FASHIONS IN Wells.

Considering the limitations Of the
diminutive face veil, there is nothing
else in which the season especially eX-
GELS in variety and novelty of design
From the most shadOwy spider web
nets to a rather fantastic decoration OF
birds and butterflies, bats and beetles,
there is, as it would seem, every con-
Ceivable kind and condition, says the
New Yory Sun. Telltale crows feet
and trivial defects in the complexion
disappear like magic behind the be-
coming veil, which, however, must be
selected with great care. 1t is the
mesh which makes or mars the be-
coming effect quite as much as the
ornamentation, and then apart from
the qualifications as an improving
accessory Of dress there is always the
question Of choosing the tasteful veil
rather than the striking one which
proclaims itself loudly at distance
The special novelty most generally
worn in Paris is the ramage veil, with
chenille dots scattered over the net in
dainty scroll design, the dots vary
ing little in size This veil comes in
black and the pastel cOlors, especially
designed for the very bright hats
which will be worn later on. For
those who rejoice in the extreme

novelty IN all matters of dress there is
line net dotted over with a flight of
shadowy swallows in graduated sizes,
the very tiny one at the top, and there
are dainty nets with round and oblong
velvet spots arranged in the form OF a
fly; nets with two and three threaded
square meshes thickly covered with
pin points of chenille put in by hand.
and every sort of fancy net of spider
web inenesS without any dot at all
The most fantastic novelty among the
new wells is the bat design woven in
on the edge, the head directly in
front and the wings spreading out at
either side of the face; butterflies, too,
are disposed of in the same manner
The veil which speaks the loudest and
manifests itself at the longest distance
has a rather large square mesh made
OF an unusually heavy silk thread and
at each crossing there is a little circle
instead Of dot. Another veil which
may rank with this is white net
dotted over with velvet spots in vary
Ing sizes, the largest fully the size Of
five cent piece. Some of the white
nets are very tasteful however. and es-
pecially desirable for summer wear
Double wells are still worn, being es-
pecially desirable for driving in the
country

REBUILDING THE THFATEI
FRANCAIS.

Rumors were recently circulated to
the effect that the reconstruction of the
Theater Francois could not be finished
before the beginning of the new cen
fury. Some people even went so far as
to throw out jOcOSe or satirical hints
as to the slow progress Of the works
and to compare it with the snail-like
pace Of the rebuilders of the Opera
Comique, who took long years to set
The second lyric playhouse ready for
the entertainment of the public. Thee
need, however, be no comparison be-
tween the recOnstructive works in con-
nection with the Theater Francois and
those of the Opera Comique, which
were facetiously described as having
been int-usted to a solitary mason.
The rebuilding of the Theater Francois
is proceeding apace, but it is true that
the playhouse will not be ready by the
date first specified by the contractors
namely, July IA. Everything, it is ex-
pected, will be ready in the middle OF
August. The new stage is nearly COM
pleted and the ceiling is about to be
decorated Professionally by scene
painter. Until August, therefore. ex
position visitors will be debarred from
seeing the interior of the famous Old
house OF Moliere.-Paris Correspond

Dispatch Comes Supposedly
From Minister Conger.
London Doubts Authenticity
==Hay Urges Aid.

Washin g-on, July 21-Like fash o.
sunlight out OF dark sky came the ir-
telligence yesterday that United States
Minister Conger had sent a cipher
cablegram from Pekin to the state de-
partment making known that two
DAYS ago he was all right, and that the
foreigners were fighting for their
sefety. The Chinese minister, WI
Ting Fang, received the message.
Within an hour the report was flashed
throughout the world. The dispatch
was in reply to Secretary Hays cable
inquiry to Minister Conger of the 11th,
and as both messages were in the
American cipher code they are re-
garded by the officials as above sus-
picion of having been tempered with
in course of transmission through
Chinese channels. WI promptly COM
municated the dispatch to the state de-
partment, where a translation was
made from the cipher figures and an
impromptu cabinets conference wa
held. The most welcome feature of the
message was it's assurances that the
American minister himself was alive
two days ago; but with this cheering
news came the ominous statement that
the besieged foreigners were in the
British legation under continued shot
and shell from the Chinese troops, and
that only quick relief could avert a
general massacre.
The consultation brought about no
pronounced change of policy, for it was
felt that already every energy had been
bent toward meeting the situation, and
that there was absolutely nothing
more that could be done. Secretary
Hay transmitted the message to all our
ambassadors and ministers abroad,
with instructions to lay it before the
respective governments to which they
We're accredited urging upon them the
necessity of cooperation for the imme-
diate relief of the foreigners at Pekin.
The message was also sent to Admiral
Remey, conveying intelligence of the
DESPERATE situ9 ton n 0ekin, and in
struc rg him to use and urge every
possible endeavor for relief" Secre-
tary Root sent a similar notification to
Col. Coolidge, the senior American Of
ficer ashore at Tientsin. 1t was real
lied that the land and naval forces of
the United States now in China could
not, single handed, push on to Pekin,
and the other powers accordingly were
appealed to.
Later in the day several messages
were received from United States Con-
sui Fowler, at Chefoo, all strongly
confrmatory Of the news that the for
eigners were alive. The fact that the
cablegram from Minister Conger was
given scant credence in London official
circles had no dampening effect on the
optimism Of administration officials.
The weight of evidence in the dispatch
was in favor of it's commences. Be
sides, there were several strongly cor
roborative dispatches from Consul
Goodnow and Consul Fowler. The fact
that Conger mentioned the lombard
nent of the British legation was con-
sidered good evidence that the message
was written subsequent to the 18th as
the best information here is that the
bombardment Of the legations did not
begin prior to that date.
