Sand natural as in the described over dress they are becoming and pretty, but very soon they will be held in place by tapes. Then the over dress will be ugly and women will wish they had never allowed 1t in even it's prettiest first simplicity.
 It is still possible to have very stylish skirt without surrendering to the over-dress, and this while admit ting, as everyone must by now, that a skirt to be fashionable must be more or less elaborate. The model pictured here accomplished this and in a novel way. It's material was lavender surah lavender and white plaid taffeta fur nished yoke and the trimming near the hem, and waving bias folds gave fur ther trimming. On the bodice were a tucked white yoke and undulating folds, the latter set off by lace. This dress is one in which the bodice trimming belt, and insomuch is right in line with the present styles, though it is but a little while since it was the advanced set who wer echoing their bodice or namentation in their skirts.
 Bags suspended from the belt are in revival and are welcome In such the purse, the card-case and perhaps a handkerchief and a pair of gloves may be carried, but not more than this They are made very flat and 1t is di- rected severely that they must not be stuffed, for if the fatness of their out line is lost they are no longer in good form.

Toda Uwanawitch, a gypsy, who has just been granted a Chicago di- vorce from her husband Stanislaus, because of intolerable cruelty, is said to be the first gypsy who ever applied for a legal separation. She proved that her husband kept her chained to his performing bear though she was queen of her tribe. At the same time that she lost her husband she lost her crown, and considered herself well rid of both.

Most people can afford to be interest ed in some statements contained in the latest report of the Boston board of health, wherein it is set forth that the examinations made under the law re- lating to the inspection of gas pipes and fixtures, for the purpose of devel- oping facts as to the extent of existing gas leaks in the average dwelling in this city, showed that leaks of more or less serious character were discover ed in no less than S9 per cent. of the dwellings examined. It also stated in this report that gas leaks are not only much more numerous, but furnish a source of greater injury to health than the leaks from the waste pipes and drains.

Never since the terrible catastrophe at the Ring theater have the offices been crowded by so many thousands of su- perstititous speculators. The age of the departed tatesman-S4-was, of course, the favorite number, but it soon became impossible to get even the frac- tion of a ticket.

The British War office has received applications from George c. Smith, an inventor at Cardiff, who proposes to furnish an electric gun. This inven- tion, MT Smith claims, is the most de- structive agency in battle yet devised. He believes that by means of the cleo trio gun he can blow up man-of war, a fleet of warships or even a whole navy if it comes within range of 15 or 20 miles. A fort, submarine mine, or any place containing explosives, is just as vulnerable to the electric gun. It matters not how thick the armor may be, MT. Smith is convinced that it cannot be made proof against elec- tricity. The use he makes of the cleo tric gun is to discharge simultaneously all the ammunition, powder and shells contained in the ship or fort attacked Thus being set off by the electrical contact the ammunition forces of the ships prove her own destruction. She collapses, rent into fragments, by the explosion.

QUITE ANOTHER STORY.
Which Says That Our Troops Will Not
Be Sent Until Sampson Has
Swept the Spanish Fleet

~ ~
From Cuban Waters.
Tampa, Fla, May S.-Capt. ]. II.
Miley. senior aide to Major General
Shafter. left Tampa very quietly last
night for Washington. and tomorrow
will report to General Miles. Captain
Milcy's visit to Washington has al i'm
pOrtant bearing on the future course ol
events here, as It is said on good AN
thority. he bears with him the report
of Captain j. III. Dorst, as to the results
of the l%attcr'S meeting last week with
General DelgadO of the Cuban inSur-
gents near Havana. Captain Milcy also
has Lieutenant Colonel Lawton's report
on his meeting at Key West Friday, with
the officers OF the American blockade
ing squadron, Major General Shaftcr'S
recommendations as to the plan of cam
paign in the contemplated Cuban inva-
sion, and plans of Lieutenant Colonel
Ludlow, Chief of Engineers, regarding
Notifications, etc. at the point of land
ing i'll Cuba. Captain Milcy will return
to Tampa Immediately after his mission
IS accomplished. 1t is almost certain
that no move III the direction Of Cuba
Will be made from here for some time.
Much yet remains to be done before
everything is in readiness for the en-
harkatlon. The work of preparing the
transports has been delayed Il good deal
by the nOn-arrival of material, and il
will be Wednesday, perhaps later i'll the
week before this work is accomplished.
But outside of the delay in the prepare
tons, no American troops will be land
cd on Cuban soil until the question of
superiority on the Atlantic is settled be
tween ADMIRAL Simpsons squadron and
the Spanish fleet. and settled deciSiycIy.
High army officials make this statement.
They say it would be taking necdlc~S
chances to send an army into Cuba be
fore the Spanish fleet is disposed of,
and until the meeting Of the American
here believes that orders 10 move Will
be received. Services were hcld ut both
the Tampa and Port Tampa grounds
to-day by the regimental chaplaiue.
There was no drilling and thousands OF
! soldiers attended the services. The ser
mons in every case were Of an Interest
ing, patriotic character.
Reports Of the breaking out Of yellow
fever ut Key West among the prizr
crew Of the A~rgonanta. have caused
much uneasincss among the soldiers
herein. probably in view Of the fact that
w companies of the Twenty-Fifth Re-
iment arrived from Key West yesterday.
and are now in camp here. Should theS-
reports prove true, It IS very probable
that Il rigid quarantine will be cstab-

and who was then at Toronto. He fur
nlshed CarranZaS general information
