BETS WE'RE DECLARED OFF.

The picture of Queen Louise of Prus- sia is familiar to all, and so familiar that we may pardon the man who said he was tired Of seeing that everyalst- ing coming down the stairs" But who- ever has gazed on the wonderful life- size original in the museum at Cologne with think no more of face repose in his admiration and passion of the beau- tiful picture. Nor does the spectator need to know the history of that most queenly of queens, most womanly in her womanhood, who still was more of man than her vacilliting husband, Frederick William IT, with whom Na- poleon played. The case in point will show this
 The narrator was standing in front of Richter's great work, drinking in its beauty and expressing to his travelling companion his admiration, meantime discussing the historical importance of the beloved queen
 He had noticed two other tourists who had stood apart engaged in an anl- ated discussion, which shortly ceased,

HAS THEIR

HAS THERE BEEN EXTRA AT1GANC
 At lastl Belief in iclcles is in fair way to be restored, and we can reason ably turn from melancholy contempla- tion of a heated past to the pleasing prospect of frosty future. And now that we can breathe again, should not somebody who has an eye to the public good demand an investigation? Hasn't there been extravaganza in the sun this summer? Has it been proper to heat up so without regard to the wei fare of future generations? If the sun has been gradually losing its heat be- fore this summer, as we have been told 1t has, was it wisely economical for it to blaze out as it has done for the last three months? It has acted as If it had heat to burn instead of being only limited radiator. If our old friend Pro Bono Publico" or "Veritas" will move for an Investigation we will second the motion. Probably such an investiga- tion wouldn't amount to much, but it would amount to as much as most in- Vestigations do. It would at least give an able committee chance to make a report which could be used by and by as basis for the nomination" of one or more of it's members.

MT Porter will have strong dee- eation from this city to advocate his cause at the State convention, The selection of General Merwin to head the delegation was especially wise, He will be one of the most conspicuous figures in the convention and his great popularity, his large acquaintance with politics and politicians. and his skill and tact will make him power in the work that will be done. The other members of the delegation, Messrs. Harmon, Ullman and Swift, will also be active and efficient in be- half of their candidate. New Haven has done well by MT, Porter.

FASHION NOTES.
Variety in Tailor Finish.

It looks as if tailors fear that they are losing their grip on womans atten- tion. for they have assisted in making styles for tailor suits such that wo- man can have hers about as she likes it. Severely plain ones are o. K, those frogged and freely trimmed with braid are strictly all right, and third sort that represented by the accompanying picture-is correct. So pay your money and take your pick-it will be a pretty sum no matter which sort you choose so the tailor is capable. This pictured gown is midway between manly finish and braid trimming, the one being this fall very severe, and the other extreme ly free. This model was of dark blue camel's hair, bias folds being applied as indicated. Collar and revers were faced with white satin, and dark blue taffeta furnished the inner collar and vest.
 The fall coat is quite new in effect.

 superable.
 Struck with the good work done by the Rowton Houses, an American gen. tleman of great wealth, resident in this country mentioned to Sir Richard Far rant, who has been intimately connect ed with the Rowton scheme since it's in- itiation, that he would put up" ten thousand pounds, and secure twenty thousand pounds more, if only poor womans hotel' could be started as an experiment. For various reasons this offer has never been closed with, but presumably it stands good to-day, and not only that, but there is good reason to believe that any workable scheme would receive unlimited support. It seems great pity that, for want of definite scheme, so much practical good will should be lying idle.
 Lord Rowton is abroad, and therefore could not be found by the Daily Chron- icle representative, but the officials in the office of the company were quite sure that no scheme for a women's IhoW loil IlouSe NdS III any tlilliEs IihS progress.
 Up stairs, in the office of the Arti- sans, Laborers' and General Dwellings company, Sir Richard Farrant was very communicative.
 'Is it true, Sir Richard" said the Daily Chronicle representative, that large offer has been made for the erec- tion of womens Rowton House?"
 "Oh! certainly. Only see that it has been stated that the offer came from two ladies. It was made to me by gentleman-a personal friend-and Lord Rowton and I discussed it at great length. It was a quite genuine offer, and we should have been sure of the thirty thousand pounds if we could have used it, but tine whole subject fairly bristles with difficulties.
 Gan you tell me the chiefest?"
 Well in the first place. the scheme would have to be self-supporting. Un- less 1t was so l am quite sure it would fall to pieces. The success of the Row ton Houses lies in the fact that they are business places conducted on busi- ness principles. Any man-up, or, rather, down to a certain limit-who produces his siXpence can make the place his home for one night, and right up to the next day. No one interferes

with him, and he realizes that he IS in a hotel With women 1t would be altogether different. I am satisfled that very few of the class which is being considered could pay siXpence a night, and if you charged fourpence there would be dead loss.
 "Then there would at once come in the question of philanthropy with all sorts of things in it's train, and the sim pie hotel element must disappear
 Again, the great feature of Row. ton House is that when the paying guest leaves his dormitory in the morn ing, either for outdoor or indoor occu- patton, he does not return. We could never manage that with women. They would not leave their sleeping apart ments; they would chatter, and, per- haps, dance! Who is to get them out? You might get a man to eject man, but not crowd of women"
 But these would be respectable wo- men?"
 No doubt there are thousands of such women crying for homes, but how could we be certain that all we admit ted were of the right class? One bad woman has far more influence than twenty bad men. Then, again, we could not take women-eXcept under exceptional circumstances-as nightly lodgers. They would have to be weekly tenants"
 Could not that be done?"
 Well, it might be- but it would take q deal of thinking out-more than I could give it just at present. I may tell you that Lady Jeune once urged this subject upon me, and I actually ar- ranged for block of buildings, in which women were to have accommo- dation at Is 6d week but it all fell through, because we could not get the land. This was in conjunction with an- ether scheme, mind you, and l don't see how such hotel, solely for women, could possibly pay, There are hosts more objections"
 You are aware that people are again talking about the matter?"
 They have never ceased, and let me tell you that Lord Rowton and myself are still very anxious about the matter. II is from no want of sympathy that we are holding aloof, but only because we cannot find any practical scheme.'
 ''Is there any solution of the ques- tion?''
 Sir Richard, leaning back in his chair and speaking very slowly, said, The question will never be solved till wo man with a great personality taxes it up. Not an ordinary philanthropist. but woman who would organize with genius of the highest order, rule with unrivaled firmness, and yet inspire the love and trust of those whom she sought to benefit.
 There are such women but when will one of them come forward for this scheme?"
 Sir Richards query is before the wo- men of England for an answer. -Lon- don Chronicle.

AN EFFICIENT ITALIAN.

pr. Lewis A. Stimson went to see Camp Wikoff and he saw some inter esting things there. Among them was the efficiency of an Italian milk peddler who had in his own way solved a prob- lem which had proved too much for the United States government. While Dr. Stimson and those with him were distributing milk the peddler drove up with four forty-quart cans and pro- ceeded to retail it to the soldiers. That man, whose English was scarcely in telligible, had learned of the need and had found way to meet it. while at headquarters on the bluff above there were men backed by the whole power of the United States whose duty it was to know how to meet it, and who had failed to do so The motive of gaining a dollar or two had proved more eff cient than professional pride or respect for the credit and honor of the coun- try
 It would probably be wrong to give the Italian milkman an office where he could do for the United States what he did for himself, but perhaps the United States could learn something by study ing his mode of getting milk where it is wanted. How would it do to ask him to deliver lecture to the officers on "The Art of Supplying a Camp With Milk?"

sides and back. These jackets are usu- ally of some bright colored smooth cloth, silk lined, with pronounced rev CTS and showy double row of buttons. They have directoire effect without really following directoire lines. This same design will be followed in the heavier plushes, velvets and even furs for winter.
 Cloth habit jackets are short all around, except for pair of saucy tails in the back. The woman of fiat out line below the waist in the back cannot wear them. It will not do to resort to the bustle which will do to support drapery, but will not admit of outlin- ing. Pads carefully fitted and adjust ed may serve, but the presence of pad upon which the set of one's jacket de- pended would, to say the least, be dis traction. FLORETTE.

COLONEL RRY4N,S DJJE1yua

Colonel William J. Bryan is perplex- ed. When he went to war it was un- kindly said of him that he had one eye on patriotism and the other on politics Now the war is over he has at least one eye on politics. and it is reported that he is anxious to be mustered out so that he can give "the money power'' fits with his silver tongue. Unfortu- nately, however the War department shows no disposition to expedite the Colonel's return to the stump. It has declined to muster out the Third Ne braska regiment, and if the Colonel is to lift up his voice for his partys can didates he will be compelled to resign from his regiment and he and his friends are not quite certain that this would be the best course for him to pursue. The Third Nebraska is one of the regiments designated for duty in Cuba after the island has been evacu- ated by the Spanish troops, and if Colonel Bryan should resign now it might be charged by his political ene- mics that he retired just at the time when his services were needed.
 Perhaps Colonel Bryan can rightly solve his problem by deciding that he can do his country more good by talk ing to it than by continuing to bear arms for it. There are colonels enough and more can be made. But there is only one political orator like MT. Bryan.

The Philadelphia Press denies the current statement that the grave of General Hancock, at Norristown, Penn sylvania, is neglected. General Han- cock, it says, Ties in tomb of his own selection, and the architecture is of his own devising. It was nearly twenty years after Arlington cemetery was es- tablished that the then commandant of Governors Island, New York, visited the scenes of his happy boyhood days and selected the location of his own tomb. He built it big, strong and am- ple for the reception of six bodies. In the matter of architecture he improved on the tombs or vaults of those in the same cemetery, mostly those of the wealthier residents of the town. The only mistake the general appears to have made was in the selection of ma terial for the facade, which is not as durable as it might be. General Han cock lies buried as he desired. No name or letters designate the place. Ont of respect to his wishes his most cherished friends have emblazoned no epitaph above him. He lies amid the grandeur of unostentation. His tomb is visited regularly and carefully kept in order"

The Missouri River commission is experimenting with a new system for keeping open the channel of the river, which, if successful, will take the place, to large extent, of the very expensive system of revetments and may be adopted on all large rivers having treacherous currents and shifting channels Revetments are made of willow mattresses, and cost about $7 per foot. The bank heads to the sub stituted are built of stone. They are placed at the bends of the river, to keep the current from cutting away the soil. The expectation is that the wa ter will cut into the bank below the bank head only to certain distance, and then strike across the river again. The bank heads are from 600 to 1000 feet in length, and the stretch of river bank between them is from 5000 to 5000 feet Several of them have been plac- ed, and the results thus far noted have been very encouraging.
