WAIT FOR WEDNESDAY"
"Wait for Wednesday" was the word
passed about the Capitol to-day. and a
general understanding 10 that effect was
reached. The Republicans will not
initiate and the Democrats will not at
tempt 10 force any action on the Cuban
question until Wednesday, when the Pres
idents message will be received. with
that understanding. the Senate rests,
and the Foreign Affairs Committee to-
day took no action. 1t is said that the
committee has agreed upon a resolution,
practically the Foraker resolution, de-
claring for independence and for inter-
vention, with an amendment fixing the
responsibility for the destruction of the
Maine on Spain. The House Foreign
Affairs Committee will report. it Is pos
sib.c, resolution i'm line with the Presl-
dents recommendations. and II Is known
that efforts were made TO have both COM
mittecs agree with the Presidents wishes.
NAVAL BASE on GULF.
No decision has yet been reached by
the authorities as TO the location Of the
proposed naval base on the Gulf coast,
the matter being still under consideration
Secretary Alger has decided to recon-
mend to the President that an additional
allotment from the emergency fund be
made for the use of the Ordnance Bureau
of the army The Ordnance Department is
still lacking ammunition for the seacoast
f0rtihcations and the extra allotment
will be used for this purpose.
1t has been decided TO detain for a time
at the Chickamauga battlefield the Twen-
ty-ffth Regiment of Infantry, which Is
about 90 leave the various forts in Mon
tana for service at Key West and the
Dry Tortugas. The reason for this action
is said TO be the fact that the water sup
ply at either Of the above-named places
Is not satisfactory at present.
Chickamauga, General Miles says, is
an excellent place for the concentration
of large body Of troops, and it is be-
ieved the location has been seriously
considered by Secretary Alger, as point
for the gathering of troops In case OF
war.

ana narrow raDb0n. The sleeves ended AZ
the elbow with q double. rufhe.
The Euimpe could be removed at will
and a decollete gown would be the result.
Elbow sleeves are seen On certainly one
half the gowns for home and all sorts OF
evening wear. This dress requires but the
regulation veil, prayer book and bunch of
orange blossoms or other chosen white
flower to make it pretty enough for any
wedding, and their absence transforms it
into a dainty evening dress, which can be
either high or low In the neck.
/ NAV say In this connection that brides
maids are not dressed quite SO much like
q ePinafore'' chorus as they were. Still
nretty froeks Of light color and material
are the rule, but they are all such gowns
MS can be worn afterward at other func-
tions. Simplicity is rather preferred and
not too much color.
When we consider that q bridal toilet is
never worn but once, it appears to be a
very sensible innovation to have 1t made
no that it Will be useful for other occasions.
During q recent forenoon | spent three
hours looking at new Jackets, suits and
separsse waists. / saw one suit OF BLACK
yhipcord for q middle aged lady. The
8Klfb was coYSfSG WIFI a ncir8S1lb P.'
tern in loops and bars Of very narrow SOU
tache. Tho waist was treated in the same
way. There was a medium length cape,
also braided In the same design and bor-
dered with a five inch band of MORE astra-
khan. Across the chest this band became
wide reyers. The collar, was also faced
with the fur.
The same design was developed In black
over cadet blue and over the new cyrano
purple, which has a little of every color OF
the sinbow in it, end yet the preyailing
color is a frosty plum purple. 1t is more
becoming to women than any other shade
of purple.
There was q waist OF white taffeta, the
back and front both laid in one wide box
and two narrow side plaibs. All over the
whole surface was a zigzag design OF mar
row black velvet ribbon sewed horizontal
II. each line half an inch distant from the
other. The high rundown collar, belt
and upturned cuffs were all wrought with
the velvet ribbon.
The effect was dazzling. ! forgot to say
that on the front field were six fancy jew
eled buttons, beginning at the bust and
set in twos to the belt, where there was q
fancy clasp, and there were three buttons
sewed each side OF that.
An odd and yet pleasing idea in a jacket
was Of closely woven black cheyiot. The
jacket was finished very severely every
where with stitching only and was lined
with violet satin. There was a large roll

British omcers. attire.

The Navy and Army Illustrated says
that the wearing Of Hmuftis' by British
officers when of duty is q custom that
came in between 1890 and 1910, owing to
the foolish irritation that then possessed
the lower orders in England, at the in
stance, &c a great extent, Of political agi-
tators. in parliament and outside. against
the standing army as an institution. In
consequence, the Duke Of Wellington. then
commanders in chief at Whisehall, to keep
things quiet and the arlny as much cut Of
evidence as possible in the circumstances,
directed that all officers should wear plain
clothes when not on duty, and from that
time onward the custom has grown and
hardened into an established rule OF the
service, until nowadays to see an officer In
uniform when not on duty 10 almost q
phenomenon. The saving TO an officers

ing collar Of lynx, with one wide lapel,
which reached to the bottom and was %
arranged that the dark line Of the fur was
in the center of the lapel.
There wasa very neat and dainty blouse
waist OF slate gray ~tafeta, made extreme
" plain, with few gathers front ard back.
The sleeves were coat shape and rounded
up at the wrist with a satin fold two
shades lighter. The belt and collar were
Of self silk, with satin piping at both
edges. Down each side the front and in a
curve across the shoulders went two mar
row milliner's folds of the satin, and down
tie front there was an inch wide box
plating of the satin. The waist fastened
invisibly under this.
A couple Of elegant tailor suits mex at
tracted my attention. One WAS Of dark
brown cloth. There were five rows of
scalloped straps of the cloth stitched tailor
fashion all around the skirt. Two long
tab straps were set down the front side
seams. The short basque and sleeves were
made in the same way. A collar Of skunk
fur finished the costume. The other had
a skirt and tight position basqueo of shep-
herds check In rough oheyiot. A box
front jacket of Russian green cloth was
trimmed with black hercules braid. The
prevailing tint in the check was a soft
green.
Would you believe that fashion in the
| color of ones hair ~ebanges2 Well, 1t does.
1t is now the fashion to have dark red
hair, titan Fed, they call it. The last
vogue was for hair the color OF rye straw,
and before that golden tint became such a
favorite ashen blond was the vogue.
Whether raven tresses viii ever be the
fashion or not even the astroIogers could
not tell.
In these days it is SO easy to have hair
of any color that 1t Is no wonder Ii
changes with the moon. Formerly Ii was
a reproach TO a woman to have bleached
hair, but now 1t is almost considered wrong
for her not to have her hair made oysr

Great Municipal Household.

Mrs. arrow Presides Over
Great Municipal Household.
Az Sir John Voce Moore, London's new
lord mayor, is q widowor, the OF
presiding over the Mansion House and
wearing the title Of lady mayoress falls to
his only daughter, Mrs. King Farlow. It
is many years since London town has seen
so young and charming d lady mayoress,
for the lords mayor are usually gray hair
ed, retired merchants and their wives
portly matrons Of advanced age.
To be tho head of London IS great civic
household carries with 1t a good deal OF
responsibility and care. Most women
would be Gazed by the magnifcently liv-
cried, well fed and ultra pompous aunkies
who are part of the establishment. The
lady mayoress is called upon to preside at
many solemn and heavy municipal din
ners, and she lis expected to do it all with
a great deal OF dignity and suayity. But
Mrs. Farlow has eight brothers, and she
has been a queenly sort Of person nearly
all her life.
The new lady mayoress looks forward 10
her years official position with q good
deal Of the freshness and brightness that
50 often are the characteristics Of English
matronhood. She has four charming little
children-two boys and two girls. She
will not bring them with her into the city

Denim For TabIecloths, Etc.

For tableeloths denim is used plain,
fringed al around, with a strip Of white
corduroy laid down the center Of the Ia
BILE. Linen n be used In place of the COR
duroy If desired. The etched denim Is used
with ii white centerpieoe and sometimes
with a pale yellow one, but that depends
upon the color Of the bowls and flowers to
be used for the decoration. With the
plain blue pale yellow bowls filed with
the dark red and red brown chrysanthe-
NUNS may be used with the best effect.
The lockwood ware is exceedingly pretty
with the etched table covers. These covers
may be embroidered II desired, but the color
is rich background, and it is we'll to make
the decorations of flowers and china. A
table spread to use in a sitting room or
chamber might be embroidered with good
effect. Counterpanes and bolster covers
are made of denim, some very deliberately
ornamented, Others plain, with only a
rayeled fringe on three sides, or a white
knotted fringe Ia occasionally seen.

A Decorative Hint.

The decorative powers OF blue and whiss
china are wonderful.
Frederick Ieyland was the owner of the
famous Whistler peacock dining room, the
story Of which is well known. Whistler,
stroIling in one day while the dining room
was undergoing repairs, painted q bril-
liant peaeook's feather upon the wall and
kept On till the room was a blaze OF gor-
geousness.
LeylaSd would allow no other orna-
ment in the room except . cabinet Of blue
and white china, and, strange to say, the
contrast between the simple blue and
white aud peacock tones was at once pleas
ing and immensely striking.
Any one who has seen blue and white
plates hung against the wall of a dining
room knows how charming is the effect.

tnau IL nall sugSea5s a p~enltentlal nuns
dress. It is of ma white cashmere, fne
and close, and there Is a demitrained skirt
with one narrow row Of shirred satin rib
bon around the bottom. Above that Is q
tunfc overskirt hanging in full folds near
1y TO the bottom of the underskirt. At
the left side it is caught up in folds under
a silver chain. AT the right there is a
chatelaine bag OF white and silver, and
this catches and holds up folds OF the
tunic on that side, but fewer and lower
down than the other.
The waist is pointed in front and form
ed of surplice folds, all except a small V
at the neck, which is filled in with a shirr-
ing of crepe lisse, which is shaped up to a
very high stock, edged with a self ruffie.
The sleeves are long and faring at the
wrists, edged with crepe lisse ruffies and
draped at the top in three folds. At the
crossing on the breast is a spray Of orange
blossoms, with trailing sprays of fine
smilax.
Nothing could be p~rettier or sweeter. A
tulle veil will be worn with this. thrown
back from the face and fastened to the
hair By a knot of orange blossoms and
possibly q jewel, though the general de-
sign of this is TO preserve its delicate sim
plicity.
White cashmere, white nuns yelling,
white serge and other fine white wool
en- stuffs are very suitable for young
ladies and very much affected. There is
a sort of loosely woven stuff, and when
this Is white it has q canvas effuct, which
Is utilized by having 1t ornamented by
cross stitch, oriental and Bulgarian en-
broidery in the soft neutral colors insepa-
rable from that work. Once in awhile a
thread of gold or silver will show, and this
brightsns Il up wonderfully.
/ should say a few words more about
wedding attire. It Is understood that
when a young girl has any old point lace
to count upon she Is not only justified,
but really in duty bound. TO wear 1t on
some part Of her gown, or as a veil If it
will answer that purpose. Lace .fhanded
down from her grsat-grandmother is a
crest card to give the reporters, but half
the tisna it is handed down by q clerk III

Many young ladies. when having thsir
wedding dress made, have an eye to its
future use as an evening gown. One OF
these dresses-and a pretty one, too-was
Il ivory white groggrain silk. The skirt
was cut in two parts, the upper ms reach
ing nearly to tho knees. Around each part
at the bottom went two narrow double
puffings OF white silk null, and at each
edge was an arrangement of Gwp very mar

DR.. Garrigues contends that the statute

to thorough tests to determine absolutely
that life is extinct, is nothing short OF
homicidal, for through this criminal

there is nothing to prevent anybody from
being buried alive or frozen to death in an
