BY sitting in view commanding
place on a Sunday evening one can
see some awful costumes, success
sion if hideous Nightmares, re-
sembling, as one observer expressed
himself last Sunday evening, "a
collection of rainbows struck by
lightning" May be it isn't bit
nice to criticise the dress Of the
fair sex, but really the inappropri-
ateness in few instances was so
very absurd that we can't refrain &.
One dress was 50 encrusted with
silver spangles that you cculdn't
look at it comfortably without blue
goggles. The wearer no doubt
thought it was stunning, it might
look appropriate in colored cake
walk, but If a dress maker made il
tor street wear, it must have beer
in a moment if temporary aberra'
ton. But it doesn't make much
difference to some girls how they
look, they will continue to blundel
on in their foolish frocks anyway

spite of the fact that he is "a years
OF age he is still the bright particu-

and his popularity knows no bounds.

M. PELLETAN SPEAKS.
Defends Himself from Recent At
 tacks Upon Him.

Paris. Feb. 6,-At Pelletan, Radical Socialist. Minister of Marine. seized the opportunity uurinG todays discussion of the naval buCs in the Chamber of Dep utiess to explain his policy to defend him self from the attacks of which he has been the object. He said:
 "I have always kept in mind the naval reserves of 1870 when the German ships were able to place themselves at the mouth of the Gircnde l have wondere c what was the use of the millions of francs previously spent on the navy. l have a proud admiration for the great Admirals Of those days, but institutions must be modified I do not forget the glorious names of the past, but there was in the navy sort of inheritance giving tacitly recognized right to a privileged situation. l will struggle unce2singly against the tendency to separate the military DOT tion of our people from the mass of the nation, and to create detestable mili- tary particularism. Even recently the staff of the navy held opinions hostile to the republic. I have sought to repair in- justices caused by this state of mind. I respect all mems convictions. and ask of none what are his political Ideas, but insist upon it that the ideas shall not be manifested publicly. I especially will not tolerate that an officer because he is a republican. be barred from promotion The more progress that democracy has made the less access 1t has had to the general staff. I have sought to distribute promotion equally between officers who have risen from the ranks and those who have issued from the naval school There exists In the navy not only a distinction of rank. but a distinction of caste.''

A TRAvESTY ON FAME IN THE
 ALABAMA LEGISLATURE.
(For The Advertiser.

One, in the days of bitter war, Faced death and danger on the seas. He bore his country's flag afar To ever-glorious victories.
 And Alabama's name for aye, Through him, shall live in history. The other. in those days of strife. Sought peace and safety in his home; Preserved his fortune and his life And grieved not at his country's doom. No foes he gained-for none he fought. While others died, he 'sold and bought.
 The years passed by: a time there came. When death had called away these men, To say which earned the crown of fame. What did the grateful people then? The day had come to give reward And show the commonwealth 8 regard. The name of him who stayed at home In comfort while the other strove, To 1t applause and honors come As highest in the peoples love! The fame of him who fought so well Was left for other tongues to tell!

 Sophronia Pinover was so homeiy you could feel her coming two blocks away and around the corner. Her ugliness was SO pronounced and penetrating that the blind man who sat on the church door step feared she might some day restore his sight.

 Then she studied the How to Make Yourself as Beautiful as Albert Hubbard paper. but the more she worked over her complexion the more her face looked nke a football massaged by couple or strong college teams. ., .x 4. cided to put herself out of her misery So. having called for the deadliest mix ture she could find at the drug store soda fountain, she gulped 1t down, ran out % into the crowded thoroushiHe oiU AS'' to the sidewalk.
