Girdle belts made of ribbon are one
Of the novelties in the shops. They are

fasten the plaits, laid in the ribbon il

Gold cloth made with a design in the

Betting Of panne velvet polka dotted
with white and edged with gold cord

waists worn with tailor-made skirts

match the waist in color.
A popular garniture for gowns and
opera.cloaks is made of chiffon to repre-.

stems. Violets are not too complicated
for this branch of industry, and they,
are really very natural in coloring and
effect. Taffeta silk is also used for va.

White satin seems to be the popular
coat lining for both short fancy coats

A Few suEgeationa Generating House
Decoration and Scientific
Cooking.

A woman who believes strongly In
the unconscious influence of color de-
clares she would never have room
decorated in red, which is only good,
she claims, to counterfeit the bad e..
fects of blue, but even in that case pink
is preferable. Stating her objection.
but without explaining why. to the
artist with whom she was advising
about the decoration Of her home, he at
once replied that her dislike was but
natural, as she was of a brunette type,
and of course greens and yeilows were
much more fitting background for
her beauty He further added that Il
was the cold beauty of the blonde
which was enhanced by the warmth Of
red surroundings. Without ever hav-
ing made study of this branch of art,
some women instinctiyely choose only
the coloring suited to their style, car
rying it even so far as to show "a decided
preference for china Of the tones to
blend with their compilations; few
brunettes, for INSTANCE, viii admire the
brilliant shades of turquoise blue with
which much china is decorated, but
whole dinner sets of II are bought by
blondes, says the New York Post.
The cookery of the present day. says
a prominent physician. is conducted so
as TO eliminate nearly all the vegetable
salts. The water in which they have
been cooked is thrown away. and when
the food is ready for the table it has
been deprived of many of its natural
properties. Vegetable salts are spe-
cially serviceable when given in the
form Of food. and if we would mitigate
the misery caused by rheumatism and
various skin diseases we must begin
by reform in the kitchen. The vege-
tables should be prepared, he says. so
as to retain all salts, and should be
come part of the daily food. The
salts were intended for use in the ami
NAL economy, and when not supplied
the system is robbed of an essential
Ingredient of food. and will thus more
readily respond to discomfort and dis
ease. Vegetable salts help to render
certain substances soluble. and stimu-
late the cells of certain glands to more
active secretion.

ADDRESSED TO RUSSIA
OUR STATE DEPARTMENT SPEAKS
Attempt to Smooth Away the Fric-
tion Between the Two
Governments.

Washington, June 22.-The state depart
ment has addressed to the Russian gov
ernment, as represented by Count Cassini,
it's ambassador, such representations re-
specting the sugar and petroleum tariff
controversy as are deemed necessary to
meet the Russian action. The purpose Of
the letter is to smooth away if possible
the friction that has been engendered be-
tween the two governments in the hand
ling of these two subjects and in particu
lar to divest the exchanges of any per-
sonal character. To that end, as set out
in Secretary Cages statement yesterday
the effort is made to show that what has
been done by the United States govern
ment was in a manner grought about by
the automatic operation of the American
tariff laws. The facts set out by the treas
ury statement as to the provisions of the
countervailing duty section of the Dingley
law are recited, together with the circu
lars and instructions Of the treasury de-
partment issued Hereunder. AS the Rus
sian government has been especially ir
ritated over the proceeding as to Russian
sugar imports into the United States, par
ticular attention is given to that subject
and reasons are adduced to bring the
Russian government to believe it should
remit the increased duties on American
goods.

NEW COMMERCIAL TREATY
Russia May Seek to Modify Existing
Relations.

Washington, June 22.-Diplomacy has
stepped in to heal the breach in the in
ternational relations of the United States
and Russia. AS a result Of the cabinet
meeting yesterday Secretary Hay will take
action to harmonic the conflicting views
of the two governments and, assisted by
Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador,
it is hoped that an amicable arrangement
can be reached.
These hopes are clouded, however, by
reports circulated yesterday that
because of the tariff policy of Secretary
Gage, Russia contemplates revision of
her commercial treaty with the United
States. This report is not confirmed, but
it Is suggested that the claim of the
secretary of the treasury that, in applying
retaliatory duties, Russia is violating her
treaty with this country, may influence
the st. Petersburg government to reach
this decision.
Rumors of serious differences of opinion
among members of the cabinet are Of
ficially denied, but it is known that some
of the presidents closest advisers regret
the attitude Mr.. Gage caused the United
States to assume and doubt the wisdom
of the application Of the countervailing
duties on Russian imports.

Seattle, Wash, June 22-Judge Noyes
may have made mistakes, and serious
ones, when he first came here, but since
he has become acquainted with the peo-
pies needs, he has given general satisfac-
tion and the decision of the court of ap-
peals of the ninth district came as a
shock to the community and was greatly
deplored by the conservative classes.
1t afforded occasion for Judge Noyes'
personal enemies to deride and
covertly abuse him, and it made the peo-
pie feel that the enemies of the laws
might get the upper hand.
The part of the decision relative to the
forbearanee of the people under the evils
described was quoted and distorted among
the miners until it was currently reported
that the miners would be justified by the
San Francisco court in shooting any one
jumping their claims. The cry was taken
up by a few that "Noyes will CO." and
speculation became rife as to what the
president would do.
There are, of course, some here who
desire the removal Of Judge Noyes. These
may be divided into two classes, those
who have some personal grievance and
those who expect to profit by the arrival
Of a new incumbent Of the office. The lat
ter class are by far the more numerous
and are from all conditions of men, rom
the dealer of "black jack game to the
practicing attorney before the court
Judge Noyes has been greatly harassed
by the carping and criticisms Of some OF
the latter, for they distort every decision,
misconstrue every ruling and impugn
every act Of his.
Had this decision of the court of appeals
been more moderate in its tone. rather
than abusive in its language, a better feel
ing would have prevailed throughout the
whole community and until the effect OF
that decision wears off, there will be
threats against law and order and com
plants against the court
The action of the attorney general in
considering the charges and forwarding
them to Judge Noyes is in accordance with
the wishes of the better element in the
community. Judge Noyes has been here
for year now and is conversant and ac-
quainted with the people and the general
course of litigation and with the advent of
new man all will have to be gone over
again.
The litigation is of a peculiar kind and
almost wholly devoted to possessery rights
and c0gnate questions. An ordinary law
yer coming from any or the states has
had no experience with such questions
as It is branch of law by itself and
many new questions arise to which nc
authorities In the books directly apply.
The majority Of the people feel that as
Judge Noyes has now faTniliarized himself
with these questions and his devotion to
his work and his integrity being ac-
knoWledged. he should be retained.

THE excellent diplomacy of this ad-

most nation in Chinese trade" said Mr..
Rittenhouse. Its policy has appealed to
all classes of Chinese in a way to greatly
increase American infence with Chinese
statesmen, which in addition to the per-
feet department Of our soldiders in the
orient, will result greatly to the advan-
tage of this country. Wherever they have
