How ErenchMomen Lace.

In the first place silk corset strings
are invariably used. They are not
much more expensive than the cotton
ones and give far more satisfactory
results. Three separate laces are re
quired The top one is laced loosely,
to give ease and fullness 10 the bust
The second one, which is shorter. IS
pulled very tight to compress the waist
line only and the third string, that
shapes the hips. is looser than the sec
ond, but tighter than the first. one
long string may be used instead Of
three by leaving it loose at the top and
knotting it where 1t tightens above
and below the waist line, then tying
more loosely a the bottom. Much Of
the apparent hexibility of 1vette Gull
bert's figure depended upon the secret
of this peculiar lacing.
Corsets are longer on the hips and
snugger than they We're last year and
the bust, though still low. is the least
trifie higher.-Chicago Times Herald.

Special Dispatch to The Call.

PARIS, Jan. 9.-The Echo de Paris
this morning publishes a statement by
NJ Quesnay de Beaurepaire of the rea-
son Tor his resignation of the presi-
dency Of the civil section of the Court
OF Cessation. In a long document he
virtually protests against what he sug-
gests is conspiracy on the part Of the
Court of Cessation to exonerate Drey-

TALLY by declaring that his resignation
was intended to avenge the army and
its generals for the sufferings they

LONDON, Jan. 10.-The Paris CORE

Il really seems as if the Dreyfus affair
can only move by earthquakes. I'm
doubtedly the action of NJ. Quesnay
de Beaurepaire will precipitate crisis
which may prove the graVest the Drey-

The Paris correspondent Of the Daily

MATAAFA ELECTED
KING OF SAMOA
This Is Satisfactory to the Signatory
Powers to tbs Berlin


NEW YORK, Jan. "A Washington
special to the Herald says: Mataafa has
been elected King of Samoa to succeed
Malietoa- Official information to this eff
feet has been received here. The election
was held without trouble though Tam
asese, who was vice king in 1881, backed
by a small following, endeavored to obtain
the office. The situation according to the
latest advices is quiet.
Mataafa's election is highly satisfac-
tory not only to the Washington Govern
ment, but to the German and British Gov
ernments, because of the certainty that
he will be guided in his action by the
wishes of Consuls in Apia of the signatory
powers to the Berlin treaty.
A collier, the Abarenda, is now fitting
out at Norfolk for cruise to Page Page,
where she will deliver 1000 tons of coal.
After this coal has been stored it is prob
able that a man-of-war will be directed to
cruise to Samoa to display the flag.

Four cars were entirely consumed by
fire and several others were so badly
broken up as to be practically valueless
The three engines, which were among the
finest used by the road, are practically
scrap iron.
A new track was built around the wreck
and traffic was delayed only a few hours.
Trainmen at the wreck do not attempt
to account for the accident, and the Off
Gals at headquarters profess to be equally
ignorant. The only solution they offer is
that possibly the engineer of the west
bound train may have fallen asleep at
his post. All the employees involved are
among the oldest and most trustworthy
in the operating denartment of the road.
