COURT OF INQUIRY.
All Useless Ceremony VIII Be Adam
dOned During the Sittings
of the Members.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Although no
positive statement on that point is
made, it is gathered from the atti-
tude of the government officers that
they have no present intention of
calling Adm. Sampson.
While observing all the forms that
are necessary to maintain the dignity
of the court, there is no disposition
on the part of its members to try to
magnify its Importance by useless GER
emory. Therefore, there will be no
waste of gunpowder in salutes, nor
will the mariner be turned out in state
at the navy yard as the three admi-
rails make their way to and from the
building where the court will meet.
They go to the yard in plain clothing
and thus relieve the cOmmandant of
the necessity of ordering an official
salute. They wear the naval frock
coat and gold epaulettes and the serv-
ice sword. After the first day this
uniform will give place to the easier
though less impressive naval undress
uniform, Invested in large part of the
heavy gold trimming of the dress suit,
and even permitting the wearing of a
comfortable blouse.
At l o'clock the members of the
court were seated, Adm. Dewey at the
center of the table, placed crosswise
of the court room, with RI. Adm. Ben
ham on his right and RI. Adm. Howl
son on his left.
The witnesses stand at the left end
of the table; next the official stem
ographer and the judge advocate,
Capt. Lemly, with Solicitor Z. p. Han
ma, his associate in the case, occupy
the other end of the table.
The judge advocate first addressed
the court and read the precept under
which it is convened. The next step
was the recognition of counsel by the
court, and Capt. Lemly then intro
duced Mr.. Hulse as the official stem
ographer. Next came the most inter-
esting part of the days proceedings,
namely, the challenging by Adm.
Schley's counsel of the competency of
RI. Adm. Howison as member of the
court. They reiterated the charge
that Adm. Howison had expressed an
opinion adverse to Adm. Schley, and it
will be the object of counsel to sup
port this charge by affidavits, and per-
haps by oral testimony. 1t is for the
court to say whether such testimony
will be admitted. There will be no APP
peal from the decision of the court on
this point. Even the secretary of the
navy could not undo its work.

FRESH FASHION NOTES.
Some Of the Small Adjuncts to Ladies'
Costumes That Are Now
in Vogue.

The Latest tag ornaments are made
of coins or jewels in pear or round
shapes.
Genuine antique Persian brocade is
used for the fashionable little wrist
bags, with clasps of carved oxidized
silver set with coral.
Velvet in floral patterns will be
used as applique trimming in the au-
tumn instead of the cretonne strips
that have been so much in demand
this summer, writes fashion author
ity.
A touch of scarlet introduced in hat
or gown trimming is Partisan fancy
for late summer and fall.
Buttons, stitching and strappings
are noticeable adjuncts in the deco
ration of the new yachting costumes.
Shaded materials are coming into
vogue again.
Black and pale blue is a combina-
ton that this season has divided IA
voT with the ever popular black and
white
Chiffon wells are much in evidence,
but more as hat trimming than for
face protection. They are generally
dotted, and the favorite colors are
white, blue, gray, black or brown.
The newest millinery ornaments
are of gun metal, studded with cut
steel or rhinestones. Cut jet COM
bined with gold will also be used for
hat decoration during the coming sea-
son.
For men travellers a housewife"
has been designed, which consists of
a handy leather case, containing
needles, thread, buttons and scissors.
The case can be rolled into compact
form and carried in the pocket.
The automobile cockade is the
latest fad in hat trimming and is seen
to special advantage on shirt waist
models. The cockade consists of
many loops of chenille or narrow
width ribbon.
The Louis XIV. and long loose coats
give opportunity for the use of large,
fancy buttons and for the inside vest
small, dainty ones may be utilized.
1t is predicted that old-fashioned
brocades will be introduced this sea-
son, at least brocaded effects in silk.
Taffeta chiffon, which combines the
qualities of both these fabrics and
louisine, are favored silks.
Apricot, a soft and generally be-
coming tint, is much worn in Paris
and in combination with creamy lace
and a touch of black velvet it is ex-
ceedingly effective.
Biscuit-colored point d'esprit gowns
with large collars or fichus, trimmed
with lace, are delightfully."- cool for
these sultry August days. The es-
sential note of black is introduced by
means of black velvet or tulle choux
on the bodice and transparent yoke
of fine black lace threaded with black
bebe velvet ribbon. The belt is often
of black taffeta, finished with three
tiny steel buckles.

USES FOR OLD TABLEcLoTHs.
There Are Many Ways in Which the
WOrn-Out Covers May BE
Turned to Account.

When t&blecloths are past service
for their original purpose, they are
invaluable till reduced to rags in a
more humble capacity. Cut into con-
venient pieces about twice as long as
they are wide and hem-you will find
that by the addition of a row of ma
chine stitching they rise greatly in
the social scale, and are no longer to
be treated as "old pieces of cloth"
and will receive the respect and care
given to other kitchen towels. Moth
ing else is so good to absorb moist
ure quickly and thoroughly. After
washing lettuce, place the leaves in
one of these linens doubled, take it
by the four corners and shake, then
fold in another dry one and lay in
the ice box; this is far more expedi-
tious than to dry one leaf at time.
They fill a 'long-felt want" for alb
sorbing the water from potato strips
which have been soaking for some
hours, in the process toward appear
ing as French fried" and potatoes
which are wiped before being put into
the oven will bake in an appreciably
shorter time, says Good Housekeep-
ing.
Onto several thicknesses of linen
which has been reposing in the warm
ing closet, our asparagus goes
straight from the kettle, as the
easiest way to drain it before season
ing. I roll parboiled meats-roe or
sweetbreads, and the like-in the
fresh folds of one of these pieces
and find it a great help to have them
so far prepared for the broiling or
frying which follows. Smaller pieces
become a necessity to the cook after
she has once used them to wipe meat
or fish which is to be rolled in egg
and crumbs, and finds that the crust
will adhere to the food instead of re-
naming in the saute pan. Their soft
ness makes them the handiest things
imaginable to introduce into the ir-
regular interior anatomy of game or
poultry, a duty which should not be
neglected before stufing.

NEGOTIATIONS Off.
Last Efforts to Settle the Big Steel
Strike Have Failed.
The Semi-OmciaI Report Is That the
Matter of arranging For a Settle
ment Was Left With Presi-
dent TkeO. j. ShaGer.

Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 1O.-The last
efforts to settle the steel strike have
failed. The general executive board
of the Amalgamated association ad-
iourned Monday evening without
date and without either accepting
any of the peace propositions which
have come indirectly from the Unit
ed States steel corporation or making
any counter propositions, according
to the official statement.
The semi-Official report is that tie
proposition secured for the Amalga-
mated association through the inter-
gention Of the representatives of the
National Civic Federation was unsat-
isfactOry and that the entire matter
of arranging for a settlement was
left with President Theodore j. Shat
fer. The board in its sessions of
three days has been clamoring for a
settlement, but satisfactory terms
and means were not at hand and the
sessions resolved themselves into an
informal discussion of the situation
At the close of the meeting of The
national executive board Monday
evening President Shaffer declared
that he had no statement TO make,
bnt subsequently said: "The board
las adjourned, and the out-of-town
members will probably leave for their
homes Monday night. No peace prop
osition has been received and none
made"
Still later he added that he or TO
other member of the board would
go to New York during the night
to submit peace proposition, saying
that he would be at headquarters
as usual Tuesday.
The meeting of the board did not
adjourn in high good feeling, yet
the members of the board were ayerse
to making statements supplemented
to that of President Shaffer.
1t was stated by some of the men,
bers Of the board that the adjourn
ment had left matters practically as
they were before the meeting h3d
been called, and that the strike mist
go on as before, leaving arrangements
for a possible settlement through
coveted direct conference between
the representative of the United
States steel corporation and Presi-
dent Shaffer

and Met a Warm Reception BY
the Citizens.

Chicago, Sept. 11.-Four hundred
DOwieites invaded Evanston Tuesday
night and dedicated their tabernacle
in that suburb. When their special
train started back to Chicago they
were given a parting volley of rocks,
eggs and decayed fruit, which broke
six car windows and injured two of
the party. a number of the others
were sPattered with eggs.
1t was only the fact that the Dowie,
ties thought better of their de-
termination to hold an outdoor meet
irg, and to the excellent protection
they received from the police, that
prevented them from being mobbed.
