RETURNING SOCIAL OBLIGA-
TT0NS

Women who wish to pay off heavy
social obligations at New Year time
sometimes send a few pounds Of candy
in a dainty satin box enclosed in
painted satin mouchoir case. The case
is done in colors that harmonic with
the box. Often these cases are very
large, and the painting is really
beautiful landscape, valuable as a work
of art. The price depends upon the
size and quality of the painting, $50
being a reasonable price, while $3.50
has been paid. But neither of these
prices need be paid when so many nov
elites can be gotten UP at home.
Bonbons are always popular for
German favors. The proper caper for
holiday dances are tiny baskets, filled
with red and white bonbons, and tied
with scarlet satin bows. These are
especially appropriate for New Year
hunt club ball, where all the decora-
lions are scarlet and green and every
things gayly emblematic of the merry
season.

PLAGUE IN HONOLULU.
A Claim That There is No Immediate
DANGER.

hanger.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, December
29.-Mail advices from Honolulu to the
Associated Press regarding the bubonic
plague situation say:
President Dole, while realizing the
seriousness of the situation, does not
believe there is much cause for alarm.
The President thinks there is NO dan
ger to those whose houses, persons and
food are clearly. He has unbounded
confidence in the ability Of the board
Of health to quiely stamp out the dis
ease.
Some physicians claim that the dis
ease is not the black plague. Public
opinion is divided also. Many believe
that if the plague were present in
Honolulu the inhabitants of Chinatown
would be carried off by the hundreds
on account of the filthy condition of the
district. Another interesting phase Of
the case is the fact that no Japanese
have been attacked. They live in large
numbers In the quarantined district.
The council Of state met in extraor-
binary session on December 18th and
appropriated $4,000 for immediate
use CT the board Of health in combating
the plague.
An OF the districts outside OF Homo
lulu are in a clean condition and there
is little danger that the plague will gain
a foothold in the other islands.

A bodice that is the embodiment of
the seasons craze for contrast and
elaboration is made of pastel blue
crepe de chine upon a fitted lining of
the same color silk. The bodice is ap-
pliqued with the narrowest bands of
black ribbon put On to produce a
plaided effect. The yoke is scolloped
and stitched with many rows of stitch
ing as is the lower part of the waist.
The two divisions are supported, as it
were, by broad band of black satin
which begirds the figure and rises to
a scarcely perceptible point at the
bust line.
A deep square with detachable fill
ing of satin constitutes the neck
trimming which may be removed for
evening purposes. The sleeves present
something entirely new in the broad
trimming below the shoulders and are
extremely pretty.

Special Washington Correspondence
WASHINGTON, December 2s.-The
apparent acquiescence of the United
States in the lawless seizures by Great
Delagoa Bay is another illustration OF
the great change brought about in
American policy by the Spanish war,
and its alteration of the traditional
American attitude toward England. A
few years ago the confiscation of
cargo of American flour bound to
neutral port would have been eagerly
jumped at as the occasion for an outs
burst Of official jingoism, but to-day
such an incident, contrary though it be
to the law of nations and to the prin-
ciples long adhered to by our State de-
partment, is merely made the subject
OF routine inquiry, the intimation be-
ing at the same time conveyed to the
public that England will square matters
by paying for the cargoes confscated.
The principle governing international
commerce in time of war is a very SIM
pie one. 1t is that such commerce shall
not be interfered with, except it be in
contraband of war. Or bound to
blockaded port. A neutral has the
right to continue trade in non-contra~
band articles to the ports of bellger-
cnts not blockaded, and the seizure Of
innocent ships and cargoes is a serious
breach of this right. Speaking Of the
ligerents, Jefferson, in 1898, said "such
stoppage to an unblockaded port would
be so unequivocal an infringement of
the neutral rights that we cannot con-
ceive it will be attempted" He was re-
ferring at the time to British seizures
of grain bound to French ports.
In the course of instructions to Mr..
Pinckney, written in 1897, Secretary of
State Pickering said: Before the
treaty with Great Britain (the Jay
treaty. her cruisers captured neutral
vessels bound to France with provis-
ions. She asserted that in certain cases
provisions were contraband of war,
consequently that she might lawfully
capture and confiscate such provisions.
We opposed the principle and the prac-
tice Britain insisted on her right. In
! this dilemma it was agreed by the
treaty that whenever provisions be-
coming contraband by the law of ma
tons should be captured, they should
be paid for with a reasonable mercan-
tile profit. This stipulation, without
admitting the principle, by securing the
American merchants from loss in case
OF capture, would certainly tend to pro-
mote rather than to discourage adven-
lures in provisions to France" The
stipulation in the Jay treaty, to which
Pickering refers, evidently represents
the view of England to-day, and it is
by this stipulation, the principle of
which has never been admitted to be
the true one by this government, thGt
both governments are being guided in
the present seizures OF American pro-
visions. England evidently considers
-four consigned to Delagoa Bay, and
probably intended for use in the Trans
vaal to be contraband, according to the
commonly accepted doctrine that pro-
visions are net contraband if for the
ordinary uses of life in the enemy's
military use. But England has as
serted a contrary view when it suited
her purpose. During the Franco-Chi-
nese war France declared rice contra

tracted Europe, making her task al
most an impossible one, she gave her.
self up heart and soul to the difficult
and dangerous business oe finding out
a secret that was without doubt a po-
litical one.
She appealed to the Emperor Ma
poleon himself for information, and he
assured her through mbaceres that
on his word of hotior he know nothing
of the matter beyond what he had seen
in the papers. She demanded per-
sonal interview with him, and there
is no doubt that they met, but what
she asked the great man and what lie
answered has never transpired. But she
received his permission to advertise
for her husband in the Moniteur and
all the French papers, but with no re-
suit. The poor soul travelled all ove'
Germany, staying for months at Per,e-
berg and the neighborhood, where she
offered the most liberal rewards even
for the slightest clue to the secret.
But, though the sums offered would
have made any of the peasants or the
dwellers in the somewhat poverty
stricken place rich beyond the dreams
of avarice, no one ever claimed them,
no one came forward with even a gar
bled statement of facts; there was
never glimmer of light to dispel the
darkness. -.
Mrs. Bathurst never gave up the
hope of his return to the last hour of
her life, and she lived to be very old
woman.
The husband OF her youth was to her
still a living figure, and she firmly r.
lieved that the hour would come when
he would come back to her once more.
Her life was sad and troubled one,
but that consolation was always hers,
though her dream, as we know, was
never realized.
Of her three children, the eldest,
son, was killed when riding steeple-
chase at Rome; while the sad fate of
her daughter, the beautiful Rosa
Bathurst; is still remembered there,
and the place is still shown on the
banks of the Tiber where her horse
reared with her, apd-the river being
in food-fell back and drowned her in
the stream. She was riding with the
man to whom she was to be married
shortly. She was only II and adj
mired and loved by all.
No wonder that her mothers heart
was half broken. Still, through all
her troubles she was sustained by the
belief that her husband would return;
but the grave does. not give up its
dead, and the well-kept secret has
never been disclosed.
