Affair In Court.

Jackson.-It Is announced that the
trustees of the deaf and dumb insti-
tute will meet In q few days for the
purpose Of looking at sites for the new
institution which tho legislature will
have to construct in lieu OF the old one
which wac destroyed By fire. The las
legislature by joint resolution called
upon the trustees to locate a new site
for the institution. This resolution
was adopted before the fire. 1t was
the idea Of the lawmakers that the in
stitution should be moved to q su bur-
ban location where more ample
grounds and healthier surroundings
could be had. The site in the CITY
was also becoming valuable and would
net a considerable sum at sale. The
trustees have already been consider
ing the matter and several sites have
been offered to them. Under the res
oiution tney are to examine desirable
sites and report to the legislature,
making such recommendations as they
think proper for the guidance OF the
body In selecting a location. One of
the sites offered is the Sligo stock
farm property just on the western Dor
der OF the city. This is a large and
splendid stock farm completely stock
ed with q fne herd of graded cattle
and q dairy outfit Of the most up-to-
date pattern The farm con be bought
with or without the stock and dairy
outfit. 1t is an ideal location for the
institution and will doubtless attract
the attention OF the legislature.

Paul Gilmore, who has been playing
such a star engagement in the city
has been given a preliminary trial for
burglary. The first witness examined
was Manager Smith, of the New Ed
wards, from which hotel a large num-
Der of valuable things were stolen,
and later found in Gilmore's room.
Mr.. Smith identified the goods and
testified as to where they were located
before being stolen. A negro who
runs an eating house near the depot
testified that on July 8 Gilmore rented
q house from him. He said that two
weeks ago Gilmore asked to hire a
wagon to move some furniture. The
articles were brought in about 10
o'clock at night. The witness said
that there was another white man on
the wagon when he drove up, and he
believes that he could identify him if
he saw him again. The mayor placed
Gilmore under a bond of 5000 to
await the action of the grand jury.
There are other charges against Gill
more. he will probably be tried for
seduction and abduction n.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
The House of Representative Hold n
Session on Sunday in Memory
of Deceased Members.

Washington, Jan. 26.-The house of
representatives on Sunday inaugural
ed the experiment of holding memorial
services for deceased members upon
the Sabbath. 1t will be followed here
after during this session and probably
will become the general practice in
the house in the future. Heretofore,
except onvery rare occasions, the hous2
has broken in on its executive work
Friday and Saturday to listen to
eulogies on deceased members, but the
time has seldom been propitious and
latterly the practice has been meet
ing with growing disfavor On ac-
count of the pressure of public business
at this session it was decided to hold
these memorial sessions on Sunday and
during the course of their eulogies to-
day several members took occasion
to voice their commendation of the
innovation and to express their opinion
that it should be followed in the future.
At the session Sunday tribute was
paid to the life and public services of
the late Representative Russell, of
Connecticut, and Sheppard and Degraf-
fenreid, of Texas, each of whom died
during the congressional recess. The
attendance in the galleries was quite
large and there was a numerous as
semblage of the friends of the deceased
members on the floor.

PLOT IS Barred.
Prorress of Inver tigntion Into the
Bribery Charges Brought by
Congressman Lessler.

Washington, Jan. 26.-In the investi-
CATION Saturday by the house com
mittee on naval affairs of the charges
made by Congressman Lessler, of New
York, that an offer of $4,000 had been
made him for his vote in favor of an
appropriation for more Holland sub
marine boats, Philip Doblin testified
that such offer was in effect made by
Lemuel e. Quigg, of New York, to Mr..
Lessler through himself.
Lemuel Il. Quigg denied absolutely
the story of Doblin, the McCullagh
deputy, that he had ever spoken of
money to influence the vote of Con-
gresham Lessler He declared Doblin's
story "unfounded" and Lessler's ver-
sion of the interview in his Office "a
lie" John McCullagh also denied on
the stand Lessler's story that he had
threatened the congressman with poll
teal extinction if he kept up his opposi-
tion to the Holland submarine boat
bill.
The testimony so far developed
shows clearly that powerful lobby
was formed to push the bill for the
purchase of ten submarine boats of the
Holland type. Great pressure was
brought to bear to secure a favorable
vote on the bill in the committee on
naval affairs. Congressman Lessler,
at least, was offered cash bribe, ac-
cording to his own story and that of
Doblin, the "go-between." When that
failed he was threatened with politi-
cal extinction if he refused to support
the bill, and offered the bait of a con-
tinued congressional career if he
obeyed the lobby's orders. The politi-
cal threat was conveyed by Doblin
and then emphasized by John McCul-
lagh, state superintendent of elections
in New York.

Armagh, Ireland, Jan. ga great
fire broke out here Sunday and spread
so rapidly that the local fire brigade
was unable to cope with it, and assist
ance had to be sent for from Belfast,
35 miles distant. Ten of the largest
warehouses and shops in the center of
the town We're destroyed, the damage
being estimated at 100000. The trade
of the town is paralyzed by this de-
struction. The timely removal of a
quantity of dynamite from one of the
doomed stores averted worse disas-

Silk Waists are Daintier Than Ever

1T will seemingly never be posi-
6le to displace the shirt waist This
season Dame Fashion has decreed
that the complete costume of skirt
and bodice alike shall be the correct
thing, and it perhaps is, yet the
shirt waist still retains all its old
popularity, and is being seen iii
daintier materials, and more ex-
quisite style than ever before.
The daintiest blouses yet in sight
are made of sheer linen, hand en-
broidered tucked, and inset with
medallions and insertions of lace,
but these are only forerunners OF
summer styles which, no doubt, Will
:, be varied beyond precedent when the
full complement of summer waists
appear.
Silk waists we have with us al
ways, lined and unlined, boned and
unboned, and as simple and elab-
.orate as you fancy. The unlined
hand embroidered imported waists
of white and blue Louisine silk are
.delicately, daintily charming.
There are the same variations of
fine tucks, narrow bands joined with
an open stitch, to which many new
ones are added. A great many me-
dallions of lace are used, set in hit
or miss, it would seem, without
rhyme or reason apparently, and
you see them in the wash waists as
well as the silk ones.
Every kind of little trick in
which the needle can play u part is
applied to the blouse waists, and
much of the decoration is made of
the material itself. Yokes of little
bands fagoted together are quite
as popular as ever, but in the new
est models the bands assume new
forms, rounding down in front to
form a vest line possibly, or ar
ranged in any form fancy may die
tate so long as it is new and grace
full in design.
Lace bands and lace motifs are
also set in with the herring bone
stitches on either side of a tiny band
Coarse silk is used for the stitches.
1t is astonishing how much this
mode of adding the lace improves the
effect, no matter whether the ma
terial is wool, silk or linen. A wool
canvas is HOW uSeu lOr SnlTJ WdlSl Us
and squares of yak lace are an ap'
propriate trimming.
Pale blue silk waists seem to rank
next to white in popular favor, and
embroidered daintily with white they
are charming. The familiar outline
close in the back and bloused in
front, prevails, but some of the mod

In the matter of the winter tailor
mades New York is following much
after the fashions of London, where
the coat of the "mau about town"
ana the military man" are being
copied. So it is that we see in New
York good models of the guards
coat" as pictured above.
OF course, the realistic effect of
the military style is enhanced when
the coat is built in dark but bright
blue cloth, with pipings of scarlet
cloth to finish off the collar and
cuffs, the pocket flaps, and the strap
which holds in the slight fullness OF
the back at the waist, while sundry
gold buttons are also included in the
decorative scheme; but, on the other
hand, anyone who finds this coloripg
too striking will be well suited by
the grays or browns, with pipings OF
a deeper shade

Another example of the London
tailor-made is the pictured costume
of crimson zibeline frieze, with its
deeply basqued blouse coat, belted
in ut the waist by closely stitched
band and made distinctive by dou-
BILE cape collar whose novel shape is
accentuated by several rows of
stitching. Some pretty little buttons
of red enamel and gold put in a dec
orative appearance at either side of
the slightly-pouched fronts and are
also used to-apparently-fasten the
sleeves from the elbow to the wrist
these sleeves, too, you will note be-
ing in quite an original and very be-
coming shape. The gracefully hang
ing skirt is, in its turn, trimmed with
two encircling bands of stitched vel
vet exactly matching the frieze in
shade.

FAMINE IN SWEDEN.
Thousands of Persons in Frozen. Des-
olate. Region Face to Face
with Starvation.

Gellivare, Nort'' Sweden, Jan. 60
the famine district of northern Sweden
can hardly be realized without visit
of personal inspection. Here in this
desolate, frozen region thousands of
human beings are face to face with
actual starvation. Seventy thousand
persons are living on less than famine
rations. If relief supplies should
slacken temporarily thousands would
die of hunger. There are in this dis
trict 100000 head of cattle, horses and
sheep. These animals could, of course,
be slaughtered for food, but with the
live stock gone the condition of the
people would be hopeless for years to
come. 1t is estimated that $1000,000
will be needed to keep the people alive
until the new harvest is reaped next
August, and to purchase seed for the
spring planting. The Swedish govern
ment is facing the problem resolutely,
and will buy and import seed if enough
can be found raised far enough north
in America to ripen in the high alti-
tudes of Sweden. In spite of the ne
cessity of preserving the live stock
the starving people are killing their
fiocks and herds and even their milch
COWS, or selling them at ruinous prices
in order to obtain food.
New York, Jan. 26.-President
Roosevelt has contributed 500 to the
Christian Herald's famine fund for the
relief of the suffering peasantry OF
Finland, 100000 of whom are reported
to be on the verge of starvation. The
fund now exceeds $4,000.

at all like the real Venetian. No

they were cultivated, the soil being
