Of Pana Coal Mines.

Pana, ILL.,. Jan. 2.-The reported
massing in Pana of 1000 union miners
from central and southern Illinois
towns, today, for the purpose Of driv-
ing out the non-union imported negro
miners failed to materialize. Many ar
rest of negroes have been made by the
provost guards on charges of carrying
concealed weapons and fighting. The
mine operators who have heretofore
been securing the release of negroes by
going on their bonds, notified Sheriff
Downey, today, that no more bonds
would be signed by mine operators.
In consequence the county Jail is fast
being filled with negroes. Twenty are
now confined therein.

Santiago de Cuba, Jan. 2-An order
has been received from Havana which,
X enforced. will mean in the judgment
Of the commercial classes here serious
injury to the province. This Is direc-
ton to transmit the entire customs re-

ance with such instructions would in
volve the abandonment of many neces-
sary public improvements especially in
the matter Of roads and water works.
Since the American occupation began
these funds have been used for such
purposes and have been the principal
means OF meeting the necessary ex-
penditures. The Heraldo says that to
carry out this order would rob 10000

Volumes have been written about tucks, hut
they are so conspicuously in the foreground Of
dress trimmings that any novelty in their use
is a surprise, A group Of seven fine tucks
around the overdress OF a nuns yelling gown
set in about Ave inches below the waist line
is certainly unusual, and again we find a cluster
OF tucks about nine inches long in the centre
of the back Of an over lrcss. These are set in
up and down. and are useful in disposing of
the superiuous fulnesS Just at that point.
Tucks below the waist around the front and
sides OF an overdress in red foulard are shown
in the first Illustration. and the special feature
is that they do not extend across the
back. which is quite plain and seamless. The
overdress is trimmed with guipure lace. which
also trims the underskirt. The yoke is OF soft
white silk. tucked in checks in groups Of three.
