FASHIONS MIRROR
In which May BE Seen the various
Componenta OF the Seasons
Contumes.

Tinted horse chestnut blossoms are
very prettily worn on biege-colored
beach hats Of Milan braid trimmed
with fcelle lace and brown satin rib
bon.
All shades of gray are to be used this
year for walking and visiting dresses.
Fawn tints and light brown are also
popular. In brighter colors purple,
nacelle blue and SQUIRE "a deep or
nnge) are favorites.
For children's wear organdie dresses
nre fashionable this season, and ali
dresses Of sheer fabrics gre extremely
popular. Linen suits sell well, and
there is an unabated demand for ging-
ham and percale.
Some of the most beautiful goods in
the elegant outfits for the summer are
the French and India muslins, and the
daiptiest sort of evening gowns, as
well as those for dressy afternoon
wear, are made OF batiste, especially
in lowered cream white with trim
mings of cream lace. Some of the
fashionably made gowns have the mus
lin or batiste Skirt hung over a second
one of plain organdie, the tint of the
background of the dress fabric. The
sll1Bt is cut exactly like the outside
ons, and either plainly hemmed or
finished with lace-edged ruffie. The
silk underslip is worn beneath. This
arrangement is followed when a very
airy effect is desired. In other cases
the silk slip alone is used.
The shirt waist still continues to be
worn with skirts of every matrial.
The lawn shirt waists are pretty and
aressy over silk or muslin waists of
red, pink or blue.
Belts Of white leather and other
shades with fancy buckles are much
favored
For the early autumn there are
shown some pretty Paquin coat mod
els in silk or satin, slightly longer than
the spring and summer shapes, cut
either IN continuous lengths from neck
to hem or finished with applied
basques. These coats are rounded on
the fronts, buttoned on the left side,
and then sloped away to show q full,
slightly pouched blouse vest from be-
low the bust to the belt.
Plaid muslins are found In lovely
combinations, such as pink and cream,
apple green and white, and black and
white. Two beautiful and uncommon
designs recently seen were pale hello
trope with two shades Of pink, and a
deep yellow containing touch of or
ange combined with cream.
Leather belts are now universally
worn. They are made with purse and
satchel attachments and are both con
Venient and useful for bIcyelists and
travellers. The Boston bag is still a
tavorite for short trips as 1t is light
and commodious.
Many of the pretty silk, crepe de
chine and yelling dresses are finished
with three tiny frills Of ribbon, lap
ping each other, and gathered mod
erately full. These frills, though mo-
novelties, are newer than those made
of the dress goods, and they are giveI
n novel effect by the deft manner II
which they are adjusted, and by the
beauty of the various two-toned ol
double-faced ribbons used II the frill:
are made bit too wide the effect Is
spoiled. They must not measure, al
told, more than three inches; there
fore, ribbons a trifle over an inch wild,
are the proper selection.-Bostor

The Delaware Peace Society's infu-
ence does not weigh for much, one way
or the other, because OF the organiDa-
tion's limited membership, infrequent
meetings and hy- reason Of the addi-
tional fact that it is almost invariably
on the unpopular side OF great public
questions. StiA, to be consistent, It
could not do otherwise than condemn
the war with Spain and congratulate
the car OF Russia for promuigating
his peace circular. In spite OF the So
ciety the war has been bought 70 a
successful issue, and the nations OF
Europe are regarding with openly-ex-
pressed distrust the pacific utterances
OF Nicholas. The Dela-Sre Peace So
ciety is for peace at any price, and in
dealing with the Russian autocrat II
takes his circular at its face value and
does not read bStween the lines OF 60
beneath the surface to look for mo-
tives. Talleyrand, the eminent French
statesman, asserted, many Jeans ago
that words were invented to conceal
thoughts. The car may have acted
on that principle. Many Of the lead
ing students OF European politics be-
lieve that he did, but that makes NJ
difference to the Delaware Peace So
. city. Being guileless itself, 1t take
him at his word and congratulates hin
accordingly II the car ever hears o
It he may be pleased; II not, no harm
is done. It is not likely that the frame
Of the resolution oondemning our wa
with Spain will be tried for treaso'
here or knighted in the land OF IN
don. We are glad to note that the Sc
ciety is both consistent and Harmless:

THE MEETUNG's PURPOSE.

The joint meeting Of Regular Repub-
licans and Addicksites In this city this
evening goes farther than the mere no
tihcation OF the fusion candidates for
congressman, state treasurer and audi
tor OF accounts. 1t Is intended to Inn
press upon the public that the two fac
tions are really united. Those men
instrumental in patching up har-
mony ticket have used every EFFORT
TO make the meeting as representative
OF the old warning factions as possible.
BY this means they hope to deceive
the Republican voters as to the depth
Of the friendly feeling and thereby In
duce them to swing into line for the
election OF the ticket 80 set up. We
may expect to hear great deal OF
vaporing, many words Of apology and
contrition for past conditions and
earnest assurances Of unity in the fl-
ture. But they will be mere words
The old spirit OF antagonism will be
there and later on in the canvass 40
tions will count much more powerfully
than promises made to the ear 10 be
broken to the hope" There 0'e hum
dreds OF Republicans who will never
vote the mongrel ticket put In the
field at the dlctation OF the want-to-
win element. There are Republicans
who are possessed OF convictions and
principles which they win not sur
render at the dictation OF any set OF
leaders who have prostituted them
selves and their party by entering into
a shameless deal after sacrificing every
principle enunciated in the past. These
are the voters who will place upon the
ticket OF harmony and dishonor the
seal OF disapproval and coedemnatiqn.

What a Ron Eats.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer,

Among the many interesting animals at
the geological gardens is the large tree
boa, occupying the glass cage to be left
as you enter the carnivoPa building. This
is one of the finest specimens in the United
States. This species of snake is very
scarce and difficult to capture. 1t was sent
to the gardens about a year ago from
South America, where 1t was captured
by some of the natives. 1t had just fed
on a deer and was found lying dormant
in the woods The boa is said to be about
thirty-five or forty years old Is twenty
three feet long and weighs 1876 pounds
Superintendent Stephan of the gardens,
showing the snake to a reporter the other
day. said He has just had his dinner,
and seems to be quite comfortable. He
usually feeds every three or four weeks,
and then l have hard time to make him
eat. You see, boas feed mostly on live
animals, and it is difficult to keep them On
any other food. Ii is against their nature
to eat beef or dead animals.
THE humane society objects TO the feed
ing of live animals to reptiles, and hence,
in compliance with its rules, I put each
animal to death before feeding the same
to the snakes. This boa had not been fed
for seven weeks, and | thought he must
be quite hungry. So we decided TO let
him feed on a pug dog that we happened
to nave at the gardens.
Some time ago a woman came to me
with a pet dog. He was afflicted with
some kind of a disease and was getting
blind. She hated to part with her pet
hut as he had been informed by several
people that here was no hope for the ami
NAL she decided to let the humane So
ciety end his suffering. 1 said / would
take care of him and see that the animal
was put to death Immediately. The dog
was put in an air-tight box filed with gas
so as 10 suffocate him. In a few seconds
he was no more. This is what our boa
has lust dined on. | put the dog in the
cage Immediately, and the snake, having
a good appetite, made a start for It. The
dog made quites a square meal, weighing
about eighteen pounds. Having feasted
the boa curled himself UP into nice coil
and took a long nap. This will do him
for some time, until we find some new
rnenu for him."

THE CRIsTOBAL COLON.
How Constructor Hobson VIII Right
and RnIse Her.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
Playa del Este, Cuba, Sept 2S,-T saw
Naval Constructor Hobeon on the tug
Chapman to-day. He is living there, quar-
entined, but not ill., Asked if he aban-
doned work on the Cristobal Colon, he
said:
mo. indeed. I have every hope of get
ting her off if the government Will fur
nish men and machinery. l will not come
North unless 1 bring her with me-"
Mr. Hobson declares the saving of the
Colon means more engineering than
wrecking. She lies on her starboard beam
ends, her stern on a steep, rocky beach
She is afloat from amidships forward. He
viii camp an engineer force ashore and
build suspension bridge to the ship, with
travellers on overhead cables in order to
transfer heavy weights to shore
Pumps and boilers will be used to ship
air bags under her deck on the port side
forward and raise the bow even with The
stern. Then he will swing the ship broad
side to the beach and right her to patch
her holes and pump her out.
Mr.. HobsOn told me nothing but a gale
could spoil his plans. Engineers are
wanted Immediately. Forty air bags came
to-day for use on the other ships. Hob
son left for the wrecks of the Almiraate
Orquendo and Viscaya to-day to remove
the formers guns to the Leonidas and to
make a final inspection of the Viscaya. He
hopes to save her also.
The cost of saving the Teresa cannot be
estimated on account of the wreckers
slow work before Mr. Hobson arrived.
Mr.. Hobson found no method had been
used. He divided the ship into seven sec
tons. Beginning aft, he and the wreck
ing captains, in diving suits, located the
holes in the arch section and stopped
them. They then flooded the section to
locate the inside leaks. In each section
the same plan was followed at every step
and in three weeks the ship was ready
to be moved.
One hundred former Cuban and Span
ish soldiers are working amicably as Ia
borers on the Teresa, cleaning her hull
and engines and building decks, under the
management of Capt Harris, of the Vul-
can Machinsts of the Vulcan are over
hauling the engines Of the gunboat San
doval. Repairs on her are rapidly pro
crossing. Lieut. Anderson hopes to have
her in commission in two weeks.
