collar and cuffs of sable or chinchilla
make these coats handsome. They are
of velvet, silk or handsome cloth, braid

Empire shape appears among the others.

skirt hangs. This is laid in narrow stitch

Corduroy velvets are made effectively
into long and three-quarter coats, but
more attractive are coats of pale tinted
cloths White, pale yellow, blue, pink
and biscuit color are the prevailing tints,
and when trimmed with handsome lace

these are very handsome for evening and
receptions There is a big variety in
them, too, the delicate shading of the
goods being the only feature that all
have. Two garments from this class APP
pear here. One is shown in the initial
picture, and was biscuit cloth, strapped
with light brown panne velvet. Velvet
buttons finished the straps on the revers.
The second example-at the left in the
second illustration-was oyster colored
broadcloth, with black and white striped
velvet and bands of white and gilt pas
sementere as trimming. These two gar
ments show the existing range in one
feature only-it. Equally great is, the
chance to follow individual taste in cut
and finish.
There are evening cloaks of white

many handsome coats are made of light

decoration being on the collar and down

Another decoration used great deal on
these goods consists of bands of eolored

the black velvet coats. The one shown

opportunity which afforded itself found
her either on her way to that beauti-

To Eleanor, this spot was far more
beautiful than any cultivated park in
the world Here Nature asserted her
rights to the fun, and where Art play
cd part. it was only to enhance tie
beauty of the wonderfully picturesque

bridges over the narrow chasms; there

Explosion of Boiler in Detroit Brings

A delegation of Porto Rican mer-
chants Is now in this country to petit
ton President Roosevelt to do some
thing to relieve the coffee trade of Por-
to Rico of the unfortunate conditions
that surround it. The first evils en-
dured were the war and the hurricane,
which left the Porto Rican planters
with all that any one could hope to
contend against successfully.
But following these misfortunes
came a retaliatory duty by Spain Of
$12.SS on Porto Rican coffee and an in
crease Of duty by France. These have
been followed by duty of $3.50 in
Cuba. In all these countries Porto
Rico had formerly a nominal tariff rate
and exported largely to them. The loss
of the Cuban market is especial cause
for complaint as Porto Rico formerly
shipped about S3,50O,0O0 worth of cof-
fee annually to Cuba.
The extension of free trade with
America has not relieved the situation,
as coffee is on the free list In the Ding
ley tariff, and the Porto Ricans say
the effect of the new system has been
to cause the importation of immense
amounts of Brazilian coffee into Porto
Rico and its reshipment as Porto Rican
coffee.
To remedy their. present condition
the Porto RicaDs ask that their agri-
cultural products be recognized as
American products, SO as to come with
in the provisions of reciprocity treaties
for such products; that there be put a
duty Of 5 cents per pound on imported
coffee, or be given a bounty Of cents a
pound on Porto RIcan coffee; that in
future reciprocity treaties special pro-
vision be made for Porto sican coffee
as an American product Our new
ward is taking up the American idea

To one of the latter Eleanor always
came, and if she found it already oc-
cupied. her disappointment was keen.
That particular seat C'our bench" they
had called it,, was sacred to the mem
DRY of many hours of happiness, and
to-day the young girls thoughts dwelt
lovingly upon them. She remembered
a thousand and one little incidents;
trivial events, of no Importance ut the
tine, but now, delightful to look back
upon. The future without Hal Bur
ton loomed up before her blankly. Her
eyes filed with tears, and there was a
pain in her heart which she found it
impossible to assuage.
It was in vain that she tried to be-
come interested in the beauty of the
scene before her. Down at the foot of
the steep banks, she saw the boats
passing up and down the sluggish
canal. Then she looked beyond, over
the pretty little wooded island. where
the roof of the Pleasure Club house

many rocks in the river around which
the waters of the Potomac eddied and
whirled increasingly, making n picture
Tar too difficult for the brush of mortal

"Ah. yes. Hal could paint that

Among her most highly priced uea-
sures was a sketch of the river and a
glimpse of the Virginia hills. which
Hal had been making on the day her
party had accidentally come upon him
in this very spot. 1t was here he had
been introduced to her; here, some time
later. he had asked her to be his wife.
Here il was, she promised, and then
had followed those many delightful
months. To-day the thoughts of the
unhappy girl continually drifted back
over the hours, oh, such happy times,
spent in these woods and the Chautau-
qua grounds adjoining. where she and
her lOver wandered like two children.

Alas! it was here they had quarrel
ed; what it had all been about the girl
could scarcely remember. Both were
fooishily quick, both proud. To who
was at fault Eleanor now gave no
thought; she would have taken the
blame and asked forgiveness for her
hasty words, fault or no fault, IL he
had but come to her; but he did
not, aud she could not seek him. Not
long afterward she had gone abroad
with her parents. and when she re-
turned to Washington, it was only to
learn that hal had left the city.
She caught her breath sharply and
pressed her hand against her heart as

That RaIancn nf onrs

1t is curious to ind that. after all, we
have not, as was so often said some
months ago. a comfortable balance of
some six or eight hundred millions on
loan in Europe, but on the contrary we
are on the point Of ship ing gold to pay
debts. That the large excess of our ex-
ports over imports ought to create such
balance in our favor was a natural
supposition. We have for many years
been selling Europe vastly more than
we buy from her, but in the last two or
three years the excess was enormous.

excess was S92. 100000. and the excess
