ROYAL DRESS REFoRMER.

Princess d'Ysemburg Despises the
Corset, but Favors short skirts.
Dress reformers have found new

the sister Of Henry XXI, prince OF

dresses should attempt to f1t the figure,
but fall straight from the shoulders.
The skirts are not to reach the an
kles, no heels are to be worn, and shoes
should be as open as sandals. The
neck is to be absolutely bare Of any
kind Of collar or covering, and, above
all, wells Of any kind are to be abjured.

company her doctrines by a portrait Of

INDIANS PLAN IRRIGATION.

They Secure Number of Pl0ws and
Astonish the Inspector.
+ Recently requisition was received
at the Sioux Indian supply depot at
Omaha for large number Of plows,
says the Chicago Inter Ocean. AS this
was the second request for this imple-
ment received within a short time an
investigation was ordered by the SUI
perintendent.
The first lot Of plows had been re-
ceived all right and had been used to
prepare theis lands for irrigation, as
the agent had told them that cheap
big crops" could be raised by watering
their lands. On being asked to show
the inspector the bitches and reser-
voir they proudly led him to large
dam. built where the stream was mar
row, and so high that all the surround
ing country was inundated. The back
Of the dam was composed Of new
plows. They had used the entire ship
ment for the purpose. And now the
Indians at Standing Rock agency are
undoing their fall work.

Mr.. eARRETT's DENIAL.
Mexican Paper Said He Came Home
Dissatisfied.

Freeport, Ills, Dec. Regarding
the statement of 81 Tempo, a Mexican
newspaper, that John Barrett, delegate
of the United States to the Pan+Amer-
lean conference, had returned to Wash
ington because the Latin countries did
not show docility in accepting the
leadership of the United States, Mr..
Barrett, who has just arrived here
from Mexico, said:
"Such a report is too ridiculous to
require specific denial. It is an ex-
ample of the methods of the anti
American element of the Latin press
to discredit the conference, or it is
one of those foolish stories about
American politics that sometimes orig.
mate, nobody knows how, in foreign
capitals. have returned to the United
States by express permission of Sec
rotary Hay to attend to certain per-
sonal business matters requiring atten-
ton, and can add that the Pan-Amer-
lean conference, even if it does not
accomplish all that could be desired,
will undoubtedly have promoted the
friendship existing between the United
States and her sister republics"

ROOSEVELT WAS SURPRISED
Heartily Welcomed an Indiana Man
Who Did Not Want Something.

Heartily Welcomed an Indiana Man
Who Did Not Want Something.
Clarence Kenyon OF indianapolis re-
Gently attracted attention in Washing
ton as "a man from Indiana who did
not want anything" says the Indian
apolis News. With Senator Beveridge,
personal friend, he called on the pres
ident, to whom he was presented by
the senator.
II just wanted to shake your hand, :"
said Mr.. Kenyon to the president. 81
am from Indiana, but do not want any
thing either for myself or for my.
friends"
''Mr. Kenyon" the president said, 81
am truly glad to meet you, and will
say that it is refreshing to meet a
man who does not come to ask for
something"
Then President Roosevelt began to
ask questions about the various appli-
cations for the federal circuit judge
ship, the call having been made prior
to the appointment Of a judge. The
usual company of newspaper men
were lounging about the reception
room when Senator Beveridge and Mr..
Kenyon emerged from the presidents
room.
Senator, who's your friend?" one o.,
them asked with the familiarity of j
Washington correspondent.
Gentlemen" replied the Junior SEN
ator, this is my friend Mr.. Kenyon
of Indiana
what does he want?" came an In
curry from another part Of the room.
II am glad to say, gentlemen" said
the senator, smiling, "he is an appli-
cant for no place, either for himself or
his friends"
'sWell, for heavens saker' came an
exclamation from correspondent who
had been sitting quietly in a corner Of
the room. "A man from Indiana who
doesn't want anything! Let me see
him."

the cause Of much worry and severe
financial loss to artists and managers,
Mr.. Frohman applied for a policy in
the British Lloyd's. Such a proposition
was new to the agents In New York,
but they cabled to their home Office in
London and received permission to ac-
cept it.
Mr.. Frohman explained that six per-
sons, including his valet and personal
manager, have the care Of Herr Kube-
Xix constantly, but even their watchful-
ness is not sufficient guarantee against
accident. 7t win be remembered that
when Mr.. Joseffy first came to Chick
ering. hall, In New York, and made a
sensation a felon on his thumb inter-
rupted his engagement. Mr.. Josef Hof-
mann fell from his bicycle and hurt
his hand under similar circumstances.
Messrs. Ole Bull, Wienawsh and Pa
derewski were also subject to acct
dents that interfered with their tours.

FRANCE AND VENEZUELA.
Another Complication Between the
Two Countries.

Another Complication Between the
Two Countries.
New York, Dec. 27.-Another com.
plication has arisen between, France
and Venezuela, says the Port of Spain,
Trinidad, correspondent of The Her
aid. This new grievance arises from
the seizure of the properties OF, Senior
Manuel A. Matos, an alleged leader Of
the new Venezuelan revolution and a
man of wealth. Senior Matos leased
part of his properties to M. Secrestat
of Bordeaux for two years under the
Venezuelan civil code, which permits
such a transaction to be effected with
out the necessity Of registering the
documents. ~ the seizure Of the
leased properties, President Castro HIS
deprived M. Secrestat of their revenue
and use. The French government has
notified President Castro of the in
fringement of M. Secrestat's rights.
France has made complete investiga-
ton Of the matter and it. Is claimed
that the demand, even under the Ven.
ezuelan laws, is well founded.

They are telling a story Of William

Boston Herald.

/ 'consufS wife through the same ~
deal, as If she were a common immi-
grant.
x OF course with people as sensitive
as the japanese such a thing ranked
as almost nothing else would. The
japanese government took prompt no.
tice of it, but not until ours, forecast
ing the turn matters would take, had
issued 3 reprimand to the officer cone
cerned and prepared a suitable apoloA
gy. Unfortunately for the young sur
geon, his case came up for review be-
fore the new president, who is less dis
posed than his predecessor to regard
bygoneS as bygones when he feels that
q duty still remains to be performed,
and bis decision was promptly reached
that the young man had not been pun
ished enough. He accordingly ordered
that the surgeon be suspended from
duty for six months and be transferred
to another and less desirable station.
The whole marine hospital service
felt the force of this blow, for the case
of the offending surgeon was very well
known among his brother officers. He
had married within a little while and
settled down in home where he ex-
pected to stay for some time and had
sent for his parents to come and live
with him. His pay was small. The ex-
penses Of putting his household in or
der had been heavy and a larger outlay
yet would be involved in pulling every
thing to pieces and moving off to some
other quarter of the earth. But the
greater hardship and the more faInil-
lar the case the stronger the reason in
the presidents judgment why severe
penalty should be inflicted as warn
ing to other revenue marine surgeons
and health officers generally that they
must season their professional yigor
with the salt of common sense and
never allow themselves to become too
busy to be considerable. 1t Is safe to
say that, much as he loves the army
and navy, President Roosevelt will be
the most merciIess disciplinarian ever
seen in the White House when an off,
Ger Of either service becomes involved
in scandal rejecting discredit on his
calling. The uniform of the United
States will have to be kept clear of
moral smirches and the record Of the
men who wear it free even from the
gross plumbers which are often as bad
as crimes while Mr.. Roosevelt remains
the dispenser Of discipline
