CONFUSION OF ORDERS.
RooseVelt's instructions to Gen.

and UnWarranted.

New York, Sept. 22.-Maj- Gen. Roe
who will command the National guard of
New York state in the Dewey land pa
rade, received a telegram from Gov.
Roosevelt today directing him to give the
u. A. K. their choice of any place in the
parade. Immediately on receiving the
telegram, Gen. Roe had a conference
with Mayor Van Wyck and then Chair
man Guggenheimer of the plan and scope
committee, which has charge of the pa
rade, was notified of the governors dis
patch. After pointing out that his COM
mittee alone had the right to assign
places in the line of march, Mr.. Guggen-
heimer said of the governors action:
1T is peculiarly ROOseveltian. 1t is
most impudent, unjustifed and unwar-
ranted interference IN a matter that is
without province. [ do not believe, how
ever, that our committee will take any
notice of it."
Gen. Roe declined to discuss the ac-
ton of Gov. Roosevelt in advance of the

Cape Town, Sept. 22-A sensation has
been caused here by the report that Sir
Alfred Miner has made an attempt to
exercise suzerainty over the Orange Free

Free State, it is understood, is preparing
to supply the Transvaal with $4,000 mag
nifcent marksmen in case of war with
the British. All the Dutch of South
Africa regard the impending war as an
attempt to ,uproot the republican princi-
pie, which has been firmly grounded
among them.
Pretoria, Sept. 22.-The executive
council sat until o'clock yesterday even

Steyn's reply to Sir Alfred Miner, the

afford them a lively round of dinners
and balls. where no more restraint is

CARE OF THE HANDS.
If Their shape Cannot Be Changed, They csn

direction you like. Keep on pushing
and you can lengthen or broaden the
effect of the nail surface.
Some people have hands that are al

bathing the hands night and morning
in hot water in which has been dissolv-

The easiest way to have white hands
is never to soil them. Wear gloves for
dirty work, and have your clothes
loose enough, if you don't want to

EEL SKIRTS AND PLAQuETs.


The eel skirt has been adopted so
generally by women that the DID,
gathered style looks uncommonly
clumsy and passe. On slim figures these
excessively tight garments look well
enough, but they are often decidedly
vulgar on stout and ill-shaDed women.
Care should be exercised in arranging
the finish Of the plaouet hole, whether
buttons, lacing or pins are to be en-
ployed, not to get the trimming too
low, in which case the effect will
be conspicuously awkward. Some
women, in their efforts after perfect fit
ting back breadths, even do away with
the pladuet, and make the gown fit
over the hips and back without break,
like a riding habit, but it cannot be said
that the result is in so good taste as
something less outre.
