Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
NEW YORK, March 6, 1902.
1t would really require a woman of in
genuity, possessing also distinct gift for
the inartistic. to buy just at this jpncture a
truly ugly gown. All the important fab
rics from woods to lawns are in active COM
petition for purchasers, and not one piece
yet seen but suggests blouses, skirts or
complete suits Of unusual charm. There
has begun already a well-defined fashion
in crisp silks. This does not interfere with
the demand for fouards. but merely aug
ments the growth of silky manufactures.
Very light taffetas, thin gros grains and
what is called ribbon silk are among the
enticing novelties. The majority Of these
rustling fabrics are finely figured in pin
stripes, tiny dots rings, and at least
three well-contrasted colors are reflected
from their sheeny surfaces. Numbers of
the pretty strangers come with ribbon bor-
ders that suggest their own decoration,
and while in some cases these light silks
are not so expensive foulards, they are
just as full dress and durable as the softer
weave.
Pure Pompadour Combinations.
AS to the foulards themselves, those in
pompadour colors and pompadour figures
are In the most active demand. This term
pompadour implies q SILK OF some rich
Sevres shade. ultramarine blue, pinsetta
red, Swiss green. etc, broken at intervals
in circles or ovals to display a wreath or
bouquet Of flowers in pure pompadour com
bination. Sometimes the floral effect takes
the shape Of a double line of descending
garlands in close-woyen tiny pink buds
caught here and there with shepherdess
hats or baskets filled with yariegated
poSies.
The proper makeup for these demands
ribbon worked up with frilled imitation
antique Ealencennes IN big gay rosettes
with dangling streamers. Ribbons con-
tinue TO usurp an ever-increasing impor-
tance in dress decoration. Many Of the
smart light wool and yelling gowns are
garnished wholly with beautiful embroid-
cred or less expensive silk damasked rib
bons.
A Ribbon Trimmed Frock.
A very clear impression Of one Of the
important missions of ribbons Is gained
from a clever sketch of a mignonette green
etamine. The skirt of this suit is dropped
upon a turquoise blue underslip and the
annexation founce Is trimmed with five
bands Of ribbon. Three of the ribbon lines
are green, two are turquoise blue. and they
are all brilliantly figured in white, green,

but be carefully collected and put away.
When needed for washing f1annels they
can be cut in small pieces and boiled to a
jelly and afterward diluted with rainwater
This will make beautiful lather. Small
pieces of toilet soap should be collected and

Until deep into the spring and until

exclaim over the charming heaps Of soft
stuff at the flannel counter, from the i'm
ported wash flannel to the very exquisitely
embroidered robes that are folded in boxes
and suggested for negliges. The finest and
lightest French flannel IS used for some OF
these, and the most costly hand-work is
lavished on their decoration; their cost Is
naturally in proportion with their hisb
order of artistic merit.
Hardly less attractive are the domestic
and machine-embroidere robes that can be

article, and which make up delightfully."- as

MONEY RAISED BY
DIRECT TAX In 1861
Complaint Made by Persons
Who Paid Levies.
Senator CockreII Asks for Informa-
ton Relative to Payment by
the Government.

| TIE District Commissioners some weeks
ago received from Senator F. NJ. Cockrell
| a letter in which he asked for informa-
| ton relative to the payment by the
! United States Government to the District
of Columbia of the moneys raised by di-
rect tax under the act of August Is, 1861.
Senator Cockrell stated that several
persons who had paid levies of the tax
had stated to him that they had not re-
ceived the same, and that upon presenta-
ton of their claims to the District au-
thorities they had not been recognized.
Report of the Auditor.
Senator Cockrell's letter has been re-
ported upon by the Auditor of the Dis
;rict, in which he says that when the act
OF March 2, 1891, providing for the re-
fund of this tax, was passed, the ques-
tion arose whether the amount which had
been paid by the District of Columbia
and was returnable under the act men
toned was payable to individuals or to
the municipality. The Auditor states that
he then took the ground that under the
law the District. and not Individual tax
payers, was entitled to receive 1t.
The Auditor states that after Il pro-
longed controversy Mr.. A. c. Matthews,
then First Comptroller of the Treasury,
sustained his contention, and that the sum
of S49, 1873. the amount which had been
paid by the District as its quota of the
direct tax, was placed to the credit of
the general fund of the District of Co
lumbia, in the United States Treasury.
The firal entry, in the shape OF cover
ing warrant, the Auditor says, was made
under date OF March H. 1893.
Forwarded to Senator COckreIl.
The Auditor encloses a letter dated
April 3. 1891, which he wrote to the Com
missioners upon the application of Mr..
J. Hoffman Smith, Tor the payment of his
share OF the refunded tax, in which the
matters stated above are cited and ar
gued at some length.
Commissioner Ross has forwarded the
report of the Auditor TO his associates,
moving that the letter and the enclosure
be sent TO Senator Cockrell.

All Of the British regiments now in the field are

Another interesting piece of news comes from
South Africa to the effect that of the Rem

authorities to test the typewriter a means of
transcribing direct from the Morse Sounder. He
succeeded well IN proving the utility Of the
idea that the Commander-in.ttict.- Lord Kitch-
ener, has Issued orders to the effect that all tcle
grams must be typewriter before they are deliv

line is well known.

now using upward Of , 900 Remington Typewriters.

AGAINST PLUMBING REGULATIONS
ID. \. Sanford Cannot Put Ten Houses
on Two Sewer Outlets

Mr.. j. W. Harper for Mr. d. A. Sanford.
recently requested of the District Com
missioners permission to make sewer con-
nections for premises 1917 to 1875 b
Street. and 1906 to 1914 Massachusetts,
Avenue southeast.
The Inspector OF Plumbing has reported
that houses 1906 to 1914 Massachusetts
Avenue. five in number are already pro-
vided with sewer accommodations by
means of a public sewer on Massachu-
sets Avenue.
1t is the intention OF the owner. in case
permission can be secured. to place five
additional houses upon the same connec-
tions. This would make ten houses with
but two sewer outlets, which would be a
violation of the plumbing regulations,
which require separate house connections.
The five houses on Il street are provided
with sewer accommodations along said
street 10 which the proposed connections
should run.
The Inspector recommends that the
writer's request be denied. and that he
be informed that separate house conDec-
tions must be installed for the houses To-
Gated on Street to the public sewer sit

Saint Luke's Guild gave socisble
to DR.. Sparkling last Monday evening
at the home OF Colonel Kellar. The

enjoyable evening. The occasion was
the presentation to the Rector of q
handsome gold headed cane on which
was beautifully engraved aw. Il.
Sparkling, from Saint Lnkes Guild. y
just before serving refreshments q
member ofthe Guild arose and said: ain
the name of Saint Luke's Guild 1 have
the honor and pleasure Of presenting
to you, Doctor Sparkling, testimonial
OF our esteem and appreciation. We
feel very deeply the value of your
services. We remember how you came
here to q barren field; and already
through your efforts the flowers of
success are blossoming for US. This
staff will give you physical support in
the tiresome walks up and down our
bills. But you need also another, an
invisible, q stronger support to cheer
your heart through the continual labor
and trials in our service. This sup
port will be yours in the constant trust
and sympathy of your faithful people.
And the Guild begs your acceptance Of
this staff as visible emblem of our
mental support" Doctor Sparkling
responded most touchingly in his char.
acteristic and eloquent words. He
gave tributet to the good women, and at
the close, as If to emphasize his appre.
citation of the gift, declared he would
keep the cane always. Whereupon
someone said "unless you loose it," to
which another answered s.no danger
with all that writing on it," 1t is
pleasant to add that the tribute to DR..
Sparling's work expressed not only the
opinion of st. Luke's Guild but also
OF the community irrespective Of
church or sect. x
