Peculiar to Themselves,
Special Cotton Colors of the Fast Dia
mond Dyes That Are Entirely
Unlike All Other Methods
Ct Dyeing.

Thousands of ladies in Illinois now
fully understand that DYES prepared
for coloriug woolen goods cannot be
used successfully for the coloripg Of
cotton and mixed goods.
The manufacturers Of Diamond
Dyes have long ego ov -rcome the
difficulty. and now their special cot.
ton colors are chemical triumphs.
The cheap limitations have one all
round dye tina: they claim will color
wool. cotton and mixed goods. The
result is that thousands OF women
are sadly disappointed whom the Y
use these crude dyes for coloring cot.
ton and mixed materials. The users
o. these imitation package dyes get
blotchy and muddy colors that can
not stand sunlight or wear.
The l6 special cotton colors of
Diamond Dyes are wonderful discov-
cries unknown to makers OF common
dyes. Every color is clear. deep,
brilliant and fast as rock. When
you are about to dye cotton or mixed
goods, ask your dealer for the Dia-
mond Dye Cotton colors, the only
reliable cotton colors in the world.

This Week-substancea a Dead Secret.
Washington, March 1S.-In this capi-
tai everybody is awaiting the report Of
the court Of inquiry, which has for
nearly a month past been investigating
the cause of the Maine disaster in Ha.
vana harbor. The report that Judge
Advocate Mark would be here in a
few days has been confirmed, and ex-
pectation Is on tiptoe. 1t is understood
that the other two members OF the
court viii remain at Key West. and
that Captain Mark will bring the com.
pleted findings with him. The prevail
ing opinion still is that the report will
fail to show direct responsibility for the
explosion on the part Of the Spanish
authorities, but that there will be suffi-
cient facts to warrant a demand for
indemnity and other repara,ion on the
ground Of, ,contributory negligence.
No pains will be spared to keep the
report secret until 1t il officially pub
hshed. and every precaution that hu-
man ingenuity can suggest win be
adopted to safeguard Il, the main an
rrehension being that there mar be

The largest measure Of preparation

meet the contingencies of the future
probably has just been completed. 1t
Is the preparation of bill providing
among other sections for the placing
OF the army on a war footing for the
full strength of 100000 men. The bill
has been carefully gone over by the
war department and will be introduced
In the house by Hull, chairman Of the
house committee on military affairs,
who will urge it vigorously inasmuch IS
1t is an administration measure. The
basis Of the bill will be the well known
three battalion organization. That is
the Ideal peace status Of the army, but
provision is made for the exercise by
the president of full power to increase
each one of the existing companies from
seventy-five men, the present strength.
to $50 men.
In view of the possibility of a con-
hict with Spain considerable interest
centers Just now in the strength of the
militia force Of the United States, which
would be liable to be called upon in
case OF necessity. The latest report to
congress on the militia strength was
made to congress, by Acting Secretary
OF War Meiklejohn, and was based on
returns received at the adjutant gen.
erals office for 1897. This statement
shows that the total organized strength
OF the militia of the United States is
1882 men while the number Of men
available for military duty (unorgan-
ibed). Of which report was made at
the time that the statement of the mill
tia was sent in, is 10,3o1,3 ,339.
