FASHION NOTES.
Millinery Features That Hold Over.

The younger matrons this season have oddly enough seized upon some of the materials that have in recent years been almost exclusively reserved for older women. For evening, dinner and recep- tion wear they have gone in for velvet gowns, taking on at the same time a dignified stateliness that has in the past been considered becoming in much older women. One of these rich gowns of princess cut has the artists attention
 here. Of heliotrope velvet, it's back breadth was heavy lavender silk em-

loose front was embroidered lavender silk, finished with double draped ruffles of the same with quilled edges. The princess scheme did not hold in rear view, as the back of the bodice was of the velvet.
 Purple is often styled the royal color, and in a rich dress goods like velvet it has certain air of stateliness. For the coming summer, however, it will appear so generally in hats and in the gowns this headwear matches that there will be no air of dignity about it. Indeed the hy-away type of summer girl may

Thirty years ago. says the Rev. Da- vid Macree of Dundee, Scotland, now in this country T paid a visit to Mrs. Stonewall Jackson at her home, and was presented by her with the over- coat which her husband wore when he received his death wound. It was a heavy rubber-faced garment, and the fatal bullet hole and stains of blood were plainly visible. took the prec- ious relic of the great Confederate hero back to my home in Dundee, Scotland, but en route to New York I met Gen. eral Howard of the Federal Army, and told him the story. He was immensely interested, spoke warmly of General Jackson's military genius and superb courage and finally wound up by say ing: "Well, MT. Macrea, since you have this overcoat, I think l will have to give you the one that I wore in the with Jackson, but I want you to have a souvenir of both sides So he gave me his uniform coat embelished with the Federal brass buttons and shoulder straps. I thanked him heartily, and after I reached home I had them both placed in the fine public museum at Dundee There they have hung through all these years, the blue and the gray, side by side, one bullet-torn and bloody, the other bright and whole. I propose on my return to have the two coats transferred to the museum at Edin- burgh."

The refrigerating and ice plant which the government is preparing to erect at Manila will be quite an affair. It is to cost $15o,000 and will be capable of keeping from 1000 to 1,200 tons of chill ed and frozen beef and an equal amount of eggs, fowls and vegetables, which have to be kept in cold storage in that climate. The ice plant will be run on the ammonia system, and is intended to manufacture about twenty-foir tons of ice day. The list of machinery en- braces steam engines, surface conden- gers, boilers, composers, ammonia condensers, pumps, an auxiliary engine, electric plant, tanks and all other ap purtenances used in plant of that size. There will be three horizontal compound engines, fifteen pumps, one direct con- nected direct current dynamo of one hundred volts, one sixteen-horse power motor, one fifteen-horse power motor, 4S0 sixteen-candle power incandescent lights thirteen 2,o00-candle power arc lights and a long list of the necessary tixtures which accompany them.

This interesting statement Is made by a writer in Donahoe's Monthly: It is the general teaching of Catholic theol- ogy that among the scenes and places of mans future habitatfon will be this planet not as we have 1t now, with it's winters and summers, with it's biting winds and enervating atmosphere, but as it will be after the great day of Judgment when, according to the clear teaching of Holy Scripture, the world is to be deluged by fire, and in the pur- flying clements of fire the world is to be renewed and regenerated. The world will then be transformed into scene of changeless and surpasslng loveliness, a fit dwelling place for glo- rified man.

It is easy to make miscalculations about railroads. Russia has found so profitable the portion of the Siberian railroad which has been completed, that 1t has decided to add eighty two million roubles to the amount set apart for construction this year. On the whole line the transportation is nearly thrice as heavy as expected, and the traffic on the western section has al- ready necessitated the substitution of twenty-four pound rails for the eigh- teen pound variety in use when the road was opened.

THE MODERN CROESUlS.

During the past six months Mr.. An
drew Carnegie has given away some
two and a half million dollars in fur
therauce of his favoriUe and laudable
idea of endowing public libraries in
the land of his birth and in the coun-
try of his adoption. Mr.. John D.
Rockefeller, who has given seven or
eight million dollars to Chicago Uni
versity, subscribes quarter of mil
lion dollars to an endowment fund for
Brown University. Sir Thomas Lip
ton, who is spending something over
half a million dollars on the mere
chance of winning a yacht race, offers
to pay $3.50, 900 for the Muckross es-
tate at Killarney in order to present
it to the people of Ireland.
These are truly modern instances.
They are typical of the times and of
the social conditions and influences.
In all former ages Croesus dissipated
his fortune in vulgar ostentation and
wasteful extravaganza. The modern
Croesus, Influenced by the spirit of the
age in which he lives, disposes of at
least a part of his fortune according
to modern methods and modern ideas.
He wishes to keep it in perpetuity,
and in.no other way can fortune be
perpetuated so securely as by we'll
considered public benefaction.
Not only does such disposition of
it secure it's continuance, but it also
purchases an Immortality of fame on
moderate terms. A few hundred
thousand dollars given to a library has
done more to dignity the name of AS
tor than any other achievement of
that family. A university is perpet-
ual memorial of it's founder, giving
his name increase of glory as the years
go by. The libraries established by
Andrew Carnegie will keep his name
and memory green in grateful minds
for centuries after his furnace fires
have been burned out and his business
ventures have passed into oblivion.
The modern Croesus is an improve
ment on his forerunners because his
age is an improvement on all prece-
ding ages. For this improvement
special recognition should be extend
ed to him in the United States because
it is chiefly the United States which
have taught him the lesson he is now
illustrating of the best use of his
money.

WAR-SHIPS FOR MANILA.

The President has directed the imme-
date despatch to the Philippines of
number of vessels of the navy, includ-
ing the cruiser Brooklyn and the gun
boats Marietta and Machias. The
action is the result of Admiral Dew
eY's interview, In which he went over
the Philippine situation with the
President. The orders given are in
line with the expressed determination
of the President to furnish the army
and navy every resource for stamp
ing out the Philippine Instruction at
the earliest possible time. At Admi-
raj Dewey's extended Interview with
the President the former went into
the Philippine situation at great
length, explaining carefully the exist
ing condition of affairs and his views
of the outlook, concluding with an
earnest recommendation that the
Brooklyn and some other vessels be
sent at once to the Philippines.
This re- enforcement Of the present
fleet of the Asiatic squadron he urged
as necessary, and said their despatch
should be directed as early as posi-
BILE. The President Immediately COM
municated with the navy department.,
and instructed the secretary of the
navy to issue an order carrying out
the admiraIs recommendation, and to
see that they are in readiness at
once. The Marietta and Machias, be-
side the Brooklyn, will be designated
by the navy department., along with
several other vessels which have not
yet been selected.
The Brooklyn is now with the other
vessels of the North Atlantic squad
ron off Tomkinsville, Staten island.
The Machias and Marietta are atpres-
emit lying at their wharves in NewYork
on waiting orders. The administra-
ton believes the presence of these re-
endorsements will have a material
effect in expediting the end of hostil-
tiles in the Philippines. The Brooklyn
is an armored cruiser of the first class.
carrying 20 main battery guns and
having a total displacement of 9215
tens. The Marietta is a composite
gunboat of 1000 tons displacement, and
with a main battery equipment of six
guns. The Machias, with a displace-
ment of 1177 tons, carries battery of
eight guns.

A London despatch to the Times
says: The evident Discrimination of the
British government to take the initia
tive in warlike proceedings against
the Beers is due doubtless primarily
to the knowledge that there exists a
distaste for hostilities on the part of
the reflective minority of the public
of England. Another explanation,
however, is put forth in some quar-
tiers, which is here given for what it
is worth. According to this the Anglo
German treaty of August of last year
ties England's hands. At that time,
with the Soudan expedition on hand
and also with the prospect of difficult
ties with France and Russia, England
was anxious to avoid the trouble in
South Africa, with the possibility of
Germany backing the Transvaal.
Therefore one cause of the treaty
provided that England should not
make territorial acquisitions in South
Africa Or gain any advantage for
British subjects in the territory other
than that which the British now enjoy,
and in which German subjects could
not participate. Germany then agreed
not to thwart or embarrass British
policy under these conditions. This,
then, is why it is that the policy of
the British government with the
Beers is not to take the first step if
war must come. It also explains, on
the other hand, why the Beers so OBJ
stinately refuse to accede even to the
most reasonable demands of England,
for the Beers know her hands are tied
What lends some credence to this
view is the fact that the German
ambassador had been closeted with
Lord Salisbury Immediately after the
recent cabinet meetings held to con-
slider the South African situation.

"Take the Spanish case. The Kais-
er of Germany, the Kaiser of Aus
tria, the French government, were
trying their utmost to find some
means of intervening to support the
Spanish cause. Finding no means,
brute force would have sufficed had
there been no opposition; but thanks
to Great Britain, we were spared that
affront. Here, by the treaty of The
Hague, the means of intervention,
the thin end of the wedge, are pro-
vided. With the treaty in force at
the time, it would have been the phil
anthropic duty of the HAPPY Powers
to intervene, to propose commissions,
etc., ETC., and we would have been
pledged by that much lauded treaty,
to approve those steps. The matter
might still be pending; we might have
run the risk OF dangerous Europe
an war; trade might still be unsettled,
and Cuba still grooming under Span
ish misrule".

The distinguished statistician, M. G.
Mulhan, who for many years has
found a favorite study in the develop
ment of the resources of our great
republic, contributes to the October
number of the North american Revteao
a striking article entitled give Years
of American Progress" His state
ments and figures constitute a mar
velous exhibit of national strength
and prosperity. Mr.. Mulhall VEN
lures a prediction as to the popula-
ton of the United States of the next
census:
stThe decline of immigration may
be traced directly to the vexatious
regulations against what are termed
European paupers,' but it is not so
easy to account for the diminished
rate of natural increase. We must
suppose either higher death-rate or
a lower birth rate, and the former is
the more probable in view of the ex-
ceedingly rapid growth of urban pop
ulation, while there is no reason TO
suppose a declining birth-rate. In
fact, to judge by European countries,
the birth-rate of towns is usually
higher than that of rural districts. 1t
may be we'll to observe here that ac-
cording to the growth of population
in the last five years, the census of
1900 ought to show 77,3OO,OOO inhab-
itants."

The treaty of arbitration which was
the result of the recent conference at
The Hague, and which was signed by
the American delegates in common
with the delegates of the other Pow
ers, will not be binding upon tho
United States unless and until it ia
formally accepted and approved by
the senate. In a caustic article in the
October number of the North Ameri-
can ReUieaU, entitled Sin the Clutches
of the HAPPY Powers" Mr.. R. Nj.
Johnston expresses the ardent hope
that the senate will not approve the
treaty, since if it did SO, it might af-
ford European powers the occasion
they have long been seeking to inter-
fere in American affairs. He thus
describes the situation on the out
break of our war with Spain as it
would have been if the treaty had
then been in operation:

The naval engineers have proiecte

The naval engineers have projecte
plans for the new battle ships which,
if adopted, will provide an entirely
noveltype for the navy. The purpose
is to have these ships combine in
themselves the good qualities of bat
tleships and armored cruisers. The
aim will be to have the highest pos
sible speed for such ships-in this case
twenty knots per hour. This will be
attained by the use of triple screws,
two small side screws for use in ordi-
nary cruising, and big central screw
to add to the propulsive force in case
high speed is needed. The ships
would be of $4,000 or $1,000 tons dis
placement, and with seven inches of
the latest armor, would be almost as
strong in defence as a regular battle
ship. The coal capacity would be
about 1000 tons, sufficient at ordinary
cruising speed to carry the ship 10000
or $4,000 miles.

The money power, capital, business
that yields profitable returns, are the
the enemies against which. the
fierce, envious, destructive, ignorant
radicalism which is now the dem
ocratic. party has fought since 1896.
Whatever is accepted by and estab-
lished in the world of business must
be thrown down as oppressive to
"the poor, the ''producing classes"
by the Bryanite ranters. Whether
the gold standard or trusts and cor
porations are attacked, the motive of
the attack is the same. The Bryanite
process is to infiame discomfort, to
set the unprosperous against the
prosperous, to instil into the minds of
multitudes the belief that they are
"wronged" by 1.-THE rich" The dem
ocratic anti trust monument is a
brother or first cousin of sixteen to
one, and it's neck will be wrung like
the other.-Nea0 York Sun.
