broidered with silk, and these also look
very rich in black In citizen case
these embroidered silks and satins are
| very beautiful and they are also very
| strong and durable.
Many of the new skirts are trimmed
with fiat garniture placed round the
hem and down the left side of the
| front gbre; when this style is adopted,
an admirable effect can be gained by
using some velvet ribbon, about two
inches wide, to finish the extreme bor-
der of the skirt and side drapery..
The junction of the velvet and the
dress material can be outlined with
single row of the narrowest gold or
silver tinse1 braid, or a band
of passementerie. When draperies or
long tunics cover the greater portion
of skirt, the foundation slip is usually
trimmed with a series of f1ounces
round the base. This style looks we'll
when the drapery is composed of a
transparent canvas or grenadine. The
border of the drapery can then be or
namented with deep motifs of lace
Wide borders, or piece laces with
bold designs, are being used to great
advantage by cutting away the net, or
foundation, so that the pattern appears
like motifs of passementerie. Borders
treated in this manner make beauti-
full finish to tunio draperies. The edge
proper is sewn to the border of the
hem, while the lace scrolls are sewn
down fiat on to the material. Wide
insertion laces are also used Tabliers
are also outlined with lace, while side
panels are frequently composed of it,
One of the prettlest gowns recently
seen was worn at reception at the
home of Mrs. Ferdinand Peck 1t was
an afternoon gown of wedgewood- blue
cashmere royal. The skirt was made
to form plaits ali round and was edged
with band of blue velvet The bodice
was with white front, braided with
gold braid. Below this was draped
waistcoat and waistband of blue vel
vet. Over this was q bolero cut up
into deep scallops alis round the edge,
and turned back with square reyers,
which were faced with white and
braided with gold. Down each side of
the front it was finished with small
gold buttons. The sleeves were tight
fitting, and tucked from hhoulder to
wrist.

The BIessed sncrnment.

"He that eateth my flesh and drink
eth my blood abideth in me and 1 in
him." says st. Augustine. "This, then,
is what is meant by eating that food
and taking that drink-namely. that he
abides in Christ and Christ in him.
And by this-if any man does not abide
in Christ-is meant that he does not
spiritually eat his flesh and drink his
blood. although carnally and sensibly
he receives the body and blood Of
Christ on his tongue. Nay, even, he
eats and drinks this sacrament to his
own damnatiOn. because, though I'M
clean, he dares to approach the sacra-
mental species, which no one but the
tlean worthily receive, as it is written:
blessed are the clean of heart, for they
shall see God"

BRILLIANT Innings.

There is a vogue for brilliant Innings.
A gown, recently made for an Amer
lean woman to wear at Newport this
September, is of ice cloth cool, SHIN
mering and beautiful. The skirt which
is very short, being little more than
ankle length is lined with Jack rose
taffeta. The coat is an Elton with
white silk reyers, the whole of ice cloth
lined with the Jack rose taffeta. Re-
vers of the silk turn over at the throat.
The blouse to be worn with the Elton
is q pale blue Bingham the plaids
showing thread of red.
A brilliant little soft felt hat viii
be worn with this suit. The color of
the hat is Jack rose, exactly to match
the lining of the skirt. A broad Jack
silk tie will be knotted at the throat.
The bolero is becoming more and
more eccentric One of the newest bo-
leros is extremely short in the back
and on the sides and very long in front,
where the tabs reach the belt and are
finished with two tiny buttons.
The tunic also grows in -eccentricity.
One of the newest shapes shows a very
much elongated front which rounds
away at the sides and is short in the
back This style of tunic is much af-
fected by the woman who desires
something tailor-made yet novel; Sc
we're yet becoming.
A gown of this description is among
the last of the summer dresses that
will be made up this season. 1t is of
light green cloth with tucked waist and
skirt. A very short bolero of the
plain cloth is worn over the waist the
tabs being elongated and reaching to
the waist line. The tunic is also long
in front and touches the ground while
the sides and back are very short.
Silks, like other materials, are being |
strangely embroid-
cred, too; for instance, they are some
times embroidered with satin. This
looks like brocade at first sight, and |
IS very rich in appearance, especially |
n black, which is so much worn now. /

The French girl is being seen now,
as never in her life before. At Trou-
vile the other day the writer counted
half a dozen young women of eighteen
walking upon the piazza of one of the
hotels. They were well dressed in all
the pretty little belongings that seem
a part of girlhood. BY their side trot-
ted a pink flannel young man bent
upon pleasing them. They were
French summer girls-types that were
strangers to France before this year.
A French girl who formerly wore
ANY old thing is now very modishly
attired in fine little gowns that are
designed for her and built specially
to fit her figure.
In response to the demand for gowns
for growing girls one of the tradesmen
upon the Rue de la PaiX advertises
designs for half grown girls, and very
becoming they are, with their broad
wasted effects and their skirts that
are made to escape the ground
So very pretty are some of these
>
HAYS been out several seasons copying
them and dressing like the girl of six
teen even to the wearing of the hair
in a big loose coil at the very nape
of the neck, where a big ribbon bow
secures it.
While the figure of the growing girl
should not be confined in corsets, yet
1t is true that, if the woman is going
to. wear the corset, she had better get
used to it, as girl. The girls corset,
as now made, is straight in front and
is worn merely as a support for the
skirts, and it must be confessed that
it is more comfortable to wear such
a garment than to go without it, as the
skirt bands do not cut so cruelty nor
do the garments sag in all directions.
Until the Empire styles are revived to
stay vivified, and corsets are abolished,
there is nothing that will meet the de-
mands of comfort like the corset with
the straight front and the slightly
curved back Upon these lines are all
the gowns for girls now built.

BLUE AND YELLOW.

The stock was of the same smooth
piece of yellow satin and yellow sat
in ribbon tied the hair Upon the
front of the waist was a big handsome
bow of the yellow satin, thus finishing
the waist very prettily.
OF course the tiny bolero must al
ways be in evidence and small bolero
of Irish point was slipped on over this
waist. AS though there could be any
warmth in a tiny little garment like
this. the bolero was lined with satin
to be taken off when the sun shone
brightly.

WORKING TO PASS
VIADUCT MEASURE
Supporters of Measure Are Trying to
Get Sufficient Number Of Votes
in the Select Council.

The supporters of the viaduct ordi-
nance are making an earnest canvass
to secure sufficient votes to pass the
measure on first and second readings
In select council tonight, and feel
confident of success.
The ordinance is now out of the
hands Of the streets and bridges COM
mittee. having been taken from them
at the last meeting. although quo
rum was not present when the motion
was passed.
Chairman Chttenden. OF the COM
mittee, has been gathering figures on
the approximate amount of the dam
ages which will be incurred by the
erection of the viaduct and it is un-
derstood that he has compiled a fairly
complete list, which he will present at
to-night's meeting, in the hope .of
preventing the passage Of the ordi-
nance.
Mr.. Chittenden, while he favors the
erection of q viaduct is firmly con-
vinced that the present plan of erect
ing one is a direct violation Of the
act of assembly which prohibits cities
of the third class from increasing
their debt limit beyond two percent.
of the assessed valuation without the
consent of the people. FIe thinks that
the statement that the damages will
not be created until the structure is
completed, is merely sort of sharp
trick to get around the law.
Mayor Moir and City Engineer Phil
lips, in pursuance with the directions
of resolution passed by common
council. are cndeavoring also to Sc
cure an approximate estimate of the
damages to be caused, but they are
not meeting with any success. They
are sending out letters to each prop
erty owner. asking for a statement of
the amount of damages which he will
incur, but the property owners do not
appear very anxious to commit them
selves In writing.

CHESS CLUB HAS
BEEN REVIVED
Local Lovers of the Game Have Re-
organized for the Winter--Lnst
Seasons Handicap Tournament.

! The Scranton Chess club, which last
| season proved a source of much pleas
| ure to all local lovers OF the intrica te
and scientific game. by the handicap
| tournament which 1t conducted
throughout the fall of 80 and winter
| of 1900, has reorganiZed. Great inter-
est is being manifested in the club and
already over twenty members have
been enrolled on the secretary's list.
At a recent meeting held in the
studio of Artist John Brainard, in the
Price building, officers were elected for
the ensuing year. Colonel f. L. Hitch
cock was again chosen president. and
Robert G. Adams was made secretary.
The club will hold weekly meetings,
coming together every Saturday night.
For the present meetings will be held
at the Office of Attorney Peck, in the
board of trade building. Later on, the
club will probably meet at the houses
of the various members.
Last years tournament was won
by Professor S. Friedwald, of the High
school faculty. The contestants in the
tournament were divided into three
classes. and Professor Friedewald
proved himself to be easily the best
player in the club, by winning twenty
two games, tieing one and losing one,
out of twenty-four played, a splendid
record.
Last year the club brought the Amer
lean chess champion, Pillsbury, to this
city, and his advent proved of great
interest to Scrantonians as he gave
truly remarkable exhibition Of both
chess and checker playing. He played
q q NIL nf eli MI tc M trot1
even using a blindfold game, in which
he was unable to see a single one of his
opponents and only knew their moves
as they called them off. F. r. Welsh.
of Jermyn, one of the members of the
club, was the only one who succeeded
in wrestling a game from the cham
piOn.
During the coming winter another
tournament will probably be contested.
and in addition matches will be ar
ranged with one of the city chess
teams. Tunkhannock is every year
represented by several doughty chess
champions and these will be called
upon to do battle with the local play
ers Wilkes-Barre. also, is generally
represented by a team of experts at the
game, and it is likely that the Scranton
Chess club will arrange for a tourna-
ment with, and do all sorts of things
to, the men from down the valley.
Several members of the High school
faculty are members OF the club Pro-
fessorS Friedewald. w. l.. Schimpff
and John U. Wagner, all being en-
thusiastic followers of the chess-men.
Among the other members are: Colonel
f. L. Hitchcock. Edmund A. Bartl,
r. G. Adams, Wilson Bailey, John
Brainard, w. I.oveland, Joseph Miller,
Winfred J. Northup, e. G. Worden,

DIDN'T WAIT ON OFFICIALS.
License Committee Thought It Best
Not to Do 30.

1t can be announced with definite
certainty that the license committee
of the select council will. at to-
nights meeting, return the license
tax ordinance without any report.
The committee was instructed at
the last meeting to confer with the
officials Of the Scranton Railway
company for the purpose Of seeing
il they would be agreeable to NJ tax
OF five per cent. on their gross re-
ceipts, providing one half of r;,e
money thus realized is devoted to
park improvement purposes.
The members of the committee
have been thinking this question over
and they have reached the conc,u-
sion that 1t would place them in
queer light IL they waited upon the
company officials and asked them if
they would be willing TO accept such
an amendment
"If we've got the right to tax this
company that amount" said one OF
the members Of the committee yes
terday, land IL we believe that it
should be taxed that much, then we
should go right ahead and tax them
without asking them whether they
like It or not. 1 believe that the
company officials would as a .simpl.
matter Of business. attempt to stave
off as much taxation as possible and
don't believe for a minute that
they would agree to be taxed FIVE
per cent. just because 1t was going
to be used for park purposes"
The members Of the committee, IL
must be understood, do not believe
that the city can tax the company
as much as five per cent. Of the gross
receipts. They seem to be unani-
nous in believing that a tax Of 500
per car is just about the proper thing
and will report the ordinance back
to council tonight with the above
explanation.

Cost Of the Strike.

the differences between operators and miners will
be satisfactorily adjusted by the end OF this week.
Cost Of the Strike.
The strike went into effect Sept. II
and yesterday was just month In
progress. There were $4,000 men idle
and the loss In wages to these repre-
sents nearly s4.ooO,0oO. 1t is estimated
that the loss to railroad employees,
clerks and others thrown Idle by the
decrease of business due to the strike,
and the loss to railroad companies in
the matter of decreased freight will
foot up TO s5,OO0,0Oo. The total output
OF coal for the month the miners were
idle would have been,- according to the
allotment. 100000 tons. The loss 10
the operators, therefore, was in the
neighborhood of $10,O00,OOO. The cost
Of troops and deputies was easily an
other half million. the cost of troo.s
alone being 100000. The number of
lives lost was six. and the number OF
persons injured 40. The total losses
from the strike equal about $4,000, 600.
How the 10 per cent. increase viii
benefit Scranton is an interesting CAL
culat!on. There are 10000 mine en-
poyes in the territory directly tribu-
tary to the metropolis of the coal
fields. Their aggregate wages for
year. working 200 days would be about
$16,000,000. Ten per cent. of this, or
N,600.0O0, represents the additional
money that will be put into circulation.
This will make UP. with plenty to
spare, for all the wages !lat will he
cut off by the closing down of the
steel mill even though the mill was
working full time.
