Summer Wraps.
From Earper's B2,

From Harper's Bazar.
The smart summer gowns this year are
not always warm enough without the ad-
iition of some wrap. They are so designed
that very often they look as though they
were coats or outside wraps. when In real
ity they are simply the waists of the
gowns: and 1t is necessary, for the sake
of health, to carry some light wrap or
something else to put around the neck to
make them warm enough.
The wraps are Just fascinating as the
opera cloaks of the winter, and very nearly
as expensive, for, as a rule. they are made
of expensive materials, and the fashion is
so new as to make is impossible to have it
copied by any but skilled work people
There is dainty, old-fashioned and pic
turesaue look about the wraps that makes
them essentially different from anything
worn for some time, and both the young
girls and older women wear them, quite
irrespective of age. One thing that must
least becoming to the figure-in fact, hide
all graceful lines. There is one style, for
instance made with a hood that enlarges
the shoulders below where the shoulders
should be. and is extremely scant below the
waist-a trying cut even for the most won
derfully formed figure,

Filipino Ammunition.
From the Cheyenne Tribune.


Charles Cahill of Cheyenne, a member
of the Wyoming battalion in the Philip
pines, writes a letter under date of March
20, in which he says: Behind the Tagalos
trenches have been found number Of
bullets that missed fire. These were most
ly the brass-coated Remington, the only
bullet they use that an American soldier
respects, for when 1t comes through the
air 1t has an awfully wicked sound to 1t.
A wound caused by a brass bullet is al
ways dangerous, and IL fellow is hit by
one of them the chances are pretty much
against him. A great many of their shells
have been reloaded. and We find them
Off Springfield shells were also found
which they had fitted up for use in the
Remingtons. One of our boys found
cached under a hedge. The native who
owned 1t could not have known much
about a gun. for he had the leaf Of the
sight upside down."

Reinstating.

The question of reinstatement is
one which has elected recently
much attention. From various
causes members fail to pay two or
three assessments and then desire
to be reinStated. Yet, notwithstand-
ing the fact that they have been
prohibited from benefits during
this suspension, and in the event of
their deaths during said time, their
heirs could not have received any
pecuniary assistance - they find,
when reinstatement is desired by
them, that it will cost them much
more to he reinstated than it costs
IA new member to Join, and the
question is asked with a good deal
of justice, why should it cost an
old member who is two or three
assessments behind, more to be re-
instated than it would cost him to
Join the Order, il he had never
previously belonged to it? Another
point brought out in the discussion,
and particularly alluded to by Past
President Hartley, was this: The
law now requires that when a mem
ber who has been temporarily sus-
pended for an assessment comes up
the first meeting of the following
month to pay the same and be re-
instated, he is compelled not only
to pay the assessment for which he
was suspended, but also the pend
ing assessment, making two for
which he must produce the money,
and that he doeS not have the grace
to the 2Sth of the month for the
pending assessment, as do his
brethren. 1t may he sald that this
is penalty for failure to pay the
first one, but the fact remains that
it is often almost impossible for the
member to pay two ut once, and the
member is lost to the Order, while
if he could have been allowed to
pay the assessment for which he
had been suspended, and then been
allowed to the 2Slh for the pending
assessment, he could have been re-
tained.-Cdl. Il. 0. u. w.

To The Older Member RS.

All the older members, whose
rates at first seem burdensome,
should not allow their first i'm
preston of the classified plan to so
prejudice their minds as to allow
themselves to become suspended.
Give The plan fair trial, at least
for year, aud we earnestly believe
that by that time everybody will be
firmly convinced that it was the
best thing that could have been
done and that the cost is not SO
high as was expected.
Don't think that any one is try
ing Ia "frerze you out" A deficit
was being created, which could not,
under the old plan, he met except
by heroic measures, and this was
what the A. o. U. w. tried to avoid
All of the older societies are be-
ginning to feel the effects of their
undue cheapness in their early days.
Some, notably the Knights of Honor
and the Royal Arcanum, have
changed their plans SO that the old
er members will pay three or four
times AS much as formerly.
In view Of these facts il would be
the utmost folly for the older MEM
bers to drop out under the belief
that they were being i'll treated.
Far from it. To insure the value of

Matthews pointed out that of the COM
municants 100000 spoke the continental
languages of Europe. Asia and Africa.
while about 100000 spoke the English Ian,

rected particular attention, as he felt it
indicated that the church was either
bound up with the English language or
the language with the church, imposing
in either event serious responsibility on
the church.

A BRILLIANT SCENE.
New York Harbor illuminated in Hon or
of the Admiral.

New York, Sept 2S.-The appearance
of New York harbor tonight could be
compared to d circle of intense light
with the warships off Tomkinsville as
the hub from which the brilliancy radi-
ated. The bay has never been as bril-
liant or as picturesque display of con-
tinuous illumination as that seen to-
night, nor has the interest manifested
by the shore dwellers been greater. Be
ginning at Brooklyn bridge, with it's
starring of white electric lights pune
tuated at stated intervals with red and
green colored arc signal lamps, the i'm
mense brilliant motto, Welcome
Dewey" was suspended as If it were in
mid air.
Looking from the bridge toward the
Jersey coast similar signs could be dis
tinctly read on the gateway of the rail-
roads that are bringing thousands to
swell the pean of welcome to the re-
turning warrior.
Further down the bay, on the Brook
lyn side, was the same fiery Wei
come" and also on Staten island. At
the portal to the city shoue out in let
ters of the brightest light the same
hearty greeting, Welcome Home"
fianked by American flags that could be
seen for miles.
The residents at Quarantine gave for
the benefit of the sailors on the ships
a display of fireworks which was fol-
lowed by other patriotic residents along
the Brooklyn and Jersey coasts. After
the displays of fireworks the Olympia
and New York gave an exhibition with
their searchlights, lighting up passing
craft and picking out in brilliant re-
lief many of the pretty wooded spots on
the Staten island hills. Tomorrow
night the fireworks and illuminations
will be more general.
