What shall we do with our mothers?

a sad condition of things if it is as real

game for prizes, as they call them. And,
1t is said, so earnest lare the games that

any one must admit that these gowns
are enough to tempt any one 10 trick
cry.
Besides the fine appearance they lend
to figures to which they are suited, re-
cent developments have provided many
dainty ways of trimming them. Yokes
Of corded silk are handsome additions
to them, and another is a spencer of
lace which may extend well down over
the hips an dabout nine inches above
the waist. Then if the severe plain
ness of the princess needs to be reliev-
ed a panel of cream lace over white
satin may reach from neck to hem, and
a twist Of some soft material may ex-
tend around the hips a few inches be-
low the waistline. Still another desir-
able decorative fancy is the surplice
scarf Of fine soft silk, which crosses in
front and ties in long sash ends and
loops at the back,
These are trimmings that have de-
veloped in the princess gown as worn
outdoors. They are suitable, too for
house dresses Of this cut, blu. so many
of the latter partake of the nature of
lounging gowns, and have done so for
SO long, that the new decorative devices
are not often seen on them. The gown
of this picture is typical of the indoor
princess, which usually is not so exact
ing as to fit and faultless figure as are
the others. This one was violet cash
mere and was tight only in back. 1t
was trimmed with ruching of violet silk
muslin and narrow lavender soutache,
and it's pleated front was lavender Chi
ma silk. Such dress bespeaks comfort
for it's wearer; stylish outdoor princess
gowns often suggest uncomfortable
snugness. FIIORETTE.

THE WALL STREET BLOSSOM.

That Wall street blossom is an inter-

What it will be like to-day nobody can
tell except the genial and altruistic
gentlemen who give tips and run joint
accounts, but the general expectation
seems to be that it will be like finding
money to buy stocks at any price Ver-

FASHION NOTES.
How Some Outlines Improve.

Princess gowns are increasing in
numbers because women's figures are
improving. The truth of the latter
proposition lies, not in a beautifying
process Of nature, but in the adroitness
of dressmakers in tricks of padding out
here and pinching in there. Don't sus-
pect the next woman you see whose
fine figure Is glorlously revealed by
gfove-fitting princess gown of having
bought her figure, because, of course,
she may not have done so, but some
of 'em do, else good looking princess
suits would not be so many Surely,

Major-General Leslie Rumble Of the
British army, who was chief of staff of
the Khartoum expeditionary force,
writes to the London Times to defend
Lord Kitchener from the implication,
in Mr.. Benefits recent article, of hav-
ing ordered, or desired, the killing of
wounded dervishes. He says: 1t has
been my good fortune to have been
daily and closely associated with the
Sirdar, living in the same mess-frst in
the Toski campaign, secondly in the
Dongola campaign, and lastly in the
Khartoum expedition. On each occa-
sion I have been on the most intimate
terms with him, officially and privately,
and I emphatically state that during
these many years not only have never
heard him countenance the killing of
wounded dervishes by implication or
otherwise, but I have over and over
again heard him deprecate any such
practice. He is one of the least blood
thirsty men I have met, and the least
vindictive. His sympathy with and for
natives is intense, and, knowing his
expressed sentiments as I have known
them over series of many eventful
years, 1 assert that to the best of my
belief he never uttered nor even har-
bored any such detestable idea as Mr.
Bennett sets forth.

Massachusetts has had for about ten
wears law providing that applications
for license to sell intoxicants shall be
refused in case objection is made by
any owner of real estate that is within
TWENTY-FIVE feet of the premises for
which the privilege is asked The inten-
ton Of this law was, of course, to pre-
vent the opening of saloons in neighbour
hoods where their existence would for
one reason or another be offensive, and,
incidentally, to decrease the whole num-
Der of drinking places. Something in
both directions has been accomplished,
but 1t is claimed by the liquor dealers
and admitted by the Boston Transcript
that the statue has been effective
most of all in subjecting the liquor
dealers to demands for money, founded,
not on the temperance principles of real
estate owners, but on a keen apprecia-
tion of an opportunity to do a little

ing away with this kind of extortion,

The natives of Formosa are troubline.
Japan even more than our Filipinos
are troubling us. The Formosans are
Eavages and in fact pirates. They de-
stroy property and ravage settlements
much as our red Indians used to do.
They live in the forests in the interior
where one would think they could not
infiict damage ON the civilized world.
But the warfare which the Formosan
natives wage on the Japanese is affect
ing the commercial world seriously in
the matter of camphor. Camphor trees
are numerous in the interior of Formo-
Ea. The woodnen who cut the camphor
trees for the sake of the gum hardly
dare venture in the interior, fearing
the bands of natives. The roads are
more or less destroyed, and between
the danger of getting at the trees in
the wilderness and the delays and dan

phor is likely to be shortened. How

Eccn,mic Changes 10 FAN RIVER

Fall River Correspondence Boston Trans
oript, April 10.
An economic change in the operation of
local cotton-mills is being gradually
wrought, and there are manufacturers of
skill and experience who see in 1t the hope
of the future for mills here and elsewhere
in the state. 1t is that CT increasing the
| production per capita by speeding up MAJ
chinery, reducing the number of operatives
employed to tend the various machines,
and taking advantage of new inventions
that tend to make these things more east
ly possible. The production of Fall River
operatives per capita has been increased
a great deal in the past three years in
ways that are recognized by worker and
master alike as the result of local compe-
tftion. But because of the pressure from
outside competition, there has been fur
Their increase, and there are still great pos
sibilities along lines that are clearly mark
ed In the minds of several progressive man.
ufacturers,
Twenty years ago looms were rarely run
more than It's picks minute. They are
now run 220 picks on the same kinds of
cloth. Weavers then looked after six looms,
while they now look after eight and ten.
1t would not be possible to keep this work
up for sixty-six hours week, and it would
not be eXacted 1t is exacted now for fifty
eight hours weekly and there is quiet
contest going on to prevent weavers from
accepting more than eight looms each. That
contest will fail in the opinion of manu-
facturers and some operatives, simply be-
cause the weavers themselves want to take
more looms to increase their earnings.
In all departments of the mills these
sorts of changes are going on. In the boiler
rooms of many mills three firemen are be-
ing employed to the work done previously
by four. Different styles of boilers make
this an easy task in some mills, while in
others It is a recognized hardship brought
abohtsby many causes. There has been
marked reduction in the number of men
employed in the opening and carding de-
paBt3nents of the mills, consequently on
radical improvements in machinery and ar
arrangement In most instances there have
been great improvements In the character
of the material turned out, and this has
been an additional source of wealth.
In the spinning departments children
have taken the place of men to a great ex-
tent, but even the men have been compell-
ed to operate more spindes, and hence in
crease their production This has been done
to a great extent at the expense of bone
and sinew, bat for all that, the seductive
influences of short hours, city life, we'll
ventilated mills, and the other things con-
sequent on benefcent legislation make the
labor tolerable, which under some circum-
stances would not be borne quietly. If the
present policy of speeding up machinery
is followed, as 1t seems likely to be, there
will be shortening of the time the ma
chimes will last. Still, it is recognized that
the average life of cotton machinery has
been shortened from other causes, such as
inventions, etc, and this may not be the
important factor which at first glance
seems probable.

Singh Bahadur, G. c. S. l., of Oodeypore,
is the sixtieth or so chief of his dynasty,
founded by Bappa about A. D. 72s His po-
sition is unique, for his house was the only
one from which the Delhi emperors could
not force. a bride. The Mewar chiefs re-
fusal to let the blood of the Mahometan
conquerors mingle with that of their
daughters would probably have been got
over had they been nearer to hand, as Jey-
pore and Jodhpore were. 1t never was got
over. however hence the buest blood in
India-the cream of Rajput aristocracy.
His highness, who was born in 1850, sue
ceeded his kinsman in 1884; is reserved,
dignified, of active and temperate habits,
a good horseman, and has killed more
tigers than any other prince. He is the
husband of one wife-another unusual dis
tinction-and has one son, born In 1884. AS
ruler his instincts are conservativative;
rarely leaving his own state, he has seen
little of the outer world.

Thought He Had a Gun

From the Chicago Record.
Ever since the Wild West show appeared
in Buda Pest the citizens believe that every
American is in the habit of carrying a re-
volyer. A few nights before my arrival an
American traveller and his friends had been
sitting at a table in music hall ordering
such refreshments as may be obtained ct
that kind of a place. When the American
called for his check the waiter performed
a feat in mathematics and learned that
three times three made seventeen. The
American found fault with this system of
multiplication and stood up to protest The
young woman who sold programs threw
herself in front of him and seized his arm.

treated. please do not make any trouble.

Yielding to these entreaties the American
spared the life of the trembling waiter,
who had made a run for the stairway.
There was another computation, and it was
decided that three times three made nine.
