Scotch plaid waist this season is very
particular about the buttons on it.
They must be gilt, with Scotch

The charm of the flannel waist is in
its simplicity "A tendency to over
elaboration nearly always threatens
its attractiveness. Stitching, strap
ping and plaits are the favorite meth
DDS of trimming. The fronts OF some
of the waists are finished in clusters
of vertical tucks; others are finely
tucked all over, and still others are
arranged in box plaits. A great many
women whose dress is synonymous
with style prefer the seyerest cut in
their flannel shirt-waists, no yoke
being allowed and very little hint Of
anything like trimming. Indeed, it is

too much, but treated as ordinary
fannels are. Another class of ma
terials entirely new are the silk in
ished fiannels, which come both in
plain colors and designs.
Broadcloths are still used for shirt
waists, but women who prefer "a
lighter fabric are wearing waists OF
very fine ladies' cloth and embroid-
cred cashmere and landsdowne. The
popular polka dot in black or white
is the leading design in the embroid-
cred cashmeres, and the heur de lis in
lansdowne Shirt-waists, tailor made,
and of the pale tints in very fine
ladies' cloth, will be extremely stylish
to wear under jacket coats.
The regular polka dot patterns,
which were so fashionable last winter,
still continue popular, although newer
designs are the dots in clusters Two
colored dotted effects are shown in
black and white on gray ground,
scarlet and cream on dark green, light
blue and white on dark blue, and also
in blue, white and cid rose. The dots

waist has more real style than the
majority of more elaborate confec-
tions.
The blouse front is coming back,
but as yet it has not affected the
fashionable straight line from bust to
belt. The flannel waist, like all
Others OF the season, must give the
long wasted effect Straps OF all
kinds appear on many OF the waists,
and are frequently finished at their
pointed edges with one or three small
buttons. Several straps, beginning at
the shoulder Of a flannel shirt-waist,
are carried, three or more on each
side. part way down the waist, and
are finished with a point. The double
sleeve appears on some flannel waists,
but very much better is the bishop
sleeve, which is more suited to this
style Of waist. A new collar has made
its appearance, a turnover effect.
Shirt waists OF plain colored flannel
frequently have this turnover collar

small ones carlessly disposed, the
larger ones in the darker color and the
smaller ones in the lighter. Then
there are fiannels over the surface OF
which are scattered four large dots
arranged in a row. Another stylish
pattern has five tiny dots in clusters.
The embroidered 1annels this year
are particularly beautiful; the en-
broidery is either in wide or narrow
designs and so arranged that the waist
can be made with these vertical bands
Of embroidery alternated with clus-
tiers of fine tuck5. The embroidery
is either in white or black on solid
color grounds.
The Persian effects in fiannels are
particularly effective, some rivaling
the deep colors of the cashmere shawls
and others showing light dainty pastel
tints. Conyentionalized lotus flowers
and leaves on delicate grounds of iris,
silver green, etc. are charming, but
all the patterns initiate closely the
beautiful art and colors of the Persian
designs heretofore only produced in
costly panne satins.

Ehc American bcSuty.
All this brings back to mind the sad
case Of beautiful American girl,
Miss A., who in 1893 came to Nice,
tab, slender, beautiful, with only a
weak-willed aunt to chaperon her and

her whole fortune that she had i'm

not been at Nice month before she
developed a passion for gambling.
She never played heavily, however,
until the day she won 1000 francs
betting on the number a. The next
day she won 100000 francs on the
same number, and had all Monte
Carlo talking about the miracle.

M'KINLEY-BAER WEDDING.
1t Was the Most Elegant. From
Many Points of View, Ever Wit
messed in Pennsylvania.

Somerset, Pa, Sept. 13.-The Nc
Kinley-Baer wedding which Wednes-
day evening united the lives of Miss
Mabel Mckinley, the only child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Abner Mckinley, and
DR.. Hermas l.. Baer, was perhaps the
most elegant from many points of
view ever witnessed in this state.
President and Mrs Mckinley, the
Uncle and aunt of the bride, and 9th
er prominent people from various
parts of the United States, were pres
ent. The appointments were superb.
Col. w. c. Brown, of New York, was
master of ceremonies.
The ceremony began promptly at 8
o'clock in the drawing room of the
Mckinley residence.
President Duval, of the Florida Cen
trail & Peninsular railroad, placed his
private car at the disposal of the
bride and groom for their wedding
trip. A porter and chef will accom-
pany the car on the bridal trip, which
it is now said will extend to the Pa
cific coast, where visits will be paid
to tho two brothers of the groom,
who reside in California. and cous-
in of the bride, who lives in San
Francisco.

CONVERTS MASSACRED.
Ii Is Asserted That Between $4,000
and 10000 in the Northern Prov
inces Were Put to Death.

London, Sept. 13.-An the CORE
spondents in China are sending ter
rible stories of the wholesale mas
sacre of missionaries and native
Christians. 1t is asserted that during
July between $4,000 and 10000 con.
verts were massacred in the northern
provinces. Large numbers of mis-
sionaries are still unaccounted for
and small hope is entertained of theil
escape.
Native reports are subject to the
most careful scrutiny, with the re-
suit that, although there may be
some eXaggeration, it is impossible
to doubt that in the main they are
correct.
The horror is intensified by cOnfir-
nation of the reports that the wom-
en- are subject to unspeakable bar
barities and fortunes, being stripped
and slowly dubbed to death. This
was one of the mildest methods. The
Boxers wreaked fiendish vengeance.
The newspapers are calling loudly for
swift punishment.

PRESENCE OF MIND.
A Little BIT of BLUFF That Failed ia
Work with a Wide Awake
Man.

If there be one thing that more than an.
other admire it is the having ones wits about
one-perhaps because 1 never had mine. To
be possessed only of Pesprit d'escaliers is
simply an aggravation, writes John Paul in
Harpers Magazine.
AS illustrative of ready-witted men re-
call an incident that l have often told but
never published. Let me do that now in
justice to one that is gone.
In company with the late j. r. Osgood
once of an evening dropped in at Wallack's
old Fourteenth Street theater We could
get no seats, as there was standing room
only. At the end of the first act two or
chestra seats were vacant in front, and we
walked down and took them. Barely were
we seated when two gentlemanly-lookin
young men came down the aisle and adj
dressed me.
''Beg pardon, but have you checks Cor
those seats?"
l was on the point of rising, when Osgood
replied: mo. Have you"
They hadn't. 1t was merely bit of SUI
preme bluff. But how few would have had
the readiness to meet and parry it.

RAPIDLY DISPOSED OF.
All Attempts at Burying the Dead
at Galveston Have Been Ut
terIy Abandoned.

Houston, Tex, Sept. 13.-All at
tempts at burying the dead have been
utterly abandoned, and bodies are
now being disposed of in the swiftest
manner possible Scores of them were
buried Wednesday, and hundreds
were taken out to sea and thrown
overheard. The safety of the living
is now the paramount question, and
nothing that will tend to prevent the
outbreak of an awful pestilence is
being neglected.
Wednesday morning it was found
that large numbers of the bodies
which had been previously thrown in
the bay were washed back upon the
shore, and the situation was thus rem
dered worse than before they were
first laden in the barges and thrown
into the water.
Loss of Life VIII Never Be Known.
1t will now never be known how
many have lost their lives in this aw-
full catastrophe. Estimates run all
the way from 1000 to 10000. The for
mer figure is given by Lieut.. Perry,
an aide on Gen. McKibben's staff, who
arrived in Houston Wednesday even
ing from Galveston. He said that
large numbers of people had been
washed out to sea and probably never
would be heard from again. How
many of these there were it is be-
yond the power of those now in Gal
weston to estimate with any accura-
cy. The number of dead bodies along
the shore, according to Lieut.. Perry,
has been somewhat Overestimated,
and he says that 1000 is a conserva-
tive estimate. His estimate is laughed
at by a number of men who have
been in Galveston and returned ear
iier in the week, they claiming that
at least $500 bodies were buried or
carried out to sea in barges before
Lieut.. Perry arrived. No list of the
dead has been kept, and it will be
utterly impossible to formulate one
from now on.

STORM ON LAKE ERIE.
The Most Disastrous in Many Years
shipping Disasters the Re-
suit of the Gale.

Cleveland, o., Sept. 13.-The tail
end of the West Indian hurricane,
which swept over Lake Erie Tuesday
night, proves to have been the most
disastrous storm that has visited this
section in several years. The wind
at one time attained a velocity of GO
miles an hour, and it was then blow
ing directly from the west, having
practically a clear sweep of the whole
lake. Dispatches Wednesday night
begin to tell of the shipping disas-
tiers that resulted from the gale. At
least two vessels were sunk, carry
ing down with them several persons,
and a number Of other vessels have
reached port in badly damaged con-
dition.
The John B. Lyon, 255 foot steam
er, owned by j. c. Gilchrist, of this
city, foundered about five miles off
Conneaut, o., and all but two of her
crew of 10 were lost. The schooner
Dundee sank about Is miles off this
port, and the cook, a woman, was
drowned, the master and crew escap-
ing on a raft.
The steamer City of Erie, with 300
passengers aboard, left Buffalo at Z
o'clock Tuesday evening. \ moderate
wind was blowing at the time. When
off the port of COnneaut the steamer
was struck by the terrific westerly
gale that had begun blowing. She
encountered tidal wave which went
clear over the bulwarks, smashing
some of the upper works. The en-
CINE was slowed down and the steam
er headed for the Canadian shore for
safety. She arrived here at o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, ten hours late,
with all her passengers safe.
The steamer Nimick left this port
Tuesday evening, but was unable to
buffet the sea. She was badly bat
tered, but a tug finally brought her
back to port. a deck hand named
Frank Sloan was badly hurt
The steamer Lyons, which was sunk
off COnneaut, was valued at 100000.
Several other vessels were wrecked.

ALONG THE GULF COAST.
Great Damage Done to Property for
Several Hundred Miles, With
Much Loss of Life.

Gov. Sayers Wednesday began re-
ceiving reports from various points
along the gulf coast which would in
1icate that there has been great prop
arty damage done for several hundred
miles, and that the list of Galveston
fatalities and suffering will be large
ly augmented. Down the coast from
Galveston the town of Dickinson was
laid waste and five persons killed
The towns of Alvin, Alta Iona, Texas
City and Brookshire are wrecked and
hundreds are destitute. Richmond is
so badly demolished that it will re-
luire weeks to clear the town. Mis-
souri, City and Stafford, just opposite,
were entirely demolished, and the few
remaining people at these places have
no homes to cover their heads. Bay
City, in MatagOrda county, is report
ed wrecked, with much loss of life,
though no official report has been
made to that effect. Patton. Roll
over Bolivar Point, Quintana. Sugar
land, Belleville, Wharton, Fairview.
Missouri City, Sartartia, Arcola and
El Campo are all reported heavy suf-
ferers both in point of property de-
strOyed and lives lost.
Railroads Badly Damaged.
Owing to the fact that telegraph
service is still badly crippled, Gov.
Sayers can not ascertain the exact
number of dead at the points named.
but 1T is approXimated at 500.
Reports reaching the governor
show that the railroads, telegraph
and telephone companies have suf-
fered an immense loss by the storm.
The governor was informed Wednes-
day that quite 4 number of tugs
from New Orleans and other available
points had either arrived or were en-
route to Galveston, and that by Sat
urday the transportation problem
would be solved so far as getting peo-
pie from the island to the mainland
was concerned.
Hundreds have applied to Gov
Savers for permits to go to Galveston
but he refused 'all, saying that there
were already too many people there
and in eases of emergency the local
managers of the relief corps were
better able TO act on their discretion
than be dictated to by him.
