B-ItS and Buttons.

Every day sees something new in
belts. Those made of patent leather
are fetching with spring tailOr-made
gowns. The SWEETEST are made of
halt-inch strips of the leather plated
in pretty design and fastened with a
plain gold or silver harness buckle.
Black is the favorjte color. though
tan is also popular, and so is brown.
Morocco belts are fastened with large
piled silver. They are stunning and
look particularly well with cotton
shirt waists Palmer belts of all sorts
are supplanting the jeweled girdless
used so much to brighten winter cos
tunes.
Bar pins are in again. About Is
years ago nearly every woman owned
bar pin of one kind or anothe and
she who didn't, wanted one. This pin
was very convenient aud held the
gown together at the neck more firmly
than the more graceful and smaller
brooch of fancy desi On that succeeded
it. The resurrt cted bar pin is some
what sporty in de sign. the most fetch
ing being a miniature coaching horn,
riding crop or whip, bunch of go d
sticks, or something suggesting out
door sport.
Cuff buttons were never so cheap or
pretty as they are now. This is well.
for devote es of the shirt waist regard
the cuff button as very importa Mt
item. Linked buttons are used entire
ly. The newest are made of silver or
gold enameled in bright red, blue or
green, and embellished with a floral or
fancy design of precious stones or mock
gems sunk in. 1t is possible to get
very pretty sleeve bottoms in silver and
enamel for so cents a pair, and then,
again, it is possible to ruin 800 bill
in securing another pair.-St. Louis

ONE GIRLS IDEAS.
What Young Woman Thinks About
Weather and War.

THE following letter WAS recently
| received by friend in this city from
young woman who spent some time
in Ell Paso not loog ago. She evident
ly appreciates the charm of our won
derful climate.
NEW YORK CITY.
Sunday evening, May 8, 1898.
1t has cleared off. 1t has rained
and rained, and rained. almost ever
since you were here, it seems to me.
ertainly for week we have not seen
the sun. Yes -erday it was miserable.
And today it has been all day long a
driving, drenching, pouring, heart
breaking rain. l couldn't write; 1
couldn't read: 1 don't know why I
should have fet it so, but did. And it
came driving down as if there were no
pity and no help and i. would never
stop. But suddenly, just at sunset, a
rainbow shaft shot up against the
clouds, the n avy grayness in the
north broke away, and The west ii AIMED

apple blossoms, which have looked
only white under these
gray skies. And then maybe my geo.
metry class will know something: and
it may even be that their teac b er will
have energy enough to conduct a re-
spectacle recitation. 1t is humiliating
to have our sovereign Independent
selves quite so dependent on external
cor ditions.
But isn't it glorious news from
Manila! And hasn't the country gone
wild over De Sey's dispatch, coming
after these days OF suspense, with so
much better news than any one dared
hope. How did he ever do it, with his
ships uninjured, no men lost, the
Spanish fleet annibilated, and all with
out even single natoleship at his com
mand. Do you suppose the whole
lazy, and the whole army,
and the whole country for that
matter, are full of men waiting only
the need and the opportunity to do
deeds like that? 1t makes one realize
that the days of great deeds are not

A TRAIN OF HARD TACK.
One Million, One Hundred and Twenty
Thousand Tough Biscuit Sent to
From the Atlanta Constitution.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
A train load of hard tack, made in
Atlanta factories, was shipped from
here to Tampa yesterday for the army
which is to invade Cuba tomorrow.
The government, in its contract, sti-
pulated that the bread for the troops
at Tampa be ready there by today.
This in itself signifies thht the inva-
sion is to be made tomorrow.
Eighty thoussncspoundso of the hard
tack was sent from this city. Block s
candy and cracker factory and Lewiss
cracker factory made the hard tack for
the soldiers and the government Of
ficials said it was as good as any they
crackers was at first for 6O.OO0 pounds.
but it was increased to $4,000 to meet
the demand of the troops.
Hard tack is a tough cracker lin
shape exactly similar to q large soda
cracker. The tacks are cut with the
soda cracker molds and are the same
size, with the exception that they fare
much thicker. They have the little
fluctuations and perforations which
told from q common cracker until
tasted.
One million, one hundred and twenty
Thousand of the tough little biscuits
we're made here Sunday and yesterday.
1t takes fourteen of the crackers to
weigh pound, and $4,000 pounds were
made. About twenty of the crackers
are served to each of the men every
day, and, considering the fact that
they are solid, they make three good
meals.
The hard tack is only used to large
extent upon invasion m arches and like
excursions. Always when campaign
OF active fighting begins the
troops are well supplied with the tack,
so that they may have bread ready
cooked. The large sum supply Of hard
tack sent to Tampa makes it certain
that the troops there are ready to in
wade Cuba, for unless an Invasion was
contemplated the immense supply
would not have been sent.

SPRING, 1898.

More shrill than bird to nesting

Ger tented slopes the war notes ring,
And time again the tramp of fate.
Bright Oritiamme of liberty,
Our bann cred blazon fiaupts the sky.
And halls the ''sun-burst" in the sea,
A gallant peoples aneuished cry.

To right that foreign wrong with

Dewey's idea of starving the Span
iards of Manila into subsection is not
sanctioned by the curbe-stOne orators
OF Ell Paso. They contend that Dewey
cannot starve the soldiers without
starving innocent Inhabitants. 1t is
certain that the soldiers will not
starve as long as there is anything to
eat in Manila. and when the supply of
food is consumed the guilty and the
innocent alike must starve.

Vermonters To Be Mustered
Out.

Washington, Aug. lit is now an
assured fact that large number of the
volunteer troops, who enlisted for a
period extending through the duration
of the Spanish war, will be soon mus
tered out of service and sent to their
homes to he welcomed by loving arms
and an admiring populace.
1t is expected that about 10000 men
including 20 regiments of infantry will
be sent to their respective state capitols
and there mustered out as soon as pos
sibe after the officials are satisfied that
there will be no more need for them.
The Vermont regiment will be among
those who are mustered out and will
probably be at Fort Ethan Allen only a
short time before disbanding.
Everything will be prepared for the
mastering out but the final action will
probably not be taken until the peace
commission has the result of their work
more clearly in sight, and the depart
ment will also await the report of Cen
Merritt in regard to the matter. His
wishes will bear great weight,
1t is proposed to place the standing
army on a base of 100, 900 men but the
number that would be available at a
moments notice will be much larger
as the present volunteers will be ready
for service at very short notice should
any difficulties with the insurgents make
a sudden call necessary.
The Boston Herald has n special des-
patch from Hong Kong saying that 1t is
rumorcd that the United States troops
had trouble with the rebel forces under
Gen. Aguinaldo after capturing Manila
1t is reported that they attacked inc
Americans in the trenches.
If this report should prove to be true
then our colonial difficulties have begun
early and if such troubles should con-
tinue it may be necessary to make some
change in the present plan OF the war
department, and larger standing army
may be maintained.

ton? Live and let live.

could not he must have lots more money

him and take his order three times a
week and deliver same to his door, and
seems to me that the other necessaries
of the home and family could be attend
ed to during the week and two evenings,
Monday and Saturday.
If the married stone cutter who works
80 hour, week cannot do his shopping
in two evenings and one afternoon, when
is the married grocery clerk, who works
20 hours a week, gong to do his shop
ping?
Now if we clerks get what we ask
for we are still working 16 hours more
than this stone cutter. Now it seems
to me that he is little selfish if he
wants us to work more than this.
As for picnics, we don't realize what
tine word means. l believe that this
stone cutter, after seeing what we have
to do, will look at this matter in a diff
ferent light

A Reply,

EDITOR EVENING TELEGRAM,-The
letter sent to your estimable paper last
Friday, and which you SO generously
published, makes it impossible for me
to overlook the answer which tho would
be "Stone Cutter" wrote in yesterday 8
paper.
Admitting that "Stone Cutter" feels
very tired after u hard days work, is it
very likely that he will 60 around in all
the stores in the evening-you under
stand being tircd-and bother those
clerks, who worked. like himself, since
I o'clock in the morning and are only
human beings and have II right to ex-
pect the same consideration which
"Stone Cutter wants in this age of elc-
walton. If "Stonc Cutter is II man let
him show his face openly and our union
will look after him.
How can man, a hard workingman,
dare to open his mouth against such
movement, which we all support so
heartily. Shame, cry, 10 that "Stone
CUTTER lie is not worthy to be classed
in our ranks. 1t is against human ma
re that workingman could utter such
opinions. am inclined to believe that
"True Citizen" who wrote such a SEN
sational letter to the Daily Times, and
"Stone Cutter" are one and the same per-
son, and is personally interested in busi-
ness. only give him the advice to
"keep his shirt on," as there are many
of nv friends on hand who are only too
proud TO be able to support the clerks
in this movement to get their we'll de-
served freedom after 6 o'clock four
nights in the week.
can only repeat what "Stone Cutter"
"a IS, "a word to the wise is sufficient"
1t talks for itself.
