A DEWEY DAY PUZZLE.
No High Official Has as Yet Promised
His Presence.

New York, Sept. 1S.-Not one of the
high officials of the national govern
ment has so far positively accepted the
invitation to attend the celebration in
this city in honor of the Ome-cOming
of Admiral Dewey. The members of
the committee do not know what to
make of the declinatiOns from the Pres
ident and his official family Owing to
Mr.. HObaTt's physical condition they
regard his partial acceptance as a pO-
lite form of declinatiOn. He is not eX-
pected to be present.
These are the replies up to date:
President McKinley-Wil not attend.
No reason given.
Secretary Gage of the Treasury-WiII
not attend; reason, Pressure of public
business"
Secretary of War Elihu Root. a New
York man-Will not attend: reason,
Pressure of public business"
Secretary of State Hay-WiH not at
tend; reason. "Offfcial engagements"
Postmaster General Smith-Will not
attend; reason, Public engagements. -
Vice President Hobart-Wiu attend
eff his health permits
Secretary of the Navy Long. Secre-
tary of the Interior Hitchcock, and At
torney General Griggs are stin to be
heard from. It was expected that at
least a majority of the Cabinet mem
bers would attend"
That there is to be a Dewey celebra-
tion in Washington on Monday. Octo-
Der 2, is not regarded as a sufficient
reason for the absence of these national
guests.

vide the band, as it was under contract
to play for the National Export expo

land parade
Mr. Reynolds today obtained a volun-
tary release from the exposition man

Senator Wellington. Mayor Malster of
Baltimore, and General Felix Agnus

rendered during the Spanish-American
war. The protest was made voluntarily

colorcd cloth. worn with white cloth skirts. are
one OF the latest Partisan vagaries.
Fashion comes back again from the past In
the revival Of cashmeres. which will be very
popular this season. All the new cloths are so
soft and pliablc. so light in weight. that they
are very much like the cashmeres. however.
The latest variety OF cloth is ~pastelle. with a
smooth. velvety finish. Indian will
be worn. and there are pretty soft silks for
blouse waists In the soft cashmere colors with
figured stripes. Perforated cloths made UP
over a color are used for the entire jacket and
possibly half OF the skirt. with plain cloth in
combination. and perforated effects in trim
ming are largely in evidence among the new
cloth gowns.
Cloth dresses made ~fanciful in some way are
quite a feature Of fashion. but for those who
cannot afford many gowns the palmer coat and
skirt costume made by a first-class tailor is the
thing to have. In fact. there is no costume
which can compare with 1t for general useful
ness the year through. and especially for the
woman who wants to dress stylishly on u small
allowance. She can afford to spend at least
