Fulness in the Skirts.

The effect of fulness in the skirts
is to be seen in woolen gown which
is made with side pleats about an
inch wide laid up to the waist all
around the skirt and carried almost
to the lower edge. Some of the wash
gowns are also made in this way.
Many of the gowns blouse consider
ably'in the front. In English separate
waists the belts have a decided incline
down in the front. In some the belts
are made with a decided point, others
are full and merely drawn down, and
some little ribbons, while they are
dsawn down a little in front, are
fastened at one side with small bow.

NEW YORK AROUSED.
Will Hold Ringing Pro-Boer Meet
ing Tonight.

New York, March 1.-THE arrange
ments for the big pro-Boer mass meet
ing to be held at Cooper Union tonight
were practically completed last night
at a meeting of the committee held at
the Morton House.
Ex-Judge George NJ. Van Hoesen will
preside and among the speakers will be
Montague White. John E. Milholland,
William AIcA doc, hubert B. Roosevelt,
John De viii Warner and P. LOuten
Van Vessels.
Mr. Van Vessels is a brother of the
speaker OF the assembly of the Orange
Free State. According to the pro
gramme Mr.. White will confine himself
to a clear explanation of the South Al
rican situation and the other speak
ers will appeal to the audience for
an expression of the peoples desire
for Intervention by the United States.
A committee was appointed to take up
collection during the meeting.
The question of what resolutions
shall be offered during the morning
called for much discussion. The reSO-
luton offered by Mr.. Sulzer to congress
was suggested as a model. but John E.
Milholland, in a speech that reused the
enthusiasm of the committeeman, ar
gued for stronger resolutions. He asked
that the president be called upon to
make a firm demand for an ending by
peaceful means of the conflict. In re-
ply to the conserva tive objections of
another speaker, who feared that any
demand on the part of this country
would occasion conflict with England
Mr. Milholland said:
There will be no war. But the way
to get peace out of John Bull is to pre-
pare for the other thing. The wisdom
of the American people is greater than
that of any administration and when
the people express their will it will be
carried out and carried out successful
ly."
Another bigger meeting is being
planned to take place in the Madison

OUR ARMORED VESSELS
To Do Service in the Tropics Must Be
Sheathed With Copper.

Washington, March 14.-Secretary Long
will send to congress today the report of
Rear Admiral Hichborn, chief construc-
tor of the navy, recommending that the
batleships and armored cruisers already
authorized be sheathed and coppered. He
will also. send the dissenting report of
the other members of the board of con-
struction-
Admiral Hichborn declares sheathing is
necessary, especially in view of the colon
ial acquisitions of the United States and
the greater prospect of tropical service.
Replying to Rear Admiral Simpsons 5
criticism, he quotes a report from Naval
Constructor GillmOr. who says that sew
era1 ship-building firms in England are
sheathing armored and protected cruisers
for the British government. Mr.. GillmOr
takes issue with the statement made by
the majority of the board of construction
that only few vessels have been sheath
ed in the last ten years.

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING.
Unknown WomanVictim ofan Assault
in Chicago.

Chicago. March IA woman prob
ably fatally wounded was brought to
the county hospital in a carriage early
today and before the attendants had
learned anything about the case her
escort had driven away. She told the
physicians that her name was Mrs
Brown and then sank into unconscious
ness. She is suffering from a bullet
wound in the breast
The police were at once notified, but
in no station in the city had a shooting
been reported and the affair is enveloped
in mystery. The victim is well dressed
and is about so years old. The doctors
have slight hopes that she will regain
consciousness.
Later it was learned that a woman
had called at the Office of a physician
on Halstead street for treatment about
o'clock last night. She told the doctor
that she had been shot while she was
walking on Van Buren street near Hal
stead. When questioned further she
refused to talk. An examination show
ed that the bullet had penetrated the
right lung. She remained in the ply
sicians office until midnight In the
meantime another doctor had been call
ed in but as both speak but little Eng
lish the detectives investigating the
case could elicit scarcely anything more
from them
At midnight the woman was assisted
into carriage and was driven away in
the company of man. The physicians
did not learn who he was.

DISCUSSES PARKS.
Secretary of American Labor Union
Wants Money Expended in
the City.
To the Editor of the State Journal:

To the Editor of the State Journal
A few days since a letter appeared in
one of the daily papers signed by one
of the park commissioners that needs
answering by some member of the
American Labor Union, stating the
stand that has been taken by that
body.
The A L. U. for the past year has
been urging the improving, at once, of
the city park, for the reason that it IS
the most accessible playground for the
laboring class of our population. We,
as a body, are willing to work for the
issuing of bonds to the amount Of $50
900 for the acquiring of land for park
purposes, and the improving of the
same, but we are not willing to do so if
the major part of that amount is to be
expended in the purchase of Martins
hill, or any other outlying tract of land,
for the reason that such tracts would
not be accessible to any but those able
to own or hire a vehicle to take them
there. In our city of 10000 inhabitants
a large majority are not able to stand
that expense, therefore we stand
squarely for the purchase and improve
ment of any land centrally located large
enough to make a place OF beauty and a
breathing place for our overworkef
bread winners. whether they are en-
ployed in office, store, shop or out of
doors. There is but one day in which
they can take an outing as a relaxation
to their overWorked nerves, and we feel
that it is unjust to ask them to go to
any considerable distance to get the
benefit derived from the recreation and
quiet to be found in d beautiful park.
Buy, if you please. the proprty be-
tween Thirteenth and Fifteenth streets,
but in the first place put forth all your
efforts in the beautifying of the city
park Build a sea wall from bridge to
bridge. and on the top of the same
build a graVeled walk, wide enough to
accommodate all pedestrians and baby
carriages, and then continue in the good
work till the park will become a place
of beauty and viii be sought by thou
sands on every hot summer day.
This is what the American Labor
Union is seeking to accomplish, and
when the park commission declares the
above to be its proposed action, then
will the $50 voters, members of the A
L. u, work as one man for the carry
ing of the proposition to vote $4,000
for their use.
Pioneer Council No. 1 holds an open
meeting at their hail. No. rs East Sew
enth street on Friday evening, March
16 for the discussion of the park ques-
ton. to which the public is invited. The
invitation is especially directed to the
park commission, for it is desired that
they be present to give US some of their
ideas of what their action will be when
the money is placed in their hands.
