HE BLAMES TORAL.
DR.. Congosto Says Santiago Should
Not Have Fallen as It Did.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Discussing the
fall of Santiago and the surrender of
General TOral, Dr.. Congosto said today:
There were brave soldiers at San
tiago and if their leader lacked courage
he deserves to be punished. Santiago
should not have fallen as it did and if
Toral had not entered into negotiations
with the enemy, it is likely that there
would have been a different story to
tell today. 1t is not true that the Span
ish army there lacked supplies and am
munition for they had plenty of both
which they turned over to the Ameri-
cans. If TOral had pushed forward in
stead of retreating towards the city, he
certainly would have caused a repulse.
These are the things which he will have
to explain"
DR.. Congosto hopes that, when his
duties on the Paris peace commission
expire, he will resume his consular ser

President Potter, the League Of Amer

CURES FOR POISON IVY

Poison ivy grows ever trees and fences
and runs over walls and along the ground.
1t may be distin guished by its brown, hairy
ike stem, its three leaves (n clusters) and
white berries. 1t IS also known as the
poison oak. Sometimes it takes the form OF
a bush, and other times that of vine. The
poison Ivy and the poison sumac are utterly
unlike in appearance but both belong to
the same general order. The poison sumac
grows in swamry places, and is known also
as poison dogw>ood and poison alder. 1t
grows from SIX to twenty-five feet in
height In shrutfike form, and can always
be recognized in the fall by its color and
white berries. Ivy poison Is very painful;
first he skin is very itchy, then read and
swollen, eventually breaking into blisters.
The face often swells 50 much that the
eyes are swollen. Having described the
plants and told how TO detect the poison. I

stages:

that changes The soda into washing soda.
Battle with warm water and soap-good,
pure soap.
Battle with alum curds; tablespoonful
OF powdered alum to pint OF milk; or,
Battle with weak ammonia water; 0ne

AT DUSK

IT'S dusk-the plumed shadows fall
Along the margin of a stream
Where lilies bloom, ana mid 1t all
A girl is musing In a dream.
The boat is moored-she idly sits.
And, listening, she looks away
To where the sprite of darkness fits
Behind the football of the day..
Yet nothing of the scene she sees
The fading light-the shadows brown
For far beyond the fringed trees
Her soul has sought the busy town.
A YEAR LATER
'Tis dusk-along the cobbled street
The crash of wheels has fainter grow
In four walled city gloom and heat
A musing girl sits all alone.
Far leaning from her easement wid.
She looks upon the scene below
The flare of lights-the human tide,
With never-ending ebb and flow.
She sees them not-beyond it all
Her spirit wanders in a dream
To where the plumed shadows fall
Along the margin Of stream.

LIMP FOLDS THFlATfST

NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-(Special Corre-
spondence to The Herald). All stiffness has
disappeared from the skirts of costumes
There are folds In plenty where the skirts
ana shaped founces begin to widen, but
they fall softly. Even the lapels of Jack
cts are not SO very firm as their outlines
Collars, however, are still rigid. AS for
capes, they have followed suit, and we
snail see them hanging In soft folds from
the shoulders finished by the shaped frills
that are all the rage. All materials that
Will not fall In folds are now rejected by
hrst-class dressmakers
The now drap CUR to be used for capes
and cloaks Is thinner than usual in or
Ger TO drape and hang softly. All the new
materials partake Of this quality. Those
that promise to be most In favor are all
sorts OF cloths, faced and unfaced, CASH
mere, reps and twills, soft makes OF mores
ana satins, corded silks and fancy corded
materials. Then there are, besides these,
selI-colored figured woolens. with simple
patterns, lozenges, spot and arabesques.
When different colors are combined In
the fancy tissues they are so woven togeth-
er that the effect Is that of mixed fabric.
Ribbings and narrow strpings are among
the new goods and run either way of the
material. In the wide widths the dlrec-
tion given to the woven pattern often does
not matter, as the dressmakers make them
up any way which happens to suit their
taste.
The unequal ribbed poplins bid fair to be
favorites for elegant dress. The manner
III which they are trea ted is decidedly pleas
ing' many being shot or watered, and
sometimes both. Among Irish poplins

THE VALUES OF SUGAR

mittel," sugar is almost the most valuable
thing which enters the mouth of man, wo-
man or child. There Is scarcely any other
equally important feeder Of muscle power

subject was brought up and discussed at

by disastrous results.-London News.

A singular case in which burglary is charged, came up before Judge Joachim sen yesterday morning, the complaining witness swearing positively as to the iden- tity of the man arrested for the crime, and the latter as positively denying it and bringing forward two witnesses who swore that at the time of the alleged burglary the defendant was with them at the Bush Street Theater.
 On Saturday night about 10 o'clock the residence of Joseph Heinman, a sales man at 2023 Sacramento street, was en- tered by burglar. The servant girl was the only occupant of the house at the time. While the housebreaker was going through the house Heinman and his wife and son came home. Heinman stood in the hallway under the light until his wife entered their bedroom and turned on the light there. Just then the burglar made his appearance and attempted to get past Heinman. who sought to grapple with him. The burglar put his hand in his hip pocket and threatened to blow Heinman' s brains out if he laid hands on him, and Heinman allowed him to leave

Jones brought forward he was with them in the Bush Street Theater Saturday night. The Judge al- lowed Jones to go on his own recognizance and continued the case until this morning to enable him to bring his employer as a witness as to his character.
