Worn with a plain sailor hat and ordinary gingham skirt, with plain satin tie this is a severe every day costume. But let the wearer select charming front of satin, lace or muslin; let her put on an elegant straw hat of-say- tho shade of her en-tout-as and of her silk pettcoat and she is fit for almost any country occasion short of an important visit, a flower show or a garden party society functions which call for our light est muslins our prettiest silks.

Gave Million 10 American Freedmen
From the St. James Gazette.

From the St. James Gazette.
 MT. A. Albright, of Birmingham, who has just died in Chelsea, and was well-known chemical manufacturer in Birmingham. made special study of American politics and in the great civil war sided with the North. His sympathy took a practical shape, for at the conclusion of the war in 1866 he was mainly instrumental in collect ing f200,000 in money and gifts for distrfbu- ton among the freedmen. All his life, in- deed, be was a keen supporter of the move ment for the abolition of slavery-in our own colonies, in the United States, and in zanzibar-indeed, all the world over, wher- ever slavery existed-and he never lost an opportunity of advancing the cause. An other instance of his iarge-heartedness was afforded in 1871 at the conclusion of the Franco-German war In that year he spent several weeks in Paris distributing seeds and other necessaries ,and during this visit his knowledge of French and German stood him in good stead.

Paris, July 27.-It has been positively chilly here when you consider that the Goddess of Summer is accustomed to de- mand her homage of discomfort and dis content. Fans have stepped into the back ground, except as coquettish toys, and the parasol has been carried as a picturesque addition to the toilette. Cool breezes have blown from the Seine, and the Eiffel Tower, with its pretty balconies, has been quite the coolest spot this side of Norway, where, by the way, many of the fashionable people have gone for the month.
 Incited to fresh effort by the weather and the throngs of well attired folk the rulers of fashion have gone on devising and inventing, scheming and planning un- til they have actually brought forth in mid

Has Survived Many Shocks

From Harper's Weekly.
 Before discussing what may be the terri torial limits of spheres of influence or areas of control it is well to bear in mind several influences that will tend to keep China in tact.
 First, she has survived many other shocks, some of which were as severe as this, notably the brief wars with Japan, France and England, and former rebellions. Second, the powers of Europe and Japan are keenly jealous of each other and will admit of no division that is not satisfac- i tory. They may even become engaged in International war and China be the least sufferer. Third, the United States, which in way holds the key to the moral sit uation, is opposed to any alienation of ter ritory, while Great Britain and Japan main tain the same attitude. Fourth. there is a large element of very able men in China, despite common opinion to the contrary, that have sufficient statesmanlike qualities to govern China wisely and successfully. These would be supported by a considera- ble part of the population that is ready to take active interest in public affairs if there be no danger of political exile or punishment. Who can doubt the ability of
 such men, for instance, the eminent
 Chinese Minister Washington to take the lead in guiding China out of her present difficulties? Fifth, it will be found that China'S particular weakness in the present trouble is the lack of national police, or of organized forces of law and order such as a well-trained army. If she had possessed even a small, trustworthy, well-diseiplined force under foreign officers, the present
 riots could have been put down at the moment and place of inception. The rest of the world would hardly have noticed the disturbance.

summer modes and fancies, fads and rea1i- ties that are new and pretty and some of them very commendable.
 Perhaps the greatest change is in the sleeves which have been transformed to give a renewed lease of life to the bolero and the Etou.
 Picturesque "Frondeuse" sleeves are made to reach above the elbow, and are turned up with a iaunty rever whence comes a puff of lace to imprison the elbow, and iabot or friu of lace, narrow at the bend of the elbow and lengthening'gr gradually into a deep frill. This is the smartest sleeve of all. It is quite feasible for outdoor wear with a long ruffied suede glove. but there are endless other varieties. THE NEW SLEEVE.
 The most popular, perhaps. will be the plain sleeve cut away q good deal below the elbow and finished with a puff and fiounce of transparent lace The bell sleeve is being successfully revived It is made plain or finely kilted, and opens on an under-seeve of white muslin or piece lace, gathered into wristet or band of black velvet. Sleeves tucked lengthwise have the fulness escaping at the elbow into a puff, which goes back into its former tucked condition as far as the wrist. where it spreads into the funnel-shaped cuff. The great art in the very long sleeves is to make them as close-fittng glove at the wrist, allowing the ''funnel' to spread out like the retals of lily round the hand itself.
 The "mitane'' sleeve fits the arm closely, and comes over the hand to form a lace mitten. This sleeve Is often made to droop at the shoulder, showing the top of the arm.
 In tea gowns, faneiful sleeves have full scope; three soft puffs and a frll of lace or a ruf1ed elbow sleeve with deep fall of lace are much seen. The elbow sleeve, however, does not always imply a friIl or a ruftle, it is often finished off with a sim pie rever, drapery, or a garter" of black velvet ribbon tied in g bow
 We also have a sleeve which is of trans parent lace or peated silk muslin from elbow to waist. and another. not quite so new. showing transparent lace top, whence the material Is softly draped A more matronly style has a wide bow of lace and ribbon tied across the elbow.
 Some of the boleros are the smartest things imaginable. They are made of bias shaped pieces of silk Your correspondent has just seen one in black glace silk Every piece was edged with a tiny embroidery of black chenille and the elbow sleeves, em- broidered with chenille, were finished off with garters of black velvet ribbon. This was useful little garment, destined to be worn with sleeveless blouses of lace or | chiffon.
 Mrs Ambassador Porter recently wore one which could not be equalled for smart ness It was of black glace silk tucked front and back the most brilliant white satin lining gieaming at the wrists, the collar and at the lapes which were over laid with guipure lace.
 White cloth is immensely worn so are fancy silks. The general tendency Is to- wards the large cape collars of 130 They are made in white moire, double or single,

 Charles Dudley Warner represents the camel as remarking: There are three Of us-me and the date palm and the pyra- mid: the rest are modern" But, according to Professor J. P. Mahaffy, the camel is mistaken; the three he mentions are not the only veritable antiques. In letter to the London Atheneum he shows that the name Smith goes back well nigh to the dawn of time. Among the yet unpublished curiosities of the petri papyri is list Of names connected with the manufacture Of beer in Egypt Writing of these the pro- lessor says:
 sThere is one which appears regularly in the same form and of which we can give no further explanation. It is the name or Suith-unmistakably written Smith We have never found anything like it before, and 1t is surely worth telling the many dis tinguished bearers of the name that there was a man known as Smith in the twen- tieth year of the third Ptslemy, 2H B. C., and that he was occupied in brewing beer or in selling it. Is there any other English name comparable to this in antiquity?
 The next time the Smith family has one of its reunions it may decide to send commission to Egypt for the purpose of continuing the investigations which Fro lessor Mahaffy has so promisingly begun. Perhaps the grave of the original Smith which would be only less interesting than the grave of Adam on which Mark Twain shed some filial tears-will yet be diScov- cred

 It is during the holiday period that "ehiffons'' are so useful, as they give dressy character to the plainest garb when properly chosen "Chiffons'' Is a French term applied to the dainty triaes which adorn, yet are not strict ''necessaries' of toilette.

The smartest coats have them revers, coming we'll over the shoulders and fast ened with links and chains They also grace many of the boleros which are made of the richest gold embroidered materials. Some in very pale fawn cloth are entirely embroidered or finely braided with silk cords.
 They make the little coat of plain or fancy silk, satin-faced cloth, cachemiere voile, glace silk or fancy sateen. There are so many new materials from which to choose; after all it is the cut not the cloth that makes the coat.

Date FalSificd.
CBy ASSOCIATED Press.l


LONDON, July 2l-4 A. M.-The Conser
dispatch fails to carry conviction TO either
the British press or public. Its genuine
ness is not disputed, for, as it is pointed
out here the Chinese must possess quite
a sheaf Of such messages, from which
they could easily select a non-committnl
dispatch TO serve the required purpose
1t is supposed that Mr.. Conger omitted
to destroy the cipher code, and that this
is now IN the possession of the Chinese.
a slight ray of hope is admitted in the
fact that both Mr.. and Mrs. ConSer are
known to have been on very friendly
terms with the Empress Dowager, but the
universal opinion here IS that il the DIS
patch 10 genuine the date is folsitied.
ST Halliday MacCartney, Councillor and
English Secretary TO the Chinese Legation
in London, admitted that the legation was
in receipt of news which it was not yet
able to disclose. He added:
You may take 1t TINT on July 18th,
the date OF the Conser message, all the
legations and Europeans in Pekin were
safe l cannot say why the other min
listers are not able TO communicate with
their governments
