HOUSE DRESSES OF THE ELABORATE SORT

almost any old thing for the house has
led to this outbreak of highly wrought eff
fects. The right hand model of the next
picture is about as simple as they make
'em nowadays. Yet it was pink crepe
de chine, gathered and finished with black
velvet in bands and tiny boleros.
Nor is there any general tendency to
avoid Celebrations fh the house dress
skirt. In delicate fabrics double and
even triple skirts are seen, and in some
instances there is divergence from the
usual rule for adherence to natural out
lines about the hips. These gowns are
exceptions, however. A skirt made in
three ruffies is shown in the accompany
ing picture, for which it was sketched in
nile green Japanese silk. Cream lace
for yoke and sleeves, gold girdle and
a glorious bow and streamers of the silk
embroidered in gold and crystal were the
embellishments. To the left of this in
the picture Is skirt whose upper portion
kept to the rule for close fit, a gorgeous
spread coming in its foot fiounee Tur-
quoise blue landsdowne silk was its ma
terlal, ivory white duchess lace and black
chenille trimming it. Chenille is one of
the most stylish of trimmings also one of
the most extravagant. Great punches
of it finger thick are hung from a bust
knit to the hem of the skirt.
Panne velvet seems more beautiful
than ever this season. 1t clings with the
smoothness of undressed leather, and it
is wonder Of color and light effects. In
Persian blendings it deserves to be rank
ed with the choicest Eastern and old In
dian goods. In millinery and for fancy
bodices, as well as for applications, with
lace and cloth, nothing is more beautiful.
On cloth gowns it is much used to finish
the edges of bolero and skirts in the GEN
eral manner shown by the left-hand
model of the next picture Here bright
red panne velvet dotted with white was
put on biscuit cloth, black silk braid ont
lining the velvet. Where the panne is
the main material, it shows off best In

Except when for separate skirts, the new

silks are offered in great variety, and

who wants to make over will have lots OF
trouble in matching silk to help out.
The most conspicuous feature of many
dresses is the sleeve. Everything that
can be used for trimming can find place
between shoulder to wrist, and often

termination to wear undersleeyes even af-

Skirts are long and full. True. heavier
materials are still made up in rather plain
skirts. but there is a craze for delicate

Rare minerals which are being mined
at Long Hill, eight miles north Of
Bridgeport, Conn, are being used by
the United States government in a
series of experiments to find proiec-
tile that will pierce the heaviest and
hardest armor plate. The products of
this mine are wolfram and scheelite,
the two being found in combination so
far nowhere else in the world They
are, however, found separately, scheel-
tie being found in the gold mines of
New Zealand, but it does not equal
either in quantity or quality that which
is being mined at Long Hill from the
Shaganowaump Mountain. Wolfram
is found in small quantities in Utah,
Arizona, and the tin mines 'of Corn
wall, England. This combination makes
the value of the mine extremely great.
Wolfram and scheelite are the ores of
tungsten. AT the present time the
products of the mine sell from $3.50 to
$500 ton, and the owners of this mine
control the worlds market for tung-

even being washed away by ordinary
waves or tides. Once made to grow,
these plants win contribute vegetable
matter to the soil, which in time may
make them fertile for other plants. The
department is introducing sand binding
plants from foreign countries which
they propose to have tested in climates
here like those from which they are
brought, to see if any of them are SUI
perior to our native sandgrowing spe-
cies. Even if they fail to make the
sand fertile. it will be of advantage in
preventing its drifting and covering
other land. For some years the Gov
eminent has been setting some of the
beaches with sedge or grass to prevent
the shifting of the coast line. and the
formation of sand bars in streams by
the blowing or washing of sand from
the shore, and they may find some plant
which will be more valuable for this
purpose than any we now have.

BLANCHE K. BRucE's TACT.
How He Exercised 1t to Avert Trouble
on a Mississippi Steamboat.


Mississippi Steamboat.
On one of Blanche X. Bruces visits
to New York he told of an experience
which he had just after he was elected
Senator from Mississippi, and it was
an experience which illustrates the tact
and good sense which always charac-
teriZed him, and which explained much
of the success and respect which he
gained by his public life in Washing
ton. 1t was announced that the Sena-
tor would go to Washington from his
Mississippi home by one of the Missis-
sippi steamboats,, at least as far as st.
Louis on his way. The captain, man
of the name of feathers, was a typical
Mississippi steamboat captain, and he
was reported to have said that he would
show the black Senator when he got
aboard of his boat that he would have
to keep his place On that boat. and if
he put on any airs because he hap
pened TO be Senator the captain would
teach him manners.
AS soon as Bruce boarded the steam
boat he sought the captain and said to
him: Captain feathers, am going to
Washington. and a part of the way as
passenger on your steamboat. My
name is Bruce, and possibly you may
have heard of me. What l wanted to
say is that l know perfectly well what
the feeling of many people who are
travellers regarding persons of my color
Is. They cannot help 1T, and l cannot
help it, and am going 10 give them no
occasion for any annoyance while l
am passenger on your boat. l sim
ply ask you that you see to it that |
am made as comfortable as possible,
and assure you that you will have no
reason for complaint"
The bluff captain stepped back pace
or two, looked Bruce over, and then
held out his hand and said with great
emphasis: by ~. you shall sit at
MY table: you shall sit on my right
hand on the entire trip. and if any man

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

President McKinley's message, of
course, gives the people what they
voted for. But nobody reading it
would imagine that it was the expires
sion of the head of a democratic gov
eminent. There is not one line in il,
for instance, expressive of dissatisfac
ton with the condition of the masses
of the people The man of thousand
years hence reading it would suppose
that everybody here was happy, and
that the President had only to suggest
few little things to make our social
condition complete
The first thing mentioned in the
message is prosperity. The last word
of the message is peace. Mr.. McKin-
ley asks for 100000 soldiers. He says
that 10000 men must be kept in the
Philippines for an indefinite period.
He tells us that last year we We're
taxed seventy-nine millions iii excess
of Government expenditures. He rec
ommends that taxes be now reduced
thirty millions, indicating his purpose
to spend forty nine millions more than
last year, or at least to have the money
handy.
He devotes passage to warning US
solemnly against national extrava-
gance. He demands the passage of the
ship subsidy bill. which viii pay as a
bonus to one steamship company alone
that owned by the Standard Oil Trust
more than two millions annually of
Government money. He has negotiated
treaty giving Spain an extra hundred
thousand dollars for small islands that
we forgot to take before.
Mr.. Mckinley asks for further legis-
lation-if any can be deyised-to put
us more thoroughly on a gold basis.
He says not one word to contradict
Hanna's statement: There are no
trusts" In feeble, perfunctory way,
like bad boy saying his prayers, he
remarks that combinations, if injuri-
Gus, might be ''restrained."
The Filipinos are to be made good
almost as good as we are.
The savage tribes are to be treated by
Mr.. Mckinley benevolently and in pa
ternal fashion, as we have treated our
Indians. Mr.. Mckinley asks for a
cable to Manila via Hawaii. But he
says no word of Government owner
ship of that cable. He praises the
work of the postoffice, but says moth
ing about a parcels post system, which
would delight the people, and help
every business man. He says nothing
of a system of postal savings banks,
whichwould give security to the depos-
its of the poor, give to the masses of
the people the money now paid to a
few Government bond owners-and in
terfere with the plans of a few bank
ers.
1t is not bad message. 1t provides
for the views and needs of the we'll

Menace TO the Republic.

Mr.. McKinley's phrase that 1.-THE re-

that conditions are looming up in this
country that resemble those which sig
nalized the interregnum of Rome's
transmission from a republic to the do
minion of the Caesars. This menace
will grow. The elements in control of
Mr. McKinley's party, in the fatuous
belief that their late success at the
