The truth of that is that it is always worn so much that frequent change in the manner of its use is essential to it's successful employment. So get it on in some slightly unusual way. That'll be pretty safe rule for almost any season. The method of this pictured gown was admirable, and there are many more. Cream lace gave oyer skirt outline, framed yoke and vest of snocked green silk and covered tiny bretelles of black velvet. Black velvet gave belt and ornamental bow The goods was black silk crepon figured in pale greene.
 Silk lining is still much used, but it Is general custom to omit lining in the cloth dress. This implies a cloth of body and closeness of weave. Such skirt is turned up at the hem deeply and stitched. When all finish about the foot is thus done away with. the skirt is more easily kept in order, and the effect is very good This treatment is replacing silk facing and even on in- expensive dresses facing up with per caline or any such material is not ven tured. The under side of the skirt need not be silk, but if not silk, it must be the same as the outside.

 Boys who read dime novels will not thank Chief Wilkie of the Secret Ser vice bureau for the effort he has made to show that truth is not quite as strange as some ten-cent fiction. Chief Wilkie says the dime novel islanders the service of which he is the head. The boy who reads dime novels describing, the disguises made by alleged sleuths Of the government imagines these stories to be true, and the impression remains with him a long time. As a matter of fact, no such thing as dis guise for a secret service detective is known, and Chief Wilkie does not know of a case ever worked by an operator in which articles of this kind have ever been used. Moreover, he does not know of reputable detective in any city or State who uses disguises. They are not effective and the best informed men in the running down of criminals believe that they do harm and quickly expose the man who is attempting to operate a case The men of the secret service of the government frequently clothe themselves to suit the vicinity and the people among whom they are at work.

On the occasion of a ship springine a leak her pumps are set to work to get the water out as fast as 1t comes in. Instead of this, it is suggested by a writer in the American Machinist that air-pumps be used to force air into the leaky compartment, and thus force the water back through the hole where it entered There is, it is remarked, a means of expelling water from the fill ed compartments so obvious as to rem der it matter of wonder that engineer ing skill has not put forward the plan, simply to close the matches of the flood ed compartments and drive the water out by forcing air in; nor would it make the slightest difference how large the holes might be in the bottom, as the water would be expelled and kept out on the same principle as the old fashioned diving bell.

BROUGHT HERE FOR TRIAL.
Detective Returns From Cincinnati
with Albert Hoffman.

Detective Thomas T. Hartigan today re-
turned to Washington from Cincinnati, hav-
ing in his charge Albert Hoffman, alias
Foreman, who, as heretofore stated in The
Star, is wanted here for passing bogus
checks. The names of those said to have
been swindled in this city have been al
ready printed in The Star. Hoffman was
locked up to await a hearing.
Something over a month ago Col. Dietsch,
chief of police of Cincinnati, was notified
by Maj Sylvester, superintendent of police
of this city, that Hoffman was wanted
here for passing forged checks to the
amount of over 5000. The Cincinnati au-
thorities We're also informed that Hoffman
had shipped a mattress to that city over
the Baltimore and Ohio, and two detectives
watched for the claimant to show up. Mon
day he did so, and he was at once taken
into custody.
Upon being taken to headquarters in Gin
cinnati Hoffman, 1t is said, admitted that
he had passed the checks in question, and
expressed his willingness to return TO
Washington without papers and plead gull
ty, If no more charges were preferred
against him. 1t is said he has not only
operated in Washington. but also in Balti-
more, Md; Columbus, Dayton and Zanes-
vile, Ohio. After reaching Cincinnati Hoff-
man secured employment with a mercan-
tile agency. On his person, when searched.

Mr. Henry Alvord, chief of the dairy divi-
sion of the Agricultural Department. in
making up the divisions exhibit at the
Paris exposition has come across a new by
product of the dairy industry. 1t is well
known. of course, that in many lines of
Industry the by-products of an article form
more extensive industries than the original
item furnishes.
Skim milk is the basis of this by
product, which is an addition to quite list
of articles which skim milk already

Of skim milk, fine quality Of paint at
that, with good ulster and polish. Then
too, they make glue out Of skim milk
Tons of sizing for fine qualities of paper
are produced daily from skim milk.
Now comes an inventor with a plan to
make a substitute for hard rubber and
celluloid out of skim milk. The pat
ents have been allowed and the organiza-
ton of the company under way. The in
which resembles wood in texture. The new
material will be used for brush backs,
combs electric light insulators and, in fact.
almost anything now constructed of hard
rubber or celuloid. The evolution of a pan
of skim milk on the kitchen shelf into
a golf ball is but a question of time and a
secret process. The body of the new mate
rial is the caseine In skim milk.
The Agricultural department is interest

the disposition of the surplus stock of
skim milk in the diaries and on the farms
is welcomed.

TRUSTS IN GERMANY.
An Era in Ring. f. rI}ustrle. in
That COhntry.'

Richard Guenther, United States consul
general at Frankfort. Germany, writes to
the State Department that Kuhlow's Ger
man Trade Review and Exporter, of Ber-
lin in It's edition of September 20, contains
the following editorial on trusts jim Ger
many:
For industries in Germany, the last few
years have been an era of rings. In this
matter Germany has not taken the lead,
but she is following with increased eager
ness the example given by more advanced
countries. During recent years a number
of new industrial rings was founded or
their organization was planned Thus, In
1898, there were founded the unions of iron
wire manufacturers, of wooden goods man.
ufacturers of iron goods dealers, of wall
paper manufacturers, of cast-iron manufac-
turers. of cloth dealers. of asphaltum man.
ufacturers, of yarn consumers, of cotton
yarn consumers, of indigo exporters. etc.
Rings in the textile industries.-As to
the effectiveness of the rings in the textile
industry during the past year the follow
ing IS reported:
The union for promoting the German
linen and hosiery industry has been able
TO develop a very satisfactory activity in
the interest of its members in the political
fed. The efforts of the union to promote
the interests of the textile industry at
Crefeld were more in the field of art in
dustry. The union of German Wallpaper
manufacturers has been able to keep VI
to its agreement in every respect. The
same applies also to the convention of
manufacturers of dressmakers' busts al
Berlin, which is in indirect connection with
the textile branch The newly foun led
Society of Corset Manufacturers has met
with much opposition even within it's own
branch of trade. AS to the greater and
older unions in the textile industries, 1t is
to be remarked that the union of German
wool cOmEe1s and carded-woo1 spinners had
to deal during the last year almost exclu-
sively with the question of reducing the
output. and managed to solve it in the
interests of the spnners: the united vi
sogne spinners could, unfortunately, not eff
feet the same in their branch. The com
mercial political relation of the union of
yarn consumers merits special considera-
ton. 1t is known that the German spin
ncrs desire, on the conclusion of new com
mercial treaties, to again have the warn
duties raised. This intention is seconded
by the influential protective union: but
since, Notwithstanding the high customs
DUTY, 1t has not so far been possible ia
manufacture the finer yarns in Germany in
competition with Great Britain, the yarn
consumers fear from an increase of Gus
toms duties serious injury to their export
interests. Their endeavOrs, therefore, are
directed to preventing the increase of the
duties, and if possible to obtaining facilj-
ties for the import, as they cannot refrain
from importing from Great Britain"

REV. WHEELER'S THEME.
Relation of Business Men to Anti
Saloon League.

The relation of the Business Man to the
Anti-Saloon League" was the theme at last
nights ant-saloon revival meeting at
Mount Vernon NJ. f. Church South. Rev
A ]. Wheeler of Maine was the speaker
of the evening. He set forth the reasons why
in his estimation, 1t would be for the best
interests of the business men OF the city to
lend their active support to the movement
to abolish the saloon. If the wage-earners,
he said, were to turn the vast amount of
money now spent for rum into those ave-
nues of trade which tend TO the betterment
of their condition and the happiness of
their families there would be a wonderful
increase in the volume of business. In addi-
ton to this he said, would be the benefit
of decreased taxation. There would be very
few, If any, paupers to take care of, and the
criminal docket would not be crowded each
term with hundreds of cases, three-fourths
and more of which, ne asserted. the records
of courts would show to be directly at
tributable to the liquor traffic. He stated
that in a certain town in New England,
where he was endeaVorlng to convince the
business men that the liquor traffic was
hurtfuI to them, he prevailed on the lead
ing manufacturer to mark 300 SO bills,
which he paid to his men on a certain pay
day. The week following pay day a visit
made to the banks of the town. which
had been notified of the arrangement, and
ii was found that 80 of the marked bills
had been deposited to the credit of the
bank accounts of the liquor dealers. In
stances such as those, he said. We're very
convincing 20 men who were dealing in the
comforts and necessities of life.
In conclusion the speaker appealed to the
business men of Washington to give their
support to the Anti-Saloon League, for If
they would do SO, he said, the motto of the
league would be changed from The saloon
must GO to The saloon will go"

Der. If this number is not greatly exceeded
the supply will not be endangered. con-
siderable proportion of the deer are to be
found on the preserves of sportSmens or
CARNATIONS, where the feeding is good and
where they are fully protected during the
close season. During the open days the
keepers of such preserves exercise more
than ordinary vigilance. and it is safe to
say that every deer killed in such preserves
tails 10 the rifles of members only. With
sportsmens preserves increasing in num-
Der and covering a broader area each year,
the time is not far distant, l believe. when
the motley crowd who now go down from
New York each year will find no grounds
to shoot over; and will consequently aban-
don their journey. On the other hand, the
degree of projection extended to game will
be greater, and when a majority of the
land has been leased by sportsmen. who
will observe the laws and combine for the
increase in the number of deer, good shoot
ing on the island should be assured fof
many years to come"

The Venezuelan Legation Here.

The Venezuelan legation here Is in an
anomalous condition since the success of
the Venezuelan revolution. Minister An
drade is a brother of President Andrade,
who fled before the revolutionary general,
Castro, who has assumed control of the
government. 1t is assumed that the min
lister will retire, but there has been no
outward change thus far. The minister
has been in Paris for some time, and Is
expected back shortly. His residence on
Iowa circle has been given up, although
the legation office Is still maintained by
Senior Pulido, the charge d'affaires. AS the
Puiido chosen by Gen. Castro for minister
of war is believed to be a near relative
of the charge here, his interests are not
likely TO suffer by the upheayaI.
