OPERA CLOAKS AND EVENING
 WRAPS.

Among the newest cloaks that have been brought ovar as yet are those cf the expensive kinds of silk. and the designs are as perfect as if done by hand. Some Of them, in fact, are hand painted. A white satin has large vel low holweTs upon it, all painted by hand; another has sprays of purple iris, and So beautifully executed that there is nothing crude about it. The general shape of all the cloalzs is the same-a rounded circular which cones together at the throat, and then grad ually bTOadens away to the ham of the skirt. All are trimmed with ruffieS of lace, generally two CT thr1e ruffies, one over the ether, and often the ruff1ss have for heading a band Of fur. There is always very high faring collar CT ruffie around the neck, with a large bow a. the throat, and long ends edged with lace. While the white ground is the color most often ssen, there are scme exceedingly smart cloaks made with black ground and bright flowers.
 Thcre are some very dainty short capes made On the same style, with as little breadth as possible across the shoulders, and giving the effect of be- ing held together in frcnt It is a very old fashion, but one that is none the less dainty and attractive. These capes are comparatively inexpensive, and are made of the bTocaded silk as well as the fi0wsred cnes that were las. year made up for waists. The cheaper capes are trimmed with rufIies of the silk and only one CT two ruffies Of lace

All the country around was on the aut vive and everybody wanted 10 see his royal highness. Out in Natick, a few miles from Boston, man named Barnes kept a hotel. Barnes was good natured and stuttered badly, so he was considered a proper mark for the jckes of the wags thereabcut- The day before the big parade in Boston Barnes announced his intention of going in to see the prince
 Whats the use of doing that?' said 9 bystandsr. You can't get near him, and probably would not be able even to get glimpse Of his highness.

 Here was Barnes opportunity and he was not slow to take advantage Of it. He darted under the ropes, dodged by a policeman and was one Of the first to grasp the bridle Of the prarc- ing horse.

that the delay was entirely due to the opposition of Lord Wolss1ey, the com mander-in-chief of the British army, and that Lord Salisbury, the premier, had quite a serious alteration with Wolseley about the matter.
 This is not the first battle by any means that Lord Salisbury has had to fight with the war department on Kitchener's account. Only few months back, before the last advance up the Nile took place, Lord Wo!saiey insisted that the command Of the ex- petition should be transferred to some other hands than those CT Kitchener. taking the ground that the latter was too young, both as regards aga and military seniority. to be intrusted with such an important command. Lord CrC mer. who was ill London at the time, however, threatened Lord Salisbury with is own resignation of British resident at Cairo if Kitchener were, through war department jealousy, de- prived Of the privilege of reaping the harvest and the fruits of his ten years of labor in the Soudan, and according ly Lord Salisbury put his foot down, and forced Field Marshal Lord Wolse- ley and the other officials Of the war department tc, give way. Wolseley was fer 50 long regarded as England's cniy general that he bitterly resents the success of any cCmrade whose lau- rels seem destined to throw into the shade his own. His jealousy of Lord Roberts, the hero. of that celebrated march, the Candahar, Is notorious, and he naturally feels sour against Kitch- ener, whose brilliant success in the Soudan compares so favorably with the fiasco of his own costly attempt to rescue Gordon in 1885. Moreover. he cannot relish the hopes that are pub licly expressed on every side that place may be found for Kitchener at the war department. with a view to the reorganization of which it stands in So sore need-Marquise de Fontenoy In Washington Post.
