comfort in that little. except that
the beleaguered garrison of Lady

learned of Buffers second reverse,

that General Buffers army is capa-

talk of fresh movement does not
inspire hope. 1t is not true that

TRAINED EUROPEAN SOLDIERS.

London, Feb. 1.-The actual
news from South Africa is of little
interest. General Buller maintains
silence as to his future movements,
but it is generally supposed he is
maturing another attempt to reach
Ladysmith.
A letter appears today from a
Hanoverian officer formerly of the
Twenty-second German infantry,
but now among the military ad-
visers of the Beers, which says that
nearly 10000 trained European
soldiers, including quite 300 Of
fcers, are among the Beers. Re-
ferring to the military situation at
Ladysmith, the officers say:
Owing to the strength of our
position on a circle of hills like
Sedan, we cannot be brushed aside
except by a relief column outnum'
bering us two to one."

DR.. Leyds' popularity in Berlin
seems to be worrying the London
papers. He is to hold another
conference with Count Won Buelow,
the German foreign minister.
The alarm over the alleged de-
fenselessness of the British Isles
increases. The London Daily
Telegraph publishes a dispatch
from Portsmouth, saying:
In the naval circles of Ports
mouth there is strong impression
that before long the government
will mobilize the reserve squadron
and commission several cruisers to
be added to it. This impression
is borne out by the fact that the
naval officers who are unemployed
have been notified to hold them.

That the channel squadron

of exciting war news, the nation
and the newspapers have had time
to discover the utter lack of rela-
ton existing between the feeling
of the people and the temper of
the government as demonstrated
in parliament, where instead OF re-
lieving the grave anxiety of the
country by the declaration of meas
ures it is proposed to take in be-
half of the national safety, the
ministers are continuing to DEM
onstrate their inability to grasp
the situation, by beating the
air with recriminations, self accus-
atory defense and chickering's as to
the degree of responsibility attach
able to the respective departments
Of the government. The disgust,
almost despair, noticeable on all
sides, is voiced by the ultra-minis-
terial organ, the Globe, which
says:
The heart of the empire seems
paralyzed, while its extremities are
in full vigor. Thus far only one
statesman in the front rank has
struck the right note and that is
Lord Roseberry."

Smallpox at ChickaSha

DR.. J. E. Stinson, chairman of
the Chickasha board of health, has
written letter stating the actual
conditions in that place. Among
other things he says: l have been,
since the development of the first
cases here, thoroughly conversant
with the number of cases, their
severity, and have kept track with
every suspect reported personally.
We have had eight cases of small
pox up to date, and we have one
suspect now which l am sure will
develop the disease later on. Of
these cases two have died, three
are now ready for discharge, cured,
and three have more or less we'll
marked cases. OF the three last
mentioned, two have either vario-
loid or discreet smallpox, while the
third has, | fear, the continent
form of the disease.
OF the eight cases not one has de-
veloped, the disease as the result of
infection or contagion from a rail
road camp-the railroad here, but
the trouble has been contracted by
most careless exposure at the pest
camp by fools who claimed that the
trouble was not smallpox.

green in it, l don't know what it ia
called by the modistes. as each one
seems to have different name for it.
Anyway Mrs. Jordan Mott, Jr., has a
very smart frock Of it, and so has Miss
Rita Kernochan.
Mrs. Motifs gown has a bolero ar.
rangement that is tucked in very new
way. The tucks are very narrow and
start at the shoulder, running down to-
ward the waist line. growing always
beautifully less. until they disappear
entirely, an inch or so above the waist
line, leaving. by some mysterious meth
cd, perfectly fiat, plain line about the
waist. This vanishing tuck" idea is re-
peated on the skirt; 40, while the skirt
is quite plain just around the hips, from
there the shallow tucks appear and
deepen as they reach the bottom OF tie
skirt. until it falls in ample fullnese
about the feet.
Miss Kernochan's gown is more elab-
crate and has design of big roses cut
out of the cloth and appliqued again to
the cloth. This design runs up either
side of the skirt. giving the effect OF an
under petticoat Of cloth. The top Of
the bodice and the sleeves are also
formed Of this embroidery.
Shallow hoods are to be much worn
by us this season.
This very quaint and pretty fashion
was explointed last year on the new
frocks in Paris, but did not reach US un-
til too late to be much worn. Mrs. Og-
den Mills is one OF the few women who
adapted the shallow hood to a cloth
gown.
The gown which Mrs. Mills is now
wearing is in violet cloth, and the skirt
is plain, with the exception Of few
we'll disposed pleats. The bolero fits
loosely to the back, and comes just to
the waist line. In the front it is con.
siderably longer. With the bolero ap-
pears the shallow hood, or capucho in
dressmaker's parlance.
The capucho is not an easy thing to
wear successfully on any frock. though
Mrs. Mills looks very smart in her little
gown. 1t is very becoming when worn
as an adjunct to the semi.decollete
gown for little dinners and the play in
the spring or summer. For this it was
designed and worn last year in Paris
with so much success.-Town Topics.

PAID A FREAK BET.

Miss Kittie Brossart. who is employed
in the office of publishing firm at
Tenth and Olive streets, created sem
sation on Olive street yesterday fore
noon while complying with the condi-
tions of the losing end of an election
wager. Staid business men saw good
hooking young woman marching in Olive
street about $3.50 o'clock, escorted by a
negro and carrying aloft a banner which
read
I'm Sorry I'm Democrat; Bryan Is
Dead to the World.
But the young woman was a game
loser, and when she had complied with
her agreement she was surrounded by a
mob of women and boys, yelling and
pushing, from whom she was extremely
happy to make her escape.
In the office in which the young wo-
man is employed are a number of young
women who. during the ante-election
days, spent their luncheon hour in heat
ed political argument. Miss Brossart
\ acknowledges to democratic partiaities
while most of her companions supported
Mckinley. So did the treasurer of the
company. When verbal arguments
failed to satisfy the debaters, they fell
back upon wagers of gloves and candy
These We're too mild for Miss Rrossant,
and with H. E. Nichols, a republican,
she agreed that if Bryan was elected he
was to walk to the postoffice, escorting
colcred woman and bearing a banner
to be prepared for him. Should McKin-
ley Win, the young woman was to make
the trip with the office porter as an
escort.
Yesterday Miss Brossart announced
Iherself as willing to pay her bet, and,
followed by a procession of gigglins,
laughing office fellows. she started to the
2postoffice at $50 o'clock. The trip was
rtoo much for ,tihe gravity Of ST Clark, the
young woman's escort, and his mouth
was spread from ear to ear most of the
"trip. At the postoffice the young wo-
man turned and retraced her steps, still

FLORIDA ORANGES.

The freezes of 1894 and 1895 killed most
of Florda's orange trees down to the
roots, but did not kill the roots. and
sprouts since 1895 have grown into bear
ing trees. So general is this fact that
Florida's orange crop this winter Is ex-
pected to be about 100000 boxes, and
will be twice as much next year. There
is no orange equal to the Florida orange
in flavor and deliciousness, so that it
commands a good price. This years
crop will bring, it is believed, about rs
a box. In this case, the profit may be
as much as in 1894. when the crop was
5000, 900 boxes. California oranges are
good, but the Florida orange is better.
According to the Louisville Courier
Journal, "the Florida orange is the queen
of fruits. Pone de Leon searched the pen
insula over for the tabled fountain OF
youth without success. but wiser man
would have been content with the first
orange grove. The tropics produce moth
ing else so delicious, so refreshing, so
pleasing to the eye, SO seductive to the
nostrils and SO ravishing to the gtaste.'

LABELS FOR EVERYTHING.
How a Clever Woman Tanned a Cap

II dare say that there isn't a woman
on earth who hasn't theory on the

who was any worse for little scientific
handling now and then. If were in the

tain senator's daughter, who has set an
example managing wives might follow
with profit. She has husband, this SEN
ator's daughter, who is disposed to be
critical. Most of his friends are men OF
great wealth, who live extremely well
and association with them has made
him somewhat hard to please in the
matter of cooking. For some time the
tendency has been growing on him.
Scarcely meal at his home table passed
without criticism from him.
What is this meant for?" he would
ask after testing an entree his wife had
racked her brain to think up.
What on earth is this?' he would say
when dessert came on.
us this supposed to be a salad?" he
would inquire sarcastically when the
lettuce was served. His wife stood it as
long as she could. One evening he came
home in particularly captious humor.

wit. They went in to dinner. The soup
