AS VIEWED IN ENGLAND.
John Burns, Labor Leader, Forecasts
an American ArmagedOn.

New York, July 1s.-The steel
strike in America is attracting much
attention in England generally, and
while long articles are being printed
in the newspapers on the subject, no
comment is made in the editorial col
umns, according TO the London corrs'
spondent Of the Tribune.
John Burns has been less reticent,
for he forecasts an American Ar
magedon with the revival of the old
anti-slavery feeling, and the trans
formation of trusts into state organi-
zatlons by the political power OF
hordes of workingmen.
Financiers watch the quotations
from Wall street, and are unmoved
bv sociallstic trades. Combinations
are felt to be on trial in America, and
if they survive the great conflict with
organized labor concentration OF capt.
tai will be promoted in England.

district, in an addresse to the mill
men declared that the mill would be
run as non-uuior MILL He gave or
ders for the mill to start. In re-
sponse to Smiths order, about 80 men
went out to work. Two Of them were
members Of tie Amalgamated asso-
ciation. The manager of the mill con-
cuded that 30 men was not sufficient
to man the crews, and the attempt
for the present has been abandoned.

of an exciting nature can be expected,

at work at the Devices Wood plant Of

Keesport, clearing up and making re-
pairs, and well-dehncd rumor Is
prevalent on the South Side of this
city that an effort will be made by the
mill officers in the Painter plant to
break the strike by bringing workers
here from Kansas City.

In confirmation Of this, for the first
time since the strike began, watch.
men arrived with clubs, and patrollc1
all sides Of the mill. None OF the
strikers were 20 be seen about the
property and everything was quiet
The mill oi,iccrs declined to discuss
this matter, and said when they are

out any noise. For the present moth
ing was being done beyond cleaning
up The mills, and making repairs that
hnd been neglected owing TO the rush
of business. The Wood plant Is close'

Crops of all kinds have been dam

many sections, and all corn will be a
failure if rain does not fan soon. Cot
ton has been badly injured in most
sections, and is generally suffering

Packers Opinion.
Says c. w. Armour, speaking Of the
cattle trade: I'VE have got along so
far without much loss. The disaster
has not been general. From central
and eastern Kansas, from eastern Ok
lahoma and the the Indian territory
and from Missouri cattle have been
| forced TO market because Of the the
drought, but the northwest has grass
to put them on, and their purchases
have relieved the situation and fore
stalled a congestion of beef. No cat
tie has been sent from Texas, nor will
any come so long as the drought re-
gion is shipping. They have had fair
rains down there. Thirty days long
er, ! should say, tse range men can
go without any calamity assailing

TO VICAR ~ @

Pockets are to be seen in some Of
the trim little fall suits.
Double-breasted jackets will be
worn in the fall, if the first notes prove
true.
Experts are predicting that the nu.
merOus sashes worn are the forerun-
ners of gowns with drapery.
Necklaces ana tiaras are made to
match and pendants to the former are
set in the same style as the points Of
the latter.
A parasol to be carried with a
mourning costume Is Of heavy corded
black silk, and set at intervals with
inch wide folds Of Grape.
A pretty linen gown Of gray is
trimmed with mauye bands, each
finished with mother OF pearl buckles.
The waist worn with it Is of mauve
batiste.
Neat little suits are made with
bodice pointed back and front, and a
plain, narrow little vest of some light
material, il the suit is dark, buttoning
simply up the front.
Ii is well to keep wash ribbons in
mind il one has no objection to the
expense, for there are many pretty
ways in which they can be utilized.
For more fanclful bathing suits the
ribbons are servfceable.
The tinest possible white enamel
buttons appear as "A trimming on the
back of evening gloves between rows
Of stitching; they appear, also, dotted
all over collars ana belts or are dis
posed in groups or lines.
With light gowns the latest fancy
for wraps Is long scarf of mOusseline
de sole, cither plain or in fancy de-
sign. This is usually tied in a large,
soft bow just over the bust, and-the
ends fall TO the hem of the skirt.
There are long pointed sleeves in
the first fall designs, which are ap-
pearlng, sleeveless, also very full. The
regular sleeve in some cases Is fulled
out into a deep pun on the forearm
before 1t is, gathered in at the wrist.
Fobs and fob chains have the gold
in open-work designs Where hereto
fore the gold around the fob was solid,
now the stone is connected Nlth the
loop by which it is hung on the chain
by prongs and the chain is similarly
openwork .-

Apron For Use In tho kitchen.

The best apron for occasional use In
the kitchen is made OF straight lengths
of gingham sewed together in a piece
wide enough to easily envelope the
figure. The bottom and sides are
hemmed. Openings are cut at the top
for the arms the two sides being con-
nected over the shoulder by a double
bias band, The neck, both back and
front, is straight and is gathered into
n facing. The distance between the
openings for the arms should be deter
mined by the width required at the
foot Of the skirt. Three or four but
tons and buttonholes close the back.
The beauty Of these aprons is that
while they are quickly made they pro
tect the gown at the back as well as at
the front, and prevent the waist from
being spattered while beating eggs,
batter, cream and the like.

The GARLAND Of FIowers.

A garland of flowers is the latest
idea for table decoration, says the Lon
don Graphic The flowers should be
OF different kinds, somewhat resem-
bling the wreaths we see in old china,
in which roses are intermixed with
convolvuli, marguerites and forget-me-
nots. The garland is placed where
the edge of the table centre would be
were table centres still in fashion
The foliage is arranged in the first in
stance, long wreath of ferns or smi-
lax, and the bouquets are wired to-
gether and lightly laid on the top. The
garland is sometimes completed by a
true lovers knot at one side, made Of
pale blue ribbons.

The Screen as a Decoration.

"Art screens are among the de-
mands of the modish furnishing, and
not only the screens themselves, but
effective screening is carefully consid-
cred by the tasteful furnisher.
Ii was long time ago that cele-
brated decorator insisted that screens
should not be placed--they should
"occur." No article Of furniture so
readily lends itself to decoration or is
so useful for filing up an odd or ugly
corner and for cutting off a draft. The
screen may be made of anything that
Is decorative and that can he tackled
upon n frame. from bit of pasted
Japanese paper to rare old scrap of
Spanish leather.
1t should always be borne in mind
that a screen is properly a decoration;
and, except i'm the case where it is a
door screen, which fits tightly into its
frame and stays in one place, it should
not be a picture. A finished. ambi-
tiOus picture deserves a good light.
1t rs undignified if it is not in appro-
pirate surroundings. and these cannot
always be had for the movable screen.
The screen should itself be of the char
aCter of background. Its colors
must be soft, its designs purely decor
ated, and, at any angle it should be a
pleasing object for the eye to rest
upon.
