Induced Her own Illness.

Much has been said concerning the
cure of disease by suggestion, and but
little in regard to the illness induced
by the same cause. 1t is said, how
ever, that Miss Annie NJ. Eller, Of No.
1871 Downing. street, New York, is the
despair of considerable number of
physicians in that city. About nine
years ago, when in perfect health, she
became the companion of woman suf-
fering from consumption. Miss Eller
was soon initiating the hacking cough
Of her mistress, unconsciously. This
became fixed habit. Prominent physi-
clans were interested in her case, and
many unsuccessful attempts made to
check consumption, which has now
been acquired. Serious hemorrhages
set in. She then developed eye and ear
troubles, with many other disorders
with which she has been brought in
contact. This victim OF self-inficted
diseases is an incurable invalid, al
though she has been treated IN many
hospitals.

The public gardens attract almost as
many people as the sea wall, for the
anemones are in blossom. Under the
palms and pepper trees this morning an
English girl and her lover were stroll
ing, and she was in blouse and sailor
hat and fresh as her spring fixings.
made with three plaits behind. Her
blouse was of grass linen limiting of
old rose. Last summer you would know
it was made-over old rose silk, but that
is not the idea this spring. he threads
of silk are woven in with the linen and
sometimes a bit of tinsel is added, too.
You get fabric that is light, cool and
of novel color effect, and what more
could you desire? This silk-linen blouse
was made with skirts that ruffled about
the hips with the narrow belt of gold
braid. 1t was made bright in front by
embroidery in gold thread and pink
floss upon strips of grass linen. 1t had
quite full sleeves gathered into long
cuffs set with embroidery. A smart
little cravat tie finished the turn over
collar. The white sailor hat was rather
broader than last years and was fin
ished with band Of old rose and green
ribbon.
Coaching on the Corniche road is in
full swing and pretty gowns bloom on
the box seat constantly. One of the
best and most novel so far was fine
brownish yellow cloth, with skirt quite
straight in front, giving the effect of
having been drawn sharply to the back
where it hung in deep folds. A foot
and half from the ground it was cir
cled eight or ten times by a fine
black velvet cord. The bodice was
bolero closed in front and Civ
ing the effect of sleeveless blouse.
1t was of yellow brown silk outlined
with black velvet cord and worked
with gold embroidery. The sleeves were
of the skirt material, corded near the
shoulders, tapering gradually and not
becoming tight until just before they
reached the hand. Black velvet collar,
gold cord belt and small hat Of yellow
straw trimmed with black and green
were the accessories.

A delegation of bishops of the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal church called
on President Mckinley at the White
House on the 10th and presented him
with the Bible on which he took the
oath of office.
The new patent convention with
Japan has been proclaimed by Presi-
dent Mckinley and is now operative.
Secretary of War Alger has not a
single office at his disposal, even his
confidential secretary being subject to
civil service rules governing appoint
ments, Notwithstanding this fact
nearly 5000 applications for Office have
been received by him.
The February report of the gross re-
ceipts of the 80 largest post Offices COM
pared with the same month of 1895,
show net decrease Of S125,019. OF the
80 offices only seven increased their re-
ceipts over February, 1896.
During the past seven months there
has been a decrease in immigration to
the United States, compared with the
same period last year, of 45,595.
1t is said Consul General Lees fami-
ly will leave Havana for the United
States within two weeks. This is
thought to indicate change in the
consulship.

Of tucking, too. Some Of the spring
frocks are trimmed from neck to hem.
Tailor gowns are built quite frequent
ly upon the princess plan. One Of light
gray cloth opens upon a front Of mill
tary blue. The robe is corded mp and
down the sides with dark blue silk,
and the front is braided with the same
material in bold arabesques. The bod
ice has a fiat collar which comes down
in epaulets upon the shoulders and is
of the gray cloth with dark blue braid.
A black straw hat is worn, with trim
mings of cornfowers. Another is of
white cloth with full round skirt
trimmed with narrow gold braid set
about it in five groups, each Of three or
four rows. The bodice is bolero edged
with gold braid and loops and opening
on the vest of white silk. The bolero
turns back upon the shoulders in broad
revers, making epaulets and q fiat col
Lar. The sleeves hardly expand at all
at the shoulders, not more than enough
to acknowledge the shape of the arm.
They are trimmed ut the flaring wrists
with gold braid.
White is the favorite color for the
"bicyclette" gown. A girl who dashed
about under the heels of the horses at
all hours wears white pique and a
white hat with pink roses. She has
full skirts, which are rare here. Bloom
ers are not so general as they were a
year or two ago, but they are still in a
large majority.
