FASHION NOTES.
In Two Shades Much Alike.

One new fashion that comes with fine endorsement at first gives the observer a feeling of uneasness, though in time women can no doubt become sufficiently accustomed to it to vote 1t in the best taste. It is the trick of making gowns of the same goods in two shades that are very near alike. They so nearly match that first glance brings un- pleasant suggestions of fading or of mis- takes in selection. Examination then shows that everything is spick and span and the observer is next convinced, though possibly against her will, that all is right. This picture shows hand some dress made in this way, though not after the manner that most strongly

WHITING FOR THE VERDICT.

The world is waiting for the verdict Ill the Dreyfus case which is expected to-day. The newspaper correspondents at Rennes, who have had their bright and hopeful days, seem to have finally settled down into gloomy certainty that the prisoner will be again con- demned. This, we suppose, is on the theory ttsat the apparent hostility of the court to the prisoner, and especially the refusal of the court to receive the testimony of Colonel Schwartzkoppen and Major Panizzardi were the result Of a prejudice against Dreyfus rather than indications of belief in his inno- cence If the verdict should be mot guilty" there would be a large sized and very pleasant surprise,
 One of the most cheering things in the whole terrible affair has been the hon est and humane action of Germany. The court wouldn't let Colonel Schwartz koppen testify, but the German govern ment has done what it could to help Dreyfus and justice. Yesterday the Reichsanzeiger announced itself author ized to repeat the declarations which the imperial government, while loyalty observing the reserve demanded in re- gard to internal matters of another country, has made concerning the French Captain Dreyfus. These declar- ations, made in December, 1894 in Jan uary, 1895, and January 24, 1S9S were that no German agents ever had any thing to do with Dreyfus.
 Dreyfus was said to be cheerful yes terday Millions of sympathizers with him are hoping almost against hope that the verdict may be such as to give him good reason to be cheerful He has had very hard time.

LITTLE ENGLTSHMEN roo.

There are, it appears, little English
 men" as we'll as little Americans Frederick Harrison has addressed an open letter to Lord Salisbury in which he says: Measured by the compromises with foreign nations which you may justly claim to have brought to q sue cessful issue, the concessions already ac- cepted by the republic are indeed deci- sive. From nine years to seven years, from seven to five years, from one de- mand of the outlanders to another, the Boers have given way They have all ready conceded the whole of the origin al demand made on them, and have even added more. And at every fresh concession, Sir Alfred Milner is instruct ed to make further demands, until throughout the Transvaal, and we may well add at home the impression pre- vails that it is not concession of claims which is sought from the republic but submission, humiliation, and loss of in- dependence. Is this how negotiations have been carried on when you, my lord, as head of the foreign office, have dealt with Russia, Turkey, France or the United States? This is not negotia- ton. It is war-war of naked aggres- sion; war wherein the Boers will not yield without desperate struggle, and after bloody combats a war which can not be closed by few victories. nor the traces of it wiped out by few prom fses or proclamations; a war wherein many true and patriotic Englishmen de- voutly trust that the Boers may not be crushed
 Of course such little Englishn1en as MT. Harrison and those who think as he does will not be allowed to stand in the way of England's glory, the spread of civilization, etc, etc, if 1t is decided that England really wants the Boers, land.

On the latter was embroidery in red silk threads while much more conspicuous embroid- cry on the other portion was in red and black. This difference in the embroid cry had the effect somehow, of accent uating the really slight difference in the goods themselves. Without 1t cas- ual inspection might have set the ob server to sympathizing with the wearer over her error in matching colors. Just think of that! To arouse sympathy by an expensive new dress is hardly what a woman plans,
 The varieties of yoke effects are end less, and they make the usual finish to any round bodice. Some round bodices subordinate the yoke effect, though all most always there is some show of yoke about the neck, and are elaborated by double breasted cut, or a finish of drapery on one side in contrast to the arrangement on the other. Now and then there is a double bodice effect; that is, the yoke portion is one with the sleeves, and the drapery or outer bodice, to match skirt or overskirt, is arranged either in blouse effect with shoulder straps, or comes high over ono shoulder passing beneath the other arm. Often the sleeves of the outer bodice are slip ped in gracefully loose drapery below the shoulders and sometimes from there extended to the elbow, the yoke sleeve showing below unless the arm is left bare FLORETTE.

Colorado is to have an extra session slider ways of raising revenue for State institutions. It seems that while Col orado has million or two dollars idle In various funds, cash for support of penal and educational departments is entirely exhausted, and unless the leg 1slature can devise plans for raising revenue, penitentiary and insane asy- lum doors must be thrown open. So all corporations doing business in the State are to be taxed $2O annually, and railroad, telegraph and telephone com panies are to have their assessments raised.

It is said that Philadelphia can boast of the longest asphalted street in the world. Broad street has that unique distinction. It is the only street which is of even width for eleven miles, and this width is the greatest ever attained by any street for course of eleven miles. It is also the Straightest street, for from League island to the county line 1t does not vary an inch, except at the great city building. Seven miles of the street are asphalted, but the re- mainder is provided with roadbed of fine macadam, which is about twenty miles farther on. A carriage can drive on this street and road and make only one turn in thrty-one miles. Broad street is 113 feet wide and measures 69 feet from curb to curb, and thirty-fve men can walk abreast of it.

Car bonate of lime was found to be the chief constituent along with from ? td per cent. of organic material The latter was shown to be a mixture of fatty acids. Upon the facts thus ascer- tained were based experiments with lime and olive oil, with the object of discovering the lost recipe.

II. You shall honor your Father and
