Francisco, soldiers, ladies. frontiersmen,
miners and q couple of globe t~rotters. Ev-
cry one had to dance. The etiquette was
explained to all, and it was made evident
that II they chose to be present and take
part they must observe all the demands of
the occasion, for a refusal might imperil
the lives of all.
The dance was accordingly very demo-
cratic. Whoever the Indians asked to
dance with them responded with a smiling
assent. The squaws could not resist the
effects OF Mr.. Hoods noted "blephaa spas
mus and at every opportunity they
would break a oasoarone on his high fore
head. which was tantamount to an invi-
tation to waltz, and to the strains of the
talDtams and a wheezy violin or two he
showed the others how a man should waltz
when he has q daughter Of the desert for
his partner.
On the following day a solemn confer
ence was held at which the valuable right
of way was obtained from the Indians on
favorable terms.

OF the waist was slightly poucneu, wrzie
the back was in form Of a short, round
basque. There was a v shaped opening in
front, filed with white satin. The stock
was white satin, and the tie was of black
lace with rufled ends. 1t was a very re-
fined gown and a tasteful one, much moro
SO than one shown at the same place with
much more pretension.
This was of ivory white cloth. there be-
ing a bias lonnce Of ivory white and red
striped taffeta. This was stitched On un-
der q strap and placed on the skirt in q
way to represent an overskirt. just under
the edge was a straight plated rufile of the
same silk. The sleeves had chatelaine
cuffs Of the silk, and there was o fulled
vest front of tho same added to the close
basque waist With this there was one of
the newest of the spring oapes of the same
material as the gown and braided with
soutache of exactly the same shade
Capes are not SO full as they were, and
many scarcely reach the elbow. Some only
cover the shoulders. There are many new
ideas in capes, dolmans being one style
and mantles another. There are also man
telets which are made with much ruffling
around the neck and bottom and with
long tabs in front.
One most elegant mantle for a middle
| aged lady was of embroidered cashmere,
the lower edge lone in very open design.
The garment was pointed front and back
and had ample folds over the shoulders.
A ruffle Of black lace was sewed in under
the edge and another around the neck,
with a double cascade of the same all DOWN
the front. Many wraps have long tabs in
front. Others are cut away rounding in
front and long in the back. A rufle Of
some sort is always added 60 this kind.
Pelerines there are without number
The blouses which are intended for
street are very handsome, many Of them
being OF cloth, dark green. blue, brown,
purple or oxblood red. These are nearly
all braided with fine black soutac1e, or
braid half an inch wide with the edges
outlined with picot loops in fine soutache.
/ saw several where there was no intent
that the fronts should close. These were
specially arranged to hang loosely at the
front to show the lining, which was OF
bright striped silk, the stripes being hori-
onntal. Under this was a loose, full vest
of some kind Of material always differing
as widely as possible from the outer ma
terial.
These full vest fronts are seen every
where and are made of silk Of any prefer
red color, apple areen and deep red being,
I think, the fayorites after white. These
vest fronts all rave stocks or folded neck
bands with more or less trimming at the
back. Some Of them are accordion plait-
ed, and ruffles of the same are set in jabot
fashion down the center. A few are sewed
to a regular vest, but the most of them
are to be Simply fastened at the waist line.

for the benefit of whoever may have the
misfortune to have his name placed on
the sick roll of the navy.
The Duchesse Is built entirely Of steel,
her dimensions being as follows: Length,
404 feet over all; length between perpen-
diculars, $50 feet; beam, Al feet 8 inches;
depth from top of deck to base line, 81
feet 4 inches. She has two steel masts and
is fore and aft rugged.
As far as possible, the rigid rules of a
hospital will be enforced aboard her. The
surgeons will wear the uniform of the
United States navy, but when on duty,
instead of the blue coat, the white duck
will invariably be worn. Two-thirds of
the nurses will be women, and these will
be attired in the regulation uniform en-
ployed in the government hospitals.
While the vessel will be an ambulance
ship, she will be differed by men of the
usual naval rank found in a cruiser of the
second class. There will be one-third the
number of sailors aboard that are usually
found in a cruiser of this class, because
there will be no guns to handle.

In view of the increasing numbers of
tight waists and snug basques and the
fact that the blouses are growing trimmer
and less baegy all the while I think it is
safe to predict that this coming fall will
see the last of the blouse and shirt waists,
at least for several years; but shirt waists
will be very much in evidence in a few
weeks.
Among them all there Is none prettier
than those made of the dark blue percale
or the china silk which it closely initiates.
There are several shades of blue this sea-
son, but indigo, peacock, cadet and faience
are the fayorites. Only indigo and navy
are safe to purchase if for a washable gar
ment. The clan plaids in the ginghams
and the madras are still offered with as
surance. Blouses and shirt waists are
made of both, and their style, plain or
dressy, is obtained by the placing of
straight and bias plaids together in Jokes,
folds or rufies.
Ruff1es are growing even moro popular
for handsome dresses of fine fabrics and
also for the lighter stuffs for warm sum
mer days. 1t is nothing unusual TO find
%organdie, barege, silk and chin lawns ruff
fled quite to the waist.
There was a black batiste gown shown ] n
one place on which there Was a succession
of founces not only covering the skirt,
but also the blouse and the sleeves. Each
ruffle was edged with a row of half inch
white valenciennes lace. The ruffles were
graduated SO that while those near the
bottom were 4 and 5 inches wide those on
the waist and sleeves were but an inch,
lace and all. The belt was of ruby velvet
and the stock of the same, with a lace frill
at the back.
This is but one of many gowns ruf1ed
from hem to neck, though more than half
of them have the rufJes set apart just the
width of the ruffle. This is very pleasing
and in the case of silks and grenadines
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1898-04-16

gives a lighter appearance. But While
founces and ruffies are SO very popular
they are not put upon all gowns by any
means. Braiding is still exceedingly fash
ionable, and where the gown trimmed
with braid is in a color a most artistic
effect is produced by having braid of two
or more shades of the same color wrought
upon it. Black braid looks we'll on every
thing, even the white duck, crash and
pique suits, and it also shows up richly on
black.
Very pretty designs in soutache and 9th
er widths and kinds of braid are sewed to-
gether all ready for application. There is
generally one portion prepared for the
front of the blouse or basque and another
for the front breadths. These vary in sizs
and elaborateness, but are all handsome,
and they are not SO very expensive. Dainty
loopings with fastenings and button ball
tassels are made of white corset tape for
cotton gowns and for the white linen.
Ecru nankeen is among the new stuffs
for summer suits and ecru ribbed and
corded cotton. Checked linen is very hand
some when suitably made-that is, when
it is treated in every way as though of the
finest quality of silk or other expensive
material.
One model of this kind of gown had
the skirt cut with the front breadth entire
and all the rest cut off at the knees with
q rounded corner. To this was sewed a
gathered flounce with a piping between.
The waist was in blouse form. with inset
folds of white linen. Frogs and loops Of
white cotton cord held the checked folds
together over the white ones. There were

Lansing made her case public.
Rev. O. Raymond Howe was the pastor
Of the Westville Congregational church.
He is not any longer, as he was forced out
of office by his parishioners. AT the very
start a number Of them were opposed to
him because of this mysterious power,
which, they say, no was always trying to
exercise, and their numbers grew and
grew until they became a majority of tho
congregation and we're able to force the
selection Of a new pastor.
Nellie Lansing was employed by the
minister in July, 1896, ito help with the
work" According to her story almost
from the first day Of her stay in the Howe
household she noticed that the minister
seemed to exercise a strange power over
her. She felt helpless when his eyes were
upon her. According to the girls story.

HEROIC JOHN PHILLIPS.
a Pension ELL Recalls a Tragic Act of
Self Sacrifice.

q Pension Bill Recalls a Tragic ACT OF
Self Sacrifice.
A recent pension bill recalls the heroic
nct OF John Phillips, who lost his life in
saving the garrison of Fort Phil Kearny
from massacre by Indians. On the 21st
day of December, 1866, Fort Phil Kearny,
commanded by Colonel Fl. B. Darlington,
located under the shadow of the Big Horn
mountain and over 900 miles from the
nearest telegraph line, was the extreme
outpost in that part of the northwest. The
savage Sioux, under Red Cloud, had been
lowering in the vicinity of the post for
some time and had been seen in large
ulnbers ON Tongue river, northwest of
the fort.
The bloodthirsty Sioux we're command
ed by Red Cloud and outnumbered the
garrison by 90 to /. They surrounded the
fort and an attack was hourly expected.
It was we'll understood by the garrison
that If the Indians were successful in tax
ing the fort It meant death for each and
every one. Realizing the terrible fate
that awaited them the women and chill
dren begged piteously to be- placed in the
powder house and be blown up in case of
a successful attack from the Indians.
At this j~uncture when brave men felt
that the only possible hope for the garri-
son was in sending news OF their belea-
guerment to the nearest outside post and
not a soldier could be found who would
brave the attempt to break through the
savages and ride to the nearest outpost, a
distance of 225 miles, John Phillips, a
hardy scout and hunter, volunteered to
take dispatches to Fort Laramie. Placing
a few biscuits in his pocket, tying on his
saddle a small quantity of feed for his
mount, he quietly left the post at mid
night ON the night succeeding the mas
sacre and by hare riding and escaping
many perils on the way he succeeded in
reaching Fort Laramie five days later.
The country across which he Q was abb
s~olutely uninhabited by white men, and
the ground was covered with snow from
three to five feet in depth.
His sufferings win never be told. Thu
weather was exceedingly cold, the ther-
mometer reaching 20 degrees below zero.
When Phillips delivered the dispatches at
Fort Laramie, hardy, brave frontiersman
as he was, he fell in q dead faint. Imme-
diately upon receipt of these dispatches
troops were forwarded from Fort Laramie,
and the garrison at Fort Phil Kearny was
relieved. subsequently Phillips became a
fully naturalized citizen of the United
States. He was now broken in health by
the exposure and strain Of his long and
p~erilous ride. One night, feeling that his
end was near, he called to his bedside his
wife and child. Taking the hand of each,
he pulled them Eearer to him. They heard
him family whisper, II did the best 7
couJd.'' And he was dead.

flock to the country and go in largely for
onion growing. But the law provides that
If a woman marries a foreigner she shall
not only lose her landed property, but
shall also become incapable of inheriting
any. This law is naturally not popular
with the ladies, who see their brothers
mate with Americans and other aliens,
and would fam have the same liberty. Oc-
casionally Bermudan girls renounce their
birthrights for loves sake; but, as a rule,
the charms of penniless maidens are no
sufficient for young men to desire them
for wives, and thus many girls remain I'M
married in Bermuda simply by the law OF
the land.
st nave often wondered why busy wo-
men do not more generally use stamped
envelopes instead of wasting time and
energy searching for postage n then
pasting them on their letters said the
secretary of a woman's club the other
day. 1.-THE envelopes come in several
sizes and shapes and are rather orna-
mental thar otherwise. Business men
revel in them, but women don't seem to
appreciate the thoughtfulness for their
comfort of a p~aternal government, and
ignore the stamped envelope"
'Well, they are appreciated in Eng
land,' spoke up another club member
only the other day I received a letter
from my sister in London. The letter
was enclosed in one of her own envelopes
with her IN the flap, but 1t
was stamped with the pink stamp only
seen on Government envelopes. In the
letter she inquired how I liked her off
cial paper and said that she had dis
covered tina if a sufficient lumber of
ones W envelopes were sent to the gem
eral postofice they would be stamped at
the ordinary penny postage rate"
Six clever women almost grew hysteri-
cal with joy over the statement of a
leading lawyer Qt wouldn't be fair to
name HIND at a small early Lenten din
ner. He confessed that he never could
remember how much 5 times 8 was. He
always had to say 7 times s, then add 8
