are seen in the new blues, and are tasteful when the shade Is not so vivid as to make the wearer too conspicuous. Tans, browns and dust color are not newly fashionable, but are thoroughly sensible. Black is more stylish, and less commendable from common S nse standpoint. The rig sketched here was blue denim, the skirt stitched with heavy white silk. The boldice was bloused in front and had a deep yoke of tucked white linen with a nar- row strip of the same in front. It was completed by neck band, and set of detachable collars was offered with it. A white leather belt held the waist.
 The longer skirts are hot yet very abundant because so manyt riders are still in their last years rigs, but it is reasonable to expect they will be plen- tiful by the time skirt and shirt waist make a comfortable rig. As to short waists, they are in all sorts of mate riais and sizes. There is tendency to make the tailor waist very plain, and to consider anything, plain or other wise, with which it is possible to wear linen collar, a shirt waist. The tailor waist must be worn with stiff collar and cuffs, and white is the rule for these no matter what the color of the waist. Waists of correct model should lie perfectly flat across the shoulders, whether they run into yoke at the back or not. A few scant pleats are drawn in at the waist in back. It is imperative that there should be no bag ging out below the shoulders A few of the best tailors who make special ty of outing rigs put their shirt waists on band, but many other tailors merely attach drawing string at the back, letting the string free the rest of the way around. It is tied over the waist and the fitness controlled by it.

The agreement which has finally been reached in regard to the height of the buildings to be erected in the future on Cooley square in Boston provides that the limit on the north side of the square, including the buildings between Claren- don and Dartmouth streets, shall be one hundred feet, and on the other three sides ninety feet. This prevents the erection of the proposed "sky- -scraper'' hotel on the south side of the square, immediately opposite Trinity church, which as originally planned would have had at least twice the height now fixed upon.

THE PROOF.

If the reputation of the Imperial Lawn Mower depended wholly upon printed description Gas is the case with some machnes), there might be some reason to question it; but when our sales of these mowers have more than doubled each season, 1t shows that It's reputa- tion is established. Our sales from day to day prove it's popularity. And all this in spite of seemingly high price. If you don't think you can quite stand an Imperial, we have the Yale, the Phil adelphia, and the Buckeye all first class machines, which cost less, but which have a reputation and guaran- tee back of them.

FASHION NOTES,

Ankles Dominate Wheeling Fashions.
 A very large majority of women bi- cycle riders has settled on the form of skirt that is divided in back, and de- signers have despaired of replacing this. So the only change that this sea- son has brought in wheeling skirts is in the length, which is increased and doubtless because better protection is wanted for the ankles, now that so many women are wearing low shoes without leggings. In this abandon ment of high boots and leggings and in the longer skirts lies about all the change of style there is. Many suits

Despite the war excitement, prepara- tions are already in progress at Allan ta. Georgia, for the entertainment of the Confederate veterans at their eighth annual reunion to be held in that city beginning July 20 and continuing four days. The chairman of the enter tainment committee says conservative estimates put the probable attendance at 20 0OO0 veterans, and these, with their wives, sons and daughters, will swell the total number of visitors to from 30.000 to 50,000 per day during the re- union. A large entertainment fund has already been subscribed, and Atlanta proposes to maintain it's reputation for hospitality. "There is no question:" says the Constitution, about the re- union being great success. Instead of being affected adversely by the war, the attendance will be larger.

The legend is that one day the stone was brought by toad into the room of the wife of the Elector John of Branden- berg and deposited on her bed. Fred erick the Greats father had it mount ed as a ring and bequeathed it to his son, who believed firmly in it's value as 8 talisman and many of the documents of that time deposited in the archives at Berlin make allusions to it.

SINGULAR STATEMENT.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink
East Susquehanna Ave-, Philadelphia,

lief from utter encouragement. She

to shank you for what Lydia e. Pink

ing any improvement. At times I

times was miserable. So it went on
until last October, felt something
terrible creeping over me, knew not
what, but kept getting worse. L can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. i was so depressed in spirits
that did not wish TO live, although I
had everything to live for. Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left
alone
Indeed, thought would lose my

The blockade Extended.

Washington: The President has is
sued proclamation extending the
blockade of Cuba to the southern coast
from Cape Frances to Cape Cruz inclu-
sive, and also blockading San Juan,
Porto Rico. Neutral vessels, lying in
any of the ports TO which the blockade
is by the present proclamation ex-
tended, will be allowed 30 days to is
sue therefrom with cargo.
The blockade of San Juan proclaimed
is reality, having been initiated by
Capt. Sigsbee last week, when he
turned back a British steamer laden
with supplies.
The President thus gave notice of
blockading about 500 miles of Cuban
coast line in addition to the sections
already blockaded. The blockade has
been confined heretofore to a little
more than 100 miles on the north and
the single port of Cienfuegos on the
south coast. The new blockaded coast
line lies entirely within the great blight
on the south Cuban coast, in which the
water is generally very shallow and
the ports are few into which vessel
of any draft could enter. The object
of blockading that coast is to cut off
supplies which have been reaching
Havana through points on that coast.
The vessels for the additional block
AIDE service will be supplied almost en-
tirely from the patrol fleet which has
been guarding the north Atlantic coast.

THE WAR SITUATION.

The Spaniards have planted dyna-
mite mines in every road into Santiago.
The British Glosiap and East Lothian
have sailed from Philadelphia with
6,000 tons of coal for Admiral Dewey.
\ military telegraph station has been
established at Sevilla, thus bringing
Gen. Shafter into direct communica-
tion with the war department.
While oiling the machinery in the
Delta Lumber Co.'S mill at Detroit,
Anthony Lawrence was caught by the
betting of large fiy-wheel and was
torn to pieces instantly between the
fy-wheel and stanchion post.
The road over which ordinance and
supplies must be brought to Santiago
is over steep hills densely lined by un-
derbrush. But very little danger is
apprehended of a flank attack, and it
is evident Gen. Linares is acting strictly
on the defensive
While on blockade duty off the south
coast of Cuba the auxiliary cruiser
Yankee captured five sloops carrying
supplies from the Isle of Pines to Bat
abano. evidently for shipment to Hav-
ana. The crews were put ashore and
the sloops were burned.
Cuban spy who was recently in
Santiago says reign of terror exists
among all classes there owing to the
nightly attacks of the Vesuvius with
the terrible explosion of her dynamite
shells. He says that over 100 Spanish,
including a high officer were killed in
the battle with the rough riders.
The war department is completing
arrangements for furnishing beef and
other supplies for the army and starv-
ing Cubans. Supply ships will make
trips to Cuban points about every 10
days. The sum of 81, 900, 900 has been
placed at the disposal of the commits
sary department for this purpose.

Rumor That a Scheme Is on Foot To
Proclaim the Independence OF the
Philippine Islands Under the Protection
OF the European Powers.

The navy department has received
dispatches from Admiral Dewey which
intimate that Aguinaldo. leader OF the
insurgents at Manila, is in communi-
cation with emissaries of Germany and
that a scheme is on foot TO proclaim
the independence Of the Philippine
islands under guarantee of the Euro
pean powers.
The theory is advanced, however,
that the shrewd rebel leader, who has
up to this time manifested the greatest
regard for the United States and inn
plicitly followed the advice OF Admiral
Dewey. Is simply playing with the Ger
man representatives in order to discoV-
err their intentions.
