INGERSOLL'S IDEA OF EASTER.

1t is interesting to know that Colonel
Robert G.. Ingersoll does. in common with
all the Christian world. put on some
thing new at Easter. 1t is usually
gayly colored craVat. Probably he is as
anxious as his fellow men to assuaSe
good fortune for the coming year. or
perhaps he is afraid of the birds which
will it is popularity believed. spoil ones
clothes unless the condition of some
thing new is fulfilled. Poor Robin al
ludes to this saying:
At Easter let your clothes he new,
Or else be sure you will il rue.

ally spends the day surrounded by a
little coterie of his friends. where he is
the dominant spirit. The others but
throw out bait for his keen repartee.
Perhaps this very nimbleness of wit is
responsible in measure for the mold
ing of his career.
When Colonel Ingersoll was a young
man in Peoria, Ills, he broke away from
the blue Presbyterianism of his family
and surrounded himself with a group of
young men that looked to him for intel
Iectual leadership. Their views. which

every week a new and more alluring
form, adds something novel to its dec
orations and so keeps the feminine
public faithful at its shrine.
The novelty of novelties is a shirt of
thin taffeta in a pale tint barred with
hair lines of white and bands of chine
flowers. The shape is commonplace,

knotted under the chin in a bowknot

many of this pattern of shirt are made
to be worn with the tail outside. and
the tail is cut in coquettish scallops or
points or long leaf-shaped tags.

did not owe its erection to any especial

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

New York Press: At some time in her
life every girl has just as good as pro-
posed to some man.
Ask any girl if she believes in love. and
the first thing she will say is to ask why
you ask.
After a girl has once been kissed by a
man she always takes a long breath be-
fore she does it again.
A woman never realizes how lacking
other women are till she tries to think
which ones of them would be worthy of
her husband.
It's FUNNY that the men don't kick at
the women's wearing big hats in church
the way they do when they wear them
to the theatre.

CONGRESS TO MAKE THE
FORMAL DECREE.
A MESSAGE TO CONGRESS-
spain Answers Our Ultimatum-It Is
Formally Accepted as "a Declaration
OF war-No Additional News
OF the spanish Fleets Move
ment at Cadiz or Cape
Verde Islands.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-A resolution
formally declaring war against Spain
will be introduced in the Congress of
the United States to-day. The decis'
ion TO do so has been reached after
mature deliberation in order TO safe
rusrd the interests of the United
states.
The President will send a message
to Congress, setting forth the facts in
the case, and asking Congress for
mally 10 declare war in order that
there may be no Misunderstanding on
the part Of other nations
The most important point in the
message, will be the announcement
that Spain has made formal reply to
our ultimatum. This reply has not
been given TO the public, and 1t was
supposed that none had been received.
The document is formal ac-
acknowledgement by Spain, and also an
.acceptaL e by that country OF the
.ulthhatum as virtul' declaratio of
war. Congress will, therefore be
asked TO recognize this condition Of af-
fairs and to declare it to the world,
using Spain's concession as a reason
for it,
The war resolution has been pre-
pared and it. is understood that the
two committees having charge Of the
foreign affairs of the two Houses of
Congress will be prepared TO report
on it very shortly-probably immedi-
ately after the reading of the mes
sage. An effort will then be made to
have the resolution taken up and
passed forthwith, and it is not now be-
lieved that there will be am formid-
able opposition to this course in either
House.
1t was said at the navy department
that no additional information had
been received of the movements of the
Spanish fleets rendezvoused at Cadiz
and at the Cape de Verde islands
Every step taken by these fleets is
promptly reported TO the department
by the agents abroad.

Cuban Military Campaign.
WASHINGTON, April %. Secretary
Sherman said yesterday that it was
his expectation that for the present

army would do the greater part OF the
fighting in Cuba.
lie added the statement that there
was nointention of taking the militia
men and new recruits into Cuba until
thoroughly Injured TO the hardships Of
actual military life, and that probably
the regulars would also be held in
this country until later in the sea-
son. The secretary expressed the
opinion that Admiral Sampson's
fleet would take the first OPP
portunity to form junction
with Gomez's army, and that there
would thenceforth be perfect cooper
atom between those two organizations
in conducting the war against the
common enemy "Ghe insurgents are
the best men for this service at pres
