THE NECESSARY FAN.
The Palm Leaf Variety is Not Only
the Best, but fs Cheapest.

From Harper's Bazaar
With the advent of summer weather
fans again become important In our
equable climate We do not need to have a.

day and all night. with careful servitors
TO keep it going, lest we Gle for lack of ai.:
but. nevertheless the fan plays an import
ant part in our ordinary comfort.
No house is properly furnished for sum-
mer which has not a quantity of the USE
ful palm-leaf variety of fans. which cost
little and return an immensity Of comfort
Less beautiful and ornate than the Japau-
ese fans, the palr-leaf always holds las
own for its ligitness and its power of
creating breeze. Little folding fans To
carry in the pocket or the big feather fans
OF lace, silk nd ivory are among the choice
possessions which women love. No elegant
toilet is complete without a fan, and many
women have fans TO match each costume.
While one may purchase for a few cents

the resources of a millionaire's purse may
be taxed for the artistic and EXPENSIVE fal;s
which cost immense sums of money and
take rank in their owners love with lew
els and laces,
One word of caution may be permitted
and that is addressed To those who use fans
in public places. There is a way Of tanning
ones self, and at the same time drenchin.s
ones neighbor's neck with an ice-cold
stream of air. in the wake of which stalks
rheumatism or pneumonia. If the victims

people who sit near them i'm church. at the
theater and at the opera could rise and
wave their hands in protest they would
certainly make impression on the
thoughtless women who keep on tanning
the summer through, with no regard for
the comfort of those around them. Ii is
wholly unnecessary, if one fans i'm the right
way, to thus torment a neghbor. but the
vigorous tanner. intent on securing a cur
rent of air for herself. seldom remembers
that just in front of her there may be sit
ting a lady or a gentleman who is only
comfortably warm.
A fan is always an appropriate present.
One never has too many. In selecting gifts
for a bride, or birthday. "A holiday &C
casion. you will never go wrong in choOs-
ing a beautiful fan. Historic collections Of
fans are always full of interest. and in loan
collections for charitable objects beautiful
fans always occupy prominent place.

LOYALTY OF CUBAN WOMEN.
They Are the BraVest Foes With
Whom Spain Has Had to Deal.

From tn. Woman's Home Companion.
Cuban men In arms frequently present
themselves for pardon. No Cuban woman
has ever been known to barter fealty for
mercy. There are traitors In Cuba, but they
are never women.
Havana is full of devoted women reared
in Incidence and luxury who are til eless in
their successful efforts TO get word from
one scattered rebel band to another, and to
send them food, medicines and clothing.
These women are far better conspiratorS
than their fathers and brothers. for Cuban
men must talk. and therefore rarely hatch
a plot before it is revealed. The women in
that country, at least, seem to know the
value of silerce. They say little of war,
even among themselves. but to Americans
they are singularly confiding. This in
stsntaneous and Perfect trust is at times
startling. and makes one breathe a fervent
prayer that 1t will never be betrayed. 1t
leads to many strange experiences that
cannot be treated as news and sent TO
daily journal. for the required publication
of names would tend to swell the already
oyercrowded and vile quarters for women
in the island jails and prisons. Beautiful

leans how they steal out at night to the
nearby haunts of lover or brother in the
Long Grass" as the insurgents camps are
called; how they secrete food in false
pockets: how letters whose envelopes have
been dipped in ink, hidden in their
black hair; how medicines are carried in
canes. and cloth for clothes or wounds con-
cealed in the lining of their coats. One girl.
disguised as a vender, has frequently
ried to the woods dynamite in egg shells
deftly put together. She has had many
thrilling experiences. but her narrowest es-
cape was when a Spanish soldier by the
roadside insisted on taking from the basket
an egg, to let its contents drop in a hot
and ready pan He was with difficulty per-
suaded to forego the meal. The dynamite
fully obtained the ingredients at various
times and at widely scattered drug stores.

THE HAGUE, April -, 1898
Although the costume de promenade S
the typical spring gown and has for a while
absorbed the attention of the fashionable
world, the mind of the 'faiseur" has never
theless been creative of new ideas appropri-
ative for social functions for as long as
woman will be beautiful she will strive to
be 50 at home, well as outdoors, and
gowns must be made for dinners, receptions
and weddings till the summer heat lulls
even these to languor and madame trans
ports her successes to a new field-the fash
iOnable summer resort.
Among the new creations of the principal
dressmakers there is a tendency to launch
out into more eccentricity of form than is
likely to be popular for some time to come,
but which. nevertheless, shows the trend
of fashion.

100000 Improperly Expended.

The report of the commission ap-
pointed by Gov. Black of New Yuk to
inquire into the management of the
general canal Improvement work under
the s9OO0,000 appropriation has been
made public. The report il signed by
every member Of the commission,
which was composed Of four Republic
cans and three Democrats. The Re-
publican members are George Clinton
Of Buffalo, Darwin R. James of Brook
lyn. Frank Brainard of New York, and
William McEchron of Glens Falls. The
Democratic members are Smith M.
Weed Of Plattsburg, A. Foster Higgins
and Franklin Edison of New York city.
The commission was appointed for
the purpose Of determining how much
money would be needed to complete
the canal improvement work before
any further appropriation was made,
as well as to ascertain what work had
already been accomplished and how
the $9,O00,000 had been expended,
In making its criticisms of the carry

Before proceeding to the Pacific

posed Of Senator Cullom of Illinois,
Senator Morgan of Alabama and
Representative Hit Of Illinois, met
at Chicago and had informal talks
with a number of business men. A
luncheon was prepared for them by
Alexander H. Revall, president Of the
Union League Club, where they met a
number of prominent Chicagoans.
There were forty guests. Among them
were Controller Dawes. ex-senator

Thomas B. Bryan, John J. Mitchell,
William Penn Nixon, H. H. Kohlsaat,
General John McNulty, DR.. William R.

Senator Morgan said the annexation
of Hawaii would result in the construc-
tion Of the Nicaragua Canal. Not only
would the Nicaragua Canal be con-
structed, but there would be a ship
canal connecting Lake Michigan, the
Mississippi and the Gulf Of Mexico, and
one between New York and Alhemarle

in the next century the United States

Senator Cullom said the commission
would ascertain what legislation should
be enacted by Congress for the gov

and they expected to examine the con-
dition of the people, their industries,
the land question, labor. etc., and to
look at the harbor at Hawaii and see
what ought to be done to make 1t
great harbor He also said the Mica
ragua Canal would be built.
Representative Hit also spoke of the
certainty of the Nicaraguan Canal as
one of the results OF the war, as was u
