House Gowns.
From Harper's BaZar.

From Harper Bazar
Gowns to wear in the house are so essen
TALLY feminine and dainty this season it is
small wonder that much time, thought and
expense are expended them. They are
so different from the street costumes and
allow for so much more exercise Of indi-
vdual taste that women take an especial in
telest in them. They are not necessarily
expensive especially this year. In this re-
spect they differ from the street gowns.
which call for perfection of workmanship
as we'll as good fit. House gowns the
term used this time including tea gowns
include the gowns that are worn in the
house or that are smart enough to wear to
an afternoon reception to the theater
but are too elaborate in design or too light
in color or texture for street wear A very
good model for one of these gowns Is made
with a long skirt and has no trimming
whatever, but in front and at the sides are
rows of narrow tucks put into form a yoke
shape. stitched down that they give no
unnecessary fullness. and yet make the
skirt hang well. With this skirt is worn a
smart blouse of lace or satin, embroidered
net. jetted or spangled, and with a basque
that is longer in front than back. A yoke
OF tucked chiffon and jet embroidery, and
u belt and sash of chiffon, add to the soft
effect of the gown, while the undersleeves
of chiffon are gathered into a band of en-
broidery at the wrist.

SALT NOT A CURE-ALL.
What In One Mans Meat Is Another
Mans Poison.

What IL One Mans Meat Is Another
Mans Poison.
From the New York Tribune
The usefulness Of saline preparations In
the treatment of certain physical conditions
was widely recognized by the medical pro-
fession years ago, but no doctor OF sound
mind believes that any new elixir Of life''
has been discovered in salt combinations or
in anything else. Who was the ancient sage
who said Zone mans meat Is another
mans poison?' Various salts may. of
course, be beneficial to one patient and in
furious to another but no sodium COM
pounds, chlorides or phosphates Will cure
everybody General Pleasonton thought at
Of long life and the universal healer in ex-
posture to sunlight Ipassang through blue
glass. For several years In the seventies the
blue glass craze hadia wonderful ularl-
ty in New York and other cities, ana azure
tinted windows and glass rooms on roofs
were plentiful in the Murray Hill quarter OF
Manhattan. That delusion died away, and
all the experiments in stimulating motion
in the hearts Of dead turtles by salt satura-
ton will soon be forgotteM
The ablest physicians in this country and
everywhere else are Always glad TO test
thoroughly any new preparation which
may help their patiepts, and they certainly
have no prejudices against any saline mix
lures or amalgamations which may give
promise of usefulness. But the average
man or woman should not take up an ex-
elusive diet of corned beef and salt pork or
increase extensively the daily consumption
of salt in any form without consulting
competent medical adviser. Salt will not
transform extreme age into lusty youth, as
Mephistopheles transformed Faust nor will
1t prolong life to q hundred years, even If it
is absorbed In profusion AS a western
humorist remarked, Lots wife is not now
living. But surely there was no lack Of salt

Exciting Finish Expected Of Bos-

BOWLING LEAGUE GAMES

Mr.. Charles W. somers of the Cleveland
base ball team Of the American League
spent yesterday in Baltimore in consulta-
ton with Manager John McGraw. Both
stated that their talk simply bore on the
working out of some minor details for the
organization of the league on new and
broader lines.
Mr.. Somers said that he expected at any
time to receive a call for a meeting of the
league to take place in Chicago. Somers
was quite certain that Chicago, and not
Philadelphia, VIII be selected as the next
meeting place for the American League, al
though McGraw has all along been in favor
of either Baltimore or Philadelphia. Mr..
Somers passed through New York and
Philadelphia on his way to Baltimore. and
will probably come to this city before leav-
ing for the west. The American League is
having trouble in obtaining the ground in
Philadelphia formerly used by the Ath-
letics 1t is city property and an ord-
nance permitting its use is hanging fire In
the councils of Philadelphia Several of the
politicians are pursuing filibustering tactics,
and the impression among base ball people
is that the ways of legislation need some
financial .'greas;ng." The continued delay
about the Philadelphia grounds, which are
located at jefferson and 10Th streets is al
legged to be the result of objections to the
plan by people who live in the vicinity OF
the proposed base ball park.
baltimore Club Incorporated.
Tie company that is to control the Balti-
more franchise in the American League was
organized yesterday. with capital stock OF
$4,000, divided into 400 shares at $1Co per
share The shareholders, who are also to
be the incorporators, are John j. McGraW.
Wil0ert Robinson, Harry Goldman, James
P. Shannon. Sydney S. Frank. S. Miles
Brnkley, Rev. John d. Boland, Judge Con-
way Sans.
The gentlemen named are nearly the same
who backed up Robinson and McGraW IN
their efforts last season to float an Amerl-
can Association with a club in that city.
The concern will be known as the Ba't-
more Base Ball and Amusement Company.
1t will be recalled that when this company
was organized last year a lease on Union
Park was secured prior to the claims OF
the old company, that was then on the
verge of making a deal to sell out to the
National League. Before the sale could be
made it was necessary to have undlsputed
control of Union Park and to secure this
the Old company paid to the new company
bonus large enough to pay all the expenses
of the new company and to provide an ex-
cellent banquet.

AN UNDECIDED QUESTION.
The Controlling Influence in North ern Pacific May Not Develop
 Till the Fall EeIection

New York, May 28.-Interest in the question as to whether or not the control of the Northern Pacific road changed hands at the time of the re- cent corner in the stock was revived by the circulation of report that the Union Pacific syndicate bought some time ago all the Northern Pa citic holdings of Edward D. Adams. In addition it was said that Mir Adams. who is a member of the company's board of directors and executive com mittee, went short of the stock from 5000 to 1000 shares and was one of those forced to settle at a high price after the pushing through of the corner Mir. Adams was regarded as the representative of the Deutsche- bank of Berlin in the Northern Pa cific, but a recent dispatch from Ber- lin denied that the banks holdings had been sold.
 Neither of the contestantsin North ern Pacific has been willing to make any statement, recently, concerning the control of the property, and it is thought no official announcement will be made before the annual meeting in the fall for the election of direc- tors
