ways charming. This very attractive gown
shows the material in lettuce green, with
trimming OF cream lace, yoke and cuffs of

OF the latest and is desirable for all piable
fabrics.
The waist is made over a fitted lining that
closes at the center front. while the waist
proper closes invisibly beneath the box
plait. Both front ana backs are plated for
their entire length. The fronts are gath
cred at the waist line 10 produce becoming
folds, but the piaits of the back leave no
fulness and are arranged on lines that
give the desired tapering effect. The square
yoke is attached 10 the lining at the right
side and closed with the waist at the left

upper portions are box-plaited from the

FOR COMMANDER.IN-CHIEF.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The near
approach of the annual session of the
National Encampment G. A. r., at Wash
ingtOn, ID. c.. must, no doubt, admOnish
its representatives of its manifold duties,
not the least being the selection of its
standard-bearer for 1902-3.a

late itself on the aggregation Of worthy
and acceptable material! offered by the sew
eral Departments. They hire comrades of
good report and Grand Array experience.
Their Departments have offered them, ear
nestly setting forth their Claims, and will
use all honorable means to- elect them
We would like to vote for all Of them,

We who have no Department interest
or pride at stake havef our individual

ment Of the rank and file tOf those who
have kept tab on him for rthepast 30 years
that Comrade John McElrey, of the De-
partment of the Potomac. who is in direct
line of promotion, is nearer in touch with
us at this time. He is so situated as to
be regarded as friend in court ut the

be unimpeachable. He will have the solid

Pennsylvania is solid for Gen. Tom
Stewart. who was candidate last year,

public. He has been Commander of his

would be for McElroy because he had done

Marshal of the Parade.

There is always an epidemic of igno-
rance of more or less malignant char
acter about the time that the National
Encampment is to meet, and Washington
people are probably little denser than
any other people on earth. They have
had Gen. Miles 'stood up and tOppled
over, don't You know" about 20 times in
as many days, for Marshal of the parade
of the Grand Army of the Republic They
have sent out from Washington great
stories, fully illustrated, of the manner
in which Gen. Miles had been appointed,
had accepted, and then had his budding
ambitions nipped by the eager frost Of the
Presidents wrath, who positively de-
clined to permit Gen. Miles to appear so
prominently when he himself expected to
be the bright particular star.
OF course, the talk was talk-nothing
more. Gen. Miles had not been asked to
act as Marshal, because there was no one
who had the right to ask him, excepting
the Commander-in-C Chief of the Grand
Army of the Republic, who seems to have
been left out of the equation in this fairy
story. The President probably knows
nothing about the story at all. Gen. Tor
rance has stopped the absurd talk by de-
nying that there has been any friction,
because there has been no chance for any
to arise, as he had informed his Chief of
Staff nearly year ago that he desired
him to act as Marshal when the day of
the parade should come. In this connec-
tion Gen. Torrance sets at rest all the
ridiculous rumOrs:
when Col. A. Noel Brakeman was ap-
pointed Chief of Staff. almost year ago,
it was with the expectation and under
standing that he would act as Marshal of
the parade. The duties of that position
are burdensome, and involve a great
amount of detail work, upon which Col.
Brakeman has been engaged for some
months past. 1t has been my expectation
and desire that President Roosevelt and
Lieut.-Gen. Miles should review the pa
rade with me, and invitations to that eff
feet will be sent to those distinguished
persons.
prior to my late visit to Washington 1
feared that the official inspection tour of
the Lieutenant-Ge General to the Pacific
Coast would prevent his presence at the
Encampment, but 1 am pleased to state
that Gen. Miles has signifed his intention
10 arrange his duties, if possible, SO that
| he can be present" Since then Gen
Miles has announced his intention to gc
TO the Philippines on an inspection tour
| so that he will not be able to be present.

CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

The ultra set have imported a new style
Of displaying consuming woe 1t has been
particularly observed in Washington this
summer as worn by the ''relict" Of a man
well known throughout the United States
One may wear white, quantities of it, in
trailing organdies, with frills and 1ounces,
laces and ribbons, all of which were
strictly forbidden by the etiquette of grief
formerly. With all this white, the mourn
ing vail should sweep to the very hem of
the dragging train, and on the left arm is
worn a band Of black crepe, fully four
inches wide. The ''relict'' fastens her
crepe with a huge medallion photograph
pin of the dear deceased, which is set in
diamonds as big as peas. The effect is
startling, to say the least, and not many
Americans are going to follow the fad.
Fancy black crepe fastened with dia-
mOnds!
A man in Washington advertises that
he wants an audience with any official
head of the Government of the United
States of America, from President to any
Senator, who stands strictly on the Con
stitution, holds the Stars and Stripes in
his right hand, and carries the holy Bible
in his heart. Very important"
What he wants is Colossus of Rhodes.
To stand on the Constitution to-day means
one foot on Porto Rico and the other ON
the Philippines. The flag to cover this
Titan would have to be hung on the
North Pole, and the Bible should be on the
reading table in the sitting-room, not
boxed up in somebody's heart.
England's crown is laid up for repairs,
but that is better than having England's
ruler in the repair shop. The roof of the
golden coach of royalty was too low, and
King Edward, unused to wearing the
bauble when he went driving, bumped his
royal head and dented the crown, dis
placing some of its jewels.
Our Navy isn't as big as it really ought
to be, though it is mighty valiant what
there is of t. Under the circumstances
it really seems unnecessary to arrange for
a depletion in the census of the Navy by
enlisting members Of the families of Hat
field and Mccoy of Kentucky feud notO-
riety, as was done the other day.

with their commands in Camp Alger, and
Mrs. Smith practically adopted them, 60
ing out each Sunday and taking them a
fine lunch, and remaining all day, caring
for the sick, and often entertaining the
young soldiers at her home. After the
war was over the citizens of Sterling pre-
solid silver, exquisitely engraved, as n
slight token of their gratitude for what
she had done for their 'bOys."
