An Objection Sustained.

conversation on the part of Commo-
dore Schley during the engagement.

served the Iowa would blank the fire

ceeding with this statement when
counsel for Admiral Schley raised an
objection because the witness could
not say whether the commodore had
overheard the conversation.
The court withdrew to decide the
point at issue, and upon returning
announced that the objection had
been sustained.
The witness then stated that the
commander in chief had addressed
him later telling him to "Starboard
the helm" adding "And let us get
out of this" but he found when he
started to give the order that it was
already being executed. from which
he had inferred that the order had
already been given to the captain of
the ship.
The witness also said that when
Commodore Schley first came aboard
he had said that it was his intention
to take the bombarding ships by
slowly and to have them fire DELHI
erately, 80 as to sink the Colon at
her mornings" This intention had
not been carried out, he said, as the
ships had passed the mouth of the

possible to get good pointings.

THE WATER ANTELOPE.
Singular Animal Found By q Portu-
xuese Explorer In the Wilds
Of Central Africa.

One Of 1.-TWO Strange Animals" de-
scribea in St. Nicholas by John &.
Coryell, is the water-antelope.
OF course the air belongs to the
birds, and the water belongs to the
fishes, and the earth belongs to the
mammals; but Notwithstanding this
easy division of the elements among
the animals, it seems as if no species
was willing to stay always in the ele-
ment best suited to it. There are fish,
for example, which not only fly in the
air, but even take long walks over
land. Birds, as everybody knows, walk
on land and swim on and under water.
As for mammals, there are the whales,
which live always in the water, the
seals, which live most of the time in
the water, the appropriateness, which
live on land or in the water, as they
please, and the flying squirrels, which
fearlessly invade the air.
But besides these instances, which
are so well-known that they no longer
surprise us, there are others which
are new and unexpected. Who can
imagine the antelope otherwise than
slender Of limb, graceful Of movement
and feet Of foot? Why, we never think

FASHIONS FANCIES.
Features of the Latest in HcAdv ear
Pretty Details of Fall
Costumes.

A modish hat that is attracting at
tention this season is made up OF tiny
feathers, pasted together on stiff
Foundations. These hats are OF one
color or shade in a variety OF t1nts.
Many of them are in brown, which
seems to be the most popular color.
Silks and soft ribbons make up the
trimmings for such hats, says the New
York Tribune.
The new shaped toques with brims
turning up on each side are to be ex-
tremely fashionable. Twisted cords
of chenille are used generally as a
trimming, as is also heavy velvet cord
ing, to adorn the upturned parts OF the
brim. Little toques of gathered velvet
are likewise much in vogue, and to
some faces these are wonderfully be-
coming.
A fanciful belt just now making its
appearance has the buckle at one side
of the waist instead of directly in
front. Leather or corded satin is the
material most frequently chosen.
Women of fashion are adopting the
so-called "dog collar" quite generally y
and it's becoming character commends
it to all classes. 1t is neckband OF
velvet or even of soft leather, OVERLAND
with fligree work of gold or silver,
or ornamented with jeweled nails. Its
name is derived from the fact that the
collar fastens much in the style OF a
harness or real dog collar buckle, some
of them showing tiny paddock. In
Paris this fad has already spread
rapidly.
Jackets with fitted backs are to be
most in request this fall, the longer
coats having extra full skirts. The
revers, too, instead of being fiat as be-
fore are blocked, which is new fea-
ture, and attractive because of the
graceful effect when either buttoned
or unbuttoned.
Women's pajamas are one of the
novelties of the day. They are made
up in fancy and figured nainsook.
Some of the materials are particularly
attractive, being sprinkled all over
with tiny silk figures. The pajamas
seen thus far are mostly imported, but
it is expected that patterns OF Amer
ican make will soon appear.
Collars of silk and lace are dainty
in the extreme, and are being chosen
for all sorts of occasions. It is new
idea to make a collar of tucked white
taffeta and trim it with ecru lace. The
ecru is not monopolizing popular IA
vor so thoroughly now as during the
summer, other styles being equally
feasible, but it is still much worn, and
adds charming effectiveness when
used with white.

INCREASING CHURCH FUNDS.
Queer Method Suggested by an Eng

His Treasury.

Clergymen in charge Of small and
poor congregations frequently find
themselves hampered by want of
funds with which to carry on their
work, but it is doubtful if even from
tier missionary, who is generally ac-
knowledged to be the most hampered
Of American ministers, would adopt
the method for increasing his re-
sources which an English parson is re-
ported to have pursued. This clergy
man is in charge of church at Mill
wall and is quoted as offering to give
any West end church thorough
spring cleaning, Nhe payment to go to
his own church funds. In his letter
announcing his offer the clergyman

HYGIENIC CARE OF CLOTHING.
Important Points That Should he
Carefully Observed When Put
ting Garments Away.

Many people who pay great atten-
ton to cleanliness from the sanitary
point of view, who lay much stress
upon the proper ventilation of their
rooms and are careful to battle often,
are yet found wanting in one most inn
portant particular-that is, the hy-
gienic care of clothing, especially outer
clothing, says Youths Companion.
Undertaking goes frequently to
the laundry and is not, therefore. tho
text of these remarks. But many peo-
pie, otherwise scrupulous in their per-
,sonal hygiene, will come in from a
long, hot and dusty journey, remove
warm, perspiration-soaked dress or
coat, and hang it at once in close.
dark closet, or place in the same re-
ceptacle skirt that has been for
hours gathering up the filthy sweep
ings of streets and cars. 1t is small
wonder that the average wardrobe
should give out a most disagreeablo
odor when the door has been closed
for a short time.
All outer clothing, especially if Of
WOODEN material, should be hung up
in current of fresh air to dry and cool
before being put away. Dress shields,
the Innings of women's collars and the
binding of skirts should be often re-
newed.
The trick OF giving hasty brush to
the bottom of skirt in the house-too
often in the bedrooms q dangerous
and disgusting one. Skirts, even when
they are not allowed to sweep the
pavements, cannot fail to be laden with
dust mixed with disease-causing bac-
terra, and the same is true, to less
degree, of the bottoms of meas trous~
erS.
When skirts are allowed TO trail-a
preposterous fashion, happily subsid-
ing for the present-their state at the
end of few blocks beggars the imag-
nation. The unfortunates to whom
their care is intrusted should be in
structed to clean them in the open
air, and preferably upon the roof.
Some people are afflicted with nat
urally strong and disagreeable odor
of the perspiration. In some cases this
Is caused by i'll health, but In many,
perhaps most, cases, it is natural to
the sufferer, and can only be overcome
in a measure by extreme care OF the
person and attention to the bath.
Sponging the body, before getting into
the tub, with water containing few
drops OF ammonia or solution OF
borax will be found useful in this con-
dition. 4........
Frequent change of clothing will be-
necessary, and "dress shields" should
be worn by all who have this uapleas-
ant infirmity, men as well as women,
and the same suit or dress should never
be worn on two consecutive days In
deed, for every one, for clothes and
shoes alike, the alternate day system
is both clearly and economioal-one
day for wearing, one day for airing.
