Battle Flags From Manila Have Been
Received at the Navy Department.
Two valuable souvenirs of the CAP
.ure of Manila have been received at
.he Navy Department at Washington
rom Admiral Dewey. One is ''the Off
ciai flag of Manila, seWed to which is
linen memorandum reciting that the
dag was "hauled down August Is, 1898,
Signal Boys Stanton and Ferguson,
from the flagship Olympia, after the
surrender of the city to the combined
naval and military forces OF the United
States.
The other souvenir was the flag OF
the Spanish armed transport, Cebu
captured at Manila August Is, 1885,
These flags were turned over to the
chief clerk of the Navy Department for
transmission to the Naval Academy
where all such trophies of the Ameri-
can navy are stored and displayed. I'm
der the law, all battle flags captured by
the naval forces of the United States
are to be kept at place designated by
the President of the United States, and
in almost every instance, before and
since the Civil war, the Naval Academy
at Annapolis has been selected as such
depository, and the usual course has
been followed in the case of battle flags
captured by the navy in the war with
Spain.

A PARIS GOWN.

a Creation" Always Most Carefully
Developed.
The Paris gown, that bursts full
blown on the eye of the client, is not,
as the public believes, says Scribner S,
a creation of the great drsssmaker him
self, nor is the great dressmaker re-
Eponsible for the fashion. This model
gown is the result of an almost infinite
collaboration. Up in the garrets OF the
criss-cross streets live a modest class
of artists that make projects. They get
their inspiration from old portraits at
he Louvre, at Versailles, from elegant
women in the driveways Of the Bots,
or from some hazard. They modify,
develop, combine, following a drift
which they do not control, till they
have produced a novel idea that the
public is likely to accept, and that is
therefore sa1able. Their projects are
fixed in sketches, and they are known
as marchandS de croquis. Others OF
these specialists make up their prof.
ects in cloth, and are known as mar
chan6s de noodles. These occupy a
more important rank than the first,
since the modes form a demonstration
that the ideas can be realized. The
model merchant is in relation with the
manufacturers; who provide her with
the new materials they have imagined,
and whose interest it is to have their
truck" presented to the great dress
market.
