at sides and back. As far as the cord, the skirt fits like any other, only per- haps a little closer, but from the cord down the skirt is always finished by a bias piece. Now and then fringe or little fiounce is set on at the cord, giE- ing the effect of an over dress just overlapping an underskirt. It is sure to come, the ovnrdress is. Let's hold 1t off as long as we can, but this season we simply must submit far enough to pretend we are wearing it, it being stylish to make it quite clear that it is only a pretence.
 In the styIishly simple looking dress that the artist puts here the skirt was saved from plainness by an entirely novel arrangement of black satin folds that the picture fully explains. It was rendered especially conspicuous from the fact that the dress goods was white cashmere. In all the bodice but the sleeves and single rever, the goods was tucked, satin folds edging collar and overlapping front. The belt was black satin.
 Princess effects are to prevail, many of the new cloth gowns and some of the silk ones settle that, though the princess is often only in effect. For instance, a gown of pale violet nuns s yelling was trimmed from throat to skirt hem with bands of the same ma terial fastened down on one edge, the other edge being scalloped. The seal | loped edges were set towards each other, and came close together at | throat and waist, and from there wid- ened to the hem. The result had the | look of redingote worn over an un-
 der dress to match, but the affair was
 all one. FLORETTE.

When I Was a Boy,

Up in the attic where l slept
 When I was boy a little boy, In through the lattice the moonlight crept Bringing tide of dreams that swept Over the low, red trunde bed, Bathing the tangled curly head, While the moonbeams played at hide-and-
 seek
 With the dimples on the sun-browned
 check
 When I was boy, little boy, And, oh! the dreams-the dreams dream
 ed
 When I was boy, little boy, For the grace that through the lattice
 streamed Over my folded eyelids seemed To have the gift of prophecy, And to bring me glimpses of times to he When manhood's clarion seemed to call An. that was the sweetest dream of all,
 When I was boy, little boy! I'd like to sleep where l used to sleep
 When I was q boy, little boy! For in at the lattice the moon would peep. Bringing her tide of dreams to sweep The crosses and griefs of the years away From the heart that is weary and faint to-day;
 And those dreams should give me back again
 peace have never known since then
 When l was a boy, little boy! Eugene Field.

4 WORTHY RIVAL.

New Haven has it's Chamber of Commerce and Washington it's Board of Trade, and it is only fair to say that the Chamber of Commerce of this city good than Washington's Board of Trade is in behalf of Washington's good Among the projects which Wash ington's Board of Trade advocates and which it is pressing upon Congress are a municipal building, the reclamation of the Anacostia flats, an increased water supply, free circulating library, street extension legislation, compre- hensive sewer system, increased police force and fire department, public school buildings for manual training, public baths, play-grounds and open air gymnasiums. In fact, as President Woodward says, the Board of Trade proposes to lead in all matters per- taining to the wellbeing of the Dis- trict of Columbia, and it will not cease to labor until the coming of the local millennium, when every want will have been supplied and when municipal equipment is so complete as to leave nothing more to be desired"
 New Haven's Chamber can be trust ed not to fall behind the procession, but it has a worthy rival in the Wash ington Board.

AN ENTERTAINING YOUNG WOMAN.

There has been so much excitement lately that little attention has been paid to the interesting lawsuit which is going on in Kingston, New York. It will be remembered that a Kingston physician was summoned to attend a young woman who was suffering with a throat affection which interfered with her regular work as dramatic reader. After treating the case for week and effecting a cure, the doctor presented a bill for $50 ''for profession al services The patient received it graciously and with most winning smile handed the physician a counter bill for S100, also flor professional ser vices" The young woman added that an early payment of the balance in her favor would be appreciated, as her hotel bill was due. As soon as the as- tonished practitioner could recover his speech he politely asked for detailed statement, and was informed that the $100 charge had been made for "enter- taining him. during his professional calls. The doctor offered to offset the claims and "call the whole matter square" but the young woman stern ly refused to compromise and has brought suit for the $50 balance Ad- vices from Kingston say that "the case
 will be fought to the bitter end,' and that eminent legal talent has been re- tained."
 Of course nobody call tell what will happen in court, but they do say that a part of the entertainment" furnish ed the doctor was the reciting of Cur few shall not ring tonight If that is fact there is no doubt as to what the verdict ought to be.

 A Wayne circuit jury was being empanelled to try suit against a street railway company for personal damages, and an attorney was examin- ing the panel as to competency to sit. What is your business?" he asked of a jolly German.
 'Sausagemaker, but my name is not Luetgert,' was the reply that put everybody in good humcr.
 Have you any prejudices against street railways?'
 'No, haf no prejudice against dem, but don't like dem."
 Why? Have they ever done you any harm?"
 "Oh, dey don't neffer vas run ofer me, but dey was all der time reaching out so" and the juror extended his hands, and clutched about in the at mosphere with his fingers.
 Do you think that your feeling against street railway companies is so strong that it might influence your verdict in this case?''
 'Oh, no, would do what is right" Would you believe the testimony of a motorman as soon as you would that of the plaintiff?" "Well, wouldn't belief eder of den unless somebody else said so, too.'' Suppose the testimony was evenly balanced just as strong on one sidt as the other; would your verdict bt for the plaintiff or the defendant?' "In dot case I wouldn't give a verdic' for neder of dem" Even his honor joined in the laugf that followed, and the juror was ex | cused for cause Detroit Journal.

Georgia has a new prison law which 1t hopes will abate some of the evils of its convict system, which in recent years have made it reproach all over the world. Under the present lease, soon to expire, the State receives $25,- poo a year for it's convicts. It is ex- pected that under the new ordinance it will receive from $75,0O0 to $100,0OO. The prisoners number, all told, two thousand, but under the new system the women, boys, girls and incapables are to be put on a farm and cared for by the State, only the able-bodied be- ing leased out to labor, and these being in the care of guards appointed by the State. It is expected that, with compe- tent commissioners, there will be no convict camp scandals, and the new Appointees have gone about their work with such intelligence and earnestness Rs to lead to the belief that the people of Georgia will not soon again be an- moved by the charge that the States convicts are treated cruelty.

An interesting study of the negro in cities has been made under the aus- pices of Atlanta University, an institu- tion for the instruction of colored youth. The mortality statistics in five cities, Atlanta, Baltimore, Charleston, Memphis and Richmond, for a period of fifteen years have been examined, and from these it is found that the death rate among the blacks is very much greater than among the whites. In the cities mentioned during the decade and a half ending in 1895 the average white mortality was twenty-one per thou sand, while that of the blacks was thir- ty-six. In other words, the negro death rate was nearly seventy-four per cent. in excess. The reasons assigned by the colored Investigators of these condi- tions themselves are interesting. Few of the negroes in the cities, they say, gre herded together in one-room tene- inents, but the proportion of idle men among the blacks is very large, and the result is that the women have to leave their homes and work outside, and the children therefore suffer from neglect Moreover, there is widespread ignor- ance as to hygienic laws

Captain &. G.. Hunting, Regimental
Chaplain, having signed resolution
to the effect Of having lost confidence
in the justice and integrity of the
Commander in Chief and the Regi-
mental Commander, and joined with
others in efforts to destroy discipline
in the militia. and having made eff
forts to rent for one year the hall at
present occupied by Battery A;
whereby in case the Battery is con-
tinued in service it would be unable
to obtain an armory, and lacking the
courtesy to have rendered his resig-
nation before taking such action; he
is hereby dismissed from the Staff of
the First Regiment, N. N. G., and his
commission annulled.
The effort to obstruct the continu-
ance OF Battery A. in service by Sc
curing their armory, at this time
when foreign war is probable. is an
act OF torylsm that should receive the
condemnation OF every man owing his

honorable offense known to military

SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A SIMPLE. HARMLESS. REMEDY.

Yet it Cures tho Worst Cases OF Dys-
pepsiH and Indigestion.
DR.. Jennison. who has made a life
study Of stomach troubles, says: All
forms Of indigestion really amount
to the came thing, that ls, failure to
completely digest the food eaten; no
matter whether the trouble is acid
dyspepsia or sour stomach, belchmg
OF wind, nervous dyspepsia or loss of
flesh and appetite; person will not
have any Of them if the stomach can
be induced by any natural. harmless
way to thoroughly digest what is
eaten, and this can be done by sim
pie remedy which I have tested in
hundreds Of aggravated cases with
complete success. The remedy is
combination of fruit and vegetable
essences, pure asceptic pepsin and
golden seal put up in the form of
pleasant tasting tablets and sold by
druggists under the name of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. One or two of
these tablets should be taken after
meals and allowed to dissolve in the
mouth and minglipg with the food in
the stomach, digests it completely
before it has time to ferment, decay
and sour.
On actual experiment one grain of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will di-
gest three thousand grains of meat,
eggs and similar wholesome foods.
1t is safe to say if this wholesome
remedy was better known by people
generally, it would be a national
blessing, as we are nation of dys-
peptics and nine-tenths of all dis
eases owe their origin to imperfect
digestion and nutrition.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not
a secret patent medicine, but fifty
cent package will do more real good
for weak stomach than fifty dollars
worth OF patent medicines and a per-
son has the satisfaction Of knowing
just what he is putting into his stom-
acn, which he does not know. when
widely advertised patent medicines
are used.

STA Tablets, full sized packages,
