FASHION NOTES.

Double-faced satin makes lovely
bows but more taffeta is sold as a i
trimming.
Black and white still reigns supreme
black velvet ribbons put on in a
Greek key pattern, or in V designs, are
still much used for trimming frocks
Pockethooks come in a score Of diff
ferent colors and shapes, but the very
latest follow out the craze for violet,
being of pale purple Illuminated
leather, decorated with pansies or yio-
lets in their natural hues.
Gros-grain brocades will surely ap-
peal to all lovers of handsome silks.
They come in all the new color com
hirations,, but are especially pleasing
in black grounds scattered over with
pale blue conventional designs.
Bengaline, Ottoman silk, faille Fran
cas- and all silks of like nature are
in demand this season. Bengalines
are shown in all the latest shades
and will be used for separate skirts
trimmings and entire costumes. They
are very smart and rich looking.
Brocades, which look as if fine lace
shawl had been carelessly thrown over
them, are also exquisite for dainty
evening gowns. They should be
trimmed with lace resembling as much
as possible the design shown on the
| brocade.
The rage for lace in woman's finery
extends nowadays literally from head
| to foot, for lace slippers and low shoes
made of stiffened net and trimmed with
lace rosettes are shown for ball room
wear.
| Green, gray, blue in several shades,
and brown in many tones are the pre-
vailing colors in cloth gowns, but they
| are handsomely varied by deep rich
shades in plum, dahlia and Parma
violet
Surplice effects in chiffon are especi-
ally pretty for low-cut evening dresses
and the addition of a short lace bolerc
will transform this bodice into very
desirable dinner waist.
A pretty tailor made gown is made
with an Eaton coat, braided with black
and a full accordion plated vest o.
green silk. The sleeves are very close
fitting, with small puffs at the top
which are slashed to show the plated
| silk beneath.
. Fashionable modistes say that the,
make neatly. as many fancy zouav
bolero and Spanish jackets or JACKIE
effects for stout as for slender women
These jackets interfere in no way witt
the outline or size Of the waist and III
rather broad effect impaired by tn
} Jacket makes the waist look smalle
by contrast, and at the same time tone
| and conceals the over-full outline
above it.

A Temperance Meeting.

The meeting in the Congregational
church Sunday evening under the auspic IS
OF the Young Mems club was devoted to
the discussion OF two phase, Of the tenn
perance question. The first speaker was

was "Some Causes of Intemperance. He
said: Il am not for prohibition first and
temperance second; | am for temperance
first and last. l am ready to vote for the
law that brings about the largest curtail-
ment of the drink evil. Heredity is pro-
life source of intemperance. Even moder-

WALKING Exercise,

While people residing in the country
can always obtain ample exercise by
indulging in pleasant pastimes, it is
different for the numerous jewellers lin
busy city pent'' to get away, and says
medical contemporary, they conse
quently suffer oftentimes from dys-
pepsia and indigestion, and the girl
from pale and blotched skins and gen.
eral languor.
They neglect the one form of exercise
open to them, without either expense
or trouble-a good sharp walk. Not
slow, aimless ambling, looking into
shop windows, but real determined
three or four mile walk, in which every
muscle of the body is brought into
play-limbs, chest, neck and chin.
Let the pale, languid, anaemic girl
who feels too inert to perform the
simplest daily task with pleasure or
interest, begin to try it. She will find
herself transformed into healthy
girl, able to sleep soundly, to rise early,
and to perform tasks she would never
have dreamed before of undertaking.
In fact, walking is such a simple rene
dy for so many of the ills that flesh is
heir to, and cure SO certain to be
crowned with success, that the habit of
daily exercise, once established, will
become a delight and a necessity.

you know, DR.. de Blois, that the name of
Moray stands as high in its own country
perhaps a great deal higher-than that
of De Blois in Belgium. / feel the slight
you have cast upon my mothers connec-
tions and my own more deeply still; and
l shall never forgive it nor forget 1t to
my dying day!'
And with this poor Angus, unable long
er 10 trust his voice or his eyes, rushes
abruptly from the surgery into the open
air. Dr. de Blois looks after him with
a troubled air.
Poor boy." he says, regretfully.
Heaven knows | would have spared him
if I could. but it was quite impossible.
How could | let him marry her after what
have heard? How bring his mother into
my family to be a daughter to my father
and mother sister to my sisters, a
mother to my child? 1t is not to be
thought of. All Bruges would rise up
in condemnation against me! No! this
is the right hand that has to be cut off,
the right eye that must be plucked out. at
whatever cost to myself or to Gabrielle.
l may break my heart and her own-but
it shall never be said that Andre de Blois
was the one wantonly to disgrace a fam
lily of which he is already but too unwor-
thy a member.'

a MILLION FOR OUR SAILORS
War Will Result in the Division OF
Fortune Among Them.

At least $1,OOO,OOO prize money will be
distributed among American sailors as
result of the war with Spain. More than
one-half of this sum will be paid in &C
cordance with that section of law provid-
ing for the payment of bounty for per-
sons on board of vessels of war sunk IN
action. From the official report OF Ad-
miral Montejo, commanding the Spanish
feet sunk at Manila, there were 1870
persons on board the ships under his COM
mand. The Spanish fleet was of inferior
force to the American squadron and Rear
Admiral Dewey's men will therefore get
only 500 for each person. Rear Admiral
Dewey. as commander-in-chief,w will, how
ever, be $9375 richer than he was before
the war. Rear Admiral Sampson has re-
allied a snug little fortune as the result
of the war. AS commander-in-chlef OF
the North Atlantic fleet he will get one
twentieth of every prize taken in North
Atlantic waters and one-twentieth of the
head money allowed for the vessels de-
stroyed off Santiago and in Cuban ports.
1t is estimated that he will finally receive
about $40, 900 as his share of prize money.
The amount of head money due the fleet
will consequently aggregate S249,2OO.

Spanish General Starts for Madrid

Havana is in a state of surprise at the
secret departure of Gen. Pando with 12,-
100000 francs. Few can offer any ex-
PLANTATION of the generals conduct, and ap
parently no one can tell where che big
amount Of treasure came from. The army
and civil pay rolls are both several months
in arrears, and there is much dissatisfac-
ton among the Spanish at the withdrawal
from Cuba of a sum of money which more
than represented the amount due them.
Gen. Pando, with the big hoard of money
secretly went aboard the French steamer
Notre Dame de Salut He turned his
wealth over to Captain Pillard and locked
himself in his cabin until the boat left
the harbor,

Champion Talking Parrots.

Jacob, talking parrot, owned by
Grant Ridley, of Holloway Road, Lon
don, England, brings in to his master
f30O every year. Mr.. Ridley has been
offered FL 800 for him, but he is worth
more than that.
This wonderful bird has perfect COM
mand over 1000 words, and never puts
a sentence together incorrectly; he can
also talk three languages and ten dia
lects. Whatever language or dialect
you address him in he will reply to in
the same tongue. Eighty pounds was
paid by the Archduchess Stephanie,
widow of the Austrian Crown Prince,
for parrot which could recite the Pa
ternoster in six different languages.
When the Archduchess got the wonder
full bird home it could not utter a word,
and the merchant who sold it was ar
rested for fraud. 1t turned out that he
was a ventriloQuist, and he had taught
the bird to open his mouth and appear
to be talking while his ventriloquism
lasted. The Sultan of Turkey paid ESQ
for a gray parrot that could speak 25O
words

President Cheers the Soldiers by Kind
Words While Making Inspection.
President Mckinley spent seven hours
in Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, bare
headed most Of the time, visiting the SICK
in the hospital and inspecting the wen IN
their environments. He made speech TO
the assembled infantrymen, reviewed the
cayalrymen. expressed his opinion OF the
camp to the reporters, and issued an order
directing the regulars to return to their
stations east of the Mississippi. With the
President were Vice-President Hobart,
Secretary Of War Alger, Attorney Cen
eral Griggs. Senator Redfeld Proctor OF
Vermont: Brigadier General Eagan, COM
missary of the army; Brigadier General
Ludington, quartermaster or the army
Col. III. Hecker and Secretaries to the
President Porter and Cortelieu. Inc Ia
dies of the party were Mrs. Alger ana
Miss Hecker, daughter Of Col. Hecker.
Gen. Wheeler, his staff, and nearly every
officer Of prominence in the camp met tne
President at the station. After greetings
and introductions on the railway plat
form, the President took Gen. Wheelers
arm and went to a carriage. The column
Of carriages wound up hill, escorted by
the Third cavalry regiment, and the
mounted band Of the Sixth cavalry, and
drove Mr.. Mckinley to Gen. Skaters
tent in the detention camp. The general,
who was flushed and weak from mild
case of malaria fever, was in full uniform,
sitting in chair at the door of the tent
He tried to rise, but Mr.. Mckinley SAID:
'Stay where you are, general. You are
entitled to rest"
The President congratulated Gen. Shat
ter on the Santiago campaign, and after
few minutes rest proceeded to the gen.
eral hospital The soldiers recently ar
rived on transports and detained in the
detention section of the camp lined up
irregularly on each side of the road and
cheered. Mr. Mckinley took off his straw
hat then, and scarcely more than put it on
for more than a minute at time during
the remainder Of his progress through the
camp. Miss Wheeler, daughter of the
general, happened to be in the first row of
the hospital tents, and she showed the
President through her division. Gen.
Wheeler announced in each ward: Boys,
the President has come to see you, or,
Soldiers, the President Of the United
States"
Some of the soldiers were unconscious,
some listlessly raised on their elbows, 9TH
ers feebly clapped their hands. Mr.. Nc
Kinley gently shook hands with many,
and at every cot he paused an instant, and
if he saw the sick men looking at him he
bowed in direct and personal way. He
had many bits of talk with the men, and
seemed to be in no hurry. He almost out
wore the patience Of all his party by slow
going through ward after ward.

After Amazing Europe by His Extrav-
agance, M. Hope Dies In Poverty.
Princess De Sagan of Paris, with
whom her husband, the prince, recently
renewed relations after long separa-
ton, occupies house with a history,
though a new one. 1t was built by
Hope, the banker, out of part of the
profits he realized in helping the Gov
eminent of Louis XVIII. to pay off the
war indemnity which the invaders of
France demanded in 1915. Hope had
united his destiny with that of beau
tiful Arlesienne, who became by her
second marriage Mime. Rapp. To draw
company to her house to entertain her
he gave Lucullian banquets. His chef
was the first to cook canvas-back ducks
in Paris. They were brought over alive,
in tanks from Maryland to Havre, and
fed on the way with wild celery and
othe rvictuals they liked At a ball
that he gave one winter there were 80,
600 francs worth of forced Strawber
ries. He refused to say whether they
came from Perpignan or the Riviera.
Somebody said to Baron James Roths
shild:
1T is now your turn to trump Hope"
Il can't afford such Lucullian
freaks" said the baron.
Hope, however, was cheeseparing
about small expenses. He one dav
found an error in his club accounts of
2 francs, and went back to claim the
money. The cast-off house linen was
always sent to the auction mart and
Hope went himself to look after the
sale. He died in relative poverty. and
his house was sold for fifth of what it
cost to the army contractor, Selliere.

interest was shown in the proceedings.
The public galleries were densely crowd

In the Senate Prime Minister Sagasta
read bill authorizing the Government to
conclude peace with the United States
and also authorizing the alienation Of ter
ritory. He said that the immense supe-
rierity of til. Americans deprived the
country of l.leans of defense. The de-
struction OF the souadrons compelled
Spain to seek peace and necessitated the
acceptance of the dismemberment Of the
colonies proposed by the United States.
