The Ever-popular shirt Waist.

Whatever changes autumn may have
In store, it is certain that simple odd
waists will be generally worn. The
smart May Manton design illustrated
on the right of the large cut Is suited
alike to the thin goods OF immediate
wear and to the silks, challies and
crepe de chimes which will come later.
Made with elbow sleeves and the plas-
tron and revers Of lace, 1t becomes
dressy enough for dinner; with long
sleeves and palmer finish 1t Is not too
elaborate for general morning utility.
As shown, the matrial is Liberty foul
ard in tea rose pink. with plastron
and revers of striped Valenclennes.
The fronts and back are attached to
the lining after which the waist is
scanned at the shoulders and under
arms. The plastron Is attached to the
right side and hooked over at the left.
The revers are faced and edged with
narrow lace. The sleeves. which are
cut In one piece, made In elbow length,
are finished with rolloyer cuffs Of the
lace. At the throat Is soft stock of
plain pink silk, and below the reyers
falls a four-in-hand scarf Of lace.

lustrated, three and one-eighth yards
of material twenty-one inches wide,
or two and one-quarter yards thirty
two inches wide, with flve-eighths of
yard Of lace eighteen inches wide,
two yards of edglng and one and one
half yards of lining, will be required.
The other shirt waist de:,gn Illus
trated is certain to appeal to all low
ers of pretty clothes. AS shown 1t
Is OF white madras, with bands of em.
broidery, and is unllned. but 1t can be
relied upon to mean equal success In
all washable stuifs and In silks, cash
mercs and challis for cool weather
wear. The lining is In two pieces only,
adjusted by under-arm seams ana sim
gle bust darts, and fits to perfection.

darts. The back is seamless, the snug
effect being gained by under-arm
cores. The collar and revers are self

ing. The sleeves are two scanned, and
fit snugly, with just enough fulness
ut the shoulders to prevent overnight
ness. They are stitched to simulate
cuffs at the wrists. The closing is ac-
complished with n single button and

Great Explorer Died.

Monument to Mark the Site Where the
Great Explorer Died.
Funds have been raised in England
to erect memorial to DR.. Livingstone,
the intention being to mark the site
where the great explorer died with q
permanent monument, to take the place
of the famous tree beneath which his
heart was buried. 1t has been decided
that the memorial shall be an obelisk,
twenty feet high, surmonted by cross.
AS suitable stone is not found In the
region the material chosen is the best
concrete, which will be taken to Africa
in 450 alright cylinders, each weigh
Ing fifty pounds. Moulds have been
prepared for the formation of the
blocks, of which 800 will be used.
Two tablets, placed on opposite sides
of the monument, will bear the follow
ing inscription: Erected by His Friends

so light protection over bare shoul-

to prevent a cold. They are much

ruary 9th by DR.. Armitage. His tenn
perature was then only 100. The right
axillary gland contained bubo, which
was very painful He died early on the
morning of the 18th, the day we
arrived. The p05tmortem was per-
formed by Dr. CSrvin in the presence
of the physicians of Kahului and my
self. He was perfectly black in the
issues. The spleen was black and
large, and the left lung was also black
and soft Slides mqde by DR.. Garvin
showed the bacil,. o. plague in large
numbers"
The last victim was the one visited
by Drs. Wood and Garvin upon their
arrival and who died at noon of Febru-
airy 18th. Typical cases of black
plague were seen by President Wood,
showing how malignant the outbreak
was in the little town.
All these cases of death occurred in
few houses right in the center of Ka-
hului's Chinatown, but 1t did not
spread out to other portions of the
town. All the houses in which the
cases occurred could be put in the
back yard of the Judiciary building
grounds, so President Wood states.
Orders were promptly given that
Chinatown should be burned. When the
Kauai reached Lahaina a telephone
message was received there that Chi
natown had been completely destroyed
by fire.
The same general routine of placing
the people in quarantine was observed
as followed in Honolulu. Nearly two
hi .dred Chinese and Japanese, with a
sprinkling of H1waiians, were marched
out to the race track where the quar-
antine camp had already been estab-
lished. Their quarters are comfortable.
They were put through the disinfection
process, given clean clothes and guard
ed from contact with the outer COM
munity.
Arrangements have been perfected
by which freight can be handled en-
.irely by the Kahului Railroad with
the same degree of safety as the Oahu
Railway of Honolulu. Uninfected per-
sons will attend to the transfer of
freight from the scows onto the rail-
road cars. Sugar stored in Kahului
warehouses, will, of course, be held in
quarantine. There is every opportu-
nifty for handling freight in entire
safety by the railroad company, as the
'ailroad is entirely segregated from
he town.
President Wood evidently agrees
with the people of Maui in ascribing
the infection to Chinese goods brought
here from China, via Honolulu. The
goods when opened spread the infec-
ton, although it was confined to but
few houses in the center of Kahului's
Chinatown. He feels reasonably GER
tain that the plague can be suppressed
on Maui in very short time, as all
the persons from the vicinity of the in
fected locality are in quarantine
Sheriff Baldwin will use every effort
10 bring back all persons who have left
Kahului, and especially the infected
section. Messengers were sent in every
direction, and the citizens on every
part of the island have banded them
selves together as unit to crush the
disease.

The russell sparrow sat on the roof and
blinked at the setting sun. Sadly the
stray policeman in the gray distance
swiped an orange from. the barrow Of q
passing coster and peeled it with grimy
hand: He was thinking, thinking. And
the dead leaves still choked the tin spout
above the rainwater barrel in the back
yard.
The russell sparrow sat on the roof and
olinked at the setting sun. Adown the gut
tiers in the lonely street ran murky pud-
dies on their long, long journey toward the
d1stant; sea. Borne on the wings of the
sluggish breeze came far-off murmur of
vagrant dogs in fierce contention and life
was hollow mockery to the homeless cat.
And the russell sparrow sat on the roof
