Satin dinner and ball gowns are be-
coming more and more fashionable all
the time, and the thinner materials will
soon be quite out again, although the
fact OF the summer season being near
at hand may grant them a new lease
OF life. Satin is always a satisfactory
material in one respect when il is in
fashion-it has such a lustre and such
a rich appearance that 1t does not re-
guire such an amount of trimming as
is now ordered for the other fabrics. Of
course, the craze for embroidery and
spangled effects must needs still be
called into play, and some Of the most
superb gowns of the winter have been
the satin ones embroidered by hand in
spangles of various kinds.
White satin is considered smarter
than any other color, but the pale blue
satin grows in favor every day, and
many most attractive gowns are made
in pale blue. One especially attractive
model in these days of too much trim
ming has long plain skirt with only
a band Of lace above, which would be
the hem If hens were ever used now.
The waist is cut unusually low, but is
filled in with folds Of white chiffon,
while the shape is that of a bolero
jacket with an applique of white lace
over front of chiffon. A picturesque
blue satin is made with a fiounced skirt,
but each flounce joined one to the other
by bias bands instead of being left sep
arate, and the effect is, while close-ft-
ting. almost like the very old-fashion-
ed skirt worn with crinoline. The
waist is in the style known as the baby
waist finished with lace bertha that
nearly touches the sash. There are
pulled sleeves tied with black velvet
ribbons, and a knot of white roses on
the left shoulder is fastened with a
black velvet bow
A pale blue satin much more elab-
crate in design has a three founced
skirt, the fiounces lined with pale pink
The waist is draped in bias surplice ef-
feet, the ends tied in bow with soft
tulle knitted in with the satin. and
across the front of the waist is most
beautiful spray Of pink morning glories
whichNfalls down on to the skirt. There
is only band OF satin across the shoul-
ders. with an odd little cap sleeve oi
white tulle on one arm, and on the
other the flowers are SO arranged they
form a sleeve.
The most effective satin gowns are
those with considerable lustre but for
tunately this does not mean that the
most expensive quality need be pur-
chased. Nothing is more ghastly thar
a poor looking, glazy satin, but There
are now a surprising number of differ.
ent qualities which are comparatively
cheap and which wear we'll.

CHICAGO FIRE ANNIVERSARY.

Leading Chiefs Hold Banquets. Prominent Speakers on Programme.
 CHICAGO, Get. 10.-The thirty first anniversary of Chicago's big fire was observed by banquets given under the auspices of the Marquette and Lake side clubs. Speakers of national prom. thence were present at both banquets. At the Auditorium hotel 300 members of the Marquette club and their guests gathered in the banquet hall, which had been appropriately decorated. Will liam l.. Bush, president of the club, acted as toastmaster. After the 1nVo- cation by Rev. Frank Gunsaulus, Gov ernor Robert M Lafollette of Wiscon- sin was introduced and spoke on the achievements of the Republican party since March 4, 1897. The next speaker was Secretary of the Navy William F. Moody, for whom the banqueters arose in a body and cheered enthusias stically. Secretary Moody responded to the toast, "The Navy"

CUBA UNFRIENDLY7

Washington Authorities Concerned
 Over New Republics Indifference.
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 1O.-The situa- tion as to Cuba is such at present as to give officials here great concern. It is feared that Cuba is drifting away, and evidence is multiplying day by day to mark the growth of a spirit of indifference toward the cultivation of friendly commercial relations with the United States that almost borders on hostility.
 The best efforts of the state depart ment thus far have failed to secure the adhesion of the Cuban government to the treaty which by the terms of the PIatt amendment must be entered into between the two governments. The delay is all on one side-nameIy. at Havana-for Secretary Hay and the Cuban minister, Sener Quesada, have performed their part in drafting trea- ty which, it is believed, carries out the intent of congress. That treaty is now awaiting the approval of the Cuban government, which approval is with held, not with any expressed intention of rejecting the convention, but through what IS regarded here as the natural inertia of the Cubans in diSo- matic matters.
 This treaty includes provisions for a considerable measure of reciprocity be- l tween the United States and Cuba, and while it is true that the Cubans believe that the United States has been 1 rather niggardly in the arrangement I 0f thn srnoifa,,noitv snhpdI11o tbncn oh 1 jections are not regarded as sufficient to account for the great delay in con .cluding the treaty. However, there is
 no intention, it is said, to resort to any
 undue pressure on the Cubans so long as there is no discrimination against the United States and in favor of an
 other country.
 I It is believed that as Cuba is the
 principal sufferer from the lack of treaty relations with the United States
 internal pressure will soon force ac-
 ton on the pending convention.

A FRIEND OF ROBERT BURNS

Mrs Mary Lockman, who died at her home in New York, her native city, Wednesday, at the age of 98 years and almost months more could have given an interesting hand grasp across the centuries, for her Scottish father was an intimate friend of Robert Burns, and to him Burns dedicated his poem, "Tam the Chapman" So that eighty or ninety years hence there may be a man or woman living who could remember her and so extend the touch of Burns's hand across POO years. Mrs Lock mans father was also a revolutionary soldier, and her childhoods home was center for the Scottish part of New York society and also for men and wo- men of the revolution. Her three sons all served in the war for the un- ion; Isaac R. Lockman became a coI- onei; John T., a lawyer now in prac- tice in New York, came out a brevet brigadier-general and Jacob F., who also Is living, was in NeW York miIi- tia and served in the draft riots of 1863: Mrs Locknan was an intellec- fual woman and her mind was great sforehouse of the poetry of Scotland and of early American days.

MADE IT HIMSELF,
Money Was Good, But It Got Him Into
 Trouble.

~=- E Et. & flTOuD1Gss +.s7 %se s#E
 An employe of the bureau Of engrav- ing and printing is not so prone to joking as he was before he took his annual leave during the past summer. This particular employe of the govern ment is plate printer and for twenty years he has been engaged in the work of making money. He has made an estimate of the number Of millions Of dollars he has turned out, but the fig ure is so large that it is only ex- pressed by a long line of ciphers. Be fore going on his vacation he received his months salary in crisp treasury notes and without folding them placed them in his wallet. He happened down town in New York and upon his new notes. The cashier looked at it with interest because of its new ness.
 You need not be afraid of that note" suggested the emp1oye of the bureau of engraving and printing. That will pass anywhere"
 This caused thought of suspicion to pass over the mind of the cashier, who took another look at the note and at his customer before reaching to his cash drawer for change. Lhe plate printer was enjoying the situation.
 Say he said, leaning closer to the cashier. That note is all right. I've seen the plates it was printed from in fact" he continued, confidentially, it is all right. I made it myself-I printed it.
 sI'll have to send out for change, as am little short" said the cashier, pressing an electric button as he spoke. Then he wrote brief note hastily. It was addressed to the manager, who was at the rear of the restaurant, and asked him to telephone to the police l lieutenant in that precinct.
 I've got tipsy fellow at the desk who confesses he is a counterfeiter, 7 he wrote
 The plate printed had to wait several minutes for his change. Before he got 1t couple of officers were at his side, and they took him into custody as soon as the act of Showing the queer'' had been completed. The plate printer then repented. He gave the officers his nameF and told them it was only a lit tie joke that plate printers like to per- petrate. but he didn't think his words would be taken seriously. Before they l would accept his explanation they es. corted him to nearby banK in order to have an expert pass on the nature of the suspected note. That examina. l ton cleared the plate printer of sus l p1cion and he went away a wiser man I Washington Star.

COMMANDER ELECT STEWART. Daniel B. Slckles of New York city was presented to the convention, but he withdrew from the race. William M. Olin of Massachusetts was elected vice commander in chief and James M. AverilI of Georgia junior vice com mander in chief. Aside from the cleo ton of these officers the most interest ing feature of the encampment was the report Of the pension committee of the G. A. R. This committee severely scored the medical division of the pen sion bureau, declaring that it was a dead line where were executed the claims of veterans seeking pensions. It accused the personnel of this divi- sion of approaching the reports of the examining surgeons throughout the country with suspicion and distrust and as made in bad faith. It de nounced the reports that extensive frauds were practiced in pension claims as absolutely baseless. -->,
 A resolution was offered by General Edgar Allan of Virginia, as follows:
 Resolved by the thirty-sixth nation al encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, That while we still mourn our country's loss when a year ago we gathered it is source of rejoicing that Theodore Roosevelt as successor to our beloved and lamented .comrade, Will liam Mckinley, is thoroughly in sym pathy with all that tends to the preser- vation of the memories of our glorious past and recognizes the claims of the veterans who fought for the preserva- tion of the Union and that while he cannot be of us he is with us by the ties of comradeship which he won in our country's later examples of Ameri- can valor.'
 The Woman's Relief corps, the Daughters of Veterans and the Ladies of the G. A. R. also met in annual con vention yesterday. Thousands of vet erans and their wives not delegates to either of these organizations attended army corps reunions in the big tents on the White lot or spent the beautiful October day in sightseeing.
