DEcoLLETTE DISPENSED WITH

The land of low-necked dresses (also the land of "bad'' threats and tu- berculosis) is to have a good exam pie of ways sensible and comfortable set by the new and beautiful queen of England, Alexandra. This lovely lady has announced that ''dispensations" will be granted to those ladies who attend court functions, and for any good reason do not wish to wear the almost bodiceless dress insisted upon by Queen Victoria.
 The late queen was not above her little vanities, it seems. When 8 young woman her shoulders and arms were of singular beauty, and even when she grew old and dumpy in fig ure her Sttle hands remained so soft and shapely that they made one for get that tile queen was not pretty or regal looking woman.
 Out of the young queens natural vanity for her best points grew the regulation sleeveless and very decol- lette court dress. Many were the pro- tests against it, especially among the thin and rheumatic old dowagers and the newly hedged debutantes. But no exception was ever made. Health, age and bones had to give way before decree. The result was that the ir- reproachable Queen Victoria had the most decollette court of Europe" and the dress of her daughters was rev. alation to visiting princes, who have recorded their amusement (and amaze menu in their notes of travel.
 Sweet Alexandra has other ideas. Even at the coronation no one Is to be uncomfortable or unhappy if she can prevent it. The coronation bids fair to be a fearful affair, as far. as comfort goes. It will be in June, and ermine and velvet cloaks are to be as common as peers.
 There is still much uncertainty. how ever, as to how far the tradition will be followed, and if the king and queen. who are practical, kind hearted and very much in touch with the world and its way, can have their way (which, being a king and queen, they rarely can), the poor peers won't die of sunstroke or be smothered by their splendid robes and the pretty peeresses won't have headaches from wearing their coronets for seventeen hours at stretch.
 Many women of the smart world do not care for low cut dresses. When the Empress Eugenie set the fashions of Europe she frowned upon decOllete old ladies, and her mother, Mime de Montijo, never wore low cut bodice.
 The beautiful Countess de Kessler of Paris, whose shoulders were exquisite ly lovely, did not wear decollete for many years, because she had a deli cate chest and preferred caution to fashion. Mme Br0isat of the Comedia Franchise never wore low cut gowns, no matter what the play was she ap- peared in. Mime Pannetier de Milville. Mime Porges, the Duchess de Douleau- vile, Mime Paul Poirson, all women of the elegant world" in Paris, seldom appear decollete for reason of health or i beauty.

Deyery of the New York police force can hardly be as bad as the yellow journals have pictured him. In its ac- count of Devery's leave taking of his old position and his old comrades, the New York Journal has the following: ''Then Deyery shook hands with the commissioner (Partridge), and, ignor- ing all other officials, elbowed his way to the corridor. There he burst into tears. Sergeant Sugden followed at his heels. He was weeping, too. Devery passed through the lane of DO 1icemen who had been on his personal staff for years. Astonishment at see ing their old commander weeping broke up the whole crowd, and they added their tears to the others. Devery's much extolled nerve was gone completely when he staggered into his old private office. He went away from the building in few moments, the pie ture of despair"

 The message. of peace sent to Mir Roosevelt by the American Friends peace conference would have seemed sarcastic just at this time had it come from any other source.
 It is understood that the price Sec retary Wilson paid to remain in the cabinet was the withdrawal of his op- position to tariff concessions on Gu ban sugar and tobacco.

The account of the meeting of the Panama Canal Co., which was cabled here last week, is causing no little amusement, says a Washington core spondent. There is a certain childish ness about the French disposition which was never better shown than on that occasion. With a naiyette which was certainly amusing, but may cost them heavily, the excited French men declared that unless they succeed ed in selling their property to the United States they were utterly ruined, and talked of accepting the $4O,O0O,0 900 valuation which the Walker commis- sion had placed on their property, all though it is well known in Washington that was an extreme figure and would, in all probability, have been gladly raised had it come to serious propo- sition. Under the circumstances this government can doubtless purchase the Panama plant at whatever figure it has a mind to make and there is little doubt that if it does so the figure win be a low one. It was difficult to un- derstand why Admiral Walker should have recommended the Nicaraguan | route at the time, and still more diff cult to appreciate Senator Morgan's | prompt acceptance of the recommends | tion, but in the light of the recent meeting it would appear that the ad- miral and the senator have been play l ing shrewd Yankee bluff with the object in view of stampeding the Pan anna Co. If that was their objectfhey certainly succeeded This Twill mean the practical ruin of the Panama
 Canal Go and there will be great suf- fering as consequence among the poorer stockholders, for, as the con- pany was in a sense national, although the French government does not back the company in it's present organfza- tion, the stock in the days of de Leseps
 was widely bought and many shares are held by very poor people. Never
 theless the United States will have
 an opportunity to buy the property at
 a bargain.

telegram via London says that OIL
June in the Catholic cemetery at Ar
ma2h, Michael Davitt unveiled a mon
ument to the memory CT Hugh Car
berry, who was killed on tile DO L si!e,
in South Africa. 1t further says thar
Cardinal Logue prohibited any politi-
cal speaking in the churchyard and
ordered the epitaph on the monument
to be effaceG. Davitt, however, made
a speech and the inscription was not
removed. Any Irish news coming by
way of London concerning Duvitt must
not lie readily believed. Cardinal
Logue, though not strong Nationalist
as compared With Archbishops Walsh
and Croke, is a pretty patriotic Irish
man, and he would be slow in antagon-
izing such popular man as the hero
of the armless sleeve

IN an editorial on the end of the
South\ African war, Father Phelan
says in the Western Waterman: 1--WE
have never espoused the cause of the
Beers, not that we hated England less
or our country more. We simply did
not like the Beers. We do not like
the Dutch. They have been dead alike,
to truth, justice, honesty and the de-
cencies of life. The Beers are Dutch
in all the bad significance of the term.
We hope they will learn tolerance from
the lessons of adversely, and whel
they cease to be Dutch and became.
English they will be the gamers and
the world will have no cause t. regrc,
the transformation" That's rather
hard on the Dutch, and coming from
Catholic priest it surprises us, i'll
deed. Ii the Dutch ever become Eng
lish, and they are not likely to, it will
be a sad thing for the civilized world,
it there is such Il thing. Father Phelan
stands alone in his estimate of the
Beers among American journalists, and
he has no cause to feel proud of his
isolated position.

England, but never an Irish rebel of
the fighting kind, especially when
claiming seat in the House of Com
mons. The late John Mitchell was an
unrepentant and unpardoned Irish reb.
ell, but yet he left New York Ire
land to take his seat in parliament as
member for Tipp; rary after an absence
of more than twenty-five years. OF
course, his election was declared void
by the British ministry, but there was
no attempt made to prosecute him, as
there is with Lynch.
We believe that Chamberlain and
his gang will not dare to punish Lynch
with any great severity on the eve OF
the kings coronation, when representa-
tives from Australia and other BIRTHS
dominiOns are in England. Lynch is
no ordinary man and las friends in all
parts of the world. Whatever acts
Lynch may be charged with We're COM
mitted before his election to parlia-
ment, and as the representative-elect
of the people of Galway he is enttle 1
to immunity from arrest, except J.
grave felony, and no court in England
can deny him the right to serve his
constituents. In Ireland, Of course,
the case is different.
Parliament can take no action in his
case until he appears to claim his seat.
Lynch evidently knows the dilemma in
which he has placed the British au-
thorities. He has refused to apply for
bail, though he was permitted by the
magistrate to secure it. He preferred
to be remanded to prison twice rather
than knuckle down. What will be
done with him?
