Intcreatcd Queen Victoria.

Queen Victoria took a good deal of
kindly interest in the recent marriage
of the niece Of the late John Brown.
Miss Brown was one Of her majesty's
many goddaugbters and was named
Victoria. As child she often accompa-
MED her uncle to the castle, and the
queen gave her hosts Of pretty toys
For wedding gift her majesty sent
her a silver teapot Inscribed "V. B.,
From Victoria, r. L.. November 8,
1885," as we'll as presenting her with
a handsome wedding dress and bridal
veil with orange blossoms and lucky
white heather

The Sent of the Soul.

The facetious man ambled gingerly
over the icy pave.
"These are the times that try mems
soles," he called to passing friend.
He threw a heavy emphasis on the
"soles'' and the friend smiled.
At that moment the punster's feet
few from under him and he came down
with a resoundin2 thwack.
II see, said the passing friend, with
much gravity, THAT the exact seat of
the soul is still matter Of doubt. -

very short GOAT, four inches at the most
below the waist line, with some sort OF
scalloped finish, or long coat or cape
to the knee or longer coat which near
ly covers the entire gown. The decision
should be governed chiefly by the style
of the figure, and incidentally the size
of the dress allowance, perhaps, since
the long coat Is not always suitable for
every occasion, and the woman who
can present an engiable% appearance In a
three-quarter coatsmust be divinely tall,
graceful and slender. Some of the pref
test garments in this< rather trying
length are the capes made with scant
fullness around, hugging the shoulders
very closely with only two side plaits
below the yoke In the back. meeting In
the center to giveia pretty fare. These
are made Of CLOTH velvet and various
combinations Of velvet, fur, lace and chif-
fon, which make them very dressy. The
special feature Isl the close fit around
the shoulders giving something of the
old-time sloping effect.
The long coats, and semi-long cloaks
and coats, are distinctly the novelties Of
the season, but whether they will be-
come popular OF not remains to be seen
Late In the summer at the fashionable
watering places in France, these half
long coats made of linen were worn in
blue and gray to match the muslin gown
underneath, or of white cloth over the
white-lace- trimmed muslin gowns. This
Is certainly an argument In favor of
their adoption by American women since
Partisan modes have the lead. and the
winter materials are SO much more ele.
giant than linen and white cloth. a

ALAsKA's FIRST
Territorial Convention Is Now in
Session at Juneau


JUNEAU, Alaska, Oct 14.-Alaska,s
first territorial convention, attended by
delegates from every part of the terri
tory, was called to order in the opera
house, and will spend two weeks in pre-
pairing for the next congress Alaska's
needs in the way of legislation.
EX-Gov. Swineford was elected perma-
nent chairman, and Hal Hoffman, of Jul
neau, secretary. Resolutions presented
by Judge A. K. Delaney, of Juneau, were
adopted, expressing the uncomprOmising
opposition of the convention of surrender
to Great Britain, in any manner, of terri
tory acquired by the United States from
Russia, and calling upon President Nc
Kinley and the authorities at Washing
ton to firmly resist any attempt. however
insidious, of any foreign power for the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Alaska A copy of the
resolution was forwarded to President
Mckinley.
During today's session a letter was read
from Senator Foster, of Washington,
written subsequently to his visit to this
territory last summer, which was received
with manifestations of approval and en-
tered in full upon the minutes. Standing
committees on all important branches of
the conventions proposed work were APP
pointed They will do most of the work
in committee room.

of the favorite fancies among the new
models. The trimming of the overdreSs

yoke and collar are of lace striped around
with bands of the velvet which cluster

the bodice below both back and front.
Another variety of trimming for cloth
gowns is made by cutting the cloth In
buttonhole Sits and threading velvet rib
bon through them. The openings may be
finished in buttonhole stitch. or, II wide
enough with fine satin cord, which is
g. very nice finish. SILK bralds in fancy

fancy which is peculiarly effective on

ton by liquldating loans is not at an end
Still, 1t is not to be overlooked In this
connection that the anticipation OF treas
ury interest may afford some relief, but
not enough to materially alter the exist
ing situation.
The loans and deposits Of the banks
are now at the lowest point for the whole
year A remarkable feature Of the case
is that time money and commercial loans
do not reflect the existing stringency here,
rates holding only little above the aver
age, but the action of interior banks
which are steady buyers of paper, Is &C
countable for this.
The next two or three weeks will go FAR
toward determining the average rate for
money for a considerable time, as the
crop season Is ending, but the fact that
prices are universally higher and business
more active, two factors necessitating
larger volume of currency at ell points,
sets the usual calculation as to the
amount of possible relief through re-
turn flow of money at naught During
the week domestic exchange at important
cities dropped from 10 to % cents, tan
gible Illustration that the demand for
funds is not yet at an end.

FINANCIER FIGURES.
Summing Up of Situation by That
Accepted Authority.


NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE -Finaneier
says The banks of New York were able
last week to add small sum to surplus
reserves, but this result was made posi-
BILE only through a contraction of loans
and deposits. There was decrease of
81, 6S2 800 in. loans, and of 1922 600 in de-
posits The contraction in the latter
item lessened reserve requirements by
s., 800 900, and this more than counterbal
anced the loss of $1,000,000 in cash, thus
accounting for the gain Of 1874, 100 in-sur
plus. The statement is to be considered
fairly satisfactory, but If its totals are
correct the receipts of gold from Europe
and the Pacific coast have not been suf-
ficient to meet losses to the interior and
to the treasury. AS there is no diminu-
ton in the demands for funds from the
interior, the outlook for q further acces
sion of cash from this center is not as
bright as was the case during the previ-
Gus week, and the inference IS that the
familiar expedient of meeting the situa-
