and labor lost.
It Is imperative that the under-gar.
ments shall cling closely to- the figure
and fit without a wrinkle, If the skirt
proper is to be seen in all it's glory. Sc
new and curious underclothes are being
designed, and women of fashion are sub

Union suits Of the finest of woven sill

And when the clinging gown is not made
princess fashion, but has separate Goa

to in order to have the waist slim an6

without wrinkle. 81.
One idea Is to have the skirt fitted only
over tights and the material dampenei
and then really pressed to the figure
the skirt having but one seam-that dowr
the back. The cloth skirt Is lined with
silk, and near the bottom, where the Skin
begins to flare, the silk lining is effectively
trimmed, and in this way takes the place
OF silk petticoat. ......
Another idea Is to have the ''eeI' Skin

The skin-tight 'eel' skirt is the latest
fashion. .
It is not modest. ..~.-
1t is not graceful. .~........
1t is not comforta BILE. -.
Yet no fashion for generations has
created such frore among society
women.
This "eel' skirt, which is intended to
reveal rather than hide the figure, comes
straight from Paris, and even Paris
shakes her head a little over it.
But American women have accepted it
with genuine delight. And have gone to
the further extreme of slkin-tight sleeves,
glove-ftting bodices and tights and jerseys
as a substitute for fluffy lingerie,
A theory has existed for some time past
that women were really growing more
sensible They have appeared to find COM
have proudly adorned themselves with
loose corsets, loose shoes and short
skirts. - -,
Now, In the twinkling of an eye, COM
mon sense is thrown to the winds and
compressed waists, dragging skirts and
the lowest Of low bodices are again the
rage
Can it be possible that women have only
been sensible because common sense was
the fad? Or is this questionable style Of
dress merely an end of the century mad
ness? 49,. -
Everybody knows the tradition that at
the end of a century there Is likely to be
a relaxation in the morality of the people,
Why may not this show itself in dress as
we'll as in literature and in art? -
Charles Dudley Warner, who has made
a study Of the fads and foibles Of the
modern girl, says: "All modes of dress
are the outward and visible signs Of an in
ward and political change in a nation
If these new fashions Indicate political
change in the nation, what possible
change can this be? .,
Surely modesty is not the keynote Of
the newest fashions of the spring. The
latest French model gowns portray too
perfectly every curve of the figure to be
called modest. And they are as uncom-
Portable as they are frank.
Walking ceases to be pleasure, and
sitting becomes a positively dangerous

hob1a, and In its tertiary state. We
) not favor capital punishment un-
er any circumstances, but being law
oiding we submit to it's being enforc-
1; and, would not utter one word
gainst it's enforcement, when the ac-
Used has been deemed guilty Of a cap
al crime by jury of his peers. What
object to is, mob murders, no mat
r who the victims may be.
The same paper contained an ac-
>unt of the legal hanging of an Afro
,merican in Chestertown, Md, who
hot and instantly killed another Afro
lmerican, claiming to have done so
1Aen he was drunk for the first AMI
asst time IN his life, and that he had
10 feeling of any kind against his vic
i'm and really no conception of his ac-
ions. Some attempts were made to
have his sentence committed, but to no
avail, and he went to his death calmly
and without flinching.
The same paper gave an account of
the killing of an Afro-American by a
white man in West Virginia. The
Afro-American was assaulting and at
tempting to rob the white mans wife
and he, though lying in bed ill, secured
a pistol and shot the robber dead. The
white man was acquitted by the cor
oner's jury. These latter two cases
only go to show that the law is fully
able to deal with all cases in a way
that ought to satisfy any but the muir
derous hell hounds who revel in gore,
that infest the south.
We were not surprised to hear of
the lynchings above mentioned, but
we were little surprised that not one
word of condemnation was uttered bv
the aforesaid contemporary. Can it be
that silence may be taken as consent?
We do not believe in all the dogmas of
Bob 1ngersoll, but we are with him
in regard to capital punishment. He
says no punishment ought to be in
f1icted which cannot be melted out bv
a gentleman, and that even those who
are the legal executioners of diabol-
lcal punishments, including capital
punishment, are usually low ours at
heart. What man with the right sort
of heart could knout a fellow man to
death? If the boosted civilization and
Christianity of the Ambassadors of
this country can allow them to see or
know of such diabolical crimes cim-
mitted against fellow mentor the
constitution of this country says "all
men are born free and equal albeit
they are black, and they do not lift so
much as their voices against such hell
born crimes, then God deliver us from
such civilization and Christianity. Its
all bosh!

fact, Understandable women this season
at all social functions win sit only at
brief intervals, and then with the greatest

permit their doing otherwise with any
degree of comfort. =;.E@
When the skin-tight' skirt first made its
appearance in New York it was supposed
to be dedicated exclusively to the tailor
made girl. ~ -. :.
The skirt was seen only in the ultra
fashionable cloth tailor-made gowns.
But now all the imported dresses are
made. with the; clinging skirt; the only
adherence visible is in the degree in which
they, cling. q e
A. number of the latest French even
i: ing gowns are called shadow dresses.
Some are made entirely Of creamey gui-
pure lace over Ssilk Of exactly the same
tint and they are nodded to the figure.
The effect Is mysterious and beautiful.
Others are of nuns yelling, lined with
the thinnest of china silk. The nuns

Clinging evening gowns Of coarse mesh

are also shownt among the imported nov
elites. They are most mysterious gowns

her modiste. The gown looks as though
it never came off and as though fimsy
fabric and flesh were one
Many Of these shadow gowns bear a
remote resemblance to those unmention-
able gauze-like costoumes which weighed
exactly one pound and were the end-of-
the-century madness just 100 years ago.
But the, clinging gowns Of the spring of
'99 are not as yet indecent. and the great
er number of them are artistic.
Already these costumes with their "eer'
skirts are responsible for much. They
have occasioned more gossip than any
fashion for a generation past. They have
caused the greatest amount Of discom-
fort to femininity in general. They have
made sick the heart of the athletic girl
and brought woe to the fat woman. And
they have entirely revolutionized femin-
inc underwear. ~

CREW DISSATISFIED
At Not Receiving Transportation From
 the Government.

San Francisco, May 1.-The crew or the transport Grant has been paid off and dis charged Including all hands, there were upWard of 15O men. They shipped at New York for the trip to Manila, thence to San Francisco, and understood that they were to receive transportation back to New York. Every man of the crew declared that the articles were read to him with the transportation clause in them when he shipped from New York.
 The articles were read to the crew at the time of their discharge, but in them was nothing about transportation to New York. The crew of the Sherman will come out of quarantine next week with similar story and the men of the Sheridan, now on her way from Mania, will probably have a similar tale to tell. The crew of the Grant realize that for their fare home they are dependent entirely upon the gov- ernment's generosity.
 telegram from Superintendent Long of the transport service at San Francisco states that few of the crew of the Sher- man will leave because it is not desirable to retain them, and some others are dis satisfied The shipping commissioner at San Francisco says the ships transporta- tion does not go to New York They say the United States mercantile shipping blanks for six months for Manila to a port in the United States.

REFUSED ENTREATIES
Alger Says He Don't to Do It, But
 Must

Washington, May 1.-The secretary of war has received earnest applications from all the states west of the Mississippi re- garding volunteer troops in the Philippines, asking that these troops be brought home to the United States by way of the Suez canal route instead of across the Pacific to San Francisco. The applications cover every volunteer organization in the Philip pines, and are backed by the personal ap- peals of the personal representatives of the various states now in this city. AL though he would like to accommodate the people in this matter, Secretary Alger has been compelled to deny every one of these applications. The reasons given for the action of the department are that 1t would not be expedient to take the troopships from their regular station on the Pacific that the Suez route is much longer and much more expensive and that the route is regarded as unsafe owing to climatic con- ditions at this season of the year, espe- cally for troops which have undergone the fatigues and hardships of long campaign in the Philippines.

Mrs. Robert Jemison opened her beauti- flu home in Sixth avenue yesterday after noon from 5 to o'clock for one of the notably brilliant affairs that society has attended this season.

 The decorations in the pageant blooms formed the centre piece above which was suspended a floral packet of the same bri lantly hued flowers Bunches of sweet pears were caught with ribbon at diagonal corners of the table, and the entire apartment was one of the most at tractive imag nable with it's beautiful furn- ishings, and profusion of rare blossoms, which to many of the guests bloomed with sweoter significance from the fact that they had boomed especially for the oc- casion in a garden in the dear old univers- ity town not so far away Cooling b5ver- ages were served in the reception hall from a huge block of ice hollowed out and filed with mint and fruits.
 The toilcttes worn by the lade in the re- ceving party were distinctly smart. Mrs Tutwiler were white and green taHeta, showing delicately lowered design. The corsage was trimmed with green velvet.
