In its design this skirt very subtly
suggests originality by a smooth-ft-
ing yoke cut in points around the low
er edge which are stitched closely down
over the tiny box plaits into which the
fullness is caught. The plaits are
stitched only a few inches then the full
ness flares unconfined about the figure
in a way that is very b%ewitching and
girlish upon slender women
These skirts are worn with separate
waists and have straps neatly stitched
and worked with buttonholes which
can be drawn over buttons of fancy
design sewed upon the bodice at each
side. The belt is slipped through
these straps and fastended either at the
front, with a small buckle clasp or in
visfbly at the side. The yoke overlaps
the front and fastens in a point by
al of hooks and eyes, whose service
is concealed by a button trimming.

field, of Copenhagen, who has been at
the Hotel Manhattan for a few days,
left for Washington last night. He is
one of the accredited agents of the
Danish government in the pending
negotiations looking to the sale to the
United States of the islands of st.
Thomas, st. John and st. Croix, known
as the Danish West Indies.
Capt. Christmas said he believed the
negotiations in progress would soon
reach a satisfactory termination. The
price first demanded was $13. 900, 900;
then it was reduced to $780, 900, but
now the Danish government is willing
to accept $4,00O,000, which sum will
about enable the authorities of Den
mark to pay the colonial indebted
ness.
Capt. Christmas said: II believe the
islands will prove valuable property
for the United States, and just as soon
as matters reach a certain stage, ]
shall disappear and negotiations will
be concluded by Constantine Brun, the
Danish minister at Washington. Henry

Romeo Freer is a great joker. He
belongs to the now you see it. now

think that they can use Freer in their
efforts to smash the ring. but they
cannot succeed. He may be used as q
foil to bar out others who might be-
come real candidates until the last mo-
ment, but when the time comes he will
not be in it. There is every reason
for his not being a candidate for Gov
ernor. His nomination is improbable
to begin with, and even should he get
that far his chance of election is lin
tied to a possibility. On the other hand
his nomination for Congress is con-
coded without opposition, and his
chance of being elected to Congress is
as good as his chance of being elected
Governor. The salary of Congressman

The skirt question has been amicably
settled without any great concession
being made to any particular design.
Indeed Dame Fashion has supplied a
style for every figure, from the grace
full nymph-like to the well-rcunded
embonpoint.
The most interesting skirt at present
is a dressy design which has been in
troduced in a new cloth of fine, soft
finish, much like ladies' cloth, though
minus the satin ~"face;" yet it is not
like novelty goods because the sugges-
ton Of shagginess is not sufficiently
distinctive.

in a careful investigation of the coal

learned that the New Workers are the

LOUISVILLE TO BE CAPITAL.

Louisville, KY, Feb. 4.-This city is
to be the seat, temporarily at least, OF
the democratic state government. To-
morrow the democratic members of
the legislature will meet here and it is
proposed to make Louisville the head
quarters of the executive and legisla-
tive branches of this state govern
ment as long as the presence of the
troops keeps them from Frankfort, or
until the present conflict of authority
in the state is settled.
The details of this plan were decid-
ed upon at the conferences held by
leading democratic leaders during the
afternoon and evening. Newspaper
men were carefully excluded from these
councils and every effort was made to
keep the deliberations secret. The
plan to have the democratic members
of the legislature meet here had al
ready been well matured. Preliminary
steps in this direction had peer taken
at the meetings Of these members held
in the Capitol hotel at Frankfort since
the state buildings have been surround
ed by soldiers. The democratic legis-
lators have adopted a concurrent reso-
luton for adjournment to Louisville,
and this fact vas made known early
In today's conference.
1t was stated by members of the
legislature present that threats had
been made at Frankfort by persons
connected with Governor Taylor's ad-
ministration that democratic members
Of the legislature would be arrested II
that step was necessary to secure their

BURGLARS AT EVANSTON.

Evanston, WyO., Feb. 4.-When the
clerks arrived at the store of Beeman
& Cashin company Friday morning
they found that the place had been bur-
glarized during the night. The robber
or robbers gained an entrance from the
ear. They first removed a pane of
glass from a window, then, reaching in.
they removed some nails and raised
the sash. This let them into the ship
ping room. The latter is separated
from the main store by iron doors.
These they pried open slightly and,
with some thin instrument. raised the
latch which holds the doors inside.
They broke open two money draw
ers, from which they secured SLY in
cash. They also took nine new revoI-
vers Of various patterns, all good guns,
from the showcase. No other goods
of any kind were taken, and the large
safe in the Office was not disturbed. Il
is surmised that the party is preparing
for more desperate chances and bigger
game elsewhere. There is at the pres
ent writing no clue to the robbers.
