WHAT MISS ROOSEVELT WORE

As was to be expected of the Presl- dents daughter, who was the exposure of all eyes at the launching ceremonies in which she played the chief part, Miss Roosevelt was charmingly ar rayed
 Miss Roosevelt has a modiste who knows her business. No woman could have been more exquisitely gowned. It was just the frock for girl still in her teens, yet a debutante. She was just a pretty poem in blue, black and white.
 Beneath it she wore cream satin waist, trimmed with Irish point lace, belted in with a white girdle. Around her neck was a high, smart stock of white tulle with q bow of it nestling under her hair at the back. A SUI perb set of black sables, huff and boa, edged with fur tails; white gloves black picture hat trimmed with os- trich plumes and a plain veil of black net set off her attire most success fully.
 There was color in her finely drawn face and the soft light of am ticipation in her eyes. But the girl of her showed most of all i'll the black ribbon band tied i'll bow knot around her left arm. On it was in letters of, gold was s'Yacht Meteor" :"
 Sometimes Mrs Roosevelt was beside her and sometimes she was down in the main stand with her friends, the ladies of the cabinet and other Wash ington matrons. When everything was ready for the christening, Miss Roosevelt said smilingly:
 Take this, mother, please,' hand ing her the big sable huff she car ried.
 It was plain that the wife of the president was still showing the strain of her weeks vigil at Groton, but she was in rare good spirits Her hand- some face was continually wreathed in happy smiles, and she had laugh or q smile for everybody in the crowd whom she knew
 Mrs Roosevelt wore a simple cos tune of black that was most becom- ing. 1t was of black taffeta, dotted with white. Over it was a long coat of black taffeta, girdled with strips of black velvet. There was a broad collar set with white lace and fiaring tails. A small black hat trimmed with lace and sable furs, huff and boa completed her attire.
 The president, of course, was sim- ply dressed. He wore dark oyer- coat, high hat, well-creased gray trousers, the conventional frock coat, turn-down collar and q blue four in-hand tie, crossed with diagonal white stripes.
 He apparently kept himself in the 1 background, but when it came to a | question of precedence MT Roosevelt walked up the stairways first, as be- fitting the head of the nation. with the prince following. It was plain l that he was enjoying himself greatly. | Prince Henry was heavily oyer coated ill blue. There were no signs 1 of rank on his sleeves, but beneath i the simple broadcloth and brass but tons was the full dress uniform of l an admiral in the German navy 1 gold-laced and gold-striped. He wore a cooked hat, well gilded, and a white silk belt, we'll picked out with gold and scarlet. Underneath his over coat he wore his navy cutlass, with only the point of the black and gold scabbard showing beneath the long 1 skirts of his OyprcOat

HIS GRATEFUL FIRST CLIENT

When Henry c. Smith of Michigan started to practice law he had as his first client negro, and he won the case. The hearing was before a lo- cal magistrate and the charge was stealing a ring.
 .'I made an eloquent plea," said Mir Smith yesterday, in recounting the proceedings of that case. T did not fail to ring the changes of the down. trodden race, and all that sort of thing, with the result that my client went free. Still, I had a sort of lingering suspicion that the verdict was certainly all my man deserved, and when the case was over I want ed to be rid of him. He continued to haunt my office.
 ".Why don't you go out and chase around with the boys? said finally, in some impatience.
 sssDeed, boss, I thought yo' fee war too small, an I want yer to accept this 'ere ring
 And the negro produced from his jeans the ring which he had been supposed to have stolen"

Editor Ridder of the Staats-Zeitung of New York, who got up the big edi- torial dinner to Prince Henry, thanks those who sat at the tables and helped make the affair a success in the folio " ing editorial paragraphs: ''The New Yorker Staats-Zeitung wishes to ex- tend it's thanks to all the members of the press who have helped it to make the dinner in honor of H. R. H. Prince Henry of Prussia q success. The un- dertaking was of such magnitude that it would have been utterly impossible to carry it through without the active, generous and loyal assistance of every body connected with the press. We wish to thank especially the gentlemen who accepted the arduous task of act ing as members of the committees and who devoted so much time and effort to the work connected with the affair, as well as the representative men who placed their eminent abilities at our disposal in order to greet the royal S7 uSSl III AlllHS Iud1ueE. buL OUT heartfelt thanks are also due to the American press as a whole, for with out it's help and generous response It would not have been possible to carry the conception of presenting lrince Henry to the representatives of the press into effect" The Staats-Zeitung dinner cost the owners of that paper, it is said, $20,000, and it seems as though the men who ate and drank at the expense of Editor Rider are tie ones to be thankful. It was a gather. ing of newspaper men such as comes together only rarely. The little editors and the big editors were all there, and each one seemed to be right at home, so agreeable were the surroundings 'The Staats-Zeitung, says the Hart ford Times, is very polite to extend its thanks to it's guests. It is due from them to bear witness that olr New York contemporary has added i'll noteworthy and memorable way to the list of big things for which Amer jeans are willing to think the people of no other land have an equal capacity of performance"

AN ELABORATE TOILET.

The American Countess de Castel- lane, formerly Anna Gould, is noted for her elaborate toilets in Paris. She wears q great deal of red. One of her new winter gowns has q scarlet velvet skirt done i'll graduated rows of ermine fur from the bottom of the trained skirt to the hips. The jacket is q bloused affair of ermine. With this costume is worn a jaunty black velvet turban, faced with ermine and trimmed in green leaves and black pompons. About her neck is a long, thick, pure polar white boa, that winds twice about her shoulders and hangs almost to the bottom of her skirt in front She carries a large huff to match. ornamented with single red rose. It sounds startling and theatri- cal, but the Countess de Castellane. everybody in Paris says, has improved wonderfully in dress and looks since her marriage, and Paris ought to know.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

The week in the Capitol has been writes a correspondent, who saw the go between Tillman and AIcLaurin. On Saturday Senators Tillman and Me Laurin, both of South Carolina, in dulged in a personal encounter on tic floor of the senate, and on Monday, during the closing hours of the debate on the Philippine tariff bill, Senators Wellington and McComas were guilty of personalities which must have ra- suited in q brawl had not the chair ordered MT Wellington to take his seat. The most exciting event of tie week, however, was the decision of Senator Frye, president of the senate, that, because the senators from South Carolina had been adjudged lin con tempt" their names should be stricken from the rolls and that they should not be permitted to vote. The minority vigorously contested this decision on the ground that it was equivalent 10 disfranchising a sovereign state, which the senate, under the constitution, had no authority to do. The democrats conceded the authority of the senate to expel the members from the body, bIt denied the right to strike them from the rolls without having so expelled them, and by so doing giving the state an opportunity to appoint others 10 take their places. While Senator Bai- ley of Texas was speaking on the slb- ject the president recognized Senator Aldrich, who moved to proceed wrh the regular order, and the motion was carried by party vote. The Philip pine bill was then passed.

THE LETTER "E."

An exchange says that the letter '.e' is the unfortunate letter in the English alphabet, because it is never in cash, always in debt and never out of danger Our exchange forgets that the aforesaid letter is never in war, but always in peace; it is the be- ginning of existence, the commence ment of ease. and the end of trouble.
 Without it there would be no meat, no bread, no life, no gospel and no heaven. A Moodus young lady also suggests that there would be no love, and an awful dry chap trembles at the thought that there could be no beer. Connecticut Valley Advertiser.

rem has succeeded in having the sen.
ate committee on agriculture amend
the agricultural appropriation bill by
adding $25. 900 to the amount provided
for in the bill as it came from tho

The secretary of agriculture recon-
mended to congress an appropriation
of SIS 900 for the irrigation investiga'

economical streak when the agricul-
tural appropriation bill was before it,
and cut this item to $50, 1000, which was
the amount provided by last years ap-
preparation. 4.
The senate committee has increased
the item to SIS. 900. and Senator War
rem is hopeful of retaining this amount
in the bill when it finally passes. The
senator also secured an additional ap'
preparation on the part of the senate
committee of $4,000 for experimental
