Wide Rfmmed Hats.

The wide trimmed Romney shapes In mill
linery are as popular as they deserve to be.
One cannot but notice appreciatively the
use of chiffon scarfs instead OF strings
These are brought loosely around the neck
and knotted instead of tied or else held IN
place with Jeweled clasp. White hats are
most fashionable. A charming hat on this
order consisted of narrow white frflis and
fine tuscan straw, the upturned and flarine
front being seemingly upheld by a spark
ling buckle that was thrust straight
through the brim OF the hat. Underneath
the clasp covered a fluffy facing of white
chiffon, with white ostrich plume stretch
ing around one side. On the crown a clu.-
ter OF handsome black plumes were the
sole trimming The frilled brim gave TO
the face of the wearer the appearance of
emerging from a. huge white flower.

OId-Fashioned Effects.

Very cool and charming are the gowns
of printed muslin having skirts laid in hor-
izontal tucks and with vests OF thin white
stuff rounded out if put in to I'LL a low
cut bodice. The neck may be draped by
a chiffon scarf falling in long ends in front
The girdle is usually of ribbon. from which
fall long sash ends. For use with such
gowns it is very convenient to have a col
lection of chemisettes of the daintily lace
or ribbon trimmed sort, wear Of which
would vary the effect of a limited ward
robe very nicely. Plenty OF pretty ribbons,
too, are Indispensable this season, for a
handsome girdle is part of every modish
summer frock.
A great deal of handsome jewelry is being
worn this summer The fad OF the hour
for small pin and belt clasps is the enam-
eled Egyptian beetle. which is made with
a horrid semblance of lifelikeness. For
purses and chatelaine bags there is a re-
vival Of the old-fashioned beaded effects,
such as were known to the days of our
great grandmothers.

Crepe de Chine Favored.

Crepe de chine is very much used for
blouses, and lends itself admirably to that
use. For house blouses il is especially ef-
fective. Partisan women do not wear
blouses upon the street except with skirt
and tailor-made jacket. OF course. this is
strange to Americans. Who are used 10 dom
ming them for all occa sions. The French
woman always wears her little coat over
her shirt waist. and would soon think Of
appearing without 1t as would a man Of
fashion of walking abroad in his shirt
sleeves.
One a good many indications that
point to the revival of modified overskirt
effects. A handsome gown Of white lawn.
trimmed with narrow tucks and lace. was
cut with pointed overskirt to fall over an
underskirt of ruilles The points We're some
half dozen in number and edged with mar
row lace. above which rose row after row
of the tucks. A deep point of tucks and
lace was applied to the front of the bodice
with a point carried out on the back in
smaller size. Underneath the lower part Of
the points and beginning at the waist was
a rather novel arrangement consisting Of
encircling rows of deep tucks. which. as the
wearer of the gown was slim. looked very
well but would be a dangerous experiment
for one inclined TO embonpoint.

PUBLIC SCHOOL MATTERS.

No single institution, probably, dur
ing the past few years, has done so
much for the growth and progress of
Brookhaven as her Graded Public
School. Every citizen of the town.
whether patron or not, should feel a
deep interest in its highest success
and development. As will be seen by
the official notice of the President and
Secretary elsewhere in these columns,
next Monday is the time for the annual
meeting of the Board of Trustees. the
election of new Board of Control.
etc
Pending this meeting it will not be
out of place for THE LEADER to refer,
for the consideration of all concerned,
to certain criticisms which, though
never before given newspaper utter
ance, have nevertheless come to our
hearing repeatedly and found smoth-
cred expression for the past two years.
One of these is the alleged tendency
on the part of the Board of Control to
make the faculty of the school prac-
tically sectarian in its personnel An.
other is, that certain amount of nepo-
tism is practiced by the members of
Board of Control in the election of
teachers. Still a third complaint is
that the Board of Control does not
give the desired publicity in advance
when it will meet to elect faculty or
fill vacancies, the effect of which is to
limit applications to those teachers
only who have private information of
the contemplated action
If there are grounds for just com
plants of this nature, they can be as
certained by the trustees and patrons
of the school upon proper inquiry and
the remedy applied. And on the other
hand, if they are entirely groundless, it
is proper that the Board of Control, to
be elected next Monday, should be ap-
prised of their existence, that they may
hereafter give as little cause as posi-
BILE for their repetition.
1t has been suggested, among other
things, that rule be adopted that no
one shall be eligible to membership in
the faculty of the school who has a
relative on the Board of Control. The
other complaints and any injury to the
school which may result from them,
can be easily guarded against by wise
discretion and just regard for the
rights and privileges of all interested.

Rupert Hazard-Father Hazard, as

about art. literature and the deeper
problems of social economies. They
didn't begin to talk Of love, even in
the abstract, until Liverpool had been
left behind for seven days. The young
woman who had made and broken two
engagements in that time led them In
this direction unconsciously.
Neither OF them were gossips, but
the thing seemed so incredible-to peo-
pie who hadn't crossed the ocean often
enough to become accustomed to this
sort OF phenomena-that they couldn't
help thinking of it, having been in
formed of the fracture of the second
engagement by their respective state
room stewards-and several other per-
sons. AS the young woman, apparent

New and Rara Mineral.

Deputy Langley has arranged in the
bureau of mines an attractive exhibit
of one Of the newest, as well as rarest,
of minerals. 1t is called cornotite, af-
ter French mineralogist, M. Adolphe
Carnot, who determined its position in
the mineral world. 1t occurs as a
yellow crystalline powder or loosely
cohering masses, mixed with a quart
zose sand.
The only deposit in this country, OF
in the world, as far as known, is
in the Yellow Bird group of mines
in Montrose county, this state. A
recent analysis made by Geologist Hill
lebrand demonstrated the presence o.
uranium to the extent of 52.2S per cent
and ranadium 1880 per cent, both be-
ing rare and valuable. The analysis
also disclosed potassium, $50; sodium,
OF; varlum, 3.21; magnesium, IT, and
iron, 1886.
The Yellow Bird group of mines was
at one time the property of Gordon
Kimball, but they have recently
passed into the hands of a French
syndicate, which is erecting a plant
for the treatment of the mineral

warning to others who might seek to
befriend the besieged ministers. Prince
Ching protested Sheng declares, but
his efforts were unavailing.
This. according to Director Sheng,
shows that LII Ping Hang is master at
Pekin, and he adds that Tung Fuh
Slang has 10000 troops in the vicinity
of Pekin. He fears that should the
allies force an entrance to PelIin Tung
will compel the emperor and dowager
empress to evacute the palace and
place themselves under his protection.
Then he will most likely murder the
foreign ministers. Unless Tung is sup
pressed, Sheng fears there is no hope
for the legations.
Ii Kung, Chang Chi Tung, Ii Hung
Chang and Sheng, according to the
latter, sent an urgent message to the
empress requesting that Gen. Jung
Lu be permitted to escort all the for
eign ministers to Tientsin. where the
viceroys could meet and care for them.
This was sent prior to July 26, on
which day Ii Ping Hang arrived in
Pekin and had an audience with the
empress.
On Aug. 1 the same viceroys sent a
similar memorial. Sheng received an
answer to the nrst memorial. in the
form of an imperial edict, dated July
80, ordering Jung Lu to provide an es-
cort for the ministers to Tientsin
whenever the latter should fix the date
for the departure. There was no in
timation, however, whether the min
listers would avail themselves of this
chance of reaching the coast or would
regard it with suspicion Of treachery
and wait in Fekin for the arrival of
the relief column.
