A STORY BY SECRETARY GAGE.

Secretary Gage is the greatest story
teller in the cabinet. He has Lincoln's
habit of fitting an anecdote to almost
any subject which comes before him
for consideration. When E. w. Harden,
the newspaper correspondent, was select
ed by the president to be a commissions
to report on industrial conditions in the
Philippines, Gen. Otis was quoted as say
ing that he would exclude Harden from
the islands The only explanation of the
generals prejudice was an article pub
lished in San Francisco, in which Harden
appeared as saying some very severe
things about Otis.
WELL" was Secretary Cages comment,
when Harden was speaking of the matter
to him, whether o wrote that article
or not, you are probably now in the same
state of mind as the man whose wife
sent him down cellar to draw a pitcher
Of cider. His foot slipped on the top step,
and with a fearful noise he rolled over
himself all the way to the bottom. The
wife rushed to the cellar door.
"'John,' she called down, did you
smash the pitcher?
"'No, blankety-blank it, g%roaned John
in reply, L didn't; but I'll do it now!

THE TELEPHONE IN LONDON.

Several rather sensational articles have
lately appeared in England condemning
the manner in which the city of London
is lighted, and claiming, moreover, that
it is the darkest capital in Europe.
Whether this is so or not we leave our
technical contemporaries on the other
side to decide, as several of them were
apparently eager to pick up the gauntlet
thrown down. What, however, is more
surprising to us, and on doubt will be
to our leaders, is that the police depart
ment of LondOn does not make use of the
telephone. According to one of our
English contemporaries, there is not a
police station in the whole of that great
metropolis equipped with an instrument
that has become almost as common and
as necessary in the United States as the
electric light. The absence of the phone
in one of the most important branches
Of the city'S service is due, so it is al
legged, not to any fault of the local tele-
phone but rather to an unusual
conservatism exhibited by the authori-
ties, who have repeatedly declined to
avail themselves of the privilege. In this
respect the authorities Of London are APP
parently showing the same spirit which
prompted many of the banking houses
to decline to have a telephone installed
on their premises on the ground that lit
was not quite respectable"
How the police department in a city,
such as London, can get along without
some speedy method of communication,
such as only the telephone can supply,
is incomprehensible to the ordinary
| mortal on this side of the Atlantic. In
| New York city in the event of a childs
| becoming lost or a person disappearing
| every police station in the department
is notified to hat effect by telephone in
| less than half an hour from the time
| the news is received. We should like
to know how this sending out of a gen.
| eral alarm and description is accom-
| plished in London. Possibly a dozen
| messengers are dispatched to make the
| rounds of all the stations, or the tele-
graph is made use of. AS a contrast to
| the methods adopted in London it may
| come as a surprise to some of u Eng
| lish readers to learn that during civil
| and military parades in New York city
| booths are erected along the route the
| procession will follow, to enable the
| chief of police at headquarters to be
constantly kept Informed as to the
whereabouts of the parade or told OF
any unusual disturbance. The fire de-
partment in London, in contrast to the
police department, has telephones In all
the fire houses. bat the arrangement

FRENCH WALKING DRESSES
THE ARE OF HANDSOME CLOTH TRIMMED WITH THE CosTL1EsT,
RICHEST FURs-A FUR MILITARY JACKET.

Paris, Feb. 10.-Although it is nearly
spring. as fashion writer's are fond of
saying. in order to rush the season. it
is a fact that a long winter remains
ahead of us. Specially long to those
who love green grass and waving trees.
Paris women are not proverblally fond
of nature and they seek to make win
ter attractive by designing so many
pretty and tasteful costumes. 1t is real
ly wonderful the variety they effect.
In the other great winter cities, they
have a stated design for coat and skirt
n cling to it, but the Paris woman
revels in the short military jacket of
fur: and in the pointed fur coat
quite out of the ordinary. In a way she
clings to the styles but she allows herself
wide variation for individual taste.
1t is said that a French woman never
throws anything away. Certainly she
has used up her odds and ends of fur
this year for her gowns are trimmed
with narrow panels, with pockets and
with small bands of fur of all kinds,
from the richest to the cheapest.
A BERNHARDT MANTLE.
On the street 1 saw a very chic Bern
hardt mantle worn over a gown of pur-
pie velvet. The mantle was made of
heavy mingled goods with the foundation
of wool and the figures of silk. The back
ground of the material was a light eclu
COlUI, anu tHt lS - sA.'uIN AZ " t'AiSS
of purple.
The mantle reached the edge OF the
dress skirt. which swept the ground. 1t
fitted very close at the back and sides
while the front formed a box effect. The
front was made of light ecru ladies' cloth
stitched heavily and trimmed with very
large pearl buttons, around the edge OF
which was a tiny cut steel border.
The revers of this Bernhard mantle
were of black sable. They turned back
from a vest of pale purple silk. About
the neck was a full chiffon tie of the same
color with end that were accordion plant
ed and trimmed with narrow frills of the
chiffon.
There was something very smart about
the sleeves. They had only the slightest
fulness at the shoulder. but at the wrist
rounded away very much like the fash
ionable capes do at the front; they We're
finished by a ruffle Of light weight adles
cloth.
The hat worn with the wrap was very
pretty. 1t was shaped like what we call
at home, the short back sailor. Over the
crown there was another crown Of pur-
pie velvet which was secured with a
straight band of the same material. The
inside of the brim was quilted with chlf-
fon the same delicate shade as the vest of
the waist.
Pompons of ostrich feathers and soft
aigrettes trimmed the hat, combined with
a knot Of ecru color lace, which was set
at the base of the crown in front.
A handsome black sable muff was car
ried, lined with purple satin, and the
gloves We're of undressed kid. They were
made to order for they match
ed without the merest difference in tone,
the color Of the gown.
