Ladies Box Plated Shirt Waist No. 1906
China blue madras was chosen
for this plated shirt waist which
is mounted on glove fitted lining
Of white lawn.
The back is made with three box
plaits, drawn close at the waist
line, perfect adjustment being
maintained under the arms.
The fronts are arranged in two
Hat plaits at either side and close
in the center with tiny pearl but
tons and buttonholes worked
through the double hem.
The stylish collar is shaped in
points at the back, but may be
omitted in favor of the regulation
linen collar and neckte if so desir-
ed.
The correct two piece sleeves
have slight fullness at the should
ers, the uppers being extended in
points which reach over the hands.
The narrow tie and belt are of
black velvet ribbon.
The waist is made to reach the
waist lire, and separate basque
portion is added which fits smooth
ly over the hips. This does away
with the extra material below the
waist which is an Objectionable
feature in shirt waists made OF
heavy cotton or wooden fabrics.
1t may be made with or without
the fitted lining. Piquc, lined mer-
cerized cotton, cheviot or French
flannel are appropriate for this
mode, and the space between the
tucks may be machine stitched in
heavy black silk if 4 strictly tailor
finish is desired.
To make the waistin the medium
size will require three yards of
thirty-six inch material. The pat
tern, No. 1866. is cut in sizes for a
%, "a, SO, 3S, AZ and +2-inch bust
measure.
This pattern can be secured by
filling in the blank below and send
ing it to REPUBLICAN Office with the
price.

IT is no wonder the building boom
in our city has stopped when it is
considered that building material
has risen over one hundi ed per
cent. within the past year. With
few exceptions the builders have
been enabled to sell their properties
and make a fair interest on their
money invested. What was ex-
pected to have been the biggest
season for several years in the
building line has now been given
black eve. The drop in the price
of nails hurt several of our hard
ware firms to the tune of several
hundred dollars, one firms loss
alone being $1,000. Shingles have had
quite drop, which is now thought
will be followed by everything
in the building line. Such drop
would indeed be welcomed by the
builders and enable them to put up
the small houses that at the present
there is an unpre cedented demand
for in Wilmington. There is not
enough small desirable houses suit
able for mechanics to be had in the
city.
Everything under SIS per month is
rented and people every day visit
the realestate Offices seeking houses
to rent. Small houses are especi-
ally in demand on the East side,
where the number of mechanics
has been on the increase for the
last three years. Mr.. Thomas
Melvin is erecting nine houses on
Taylor street, but it will be several
months before they are finished.

C0UNTERFEITS

Secret Service Agents at
Work to Find the Max
erS of $40 Bills.

Every Bank in Wilmington and in the
Unite States received a descriptive circll-
lnr Of counterfeit $50 bill now in circula-
ton.
In tho opinion of the United States Sub
Treasury officials and secret service agents.
a gang Of couatsrfeiters Is ut work In
Philadelphia. Twenty two bogus $50
Treasury notes have been received from
10 al bankS at the Sub Treasury in the Gus
tom House since Tuesday afternoon.
The counterfeit notes SO closely re :emble
the genuine that bank officials who have
been handling money for years were de-
ceived, In fact these $50 bogus bills are
onsidered almost rs clever counterfeit
as tho 500 bills that wore manufactured at
the instance of kendig and Jacobs by Tay-
lor aud Bredell.
The note is of the series Of 1880. check

AFTER all the numerous sneers
and inendoes, it is reported that
the Board Of Education will con-
suit with J. Edward Addicks about
his offer to loan the Board $4,000.
with which to continue the work on
the new High School. Work has
been stopped for some time on the
building owing to lack of funds, of
which the Board of Education has
not one dollar that it can eXpend
Tor the purpose of building new
school houses. President Short
Ildge we have been informed is in
favor Of the finance and new build
ing committee meeting Mr.. Addicks
In reference to the loan. Mr., Ad-
dicks offer is the first one that has
been preferred to the Board and it
would be foolish to refuse it. We
cannot for the life of us see what
this offer to loan the school board
has to do with politics or Mr.. Ad-
dicks chances for Senator. We
are one oil those whofail to see any
thing political in the offer.

We do not think it wise to defeat
the Republican party in order to
get rid of one Objectionable individ-
ual and hence we advise the nomi-
nation of but one set of candidates
at the coming election, thus leaving
the Senatorial question to be de-
cided when the Legislature shall
meet. We think this course will
suit the Republicans, although it
may not please the Democrats and
their adherents. Only half-hearted
Republicans will aid Democrats to
elect their nominees because OF any
dissension in regard to candidates
or party leadership. Defeat at the
coming election will result in the
breaking up Of the Republican
party and the consignment OF the
present lie aders to political oblivion.
WITH the advent of every new
Board Of Health, there IS consider
able wire pulling as to who should
get the few positions which is a.
the disposal Of the Board. The new
Board will meet this afternoon
when the President and Secretary
will be elected. Then will come
the four executive officers, for which
there are at least one hundred APP
plicants. Every Board Of Health
in the country has physician as
It's president and there is some diff
icrenccs as to who will yet be Sc
lccted to presldeOvcr our new Board
OF Health.

THE TYPH00N AT GUAM.
Said TO Have iicen The worst In
Forty Years.

Manila, Dec 2.-Rear Admiral Remcy
in his official report of the recent ty-
phoon which visited the island of Guam
reports that the storm was the severest
in 40 years. The palace at Agana and
the government buildings were unroofed
and wrecked. The sea reached the plaza.
Many of the homeless sought refuge in
the school and Jail. No one is reported
to have been killed at Agana, but the
mortality caused by the recent epidemic
of the grip has been much increased by
exposure. most of the dwellings having
been destroyed. The town OF Marajan
was levelcd, and Is persons were killed.
Several persons were killed i'll various
small villages, and several small coast
crs are missing. No reports have been
received from some localities. Cocoanut
trees and all crops are destroyed, and
food is being distributed to the sufferers.
Admiral Remey has ordered the Arethu-
sa from Cavite with food supplies. Flour,
corn and meats are needed, and it is sug-
gcsted that donations he sent from the
United States. The Brutus, from Cayite,
and the Solacc, from San Francisco, due
at Guam recently, will relieve immediate
needs.
The pounding of the Yosemite upon the
reef broke and twisted her propeller, and
She was abandoned and sank Nov. ~

Lieutenant Colonel Goodsell, com
manding the Sixth marine battalion with

New York. Dec. 2.--Last June an inter

the secretary said that the Beers would
fight for their liberty as long as there
was any hope of gaining it, They would
never surrender to Great Britain or be-
come Il part of the British empire. Soun
or than do that most of the hardy, thrifty
Boer farmers would cmigrate with their
families to the United States.
The publication of this interview in the
New York World brought spontaneous
expressions from the governors of SOW

the war, but these gentlemen respect
fully decline. Probably they cannot see
just why they should pay to England
the cost of war gratuitously under
taken for the establishment of prin-
ciple of government, and for the defense
of an oppressed people. They also prob
ably hold that as England has pro-
claimed her sovereignty over the terri
tory Of the Republics she should be satis-
fled with her new possessions as an off
set against the cost of the war; At any
rate the news is that the "outlanders"
decline to pay and the Englshmen are
not SO affectionatcly disposed as they
were. Such is the difference between
fact and sentiment.
