WASHINGTON. July lit was confident
ly expected by the War Department off,
Gals that when the operators in Santiago
working the English cable to Jamaica left
their station and took refuge on an English
ship the Spanish officials in Cuba would be
entirely cut off from communication with
the home government. This apparently is
not the case il a rumor which reached
General Greedy, the chief signal officer of
the army, during the day is correct. This
was TO the effect that before leaving their
station in Santiago the English operators
had connected the wire running into that
city from Havana with that leading to
Kingston Jamaica, in which case direct
communication from Havana to the latter
named city may be obtained. Naturally
with such a long circuit and unfavorable
conditions existing this connection may be
easily interrupted at any time. but the fact
that the operators resorted to this device
creates no little dissatisfaction and feeling
among the War Department officials. who
regard such action as unnecessary and I'M
called for in the present circumstances.

or Napoleon provided upon its found
alton in 1902 that women should be eX-
cluded, but was induced to abrogate
this rule by the remarkable exploits of
young girl who concealed her sex and,
enlisting in place of her sickly brother,
distinguished herself on the field of bat
tie. Her name was Virginie Ghesquire.
Her sex was finally discovered through
a wound the Sergeant received while
saving the life of a colonel in battle.
Marie Schelling, a Belgian girl, in
duced by love of the military life,
fought in the French armies at Jemap-
pas, where she received six sabre cuts;
at Jena and Austerlitz, being twice
wounded at the latter battle. In 1906
she had risen to the rank of sub1ieu-
tenant, and her sex being accidentally
discovered, she was retired with the
Cross of the Legion and considerable
pension.
There were no investitures Of women
with the Legion of Honor from 1915 till
1852, when a Sister of Mercy received

regnant the queen mother. Among
those who possessed this order was
Princess Joanna Bismarck, late wife of
the former German chancellor. This
lady also possessed the cross Of merit, an
order founded by the wife of Maximil-
Han of Mexico, the Empress Charlotte,
who has for many years lived in an in
sane asylum at Laeken, in Belgium.
This order is, of course, now extinct.
Princess Bismarck also possessed the
order exclusively for women founded in
1880 by Sultan Abdul Hamld Of Turkey
the "Nischani Schefakat" or "Shefkat."
Among the many distinguished possess
sors Of this order is a simple Turkish
girl who enlisted in the army instead
of her brother, the sole support of the
family, and served three years with
distinction. The order is a five pointed
star, borne upon wreath In the CEN
tire of the star is a circular band con-
tanning the words in Turkish, Love of
man." Help" and Charity" 1t is in
three classes, but has always been sup
posed to be the youngest of the orders
for women, but this place belongs to
the medal of merit founded by Queen
Natalie of Servia, mother of the pres
ent King Alexander. 1t was conferred
at first only upon those women who
had nursed or given other aid to the
troops in the wars of 1876, 1877 and 1878.
1t is given in gold and silver.

men for nursing the wounded in wal
and for other acts.
This is also the case with the gold and
silver cross of merit of Austria, the or
der of the house of Ernest Of Sake Mein-
ingen, for artistic work, and the Order
of Merit of the Bavarian crown. Lately,
Prince Regent Luitpold Of Bavaria con-
ferred the gold medal Of this order upon
Sophie Kaulbach, wife of the celebra-
ted painter, for having saved young
man from drowning at the great peril
of her own life. King Humbert of Italy
also lately conferred the bravery medal
upon a woman Of Rome, Miss Piermat-
tel Gentle, aged seventeen years, who
came to the rescue of a woman at
tackled at night, and saved her from
murder at great risk to herself. There
is in Italy no order exclusively for
women.
AN EXTINCT MEXICAN ORDER,
In Bavaria there are two orders for
women. This first is the Order of st.
Elizabeth, founded in October 1866 for
distinguished women who have sixteen
noble ancestors. The other is the order
of Theresa, for unmarried women of
noble birth. Its mistress is the reign
ing queen, and in default Of queen

was left behind. The relic was recov-
cred unframed from the ruins five days
later.
In memory of this miracle" the good
lady established the Star-Cross Order.
1t was originally given only to such no
BILE women as distinguished themselves
by piety, but is now conferred for other
services. The symbol of the order is a
black enamelled double eagle, set with
red enamelled cross and with a blue
and two fine gold rings. The eagle has
about it blue enamelled gold frame.

ton, "Salus ct gloria" 1t is worn on the

the high protectoress of the order and
it's memorial is celebrated every year

also the Order of ST. Elizabeth, founded

wife should not remarry, The order
came to an end in 1856.
Although these orders are the goal Of
many strivings on the part Of women
everywhere, it must be said to their
honor that there is but one case on rec
ord of the false assumption of any of
them. This was the case Of a cook
named Godin, who wore the cross of
the Legion of Honor military and other
medals and other orders in miniature

FRENCH CIVIL SERVICE MEDAL.
One reason for their exclusion, of
course, arises from the fact that many
of the orders are given for military
service.
In the year 144S the Margrave of
Brandenburg, Frederick II, nicknamed
the Iron One established the Order
OF the Swan for women. 1t disappeared
for time, but was revived by F'reder-
lex William ~ of Prussia The chain
consists of "a links, each with
a heart upon it, just as in the olden
form. A golden rosette hangs from this
chain, bearing sun with a. double
fame and an image Of the Virgin, with
the infant Jesus upon a crescent. Under
this, in a ring, Is swan, through which
Is drawn a scarf, from each end of
which hang seven little bells by chains.
1t is all gold except the hearts.
OF the old possessors of the Order of
the Swan we know nothing. In later
times 1t is only known that it was CIV
on to Queen Elizabeth, wife of Freder-
fck William w, with the understanding
that it was to be worn by the reigning
queen OF Prussia. 1t is remarkable that
the old Empress Augusta, wife of the
grandfather of the present emperor, did
not have it among the fifteen orders
which she possessed.
THE STAR-CROSs OF AUSTRIA.
The Austrian Star-Cross Order, the
second oldest of the decorations for wo-
men, was founded on September 49, 1858,
by Empress Eleonora, wife of Emperor
Ferdinand III, and for a very peculiar
reason In February, 1868. a fierce fire
broke out in the royal residence in vi

Paris, Feb. 9.-Matinee musicales are

the fayorite ways Of entertaining in the
fashionable Partisan set. The best
voices from the opera are engaged and
everything is carried out on an elabo-

these popular musicales, and the gowns

silk and poplin gowns was remarkable.
Certainly the mos. striking up-to-Gate
gowns were made OF these materials.
BRUNETTES DRESS.
A tall slender brunette, in a gown of
pale grey bengaline poplin with broad
stripes Of violet, was much admired. The
skirt of this gown fitted close over the
hips, but fiared quite good deal at the
bottom. The fullness at the back was
disposed of in two box pleats that stood
out over quite sizable bustle, giving
the full basque of the corsage the jaunt-
lest air possible. Around the bottom

Honor for women is the fact that it was
once conferred upon a ten-year-old
American girl of Muckford, ILL.,, named
Jeanne Carey This little girl noticed
that a certain bridge was on fire, and
hastily doffing her red cape for a sig
nal, she rushed forward and stopped an
approaching train. 1t was full of pas
sengers ON the way to the Chicago ex-
position, and among them were num-
ber of French people. This led to her
decoration by President Carnot.
Among the possessors of the order in
France are some dozen Sisters of Mer-
cy. The most remarkable of these is
Sister Maria Teresa, superioress of the
Sisters of Mercy of Tonquin. She was
wounded at Balaklava, in the Crimean
war; while attending the wounded in
battle. She was also wounded on the
