ELLEN 0SBORN'S LETTER
TODAY.

New York. Sept. 29.-The fashionable
tea tray of the autumn is a quaint little
green affair.", shaped like a shamrock leaf;
though l do not in the least believe that
the sunburnt maids and matrons, just
back from the country. who sit around
it. clad in tea gowns of green and white
would care to see that leaf prove too
good an omen. THE Americas cup as
one of them said yesterday, was never
made to hold tea"
Miss Madge Roberts, a relative of the
Liptons, who is visiting in New York,
waiting for the great race. is. however
a young lady who displays the sham
rock with a more than complimentary
meaning. Miss Roberts is rather a
pretty girl, with big gray eyes put in
with a dirty finger" and she wears
with unusual grace an unusually smart
wardrobe.
One of her most becoming street cos
tunes, which one at first suspects to be
semi-nautical in character. only to find
on closer inspection that it is not SO.
is an exquisite tailor dress of navy
blue rough material lined with leaf
of this gown. which has the now indis-
pensable swish to it. is fitted with
such precision as to suggest the fairy
tales of certain chroniclers of fashion
about ironing frocks to the figure.
Twelve lines of machine stitching in
varying shades Of leaf-green silk circle
the lower part of it. forming points
here and there. and browning the
points with shamrocks. The single
breasted little coat is cut out in shall
low. graceful scallops. which are defin-
ed with fewer rows of stitching. Leaf
green threads run up the front of the
coat also, and decorate the small revers.
the tiny breast pocket and the close
fitting sleeves. Wherever they come to a
point or turn a corner, these silk threads
trace the shape of the shamrock leaf in
outline. The collar and the small. chic
toque hat are of velvet. while knotted
at the throat is o ften a fringed, crepe de
chine scarf of shamrock green, complet-
ing the graceful and perfect scheme Of
color.
An afternoon dress of Miss Roberts
is also a study on shamrocks. The soft.
grayish-brown broadcloth Of which it
is composed is the ideal material for
a sweeping, perfectly hanging princess
gown. Of trimming it has nothing. ex-
cept a narrow band of embroidery
which passes back of the shoulders,
and falls, like a scarf or stole. down
each side of the front to the ground.
Shamrocks cut out of green taffeta and
backed upon brown are the substance
of this decoration. which is as thor
oughly in the spirit of the mode as it
is novel and beautiful.
Yachting dresses fill the streets and

from one another. One of the women
was young, the other had been younger,
and the tale will be told as long as some
OF the tales of eccentric unit Paran.
There is a decided inclination on the
part of all silk waists and blouses to
retain the Directoire or Elton jacket ar
rangement which has been so successful
during the summer In some blouses
the fronts stand stif1ly away from the
soft fronts of chiffon and descend very
slightly below the belt which confines
the back and under portion Of the bodice.
This style is not entirely admirable, as
the hard fronts add to the proportions of
the waist, but the jacket blouses are new
ertheless very charming. The little coat
is generally composed of a thick, bro
caded silk turned back with the most
wonderfully. belaced revers, though
mirror velvet, plain Or brocaded, is
newer; and the most elaborate examples
have a frilling of lace finishing the jack
ct at it's hem.

No trouble Is more common or
more misunderstood than nervous
dyspepsia. People having it think
their nerves are to blame AID are
surprised that they are not cured by
nerve medicines. The real seat of
the mischief is lost sight Of. The
stomach is the organ to be looked
after. ''t.'@ .''. p
Nervous dyspeptics often do not
have any pain whatever in the stom,
ach, nor perhaps any Of the usual
symptoms OF stomach weakness. Ner-
vous dyspepsia shows itself not in tho
stomach so much as IN nearly every
organ. In some cases the heart pal
pilates and is irregular; IN others the
kidneys are affected; in others the
bowels are constipated, with head
aches; still others are troubled with
loss Of flesh anu appetite with accum-
ulstions Of gas, sour risings and
heartburn. .......

Substance of tho Annual Report of Engi-
neer 7. OhaIkIey Hatton.


The report of L. Chalkley Hattun,
engineer in charge OF sewers, for the
year ending January 31st, 1899, which
has been submitted to the Board of
Directors of the Street and Sewer De-
partment, shows that 2.37 miles of
public sewers were constructed during
the year, at cost of $50, 564. Sc, and
that there are now 51.61 miles of
public sewers in the city, 46.51 of
which have been constructed and
acquired by the Street and Sewer De-
partment, at total cost of STA, 1877. 16,
and that tho department has had re-
turned to it in the shape of sewer liens
and permits for entering sewers 1912,
lag. 4S, showing that 81 of the total
cost of the sewers have been paid by
the abutting properties in direct liens,
while 81 have been paid by the city
at large. This" Engineer Hatton
says, would seem to contradict the
oft-repeated statement that the sewer
liens more than pay for the cost of the
sewers and that the department makes
a profit on building them"
Tho report further shows that there
have been 3.764 buildings connected
| with the sewers since 1887, and it is
estimated that 1000 connections were
made to the old and private sewers
before the organization of the depart
ment Therefore, about one-third OF
all the buildings in the city are now
using the sewers. The greatest number
of connections ever made in one year
was the record for the year just past,
there being 440 houses connected.
The result of the first years use OF
the Silverbrool1 sewer has shown that
it has done and will do all that was
expected of it.
Mr.. Hatten takes the opportunity oil
calling attention to the great need Of
providing some sewerage facilities fol
South Wilmington, with u population
of 5000; the section over Eleventh
street bridge, with q population Of
$500; Eastlake and the Highlands,
with combined population Of 5000,
and states that these sections have
grown to their limits until sewer
facilities are afforded, and as each
section requires % main sewer, which
is not yet started, it would be we'll fol
tho city to begin TO make somt
preparation to meet this heavy ex
pense. He says there are large mum
Der of petitions for the construction o
sewers to accommodate proposed new
buildings, which will not be bull
unless such are provided. There ar,
no visible funds for such sewers ant
unless the ways and means arc pro
vided the condition of the city will re
main the same rs it was 10 or Is year
ago, public improvements far behint
private improvements.
