smart evening dress before spring has settled
upon us.
Pail1cttcs on Black Gowns.
From this effective white creation we go
to handsome one Of all black, with its
somber hue relieved by the omnipresent pail
lette. Black gowns seem TO have special
attraction for spangles, or II may he that
paillettes find black setting particularly
becoming to their tiny glittering disks.
However 1t may he, spangles reign supreme
when 1t comes to black evening dresses.
The one here depicted is no exception to
the rule. and this Guyol model represents
one Of the newest and most effective com.
binatlons Of tulle aud spangles There Is no
silk foundation To this robe; instead there
are several skirts Of black moussellne. each
one decorated around the bottom with sew
er1l tiny ruflles of the same sheer fabric.
Perhaps there arc half n dozen In all, and
the outer one has set upon 1t three or four
deep nounccs Of plisse chiffon, over which
the spangled tullo robe falls In deep points
around the lower edge
While on this part of the skirt the pail
lettes are scattered In an artistcaly irregu
lar pattern, the deep tulip leaved edge is
finished with a solid row of these sparkling
ornaments. TO further represent the flower
idea, the long tulip-shaped petals fall over
the plissc founces In n way to produce the
effect of foliage resting against delicate rose
petals The idea Is replete with suggestions
which could be worked into dainty evening
shades 80 that the gown would be veritable
flower creation.
Picture the exquisite beauty Of pale blue
and white, with ornamentatlons OF silver
spnnges Of tulip yellow spangled with
gold, or even n brilliant red, Its fuiterlng
masses OF scarlet plisse chiffon overlaid with
palette tullc cut In deep tulip points.
However fancifuly pretty and effective
these colored designs would be, there Is,
after all. none so thoroughly satisfactory
as n handsome black.
The corsage OF this black gown Is quite
plain. having the square decolletage finished
with massed pllsse chiffons. Lace caps form
tho sleeves, and these are slashed mp the
outside and laced across with black velvet
bcbc ribbons. In these lace caps, though
there Is only scrap Of the material. the

to advantage against the delicate flesh tints.

At A Blue Luncheon.
@e@ ~ @1~,

One hears of any number Of pink or vel.
low luncheons, but seldom of "blue'
one. Yet blue was the color scheme OF n
rather smart affair given by well-known
Washington woman short time ago, VINO
cndeavored to please her guest, even at
meal time. The guest had pronounced blue
her favorite color.
The table. which was a square one, was
covered with large centerpiece, embroid-
cred In the Canton pattern, with windmill,
bridge and boats in delft blue. In the
center of that was placed high blue
Nankin jar filled with blue hyacinths,
which was set In bed of the same How
ers, while smaller jars of blue NanRln
ware held pots Of hyacinths and were
placed at the four corners. The bonbous,
dishes. compotcs, etc, were In Nankins.
and the doilies under each plate-which.
of course, were of blue china-were EN-
broidered to match the centerpiece.
Cordage bouquets OF blue hyacinths were
in front of each place, tied with blue RIB
bons, while the menu and cards carried
out the blue idea as thoroughly and were
in delft on white. But the last touch OF
all was the turquoise safety pin, as
souvenir of the occasion.
Another rather quaint decoration for
lunch was New England idea. In the cen
ter of the table was large yellow pumpkin,
followed out and fitted with sprays OF the
pepper plant, with its bright red pods ana
glossy green leaves. This was placed WITHIN
wreath Of the pepper plant and made
unique and effective ornamentation.
The low bases at each end OF the table
were almost hidden by the same pods and
leaves, while piles of mandarin oranges were
surrounded in the same fashion.
One of the courses was stuffed peppers,
followed by apples and celery, and topped
by slices of Spanish peppers, which were
put into n large white cabbage, carefully
followed out, and stuck artistically with
cloves This cabbage was set In Its wreath
of pepper plant and was effective.
The ice was in the form of a huge red
pepper, also within wreath of glossy
leaves. Perhaps it might be called rather
'peppery" luncheon.

FIERCE BATTLE FOUGHT.
Consul Gudger at Panama Says That
the Government Claims the Victory.

A cablegram from Consul Gudger at
Panama. dated August s. 20 the Depart
ment of State. conveys the information that
there are revolutionary war vessels in the
bay; that fierce battle has been fought
a Aqua Dulce, and that the results of the
battle are not yet known. The govern
ment, however. claims the victory The
Ranger United States warship Is in the
bay.
Capt. Potter. in command OF the gunboat
Ranger. at the request OF the governor of
Panama, was yesterday granted permis-
sion to leave port In search of the CoIom-
blan gunboat Boyaca. which was supposed
10 nave broken down, and to be driftins @
helplessly somewhere along the coast. To-
day he cabled the Navy Department thai
he would not leave owing to the appearances
or revolutionary vessel, and that the
government would make other arrange
ments about the quest for the Boyaca. The
text of his cable is as follows:
Revolutionary vessel off harbor. II ia
considered undesirable TO leave. Governor
Will adopt other methods OF search"
The vessel supposed TO be broken down
is undoubtedly the Colombian gunboat

MERCANTILE COMPANIES.
Distinction Under Personal Tax Law
Opinions by Mr.. Duvall.

Mr.. A. B. Duvall, the corporation counsel
this afternoon submitted two opinions to
the District Commissioners. One deals with
the question whether the words "mercan-
tile companies in the proviso in para
graph of section of the last District
bill. includes manufacturing companies. This
section relates to the taxation Of personal
property, and the proviso is in the nature
of an exemption Of certain specified corpo-
rations from the general taxation prescrib-
ed upon capital stock. Under the proviso
the brewers of the city have sought exemp-
tion. Mr.. Duvau says the act defines and
treats brewer as q manufacturer and
holds that the exemption OF mercantile
companies does not include the exemption
Of manufacturing companies.
The second opinion deals with the pro-
posed sale OF and issuing Of deeds for prop
erty IBID In" in the name of the District
OF Columbia at the tax sales from 1882 to
1880, inclusive. Mr.. Duyall says the act
approved February Is. 1902 fixing the rate
of interest on arrearages of general taxes
prior to July 1. 1899. at per cent. IL paid
on or before December 81, 1902, is not ap-
plicable to the purchase and sale of bid
in property. A purchaser Of bid in
property is stranger to the property and
is not "a person owing arrearages." There
fore, the purchaser of IBID in property
cannot take advantage Of the per cent
rate In lieu of other interest and penalties

thing In his power to assist In the enforce
ment of the law. It was pointed out that
as the officers appointed to keep the peace
az Chesapeake Junction were appointed by

ADMITTED TITLE WAS BOGUS.
Lieut." Coffey Succeeded in Getting
$125 on a Check.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 5.-''Lieut."
Edgar n. Coffey OF New York has been ar
rested in Oakland charged with passing
bogus check on the proprietor Of hotel.
His arrival at the hotel was preceded by
letter from Portland Ore, purporting to be
signed by George w. McIver, captain OF
the 7th Infantry, Z. s. A, stating that
Cofrey was a second lieutenant of the COM
pany, who had been sent south on official
business, requesting that his name and
business be kept secret and asking the hotel
people to cash a check for SIPS, which had
been given him.
The letter written on official paper
and the lieutenant" brought with him
many apparently genuine credentials. The
check was cashed, but suspicious were
aroused when a second check was presented
by CofYey. An investigation was made and
his arrest followed.
Among his effects were found a great
number Of army official envelopes, large
quantities of army stationery many army
transportation blanks, and a number Of
blank checks At first he strongly protest ed
his innocence, but finally admitted that he
was not what he claimed to be, but asserted
that 1t was his first offense against the law
He is man Of fine appearance and good
address.
