that touch OF coral color must be worn
to give brightness and dash to the toilets.
This charming color is peculiarly be-
coming to most women, for it harmonizes
well with their complexion. In its wake
we will no doubt find revival of the
coral jewelry which was in vogue years
ago and has been laid away. AS it is
rumored that earrings are coming into
fashion again, the pretty coral ornaments
will be in favor.
The bangle bracelet has given place to
the bangle neck-chain. which has inst
appeared. Tiny golden charms dangle
from the slender wire which encircles the
throat. Enameled shamrocks, fish, birds,
bells, anchors, tortoises and many other
diminutive trinkets are in favor. The
faddish girl usually prefers to have her
chain made and to chose her ornaments
separately. Many of these are made to
order, often gold ard silver alternating
in these bangles. There is not so much
jingle about the neck-chain as there is
about the bangle bracelet, but it is much
prettier.
Black and white is ever popular CON-
bination, and made up on artistic lines is
most striking. Some of the most effect
i've black costumes are relieved with
dash of white, which serves to give the
finishing touch to beautiful toilet. A
noted gown seen recently had yoke or
collar of white satin crossed with tiny
black velvet ribbon like lattice work.
The skirt was plain black with tapped
seams and the lower part of the bodice was
also black. The edge of the yoke was
finished by tiny ruche of black velvet
lined with white satin.
Every day some new occupation for
women is opened up, and the desire of
wealthy people to have a striking cos
tune, something unique and that can not
be readily initiated, is responsible for the
field. Boiling cloth, that fine, silk-like
transparent goods, is used for. makingibalI
dresses, but the beauty is the hand paint
ing that is done on the cloth, so marvel
ously natural that the sprays of flowers
seem to be grouped carelessly over the
gown instead of being laid on with
brush. At present the modistes in the
East are employing numbers of women
for this work. 1t is hard to say how long
the fad will last.

WHERE WOMAN REIGNS.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Moving day is dreaded by every house
wife who sees before her visions of weeks
of work in packing away all nicknacks
and looking to the safe handling of pic
lures and articles of vertu. For some
time this terrible day has been robbed of
its horrors in the East, where compe-
tent and responsible person took COM
plete charge, and while the family were
enjoying themselves in various ways the
transition from one house to another was
accomplished without trouble. This is
work eminently suited for a woman to
oversee, because this requires a respon-
sible head and corps Of capable assist
ants. When all was complete the family
entered and took possession, having abso-
lutely nothing TO do. in the matter Of
change of residence. Only the mistress
knows the relief of finding things all
right-carpets laid, curtains up, pictures
hung and furniture in its place, or where
a little Encouragement makes everything
homelike once more. This idea has been
started in this city. 1t remains to be seen
whether it will be success.
All women should join in a general
rejoicing, for it is predicted that the reign
of the trained skirt is over and that by
spring walking length will prevail. 1t is
noticed that the trained skirt is not quite
as long as formerly, but still necessitates
holding up or it will sweep the street
clean. The rainy day skirt supplies a
long felt want, but because the custom is
not universal many women refuse to wear
it unless it is "rainy" day sure enough.
Those women who have the courage of
their convictions and moral backbone
enough to wear one when shopping or
walking on a bright sunshiny day are
looked at askance and rather derisively
termed thew woman" by their more con-
sentative sisters. The short skirt has a
youthful effect on most females and it is
wonderful that it is not more generally
adopted, for this one reason alone should
appeal to the feminine heart. But the
comfort and the hygenic considerations
outbalance all others with those who
wear them.
The new golf capes are beauties, and
for cool day they are the ideal wrap.
But when the mercury gets on the other
side of the zero mark something that fits
closer to the body will be found more
comfortable. These capes are more be-
coming to a tall, slender person. A
slight, willowy brunette recently was
seen in one of these capes and it added
the browning touch to her toilet. 1t was
of beautiful, bright wine color, with the
plaid back of black and white combined
with red. A red and black toque with
white breasts completed the charming
Speaking of capes, leading physician

The Town Improvement Society


The Town Improvement Society.
The Town Improvement Society OF
Skowhegan, opened its season of literary
work for 1899 and 1900, on Friday Oct.
27th, at library parlOrs, with most
delightful talk by Mrs. Grace Coburn
Smith, on her "Trip to Egypt The
privilege of visiting the historic spots Of
the Old World is not granted to all, but
as Mrs. Smith carried her listeners with
her on her way to Cairo, and then on
her excursion to the Pyramids and the
Sphinx, her fellow travellers, the streets
of Cairo, the little donkey boys, the un-
calmly cames and their turban drivers,
in fact all that she described seemed so
vivid, they felt that To see iC through her
power of observation and description
was surely the next best thing. Mrs.
Smith decorated the parlors with many
curious and attractive souvenirs brought
by her from Egypt, which were most
interesting, as we'll as identifying. Miss
Josephine w. Smith played very en-
joyable piano solo. and the secretary of
the society, Mrs. Emma Bickford, read
her annual report, giving resume of
the years work, both the literary and
latter proved most conclusively that the
Town Improvement Society well de-
serves its name.

DEWEY'S NEW HONOR.

1t Makes Him Outrank All the Cen
erals of the Army.
Washington, March 4.-The news OF
confirmation by the senate OF George
Dewey as admiral Of the navy and OF
Elwell S. Otis as major general by bre-
vet in the regular army was promptly
ca bled to those two officials at Manila
yesterday, with the congratulations OF
the president and Secretaries Long ana
Alger.
The special act making Dewey ad-
miral Of the navy increases his emolu-
ments from $4,000 to $4,000 per an
mum. 1t is said that he will outrank any
officer in the United States army, the
fact being that the rear admirals, OF
whom there will be is, will rank with
the major generals, who are the highest
officers Mt present In the army.
AS the naval nominations were sent
in yesterday they were based on the
standing of the officers in the old regis
ter, and no account was taken or the
effect of action or non-action on the par:
of the senate on the many naval nomi-
nations thcn pending before that body.
Thus in the list of rear admirals SUBJ
mitted, IS in number, Schley stands two
numbers in advance of Sampson. This
is precisely his relative position on the
existing register. though had the SEN
ate confirmed the nominations Of the
two officers to be rear admirnls as they
were specially submitted by the presi-
dent Sampson would stand two numbers
ahead of Schley. The recommendation
of the president, however, was not fol
lowed and both are rear admirals, with
Schley two numbers in advance.

merce Oh Their Markets.
Washington, March An example OF
Eurcnean economic hostility to the Uni
ted States is furnished in report to
the state department by Consul Baehr,
from Kehl. Austria. The report reviews
n lecture Of DR.. Alcxand Peez, Wen
nese authority on political economy. DE-
Peez, in calling attention to American
commercial competition, assumes that
1.-The United States has taken Cuba and
intends to have the enormous quantity
of sugar it needs supplied by the nome
product and that grown in Cuba Fur
Their, he calls attention to the fact that
the United States makes the enlarge
ment Of its balance of trade the funda-
mental principle Of its commercial policy,
and in this it's government acts with
great holiness" He says that America
already exports to Europe goods valued
at 81, 200, 100000, against which they
import only about $600,000,000. AT this
rate, DIR. Pecz says, they will be most
threatening factor i'll the commercial life
of Europe when i'll seven years, as he
calculates, they will have established
their sugar production on basis to rob
Europe of all its American sugar trade.
The lecturer cites numerous other in
stances OF American encroachment i'll
paper iron, cottonseed oil and leather,
concluding TINT the countries Of Europe
in the near future will have to form
coalition to protect themselves against
Outside competition"
Consul Baehr says that similar senti-
ments are frequently uttered by promi-
nent men and officials of Austro-Hun-
gary and are published there by the
press, as we'll as in Germany.

A Supply of Food Secured For the
Snowbound Passengers.
Cheyenne, Wyo., March All trains
on the Wyoming division Of the Union
Pacific are again tied up. The track
was opened up Sunday, but another
wind, accompanied by light snow, re-
newed the blockade. Not wheel is
turning today on the division. a dis
patch from Superintendent Rasbach, in
charge of the snowbound passenger
train on the Cheyenne and Northern,
says he has killed steer from the range
and obtained a supply of -four, thereby
supplying the imprisoned passengers
with ample food until relief train can
reach them. The relief train which
started out Sunday returned yesterday,
having opened the track 20 miles, and
went out again with larger force Of
shovelers.
Four passengers who left the train on
foot at Iron Mountain on Friday reached
here yesterday, having suffered severely
in Saturday nights blizzard, in which
they wandered from the track and nearly
persisted All were badly frostbitten.

.THE SPRING FRESHETS.
The Ohio at Cincinnati Shows q
Fifty-si1 Foot Stage.
FREEZING INCREASES DISTRESS.

In yest yirginin's Capital, Though the
Waters Are Roccdlng, There Ia Much
Suffering From Lack of Food and
FueI--Few Fatalities Reported.
Cincinnati, March 7.-Fifty-six feet is
the stage of the Ohio river ct this point.
This is beyond all expectations warrant
ed by the information ut hand Sunday
night. The rainfall in the limited sec
ton of the Ohio watershed south and
east Of the Ohio river was much greater
than any one expected. The rate of rise
at this point is about three inches per
hour. This rate has been maintained
for moro than "a hours.
Reports from above show that the
Monongahcln and Allegheny are sta
tionnry. at Brownsville and Morgan
town, near the hcndwatcrs Of the Monon-
gahcla, where the great supply came
from to make the food in that river, the
waters are falling, with II feet at Nor
gantown and nearly % feet ut Browns
vile.
At Wheeling the stage is 26 feet. Fur
ther down the river ut Parkersburg, w.
Va, the river is stationary. at Gal
lipolis it is A feet, and rising slowly.
At Portsmouth it is "a feet and 10 inch
es, and rising two inches an hour. TAX
ing the Portsmouth stage as an indica-
ton in connection with the condition OF
the river at points above up to Parkers-
burg the Indications are that the max
imum stage reached at Cincinnati will
be so and possibly 60 feet, provided the
floods are not increased by further rain
fall.
Damage by flood in the cities on the
Ohio so far reported are slight. AT
Huntington, w. Va. where the stage is
52h feet, two barges Of coal were sunk
in the Guyan and thousands Of sawlogs
were washed away. At Portsmouth
cellars and factories are flooded on Front
street, while on Mill, East Front and
Jackson streets many people have been
driven from their dwellings,. Very lit
tie interference with business has been
experienced The stage in the lower
Ohio is such that no more coal will ge.
away from the fleets in bnrbor at Louis
vile until the flood recedes.
At Cincinnati the business men in the
lowlands are removing their goods from
cellars No dwellings, have been dis
turbcd except two tenement quarters.
Should the river reach 50 or GO feet
some business houses near the river
will have to remove their goods to the
second story No railroads Mt that stage
will be prevented from running regular
trims
