Clothes to Match the Eyes.

Have you never learned that the best
dressed women are those who wear
clothes to match the color of their
eyes? 1t is fact that this is usually
the most becoming color to every one.
A girl with gray eyes never looks so
well as in gray gown. and girl with
blue eyes appears her best in blue.

Bishop spaiding Opposed to the aIIianc,

Bishop Spalding, of this Roman
Catholic diocese, is opposed to the
proposed Anglo-American alliance.
His statement to the New York Her.
aid is as follows:
To the Editor of the Herald: Our
history, our true and permanent in
terests. as well as our providential
mission rs people, should prevent
us from entering into an alliance with
any European states in developing the
field which we have on this side of the
Atlantic. and in finding proper So
luton for the grave political and So
cial problems by which we are con-
fronted. We have a work vaster than
has ever before been given one people
to do, and which, If rightly done, will
insure to the benefit not of ourselves
alone, but OF mankind.
IF we enter into an alliance with
Great Britain we shall be drawn away
from our proper business into the
wars and revolutions which threaten
Europe. We shall become great
military power, and in becoming such
we shall not only lose the spirit which
animated our fathers in founding
the republic. but we shall lose the
ability to maintain the union of the
states. J. l.. SrALDING.

BEHRlNG SEA MATTER.
Don M. Dickinson Confers With
Former Ambassador Bayard.
SEEKING MR.. BAYARD's COUNSEL

THE EX-POSTAlASTER GENERAL
is SENIOR COUNSEL FOR THE
UNITED STATES IN THE GREAT
CONTROVERSY BETWEEN AMER
ICA AND ENGLAND.
Don M. Dickinson, who was post
master-general during ex-President
Cleveland's first term, was the guest of
former Ambassador Bayard yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Dickinson is stnior
counsel for the United States in the
Behring Sea controversy between
America and England. The dispute be-
tween the two countries first arose dur
ing the Cleveland administration, when
Mr.. Bayard was secretary Of state. The
former ambassador to the Court of st.
James had full charge of the negotia-
tions in the affair, and Mr.. Dickinson's
visit. besides being one of social inter
est. was one of business as well.
Mr.. Dickinson, in an interview with
an Evening Journal man this morning
at the p, w. & b. railroad station,
said that, as Mr.. Bayard was well ac-
Quainted with the case, he called to see
him regarding a few questions pertain
ing to the controversy. Just what con-
| clusions were reached in the matter he
would not say. He was accompanied
by Mrs. Bayard and his private secre-
tary, M. Tomato, a Japanese. He left
| for New York at 121. Mr.. Dickinson
lives in Detroit
| The long-pending Behring sea case
has been an object Of much interest,
and argument between the two Eng
| Iish speaking countries, and has re-
suited in strained relations. The com
missioners in the case for America are
men of good judgment, and il is pre-
dicted that an amicable settlement will
end the much-mooted question.
The English have followed Mr.. Bay
ards policy as drawn by that official
when in office, and the advice Of the
ex-ambassador is much sought by both
sides.
Mr.. Bayard is suffering from the in.
