ALASKAN BOUNDARY NATTER.


LONDON. Aug. IS.-Sir Charles Tupper.
formerly Canadian high commissioner. in
an interview with a representative Of the
Associated Press said:
1.-The United States IL purposely delaying
the settlement of the Alaskan dispute on
account of the pecuniary benefit accruing
to miners and coast cities through delay
and has refused to have the boundary de-
limited as Is being done in Venezuela. No
settlement ever could be reached through
the even side commission suggested by the
United States. We have reached an i'm
passe and have no intention OF resumlng
negotiations In regard 10 matters pending
between Canada and America until the
Alaskan question is settled. l propose that
a British railroad be built from kitimata
to Dawson and that law he passed al
lowing only Britishers 10 mine on the
Yukon. The moment this is done the OBJ
jcct OF the United States in preventing Il
settlement disappears The Dominion 10 n

RENNES, Aug. 19.-Glorot, who claims
to be the man who attempted 10 assas-
sinate NJ. Labori. was brought TO Rennes
this evening. Col. Picquart, NJ. Cast and
others who saw the would-be assassin, de-
clared Glorot was not the man.
The prisoner has written a letter to. the
police, making an alleged confession and
clarifying the crime. Doctors say he Is in

The police think the prisoner Is only
lunatic or drunkard DESTROYS OF attracting
attention, and hts so-called confession may
turn out to be nothing more than an empty
boast. The police, however. are investi-
gazing the recent movements Of the pris-

OLD-FASHIONED PURSES
Rhcy Are In Fashion Again, and the
HOEaelIer They Arc the More
Popular.

Purses carried by women nowadays
are in fancy grains and fancy colors,
the grain of the leather giving an ap-
pearance of shading, while the edges
are bound i'll plain shade of the same
color or in contrasting color. These
purses are all made in the common pat
terms, with change and bill compart-
ments.
There is a revival of an old German
purse, which is a big fiat pouch when
opened and has fiat top frame of steel
in four pieces. The sides of the purse
are fiat and bound with straight pieces
of steel, while the leather forms bag
hanging from these side steels. The
end steels are half as wide and are
hinged to the side pieces, folding across
the top and meeting in the middle with
a clasp like change purse.
When opened wide the whole purse
is spread out about eight inches long.
There is place for everything and
everything in it's place in one big bag.
Its bulk, when filled with the usual
array of memoranda and samples must
be detrimental to its popularity, as
it must be held clasped in the hand,
and it makes pretty good handful.
The popular purse, however, is of the
plainest and homeliest type. 1t is the
finger purse" named from the wom-
ems habit of carrying it with the fin
gers thrust through the big retaining
strap across the front. This purse is
made of three plain strips of roughly
finished pigsliin, making two compart-
ments in the simplest form. One is
gusseted for change and the other
is fiat pocket for bills. The flaps of
both compartments slip through
strap across the front piece. The
whole is scwed about the edges with
harness stitching, with Lo attempt at
ornamentation.
To indivdualize this purse there are
big brass initials, the same as are used
in ornamenting brass-trimmed sets of
harness. These are furnished with re-
tanning pins on the back, which are
easily thrust through the leather and
pressed down fiat.
There is something rich about the
appearance of these simple purses, and
their oddly has made them the most
poplar among the young folk.-Wash-
ington Star

TO ADORN THE WALLS.
Some Things That Any Bright Girl
Can Easily Do 10 Beautify
Room,

Money doesn't always control the
homelike atmosphere of a place, for
some of the costliest of houses are veri-
table refrigerators, and no more re-
lated to solid comfort than a corner in
furniture store. But the real bright
woman who proposes to have her house
a home will cultivate atmosphere.
Onyx and solid gold aren't necessary
for this-a little taste will answer the
purpose. Now that the camera has be-
come family affair it can be put to
good use, too. n certain young matron
has novel scheme of decoration for
one of the contest of homes. One room
she calls her portrait gallery. In it
she has dozens of pictures of beautiful
women that she has taken from the
magazines. They are mounted on mats
of various sizes and colors and are
pinned to the wall with artistic irreg-
ularity.
Another room she calls her outing"
chamber. Here are all of the souven-
IRIS and relies Of outing days. The
amateur photograph plays leads"
here, and there are pictures of the cot
tage, the hay rack ready for the ride,
a bathing group upon the beach and
many other characteristic scenes.
Then there is a net, a racket, a SOM
brero, a mountain stick, strings of sea
shells. any number of other things that
find their way back to the house after
the summers outing.
One of the daintiest of the rooms is
filled entirely with pictures of chill
dren. These include everything from
water color paintings to newspaper
half-tones.
This scheme of decoration can be
enlarged in a great variety of ways.
Flowers and animals-each is a subject
sufficient to fill room.
There is no entertainment in bare
walls, and pictures such as have been
mentioned are too often thrown away
or packed in piles and put under the
table or in out-of-the-way places where
they are of little use to anyone. If
photographs seem too small to be dec
orativc they can be easily separated
from the cardboard and remounted on
an attractive background. In remov
ing do not attempt to take the photo
graph from the cardboard, but peel off
the cardboard layer by layer until it
is thin enough to remount. The small
est sized tacks can be used for holding
up such pictures. They need be driven
in but little way, and they will not
injure the wall. Too much reverence
is often paid to bare walls-many a
time they have doomed up CHASTITY and
unadorned for years just because 1.-The
landlady wouldn't like it if you'd drive
u tack in the wall. "-Detroit Free Press.

T0qucs for the Fall.

Toques, whether of tulle or straw, are
now turned up in front or more de
cidedly so on the left side, the latter
arrangement being most invariably
chosen when flowers are used for trim
ming. These are arranged in large
cluster covering the whole of the por-
ton of the turnedup brim, which rises
rather higher than the crown. Medium
sized Observation-Disclosures roses, OK
eyed daisies, peoples, corntlowers, and
for the early autumn, asters and small
dahlias-are most appropriate to the
purpose. For trimming hats, on the
contrary, large blossoms are preferred.
y sudden furore for the grandi-fora
clematis has lately been evinced. The
particular shades of mauve and lilac
natural to it are the favorites in these
colors, and has helped to bring them
into fashion.-Millincry Trade Review

PRETTY FANCIES.
Various Trines Which Are Now POpu-
lar with Followers of
the Fashions.

Never was lace in such demand as it
is to-day; every kind and description
for every possible use. 1t is the keynote
of young girls attire, and she never
was dainticr than she has been since the
avalanche of lace descended upon her.
Skirts, seamless and all over lace; boil
eros ready to put on, parasol covers,
tunics and guimps, as well as lace
bought by the mile; polonaises of eN-
quisite limitations of Venetian point and
point de Flandre," ready shaped, are
among the lace connections of the day.
Gui pure has been revived. Laces are
mixed regardless of their particular
era.
Wells of white and cream colored and
plain tulle without dots take the lead.
There is fresh rage for white gloves.
The popularity of this article has di-
minished so very little that the sudden
demand is scarcely noticeable.
Orchids for hat trimming is a new
idea this summer. When combined
with a darker shade of velvet they are
strikingly handsome.
Parasols, narrow tucked from the
center to the edge, is the greatest nov
city offered in any one line of sun
shades in years.
Pique, linen. Grassland duck skirts
are deliberately embroidered and APP
pliqued.
A Partisan fancy is to be one flower
girl. A striking brunette who INDUCES
in this illusion wears all the shades
of violet, from lilac to royal purple
and green. The violet is her flower,
of course, and ladens her hat and her
corsage, is the figure in the cloth of her
gowns, and its fragrance on her per-
son makes her very real violet girl.
Silks with blurred designs are com
bined with some vivid hue. usually laid
under lace insertions or lining ru1lles.
Spanish turbans, with jetted brims
and pompons of tulle, give dashing and
daring etfcct.-N. y. Tribune.
