Never in the history of man or woman
have there been so many and such fascinat-
ing things for the neck displayed in the
shops as at the present time The woman
who cannot find something becoming
amongst the variety must be exceedingly
plain. All during the winter there have
been ties of bright ribbon shown, long
enough to go once around the neck and tie
in front in slip-knot. These have fringe
at the end, and are very effective but such
qualities of them are to be seen now that it
Is a question whether they will be among
the smart things during the summer. How
ever, they are extremely pretty. and, as a
RUE, are not expensive. The bright Roman
Colors are very much used, as are the fig
ured ribbons and some plain taffetas with
pretty edges. One of taffeta has an edge
that looks like ermine; another has a chine
finish with shaded rose buds. Even the
plain ribbons are to be used in this style of
neckwear-the plain satins and the taffetas,
and with a black satin waist for general
wear a black satin tie looks very we'll, but
of course ueeas II little inside ruche of
white, because dead black against the skin
is very rarely becoming. To wear with the
new tatfeta waists are most charming
stockholders made of tucked taffeta the
shade of the waist, and edged with white
taffeta put on with hemstitching. These
stockholders all tie in front with a big
double bow-knot and no ends. Made of
chiffon, mousseline de sole and such thin
materials, including fine nets and gauzes
are dainty little collars and CUTS suitable
TO wear with light gowns These are very
perishable but extremely becoming. They
are never cheap, and yet there will be
great many of them ceen, for it is fashion
1T will he hard to resist. There is a perfect
craze for white ties, and certainly they look
most effective worn with light waists and
showing when the coats are thrown open
Some are of net with lace ends but the
greater number are of the sprigged net with
lace to match. Some are made of two
pieces of lace sewed together and then an
other piece across the ends, the joining
hidden by narrow baby-llnen. The best
length is two yards, and half yard the
best width. They are then long enough to
go around the neck once and tie in a good
sized bow with long ends. These can easily
be made at home. and any woman who goes
in for wearing them will need to have sew
eral as they so soon SOIL and, of course,
cannot be worn If they look the least tum-
bled or shabby Besides the neckties there
are a great many bows to wear at the
throat. These are of thin material like
chiffon, etc, and are also trimmed with
lace or else have the ends made of the
very closely pieated chiffon with a ruche on
the edge This gives a full, soft and fluffy
effect. Real lace is very much used to trim
theee ties, but there are also great many
limitations which are fine and pretty enough
for ordinary wear.

King Philip had Wanted his claims;
He had sworn for year he would sack us;
With an army of heathenish names
He was coming to fagot and stack us;
Like the thieves of the sea he would track us,
And shatter, ships on the main;
But we had bold Neptune to back
And where are the galleons of Spain?
His carackens were christened Of danes
To the kirtles whereof he would tack us;
With his saints and his gilded stern frames
He had thought like an eggshell to crack US;
Now Howard may get to his Flaccus,
And Drake to his Devon again.
And Hawkins bowl rubbers to Bacchus-
For where are the galleons of Spain?
Let his Majesty hang to st. James
The that he whetted to hack us:
He must play at some lustier games
Or at he can hope to outthwack usI
To his mines Of Peru he would pack US
To tug at his bullet and chain;
Alas that His Greatness should lack Ts!-
But where are the galleons of Spain?
Envoy
Gloriana!-the Don may attack us
Whenever mis- stomach be fain;
He must reach us before he can rack us,
And where are the galleonS Of Spain?

The Low-Necked Dress.

Philadelphia Times.
The furore which certain Washington
women have raised by invading established
customs and wearing low-necked dresses at
o'clock tea has extended far beyond the
capital and caused no little perturbation in
the minds of some women who look in that
direction for the social usages they follow.
1t is scarcely likely that Philadelphia will
follow the example. The fate Of a social
struggler who some time ago, to impress
one of the great ladies of the town whp
deigned to call upon her, kept her gueaE
waiting at least three-quarters of an ho1f
while she attired herself in ball toilet, with
jewels around her neck on her arms and a
diamond crown on her head, is too well
known to permit even of a trial. True,
many years ago it was fashionable for the
women in smart society to wear full even
ing dress at afternC on functiODs-that S, the
hostess debut it was purely American
custom, which called forth so much ridicule
from foreigners to whom the sight of sew
eral women in evening dress surrounded by
a crowd in street dress appeared so ex-
tremely ridiculous that the custom was
gradually abandoned, and there is now but
little probability of a return to 1t. The same
informality, it should be said, has extended
to mems attire, and where few years
ago it was regarded a frightful faux pas
for a man to go to an afternoon entertain
ment in anything but frock coat, the
rigors of such code have weakened in the
desire to have the men rather than their
coats when it was realized that such a
necessity made it almost impossible for
business men to go to such entertainments.

BLEEDING GTHEPEOPLE,SB BANK
 TOSAVE THE. PACIFIC.

Attorney General Hart had acted most shamefully, but 1t seemed as if the Bank Commissioners. for the sake of their own personal honor, would not permit him to delay longer. For these reasons R. H. Mcdonald Jr., caged like a. rat behind the screened counters of the Pacific Bank, dispatched to his brother Frank series of most inter- esting cipher telegrams. The cipher used by R. H. Mcdonald Jr. was verys simple one and at the same time most effective one. He would write out each dispatch In full, then divide it into two parts, sending every alternate word by one of the two great telegraph companies and the other word by the other telegraph company. Or, to put it more plainly. the irst word of the dispatch was sent by the Western Un-. ion Telegraph Company and the sec- ond word by the Postal Telegraph Company, and so on in attenuation to the end.

The Savings Institution Was BIed to Save the Pa
 CifiC.
When Disaster Threatened Frank Was Ordered to Handle the. Savings Bank or
 Hang Himself.

.. The startling expose of the wreckers of the Pacific Bank and the Peoples Bank which The Call published yesteT- day morning has created widespread interest. For the first time since the ruin of the banks the public has learned of the existence of the gigantic con- spiracy that destroyed the institutions. Every one of the 13,0 900 depositors in the Peoples Home Savings Bank is vitally interested in knowing that the wreckers did not squander the money of the peo- pie from lack of judgment, but de- 1iberately stole 1t. It Is this proof that The Call intends to establish in order that the robbed depositors may recover some of their stolen property and that the robbers may be punished for their crimes. In the establishment of this proof the record of the guilt of R. H. Mcdonald Jr. naturally comes first. The crime of this man is established in his own, handwriting, in cipher dis patches that were written long. after the banks were ruined, but before they had closed their doors.
 In the startling correspondence of the wreckers of the Pacific Bank the let Iers of Richard Hs Mcdonald Jr. have, with very few exceptions, little import ance in themselves Dicks letters are reflected far more thoroughly in the re- markable answers he received from his father. his brother and the parasites that surrounded the, Mcdonald family. Even after the father. had fled from this State and. Frank Mcdonald, D. s. Dorn, M II. Sherman, w. H: Eastland. D. NJ. Tombiin, George M. Mitchell and others were touring the continent and inyad- ing even London and Paris in "a wild search for money. the letters of Dick are still reflected better in the answers he received. It was only when the banks were actually .crumbling, when disaster was inevitable, that <. Richard H. Mcdonald Jr. entered the rcorre- gpondence as a criminal Tn cipher dis patches written shortly before. the banks went down Dick Mcdonald ex- pressed his desperation, his terror and his torment of mind and begged. his brother Frank not to neglect him in the hour of need, but to give him one last opportunity to be a thief. =:

Mcdonald Jr. is perhaps the strangest figure in the strange coterie that ruined the two:'' big San Francisco banking institutions He had the widest dreams of unnatural hnance-the most peculiar notions of banking success. sffoated through his brain.

If these avenues were closed Dick declared that he would demand the amount from Farnum. the manager of the Peoples Bank.

as his attorney and permitted Dorn to enter into almost every crazy scheme of the bank because Dorn promised to make him Governor of the State of California
 In 1892 the attorney had some polit ical influence and suggested to Dick that in that campaign they capture the School Board of this city and use 1t as. a lever to gain the influence of every school teacher and through them a power that certainly would be felt in
 the gubernatoEial campaign of 1884,
 Dorn went so far in his scheme as to secure the nomination of A. F. Johns and James A. Pariser, who was then at the head: of the San Francisco Printing Company; another expensive luxury of Dick Mcdonald that the depositors paid for. These candidates and others,
 fortunately for the community. were
 defeated. Dick. Mcdonald then had other schemes Of political and financial ambition He bought the Panorama. at Eddy and Jones streets, to illustrate himself He purchased sfereopticons at great cost, and under a mask of sanctity loaned them to ministers and congregations in order that his pie ture might be projected on the screens to admiring throngs as the coming man of affairs in California. He hired Pro- lessor Holder ostensibly as an editor, and then used him to make an. over. draft; of. s135, 900. and to act as a go- between for him with politicians. All of this cost money.
