MISS sTEINICKEN's FINE DISPLAY


The visitor to Miss Steinicken's store
yesterday was first impressed by the
unique window display in ladyship
pink, one of the swell new shades this
season. The store is handsomely deco
rated with flowers and tropical plants.
The hats themselves, with their mass
of flower effects and catchy colors, were
sufficient in their elegance. but with the
flowers and tropical plants made the
scene enhancing. The styles are varied,
in which the importations as well as
the product of Miss Steinickens own
skilled artists vie with the costly model
hats. A beauty is in fine Tuscan straw,
faced with tucked white chiffon; large
French roses in pastel shades lie fat on
the rim, and draped on the right side is
a heavy mash of glace silk in two
shades of delicate pink. fastened down
to the back rim with a large rhine
stone buckle; dropping to the left side
is a large bow of black velvet. This is
an exact copy of a French importation
that cost $40. Miss Steinicken's price
is $40.

rnR AnnIcKs ONLY.

Analysed to its ultimate, the one
purpose and object Of the union repub-
iican party Is 20 seat j. Edward Ad-
dicks In the United States Senate.
Undoubtedly there are among Mr..
Addicks' followers men with ambition
and capacities to-fill state and county
OFFICES: some Of them hoping for recog-
nition OF their fitness and realization
OF their ambition. The qualification OF
such personal ambitions is not, how
ever, a consideration with Mr.. Addicks.
He is dn the business of party destruc-
tion for the qualification of his own
senatorial ambition. SO long as the re-
publican party refuses to surrender TO
him ne will not permit 1t 10 succeed
II II is within his power to prevent its
success.
He secures the active help OF a few
cunning men by paying them liberal
salaries which they earn by keeping up
a party discord. the result of which Is
to prevent others OF his supporters
from securing the honOrs and emolu'
ments Of Office for which they are tit-
ted. hopeful and worthy.
Sooner or later the utter selfshnesi
OF Mr.. Addiclzs' purpose and course
will be realized by such men and they
viii withdraw their support from the
man who cares nothing for theii
ambition and regards them onl,
as tools with which to build a struc
ture for his own use.
Il is preposterous to think Of for
ever maintaining a political party 10
the single purpose Of securing offic

MRS. DEWEYs CANDIDATr

The aspirations OF an ambitious wo-
man have defaced the enamel OF our
chiefest hero. and Admiral Dewey is
destined 10 learn the difference with
which people regard an able and heroic
victorious commander and an ambi-
tious seeker Of political Office without
nerve to declare his politics.
That this ambition has been reused
in him by the most ambitious woman
in the United States is without doubt.
as well from his known pre-marital
modesty as from the extraordinary con-
tentions for social precedence Of his
wife. Never has Washington society
been otherwise so stirred by petty con.
tentions for place; by ridiculous dis
putes as to rank" as by Mrs. Dewey'l
assaults upon society customs.
Il is a matter for genuine nationa
regret that she has been able to in
duce the admiral to yield to her ambl
tions
He frankly admits that while he ha
political opinions he withholds ther
lest their declaration interfere with hi
chances for nomination. That is th
weakest OF political weakness. His de,
laration that candidates do not NAL
platforms shows how little he has rea
political history. That is by no meal
uncommon.
When he cfiticises every presidet
