THIN SUMMER FROCKS.
Light and Airy Fabrics for Warm
weather Costumes Now
Coming In.

The old-fashioned notion of lining
thin materials with heavy dress Innings
or white cotton seems not TO be consid-
cred at all this season. The heavier
weight stuffs like gingham, duck,
khaki, percale, madras and print, are
made up wholly without Innings; while
very thin goods, organdie, lawn, null,
dimity and the cotton pineapple and
muslin are usually worn with pettl-
coat of lawn the same shade OF the
skirt. that serves as a skirt lining al
though made quite separately. The
waists of thin cotton goods, when worn
over a pretty corset cover, do not re-
quire a lining, except in some few in
stances they are difficult to fit without,
and then lawn is mostly used, says the
Ledger-Monthly
Of course, very elaborate gowns of
lace. chiffon or silk muslin are apt to
be made over thin silk Innings.
The skirts of summer fabrics will be
made with less fare about the feet
and more at the waist-line-an honest
sort of readiustment of material.
Every sensible woman Will be glad
to know that the gathered skirt has
come back. And the summer frock
that announces itself as this seasons
make is pretty sure to have the back
breadth gathered into two-inch space
at the belt. Occasionally the fullness
is tucked, but rarely plated.
The heavier wash stuffs are more
than often perfectly plain, but organ
dies and the like are usually finished
with one or many ruff1es of the same
goods, which are in turn trimmed with
lace or shirred ribbon.
Yoke waists in all styles are worn,
but the newest and most fashionable
yoke is deep and straight, and some
times extends under the arms. The
woke may be either of the same material
as the dress, or Of lace, or beading and
ribbon, or all-over lace or embroidery.
The sleeves of the newest thin frocks
are often quite plain; for the street
long, reaching well over the hands, and
ending at the elbow for indoor dresses.
Slender women like the fichu effects
in the way of trimming, or the short

effective in color over a cream-lace
blouse.
There is a decidedly reasonable, as
well as pretty, change in the summer
stocks. For thin, and often heavy
dresses, too, they are of lace made a
little full and unlined. They can easily
be made at home by girl with ever
so little knack of imitation. They are
usually made from all-over lace or wide
edging, and are cut about six inches
high, rounding up trifie back of the
ears. A zephyr whalebone on either
side, on which the collar is fulled to
bring it down to a becoming height,
has the merit of also holding it in place.
The edge of the stock is hemmed on
the right side and finished with roll
of velvet or satin taffeta. Velvet and
silk may be used in this same style,
but the fad just now is for lace.

CHAPTER II.
TOM MEETS AN OLD ENEMY

TOM MEETS AN OLD ENEMY.
When Tom Scott awoke the following
morning his side was stiff and sore, but
by the time he had dressed and made
his way downstairs he had almost for
gotten the wound in the realization of
the fact that the way had been miracu-
lously opened for him to reach the gold
region.
He found the old miner waiting for
him in the smoking-room, and as he
entered the latter arose and greeted
him heartily, saying:
Good morning, Scott. How is the
side to-day? Pretty sore, isn't it? My
headpiece is rather tender, too, from
the clip 1 got, but they'll both have
time to heal before the voyage is over
Come on, let's get good square meal
and then We'll go down to the vessel
I hope she'll be ready to sail to-day
All my stuff's been on board for a
week now. You'll want few duds, too.
dare say, for the trip"
After hearty meal the two men pro-
ceeded to the wharf, and as they
reached the scene of the previous
nights struggle the elder man said,
quietly:
"I'll never forget this place as long
as 1 live. If those rascals had only
dreamed what carried with me they'd
have finished their bloody work and I'd
have been down there"
AS he spoke he pointed significantly
toward the icy water in the dock and
then added:
''The money was nothing, but"
He broke off suddenly and led the
way in silence until they reached the
vessel, where the captain, grizzled old
salt, was pacing the deck and urging
the stevedores to greater efforts.
The Seabird was trim built craft of
about GOO tons. The cook was flying
about the deck in his white apron, the
second mate was hard at work below,
and as the two men stepped on board
the captain said, cheerily:
Good morning, Mr.. Avery. We're
about ready. you see. The wind is fair,
and if nothing happens we'll be under
way by dinner time. The mate has
gone back on me and I've sent after
another man."
In a few words the miner informed
The old seadog of his adventure the pre-
ceding evening, adding:
''Tlds is Mr.. Thomas Scott, who saved
nv life If it hadn't been for him you'd
have sailed without me, and now you've
got TO take him too. He'll pay the same
as 1 do. and share my stateroom. Is it
q bargain?"
"He's welcome" was the curt reply,
"as long as he's TO bunk in with you.
I've no other spare berth"

weapon was torn from his hand instant
ly. He found himself pressed against
the mizzenmast with force that near
ly took his breath away, while Tom said,
sternly:
Don't try that with me again or I'll
pitch you overboard!"
As he spoke he released the mate, who o
sprang for the cabin steps, his face
crimson with passion, shouting:
''Mutiny! Mutiny! I'll have your
life for this!"
He had reached the head of the steps
when Capt. Coffin appeared on the
scene, attracted by the mates loud
tones.
What's the trouble here?" he de-
manded, as the officer tried to push by
him on the steps.
Its mutiny, sir!" was the angry re-
ply. 'Wait till L get my pistol, and I'll
soon settle it!'
The captain looked about him in sur
prise. Tom stood alone on the quarter
deck, and the whole matter was mex
plicable unless the new mate was crazy,
a thought which found ample justifica-
ton in his disordered appearance.
'Mutiny?" he repeated, contemptu-
ously. "See here, if you've been drink
ing, Mr.. Rider, don't lett happen again.
1 can make allowance for sailing day,
but see it doesn't happen again!"
Il am as sober as you are" was the
surly reply. THAT man there! That
Scott whelp! He refused to obey me,
and I'll see whether 1 am mate of this
ship or not!'
With one stride the captain reached
his side and thrust his weather. beaten
face close to the mates, giving him a
look before which the other quailed.
Look you'll" he said, sharply. when
you speak to me remember l have a
handle to my name, and see you put it
on every time! You must be drunk!"
The mate looked from one to the
other as if he could not believe his own
senses. What did it all mean? Why
did the skipper refuse to side with him
and allow Tom to stand there unmolest-
ed after assaulting his superior officer!
Seeing he could do nothing but glare
at Tom the skipper turned to the latter
and said, coolly:

An appetizing relish for dinner meats
is made from a cabbage heart cut into
dice and picked like little onions, says
the New York Post.

and sprinkled over stuffed tomatoes
just before they go into the oven i'm

Following the English fashion, crisp,

DAYS handed round with cream cheese
and crackers at dinner just before the
coffee is served.
Cold steak may be acceptably served
as a leftover by passing it through the
meat chopper and arranging it neatly
on a platter, garnished with parsley
or watercress.
An expert points out that care is
necessary in the use of ammonia in
any silver-topped articles, especially
vinaigrettes. These tops are often made
of copper with thin layer of silver.
A crust of salts of ammonia remaining
upon the silver is apt to cut through
the copper which it dissolves, forming
poisonous copper salts. a vinaigrette
should not be filled too full, or laid
down in a way to allow the contents
to come against the silver top, par
ticularly if it is one of the inexpensive
sort. Better than cheap silver-topped
bottle is one with a glass stopper and
no metal cover.
Silver may be first wrapped in blue
L ! hon in nm h los ri o
canton flannel. If rugs are left spread
out they should be beaten thoroughly
and covered. 1t is better to streW them
with newspapers and sprinkle with
some moth preventive, afterward roll
ing them. Upholstered furniture must
be thoroughly brushed, packed with
moth preventive, and covered with
slip cover Or sheet. 1t is good plan
to fill window crevices with paper or
cotton to keep out dust. If carpets and
furniture are protected, the shades may
be left up and the inside blinds left
open. Sunlight is the best disinfectant
known, and is in itself a safeguard
against the depredations of the moth.
The juice from can of fruit if not
needed when the fruit is served. may
be used later as a foundation for
jelly. If the sirup is as rich as it should
be it will stand an equal amount OF
water. When thus diluted it is sweet
ened to taste, and used with dissolved
gelatine in the proportion of little over
a half a box to every quart. Pear siruP
is improved by heating with 1t bit OF
ginger root, and peach sirup has bet
ter flavor if a few blanched almonds
are thrown in These need not be taken
when the jelly is strained. Often the
fruit from a can is used for pudding,
fritters or with whipped cream, and
the juice is left unutilized. Even
very little of it left over should never
be thrown away. If sandwiches are TO
be prepared for school children, fruit
juice will be found very useful in moist
ening any sort of sweet filing.

CHAPTER I.-CoNTINUED.


A few moments sufficed to dress the
cut properly, and after turning over the
knife and revolver to the authorities,
to aid in identifying the two robbers,
Tom was about to start for his hotel
when his new acquaintance said, blunt
ly:
Hold on a minute. I'd like to know
the name of the man who stood by an
old chap tonight and saved my life.
How did you happen along so handy
Eke?"
MY name is Tom Scott, and hap
pened to hear those men planning to
rob somebody, so L kept an eye on
them. That's all"
'No, it amt all, by long chalk" T"
was the hearty response. "You did
more'n that, and 1 might be chucked
into the dock before this only for your
pluck. My name is John Avery, and
I'm pretty well known along the water
front as a man of my word. If 1 can
ever do you good turn you can count
on me. Live here in the city?"
''No, I'm just from New Hampshire"
said Tom.
Looking for work?"
mo, I'm trying to find a chance to
get to the Klondike."
"Then, by thunder, you needn't look
any longer" was the prompt reply, "be-
cause I'm bound there myself, and you
shall go with me if you want to.
wouldn't ask a better mate than you.
Where are you stopping?"
Tom mentioned the name of his hotel
and the other said at once:
"All right. Let's go there and talk
this thing over"
Half an hour later they were seated
in the smoking room aud Toms modest
story was told. When he had finished
his friend said:
That's a good, straight yarn, and
some DAY L may have one to tell you
that will open your eyes. All 1 need to
say now is that my name is John Avery.
I'm an old 49-er without wife or child,
ond I'm bound for the Klondike to get
my pile. It's waiting for me there, all
right. I've taken passage on a sailing
vessel because l like the water and
hate the cars. Besides, there is no use
getting there before spring. 1 will pay
your passage out on the same vessel,
and you can keep your little pile. If
the Yukon camps are anything like the
old days in California, you'll need it all
and more, too. Well call it loan
or anything you like, and you can pay
me when you strike rich claim"
Tom protested family, but he was
overwhelmed at the prospect, and soon
yielded.
We'll see about getting your passage
the first thing in the morning." said
Avery, 'and now, as my old head is
living me particular fits, guess I'll get

lating to sleep on board tonight, but I'll
wait for daylight before try that trip
again"
Then, pressing Toms hand warmly,
the old miner said:
Good night, mate. You oughter
sleep well after saving mans life, and
money, too. Do you know have S., 600
in my clothes, and but for you it
wouldn't be there now.''
There was suspicious moisture in
his eyes, as he turned hastily and left
the room, leaving Tom to his pleasant
thoughts.
He could hardly realize all that had
been crowded into the few hours since
his arrival, and his sleep was broken
by fitful dreams, in which revolvers
and robbers played prominent roles.

USELESS PHILIPPINE WAR.
Mckfnfey's Persistent Policy of subjuga gation by Military
 Conquest.

Dispatches from the Philippines are authentic. They are from our own officers there, and they make known a terrible condition of affairs. Over and over it has been asserted by the ad- ministration that the war there is ended. Now our officers are calling for more men, saying the present forces are inadequate to meet the in- surgents and compel submission. One body of 90 United States soldiers was compelled on Monday to fight for their lives with 1000 entrenched and armed Filipinos, with a loss of about one-third of their number. Gen. Mac Arthur pays glowing tribute to their heroic defense, "the splendid response of the men,"
 But compliments do not give us back our dead, and fine words do not heal wounds, or restore lost health. There were, few weeks ago, in the Philip pines about 65,000 United States sol diers. There is nearly that number there now, growing smaller by fatali- ties numbering from 40 to 130 every week.
 If there were no political unbeliev- CTS to satisfy and no ''pride of the ad- ministration" to cater to, does one think that this merciless sacrifice would be tolerated? We made fear full miscalculation when we undertook the subjugation of these islands, and they have proved an expensive burden, and the death of thousands of young men. The game is not worth the candle.

 of the Chinese.

Methodist ministers heard a denun- citation of the republican party's tar if principle by Bishop J. H. Thoburn, at the Rock River conference, held at the Garfield Park church, in Chicago, recently. The bishop, who has spent 40 years in the orient, delivered the | first of series of lectures on the eastern situation, and he likened the republican party to the Chinese. Our fathers never intended to build Chinese wall around this nation," he said, "by putting a duty upon things, and keeping the foreigner from bringing in his goods. We are doing as the Chinese have done for centuries. We must get broader mo- tions about these matters. The Chi nese built a stone wall that they thought would keep out the foreign CTS. Our stone wall is the custom houses that we set out on our borders

Let us give up being a semi-Chinese nation and excluding other people"
 The bishops attack on the republic an party was made in connection with his review of the Chinese and other orientals.
 He ascribed their lack of progression to the isolation created by the pro- tective system.
