MOTHER OF rHR IMMIGRANTS
Mrs Reclaa stueklen's Distinctive Work II
New York. q

John Gilmer Speed writes as follows
n Ainslee's Magazine:
Probably no two women In
America come so close to varied per
sonal history as Mrs. Regina Stuck
len, Chief Inspector Of the Women's
Department of the Barge Office, and
well known rs the Mother of Immi-
grants, and her assistant, Miss Tay-
lor. No church in all the metropolis
solemnizes so many marriages as the
Barge Office, and no matrimonial agent
on earth arranges so many weddings
as does Mrs. Stucklen; and beneath
the majority of these there Is q say
Ing proportion Of romance that lear-
. eneth the whole heavy lump. Thus
there are compensations even in the
most arduous tasks and amid sur
roundings that are repellent to re-
fined feminine mind.
7. personally, with great benignity
and with signal absence Of official fus-.
siness, Mrs. Stucklen regards the
wants of all the women. She learns
not only whence each comes, but
whittier each wishes to go and what
each purposes to do. OF the struggles
with the great problems Of existence
in all countries and in all grades of So
cial life, Mrs. Stucklen knows enough
to fill volumes. The Mother Of the I'm
migrants is woman Of strong person.
ality, calm, firm and sympathetic
under most trying situations, and to
the would-be bride, who has arrived
stranger in a foreign land to meet her
promised husband; she IS ut :mee,eopn-.
sellor, witness and friend. AS about
three hundred marriages take place
annually at the Barge Office, or dl-'
rectly under its auspices-one solemn
izatlon for every working day Of the
year-and as Mrs. Stucklen inquiries
into the intimate history of each mat
rimonial affair. she has more than an
ordinary opportunity to study this in
teresting side Of life. Whittier thoy
so and how they prosper after leav-
ing her. qua. dian care, the inspector
has little opportunity !, Of, knowing;
whether to found honorable and pros.
porous families, or to fail and ill the
paupers grave. Barely one per cent.
of them ever retains enough grateful
memory of her services to inform her.
But there are rewards in knowing
ones duty we'll done; and If there is
q seeming ingratitude on the. part Of
brides and grpoms dlike, It is. because
the Government, and the Barge Office
as one of its institutions. is a thing of
odium to the average immigrant-th
thing from which he fed when he fer
sooS his native hills and valleys; and
the sorrows and tribulations Of the de-
tention pens the immigrant seeks to
blot from his memory as speedily as
possible

Travelled with its owner all the ways

Fashion Notes.

Fashion Notes. -
Gold fringe Is. used extensively to
fnsh the ends Of sashes.
Sleeves are constantly growing
larger, not only at the elbow but at the
top.
Broad sleeves, or shoulder effects,
and full skirts assure us that broad
effects in colfrures will reign.
The popularity of the: balf..sleeves
on both Jackets and dress waists. neg
ligees and tea gowns, is constantly in
creasing.
Sleeves of Liberty silk, chiffon. or
fine silk tissue should never: be applied
plain, on account of tue sheerness of
material. -
The sleeve of the moment Is mod
erately full at the top and ends at
the elbow, where 1T Is frilled with
; lace or plaitings.
A beautiful belt is made Of strip
OF cluny lace Insertion hid over a
Write grossgraili ribbon: These are ex-
Quisitely dainty.
Very small Empire fans are oil tho
! vogue again; and they must be either
white encrusted with gold or of some
very bright color.
Gold bands will be used with bands
of lace, ribbon, embroidery and open
work stitching for yokes, collars and
girdles, also let in the seams of skirts.
The autumn brings forth n great
number Of mixed woods in which there
are gold threads, stripes and even dots,
| which will be used for the sleeves and
trimmings in combination with plain
stuffs.
Empire girdles are very attractive
and they are. made Of cloth Of gold,
taffeta silk, panne velvet and ribbon.
The popular fastening is series Of
gold buckles.
Shirring or gathering are faTorite
modes Of dlsposing Of the: fullness
upon close fitting lining. The
wrinkled sleeve is really very pretty
in Liberty silk. 1t looks exactly as IL
q too-long sleeve had been pushed up
in the lining.
In most of the gowns Of quiet shades
q little color Is put in at the neck IN
the form of q stock and vest. The
color Is not carried out at the waist
and sleeves in many of the goods as
earlier in the season. Very little or no
velvet is used, with the exception of
ribbon velvet.

Mr.. Beddard, in his new book on

the Imagination is apt to picture the
giant reptiles Of the Jurass:c and Gre

no evidence that the earth has ever
contained, either on the land or In the
sea. creatures exceeding the whale in
bulk. The mammoth was larger than
the elephant, but the ichtllTosnurus
could not match the whale for size, al

doubtless have been the whales mas

REPORT THAT FOREIGNERS WIN.
Telegram Reaches London Indicating
Troops Force Their Way to Pekin.

London, July 2.-Among the sensational
batch of kilograms from the far east, the
most important Is a statement that a body
of International troops has forced it's way
into Pekin after beating combination of
imperial troops and boxers. Though this
emanates from Shanghai and remains un-
corroborated, the optimists find in it some
measure of support for the telegram.
Some circumstantiality appears to attach
to the report from the statement that the
international troops found the Chinese field
artillery vastly superior to their own, but
badly handled.
Whether the international troops have
arrived at Pekin or not the message from
Lung Lu the Chinese commander -in-c chief,
describing the critical situation at Pekin
and urging the instant advance of the for
eign troops, shows that at least one faction
is ready to welcome them and join in op-
posing Prince Tuans anti-foreign agita-
tion. The latter is said to have accom-
plished another revolution at the palace by
placing his own son (heir apparently on the
throne, after selling or driving out the
doWager empress and emperor. He hopes
to derive advantage from these inter
national complications.
Though practically all the news tends to
establish the accuracy Of the dispatches
announcing Won Ketteler's murder. some
people find ray of hope in the fact that
Sir Robert Hart, the inspector general of
customs, telegraphing on the subject of
the situation of the legations after the al
legged date of the murder, did not men
ton it.

SITUATION AT THE CHINESE is SAID TO BE MOST DEs-
PERATE-FooD SUPPLIES ARE REPORTED SHORT
GERMAN MINISTER IS MURDERED
AMERICAN, ITALIAN AND DUTCH LEGATIONS ARE BURNED
FIGHTING AT TEN TSIN STILL CONTINUES WASHINGTON
OFFICIALS ARE NOT VERY OPTIMISTIC

Washington, July 2.-Cable dispatches
from Admiral Kempff this morning fully
confirm the previous report of the murder
of Von ketteler, the German minister at
fekn. The admiral also represents the
situation of the minister as most desper-
ate. The shortage of their food supplies
reported by Admiral Kempf gives rise to
the gravest apprehension. Having been
taken to Taku by runner, the dispatch rep
resented the ministers conditions at least
nVe Gays ago, anc there is reason to fear
that the worst has happened in the interim.
Admiral kempffs favorable report Of the
condition of the Oregon is believed by Sec
Ietary Long to be based on the report of
me commander OF the Japanese vessel
which generously offered assistance.
NO further reinforcements have been or
dered to China, military or naval.

Concerning the vice presidency, Mr..
Thompson said that the Nebraska dele
gati on was somewhat at sea and denied
positively that 1t had received any inti-
nation from Mr.. Bryan of his personal
choice Of a candidate. 1--WE want the
man that will poll the most votes.' said
Mr.. Thompson, land have not been on
the ground long enough to form any idea
OF who that man Is. Speaking generally,
however, Il will say that If the state Of
New York can decide upon good man
against whom there is no objection on
personal grounds, that man viii be sui
table. I make that statement in a broad
sense, however and I do not wish to be
upEderstod as saying that we are for
any man whom New York may chose to
endbIse. He must be suitable in other re-
specs as well as having the approval of
the sIew York delegation" The Nebras ska
delegation will hold meeting this af-
ternfnon to decide its course during the
convention and possibly to select a man
to whom 1t will tie forr the vice presi-
