decided to show their appreciation Of
some appropriate manner. After some
conference it was decided to present the
regiment with a stand of colors. Soon
after the formal presentation took place
and it was an occasion well remembered
by many Washington citizens. There
were two flags, one a regulation ensign
and the other a regimental flag bearing
the coat-of-arms of the District of Co
lumbia. The latter is still in the Treas
ury Building, food for moths and de-
cay. Ii played no part in history and
has been consigned to an obscure place
in the office of the captain of the watch.
The Treasury Guard never saw SER
vice and the smoke OF battle never
marred the brightness of its banners.
On the night of April II, 1865, the Guard
gave ball at Ford's Theater. The war
was over and Washington was thronged
with distinguished officers who had
served in the four years struggle and
were glad to get back once more to the
gayeties of the Capital The Guard ball
was an event of the season. The thea
ter was transformed into a magnificent
ballroom by the erection of a tempo
rary floor over the seats in the lower
portion OF the house. The decorations
were elaborate and the flags of the
Guard were given prominent places on
one OF the boxes. The guest of honor
was Commodore Winslow. of the Kear-
sarge. 1t was his first visit to Wash
ington after his great victory over the
Alabama in Cherbourg harbor.
After the ball, Mr.. Ford, proprietor
of the theater requested the officers OF
the Guard TO allow the flags TO remain

perfectly stunning veil of this
same Patrick green was worn a very
short time ago by Miss Jane Holly. in
one of the latest society plays which
was given a weeks trial preparatory
TO run next season.
How Miss Holly Wells.
This veil was long trailing one of
bright green chiffon, and its brilliant
hue against the dead black of her gown
was startling in the extreme. By some
it might be considered bit ultra, but
it was so smart and unusual that every
woman in the audience gave delighted
little gasp as Miss Holly glided in. Miss
Holly. who. by the way. posed for the
accompanying photographs, always wears
exclusive novelties. and as she has Il
particular fondness for floating wells, this
was esIecially suited to her style. The
hat upon which the scarf was draped was
made all of green, and the curying brim

side of the front. was fashioned OF Pat
rick green tubular straw braid loosely
wound with green chiffon and put on the
facing TO form pointed petals.
The top of the hat was quite plain ex-
cept for twist Of chiffon, while the en-
tire bacl, was covered with the long
streamers which fell to the edge of the
train. The middle part of the stream
ers was made Of accordion plated Pat
rich e.sen chiffon, while fastened TO the
outer edge. and reaching the same length,
were steamers Of pale green tullc.
AT the left side one-half OF the scarf
was tied with a butterfly bow of green
tulle while tiny ruches of chiffon fin
ished the extreme edge, which fell
over the train. Doesn't it sound novel
and fetching?

Chiffon Scarfs of Any Color.
Black wells for the face predominant
everywhere, though the white and black
are frequently seen, but for draping hats
chiffon scarfs of almost any color are
considered extremely modish. The chif-
fon scarf or veil worn loosely over the
face seems to be something of a con-
cession during hot weather, for the
smart woman is so welded to her veil,
that when heat makes the wearing OF
one utterly impossible. she cheerfully
finds a compromise in graceful flutter-
ing scarfs.
1t is a rather curious fact that while
the fad for yelling the face is distinct

country does one see such a general use
of chiffon scarfs. We are certainly

In Diamonds or Squares.

Wells which have the pattern arranged
in diamonds or squares placed point to
point are verr much liked and have
proved to he Immensely becoming. White
tulle crossed with double lines in black
in this style makes a very pretty veil.

The same weaves In white are effective
and certainly look tempting. but white
rarely proves becoming.
For the June Bride.
June wedding wells are to be worn in
very odd fashions and particularly with
flowers nesting among the soft flmy
folds One bride has chosen to wreathe
her charming face in orange blossoms
from which the tulle veil will fall back
ward in sweeping gracefulness.
Another bride of June will have her
veil drawn over her head something like
hood and at each side there Will De
fastened large clusters OF gardenias
conccaling the ears.
A very pretty effect is to use iiny
white roses in Pompadour wreath effect
and let the small flower trail down one
side of the veil in careless and pic
turesque fashion.

bridal wells. not in ornaments. but

The Coronation Cape.

A genuine novelty in the way OF a lace
trimming for handsome summer gowns
is the Coronation cape. This Is the
quaint and curious little arrangement
of a hand-wrought scarf in white or
black lace. put straight across the back
of the decollete corsage and continued
down the outside of the sleeves to the
elbow. The cape falls just to the waist
and suggests the odd way in which Aus
trian and Russian officers have their
capes slung across the shoulders. The
Coronation cape is very new. and al
ready has a vogue among the smart set.

The boa is really much more of a cape
now which smart neck accessories mus,
possess is this very cape or broad collar
effect. Above ALL they must not stand up
about the throat. The ends may be long
and have deep frills to match them,
which form the cape part. In black silk
spotted net such boa will cost $50, and
it won't be elaborate either.
One of the Prettiest Hats.
One of the prettiest hats seen this
season was made of this same spotted
silk net in white. The rolling brim
had an applique of heavy white lace
picked out with black, and across the
back was a graceful drapery of lace
edged net. The top of the hat pre-
sented rather a unique trimming of jet
blackberries caught here and there
among the folds of silk and net. Black
berries covered the short bolero of the
gown and hung in great clusters down
each side of the front. This fad for
fruit trimmings seems to grow more
and more popular each day. 1t is ef-
fective, certainly and so unusual that
gown thus ornamented cannot help ap-
pearing smart.

The Partisan Double Veil.

Parisians are wearing very eff
fective double veil, which has for the
under mesh a thin plain white tulle
Over this is fastened cobwebby weave
of black with small black velvet dots
placed close together. These wells, like
all others they wear over the face, are
put on to come just over the tip of the
nose. About one person in ten finds the
style really becoming; yet. this is the
mode, so everybody wears it. A zig-zag
effect is very new and looks especially
smart put on this way. while a dotted
veil which is now in vogue is a combina-
tion Of large and small chenille spots
arranged on a square mesh.
The Washington times., 1902-06-15

other of green, or it may be white with
green velvet dots. The latter is really
the latest novelty in chiffon yelling. and
for ordinary use it is prettier because
it is less conspicuous than all green.
The scarf wells are much longer this
season than formerly. two yards being
the length best liked. This permits Of
a graceful arrangement about the crown
and futtering ends. which are fashion
ably long.
AS for the face wells, thinner meshcs
are liked for summer wear, and one of
the very newest patterns has an open
weave with black velvet dots at least
quarters of an inch in diameter
placed quite wide apart. 1t is neces-
sary, when wearing such a veil, to be
sure that dot doesn't cover the end
OF the nose or an eye; the most be-
coming place for it is below the corner
of the mouth. II the dot is worn high
on the cheek, then it detracts from the
eye, because it appears in the form Of

IN NEED OF FUNDS.
Catholic University Compelled to
Exercise Strictest Economy.
IL L. Said That the Institution AT
Washington Has Net Received
Measure of support from Arch
bishops That Was Expected.

The educational world has been as
founded to learn during the last few
DAYS that the Catholic University of
America has been compelled to eXer-
else the most rigid retrenchment in
the midst of scholastic term. Seven
of its professors and lecturers have
been summarily dropped from the pay
roll. They are Carroll ID. Wright, pro-
fessor of economies; Mgs. Frederick
H. Rocker. lecturer on ethics: Josiah
Pierce, professor of civil engineering;
Edmund b. Briggs and Charles II. God
dard, professors of law: Albert Doc
little, head of the department of math-
ematics. and Charles Warren Stoddard,
professor of English literature.
The Catholic university is in sore
straits. II has not received the meas
ure of support from Roman Catholic
Archbishops that was expected by the
pope when he founded il ~ years ago,
Internal dissension among members of
the faculty also intensity the apathy
on the part Of the laity. There are
only 16 lay students in all the depart
ments of the university.
The Catholic university is the only
pontifical foundation in the United
States. 1t holds its charter direct
from the pope, and it was designed to
become a seat of learning, attracting
to it the scholarship and culture of
the continent. If the university is as
sisted promptly by the Catholic hier-
archy it may be able 10 weather the
storm. but If the apathy continues ii
is sorrowfully admitted that the in,
stitution Is likely to share the fate
of the Catholic University of Ireland,
which gradually decayed through
want of sustenance. At present the
Washington institution enjoys an en-
dowment of $4,000. 600. but all of this
except about 81 100000 is sunk in the
plant. and the interest on the invest
ed funds IL not sufficient to meet cur
rent expenses.
The university is governed by n
board of trustees. which originally was
designed to consist Of four archbish-
ops, four bishops. four priests and four
laymen, with the archbishop of Balti-
more as its chancellor. As matter of
fact, every vacancy occurring among
the priests or laymen has been filled
by bishop or archbishop, and this
has preiudiced the great mass Of its
supporters. Racial troubles have also
added to its difficulties. The Germans
were alienated during the struggle
concerning Mgr. Schroeder, and the
Irish element were offended last year
because of the management Of the
endowment of $4,000 subscribed for
the chair of Gaelic.

BEEF.PACKING COMBINE.
Gigantic Consolidation is Under Con.
sideratiOn.

New York, June 20.-A gigantic
consolidation OF the beef.packing in
terests of this country is under con-
sideration. 1t is planned to consoli-
date the houses Of Armour & Co.,
Swift & Co.. Nelson Morris & Co. and
the Hammond Dressed Beef compa.
ny, which are known as the Big Four,
but it has not yet been determined
as to whether or not Schwarzschild
& Sulzberger will go into the com.
bination. The five interests would
make the combination complete
The combination of the big Four"
which is under discussion would not
only make a combination doing a
far larger business per annum than
the [ nited States Steel corporation,
but also do away with all the tror-
blesome questions which have recent
~ been raised under the laws against
pooling and pooling combinations,
There is no law as yet against a New
Jersey corporation buying out all
the beef packers and distributors OF
dressed beef in the United States, and
the business is close and requires SO
much capital for so small a margin
OF profit as to make it scarcely posi-
bic for any investment of rival CAPT
tai to he contemplated for many
years. Hffihe Swift company has
capital of 500, 100000, and must
turn its capital eight times a year
through gross business of 5000
100000 per annum in order to earn
al ordinary dividend.
1t is figured that it does not make
an average profit OF 2 cents on the
dollar OF the business that it handles
but under consolidation OF duplicate
branch distributing Offices there
might be cents saved and larger
dividends made upon capital o.
800, 900, 900 or 5000, 100000 than
has ever yet been made from the
beef packing industry.
This consolidation is the realcaust
for the advance in Swift & Co. shares
in Boston from I02 to ITO recently
while the United States authorities
have been striking at the legal exist
ence of the packing business, ant
while the Newspaper campaign
against the consumption OF meat hal
cut down the cattle business OF tn,
country by from 20 to 20 per cent.
1t is said that the proposed consol
idation of the beef packing interesrl
is not a certainty because OF the re
fusal of the Swift company to ente
the combination. Mr. Gustavu
Swift, president OF Swift ( Co., an,
the largest stakeholder, has given
positive refusal to consolidate tn
Swift company with the Armours o
any other packing interest. The lat
