Oriental Modes First Introduced
by the Empress Josephine.

Fashion succeeds fashion in rapid evoIu-
tions. and as seasons advance one can
trace the combined attempts to go back to
the old-time beauties of an epoch when the
rich, luxurious and artistic We're in vogue.
There 3 a novelty consistent with mod

great admirer of Eastern draperies and

Costume Possibilities for
Game of Ping-i'ong.

AS pinG-pong seems to have become moro
or less OF a national institution anC ping
pong parties and tournaments are the pre-
vailing form OF entertainment. it really is
time that the costume possibilities opened
up by the game should be taken into con-
sideration. A ping-pong frock should not
be an ordinary afternoon or evening gown:
it ought to be carefully chosen to suit tho
occasion.
First of all. It should never display 4 long
train. which would prove o trap for the
Cnwary feet of the unfortunate ~Inor:Ils
who are engaged in chasing and securing
Grant balls, with or without the aid of u
''picker-up." Then it should have something
about it in color and style suggestive OF the
game. \ neat gown which might be termed
a sympathetic" one, is made of fine soft
French cashmere in u restful shade of
green. The skirt is trimmed with strap
pings of cashmere. narrowly pipel with
white from hem to waist, and with a wide
band of rather darker green silk setting
round the bottom.
\ pretty bodice is strapped to CORE
spond, and has a plastrow. Tiny epaulettes,
and deep cuffs of white satin, OVERHEAD with
Par:s-tinted lace.
Another pretty gown is of cream China
silk. trimmed with tucl;s and embroidery,
very simple. but extremely charming and
calculated to reduce short-sightcd opponents
to dispair. for against it the white bali
would be practically invisible.
y charming costume is also made Of bril-
liant red silk. covered with bis white ping
pong spots.
This also has vest and cuffs OF white silk
and lace, and. like the white frock. H. would
probably produce optical Illusions which
would amuse or eXasperate the other play
ers.
Louis gallons may be made by choosing 4
fine white or cream wooden material with
gold threads in it, buying the narrow rib
bons OF white silk and gold mixed. These
must be embroidered along the middle with
quite a small running wreath of leaves and
flowers. or rather flowerets. and laid OH the
garment to be trimmed adding Il; thick
strand OF chenille on either side by way Of
finish. This is perfect on a dotted or fig
ured fancy velvet.
Blouse fronts are being replaced by
sleeveless waist coats. made just like these
for masculine wear. They are copied .eX-
actly from those worn in the Eighteenth
Century. and the idea is to reproduce by
needlework the old fancy stuffs. For in
stance. a cream cloth VIII be dotted with
black chenille points. or when a striped

proved agreeable to the trust magnates,
the benefciaries of the protective policy
and other supporters of the Republican
party and it would not do to include in
the Text Book anything offensive to
those influential promoters of Republi-
can interests. Representative Babcock is
the author of the Text Book but no word
is to be found therein in support of the
principles he so freely proclaimed early
in the last session of Congress, to the
effect that it was criminal to maintain
the tariff schedules on goods which were
being sold to the foreigner for 35 to 40
per cent less han to the American con-
sumner. 1t will be remembered that Mr..
Babcock's constituents adopted a resol-
ution approving his u~tterances on the
tariff question but doubtless Chairman
Babcock's intercourse with eastern cap
italists has convinced him of the error of
his former views.

McKINLEY'S DOCTRINE DISCARDED.

No better evidence of the insincerity of
Republican p~rotestations of an intention
of reforming the tariff and curtailing the
power of the trusts could be desired than
is afforded by the Republican Text Book
Although over eighty pages are devoted
TO the subject of protection not one
word is said on the subject of revision of
the present schedules. On the other
hand, every effort is made to convince
the voter hat protection is essential to
prosperity and that the higher the pro-
lection the greater will be the presently.
No space is devoted to the subject of
reciprocity and the last speech of Mr..
Mckinley is rigidly excluded. The doc
trines he enunciated at Buffalo have not

The greatest satisfaction is expressed
by Democratic leaders in Washington
over the policy which Chairman Ben
Gable has adopted for the conduct of the
fall campaign. Mr.. Cable says that only
the best men shall be selected for NOM
ination for Congress on the Democratic
ticket and he is determined that in every
where merit can win it shall
have the opportunity. Mr.. Cable appre-
ciates that the men who represent the
the Fi~fty-eighth Congress will nave much
to do with the success of the party in
1904 and he feels certain that If every
Democrat sent to Congress is a
peer among his contemporaries or
the other side of the chamber the
chances of success for the Democratic
party in 1904 will be more than doubled.

UNCLE MARCUS IN TROUBLE.

1t has been a long, long time since the
American people have gazed upon a more
pathetic national figure than Uncle Mar
Gus Aurelius Hanna of Ohio, says the
Atlanta Constitution. He is being forced
by a concentration of circumstances that
he vainly struggles to control into a posi-
ton hat pains him, evidently, from the
back of his neck to the horny place on
his heel. According to his despairing
testimony, he is having all sorts of trou-
BILE in fighting down the popular notion
that he is or ought to be a candidate for
the Presidency of the United States.
We think it is one of the saddest
things on record that the people will not
believe hat Uncle Marcus is in politics
from the sublimest of unselfish motives.
They do not seem to catch on completely
to the fact that he left the delights of
private citizenship only because he saw
bowwows. 1t was a pure piece of patrio-
tism on his part when he caught it by the
tail and yanked it back from perdition
and planted it safely on the rock of
prosperity.
Incidentally it was necessary for him
to have a President to do the official
chores of the salvation scheme and yet
more incidentally it became a matter of
~precaution to get John Sherman out of
self in, just to see that none of the
Democratic scabs in that power house
monkeyed with the dynamo or crossed
the feed wires. And all went well until
anarchy stepped in and changed the
whole face of affairs.
Since the Roosevelt accession the posi-
ton of Uncle Marcus has been one of
uncertainty. 1t is true hat he has pro-
fessed the largest loyalty to the Presi-
dent, but somehow the Presidential cot
erie has not accepted the tenders at par.
There is a large, rank suspicion in admin
istration circles that 1.-The old man." is
playing Foxy Grandpa in the political
game, and the way in which he holds on
to the loyal regard of the moneyed
magnates of the party and keeps in touch
with the Southern delegate makers and
takes to himself the Endorsement of the
Ohio Republican machine that he might
nave turned to Roosevelt if he had chosen
TO do 50 are symptoms that the White
House party views with alarm.
Still Uncle Marcus protests that he is
not an aspirant for the Presidential nom
nation of his party. And why should
he not be believed? The administrator
ought to help him establish the fact.
especially if he wants a chance to get
the nomination again and try for re-
election, because if Uncle Mark is forced
to be the candidate in 1904 the licking
the Republican party will get from the
people will be a-plenty for a long period
in the future.

U LIEUTENANT j. B. WASHING
TON, C.S. A, was abroad bright
~ and early on the morning of
May 81, 1862 Contrary to his
intentions, in the course of the fore
noon he rode into the Federal picket
posts at Seven Pines, in front of Rich.
mond. The mishap Of the lieutenant,
who belonged to the Mount Vernon
Washingtons and served as an aid-de-
camp on the staff Of General Joseph u,
Johnston, the Confederate commander,
ended in a trip to Yankee prisons, but
that was q tritle compared to the i'll
luck it caused for the flag he served.
From the picket posts it was but a
short ride to the headquarters of Gen
eral Keyes, the Federal commander on
that line, and the aid was soon asked
to explain himself to the enemy. He
had ridden out from Richmond toward
the hostile lines for the purpose of over
taking Longstreet's division of Confed-
crates with orders from his chief. Eli
ther Longstreet or himself had missed
the proper road; not that he gave his
case away so bluntly, but his battle
outfit, combined with confusion over
the capture, convinced Keyes that
something new was on the cards across
the lines. He alarmed the outposts
and sent reserves to the front.
A heavy rain of some days duration
had flooded the Chickahominy river,
beyond which the main portion of Nc
Clellan's besieging army lay, and the
Confederate leader, counting upon an
advantage in the impossible waters,
had marched out 10000 men to over.
run Keyes' corps and it's reserve,
amounting in all to about 10000, while
succor for them was out of reach. But
Longstreet did not get his orders, and
other generals who were TO take their
cue from his movements were left in
fog. So the several columns in gray
marched boldly forward and without
plan or cohesion stirred up separate
fights.
McClellan's left wing only had cross
ed the Chickahominy to the Richmond
side. Keyes' corps held the advance
with rallying points at Fair Oaks and
Seven Pines, about a mile apart and
both about FIVE miles from Richmond.
The line did not run parallel to the
river and was distant from the bridges
over which the Federal troops had
crossed from two to five miles. Scarce
ly had Keyes' men formed for battle
between Fair Oaks and Seven Pines
when the Confederate skirmishers ap-
peared and opened the sensational bat
tie Of Fair Oaks, the first combat at
the gates of Richmond. Colonel John
