The Return Of the Shirt Waist.

Shirt waists Of plain solid color are
varied with bands Of embroidered inser-
tior or heavy bands Of lace, running up
and down or crosswise as the figure may
demand, and many Of them have biased
bands cuffs and collar Of plaided or
striped material. Others OF plain. solid
colored material have Vuffs. collar and
front box plsit of polkA spot material,
in which case plain white tie tinistes
short ut the neck. and a halt OF white is
worn. Cotton oheviot pique in all COL
ors, duck aud fine ginghsm are the popu-
lar wash materials for general wear.
Stripes are very modish Ia shirt waists
this year, and most Of them run around
instead of up and down. Bias plaids
are also much used, aud are very smart
looking, hut must always be worn with
skirts of plain, solid color. Tucks are
used in every conceivable way on shirt
waists OF all materials, and are applied
up and down, across. zlgzaG. slantinR,
in clusters or regulation Spaces, as fancy
or figure dictates. Sleeves are smaller
than they were last year. and the cuffs
in many cases are attached. Even where
the fronts cannot be called real blouss
they pouch a little, and the gathers ex-
tend almost the entire length OF the
shoulder instead of being all directly In
the front.
>The black satin shirt waist though
worn much during the winter. Is ire
pressibIe and is continually developing
some new feature. For travelling, this
waist is decidedly the most stylish and
durable, shedding the dust and cinders.
While many Of the wrists have detaoh-
able collars and cuffs to math, the white
liusu ones will be as much worn as ever.
Belts there are in all varieties; solid gold
belts studded with precious ano semi.

silk ana leather belts, with gorgeous
metal and jsweled buckles. and cnsmeied

WHAT BOSTON EDITORS SAT-.
Business of This Country to Promote
Human Freedom.

Boston. April 1.-The Boston Post
holds: For the United States to take
any step whatever to deprive the Cuban
revolutionists Of the fruits Of their long
and persistent struggles for liberty, for
which so much Cuban blood has been
shed and so many thousand Cuban lives
sacrificed, would be a proceeding dis
graceful beyond all conception. We do
not believe IL would be tolerated by the
American people. For our part. we
think IL is the business of this country
to promote the cause of human freedom:
but to place any impediment in it's way
would be to be false to all our traditions.
To intimate that President Mckinley
has any such idea Is q gratuitous insult
to him."
Intervention. active, emphatic" The
Journal Insists. rs the policy to which
the presidents mind Is made UP. II
Spain yields, IL must be between today
and Monday. for 10 all intents and pur-
poses President Mckinley has already
delivered his ultimatum'
The Advertiser treats of Spain's case
az argued by the minister In Washing
ton as follows: THE American people
agree with the Spanish minister that TO
appeal to war unnecessarily would be
too wanton. too criminal too offensive
To all the dictates of civilization and
christianity but IL war comes II will
only be because Spain shall have ig-
nored all the dictates Of civilization and
christianity. Not one step has the
United States taken that has not been
made absolutely necessary by the brutal
indifference of the Spani qovern m ap .
In Cuba to all the appeals OF civilization
and christianity"
The Globe says: stand by the
president may be good advice. but some
people are having hard work TO find out
lust where the president stands prepara-
tory to taking up,their position by him. .

BICYCLE HATS.
One Million Dollars an Hour.

The new model American mortar bat
presents many novelties, we might say.
in the art of ordnance hitherto as yet un-
practiced. ~..
When the sixty mortars are fired at
once. as is the design, Sandy Hook will
be new rival to Vesuvius. And as each
shot Is twelve inches in diameter and
weighs half ton, one can see what an
annoying thing 1t will be for on eneny's
fest to encounter our motars on sum
mer's day. These barriers" are to be
put i'm one circuit and freu from armored
turrets placed In out-ofthe way localities
that command a full view of the ap
proacnss to New York harbor from the
sea. And as the channels are spaced of
Into imaginary squares, the officer with
his plane tables and range-fnder. simply
follows the enemy's boats with his tele-
scope. When his instrument locates the
fleet on certain square the telescope con-
nects circuit that fires pit previously
ranged on that certain square. AS these
pits are deep in sand, surrounded by nat
nral scenery, It Is hard evan for Sandy
Hook officer to 20 of shore and locate
one. The only weak spot is the Atlantic
Highlands from which, IL an enemy
should capture 1t, the shslling Of the
Hook could be done. But to take the
HIGHLANDS would be very difficult.
1t Is intended that the mortar shells
shall be fred into the air aU such ang ls
that they will drop upon ths enemy's
decks. No ship has as yet teen built that
can resist such an attack.
Curiously enough. after they have teen
fired you suddenly soc them at great
height. sailing along together like a flock
of geese TThey as suddenly d:ssppear IN
