ONE MORE EFFORT.
Attorneys For Edwin Rouseu Apply
For Writ of Habeas Corpus.

Another effort to save Edwin RouseIl
from the federal prison was made by
Captain Waters and G. c. Clemens
Wednesday by an application to Judge
Hook for a writ of habeas corpus. The
ground on which the application was
made was irregularities in the indict-
ment on which Rousen was convicted.

FINE ARCH

By Charles Warner

The triumphal arch which is beins
erected In New York for the celebration
Of Admiral Dewey's return is to be the
most beautiful and elaborate piece Of
temporary sculpture ever seen IN this
country.
The material used Is staff, that cement
like substance which has the whiteness
Of marble without its durability or ex-
pensiyeness. Over a stout wooden frame
work wire netting is nailed as q basis
for the staff. The fine modelling IS q
before the material hardens.
While the costsof this arch IS to be
only $26,500, this amount does not rep
resent a fraction OF its real value This
is because the whole work Of designing
has been undertaken by members Of the
National Sculpture society. More b
% of the most famous sculptors IN the
country are giving their services and
working as hard as il undertaking well
paid commissions.

of rank. This lady was dressed in violet
satin. as to trousers, and the long divid-
ed skirt and the great, shapeless ferldJee,
or cloak. Instead of the usual head COW
ering of white crepe lisse, or veil, as we
term it. while they call it yashmak, she
had the cloak brought up over her head
SO as to hide all but the eyes.
Although | was a stranger, l knew
that this was not the usual costume, and
/ asked an English friend in whose house

told me that this lady was in deep
mourning, violet being the mourning coli
or there.
It struck me then. as it does now, that
it would be a good thing il fashion in
mourning might be violet instead of de-
pressing black wooden stuffs covered with
heavy Grape. Violet satin or other ma
terial without Grape would mean just as
much and would not be so gloomy to be
swathed in, nor would it distress others
SO to see.
In China, / believe, mourning gar
ments are white. In France violet has
been the recognized court mourning, and
it is really a pity that it cannot replace
the black. Black Grape has a peculiar
odor that is in some occult manner a
constant reminder of the grave, and
while | certainly would not for one mo-
ment deprive a mourning heart of the
comfort of thus paying respect to the
dead l do not think that Such a duty
should be made a torture.

kind to wear Grape wells. They pull and
