measured his own strength with
Platt's and submitted when he could
not conquer. He's not the wild Teddy
Roosevelt you think him.
He was elected to the vice presi-

The politicians thought to bury him,
put him where he would stay. He
was forced to accept the vice presi-

Truly, Gods way is not our way.

as much as we ought-which tells the

Washington, Lincoln and Mckinley.
Suppose you read in that book the

of Providence?'

the port bow of the Texas, at right
angles to the latter's course and seemed
very close. At $50 his notes show that
Captain Philip ordered stop both en-

entry read "Brooklyn-close shave"
To Admiral Dewey witness said he did
not hear Captain Philip give any order
to back the engines. When witness
went around the lee side Of the Con-
ming Tower to see why the Texas stop

at that fellow going out to sea-" The
witness was then excused till tomorrow
morning when he was asked to bring
his newspaper report of the engage
ment in to court
Captain Sigsbee who commanded the
scout ship st. Paul. was next called.
He told how. in obedience to orders
from Captain Wise. his commanding
officer, he had Joined the flying squar-
dron on May 26 about 20 or Is miles
south of Santiago and reported to Com
modore Schley that he knew nothing
positively" about the Spanish feet but
recited certain events TO show there
was a probability of the fleet being In
Santiago at that time.
Captain Sigsbee was excused and
Chief Yeoman Gustave E. Becker, Of
the cruiser New York was called.
Becker served as a clerk to Admiral
Sampson on board the flagship New
York during the Spanish war He iden-
titled a memorandum from Captain Nc
Gala, saying there was a good landing
place near Cienfuegos, which Admiral
Sampson sent to Commodore Schley
under date of May 10 and said the
memorandum had been carried in dup
licate by the Iowa and the Dupont.
Mr. Rayner questioned the witness
very closely. bringing out the fact that
Becker had no records TO show that
either of these vessels had carried the
memorandum and that he was depen-
dent upon his memory in making the
statement.
Mr.. Hanna said in this connection
that the department expected to be
able to show that four copies of this
memorandum had been forwarded to
Commodore Schley.
Mr.. Rayner responded that he would
admit only one copy and that was the
copy delivered by the Hawk on May
%. 1898
The court adjourned for the day at
4 D. m, with Mr.. Becker still on the
stand.

At the conclusion of the opinion, Mr..
Alden took the floor and spoke at some
length on the efforts of the school
committee in making up its estimates,
and the general aspect of the case.
The school committee. by two-thirds
vote had decided to purchase books.
BY passing the order over the mayors
veto it would be equivalent to reas-
sorting the stand of the committee
He believed that the mayor expected
some action to be taken. He was of
the opinion that if the committee went
back, it would look as though its mem
bers had no minds of their own, of fac
ulty of carrying out what they had
undertaken. He considered such ac-
tion the only course by which the com
mittee could retain its self-respect in
the community.
Dr. Duggan believed that the proper
course was to ask the mayor and City
Council for sufficient money to pur-
chase the books needed. and he intro
duced an order asking for an appro-
priation of $4,000, which was adopted.
DR.. Duggan made a report of progress
in work of the committee appointed to
the matter of medical inspec-
tion in the schools The committee
has had two meetings with the Board
of Health and the matter is to be pre-
sented to the mayor and committee on
finance of the City Council Dr.Duggan
read a lot of communications from
other cities where the system is in
force. In Boston the inspectors are
paid $500 year and it is thoughtAthe
same sum might be paid here. The
committee win ask for an appropria-
ton of $4,000. 1t was voted that the
committee be continued until the mat
ter is presented to the Council.

ACTION ON PRESIDENTS
AND A MEMBERS DEATHS

Alhambra Council. No. S. X. OF C,
met last night at % Front Street and took
action on the deaths OF President Nc
Kinley and William Downey, who was a
popular member OF the council. The fol-
lowing memorial to the death OF Presi-
dent Mckinley was adopted and accepted
by the members
ITO the great chorus OF lamentation

| which swells with increasing volume
| throughout our nation over the death OF
| the chief magistrate of the United States.
President William Mckinley, the Alham-
bra Council, No. So, Knights of Columbus,
Of the city of Worcester, state of Massa-
chusetts. united our feeble voices.
| 1t was at the early hour, 2.15 Of the
morn of Sept. IA. 1901, that the stiffness of
| the night was broken by the mournful
tolling of bells, awakening from its slum-
Der nation that had gone to its rest.
with hopeful hearts, that the rising sun
| Of a new born day would cast over this
broad fair land its ray of joy and glad
ness and bring to all the people the glad
tldings that the president still lived. But
that weird and solemn pealing of the bells
from church and tower crushed out every
vestige of that cherished hope for it pro-
claimed to hamlet and city, to the state
and to the nation, that the bullet from the
hand of the assassin was but too well
directed and that the life of a great
chieftain. noble statesman and a loving,
faithful husband, an upright and Chris
tian man, was brought to an untimely
end.
I'm common with the nation we mourn
the death of him who so manfully en-
deared himself to all, regardless Of politi-
cal party or religious conviction and who
so commended himself to his countrymen
for his objectionable integrity In deal
ing with his fellowmen and to his coun-
try's cause.
1--WE denounce the principles which
actuated the nefarious and perfidlous act
of the assassin. who has deprived us of
so noble type of true Christian man
hood.
ITO his afflicted consirt, the sharer OF
his joys and sorrows. the companion Of
his social and domestic life, do our hearts
go out in the most sincere and heartfelt
sympathies. May her consolation and
ours be that the good God to whose
Divine VIII the late President 50 gener-
ously and so reverently bowed In humble
submission, will not leave without its re-
ward. the faithful service he has rem
dered to his God, to his country and TO
his feilowman.

in intricate figures: it is always mis-
take to manipulate the fabrics till they
have the appearance Of having been
handled too much; the best Paris cou-
turieres never make the mistake of tor
turing their materials. as is too often
done by ambitious workers in this coun-
try. On the other hand no good Ameri-
can dresmaker. and their number is in
creasing amazingly fast, would be will
ing to turn out creations as sloppily put
together as some of the enchantingly
designed frocks that are imported. 1t
requires the dizziness of a surgeon and
the patience of Job as well as the inven-
tive faculty of an artist in dress to COM
pass the wonders that are comprised in
delicate dress stuffs today; the Partisan
knows when to stop handling them, and
does it at the critical moment regard
less of whether raw seams show through
in a chiffon dress or not.
The edict has been in force for some
time that street gowns should not be
worn in the house, nor house gowns in
the street And surely the gown meant
for the occasion is much the me st suit
able In all instances. This has not been
more strongly enforced than at the pres
ent moment. when the fashions for street
and house are so Numerically opposed
We have not yet. unfortunately, arrived
at short walking skirt for smart
street gown. Women often have two
skirts made of one coat, one quite short
but the one intended for smart wear
is always long enough to touch the
ground at the back. and at the sides
as WELL This seems a mistake when
an abnormal length of skirt is permitted
for house wear. Indeed, there seems no
limit to the length of train that a wo-
man may have on her house gown. For
the street. this year, the smooth-face
cloths as we'll as the rough ones are In
style. The princess form predominates
over everything. as is evidenced by the
long. fitted coats which reach very often
almost to the hem of the skirt, and which
in all instances carry out the idea that
there should be nothing to break the
long lines from shoulder to foot, or, to
speak more definitely. to define the
waist-line. Bands OF velvet or of braid.
or bias folds OF silk, satin. or Of the ma
ferial Of the gown. form yokes on the
skirt and bodices on the waist. The
skirt is worn over the waist and pushed

coats are usually made Of light color
silks. The variety of coats is very large,
those of the redingote order being ex-
tremely popular. Something which is
half coat, since it has sleeves, is quite
a novelty, the sleeves being tucked
down from the shoulder nearly to the
elbow and falling in flowing shape be-
low.
Nothing is so fashionable with those
who ca nafford luxury as is white; white,
too, of the dantiest and arrest descrip-
ton, all lace and chiffon. Those who
must count the cost may fall back on a
legion Of pretty muslins, numerous as the
sands of the sea. Among the prettiest is
muslin, white or cream, embroidered In
dots or rings, and, newer still, tam
boured in fancy patterns forming borders
for skirt collar and sleeves. Then there
are printed jaconet nuslins, nainsooks
with tucks and openwork stripes. which
are not only pretty but practical. since
they may be washed again and again.
Such toilets, fresh and we'll suited to the
country, are far more becoming for
young girls than the costly materials
which are the height of the mode.
The new fashion of leaving the back
bare-a fashion which, like SO many
others of the season, is a revival and not
an invention-is also for the young.
After 30. generally, always after 40. the
throat is best yelled with lace, which
may be thick or thin in proportion to the
beauty and fairness of the throat which
it covers. Chsmisettes Of tucked lawn
to fill in the VS. and the squares, which
appear on so many corsages are not only
comfortable for cool days but serve to
vary the effect. Guimpes are exceed
ingly popular, made of tucked organdy,
and are worn under corsage cut round,
square. of pointed, with lace around the
opening, and their transparency, which
must not be destroyed by a lining, Is
both pretty and comfortable. The sleeve
of the corsage should be less than elbow
length, counting the lace on the edge,
and finished by under-s.eeves to match
the guimpe.
The collar makes the bodice nova
days. A curve here. another there,
points, angles. scallops, and long, short,

a yoke again into the girdle and at top
Of sleeves. If the sleeves are long, they
are shirred into a cuff, or if ending at
elbow, a ruff1e is the finishing touch.
The predominating note in sleeves Is
that they must be tight above the ell
bow and very, very full below.
New brocaded silks are being shown IN
cashmere designs, to be used for wAfBk
coats, revers, collars, etc. They sAfe
especially effective with black taffeta or,
yelling. "a
Red yelling made over white taffeta is
an especially smart combination and is
enhanced with touch of black.
The most popular trimming for, the
past season has certainly been the ere
tonne flowers. Now we see the same
idea carried out in liberty velvet. It is
cut out in designs Of flowers and leaves
or conventional pattern, painted in soft
pastel tints and appliqued on silk or
crepe. This makes beautiful trimming
and is handsome enough for any gown.
For thinner materials, flowers cut out Of
chiffon are painted in delicate colors and
appliqued. Ribbons play an important
part in trimming, whether of taffeta,
striped or plain, pompadous OF velvet.
With plain ribbons, buckles of silver,
gold, steel or pearl are used to fasten
them, the ribbons being drawn through
them. Velvet ribbons are very popular,
especially the narroWest width, and the
comet ribbons are charming used in pro-
fusion on gowns of thin materials. The
favored trimming, however. is tambour
work, a beautiful delicate lace work used
in trailing designs of tiny flowers and
leaves. It is made often in delicate
| shades of silk, the coloring of the flowers
| being carried out in the silks.
Metal braids are to be used a great
| deal on fall gowns, and there is to BE-
a return to cords, fringes, braids and
tassels.
| OF course, lace is, as ever used in pro-
| fusion, especially in the cut-out designs,
| appliqued in berthas, yokes, tops of
sleeves and in the skirts. In the new
shades for fall we see a great deal eff
| brown in fawn, beige, Havana and bis
cult. Cream color, butter and ecru, made
over white are used in thin materials.
| White and black are the colors par eX-
cellence, though for every kind of gown
green is to be revived, almond and Nile
are the favorites. Blue in every shade,
red, orange, rose, mauve, geranium, pink
and bluet are all found in the new ma
terials.
Mohair gowns are not, strictly speak
ing, made for autumn wear. Those that
| were turned out late in the spring are
now being seen for the first time. Black,
bright blue, gray and tan are all in
fashion. The black Jacket with the
facing of white mohair is very much in
favor for it's simplicity, while those that
are made with the white silk or MORE
revers are more elaborate, having a
braiding of gold or silver on the revers.
These gowns have the strapped seams,
the straps being of the mohair instead Of
silk. This is much newer than the tat
feta bands either plain or stitched
which have been used so much in the
past year.
Bizarre trimmings are made with lace
bands and medallions by combining them

as far down as possible, and the belt is
sc narrow that it seems to be one of the
shines of the trimming, in order to follow
out the rule that skirt and waist are
made in one. The coats are trimmed in
the same way.

some fullness in the skirt fitted we'll into

marrow, straight front, the sleeves fin

EoI lace, are most picturesque, and are
exceedingly smart made in velvet and
velveteen, as well as in cloth, satin, or
brocade. One of the favorite models
fastens with diagonal Line from the
waist to the shoulder, so arranged that
lit can be turned back in one revers;
this is a very simple model, but becom-
ing to both slender and stout women.

white, but in colors, prefer ably in gray,
with applique of black lace with silver
Or steel pailettes.
Although there is every variety, and no
one need confine themselves to any
special fashion, the sashes, which are
sucha pretty addition to evening frocks,
must be made of soft Liberty satin or
mousselne. drawn down very low in
front, then tightly around the figure
and fastened high in the back, falling
with long ends to the bottom of the
dress.
Princess and empire are both undoubt-
edly fashionable, but their following is
small for the simple reason that both
require an inspired dressmaker if they
are to be really successful. Also, the
round bodice slightly bloused in front
and either plain or with postillion tabs
in the back, bids fair to hold continued
eway. The broad, as we'll as the very
narrow folded girdle. is correct, and the
sashes, which have not been adopted so
generally on this side of the water as on
the other, will doubtless figure largely
in the house and evening gowns this
winter. There is a slight dip toward the
front in the waist-line bodice trimming
of all Partisan gowns, but nothing ex-
