DRESSING THE HANDS.
The Proper Thing in Gloves for the
Spring and Summer
Seasons.

White gloves have been in regular
fashionable standing for IL years
now, and by all signs and omens for
reading the future they are good for
another dozen years of modish pat
ronage. Very heavy cream-white
dogskin gloves are the choicest dress
for the hands in the morning. These
boast one button, not of the patent
clasp variety, and because they are
of the shape and color and easy wrin-
killed. fit of those worn by the small
Jehus who adorn the boxes of hand
some private carriages, they pass I'M
der the very descriptive title of
coachman's gloves, says a fashion au-
thority.
There is a gun-metal gray glace
glove, stitched in white, or silk, of the
same shade as the kid, and fastened
with large silver buttons, that strug-
giles with some success for recogni-
ton among the well-gowned shop
pers, who call them coaching gloves.
In reality, they are meant for wear
on the box seat of a trap and because
every woman does something more
or less athletic these days, the morn
ing gloves are as loose as the skin
on high-bred dogs back.
For afternoon and evening the
spring modes in gloves have novel
features. Pure white and very thin
suede, embroidered deliberately in
black or color, is of the novelties
novel. Embroidery is considered es-
pecially appropriate on the long
gloves. The needleworll begins at the
back of the hand, goes wreathing
gracefully around the arm and flow
ers out in a petal-shaped edging at
the end, somewhere in the region of
the shoulder. Some brave spirits are
exploiting with their black evening
gowns long black suede gloves bril-
liantly embroidered in silver, into the
mesh of which an occasional rhine
stone is woven.
With black gowns it is not at all
out of the way to wear giants de suede
in gun-metal color, enlivened by a
dazzling row of rhinestone buttons,
set in gun-metal frames and running
from the wrist nearly to the shout
der. White gloves of this same type
have been seen with little round bull
let turquoise buttons, and on the arm
a bracelet or two is worn, just to
show the glitter of the jewels against
the dusky kid surface.

MEMS MACMURRAGH. newly al

ITEMS MACMURRAGH, newly ar
IL rived, was standing in front
of the post office, near the corner
of Nassau and Liberty streets,
gazing about with bewildered in
decision. Two weeks before he
had left his quiet home in the
north of Ireland, and since then
his life had been an uninterrupt-
ed succession of wonderful sur
prises. But neither Belfast nor Liy-
erpool, nor his long journey across
the water had thrilled him as did this
hurrying, intense, absorbed mass of
humanity that was surging about
him. 1t fascinated even while il
caused him to draw back toward the
building, as though he feared to be
caught in it's relentless grasp and
borne away.
In his own home he had been ac-
customed to take off his hat to every
woman he met on the country roads,
and to wish them the "top of morn
ing" or the "luck of the day." or the
kind protection of some especially
benignant saint or fairy, but here
women seemed to be only an unrec-
ognized part of the confusing whole.
They hurried past the men, and the
men hurried past them, and they
crossed and recrossed with absolute
unconcern and apparent unconscious
ness of each others existence.
But even in this place of busy,
heterogeneous humanity the crowd
found time for more than one admir-

How Straight Is a Chinamana

A Chinaman is universally consid-
cred to be a liar. And so he is. But
after few years of initiation have
never found much difficulty in ex-
tracing the truth from any China
man, be he milkman or mandarin.
Not only so. l have always felt great
confidence in the truthfulness of my
own servants, though they often
popped out sundry lies. We have our
own lies-divorce court lies, club lies,
society lies, husband and wife lies,
and so on. The distinction is that
we lie with a different motive. \ =
A Chinaman is thought to be a thief.

itself through the crowd like a cata-

the policeman's shoulder and sent
him whirling out toward the middle

Cut Flower Hints,

An authority advises that the ends
of the stems of cut flowers should
not rest on the bottom of the vase,
and also that in the daily cutting
of the ends, which prolongs the life
of cut flowers, they should be
shipped at right angles to the stalk.
Cut flowers should never be placed
in a draught or in the direct sun
light, and if they can be removed
from the room in the evening, when
the gas is burning, they will keep
much longer.-N. Y. Post.

SAILOR AS A POLICEMAN.
Fails to Dispense with Seamnn's Yer.
nacuIar in Making an OIL
cial Report.

One was formerly truck driver,
but was promoted to the dignity of a
gripman on surface car, which may
in measure account for the fact
that the driver of the express van,
who had once been in the railroad
business himself, ran pell nell into
the car not far from the post office
one morning. The pole of the ex.
press wagon made a wreck of the side
of the car and one of the wheels OF
the wagon broke and another truck
hauled her off to the iunkshop, says
the New York Mail and Express. The
sergeant at a downtown police sta.
ton was figuring up his life insur-
ance policies when a tall, lank police.
man, who was originally sailor,
walked in and handed this slip:
shortly before eight bells this
morning a serious collision occurred
on Broadway north of Rector street.
A traction car with a full cargo Fof
passengers bound south was run into
by an express wagon, light, bound
north. The wagon struck the car on
the port side forward, the iibboom of
the truck going through the side of
the car. The upper works of the car
were carried away for a distance of
several feet, and, the wagon rebound
ing, the iibboom raled the car clear
fore and aft. Some of the passen-
gers were thrown to the deck and a
panic was narrowly averted by the
crew of the car The forward propel-
Ter of the truck on the port side was
carried away, and she careened by
the head, throwing the pilot to the
icy pavement. The truck was SUISSE
quently taken in tow by passing We

ualties."

said:

PrrTsBURG, Aug. l3-Neither side
moved decisively today Ia the great in
dustria conflict between the employers
aud employees in the steel trade, and
! the result is etll in the balance. The
strikers made gains at Pittsburg, Nc
Keesport, Wheeling and Bellare in the
| last twenty-iour hours, but in the main
the advantage is still with the mill
owners. Both sides claim to be pre-
pairing moves that will bring confusion
to the opponents, but neither side has
shown it's hand. The general situation
tonight can be briefly summarized as
follows: Ten men quit at the lower
union mill OF the Carnegie Company
a. Pittsburg and joined the strikers.
Their detection represents the first
break in the Carnegie forces Of more
than - 900 men. The strikers we're ju.
biant over the incident, but the com
pany claims TO have filed their places
at once. and that there would be no
more desertons at any more Of the
plants.
The Bellaire plant, in which the men
struck Sunday was finally closed down
today, working short handed until yes
terday afternoon. When another start
will be made is problematica. Several
hundred boys employed at the National
Tube Works at McKeesport went out
during the night and day, and their sc'
ton materially aided the effort of the
strikers to finally tie up the plant. The
works are going ahead short handed,
but the ranks OF the workers are thin
ming, and the supply OF material is linn
tied
The strikers made gains at Wheeling,
and the steel officials admitted today
that Benwood would be closed down.
The steel corporation has ordered that
the Charters plant at Carnegie be dis
mantled and removed TO Leechburg
So far good order has prevailed, al
though the steel officials assert that
there has been intimidation at Wheel
ing, Mckeesport and Pittsburg. Both
sides express their confidence of ulti-
m ste victory, and are carrying forward
their plans.
