straps, belts. rosettes and bows are made

Sleeves on ball dresses are mere sug-
gestions, while sleeves for dinner dresses
are long. One OF the prettiest dinner
dresses, or dresses for informal affairs.
that have eesn this season was of black
taffeia. The skirt was made with thrt g
flounces, the top one coming from the
waist. Each of the fionnces had an
edgirg Of silver sequins-a band of ths
sequins about three inches wide. The
corsage was made with very low lining
OF the taffeta, with the black net CON-
ing to the throat in foe gathers AMI
finished with green satin stock. The
sleeves were shirred and reached we'll
over the hands, being finished with
ruffles of the net. Around the waist vas
a wide pointed girdle OF ssquiDs in irri-
descent colors arranged in q pattern OF
Egyptian design. The wearer was a
pronounced brunette, and with her hair
brushed back in the popular pompadour
roll, sparkling eyes and red cheeks, made
a picture to be remembered.
At this same dinner was "brown
blonde'-hair very light brown, amber
lashes and eyebrows same shade-in
black velvet dress. The skirt was plain,
with psle blue lining. which seemed to
show without effort on the part Of the
wearer. The waist had the inevitable
blouse cut in squares around the neck,
and open to tie belt in front. 1t was
filed in with tucked blue silk, which
also formed the guimpe. The belt was
formed ofblack satin with buckles, back
and front, OF turquoise.
Another dress-this dinner was very
informal end decollette was not neces-
eary-waa Of pale gray cloth. The
blouse waist opened over q white satin
vest embroidered in pea is; crossing the
vest and holding the edges OF the opened
blouse were straps Of red velvet. There
was a stock OF the white satin and pearls
with Medici collar OF cloth attached to
the blouse. which was lined with the
red velvet. The belt was wrinkled
around the waist and made of the cloth,
with bit OF the red velvet near the top
Of it, which suggested q lining. and was
fastened with pearl buckles. eeed-pearl,
set in dull gold.
Taffeta silk is surely having it's day
again. Dresses ara made solely OF it
aud it is used for all Innings to all the
thin stpffs SO much used for evening
dresses. BY the way. Adelaide, must
not forget to add that blouses are grow
ing less pronounced; it is still the blouse
on everything, but not so "baggy."

FAITH.

What is life, and what DEATH
Dost thou, questioning, seeks
Dost thou, faltering, draw thy breath?
Doth the palsy Ct fear spread
Its white On thy check
As thou ponderest life and deaths
One thing right know, jest one:
God Is Master ofboth;
Mauere the III done under the sun,
He, Maker, rules all He
hath made, and, in sooth,
The man must trust to His truth.
Know this, nor longer necd'st walk
In the doubt, which Is
shadow of death;
Thy hand IN HIS ham,
thou ean'st talk
Thy thoughts to His earle
hears al the creature saith:
So light IS thine eye-this Is Faith.

AN IMPORTANT MEETING.
Of Masonic Mutual Benefit Association
 Last Night

Of Masonic Mutual Benefit Association
 Last Night.
 A special and important meeting of the Masonic Mutual Benefit association was held in the Masonic Temple on Church street last night. There was a very large attendance, many of those present being from the various cities of the state. The meeting was held for the purpose of taking such action that the present bylaws of the asso- citation would conform more nearly with with the state insurance laws. The bylaws with the proposed amend ments were printed on pamphlets which were given to each one present, so as to enable all to understand the exact nature of the change and know precisely what was being voted for. The meeting was called to order by the Rev. c. E. Prince. Lucius P. Deming, the attorney of the association, was pres ent. As each amendment was read MT. Deming first gave a lucid explanation of it's purport and meaning. Then each one was given an opportunity to eX- press himself on the amendment. Each amendment was tawen up separate ly amendment was taken up separately adopted. The new bylaws will effect neither any present member or any one who becomes member in the future, with the exception that a man cannot leave his benefit policy to his estate. It is not the purpose of the association to provide a fund for the payment of a deceased's debts, but the benefit is in tended for those who deserve it and to whom it is by right due. A man can name almost anyone he may see fit as his beneficiary and of this the associa- tion takes no particular notice, and the new bylaws do not tamper with or hinder his rights in that respect. But they do provide that Tn case man fails to name anyone as beneficiary the insurance will be paid first to the widow, then to the minor children as they are the most needy, and in case of no minor children to the adult chill dren, and so on. If there are no such relatives and the member has named no one as beneficiary, the association will then do with the fund as it thinks proper, but not in any case allow it to be used to pay off the debts of the es- tate. The association will also, if nec- essary bury the deceased, pay the ex- penses of the last sickness and funeral and the balance of the benefit shall be paid to the Masonic Charity Fund of Connecticut, for the benefit of aged and indigent Masons, their widows and orphans.
 The whole matter arose because a member in his policy in the association named one person beneficiary and in his will disposed of his insurance to some one else. The association, of course, could not pay the same amount of money to two persons, and decided to take some action that such a situa- ton would be impossible in the future.
 It was also decided not to issue any more s3,000 policies. There will from now on be three classes, but the largest amount of insurance any one person can secure will be $2,000. The other classes will insure $1,50O and s1 ,0O0 poli- cies. This action will affect only those who join in the future and not those who are already members.

A NEPHEW OF DIR. PHILIP.
Hero of the Texas Has Relatives in Stamford

Hero of the Texas Has Relatives in
 Stamford
 One of the incidents of the war that will be remembered for a long time to come is the scene on the Texas. The remark of Captain Philip, Don't cheer the poor devils are dying" will live in history, and so will that scene on the quarter deck of the Texas, when Cap tain Philip said: T wish to make pub lie acknowledgment here that believe in God, the Father Almighty. I want all you officers and men to lift your hats, and from your hearts offer silent thanks to the Almighty The Stam- ford Advocate says:
 Captain Philip has relatives and ac- quaintances in Stamford and no one has read the story of the naval engage ment with keener interest than they.
 ''He is royal fellow,' said one of them this morning "and nothing that has been printed about Jack Is a bit too good for him.
 Captain Philip is a son of the late Dr. John Philip of Kinderhook. His father had three brothers who were physi- clans, and one of them was the late pr. Philip of Stamford, husband of Dr. Rosavelle G. Philip of this city. The latter said this afternoon that he vlsi- ted Stamford several times. His wife and two boys are now in Charlestown, where the captain was, before the war, on duty at the navy yard. He also had charge of fitting out the New York and he performed good service on the Paci- fa coast.
 He was in command of the Atlanta, but was detailed to another ship a short time previous to the celebration of Stamfords two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, in which the Atlanta took part When Dr. Philip visited the At lanta in Stamford harbor and intro duced herself to Captain Higginson, who succeeded Captain Philip, she was shown every courtesy, and Saw many proofs of the esteem In which their for mer commander was held by every of- ficer on board and by every member of the crew, from the cabin boy up. The officers said that when Captain Philip left the ship there was hardly dry eye among the men he commanded, and many anecdotes were related illustra- ting the nobility of his character. That Is the sort of a fellow Captain Jack Philip is, and those who know him personally regard him as a hero. The incident on the Texas to which ! allusion has been made has been the text for sermons and speeches, and has | inspired poets. Here are some verses printed In Chicago paper over the signature of Rev. pr. Henry G. Perry: | What glorified the captain
 | Who, with uncovered head, | Called all hands to the quarterback, | And humbly to them said:

The Stock Market.

New York, July 1S.--The downward movement in stocks to-day was check ed before the close and the level of prices brought back slightly above Sat urday's close. But it cannot be said that the market was sustained by any buying demand for the lethargy was almost complete The break of 414 per cent. In Metropolitan Street Railway, due to the pending suspension of traffic on some of it's lines during recon struction period, was the main unset ting factor in the morning. Quite a heavy decrease in earnings of the New York Central for June and the shrink age in the east-hound rail freight move- ment, due to the lively competition of the lake lines, were also factors of weakness. New York Centraps decline was, however only fractional and it recovered 1A per cent. in the late deal ings. Buying of Brooklyn Rapid Tran sit on the continued increase in earn ings was also a sustaining factor, and the recent pressure against the coalers ceased, those stocks generally showing gains.
 All indications point to coming re- dundancy in the money market, but no evidence of an overflow of funds into stocks was manifest to-day The allot- nent of the government bonds, it is felt certain, will result in the release of large sums on account of rejected sub scribtions. The usual demand of inte- ,,;c ', ,ts o+ . is not evident at all in the New York money market, the flow of funds during the past week having been from the in- terior to New York. Lenders of money, therefore, have little hope of getting better rates in the immediate future Renewed attention is called to the fact that the trade balance in favor of this country has been $615, 900 900 for the year, while the net imports of gold have been barely S1000OO,O O0O Making all possible allowance for the various items in the concealed adverse trade balance, such as foreign sales of our securities, ocean freights, payments of interest and dividends to foreign hold CTS and foreign expenditures by Amer ican travellers, it is. certain that an enormous balance in our favor remains still unliquidated and available on de- mand.
 We are practically assured of the largest wheat crop in the history of the country, with promise of continued for eign need for our surplus. The hesita- tion in the stock market is therefore difficult to explain.
 Business in bonds was light to-day, and prices sagged early, but later re- covered. The total sales were $2,24O,- 900.

or of the warriors of rank consisted of breastplate made of quilted cotton, over which was worn @ thick cotton coat. This cotton armor was complete ly arrow proof. Guards for the legs and arms were made of wood, cover- ed with leather or with goldplate and trimmed with feathers. Among the Toltecs private soldiers painted the upper parts of their bodies to represent armor. Along the Mexican coast the shells of great sea tortoises, inlald with gold and silver, were employed as shields.
 According to Dr. Hough, the ancient Peruvians protected their heads with helmets made either of wood or the skins of wild animals, and sometimes richly decorated with metals or preci- ous stones, and surmounted by bril- liant feathers of tropical birds. They wore close tunics of quilted cotton, like the MeXicans. The Mosquito In dians of Honduras used armor that was made of plaited reeds covered with
 tiger skins, and ornamented with feathers. To this day the Patagonians are clad for war in coat of mail made of several folds of hide, with a helmet and shield of like material.
 In the collection of aboriginal armor arranged by pr, Hough is coat of mail from Sitka, Alaska. It is made in | the form of a waistcoat, and fastened with brass buttons of English make. The entrie front of it is plaited with Chinese coins. The Esquimau in form CT days used armor that was made of plates of walrus ivory. The Tlingits and Haidas of the Northwest coast in- ! cased almost their entire bodies in armor of wood or leather. They wore helmets with curiously carved visors, and made breast-plates of wood, and
 arrow-proof coats of thin, flexible strips bound with strings, like a wo- mans stays.-From The Boston Tran script
