Absurd Fashions.

Some of the fashions in France dur
ing the reign Of Queen Marie were ex-
ceedingly absurd, particularly hair
dressing and hats, which were trim
med with such an extravagant wealth
of feathers that the coaches had to
have their seats lowered. According
to Nine. Campan, mothers and hus-
bands murmured, and the general ru-
NOR was that the queen would ruin the
French ladies'"
One day Louis XVI. decided to for
bid the court in body to follow the
royal hunt in coaches. In order to be
freer he wished only to permit real
sportsmen to attend. The noble la
dies Immediately rebelled. and the
Princess of Monaco criticised the deci-
sion by means Of her headdress, upon
which arose a miniature royal coach,
followed by two gentlemen on foot in
CATERS. On the left of this was dis
played cypress garnished with black
tears, the large roots being formed of
Grape.
More absurd still was the hairdress-
ing of the mother of Louis Philippe,
upon whose head every one could adj
mire her son, the Due de Beaujolais,
in The arms Of his nurse as we'll as a
parrot pecking at cherry.

be no further proceedings in this ce1e-
.brated case on the departments initia-
tive. Secretary Long and Judge Advo-
cate Lemly positively decline to dis
cuss the findings in any phase The
secretary received the reports at 5
o'clock last evening, and he has not
yet acted upon them. 1t is probable
that he will simply append his sigma
ture with the word ''Approved' to the
whole record.
Schley Will Make no Statement
A representative of the Associated
Press conveyed first information of the
findings of the court to Admiral
Schley. He was seated in the public
reception room of a hotel chatting
with friends and several newspaper
men, and evinced no signs of nervous
ness over the outcome. When the con-
illusions of Admiral Dewey We're read
to him Admiral Schley showed his
pleasure, and it was evident from his
manner that he regarded the state
ment from Admiral Dewey as a vindI-
cation of his cause. He declined to
make any statement concerning the
courts findings, and excusing himself
from the little company which had
gathered about him, went to his apart
ments, where Mrs. Schley had been
anxiously awaiting to hear the courts
decision.

During O shooting match in the pres
ence of the governor of Kandahar the
sirdar noticed to his establishment that
the heads Of sparrows were the ia
Vorite butt of the marksmen, who but
seldom missed their aim, whereupOn
he declared that it was far more diff
cult to hit an egg. Sir Peter laughed at
the supposition, but the sirdar stood
his ground, and the matter was put to
the test. An egg was suspended on a
wall, and the soldiers fired at it; but,
strange to say, not one Of them hit the
egg.
The governor and his suit kept their
cOuntenances and excused the nonsuc-
cess Of the firing party on the ground
of the difficulty Of the thing. At last
q ball happened to hit the thread to
which the egg was fastened, and it fell
to the ground without breaking. Now
the mystery was solved. The cunning
Afghan had used a blown egg, and
the featherWeight shell had been mov-
ed aside each time by the current of
air in front of the ball and thus escap-
ed being hit.

BIG PROBLEM Tackled
Some Rather Hefty Men, However, Ar,
Doing the Tackling.


New York, Dec. 17.-Among the gen.
tlemen who assembled in this city yes
terday to discuss the questions in
volved in the labor and capital prob
lem were Senator NJ. A. Hanna, Chas.
M. Schwab, Archbishop Ireland, Bish-
op Potter, John Phillips, of the Ma
tional Hatters' union; James Ryan, of
the International Typographical union,
and Marcus Marks, president of the
National Clothing Makers association.
Several of them made speeches declar-
ing they would do anything reasonable
to bring capital and labor together.
SchwaIb declared his opposition to
unions as they are now constituted.
Hanna expressed strong approval of
the principle of organized labor, and
his speech drew apologies from John
Phillips and John J. Donnelly, two Of
the labor delegates present, who con-
fessed that they had held erroneous
and unjust views as to the attitude of
the senator toward organized labor. He
closed by declaring that to the end Of

Condition of Bicycle Racers.

New York, Dec. 17.-With the posi-
BILE exception of Nat Butler of Bos-

the majority of the six-day bicycle
riders look none the worse for their
weeks grind in the championship race
Butler is said to be suffering from the
effects of a fall which he received on
Friday, and which threatened to put
him out of the race. AS a matter of
fact, he rode pretty much throughout
Saturday in semi-dazed condition
and frequently claimed that the track
was only two feet wide and SO con-
structed as to make it impossible for
him to ride on. Bobby Walthour, the
winner of his team, is in fine condition.

through perky suburban settlements
or honest truck farms or half dried
swales and disheveled swamps the
horror grows.

MAJORITY OPINION IN FULL

What Ramsey and Benham Think the
Facts Demonstrate.
Following is the full opinion of Ad-
mirals Benham and Ramsey, consti-
tutings the majority of the court:
Commodore Schley. in command of
the flying squadron, should have pro-
ceeded with utmost dispatch off Glen
fuegos and should have maintained a
close blockade of that port. He should
have endeavored, on May %, at Glen
fuegos, to obtain information regarding
the Spanish squadron by communicate
ing with the insurgents at the place
designated in the memorandum deliy-
cred to him at 8:15 a. m. of that date.
"He should have proceeded from
Cienfuegos to Santiago de Cuba with
all dispatch, and should have disposed
his vessels with a view of Intervening
the enemy in any attempt to pass the
flying squadron. He should not have
delayed the squadron for the Eagle.
HE should not have made the retro
grade turn westward with his squad
ron. He should have promptly obeyed
the navy departments order of May
25. He should have endeavored to
capture Or destroy the Spanish vessels
at anchor near the entrance Of Santi-
ago harbor on May % and 80. He did
not do his utmost with the force under
his command to capture or destroy the
Colon and other vessels of the enemy
which he attacked on May 81.
by commencing the engagement on
July 8 with the port battery and turn
ing the Brooklyn around with port
helm Commodore Schley caused her fo
lose distance and position with the
Spanish vessels especially with the
Vizcaya and Colon. The turn of the
Brooklyn to starboard was made to
avoid getting her into dangerous prox-
Unity to the Spanish vessels. The
turn was made toward the Texas and
caused that vessel to stop and back her
engines to avoid possible collision

SCHLEY CASE NOT DISPOSED OF
applicant Will Fight the Approval of tn
Findings-Up in the Senate.


Findings-Up in the Senate.
Washington, Dec. 17.-An echo OF
the verdict of the court of inquiry in
the case of Rear Admiral Schley was
heard in the senate yesterday when
Jones of Arkansas introduced q reso-
luton extending the thanks of con-
gress and Of the American people to
Admiral SchIey and the officers and
men under his command during the
battle of July 8, 1898, off the harbor of
Santiago, Cuba. In submitting the
resolution Jones made no statement.
and it was reIerred without comment
to the committee on naval affairs.
But still more important echo was
developed in correspondence that took
place yesterday between Lawyer Ray
ner and Secretary Long. Admiral
Schley was in consultation all forenoon
with his counsel, Rayner, and M. A.
league, also General Felix Agnus, of
Baltimore, and Representative Schirm,
of Maryland. After the conference
Schley authorized league to make the
following statement:
eve have been in consultation as
to what further proceedings shall be

termined upon so far as civil or Grim
inal action of any kind against Ma
clay and his sponsors is concerned.
Maclay's claim that the findings of the
court are a vindication for himself and
his book is absolutely spurious. There
are no less than half dozen instances
IL the book in which, even if he were
to accept the findings of the court and
incorporate them in the volume and
change it to suit the findings, the book
would still be criminal libel"
The correspondence consisted Of a
letter to Secretary Long requesting
him to delay affixing his approval to
the findings until Schley had an oppor-
tunity to file his objections to the find
ings, and that the court be not dis
solved until the requested action, has
been had. Secretary Long granted the
request and asked how long counsel
would be preparing the objections.
The. reply was that they would be
ready Thursday or Friday of this
week. The purpose is to demand that
the majority opinion be disapproved by
the secretary as contrary to the evil
dence. The secretary allowed until
Friday next in which to submit the
executions

Jury Thinks That She Had Right to Kill

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE jury in
the case of Mrs. BONNIE, charged with
the murder of James Seymour Ayres,
Jr., in the Kenmore hotel, in this city,
on the night of May Is, last evening
rendered verdict of not guilty, and
the defendant was set at liberty. Such
a conclusion of the trial was generally
expected, the popular impression here
being that from the evidence submit
ted the prosecution had failed to prove
it's case against Mrs. Bonnie. The jury
was out less than five hours.
