Il believe that this will be the last reg
ular battle With the Filipinos. When this
campaign is over their military strength
will be shattered. But it will be a long
time before the insurgents are conquered.
l think it will be a matter OF years, per-
haps two or three. The determined re-
sistance they are making against our
forces is not strange to me.

artillery when / left and l doubt II
they have any to speak of now. Artil-
lery. however, is not of much service in
that country, as the heavy guns cannot
be moved easily. The roads are few and
practically useless for artillery. All around
Manila the country is low and swamp
and it would be a tough job to move ar
tillery through it. The Filipinos can build
good trenches. Those .!1at l saw were
first class. They do not protect the APP
proaches with barbed wire as the Span
ish did in Cuba. L do not think they are
as good fighters as the Spaniards. Many
of the men in Aguinaldo's army are un--
civilized. In their own wars some of
these natives still use the poisot eI ar
rows. That tells how civilized they are.
You cannot get anything lower than that.

Easter. There are the Vanderbilt
and the Sloan-Hammond affairs to look

Easter, and fully a dozen after that.
Miss Virginia Fair. who will become
the bride of William X. Vanderbilt. Jr.,
on April 4. will wear a magnificent gown
OF heavy white satin. Its skirt is trimmed
with rare old lace that is put OF in a
point in front and goes up the back in
two 11ounces. 1t has a court train and
all the seams of the skirt are embroid-
cred in pearls in maiden-hair fern pat
tern. The waist is trimmed with a
priests yoke of old lace, put on flat
and plain. The sleeves are marvelously
tucked in rows of three tucks, going
ACROSS. These little tucks are almost
innumerable, and beautifully fine. Be
tween the tucks are insertions of the
same fine lace, also laid on fiat. At the
wrists there is another fall of the lace.
The body of the waist is made after the
same manner, with tucks and insertion
Of the lace, and there is also a full front
OF it. About the throat there is a high
collar of the lace laid upon standing
pieces of white satin. The veil is also OF
lace. With the gown Miss Fair is to wear
white satin slippers embroidered in
pearls, and white silk stockings.
Such is perhaps the very fairest con-
lection of the Easter days of 1899.

THE OF OLD

New York. March 2S.-The metropolis
has had a rather hard winter of it, at
least as far as weather is concerned, and
the early Easter is not as thoroughly ap-
preciated as in milder times. Yet the
city was never so deluSed with flowers.
They have come from New Jersey, from
up the state, from New England, from
Pennsylvania, from the south and from
far off Bermuda, and Broadway looks as
gay as a Chinese. flower garden. From
Broadway the flowers have found their
way to Fifth avenue, and the great fofal
establishments as we'll as the mercantile
ones, male and female, are the most de-
cisive evidence that Easter Sunday is at
hand, and the annual parade a matter OF
the moment. 81.
There are thousands upon thousands
who come to New York simply to see the
Fifth avenue Easter parade, with its
millions in dainty headgear and costly
togs, with it's sunlight and it's shadow, it's
glory and it's shame.
In the very heart of this parade ground
stood the Windsor, only a few weeks ago.
Today the paraders must pass the char
mel house, a rather grim reminder OF one
of the sternest of Easter lessons.
But this parade of the Easter day dates
back nearly to the beginning Of New
York's history. A hundred years ago the
parade ground stretched along Broad
way, and the minds eye wanders back
to it with a quaint pleasure. In their
l~ong-skirted coats, bright waistcoats and
breeches, silk stockings and shoes, with
silver buckles, the men look courtly and
dignifed. Not all of them wear wigs or
even queuesf,1 Those who wish to be

Some drop. in at the Tontine coffee house
in Wall street, near Water, to ak poll
tics, and a party OF the younger men
rides out to Cato Alexander's, in the Bos-
ton road, beyond the Bowery, for a bowl
of punch. ~
Along Broadway and Wall street, where
several banks have already appeared,
the parade eddies. Family parties stroll
to their homes in the residence districts
of Hanover and Franklin squares. Men
and women bow and smile to each other
in the Battery park, swept by the breeze
blowing from the wooded shore of New
Jersey to the farms of Long Island.
AS they turn up Broadway, they pass
the governors mansion, built handsomely
of brick and standing alone between the
Battery and Bowling Green. They pro-
coed along the broad t~horoughfare, lined
with conlmodious two-story brick houses,
rooted with tiles, until they. reach the
park far uptown, where the city hall is
to be built later. Here the tender heart

mates in the Bridewell, the w%orkhouse

space from the north. A few pass on to
the outskirts of the city, at Leonard
Fresh Water pond, and in the stream
which flows from it into the Hudson.
PausinS there, they look out over fields
and farms, dotted with manor houses,
where green grass and new leaves are
beginning to show. The women, as a
rule, wear the Empress costume, with it's
high waist and clinging skirt, which was
adopted out of compliment to the bloody
"citiZens' of France. Here and there is

AN ESSAY ON A

This essay on Heads" is accredited to
an eight-year-old Minnesota boy, and is
clipped from the Saltwater, Mimi, Prison
Mirror:
''There's lots of kinds of heds-red beds,
wooden heds, soft heds, cabbage beds,
bawld beds, and so 4th.

when he gets spanked; but the smart end
of a bee is not there-oh, no!

Cur health, indeed! AS if we need
Your men to watch and foster US!
Upon my word, who ever heard
A notion so preposterous?
Male mem! And pray, what right nave
they
To come and preach and pirate to us?
AS if they knew that we must do
Whatever they dictate to US!
For, say, how can a mere male man
See If a girls tight-laced or no?
How can he tell if she is-well,
If Nature made her waist or no?
However wise in their own eyes.
Still certain things they couldn't know,
Or if they do, the bold, bad crew.
More shame to them! They shouldn't
know!
The game they play? It's plain as day;
They think that we've been cold to
them,
n they are not content with what
Few favors we have doled to them.
But now they'll seize whate'er they
please,
And when they come embracing us
They'll only cry they want to try
If any ones been lacing us.
o wicked vile! O plot most vile,
Fer ravishing q kiss of us.
To any him that has a whim
For ravishing a kiss of us.
Wen be their prey by night and day,
Unless we stop this sorry bill,
And be pursued by suitors rude
Q horrible! Most horrible!
