be daintily feminine or tailored in their finishings. It is cashmere model gown that is seen in to-day's picture, one of the sort whose ornamentation went beyond swagger trimness. On the skirt was Spanish flounce tucked three times at the hem and headed with band of white embroidered gui- pure. The blouse waist had plain back tucked bias fronts and tucked sleeves finished with a turned back tucked white satin cuff edged with a pleated ruffie. The vest was white satin, and the cashmere fronts were edged with a pleated ruffle and trimmed with bands of embroidered lace similar to that on the skirt. Tucked satin with a pleated edging was employed In the deep collar.
 Whether the cashmere model gown be tailored or not, its weave may be counted on to be wondrous flne Even so, the goods often does not cost so much as the trimming, this, too, with tailor rigs. In such suits for fall braiding, machine stitching, ribboning, and so on, are more important features than ever. Frogging not only appears about the front of the bodice, where we are accustomed to see it, but trimming of the same sort is used all over a costume. A skirt of scarlet cashmere was set close with rows of black sou tache braid. The edges of the rows touched around the waist, and from there separated as they extended to- wards the hem of the gown in points. Alternate straps were short, reaching to the knees, the others touching the hem. Each strap was finished in a point and held down by a button. Such skirt is dreadfully heavy, but is stun ming. The waist was frogged across the front, the rows of braid at the side being arranged perpendicularly to match the skirt. The back of the bod ice showed rows touching at the waist and spreading to the shoulders. This will give an idea of the amount of la bor spent on the braiding of a gown.

THE BRAYE AND TIE FsIB.

Some of the rewards of valor are very encouraging. When that lovely and glorious maid pranced up to Lieu tenant Hobson and asked him if she might kiss him and then did kiss him he was right glad he was brave enough to deserve the fair. And the exper- fence of B. H. Engelke, of the Seventy first New York, also shows what can be done. MT. Engelke went home to Tarrytown on furlough the other day. While walking on Washington street he met Mrs. McHavey, who was so overcome with patriotic emotion on seeing the gallant soldier from santia- go that she threw her arms around him. hugged and kissed him." This thrilling experience was duplicated and intensified soon after when he met Miss Bettie Tompkins, who is describ- ed as "one of Tarrytown's belles." She went up to him on Main street, gave him good squeeze and kissed him squarely on the lips"

VITO KILLED COCK R0BINq

Christopher Columbus is bearing very
 patiently the blame put upon him by
 the Spaniards for making the Yanko-
 Spanko war possible, but they are not content with giving him fits.'' It has been discovered that the Freemasons in this country, in Spain and in the West Indies conspired for the undoing of Spain. Tiempo, a Spanish journal published in the City of Mexico, says so. Not alone was the war the result of a Masonic conspiracy, in the opinion of this Spanish journal, but the surren- der of Spain was caused by Masonic agreement. It says 'The Sagasta cabinet, from the premier to the lowest officials, are all Masons. They are all, all Masons, and the government is con- pletely undermined by this accursed so- ciety. Poor, unfortunate Spain! To what depth have liberalism and Free masonry sunk thee! And thou, Mexico our poor country, prepare thysef to suf- fer the consequences of the triumph of the insolent, aggressive and ambitious Yankee!"
 The Revista Anti Massonica, of Barce- Iona, speaks as follows: Instead of
 this destructive war being caused by
 clericals, it was brought on by the com bination of Masonic lodges in Spain and her two colonies, Cuba and the Philip pines, in union with the lodges of North America. But is it possible? some may
 ask; is it possible that Spaniards could be found who are so unpa triotic as to become accomplices in the utter ruin of their own country? It is quite possi-
 ble For the Masons their lodge is the sect. To obey this sect, country is ig- nored without scruple." LAutorite, a Paris journal, goes even further and intimates that Deweys victory and Sampson's victory and the surrender
 at Santiago were made easy by Masonic
 commanders who wanted the Yankees to win It says of General Pando: "He
 bears in the lodge the symbolical name 'Sr D. Jesu Christo very good emis-
 sary to persecute the church. He can-
 not be otherwise than a traitor to the country he professes to serve, as he un- doubtedly is to the people and the re- iigion of that country.'
 A Spanish paper published at Ha- vana takes practically the same view and declares that Spain would not have
 been whipped except through her be-
 trayal by her own Masons in conspir-
 acy with the lodges of the United States. There are," it says, eighty
 Masonic lodges in Havana alone, and the Order of Odd Fellows, a sect hav-
 ing intimate relations with Masonry
 has many and intimate ramifications
 throughout all the Spanish possessions.
 Besides the Masons in Havana there
 are a number of female lodges known
 as Sisters of Rebecca.'"
 This is luminous theory. But
 where does the Improved Order of Red
 Men come in?

carriage stone on a sidewalk may not, it appears, be a nuisance, even when a man falls over it. Francis V.

The stone was in front of the res idence of Sarah H. Powell and Robert brought suit to recover damages. The
 evidence showed that the stone had been put there by her nine years be- fore, and was in use during all that time. No license for it had ever been obtained from the city.

If people are more full of prunes than they used to be there Is reason for it. The prune industry in California has had remarkable growth in the last decade. In 1883 there were about Il ,000 acres of bearing prune trees, and about 6,OOO acres more of young prune orchards. Between 1890 and 1894 about Al GOO acres of prune orchards were planted. Since then the growth has proceeded in lesser degree. but the total bearing area is now estimated at 55,OOO acres. with 10000 more to come into bearing within the next year or two.

Some interesting experiments bearing on the conductivity of lightning con- ductors have been made by Professor Koch. He formed chain several yards long with links of iron oxide, and placed it in circuit with two accumulator cells and a galvanometer, the chain being in a room thirty yards from the galvano- meter. When spark was discharged in the vicinity of the chain, the devia- tion of, the galvanometer showed that the resistance of the circuit was re- duced to one-thousandth of it's normal value, and in a second experiment the resistance fell to one ten- n-thoUsandth of the normal. From these experiments Professor Koch finds an explanation why lightning conductors with poor conductivity are nevertheless effective in thunderstorms. The oscillations pro- duced provoke an enormous reduction of resistance at the proper instant to facilitate the flow of current through the conductor.

The state of the streets in Constanti- nople is just now attracting a good deal of attention. The German em- peror's projected visit has made the Turk realize that his capital, for the most part, at any rate, is very dirty, squalid and slovenly city. Accordingly he is laying out temporary gardens around deserted mosques; new pave ment is occupying the place of broken and even dangerous roads, while the painters brush is busily at work throw ing glamour of brightness and clean Illness over much that is shabby and un- lovely. This sudden reform, however, is not likely to last, and the Turkish capital will probably fall into the old state of neglect as soon as it's imperial guests have taken their departure.

 It is confidently stated that the cZar contemplates great reforms within his empire. These reforms are in three diff ferent directions: First, regarding the laws which regulate the press; second, measure dealing with elementary schools, which will increase the number of these establishments in hitherto neg lected districts, and third, compre- hensive measure of relief to the relig- ious dissenters throughout the empire, which will enable these bodies to hold their services without the restraints at present imposed upon them.

THE COLLAPSE OF A BOOM.

All is not gold that giitters, and the
Klondike doesn't even glitter nova
days. The report Of Consul Abraham
Smith of Victoria, B. c., is picturesque
in the manner 1t recounts the faded
glories of the Klondike. At one time
there were not~vessels enough to give
passage to the. gold-seekers. Every
kind of shaky old hulk secured, at
high rates, passengers, who crowded
and paid big sums for the uncomfort-
able privilege. Now, says Consul Abb
raham Smith, they cannot secure pas
sengers enough even at reduced rates
to pay expenses. The vast crowds dur
ing January and February caused sew
eral vessels to be leased at rates vary
| ing from s400 to $500 day for the sea-
son, but since March / several of these
have been withdrawn, the lessees find
| ing it less disastrous to let them lie idle
than to run them with scarcely enough
passengers and freight to pay for the
coal consumed. The demand for min
ers' licenses at the custom house in
Victoria has dropped from an average
| of 200 per day sometimes even reach

| than so per day. The same great fall
ing off is shown at all points where Ii

States consulate in regard to the Klon-
dixie has almost entirely fallen off, and

or assistance, have also dropped to a
very small number.
Sic transit. Who would have thought
a year ago that by this time the Klon-
dixie would be almost forgotten?

A NEW TERROR.

Those ingenious Spaniards are now
trying to throw new scare into us.
They have slyly and impressively let
loose the story that they have "a new
explosive that has more power in it
than anything else that ever exploded.
Moreover, this new explosive Is fired
from a gun that has a greater range
than any of the most modern guns.
This is indeed terrifying news. So
powerful is this new Spanish explosive
and so great is the distance it can be
sent by the new Spanish gun that we
don't seem to have anything that will
match it. There is, however, a sure
way of escape. That is to get right in
front of the Spanish gunners when
they are firing the new gun with the
new charge. Then there will be no
danger of getting hit even by acct
dent.
