chiffon, and the crowning glory of it a
rhinestone sunburst set aside at the
base of the b1im, where it flares up
from the face.
The sunburst is really the corner
stone round which the properly de-
signed directoire is built, and aside
from its virtues as an ornament it
serves the noble purpose Of bracing
back the brim 80 that it forms the
proper sort of arch above the face.

Fires In London.

The report of the Fire Brigade
Committee of the London County
Council for the last municipal year,
ending March 31st, states that the
number of calls for fires, or supposed
fires, received during the year was
4,411. Of these Oil were false
alarms, and $500 were calls for fires,
of which 1853 were classed aa
"serious" and 1882 as "slight. The
number of occasions on which life was
seriously endangered by fire was 1873,
and the number of occasions on which
life was lost was II. ..'. .....

Gard Cases For Women.

The newest card cases are of fine
leather, with a jewel set in the clasp
like the parent fastener on gloves, ex-
cept that they clasp through a but
tonhole in order to show on the out
side. Genuine stones only are used
by the best dressed women. Often
the birth stone is chosen, although
the diamond, pink pearl and sapphire
are shown mostly in the best jewelry
stores. -

a massive chain, which is wound twice
round the neck, and is allowed to
hang almost to the waist. Tho
enamelling is chaste and delicate in
coloring. and in workmanship these
charms approach the italian style, in
which the Roman gold and silver
smith follow their craft. In all jewelry
the tendency is toward the massive
italian style, while the lighter French
settings are relegated to tho back

Patching Small Gloves.

When a glove is too small and
splits, it is worse than useless to sew
up the rent; it must be patched. The
patch must be of kid of the same color.
Turn the part inside out, having
trimmed the hole round so that the
edges are even, and cut the patch of
kid to the right size. Then, with fine
needle and cotton, sew in the patch,
taking care only to take up the inside
of the kid and to keep the seam fiat.
If this be done neatly, the glove will
be nearly as good as new.

Three Fetching Costumes.

Good-by to the perfectly plain skirt.
The Paquin plait, single box plat of
medium width running right down the
middle of the skirts back, and fastened
only at the waistband so that it flares
gracefully at the hem, is the hallmark
of all the newest dress skirts and most
acceptably. No woman of good taste
can but hail the eclipse of the plain
skirt with delight, and everybody must
realize the increase of comfort entailed
by the Paquin plat. Gowns may con-
tinue to sweep the streets and to wind
themselves inextricably about the
wearers' heels, but so long as they do
not deprive her of the privilege of sit
ting down-which is what the late un-
lamented plain skirt succeeded in do
ing-she can forgive much.
In the large engraving three OF the
most, popular types of gowns, taken
from Harper's Bazaar, are shown.

looking your best in your new winter

by Mrs. John R. Drexel, Mrs. Joseph
Widener, Mrs. William E. Carter, of

Night Lights for Birds Nests.

" N1Rht LiRuts ioE oifs SoDe
Many birds suspend their nests
from the branches of trees. one OF the
most curious nests of that kind being
that of the Baya bird, of India. 1t is
hung from the branch, with its open
ing at the bottom, and hangs like an
inverted bottle, secure from the ap-
proach of tree snakes and other rep
tiles. The most curious thing about
the Baya bird is that it is said to light
up its nest by sticking frefies on its
sides with clay or soft mud. There
seems to be little doubt of the fact.
DR.. Buchanan says: cat night each
habitation is lighted up by a frehy
stuck in the top with piece OF clay.
The nest consists of two rooms; some
times there are three or four frefies,
and their blaze in the little cells daz-
zles the eyes Of the bats, which often
destroy the young Of these BIRDS

THE old REPUBLICAN, can wobble,
but it advised the two Republican
factions to get together or they
would meet with defeat. The re.
suit Of Saturdays election bears
out the prediction. Another thing
we want to say is that clean politics
stands the best show of winning.
The personal attack made upon DR..
Fahey, by the supposed Democratic
organ, made him votes instead Of
taking them away. He only ran
3l8 votes behind Hartman, who re-
ceived 1856 to Fahey 436S. Henry
Conrad, to have received the full
vote Of the Regulars and Unions,
should have received 5237 votes, but
instead only received SOFA votes.
Saturdays election was one of the
most important held In this city for
years. The result carried with it
the appointing of two Water Com
missioners. Mr.. Hastings term
expires on July 1st and Mr.. Porter's
term in two years from now. Mr..
William Simmons term expires on
March 31st, 1901. The Board Of
Health is also appointed by the
Mayor. This is the extent of the
Mayors power, for which he draws
$500 a year.

Captain Freitsche's Folly.

San Francisco, June 5.-The little
schooner rugged boat Coke, about 30
feet long and only five tons measure
ment sailed for Manila yesterday.
Captain Freitsche, the sole occupant of
the vessel, proposes to make tour of
the world in the frail Coke shell. He
claims to have crossed the Atlantic in
a vessel Of even smaller dimensions.
His only companion on the voyage will
be cat to which he is much attached,
and which he calls his mascot. as it
has been with him before on long and
lonely voyages. The little schooner re-
turned to port last night, having been
unable to make any Roadway against
the strong southwest wind prevail
ing outside Golden Gate. Her captain
proposes to make another attempt to
get started on his way to Manila in a
day or two.

UNKNOWN
SUICIDES.
Jumped From Market
Street Bridge Into
Christiana River.

An unknown man committed suicide by
jumping off of Market street bridge into
the Christiana river yesterday. The stream
was dragged for several hours by the po-
lice but they found no trace of the body.
1t ia believed that the man was u tramp
as he was DIRE ssed shabby and wore muddy
shoes.
Among those on the bridge at the time
were Frank Prosho, Of No. 835 Orange
street; james McElrono, of No 7O6 Bennett
street, and Hugh O'Hara. Of No. Sl5 Kirk
wood street They saw the man walking
toward the bridge, but did not pay partic-
ular attention to him. He wore white
straw hat, apparently new. old pair of
trousers, and an old light coat Walking
along the east side OF the bridge for about
eight feet, he stopped and looked down in
to tho water. Without saying word he
jumped up on the rails. and, balancing
himself second, threw up his hands and
plunged head first into the river.
The alarm was given, and Brldgetender
William Green launched several bonts.
Policemen Shields and Mclaughlin man
led ons boat, and Policeman Lyons an
other. They used the graphing iron with
out any result.

United States, at Present Incedoee,
VIII Soon Be the Largest Produces.
Washington. June 6.-The cod pto.
duetion and consumption Of the world
during the past IL years are pfesentSd
In some tables Just prepared ~ he
treasury bureau of statistics. These
show that while the United Kingdom
ii still the largest coal producer Of the
world, the United States 10 q close
second, and II the present rate Of gain
Ia continued will soon become the lead
ing coal producing country Of the
world. The coal production Of the
United Kingdom In 1897 was ZOE ,e00.-
600 tons; that Of the United States,
179,000,000 tons; Germany, $1,000, 000;,
France, 100000 900; Belgium, 22,000,000;
Austria Hungary. 100000; Russia,
nearly 10000, 900; Australasia, nearly
100000; Japan, over 5000 900; British
India, 100000 Canada, nearly 4,000.-
900; Spain, 100000 No other coun-
try reached 100000 tons in produc-
tion. The United States has gained
much more rapidly during the IL years
under consideration than has the Uni.
ted Kingdom or any Of the ip1portant
coal producing countries of tie world,
her gain during the Is years being
over, 53Ipsr cant and that Of the UNI
ted Kihgdom less than "a per cent. The
announcement Just made by the
geological survey that the coal product
of the United States In 1898 was 49,
$4,000 short tons, against 246, 2S7, 900
for Great Britain, shows that the Uni
tad Qtu tns oonn will hno0u,a the Inod-
ing coal producing nation of the world.
As an exporter of coal, however, the
United States, lakes low rank In pro-
portion to itS production and stands
fourth in. the list of coal exporting
countries. In 1897 the expectations Of
coal from tho United Kingdom were
$4,000, 900 tons; from Germany, 12,000.-
600; from Belgium, over 6.00o. 900, and
from the United States . little less
than 100000. In 1898 the quantity
exported was slightly above 100000
tons. Australasia cofnes NEXT 70 the
United States as a coal exporting
country, her exports amounting to
nearly 5000, 900 tons, while France ex-
ported about 100000, Japan 2,000,-
900 and Canada about 1,25O,00o tons in
1897.
France is the largest coal importing
country. her importations in 1897 be-
ing nearly 100000 900 tons, while Ger
many imported 100000. Austria Hun
gary 100000, Italy 4,250. 900, Canada

Great Britain Ia also the largest con-
eumer of coal in proportion to popula-
ton, with Belgium second and the
United States third.
