this season, and the gowns which the
late arrivals from Paris have brought
with them seemingly show every
variety. This. variety is seen princi-
pally in the sleeves to the pretty
muslin gowns, but of them all the
under sleeve or the divided sleeve
is the one that prevails to the great
est extent. What I consider the
homeliest sleeve of all the lot that l
have seen-and it seems that 1 must
have seen all that there are-is

But to leave the tailor-mades for
time we will go to the noticeable
decline of the bolero. One seldom
sees these once popular garments
now, but in their place has come
the "mess" jacket. These are made
of the taffetas that promised to be
so popular earlier in the season.
They are made high in the neck, with
little point behind. When made of
military red or blue silk, and
trimmed with gold buttons and a
little gold braid, they look decidedly
smart when worn with the summer
muslins.

there is no simplicity in the summer
styles. Last year we saw embroider.

ton when compared with the elabo-

fact everything in sight points to the
tendency of the greatest extrava-
gance in dress. Lace is used lavish
ly, but even lace, to meet the require
ments of the eXtravagant season,
must have some superimposed dec
grafton. I see it embroidered in
various ways, one of which is the
application of artificial flower pet
ais, roses being by far the favorite.
For this the petals are detached from

interest. In addition to these there
are two small loans for 6 600, 900
each. Al of these loans are guaran-
teed by the imperial customs, the only
really reliable revenue that China has.
The revenue of China amounts to
but about $4,000, GOO annually. OF
this more than SIS, Zoo. eco is needed to
pay the interest on the present in
debtedness, to say nothing of aceum-
ulating a surplus with which to pay
the principal as it falls due. With
such conditions it would seem to be
impossible for China to load herself
with any further financial burden if
she ever expects to pay it.
But while these figures give an idea
of China's financial condition to-day,
they do not represent possibilities.
There are many sources of revenue
open to the imperial government from
which it is drawing practically moth
ing. Among these are the likin and
land tax. In fact, it is estimated that
not more than one-fifth of the legit-
innate taxation of the country ever
reaches the imperial Golfers, and that
80 per cent. of the revenues are eaten
up by the machinery of collection, or
in American slang, Doodle"
The people of China are not heavily
taxed. Figuring the tax per capita.

by the government as are many of the
impoverished people of Europe. and

Sir Robert Hart and his corps of
English and American assistants have
demonstrated what is possible with
the revenues of China, just as English
officials in Egypt have demonstrated
the possibilities of financial rejuvena-
tio1 of that country. Twenty years
ago China had not an asset upon
which she could borrow, and to-day
her only available one is her marine
customs under the able administration
of Sir Robert Hart.
For centuries China has been bIed
by her officials. She pays these Off
Gals but the barest pittance for sal
aries and then demands of them that
they must keep up appearances and
ceremonies that are extremely costly.

newspapers in different parts of the
country combine in the purchase of ex-
pensive matter. He the originator,
also of the now common idea of using
syndicate pictures in advertising. He

tant photo-engraving processes.
The man has always wanted to devote
his entire time to writing. 1t is the
dream of men of action. 1 once knew
New York newspaper editor whose
ambition was to knock off work and
study Russian; Bachelors is to go
into the woods somewhere and write
poems and stories.
Bachelor was raised in northern
New York-worked on farms there. at
tended district schools, talked with the
old knotty-muscled farmers. He was
like photograph, though he didn't
know it then. He remembered the
quaint phrases; 20 years after he
reached the city, with few dollars in
his pocket to seek his fortune, he re-
membered with love the good. homely
old-country talk, and set it down. But
this book was in his mind, and partly in
writing, before David Harum" was
ever heard of.
There are few men in the ecountry SO
we'll known to newspaper makers as
Bachelor. though newspaper readers
know less of him. He has travelled the
continent from San Francisco to Bos-
ton many times; and as he has sunny
smile, and big broad shoulders, and a
fine skull, and hair the color of pale
molasses candy; and as he tells good
stories and likes good things to eat,
nobody who ever sees him forgets him.
Stranger things have happened than
that this hustling business man should
write a successful novel. Busy men

Her Revenues Are Either Filtered or Mortgaged,

CAN CHINA pay in the coin of the
IL world for the damage she has
done during the past few weeks :?
A wise man would scarcely undertake
to estimate the demands that will be
made upon the empire by the foreign
powers should a financial settlement
oe desired. Even the present debt of
China, large as it seems to the i'm
poyerished empire, would be but a
trifle of the sum that would be de-
manded as compensation by the pow
ers for the damage done them and
theirs.
China is to-day in debt to the
| amount of about $3.50, 200, OCO. To any
of the world powers of the west that
would seem comparatively small, but
| to China it is more of load than she
can conveniently carry. Among the
| smpire's liabilities there are loans
raised in England, Germany, France
| and Russia. There was 1O,0O0, 600 taels
| borrowed of England in 1894 which
China undertook to pay in 90 years,
| and which is drawing seven per cent
interest. In 1895 another 6 ,OO0, 0OO
| was raised in London, to be paid in
| 20 years, and this is drawing interest
at the rate of six per cent. During
| the same year there was a Russo
French loan raised of 16,OO0, 600, to
be paid in SO years, anu which bears
four per cent. interest. In 1896 an
Anglo-German loan was raised OF

Office in China. and this, together with
their expenditures while in Office, and
retiring allowance when etheir pc
Rod of Office holding is over, must all
come out of the government funds.
1t is believed that every official, from
the great viceroys down to the lowest
of the government official employees,
has a hand in the game of robbery
that is going on constantly which de-
prives the government of that which
it has a right to expect.
If the powers levy money indem-
nifty on China for the mischief aed
damage of the past few weeks, they
will have to provide the means of coll
lecting it for China. The resources,
are there, but it will take thorough
overhauling of the system of govern
ment to produce results. The mineral
rights alone would in time pay prac--
tically all that the powers could rea-
sonably ask. These are now the prop
erty of the government, and from
them the government has in the past
secured practically nothing. o :
But whatever method China takes
of raising the money to pay cher in
debtedness, provided, of course, that
the powers levy money indemnity,
which is doubtful, she will have to-
have outside help If she is to succeed.
The nation should not need a stronger
object lesson than that which Sir
Robert Hart has given them in his
administration of the maritime Gus
toms, but it is quite probable that it
will take threat of force to compel
China to yield to the inevitable and
accept outside assistance in the man.

here, at Trouville, at Deauville and all
the other fashionable watering
places, and are displaying to advan-
tage the latest products of the Pa
risian dressmaking establishments.
Among all these gowns nothing is
more prominent than the thin tailor
mades. For beach costumes, aside
from the piques, linens and ducks,
the thin materials made up in tailor
fashion are about all that one sees,
and they are far in the lead in point
of numbers.
These summer tailor-mades hardly
follow the exact tailor lines, for the
jacket generally tucks into the belt
in blouse fashion. but they all have
the stitched trimmings. Of the ma
terials those of cotton with the fash
ionable silk or satin surface are to
a large extent the most modish.
One of these tailor-made gowns
that was decidedly smart was of

and the fullness was just below the
knees where under there are finish
ing touches of silk miters that

of white satin, with embroidery in
fine silver braid, and three large
fancy buttons on each side.

agement of the collection of her rev.
enues.
Until something of this kind hap
pens the Chinese government,
government, will hardly be able to
raise another loan based upon her
present revenues for security. In fact
should the nation succeed in placing
another loan. it would but result in
financial embarrassment, and would
but put off the day of outside inter
ference for a short time.
Should any of the European nations
advance China the money with which
to pay the heavy indemnity she will
be called upon to pay, if she is given
the opportunity of settling for her
misdeeds upon a financial basis at all,
they would demand absolute protec-
ton for their investment, and. this.
China could not give under present
conditions, though she might attempts
to. Such attempt would but put
off the evil day of dismemberment for
short time longer, and would add
but another to the excusesof the pow
ers for the breaking up of the nations
But what if the powers should re-
fuse a money indemnity and demand
territory, and the Chinese government
go down into number of spheres Of
influence under the rule of every
power of Europe? If such a thing
should happen, who would pay thes
present Indebtedness of China, or who
would compensate the powers that do
not take part in the dismemher-
ment of the empire for the losses
they have incurred? Not only has
China an Indebtedness al the present
time under which she is staggering,
but she has as well guaranteed the
interest on railway bonds to the ex-
tent of some e7,0O0, O00 What be-
comes of this security if China is di-
vided? Splitting up the Chinese em-
pire will mean loss to the ondhold-
ers of the world of many millions Of
dollars; loss which will be felt by
every nation and every class of peo-
ple Lord Charles Beresford knew of
what he was speaking when he said
that "the division of China was not
an object to be accomplished by the
stroke of pen" 1t IS a subject that
will tax the ingenuity of the worlds
diplomats, and probably the worlds
generals. DANIEL CLEvERToN
