A remarkable incident, showing burg
lars tenderness OF heart, occurred in
Brooklyn. N. Y, on the night of July 4th.
Provided with the skeleton keys and the
usual tools of his nefarious business, a
burglar entered a fiat house, in Quincy
street. He removed bis shoes, so as to
make no noise, and proceeded to ex-
anime the flat. In one room he found a
child, sleeping in crib, and close at
hand woman asleep on couch. They
were both sleeping so soundly that his
entrance did not disturb them. Quietly
and deftly, he cleared the table Of val
uables, ransacked the bureau drawers
and searched the trunks. Such articles
as were suitable for his purpose he de.
posted in bag on the floor, and had
valuable collection of spoons, watches
and other portable property ready for
removal. 1t was necessary. in order to
reach his exit, for the burglar to pass
again through the room in which the
two sleepers lay. AS he passed the childs
crib he saw the little one, a golden haired
girl, about two years old, in paroxysm
of whooping-cough. The little creature
was choking and needed immediate as
sistance, but the mother was sleeping
the heavy sleep of exhaustion, and was
unconscious of her child's peril. To
arouse her involved the abandonment OF
the plumber, possibly detection, and
long term Of Imprisonment, but to allow
the child to die before his eyes was more
than he could bear. His better nature
prevailed. He went to the sleeping wo-
man, shook her gently, and pointed to
the child. She was on her feet in an in.
slant and at the child 'sside. 1t was not
until the remedy she administered had
given relief, and her darling was resting
quietly, that she realized what had oc-
Cured. The man who had aroused her
was gone, but on the floor was his bag
of plumber, and his shoes which he had
dropped in his flight. These articles, and
the disorder in the room sufficiently ex-
planned the object of the mans opportune
presence in the fiat. The woman's hus-
band, who is policeman, is anxious to
catch the man who broke into his home,
but the mother is willing to forgive that
injury for the sake of the service he rem.
dered in saving her child's life Chris.

Admiral Sampson to be Relieved.

At the conclusion OF the Dewey celebra-
ton at New York Admiral Sampson will
be relieved of the command of the North
Atlantic squadron. This action is to be
taken at the request OF the Admiral, who
has already seen much more than his
portion of sea service. After a short
leave OF absence he will be assigned to
shore duty, probably in command of one
OF the navy yards.
In considering the selection of Admiral
SIMPSONS successor as communicating
Chief of the North Atlantic station, the
Navy Department has practically mar.
rowed the field down to two names. 1t
has been laid down as the policy to be
followed, that the command of fleets and
stations shall be reserved, whenever
practicable, for the nine Rear Admirals OF
the first grade.
1t has been found that of these officers
who are not already on sea service or
about to retire shortly, there are three
Remey, in command at Portsmouth;
Farquahar, commandant at Norfolk, and
Schley, president of the Retiring Board.
Farquahar has been longest on continu-
Gus shore duty, and it has been indicated
thateitherIhe or Remey lis to succeed Samp-
son.

mind alike.
So that is how it came about that
when the First church audience came

was met with another surprise.
There was an unusually large num-
Der present. The prayer meetings ever
since that remarkable Sunday morning
had been attended as never before in
the history of the First church.
Henry Maxwell came at once to the
point. He spoke Of Gray's work and Of
his request.

you to say whether you will go on with

the Spirits power may go with us. d"

Surely Rachel Winslow never was

The brutal, stolid, coarse, impure life
of the Rectangle stirred itself into new
life as the song, as pure as the sur

saloon and den and foul lodging. Some

Rachels voice he knew that he had set

Besides the Persian designs both warped
and printed on soft silks. dressmakers, ever
on the alert for something new and strik-
ing, are putting TO use the art of painting
and some very bewitching gowns are the
result. Foulards, India silks and soft sat-
ins are particularly adaptable 10 this deco
ratiye art, and offer an opportunity to many
deft fingers guided by good taste. The
gown is usually put together before it Is
given into the hands OF the artist, though
some shops sell fabrics already painted, and
demand no small amount for IT,
The water colors are put on very lightly,
and some large flowers are generally chos-
en- as motif fer color and decoration. The
dinner toilette by Doucet is a specimen Of
this new departure.
The skirt and the bodice are made OF
pale yellow liberty satin over a foundation
of yellow satin, and are painted with large
chrysantnemums done in soft yellow and
old rose shades with sage green foliage.
The color combinations are heightened BY
the dainty Zouave jacket and sleeves of grey
guipure over yellow satin and marrow re-
vers and bow Of old rose velvet Five full
ruffies of pale yellow mousseline de sole
trim the skirt and form a neck ruche
around the high painted collar The toque
of black velvet with black ostriek plumes
lends the touch of sombreness which ac-
eentuates the color harmony of the gown.

Fall and winter fashions are now firmly
established. Skirts, even when draped, are
cut with evident intent upon length

attempt at blousing while The sleeves are

thus forcing the figure to throw itself well
out at the back and acquiring a position
which is both hygienic and aesthetic The
dressmaker naturally follows suit, and the
result is the really beautiful styles Of to-
day.
Plain satin-faeed stocks still take the
lead among fashionable fabrics for street
wear, though large plaids, tweeds, chew

into bright and tasteful costumes. For very

in accordance with the present fashion,
shows a slight deviation from the tight

under-laid box pleat, which also supplies
the necessary ful1ness behind.
The bodice has a yoke and collar of old
rose satin, and is decorated with lines of

The book Is really a most interesting
chronicle OF the changes in fashion that

Should this charming lady ever smile upon
her grandchildren, we may imagine that
1t would be to them book of almost un-
paraiieled interest. Each one of the water
coiors is in itself a work of art. and the
gowns mark periods in history quite as
well as those we see in the very expensive
costume books that have come down to us
from the time OF Louis XIV
Although the loss of color would be
considerable, it is quite feasible for those
that are not artistic to carry out the
scheme by the use OF photographs Much
OF the effect Of the gowns would be pre-
served and the path of fashion as surely
followed. The mere idea OF illustration
