Declared to he Finest I'm World nv
Contractor Constructing the
Steel Pier There

Robert Tibbits. the contractor who
for the last seven months has been
building the United States govern
ment coaling station and pier in the
harbor of Pago-Pago, in the Samoan
islands, has arrived at San Francisco.
He says the pier and other structures
costing $400,000, will be turned over
to the government in about three
months. The pier is 365 feet long
and so feet wide. It is made entirely
of steel. All the piles are of steel.
They measure nine inches in diane
ter, and vary in length from 80 to 70
feet. On the shore just back of the
projecting pier is a large steel build
ing $50 feet long by 100 feet wide.
This is to be a repository for 10000
tons of coal. f.nother similar build
ing is to be erected. Mr.. Tibbits de-
clares that there is no doubt that
Pago-Pago is the finest coaling sta
ton in the world.

THE DUKE AND HIS DOGS,
gals to Pay fer Them and He IL
Obliged to Sail without Them
Papa Zimmerman Fails.

When the duke of Manchester sailed
for England he left behind two ter
riers that he had intended to take with
him, says the New York Times. They
were tagged with large labels, on
which were their names and that of
their owner. But complications arose
between the duke and the man from
whom he bought the dogs some
months ago, and as result the noble
man had to leave the dogs behind.
"The reason he did not carry them
with him." said friend of the dogs
former owner, "was that he had not
paid for them. Mr.. Kelly, of Boston,
who is a friend Of mine, sold the ter
rlers to the duke last year. Manchester
promised to pay $1,000 for the pair.
lie did not pay. So, when Kelly heard
the duke was to sail he came to New
York.
but when he went to the hotel the
duke was not at home However.
Kelly took his lawyer to the hotel and
lay in wait for the duke. He found
him in the lobby. The duke said he
had not the money. His father-in-
law, when asked to pay the bill, re-
fused to do so. So the duke had to let
Kelly take the dogs"

MUST WEAR BRAID IN PUBLIC.
New Order VIII Require Britis b
Army Officers to Appear
in Uniform.

Society parade grounds in London
will be much frightened soon by reason
of the forthcoming army order that an
officer shall dress in uniform instead
of mufti in public. The order comes
into force April 2. 1t ordains that all
army officers shall wear their uniforms
in public and in theaters and places of
entertainment as we'll, This applies to
all household regiments, foot GU rds
and cavalry.
1t cannot be said that this order is at
ali popular. 1t is generally thought
that it has been brought about by the
instigation of the kaiser when he was
over there. 1t is understood the whole
thing is supposed to be an incentive to
recruiting. Earl Roberts and the king
have had many long discussions on the
subject.

STYLES FOR NEXT SEASON.
Shirts Made to Fit the Straight Front
Corset-White to Be
FaVorite,

Never were there more novelties in
hosiery and underwear than the shops
are showing at the present time. It
seems settled that fancy stockings are to
be worn almost exclusively, and that
colors are to take precedence of black.
Color has appeared in jersey UNDER
wear, too, in an entirely new character,
and is guaranteed not to fade. Even
union suits now can be bought in light
blue, pink, lavender and ecru, says the
New York Tribune.
The straight front cor ct is growing
in popularity, and the indications are
that the old styles will disappear en-
tirely in another year. Summer COR
Gets in girdle and empire fashions are
shown in large quantities, so it is evi-
dent that the merchants expect a de-
mand for them.
The straightfront corset has neces-
STATED a straight front petticoat," and
the new skirts of fine quality are cut
to fit the figure produced by it. EN-
broidery is more often seen on these
dainty skirts than lace, and hem
stitching and tucks appear on many.
The white skirt will be worn the COM
ing summer in preference to silk. ow-
ing to the vogue that thin white goods
are certain to have in gowns.
Corset covers are the tilmiest, most
artistic creations imagina BILE, to suit
the extreme delicacy of the coming g
shirt waist. They, too, are made to
conform to the straight front corset
model, being longer in front.
Some lovely new nightdresses have
boleros of fine embroidery or lace.
Others have fchu and surplice ar
rangements, and still others are made
like babies long dresses, with front
breadths ornamented by rows of in
sertion.
Silk skirts. like the white, are being
fitted to the new corset, and are so
perfectly adjusted to the dress skirt
that the sheath effect is increased.
Many of them would serve admirably
as drop skirts under the transparent
fabrics that are to be so popular. 1t
will be imperative next season that
the petticoat shall fit as correctly as
the dress skirt, otherwise the latter
will be spoiled in effect. The sheath
like fashion is firmly established, and
the princess skirt, which is one of the
spring novelties, will accentuate the
clinging character of the gown, so that
the slightest fullness in the petticoat,
elsewhere than a trif1e at the back,
would mar the smoothness beyond
hope
Most ornate effects are seen in the
chemises worn by many fashionable
women. They are really combira-
tion of corset cover and under-petti-
coat, and are the prettiest article Of
underwear in a womans wardrobe
The present mode has no waste of
material and falls almost without a
fold from bust to knee. The upper part
is trimmed daintily, and the lower is
ruffied and inserted and tucked. The
material is finest nainsook, and every
thing pertaining to the garment must
be of cOrrespondinp de1icacy

FUN ON A STREET CAR.
A VentriIoquist Enjoys Himself at
the Expense of His Fellow
Passengers.

II you desire to enjoy the alternat-
ing sensations of wretchedness, dis
gust and then despair, go into the
neighbohood of frst-class ventrilo-
quist. One boarded a West Jefferson
street car at Sixth street the other
night, and every passenger would have
bolted and walked to his destination if
the trickster had remained aboard.
OF course no one knew that he was
a master of ventriloquism when he sat
down about midway of the aisle and
began reading a newspaper. But when
a pretty girl in the front of the car
asked the conductor for chew of to-
bacco the other passengers gasped. AS
for the girl she wilted
The voice, pitched to ''C'' below the
staff, was so unlike her own that she
looked furtively at the young man who
sat by her side. When the conductor
reached for his plug she became
naughty, and the collector of fares
concluded there might be some mis-
take.
The passengers looked dazed when, a
moment later, the conductor shouted:
eighteenth street." AS for that indi-
vidual he thought himself under the
spell of a hoodoo. Of course he didn't
announce Eighteenth street, but all Of
the passengers thought he did, which
amounted to the same thing. He
walked to the platform evidently deep
in thought, says the Louisville Courier
Journal. He scanned the passengers
to see who was responsible for the
trick
The door had barely clicked when a
fat man who sat across from the man
interested in the newspaper began ex-
pounding upon the merits of canned
watermelon. Every body became in
terested. The remarks were in keep

and there were surface indications of
trouble.
Just then the man behind the news
paper chuckled, arose from his seat,
and, with slight bow, left the car.
The passengers 'caught on in
cluding the two men who had been en-
gagged in the argument.

cream after being spread with ounce

whipped cream around it. To make
the pudding beat three eggs light, and
add cup and half of powdered sugar,
and beat the whole until light and fluf-
fy. Sift two cups of pastry -four with
a teaspoonful of cream tartar and halt
a teaspoonful of soda. Stir in half a
cup of water in the beaten eggs and
sugar, add the -four, and beat in quick
ly. Bake the cake in sheet. When
it is done let it become cold. then split
it, and Inca two-quart charlotte russo
mold carefully with the cake. Spread
the cake with a tumbler of ounce jelly
and fill the cavity with ice cream
favored with vanilla or caramel. Set
the cake in a very cold place if it is to
wait at all, so that the cream will not
melt. Do not, however, fill this pudding
with ice cream until you are ready to
serve it; then heap whipped cream,
sweetened and favored with vanilla,
over it, and shift it on a cold crystal
platter and wreath it with whipped
cream. 1t is a very ornamental pud-
dire
