..You,re an old fraud, do you know that?"

You're an old fraud, do you know that?" asked Millicent as her temper finally pass ed beyond all control with one of the uni- versal outbursts of which even women Of good breeding are sometimes guilty when 1t comes to a business matter with one or their own sex. You're perfect fraud Those two dresses are brand new. One or them has never been worn. They cost nearly $500 at Autriche's and the waist cost $50. Yet you tell me that they are spotted and everything else is so old-fashioned ana worthless You ought to be ashamed Of yourself, you, you-old woman!'
 There was a slight attempt at renewing negotiations. It all came from the woman. But she stopped when the servant that Mil- licent had called came to show her to the door. It might have been some satisfac- ton to her if she could have looked back. By the time the woman reached the door Millicent was in the middle of the bed, on top of the dresses, almost in mysteries.

One of the events that will be chronicled when the history of the Spanish-American war is written will be the gallant command of Captain Philip of the United States bat tleship Texas, during the fight with Ad- miral Cervera's fleet when 1t tried to escape from Santiago harbor

 Captain Philip was born in New York. in August, 1S40, and is therefore in his ffty-eighth year. He was appointed to the naval school from New York in 1s56 He made a thorough and exhaustive study of marine and international law and by his efficient work became one of the most trustworthy captains in the navy.
 In 1877 he was chosen from score of officers as the one best fitted to command the Woodruff scientific expedition in the voyage around the world, and for the ac- complishment of many duties he gained for, himself the medal which none but a hard worker receives-that which accompanies a captainship.

The gay silk pet ticoat that reigned so long supreme Is giving away to the skirt of white lawn and lace and insertion that was the only wear for a lady in civil war times, and the chemise has just returned from a long exile all futtering with lace and bits of ribbon. The high shoe of black satin which was the height of elegance in 63 and 64 is to cover the feet of modish wo- men again for occasions of ceremony and state.
 Fen the bright and vivid colors that delighted the eyes of our mothers are now our favorites, after a long reign of pale and dingy shades. The royal blues that show block away, the emerald greens and brilliant purple and orange that made the streets gay during the later years of the civil war, are again to the front. In fact, every mode that was then in favor save the hoop skirt is again the fashion, and who knows but that is now creeping upon us in the insidious fashion of stiffen- ed petticoats. and may declare itself when peace is made with Spain.

GERS SUCCESSORS
POLICE BOARD AND SALOONS
Some Badly Mixed Up License Matters
to Be Strengthened 0ut-The
Saloon Quota Full

Commissioner Gibbon, who has been IN st.
Louis for two weeks, was the only absentee
at the police board meeting yesterday, ana IL
was therefore decided that longer delay IN
the appointment Of two policemen to NIL
the positions of ex-Oficers Blackburn and
Spencer was unnecessary. j. G. Gorman and
j. L. Burch, the former special police
man and the latter fireman, had been nom.
mated for the positions two weeks ago, and
to bring the matter before the board yester-
day Commissioner McLain moved that their
appointments be confirmed.
1t was rather expected that a contest
would result, but the motion was at once
seconded by Commissioner Preuss and car
ried without dissenting vote. The new
appointees appeared before the board and
rendered their thanks for the compliments,
after which, under Chief Glass instruction.
they went before the city clerk and were
sworn into the service.
As the appointment of German left a
vacancy in the special police list, it was
deemed advisable to fill it at once. Commits
sioner Wyman nominated William Strobe
for the position, and it is quite probable
that his nominee will be appointed on next
Tuesday, as his candidacy has the very
strongest endorsement. Mr.. Strobe is al
present a private watchman for broadway
merchants, and from them comes the strong
recommendation referred to. He was also
formerly member of the Elms detective
agency, so will enter on his duties well
equipped for the service
Burch's appointment leaves vacancy in
the city fire department. but it is not prob
able that his successor will! be appointed for
some time vet.

Waldeck & Althouse, the men who have

QUITE A MESS
Caused by an Application for a Saloon
License Transfer

A queer mix-up was that presented in
connection with the application of Charles
Pike for transfer of the 30l East First
street license from George w. Atkinson to
himself. The saloon, as a matter of fact,
has always been conducted by man named
f. M. Harris who was started in busi
ness by Mr.. Pike. the latter holding chat
tel mortgage on the furniture and fixtures
George w. Atkinson, in whose name the
license rested, is representative of a brew
ing company. Recently Pike foreclosed his
chattel mortgage and Harris was thrown
out, Pike also making an application for the
transfer of the license.
But this matter was further complicated
by f.. Laventhal & Sons presenting to the
commission in the nature of protest against
the. transfer a bill for s1O9.05 which Harris
had contracted. It has been customary for
the police board to take cognizance of such
matters and refuse transfer until the bills
are paid. Mr.. Pike contended, however
that previous tn Harris ousting he turned
over. to Laventhal & Sons lot of time
checks representing an amount considerably
in excess of the bill The time-checks sub
sequentlv proved worthless. but have neve,
been returned. Further than that. it was
stated that the brewing company was vii
ling to pay the bill if the transfer was
granted. In view of these facts and as nei
ther of the persons mentioned in the appl
cation had contracted the debt, the hoard
after carefully considering the matter
granted the transfer.

AT THE THEATER

BURBANK-The second appearance here
Of Nance O'Neil was made last night in the
character Of Camille. 1t appears to be one
OF the unwrtten laws Of the stage that the
woman who aspires for leading histrionic
honors shall pass the ordeal OF personatiug
the shady heroine OF Dumas highly spiced
story of illicit love. 1t must have been fol
some such reason that Miss O'Neili ihas at
tempted the character in spite OF her TEN
peramental unfitness for the part. The
young lady realizes in her appearance, her
carriage and her physique generally the beau
ideal of health, vigor and superabundant
vitality. 1t is therefore physically impos-
sible tor her adequately to present the con-
sumptive, delicate and debIlitated inhabit-
ant of the Partisan halfworld.
As matter of fact Miss o. Neil makes but
little attempt to follow tradition in her rem
derng She has evidently no use Tor the
hne-spun theories by which MOdJeska sought
to make fine lady out OF the French soiled
dove On the contrary, Miss O'Neil, in tho
earlier part of the play, has business air
and tone that accord with realistic inter
pretation OF the character.
The ball room scene was well done and the
death scene made an evident impression
upon the large audience present. 1t was a
very healthy Camille who died on the stage
last night and the sickening sentimentality
of the story lost much of it's offensiveness
in the hands of the stalwart young Califor
nian. 1t is not probable that the character
will ever be favorite one in Miss ONeifs
repertory. Her methods are all opposed tt
its rendition after the fashion made popular
by actresses who do not rant in drawing
rooms when they get excited. The per
Torrance may be reckoned up as being {
useful one for the actress, in enabling. hel
to attempt the toning down of some of hel
exuberant flow of animal spirits and also tC
acquire some of the repose SO necessary fol
stage work.
Owing to the illness of member of the
company the cast was altered at the las
moment. Mckee Rankin, taking the part
OF DE Varville, for which he is not quite
well suited; II. A. Weaver doing the pa
thetic as Armand's father, and Mr.. Tuthel
taking the part of CASTOR. The other part'
were acceptably filled.
This afternoon Camille" will be repeated
and tonight a melodrama, True to Life,
will be presented, the last named being the
piece in which Miss O'Nel is said to have
made her first "hit."
