SUMMER FINERY
Some Hints From Paris for the
Up-To- Date Girl.
The Handkerchief Dress wonderful Cren-
lions Which Have Come Across tho Wa
ter to Adorn the senshore Girl of 1000.

The Summer girl need have no fear of
been the vogue in previous seasons in
her fashionable attire if the evidences
of the STYLES from which she has TO
choose this year may be taken as a
standard. These evidences OF the lat
est creations of the dressmaker's art
and of the toll of nimble fingers are
we'll shown in a consignment which ar
rived in Baltimore yesterday and was
deposited in the show rooms of a we'll
known Charles street modiste. To the
masculine mind the gowns are simply
wonders of silks, cloths and flmy laces
To the feminine mind they are the
yeast of envy, working through admir-
alton to the end in a desire TO possess
the marvellous French creations.
For the woman who wants Il gown
for house-wear which will combine
comfort with that certain appearance
of being we'll dressed which is so dear
70 the heart of woman. the French de-
signers have evolved a skirt which has
all the appearance Of regularly lined
garment, but is nothing OF the kind.

foundation under the Persian taffeta

The skirt is plain except for three
stitched puffs at the bottom. The
waist which goes with this is comfort

tucked and hemstitched white .taffeta
are In one piece. sloping gracefully
from. the shoulders around the neck
IN the front it breaks open over a
Wnte taffeta vest, narrow Persian-red
Veivet revers giving it touch of color.
A DRESS FROM HANDKERcurE
Probably the greatest novelty of the
early summer season is the handker-
cnlef dress, as 1t might be called. II is
not made of one handkerchief but of y
dozen or more bordered affairs with
which Is combined material by the
yard OF the same general design. One
OF the prettiest OF these which was
shown is q blue taffeta with a white
DOT The front Of the waist is formed
OF one handkerchief with o. corner

corners being drawn around to the
back and forming the belt at the back

y the bordered hankerchiefs, the corners

For Bryan aud Liberty.

Captain Patrick O'Farrell has written
a letter to Senator Hoar, asking for
copies Of his great speech. The Captain
says in his letter:
'T am an old time Republican, and an
abolitionist at that, who fought during
the late civil war for the principles OF
Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln
want vour speech for the facts therein,
They show the dupllcitY and treachery
of William Mckinley, Tor whom l spent
EIGHT weeks on the stump, Your speech
shows further that the next election will
determine whether we shall retain our
liberty or do as Rome did, 60 into the
imperial business. l must, however,
dissent from your logic aud from your
advice to continue to support the Repuo
Iican party, as long as it marches under
the banner of Imperialism
"I honestly believe that, in order to
preserve liberty it IS essential that the
honest and manly Republicans who still
adhere to the Declaration of lndepend'
ence and the Constitution should use all
their efforts IN the next campaign to
defeat Mckinley and the Republican
party by supporting William J. Bryan,
who, 10 matter how we Republicans
may differ with his free silver and tariff
theories, yet can agree with him on the
greater and paramount question OF
Imperialism. The question is, whether
we shall continue a republic or go into
the colonial business and convert the
Stars and Stripes into an emblem
imperialism,
"Again l sav, as an old time abolition
ist who shed my blood on the battle
fields of this country, fighting for liberty,
I must protest against your theory and
advice tha. should become the slave
OF party by continuing to support it,
right or wrong. The cry inIthe coming
campaign should be: Bryan and repub
lican liberty against Mckinley and
imperial tyranny and have every
confidence that liberty will win"

AT THE CAPT o q.
Louisiana Purchase Centennial

Louisiana Purchase Centennial
The first hearing on the Louisiana
Purchase Worlds Fair bill was held
Friday in the room of the House Com.
mittee on Insular Affairs,
The hearing took place before the
special committee appointed by speaker
Henderson to consider all legislation
relative to the proposed celebration OF
the centennial anniversary OF the Louis
lana Purchase. which occurs in 1903.
Mr.. Tawney, OF Minnesota, is the
chairman OF this committee.
The proposed celebration of the
centennial of the purchase Of the
Louisiana territory by the holding of
worlds fair is not a movement local
to St. Louis. 1t is the outcome OF
convention held, in which all Of the
States of the Louisiana Purchase were
represented. This convention adopted
the idea OF holding worlds fair as the
best advanced for the commemoration
of the centennial anniversary of the
great event sought to be celebrated.
1t was the consensus Of opinion OF all
the delegates participating in the con-
yention that the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition should be made the most
complete and the grandest exposition
ever held in the world. 1t is intended
to eclipse the great Chicago Worlds
Fair and the fair being held this year in
Paris. To make It an exposition OF
such a magnificent character, it was
decided that at least SIs, ,ooo, ,Oco should
be raised, exclusive Of the special apPro
pration to be made by the States IN the
Louisiana Purchase for their particular
exhibits. The delegation representing
the city OF St. Louis pledged thst city to
raise $4,000, 900 OF the $Is,ooo,ooo
needed. The decision ofthe convention
was that the Federal Government should
be asked to appropriate the remaining
$1,000, 900.
Unless the exposition can be carried
out upon the lines which have bean
planned, the promoters DO not desire
that il be held. They want the greatest
exposition the world has vet seen or
none at all. The necessity OF favorable
action by Congress at this session upon
the S., 100000 appropriation solicited
from the Federal Government is obvious.
II the Federal Government should fail
to do its share toward the success OF the
enterprise, the people of the city OF st.
Louis can hardly be expected to vote to
increase their bonded Indebtedness
$1,000, 900 tor the purposes OF the expo
sition in addition to raising $1,000, 600
by popular subscription.

"An arbitrary minister OF Charles IL
would have been ashamed to send over

Of Porto Rico. Under Spanish rule the
Portoriouenos had at least representa-

voice in the management OF their own

A Mookery of Self Government,

unjust, Unconstitutional, Un-Repub'
Iican and Un American" are the words
with which Congressman Littleheld, OF
Maine, himself a Republican, character
Ized the Infamous Porto Rican Civil bill.
This was added on in the Senate to the
bill placing tariff on goods imported
form Porto Riro into the United States,
and Dice Oeysa. and was agreed to IN the
House, practically without debate
The Civil bill is the most outrageous
departure from American principle
possible to contemplate. 1t is so torci'
bly and graphically described IN the
Philadelphia Record that we reproduce
it, and invite the closest attention
thereto. The Record says;
ain the House the Republicans will
endeavor to pass under whip and spur
the Foraker bill TO impose upon the
people of Porto Rico fraudful pretense
OF local self government and a dlscrlm
NATIVE tariff against their trade IN
violation Of the Constitution OF the
limited States. So gross in its iniquity
is this civil government scheme that ITS
advocates in the House dare not afford
time and opportunity to its opponents
to discuss its provisions. With the
pretense Of COnieiring on the people Of
Porto Rico a local legislature the bill
cuunlngly deprives that body oi every
attribute oflegislative power. There IS
not an act OF the socalled "House OF
Delegates" that is not made subject to
the veto Of a carpetbag executive
council. To this council is given exclu-
