White Outfits: Evening Gowns: Garden
Party Dresses: Answers.

Special Correspondence to the Time.
White is extremely fashionable and in
entire gowns or merely independent
waists, is seen at all times and on all
occasion. For a morning stroll to the
Springs, street dresses of white pop
lin, Irish linen, pique, duck or satin
cloth, have peculiar distinction, pro-
vided that shoes, gloves, and
parasol be in keeping, nor can any
thing more dainty be imagined than
young woman who thus wends her way
in garments of purity. Worn by
older women, these white outfits are
too trying to be desirable and by way
of change, young aspirants not unfre-
quently wear colOred ties or in case OF
short Jackets, the vest may show color.
The parasol can then be optional and
this year it is a stylish idea to wear a
colOred silk petticoat under a white
dress of thick goods and have the par
asol match the undergarments which
shows effectively when the skirt is
lifted for its exhibition. At
EVENING HOPS.
or garden parties, white organdle
gowns lead, but are closely rivalled by
net and both show a dressy simplicity
that is extremely attractive, whether
in all white or when finished by ruffies
edged with colored baby ribbon. while
now and again, the fancy for white and
black is gratified by substitution OF
narrow black velvet in place of the rib
bon. Narrow black velvet ribbon is
indeed noteworthy factor throughout
dress in general: it is seen alike on
plain or high dress gowns or waists
and imparts that shading on the picture
which is so truly artistic.

A Sound Money Senate.

While all Indications point to a re-

nevertheless be cause for rejoicing
when the country can he assured that

No Cause for Exaqgeration.

We hope it will be conclusively dem
onstrated that the supposed mutilation
of American marines by Spanish
soldiers was due to the tearing effect
of the Mauser bullet. Cruelty is in
grained in the Spanish nature, but to
suppose that it was utterly lacking in
the veneer of civilization, that the
Spanish regulars methods were iden
tical with those employed by the Sioux
Indians, was to credit the Spanish with
lack of brains almost beyond belief.
The atrocities of which the Spanish
have been guilty are sufficiently horr-
BILE, there is no occasion for eXaggera-
ton. We know that the Spanish for
generations have been accustomed,
women no less than men, to gloat over
the bull fight with all it's barbarities
disgusting as we'll as shocking to the
mind of one who naturally shrinks from
cruelty. We know that Spanish op-
pressors have never had any apparent
regard for the sufferings of the op-
pressed, that wherever they have come
into relations with people inferior to
them in power they always have treats
ed them heartlessly. We know that
Spanish ladies" in Manila made festaE
days for the butcheries of insurgents
in the public square. England may
have deemed it necessary to blow her.
Indian rebels from the mouths Of can
non the quicker to strike terror to the
native heart, but English women have
never found enjoyment in witnessing
such spectacles. We know, too that
Weyler on a baseless pretext inaugu-
rated a policy of determination in
Cuba, by starving helpless non-com-
batants, and there is no doubt that the
guerrillas if not the regulars under
command OF Spanish officers have
burned insurgent hospitals and hacked
the inmates to death. But it would
be too much to say of any people that
all of them eXult at such deeds and il
would be reflection on Spanish
strength of character to believe that
are unable TO restrain their
lust for cruelty when the dictates of
self interest are opposed. Accordingly
it has never seemed probable that if
Admiral Cervera could have his orders
obeyed any harm would befall the gal
men.
1t manifestly was for Spanish inter-
ests that they should be protected
with the utmost care from harm. 1t
is not surprising that the Spanish
should not consent to an exchange
They had reason to feel that under the
circumstances no Spaniard within the
American control would be an equal
exchange for one with such courage
and ability to accomplish as Ho5son
had displayed. 1t must be admitted
that the message of Admiral Cervera,
DdflllS SuCn as lnelrS makes bitter
est enemy proud that his fellowmen
can fbe such heroes has ring of sin
cerity. 1t is of course a notorious fact
that the Spaniard is a sort of degener-
ate in almost everything but words,
that he is extremely skilfull in the use
of those. which really are meaningless

cerned. Nevertheless, this prompt ac-

Colby should have regular instruc-
