the festival queen and
court. said when asked about costum-
ing in general, says the Topeka State
Journal Mr. Stone was formerly on
the stage, but left the profession six
years ago to take up the work OF a cos
tuner.
"The work OF a costumer is in sense
suggested to him." continued Mr.. Stone.
people come to him with crude ideas
and suggestions and he simply perfects
them and carries them out. To dc this
he must be acquainted with almost
every period since the world was made,
and It takes good, hard study and re-
search to be able TO meet all require
ments.
"As an instance OF what a costumer
must know may be cited the big Brad
ley Martin ball In New York city. The
costumes worn at the ball were Of all
periods and ages, and the oostumers'
patrons simply told them what char
acter they wished TO represent. II was
simply the work OF the costumers to
carry out the ideas and prepare cos
tunes which were historically correct.
Probably every costumer IN New York
city worked on some OF the costumes
for the Bradley Martin ball. designed
many.
For the past two years l have had
charge Of the costuming OF the fiesta
at Los Angeles. Last year the fiesta
represented the Setting Sun and dis
plays were characteristic OF the differ
ent lands OF the sun. The committee
In charge OF the fiesta simply told me
what countries they desired represent
ed. and then took up the work OF ar
ranging scenes Characteristic OF the
different lands and supplying costumes
exactly similar 20 the costumes Of the
people Of the different countries.
) This year the fiesta represented
The Garden OF Flowers, and It was my
work to provide scenes representing
the different flowers suggested. Fol
. instance, In representing the mar
6 guerite.' provided a scene from Faust
r and. after selecting the scene The cos
. tuning simply followed in accordance
with the period For the lady slipper
a scene from Cinderella was taken, ant
for the white rose scene represent
a ing the house OF York was arranged
0 In the latter scene the costuming con
/ sisted IN supplying the court dresses 0
= that period in English history.
AT your festival In Topeka the cos
6 tunes OF the queen and court are 4
= be OF Louis ~ style. That is all
: need to know, and am now ready I
go ahead and design the costumes be
p cause l am familiar with the styles G
that period. To be successful a cos
! tuner must be perfectly familiar wit
D the court styles OF the times az leas
since the twelfth century.
T. In oostuming for the stage the idea
y are always suggested by the author {
X the piece and the costumer simply see
that the IDEAS are carried out correct
. ly. On the whole, Il is rather a IA:
cinating work."

THAT SILVER oRAZE.

The decision Of the English cabinet
not to join in an international none
tary council has been greeted by the
Republican press as crushing blow
to the silver craze" in the United
States. The Herald, of Omaha, Ne
braska, makes telling comment on
this turn Of affairs and says:
We're the ''silver craze" based on the
theories held by the spectators and
money changers OF Lombard street,
instead OF upon the sad and evil ex-
periences OF twenty-fonr years OF de-
monetization, there might be some
ground for the expression OF an opin-
ion that the cause of bimetallism had
received crushing blow" Bat the
people OF this country have been
plunged too deeply in disaster and
have lost too much In the value OF
their property and are suffering too
greatly from depressed business to for
get that the cause of all this distress
and loss and suffering is the gold
standard, which England wishes to be
maintained.
This stupid talk on the part OF Re
publican editors is discounted almost
daily by their own news columns, and
yet they persist in babbling about the
dying out OF the silver craze" The
Manufacturer, OF Philadelphia, admits
that the revival Of industries is ham
pered by the small amount OF money
available" and says that this fac
gives the free silver demAgogues q
powerful text on the inadequate sup
ply of money and puts his readers OF
his hearers into receptive mood fol
false doctrines.
Thus this gold advocate admits |
fact and denies the inevitable conelu
sion in the same paragraph. Th'
Democrats maintain that there cal
never be sufficient supply OF none.
with which to do the business OF thi
country on gold basis, aud the fact
confirm this contention. Taking sim
ply this one phase Of the question, is 1
not clear that, no matter what Eng
land may say or do, the "silver craze
cannot die out Ia the United States?

DR. GODFREY HUNTER, of Kentucky,
wanted the Guatamala mission under
Mckinley, but a small indictment was
hanging over him, and the great and
good president suggested that records
OF that sort might be unpleasant
things to come up, and so the doctor
got the record crossed out and then he
got the coveted mission. Another Nc
Kinley Republican wanted to be col
lector Of the second district, but there
was also hanging over him a similar
unfortunate record somewhere In
Kentucky, so the president appointed
one, Frank, to fill the Office until the
indicted applicant could straighten
out the kinks, and now the kinks are
out and Frank is chief clerk instead OF
collector. Indictments in Kentucky
go with the administration.

the Bahamas for another supply II

by the British officials.
Thus the representatives OF both the
United states aud England harass the
Cubaus in their struggle for freedom,
attempt to delay them, and conascate
goods purchased by the self-sacri6ce
OF men who contribute from their per-
sonal means toward a heroic cause.
Meanwhile hundreds OF inoffensive
Cuban people are starving to death by
inches on their native island. The ac-
counts of the death Of scores OF them,
even though bat briefly narrated, ap-
peals to the sympathy OF the hardest
heart.
II Is too much. it has gone too long,
AMI the pretense OF waiting till con-
gress meets in order TO shift the re-
sponnbility will but insure the death
OF hundreds and perhaps thousands
more Of the Cuban people.
Our government should at once rec
ognize the belligerency Of the Cuban
republic, and thus at least give these
brave men the free run OF our shores
1t causes the American, who in seltist
pride boasts OF his own liberty, tc
blush with shame to know that tho
naval forces OF his country are beinf
employed to hinder the prosecution o
this righteous war.
Mr.. President, you have sent ou
your Thanksgiving proclamation, nov
send out a proclamation OF Cuban rec
ognition and we would give still NOR
| hearty thanks.

Little Worries.

We have read of battle against
cannibals gained by the use of tacks.
They had taken possession of a whal-
ing vessel, and bound the man who
was left in care of it. The crew, on
returning, saw the situation, and scat
tered upon the deck of the vessel the
tacks, which penetrated the bare feet
of the savages, and sent them bowling
into the sea. They were ready to meet
lance and sword, but they could not
overcome the tacks on the floor. We
brace ourselves up against great GALA
mites. The little tacks of life, scatter
ed along our way, piercing our feet and
giving US pain, are hard TO bear. A
pastor was absorbed in studying the
question of socialism, when his wife
came in with despair on her face, and
she wanted advice about the servants.
"Oh, my DEAR" he replied, ~ cannot
give my time to little matters like do
mestic service. 1 am trying to solve
the social problem of the universe" "
"Well," replied the wife, 'you solve
the problem in the kitchen, and | will
promise you to solve the problem of
the universe in twenty-four hours"
Really, it is easier to dispose of those
great questions which cover the world
than it is to meet and successfully
overcome the little worries which pre-
sent themselves day by day.

is one very easily made. Sometimes it
is occasioned by sickness; very often
some small excuse, some grudge against

Jesus will be there, even if an un-
worthy member is present. Jesus may
be present especially to meet and for
give that unworthy mem ber and who
are we that we judge brother or a

peat Thomas error, or we may also

one be so jealous for the honor OF

no use to repeat what he said and how he said
II. He preached this morning in the same
building 10 a still larger audience. He took
occasion. both last night and to-day, TO pay
his respects To some OF the current evils of
to-day. The "blind tiger" and those who pat
roniZe and iail TO report IT. were dealt with
al great length. The "DispenSary," "POliti
