Novelties In Dress Goods.

There is much to attract in fall and
winter goods this year. All the shades
of olive are among the favorite colors.
Yale blue and golden brown are popu-
lar, and the beige and castor tints are
much in vogue.
Border effects are again in fashion.
The most beautiful example of this is
a woven plisse cloth, with ribbon bor-
der. There are five rows of ribbon
forming the boder, which are woven
with the material. The ribbon is gen.
orally the same color as the fabric.
This exquisite material comes in all
the new shades. 1t is sold in patterns
of-seven yards.
The plain cloths, showing Zibe-
line border, are most attractive. The
border is generally of silvery gray,
and comes in all the latest shades.
The silvery gray, on prune shade, is
fashionable combination.
Another new materialwhich boasts
border is soft, smooth French cloth
with black astrakan border. The
border is woven with the material and
is from eight to nine inches in width.
Zibeline cloth is to be one of the
favorites of the season. 1t is really O
broad cloth, with a camel's hair face.
The best quality is forty-eight inches
wide. 1t wears admirably, and one of
the greatest things in its favor is that
it sponges beautifully. This Zibeline
cloth can be bought in all the new
shades.
A figured wool poplin, with mo-
hair figure, is an excellent example of
the less expensive materials. In rich
dark blue, with the figure in black, it
will make most serviceable gown.
The two-toned cork screw materials
are warranted to wear we'll.
All the plaids are particularly popu-
lar. They come in at least fifteen diff
ferent colors.
One of the most stylish patterns in
plaids is small plaid almost check.
In coloring it shows three different
shades of green and two of brown.
Some of the newest plaids are outlined
with fine gold line.

white Chainois Gloves.

"Get white chamois bicycle gloves, "
says one woman bicycle rider. They
are cool and comfortable, and also in
expensive, and can be cleaned readily.
But do not wash them in soap and
water. Use naphtha or gasoline, and
treat them as you would ordinary
gloves. Care has to be used with
these inhammable liquids, but there
is little danger with proper precau-
tions. Cleaning the gloves in this
way prevents them from losing shape,
as the chamois glove does under or
dinary washings. 1t also saves time,
for the glove is not so difficult to put
on after cleaning.

Appeals for aid for the distressed
people of Virginia, MINI, were sent
to many wealthy men, not long ago.
Some responded literally. Mr.. Car

dollars. The name of Mr.. Rookie
feller did not appear on the list of
contributors, and the Standard Oil
magnate was criticised for refusing
aid. 1t has now been discovered that
he did not disregard the appeal, but

PIaids Are PopuInr.

The shops are full of plaids. There
are plaids in every grade of material,
from rich silks to cheap cotton and
wool materials. There is room for
the exercise of a great deal of taste
and discretion of selecting aud wear
ing plaids. Very large women should
abjure them altogether, the slender
young ones can wear almost any of
them, and the ordinary woman most
any of the darker ones. Some of
these will be very stylish when made
up with dark furs.

The public is, perhaps, indirectly
indebted to the bicycle for the intro
duction into the market of very fine

bined with macintosh cloth. II

besides its cleanly qualities, wears ex-

six inches wide for the bottom of BIZ
cycle skirts. The velveteen is not
only shrunk by the rubber treatment.
but it acquires thickness and re-
sistance to wear very valuable in a

THE FINISHING TOUCHES.

1Anate Adopts the Reciprocity and Retail
iatiOn Sections Of the Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Reciprocity
and retaliation clauses have been added
to the tariff bill by the senate. The re-
taliatory clause provides that whenever
any country bestows an export bounty
on any article there shall be levied, i'll
addition to the duties provided by the
act, an additional duty equal to the
amount Of the bounty. The clause was
agreed to, 33 to 10, the two Democratic
senators from Louisiana, Catfcry and
McEnery, voting with the Republicans
in the affirmative. The reciprocity
clause empowers the president, with the
advice and consent Of the senate, to
make reciprocity treaties, giving 20 per
J, cent reduction in duties on designated
articles or placing articles on the free
vt. The amendment, adding the
! rds. "by and with the consent of the
nate" brought out the opposition,
-, snators Mills, Vest, Pettus, Teller and
7 White saying that it evaded the consti-
tutional right Of the house of represen-
tatives to participate in measures affect
ing revenue, while Senators Morgan,
Gray and Chandler defended it's legal
ity and propriety. 1t was agreed to, 80
to Is, two Democrats-Gray and Nor
gan-voting with the Republicans in
the affirmative.

''Owing to the manifest strength Of
the bimetallic interest in America,
there is actually considerable prospect
that France will agree beforehand to
open her mints to silver.
If we reopen ours, even without
such an agreement, France is certain to
follow the United States. In case
France or the United States proceed, or
either alone, Great Britain will heartily
cooperate to the fullest possible extent
short Of coming full tender silver at
London. The India mints will reopen,
the Bank Of England will lay in silver
reserve and perhaps half sovereigns be
withdrawn in favor of silver certificates
Further than this, England will not go.

\ WASHINGTON, July 5.-Senator ALI
= offered an amendment to the tariff
n-ogiving bounty of one-fourth of a
cehv per pound on beet sugar produced
in the United States.
Mr.. Jones (Ark.) expressed surprise
that on the day which was hoped to be
the last of the tariff debate, the COM
mittee should bring in this far-reaching
amendment, embodying one of the most
radical departures made in century.
the line of bounty legislature had proved
disastrous, he said.
Mr.. Allison explained that the amend.
ment was a precise reproduction of the
bounty clause of the law Of 1890, except
that it was confined to beet sugars, and
Ale rate was limited to one.fourth Of a
cent a pound.
''Oi course there is no use talking
about hurrying this proposition now" p"
said Mr.. Jones. "There must be time
to look into it..
Certainly" responded Mr.. Allison.
'eThere is no purpose to hurry it,
MIR. Allison further explained that the
purpose Of the amendment, and the only
purpose, was to increase the production
IT sugar beets and the making of sugar
