SETTLEMENT THAT SETTLES
NOTHING,

Washington, March 29.-Renewed efforts
were made today to secure an agreement
on the Porto hico bill. The friends OF
the measure are still confident, but the
opponents on the Republican side stated
positively that the House tariff provision
could not go Through. Several pTopesi-
tlons for compromise have bean made.
One IS to place in the hands of the Presi-
dent authority to remit duties on goods
going into Porto Rico, and to retain the
fifteen per csnt duty on goods coming
to this country until the Porto Rican
legislature can convene, and prepare q
syttsm of raising revenue for the island.
1t is said this proposition will be accepted
by number Of the opponents of the
present bill.

Fortunately for all on board the ship,
the whirling mass of water passed clear

The Lincoln home is visited every year
by fifty thousand persons, who pass
with reverent steps from one room to
another examining the plain furniture,
the books and personal belongings that
have gained a priceless value, because
they were the property of the illustrlous
statesman, whose simple manhood, as
well as his distinguished services, en-

1t is no longer fashionable to have
any trimming at the back of the col
lar, but women who have long necEs
or whose necks are beginning to look
thin find it great advantage to tic a
piece of tulle around the neck with n
bow at the back. This gives n pretty
finish to stiff ribbon stock collar and
is almost invariably becoming Only
white or black tulle should be used.
For evening the same thing is often
seen worn even with jewelcd collar
or handsome necklace. and it seems
to soften any hard lines i'm most
satisfactory fashion. Boas and ruches
worn around the neck are very soft,
but not very full unless intended for
quite cool weather A pretty one is
made of liberty satin or chiffon trim
med with bands of white lace and with
little plated edge of chiffon. This
fastens at the throat and has long ends
edged with lace that hang down over

While the farmer has been busy with
his haying and harvesting the garden
has probably been more or less neglect
ed. Weeds grow very fast during July
and August, as the warmth induces the
rapid decomposition of vegetable mat
ter and its conversion into the most
stimulating fertilizer ammonia The

Early in August is not too late to set
celery, which is all the better for max
ing a quick growth. The early celery
set a month or more ago should have
earth drawn around it, taking care not
to let the soil get between the growing
