APRIL AS A WAR MONTH.

1t is a remarkable coincidence,
says an exchange, revealed through
historical facts, that the month of
April is the war month of our coun.
try. During other months Of the
year we have had war and rumors of
war, but, strange as il may seem, they
generally found their beginning and
oftimes their euding during the month
of April. The war for American in.
dependence had its beginning on the
battle6elds of Lexington and Con.

fuller than usual and fitted with espe-
cial care about the hips, since any fault
of cut there would interfere with the
set of the outer skirt.
These bright inner skirts make a fine
contrast with outer demurity, though
what with the liking for trimmed skirts
and for gay colors for plain ones, there
is often enough no demurity outside or
in. But plain skirts are still many,
though there is a noticeable increase in
them of goods of large figures. Big
plaids, the sort of which detractors
speak as horse blanket plaids, are IA
vored for plain skirts, though happily
the accompanying bodice is rarely of
the same stuff. A swagger street rig
of this sort is shown herewith. A light
weight beige wooden stuff plaided with
green, pink and blue was in its skirt
and the jacket bodice was dark blue
cloth. Its short basque was cut into
points in front and was ornamented
with buttons and cord loops. These,
in larger size, were repeated on the
fronts, which opened over vest of
white silk yelled with a very ornate ja-
bot Of cream Valencienne. Cord and
button trimming also appeared on the
epaulettes. FLORETTE.

Our friends in England are much
pleased by what happened at Manila,
and they are saying some very friendly
things. And it is we'll to remember
now and hereafter that English friend
illness toward us hasn't been all talk.
England's refusal to join the represent
atives of the other powers in a vigor-
Gus representation to the United States
just prior to the passage Of the Cuban
resolutions prevented our action from
being hampered by the powers inter-
ference. Great Britain declared neu-
trality Immediately after the Spaniards
had dismissed Minister Woodford and
thus set the example for other nations,
cut the Spaniards off from coal supplies
and checked any tendency for joint ac-
ton by the powers. Great Britain re-
fused last week to join in naval dem
onstration in the West Indies which
was alleged to be intended to show
Spain and the United States that the
views of the powers were not to he
overlooked, but which was really to be
a warning to the United States alone,
And it is understood that assurances
have been given the American ambas-
sador to Great Britain, unofficial in
character, but indicative of the purpose
of the British government, that if any
European nation or nations try to limit
the money value or territorial extent
of Americas compensations' for the
war with Spain, Great Britain will
openly ''stand up for u.s..
Blood is thicker than water this time,
sure enough.

WHERE ARE TIL Ely?

The Spaniards don't seem to be anx-
ious to find the ships and armies of the
United States. For weeks there have
been rumors of Spanish cruisers all
over the world until the seas seemed to
be as thiclzly dotted with them as an
archipelago on a small map Is with ISL
ands. The Spanish squadrons were go
ing to blow up New York, Boston, New
Haven and other first-class places.
They were going to clean out the flying
squadron of the United States and the
other squadron that was blockadlng
Cuba. They were going to capture all
the American ships in the Mediterra-
mean. They were going to get the Par
is and the Oregon. And most alarming
of all, they were going to meet Com
modore Dewey on his way from Hong
Kong to Manila, and blow him and his
ships sky high.
So far the run1ors and the alarms
have not been justified. Spanish war
ships looking for trouble are as scarce
as hens teeth. 1t seems to be clear
that if the United States expects to
have trouble with any of the Spanish
warships it must find them and then
make them fight. Commodore Dewey
found some, and there Is now an op-
portunity to look at their remains. Adj
n1iral Sampson is looking for some, and
though he has not had much luck in his
search SO far he is persevering and may
find some, even if he has to go a long
distance to do it.
There must be severe struggle in
these days between the boosted Span
ish valor and Spanish prudence. Up
to date the prudence seems to be hav-
ing the best of it. If the mountain will
not go to Mahomet Mahomet must go
to the mountain, and there are indica-
lions that he is about to start.

his handkerchief for the day (never

What stuck me most in his personal
appearance was that he was too broad
for his height. He would have been
very fine man indeed had he only been
four inches taller. I should he was
about five feet nine or en-; but he looks
less, partly on account of his extreme
breadth, and partly because he is SO
much crippled with govt. His black,
bushy beard, heavy eyebrows, and
bright color on an olive complexion
have been described by every one that
has written about him. His courtesy
and the kindness with which he bids
