ter the shooting. She declares the
shooting occurred in a struggle for pos
session of the revolver.

as the old Ohio could sail with favor
ing winds.
The wooden walls of the first Ohio
would be splintered into fragments
by single shot from the new vessel,
while all the guns of the old vessel
that could be brought to bear could
no more injure the sides of the new

Nothing so vividly illustrates the
marvellous advance that has neen made
in the art of naval construction and
naval warfare in the past four-score
years as the contrast between these
two vessels.
Nor would it be strange if, after the
lapse of another eighty years. the
parallel then made would be as much
to the disadvantage of Ohio II. as il
Is now to Ohio |. Progress is now ad-

The great thing at the moment in

who can develop that alluring character

To return to our muttons. that 10, to

the new fashions OF wearing the hair
originated with Mrs. Tommy" Taller, I
am told, whom it suits tremendously.
Mrs. Taller parts her hair IN the center
OF her head, and has it dressed low on
her neck and very full and wavy on the
sides, almost coucesling her ears. On
the top Of her head, we'll forward, a lit
tie to one side. Mrs. Taller wears one
huge rose Of whatever color best suits
her frock, and several sprays OF roee-
leaves.

initiated widely, but scarcely success

the same type OF beauty. Miss Potter
wears her flower-the other night it
was a huge silver rose-very much on
the side-quite over the ear-vhich
gives her Caruenesque as we'll as
picturesque air.
Diamonds have never been so much
worn in the hair as now, nor have they
ever been so artistically and becomingly
set.
Really. the safest thing for the aver
age woman, endeavoring to look her
best, is, when it comes to having her
hair dressed for the evening. to decide
on diamonds or nothing.
Anything mediocre in fashion nova
days is simply hopeless.
Lady Cunard wears her hair high

COMES FROM N

Washington, March 1S.-General
Macarthur will remain in command of
the Philippines until the civil govern
e is established. That the War
Department expects such n govern
ment to he established within the next
we months is evident, as it has been
determined that General Chaffee will
succeed General Macarthur as COM
mnndcr of the forces in the Philip
pines. General Chaffee and his force
in China will said from I'aku about
the last of April. He ranks General
Macarthur and would naturally be in
command, but if the civil government
is not established in that time Gen
eral Macarthur will continue TO be the
military governor and commander.
The War Department feels very con
fidcnt that civil government will be
successfully established md that the
hard fighting for the army is practical
lS mt an end. The dispatch from Gen
eral Macarthur to-day is regarded as
very encouraging. No information
has been received at the department
either through military or unofficial
channels regarding Aguinaldo. but the
impression prevails that he is dead or
has disappeared to some of the very
remote Islands, seeking safety.
