GIbraltar's Great Guns.

1t has been assumed by a large
number of people, especially in Eng
land, that Gibraltar has always COM
manded the straits which bear it's
name. That belief was erroneous uu-
til recently. The straits are twelve
and half miles wide, and the best
guns mounted at Gibraltar heretofore
could not possibly cover that distance.
A few weeks ago, however, two Of the
newest 9.2-inch wire guns, thirty-six
feet in length and firing projectile Of
$50 pounds weight, were mounted on
Europa Point. These guns have a
range of fifteen miles and are most
formidable weapons.

Featnre of SprInp 3rodes

A stylish combination of golden
brown velvet with Venetian cloth in
the same becoming shade is here
shown. The vest of deep cream satin
is closed with small round crystal
buttons, larger ones decorating each
front of basque.
The lapels and inside Of the faring
collar are satin-faced and covered
with cream guipure lace while soft
iobot-bow of fine Brussels net shows
an exquisite edge of applique guipure.
Hat of brown velvet with dotted
quills and chou of cream satin in
front.
Basques of velvet in this style are
prominent feature of the spring
modes, and the Aounce of velvet or
other contrasting material that matches
the basque combines at once novelty
with utility.
The basque is shaped with the usual

A BASQUE For Stout Women.

The steel grey broadcloth, May Man
ton design shown in the large engrav-
ing, is stylishly made up with all up
piled vest portion of black gulpure
over white satin, the closing in centre
front being accomplished with small
round crystal buttons.
Guipure lace employed in this way
over some bright color or white, is u
feature of the incoming styles that is
decidedly becoming to women of full
proportions, Other basques in this
style have the vest covered with braid
ing in scroll or vervicilli design, or
brocaded satin and silk are sometimes
used as o simpler and less expensive
method than either of the afore-men-
toned.
This basque while generally becom-
ing is especially designed to meet the
requirements of stout women, the
graceful pointed outline, the narrow
vest and pointed revers that roll back
from the fronts giving the best pos
eible lines to counterac. the tendency
to embonpoint.
The two scanned sleeves are ar
ranged over close-itted Innings, the
moderate fulness now allowed by
fashion being disposed in gathers at
the upper edge.
A standing collar finishes the vest
while the rolling collar meets the
lapels in notches. A tailor finish of
machine stitching is given to the
lapels, collar, wrist and lower edge,
but braid, gimp or other decoration
may be substituted. The lapels and
collar may also be faced with velvet,
satin, poplin OF other contrasting ma
teria!. While broadcloth is in high
favor for basques that match the skirt
in this style, chevlot, tweed, drap'd-
etc, mohair, brilliaatine, crepon, serge
and canvas in both plain end mixed
weaves are also exceedingly stylish.
To make this basque for lady oi
medium size will require, one and
three-fourth yards Of material forty
four inches wide.

81 yard cannot be depended upon to

least three seasons and does not fade
in the least. Added to this, it has
the merit of being soft, cool and be-
coming, and is to be had in the most
exquisite colorings. The plain silks
make quite dressy waists, while those
that are striped have no end of style.

Great Britain Gains About All She Ex-
pected by the Decision.
LONDON, Oct. Although rapid
scanning of the decision of the Anglo
Venezuelan boundary tribunal decision
has not afforded as yet thorough un-
derstanding Of all of its details, there is
a general feeling of satisfaction in Off
cial circles, based on the belief that
Great Britain has gained all she ex-
pected.
One of the counsel for Great Britain
made the following statement: "The
award practically endorses the Judgment
of Sir Robert Schombergk, whose line it
follows, except in few particulars,
Great Britain acquires the whole of the
river Cuini, including site which Ven
ezuela alleged to be a fort. The Barima
district has been awarded to Venezuela,
possibly on the principle Of national Sc
curity, but with the condition that the
Orinoco shall be free waterway to all
nations. All the valuable plantations
and gold fields are indisputably settled
within British territory"

jeweled sword voted him by congress in

demonstration the fervor of enthusiasm

drawn from every quarter of the United
