The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1898-04-25

Washington, April 25.-A resolution
formally declaring war against Spain
was introduced in the congress Of the
United States today. The decision to do
so was reached after mature delibera-
tion, in order to safeguard the interests
of the United States. All the argu-
ments pro and con were discussed yes
terday afternoon at the White House,
at a conference at which President Nc
Kinley, Attorney General Griggs, As
sistant Secretary Day and Senators
Davis and Hale participated, and on its
breaking up announcement was made
that congress would be asked to de-
clare what it is held already exists. This
was the most important Washington
development on the first war Sunday.
The president sent a message to con-
gress today setting forth the facts in
the case, and asking congress to for
mally declare war In order that there
may be no misunderstanding on the
part of other nations. The most i'm
portant point in the message is the an
nouncement that Spain has made for
NAL reply to our ultimatum. The docu-
ment is a formal acknowledgment by
Spain and also an acceptance by that
country of the ultimatum as a virtual
declaration of war. Congress is there
fore asked to recognize this condition
of affairs, and to declare 1t TO the
world, using Spains concession as a
reason for It, The resolution will prob
ably be rushed through both houses to-
day

THE OREGON.

The Navy Department Has Not Heard
From the BattIeship.
Special to EVENING HERALD.
Washington, April 25.-Despite reports to
the contrary the Navy Department has not
heard from the battleship Oregon since she
left Gallo on April s, and does not expect to
hear anything from her and her consort, the
Marietta, until she reaches Montevedio,
where she will take on coal There is reason
to believe, however, that her next port will
be Rio de Janeiro
If the Spanish fleet should leave St. Vim
cent before the Oregon and Marietta get to
Rio, as now seems likely, United States
vessels will possibly be sent to meet the
battleship and gunboat and proceed with
them to home waters.

-
The House passed the bill, in quick order,
one minute and forty-one seconds.
The friends of the Administration express
themselves as well pleased with this action
in so promptly endorsing the President.
If Spain adopts the policy announced
by this government, that the neutral
flag protects the goods, if the vessel
and its conduct are neutral, only con-
traband goods i'm such ships are sub
ject to capture. OF course all merchant
ships must respect an effective block
ade on the penalty of capture and con-
fiscation."
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt today

purchased the steam Yacht Allen for
the auxiliary navy. This vessel, like so
many others that have been acquired
is of light draught and excellently fit
ted for patrol duty i'm shallow waters

port is New York,

been received of the movements of the
Spanish fleets rendezvouzed at Cadiz

Every step taken by these fleets is
promptly reported TO the department
by the agents abroad. one officer ex-
planned that 1t was very necessary to
receive with the greatest caution re-
ports of the movements of the Span
ish ships, as Spain naturally win try in
every way to mIslead the United States.

AN ALARMING REPORT.

The Drink Habit Said to Be Increasing
Among the Women of New York.
It Is said that the drink habit is rap
idly increasing among the women Of
New York city. "'straws show which
way the wind blows" Is an old but
true saying, and there's a whole bale
of straws pointing that way. One has
only to watch the women in any fash
ionable restaurant to see that they get
about as much comfort out of the in
ebriating cup as men are supposed to
do. Then many a woman nowadays
owns her individual flask of dainty
glass and precious metal, and she keeps
it full, too, or, to be more strictly ac-
curate, she generally keeps it empty
Some women 60 so far as to wear a
flask attached to Chatelaine, and such
should not find it in their hearts to
scold the man who carries his private
bottle in his hip pocket. According to
a German doctor, women who have
contracted a iondness for liquids
stronger than afternoon tea can easily
cure themselves .1f the taste. His rem
edy is eating apples at every meal and
between times. He says that apples, il
eaten in large qr antilles, possess prop
critics which entirely eliminate the
craving that all confirmed 'drunkards
have for drink. This treatment should
appeal to women, for apples, if per-
sistently taken the year round, will
make the complexion beautiful, while
any connection With the slightest sus
picion Of alcohol in it has the opposite

The Use of a Good Memory to Initiate
Fine Ints.
The people who exclaim against the
high price Of really good millinery
can, think, have very little idea of the
amount of thought, time and labor
which is expended upon it's production,
remarked the manager of famous es-
tablishment to the writer.
To begin with, there is the design to
be made, and, in connection with this, I
may tell you, we employ large num-
Der of skilled artists, who do nothing
else but draw designs for new bonnets
and hats, and they make a very hand
some income out of it. Then comes the
question of making and trimming, the
latter especially being an art which re-
quires not only skill, but great fertili-
ty of imagination and perfect taste, and
SO rare is this combination of abilities
that huge salaries have to be paid to
such as possess it. The value of the
actual materials uced is very small
when compared with these two former
items.
But this, Of course, is far too expen-
sive procedure for second-rate firms,
who, instead, employ the services Of
pirate" hose duty it is to copy the
designs Of other firms, by fair means or
foul. This is generally achieved by
keeping sharp eye on the windows of
the first-class houses, and sketchinC ev-
erything new displayed there, the
drawing being accompanied by descrip-
make a constant practice OF sending a
pirate" over to Paris every month, in
order to obtain the latest modes in
this way, and week never passes
without our own windows receiving
this unwelcome compliment.
The best "milliners' pirates" are wo-
men, those with very retentive men,
DRY and an ability to draw. We are
completely at the mercy of such, be-
cause they can get past the windows,
and in the guise Of customer see our
entire stock. There is one woman in
London now who must be making
fortune in this way. She is always
very stylishly dressed, and is to all ap-
pearances very great lady. She
makes few small purchases, and then

without having seen anything to

concerned, for the assistants have strict
orders not to show her quite the latest
