The all.round useful jacket is short
aud Jauunty, whether it makes part of
a costume or is made from covert cloth,
broadcloth or cheviot, and designed for
wear with all skirts. A favorite model
combines q fitted back, with loose,
double breasted fronts, as shown In
the illustration. The lines given by
the necessary seams tend to lessen the
apparent size of the waist,at the back,
and give trim effect that is extremely
chic. AT the same time tho loose fronts
allow OF wear over handsome waists
without fear OF crushing, practical
feature we'll worth bearing in mind.
As shown, the material is covert cloth
In medium tan with brown velvet
collar and lining of taffetaN in brown
lines of red, but Oxford gray. black
and dark blue are equally suitable iof
general wear, and any suiting cloth can
be used when the costume is entire.
The back includes side-backs and
under.arm cores, which give taper
ing effect to the figure, and is arranged
to form pointed overlap below the
waist as illustrated, or can be made
with ths side-h laid over the back.
The fronts are fitted by means Of
shoulder and under-ar seams, aud in
olude pockets that add to the style as
we'll as to the convenience. The neck is
finished with pointed revers, and q
turn over collar, which ia faced with
velvet to meet the turned-up cloth
edge. The sleeves are two-seamed and
fit snugly, while they are all large
enough to admit those of the bodice
without effort. They flare gracefully
at the wrists, and are curved to give a
scalloped effect. The edges are all
stitched to give tailor finish.

DASH FOR THE NORTH POLE.

1t Next Spring.
Boston, Mass, Nov. 2. Evelyn b.
Baldwin, the head of the Baldwin
Zelgler polar expedition, which is to
start in 1901, who was in this city
today on his way to Nova Scotia, was
shown the dispatch from Edinburgh
relating to the return of the Scotch
whaler Eclipse to Dundee with mem
bers of the Stein expedition to Ellis
mereland.
In commenting upon the report, the
authenticity of which he does not
doubt, Mr.. Baldwin said that II it were
tue that Lieut.. X. E. Pesry did not
get under way from the headquarters
at Etah until last August 1t would
seem to show that again he had been
hamperud in his efforts to reach Fort
Ccnger in time to make q dash for the
pole early last spring.
1T will be recalled" Mr.. Baldwin
said, "that Nh. Peary when last heard
from in the fall OF 1899 had stated his
determination to pass the winter of
lS98-99 at Etah and to make an early
start in the spring of 1899 to Fort Uon.
ger from which point he expected to
make an effort to reach the pole and
return in the course Of the spring and
sumner of the present year. That ho
has been unable to accomplish this is
apparent. Ii no mistake has been made
with regard to his passing Pym Island
last August and in the event of his
having reached Fort Conger this fail,
1t ia likely that he would not endeavor
to reach the pole this year, but would
remain during the coming winter at
Fort Conger and make the effort in the
spring and summer of 1901.
eff this surposition is correct the
continued absence of the Windward is
explained, as in the case of Mr.. Peary's
failure to accomplish his work during
the past year the Wiudward was to re.
main north during the coming winter.
''Another thing in connection with
the situation is the fact that if the ice
was sufficiently strong and contract
enough to permit of sedge travel in
Kane basin and Kennedy channel last
August, it would indicate that the
Windward or any other ship would not
be able to get veiy far north this year.
1--WE are left to silrmIse what has
become Of the Fran. 1t seems singular
| that no news has come from Capt,
Sverdrup, Der navigator, unless they
were 30 far north that they could no
communicate with the Stein party. I
consider, however. that there is no
cause 10 be over-anxious concerning
the safety Of either Lieut.. Peary, Capt.
Sverdrup or the WindwaId."

FREMONT VOTERS.

An Incident of an Early Campaign Re-
called by u Local Participant.
A Wilmingtonian who participated
in the campaign of 1856, when John Q.
Fremont was the Wing candidate for
President of the United States. recalls
an interesting incident, as follows:
"At that time Central Presbyterian
Church was in course OF erection, and
John Lattimer, one Of the members and
a liberal contributor, announced before
election day that for every vote cast in
Delaware Tor Mr.. Fremont he would
donate an additional dollar to the
building fund of the church, and as a
result he gave $500 in addition to his
first donation, there being 1903 Free
mont voters in the State.
1T is known that at least four CT
these voters, William Ferris, Robert o.,
Faim, Edwin Hirst and Robert p.
Carey are still living here, and 1t has
been suggested that they be given n
place in the Republican parade. II
there are other Fremont voters those
interested would like to receive their
Names"
