JUNE BRIDES.
What Fashion Has 10 Suggest For
Their AdOrnment.


Especial Correspondence.I
NEW YORK, June D Today | saw a
bridal costume for lovely June bride,
and ] must say the outfit was almost
enough to repay the sacrifice. it was of
a superb quality Of rep silk with a
moire wave iD narrow width running
the length of the breadths. There was
a demitrain with d foupce eight inches
deep in festoons of old point lace.
Down the left side seam there was a
cascade of lace to the bottom. The
waist was simply draped around in
broken lines. There was round yoks
which reached up tC the ears as a col
lar The lower edge had full rufie of
the same lace. 1t was fine enough to
put in museum. The sleeves We're
snug and long and pointed over the
wrists. There was long tulle veil ar
ranged to fall each side. leaving the
face free. 1t was fastened at the top to
a small, rather fiat wreath of orange
blossoms. There were no others upon
any part cf the whole costume.
For the bridesmaid there was dress
of cream silk, with large design of
pale pink flowers with green leaves
painted ON the front of the skirt and
one branch ON the full baby waist.
This dress was low on the shoulders
and square across the front and had
short festooned sleeves. A bow of
stiffened narrow black velvet ribbon
was placed at the left side of the bust,
and above that was bunch of pink
apple blossoms. There was wide
chiffon sash tied at the back, and rows

The Quiet Life.

Happy the man whose wish anu care
A few paternal acres bound,
Content to breathe his native air
In his own ground
Whose herds with milk, whose fields with
bread,
Whose flocks supply him with attire;
Whose trees in summer yield him shade,
In winter fire.
Blest who can unconcern 'dly find
Hours, days and years slide soft away
In health of body, peace of mind,
Quiet by day,
Sound sleep by night, study and ease
Together mixed, sweet recreation
And innocence, which most does please
With meditation
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
Thus unlamented let me die;
Steal from the world. and not a stone
Tell where | lie

The burial ground Gods acre. 1t is just;
1t consecrates each grave within its walls
And breathes benson o 'er the sleeping dust

Comfort TO those who in the grave have sown
The seed that they had garnered in their

Their bread of life, alas no more their owni
Into its burrows shall we all be cast,
In the sure faith that we shall rise again
At the great harvest, when the srchangers s

Shall winnow, like fan, the chaff and grain.
Then shall the good stand in immortal bloom,
In the fair gardens of that second birth,
And each bright blossom mingle its perfume
With that of flowers which never bloomed on

And spread the furrow for the seed we sowi
This is the field and acre of our God;
This is the place where human harvests growi

possible to get them. The most remark
able point about this dress is that it
would indicate a return to decollete

CUBAN GENERALS DISAPPOINTED.
Expected to Dip Deeply Into the
Golden Bag Held Open by
Incle Snm.

Washington. May 16.-Oficials at the
war department are reluctant to dis
russ the Cuban situation. The press
dispatch was read with interest, but
did not cause much surprise among
army officers who are we'll informed
about the Cubans, especially those
which are known as soldiers of for
tune" and who have been bitterly dis
appointed because the island was not
turned over to them Immediately af-
ter the Spanish surrender.
There is an impression that the in
tention of Gen. Brooke to see that the
49, 900 600 is distributed among all the
Cuban. troops, has caused disappoint-
ment among the many generals and
other high officers. who were evidently
expecting to secure n large share OF
the money.
The belief was expressed that the
situation in Cuba is serious, and that
careful and diplomatic management
will be needed. 1t was stated no or
ders will be issued to Gen. Brooke, as
he has ample authority to deal with
any situation that might arise. There
seems to be a belief hat Gen. Gomez
has contributed to the delay in the
payment of the money.

limo Gomez informed Gov.-Gen. Brooke
to-day that he must withdraw from the
plan of distributing the $4,000, 900 to
pay the Cuban troops to the extent
that he will not name other commis-
sioners to replace those originally
named by him who have refused to
serve.
Gen. Gomez added that he had ar
rived ut this decision with great reluc-
lance, and with the most friendly
feelings toward Gen. Brooke PERSONAL
w and officially, but he felt he could
no longer represent the Cuban army
because a cabal, composed of many OF
the subordinate commanders, existed
to oppose, and, if possible, defeat the
plans for partitioning the money. He
explained that former members of the
Cuban military assembly, led by Mayai
Rodriguez, Manuel Sanguilly, Juan
Gaulbcrtto. and other malcontents,
had organized a majority of the OIL
GERS against him, apparently, and
though he Gomez might persist and
possibly carry the payment to a sue
c~essful conclusion, he was Disguised
and wished to wash his hands of the
whole business. Therefore. he though.
that if he left Gen. Brooke free, tho
latter would be able to act with equaI
effectiveness alone.

companied BY their company officers
for the of Identification.
Cuban Privates Must Not Suffer.
Both Gen. Gomez and the governor
general feel that the orivates ought
rot to lose their share in the American
gratuity merely because :he scheme of
! certain high officers in thc Cuban army
have interposed obstacles.
The belief among the Americans Is
that the company officers will assist
in this way. Gen. BrOnke's order will
be disseminated through the newspa'

the widest circulation practicable.

history of his relation to the army
