Long Cloaks for Early Autumn.

Although its advance has been
more or less hcsitating, the long cloak
will be adopted generally in the early
autumn. This garment will be made
to suit all sorts of functions, and will
appear in thin and heavy fabrics, but
with larger representation in plain
and fancy silks. The Empire gar
ment form is leading all others The
tendency toward this form is being
accentuated each succeeding week.
For carriage use exceedingly bright
.colors are appearing in these gar
.ments. One, very charming output
of French make, is made of hydrangea-
blue taffeta, which is attached to
white silk yoke and collar, the two
latter being embroidered in blue and
silver. The skirt of the coat and the
sleeves are laid in narrow line tucks,
stitched with black silk. These eX-
tend to within II inches of the foot
of the garment, which is thereafter
left plain. \ handsome capuchin dra-
perry of black velvet ornaments the
shoulders, from under which falls
deep full ruffle of Chantilly lace. Vel
vet ribbon bows complete the dra-
perry in front, and these end in long
ribbon ends, reaching practically to
the foot of the garment. The collar
and sleeves are lined with black vel
vet. a decided innovation, and one
that greatly enhances the beauty OF
the complexion of the wearer, This
coat is in truth one of the earliest
opera cloaks to appear.-Harper's

Speaking of the semi-centennlal

college of Pennsylvania, the Phila-

field. the Woman's Medical college
was the first among American institu-

examination. 1t began asking a long
err course. 1t was early and energetic
in supplementing the d,dactic lecture
by laboratory work. Its graduates
have more than held their own in the
competition for hospital appoint

far more\than their proportional share

item OF title.
Having examined the title of property
your next question is about insurance. You
would not be silly enough to buy large
warehouse that could not possibly be in
sured. You would not have anything to
do with such property. Now, l ask you
what assurance can you give me that this
world is, not going to be burned up:
Absolutely none. Biologists tell us that
it IS already on fire; that the heart of the
world is one great living coal; that it is
just like a ship on fire at sea, the flames
not bursting out because the matches are
kept down. And yet you propose to palm
off on me, in return for my soul, world
for which, in the first place, you give no
title, and, in the second place, for which
you can give no insurance. ooh" you
say, 1.-THE water of the oceans will wash
over all the land and put out the fire.
Oh, no There are inhammable elements
in the water, hydrogen and oxygen. Call
off the hydrogen, and then the Atlantic
and the Pacific oceans would blaze like
heaps of shavings. You want me to take
this world, for which you can give no pos
sible insurance.
Astronomers have swept their telescopes
through the sky and have found out that
there have been fifteen worlds. in the last
two centuries, that have disappeared. At
first they looked just like other worlds.
Then they got deeply red-they were on
fire. Then they got ashen, showing they
were burned down. Then they disap-
peared, showing that even the ashes were
scattered. And, if the geoiogist be right
in his prophecy, then our world is to go IN
the same way. And yet you want me to
exchange my soul tor 1t. All. no; it Is

brought an insurance agent to look at
your property for the purpose of giving
you a policy upon it and while he stood
in front of the house he should say, That

YOU could not get any insurance upon it.

CONDITION OF CADET rAUssIG.
A Letter From Chefoo Says He VIII
Fully Recover.

The condition of Cadet Joseph Taus-
sig. of the Marine Corps, the Washington
boy who was wounded at Tjentsin on
June q, is described in a letter just re-
ceived in this city from Chefoo, 1t is
said that he is improving rapidly and
that it will probably not be necessary to
amputate the leg that received the Chi
nese bullet. His many friends in iris city
will be relieved of much anxiety by the
news as practically nothing has been
heard OF him since the first official des-
patch telling Of his wounding and OF the
killing and wounding of others Of the
Marines engaged in the fight.
The letter was sent on July Il from
Chefoo by an officer of one of the Ameri-
can war vessels at that point. It is stat
ed that young Taussig received very Sc
we're wound in the leg and that it was
at first believed that he would lose his
limb.
He is now so much improved, how
ever" the letter states, that there is no
further talk of amputation." 1t is fur
cher said that while it is not certain
that he may not have his leg shortened
somewhat by the wound there is every
chance that both he and the limb viii be
as strong as ever in a short time
aid for twenty-four hours after being
wounded and was moved six times be-
fore being taken in al the temporary hos
pital at Ts<u-"
Cadet Taussig was one of the marines
who volunteered for the expedition To-
ward Pekin and one Of the first accepted
by Admiral Kempf. He is only twenty
years old
Young Taussig is the son of Comman-
der Taussis who Is now with the Ameri-
can squadron at Chefco. He has lived in
Washington for many years and is q grad
uate OF the Washington High School He
was captain of the victorious company
from the Western High School in the
yearly drill of the High School regiment
three or four years ago He went TO An
napolis Immediately after completing his
course at the High School and was sent
out for active duty soon after his en-
trance. He was assigned 10 the Newark

ness. The police lost little, time in getting
Stow to the hospital in the ambulance and
the physicians at once made an examina@
tion of the injured man. 1t was found the
skull had been fractured at the base and
there were numerous bruises and cuts about
the head and face, The condition of the
patiert would not permit of an operation
aud he was sent to a ward where he re-
NAMED unconscious until his death.
In the mean time, Alexander had been
removed to No. s station He wy
drunk, the police say. and consequently
was Indifferent He admitted assaulting
Snow but claimed the cabn1an bit him on
the leg and tried to pull him down. He
denied emphaticaily that he used brass
knuellles or anything else than his fists
When seen this morning Alexander had
recovered from the effects of his debauch,
but was still extremely nervous. He did
not appear to realize the gravity OF the
situation which confronted him and
seemed to think his story of self-defence
should be credited When asked if the
bruise caused by the alleged bic Of Snow
was visible Alexander replied .'cSai.yely.
Lieutenant Moore stated that he examined
Alexander for evidence of a bite imTne-
diately after bringing him to the station,
but could find none.
The police do not give Alexander = good
reputation. They say they have had occa-
sion to deal with him before. He .'ims
to be a florist. and at one time WAS eia-
ployed at Department of Agriculture. He
is not employed now. and has not becu for
some time. His mother is employed at
