adds much to the transparent look which IS
such a characteristic feature Of these Co.'S

Special correspondence OF The Sunday Republic.
ARTS. July 3.-Rather heavy mate
rails. such as mercerized piQpe,
IN duck and Holland. have again
found favor for yachting, tennis
and similar summer costumes.
To these French taflors have
added the twilled cottons or Galateas so
1ong used for chfldren's sailor suits.
They are very popular for beach and
mountain costumes in narrow stripes Of
white alternating with blue, green. black or
gray, and also in soft monochromes as
dainty as the dyes of evening silks. They
are also smartly made up into shirt-waist
costumes.
The back of the new French Jacket has
but one seam. The fronts turn back in
revers that widen over the shoulders and
form a square sailor collar. The volant or
circular peplum is adjustable. and is about
six inches deep.
An extra sailor collar with revers CT plain
white twill or pique IS buttoned on to cover
the colored collar, and Is removed when
soiled and is easily laundered.
Young women make great use of these
gowns for boating, golf and country wear,
adding to them shirt waists of foulard.

White Chip Hat Dropped
We'll Over the Face.
The waist is made very full and trimmed
about the neck, which is decollete, with
deep slashes. On one of these slashes a dia-
mond star is worn. A fine gold lorgnette
chain, studded here and there with cpals,
is also worn. The hat is white chip, drooped
well over the face, and a scarf of black hb-
erty satin is folded over the crown. which
IS very fiat.
On the back Of the hat, which droops
close to the head. is a large cluster of pink
silk roses. and under the brim, on both
SIDES, they appear resting on the hair.
An odd thing about one waist is that II Is
cut much lower on one shoulder than on
the other, showing to advantage a beautiful
shoulder and at the same time giving an
odd effect to the waist, which is made of
pale blue corded silk and white chiffon. II
Is made very full, with q blouse front, and
Is trimmed with folds OF the silk mixed
with shirred chiffon.
The neck is cut square,. with a decided
dip on the right shoulder. and Is trimmed
with folds of the silk, ending In a full bow
at the front of the corsage. The sleeves
are shirred chiffon and extend to Just above
the elbow.

pendant. looks very pretty with this, and a
band OF blue ribbon around the hair, which

Embroidered in Fanciful Design.
A pretty waist is made of ecru batiste.
The square yoke is heavily embroidered in
a fanciful design and a broad band of
the same embroidery extends from the
yoke to the belt. The rest of the waist
is accordion-plaited batiste. Instead of a
collar the neck is finished with a topaz
necklace, ending In front with a topaz
| pendant.
I With this Is worn a boa made of three
full ruffies of net. edged with satin ribbon.
The hat, which is very fat, is of black
chiffon, profusely trimmed with butter
cups.
Genuine French woven grass cloth or
linen batiste in the pale ecru and tan
shades has this year been made up into
very pretty gowns for midsummer wear.
They are trimmed with the new linen laces
in Flemish and Honiton patterns, in points,
medallions and insertions.
Round waists. tucked, with alternate
rows of insertion. and hooked on the left
side. are made of this batiste over a low
lining of the same fabric. One of the
prettiest waists Of this kind has curved
rows of ecru, madalions appliqued as a
yoke on the front and back, the front lap
ping to hook on the left, while the lining
hooks down the center.
Unlined Sleeves With
Leaf-Pointed Wrists.
Closely fitted unlined sleeves have ia
pered ~leaf-pointed wrists edged with gui-
pure. The skirt has a deep graduated
founce with a rich guipure border top and
bottom.
The foundation slip is Of turquoise blue
siig. and a twist of blue liberty satin goes
around the waist Of the bodice, the same
being used as a lining to the deeply pointed
transparent collar made of the ecru lace.
OF all the attractive gowns that are
worn In the summer. the prettiest are those
designed for garden parties and other out
of-doors Entertainments. Artistic SIM
phcity has q charm Of its own, and a dam
ty muslin frock win. IL smsrtly made and
trimmed not look out Of place beside the
most expensive summer silk or satin.
Fresh and dainty each toilet must be;
but, this effect being secured, a woman
may be as attractively gowned in cotton
as in silk.
Dainty hat, shoes and parasol must all be
included IN the costume. and here an en-
tirely different note of color may be intro
duced with good results.
In truth. what is becoming is much
more to be desired in outdoor toilet for &C.
casions OF enjoyment than what Is rich
and elaborate.
Nothing heavy-looking Is permissible, end
this year there is 4 wider range Of choice.

WIDE AWAKE BOYS.


 When General Grant was boy his mother one morning found herself without butter for breakfast, and sent him to borrow some from q neigh bor. Going without knocking into the house of a neighbor, whose son was then at West Point, young Grant overheard a letter read from the son stating that he had failed in eXamina- tion and was coming home. He got the butter, took it home, without wait ing for breakfast, ran down to the or flee of the congressman from that dis trict.
 MT Hamar,'' he said, twill you ap- point me to West PoinY
 No; So-andSo is there and has three years to serve.'
 '.But suppose he should fail, will you send me?"
 MT Hamar laughed. "If he doesn't go through no use for you to try" Promise you'll give me a chance, MT Hamar, anyhow"
 MT Hamar promised. The next day the defeated lad came home and the congressman laughed at Uly's smart ness and gave him the appointment. Now" said Grant, Nit was my mothers being out of butter that made me general and president"
 But 1t was his own shrewdness to see the chance and promptnessy to seize it that urged him upward.

LARGEST WATCH IN THEwoRLD

There has just been finished at. Walt ham, Mass, mammoth watch, the largest ill the world. To build this gigantic time-piece cost several thou sand dollars and several weeks time. Special machinery and tools were re- quired for it's construction. The watch is model of the new sixteen-size max imus three-quarter plate watch. en- larged ten times, perfect in every de- tail and as highly finished as the finest watch.
 The diameter of the pillao plate is 1T inches, and the movement is 2 1-2 inches thich. The balance wheel, says The Boston Transcript, is 6 1-2 inches in diameter, and the. brequet spring which controls it's action is s feet long, .0S of centimeter thick, and p of a centimeter wide. When running the balance makes q vibration in z of q second. The pallet stones are of sap phire and exquisitely polished. The aetuating, or main spring, is 22 feet long, IT of centimeter thick and 2.9 centimeters wide.
 The mammoth model is as complete ly jeweled as a watch of the finest grade. The plate jewels are as large as the smallest movement made, or about the size of q nickel five cent piece, are fine rubies, about ten lines in diameter, but pushed with sapphires. The polish of the wheels, pinions and other stell work is perfect, and the damaskeening on the plates is most beautiful. The pendant and winding crown are of fine bronze, brilliantly polished.

EIGHTEEN DOLLARS A TON.
John Hays Bill for Ton of Coal Sent


 John Hays Bill for Ton of Coal Sent
 by Express From Windsor, Vt.
 The ways and means of the summer cottager are sources of constant sur prise to the natives of this lake region, says a dispatch from Lake Sunapee to the Boston Globe. Some one in the household of John Hay Secretary of State, bought ton of coal for $S and it cost $10 to get it from Windsor, Vt, to the Sunapee station, making the to- tad expense for one ton of coal SIS. Inasmuch as the express company is under obligations to deliver goods at the door, MT Hays coal was hauled to the "Fells." 1t is not supposed that MT Hay has been informed of this transaction because he was in Wash ington when the coal was brought. When he sees the bill for SIS for one ton of coal-he is likely to feel like ad- vising President Roosevelt to hurry the antitrust measure along as rapidly as possible.
 The family of the Secretary opened their beautiful summer place on the shores of Lake Sunapee early i'll June. It was cold, and Mrs Hay wished the steam heater put in action. But there
  the Hay household undertook to supply the necessity. The result of negotia- tions was that a ton of coal was put up very nicely in bags, sealing each bag and tagging it for John Hay, by ex- press. The coal occupied the biggest part of the baggage-car on passenger train, to the amazement and disgust of the train messenger. At Claremont Junction each bag was transferred to a passenger train on the Concord and Claremont branch. The expressman receipted for one ton of coal i'll bags and weighed it to be sure that the char ges were not too low. The express i agent at Lake Sunapee station did some weighing and then delivered the coal. after much exertion and some dis play of temper, at the doorstep of John Hays home. How much is the ex- pressage?"
 .srhe charge is $10," said the express man.
 Does that pay for the coal too?'
 ..No, that only pays for getting 1t here It's a good thing for the com pany, ain't itY' The expressman of fered little pleasantary. .'Yes, and I guess MT Hay is the thing" replied the equally appreci- tive hired man of the Hay household, as he handed out the amount of the charge.
 ..Ifs much cheaper if you send it by freight" said the expressman, sympa- I thetically.
 Two days ago the coal mans tele- phone bell rang and this conversation followed:
 "Is this KiniTy?" Yep"
 "This is Secretary Hays house. Send l down q ton of coal right off

Three States Shaken.

OMAHA, July 29.-An earthquake shock which was general oyer portions of Nebraska, western Iowa and South Dakota occurred shortly after noon yesterday. The seismic disturbances were felt at large number of towns in the three states and lasted from ten to fifteen seconds. No damage has been reported thus far, although the shock was sufficient to rattle dishes and to affect bell towers in some places. Yankton, s. D., reports a shock of twelve seconds duration; Santee Agency, in northern Nebraska, reports similar occurrence, and Battle Creek, Neb.. was shaken for twenty seconds. The disturbance was more plainly felt at the latter place than any other which has reported thus far. In this city the shake was barely discernible, and few people knew of such a thing until the weather bureau reported 1t.

HAND ORGAN OF THE FUTURE.
Recording to This Authority It Will Be Power-PropeIIed and
 Power-Driven.

s'The hand organ of the future and of the near future, too," says man who has given the subject some thought, reports the New York Sun, twill undoubtedly be one carried about in an automobile, while the organ it. self will be power-driven.
 sThis will be in direct line with the trend of all modern endeavor, namely, toward the highest efficiency, with the greatest economy of operation-' It is a familiar fact that the modern piano 4organ that is carried about on wheels irequires the services of two men to operate it; one to play the organ and the other to look after the collections; while the two are required to move the organ, especially on long hauls.
 "There have lately appeared in the .city's streets hand organs drawn by horses, a novelty that has proved a great attraction and a great money drawer, but at an enhanced cost of operation; the keep of the horse having to be added to the wages of the two men.
 "Now the utomobile-carried and power-driven hand organ will be a greater novelty even than the horse drawn hand organ and no doubt a greater attraction and money drawer. and it can all be operated by one man; a greater result than ever will be achieved, with the expenditure of less labor.
 tsThe hand organ will be moved from point to point in its automobile carriage and will be operated by power from the same source that moves the carriage, which can be turned on and off at the pleasure of the operator, lwho, having made a halt somewhere and started the organ, can devote him. self then solely to the business end.
 Undoubtedly this will be the next step forward in the evolution of the hand organ, and it wouldn't surprise me bit to see such hand organs ap- pear at any day"

CHARGED WITH LIBEL
Leader Tn Miners Strike Is
 Arrested.
DISTRIBUTION OF RELIEF BEGUN.
Soft Coal Men Hiring Strikers, and Large Numbers of Them Are Leaving For the Bitumi-
 nous Regions.

wILKESBARRE, Pa, July 29.-J AZ. Mullahy, secretary of the Statlon- ary Firemen's Association of Pennsyl- vania, has been arrested here, charged with libel. Twenty-Five complaints had been lodged against him by men who are now employed in various capacl- ties by the coal companies in this sec ton. It was alleged that Mullahy had printed @ circular containing the names of the prosecutors He classified them under the head of unfair workmen" and then, so it was claimed, posted them In conspicuous places throughout thesregion. Two women testified that they saw a man who looked like the defendant put up the circulars on tele- graph poles near their homes. Magis- trate Pollock held Mullahy in the sum of $500 on each charge, which made the bailpiece $12, 300. The bail was promptly furnished by friends of the accused. Secretary Mullahy has been very active in the strike. 1t is said that through his influence he has held 95 per cent of the striking firemen firm. Engineers and pumpmen have gone back to work in large numbers since the strike began, but the hremen have remained out with the miners almost to man. At strike headquar- ters Mullahy's arrest on so many war; rants is termed an outrage.
