There is a talk among the authori-
ties of making the tails on basqued
coats adjustable. This alteration. as
you see. does not promise much for the
popularity of the new shape. Many. of

scarlet. vivid. green and royal blue on

MRS. HORACE PORTER DEAD.
Wife of American Ambassador Passes
 Away In Paris.

Paris, April 6-Mrs. Horace Porter, wife of the American ambassador. died here suddenly at o'clock this afternoon from congestion following a chill.
 The death of Mrs. Porter came with very great suddenness. making the shock to the ambassador doubly severe. She returned from Switzerland only few days ago after stay of some weeks there for her health. Mrs. Porter ap- peared much improved, but was still suf- fering from influenza, which finally brought on a chill This in turn developed into inflammation of the lungs, but 1t was not until today that her condition was regarded as really serious. She grad ually failed, however, until the end came. General Porter, Mrs. Porter's brother, General Wlnslow and the attending phy- sicians were at the bedside. The ambas- sador is completely prostrated.

RIVER SITUATION BETTER.
Outlet at Hymella Has Not Yet Been
 Closed-Plenty of Men.

New Orleans, April 6.-The river condi- tions in Louisiana today were without important developments. During the day the gauge here was 20,3, equal to the highest figures reached here this season. The outlet at Hymella has not yet been closed and until the work there has been accomplished, 1t is difficult to estimate what maximum will be reached Advices from Hymelia say that the differences with the laborers have been straighten- ed out and there are as many men now available as can be employed Stacking has been steadily in progress. The crib ping continues to hold.
 Reports from Magnolia say all danger there has apparently passed. The caving has ceased and the flow of water into the plantation has been practically stop ped Work on a mud box has begun to make the cribbihg secure.

Methods Used in Conducting Trial &c.,
 vereIy Criticised.

Paris, April 6.-The Dreyfus affair was brought up in the chamber of deputies to- day by M. J. Aures, socialist, during discussion of the validation of the cleo : ton of M. syreton, nationalist republican. Nj. J. Aurez asserted that M. syreton had attacked the republican group on the ground that they were the agents of for eigners but the speaker proposed to show that the real friends of the foreigners were those who. during four years. "es- tabished their case through falsified signature of a foreign emperor
 This alluded to the letter of the German emperor which is said to have been in- troduced into some of the private papers in the Dreyfus case. M. J. Aures, con- tinuing made an extended review of the affair and severely criticised the methods which led up to the conviction of Dreyfus. The speech attracted great interest and aroused many demonstrations of approval and disapproval

TORTURINC
 DISFIGURINC Skin, Scalp and Blood
 Humours From PImpISs to Scrofula From Infancy to Aga Speedily Cured by CutIcura When All Else Fails.

The agonizing itching and burning Of the skin, as In Eczema; the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis; the loss of hair and crustlng of the scalp, as in sealed head; the facial disfgurements, as in acne and ringworm the awful suffer- ing of infants, and anxiety of worn- out parents, as in milk crust, totter and salt rheum,-all demand remedy of almost superhuman virtues to success fully cope with them. That Cutlcura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement Is made regarding them that Is not justified by the strongest evi- dence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy, have made them the standard skin cures, blood purifiers and humour reme- dies of the civilized world.
 Bathe the affected parts with hot water and Cuttcura Soap, to cleanse the surface of crusts and scales and soften the thickeued cuticle. Dry, without rubbing, and apply Cuticura Oint- ment freely. to aflsy itching, irritation and inflammation, aud sooths and heal, and, lastly. take Cuticura Rcsolvsnt, to cool and cleanse the blood. This com plete local and constitutional treatment affords instant relief, permits rest and sleep in ths severest forms of eczema and other itching. burning and scaly humours of the skin, scalp and blood, and points to speedy, permanent and economical cure when ail else fails.

The big pitcher popped one up between the pitcher ana third base and right here came a most masterfnl piece of dumb playing Bradley Gouchnauer.

In the meantime hagu're had trotted home with the run that tied the score.
 Cleveland Wins In Eighth.
 In the eighth inning Cleveland got base on balls after two men were out and Bradley hit safe, sending Baey to third. Bradley then stole second and 1t began to look scary.

He threw low to first, however and Mcconnell fumbled the play. allowing Baey to cross lut pldles I1lChIndn Nenl Oul io SNNChA and the run-getting by the Bluebirds was ended.
 In the ninth inning Leighton drew a base on balls and was advanced to second on OBrien's grounder. Mcguire flied out to right, but Millerek had another hit left in him and cracked the ball into center for single. Leighton scored.

THEY'RE JUST PIRATES.
And Strikers Who Board Lake Boats
Will Get Hot Water Cure.

Chicago, April 20.-Following a long
and hard fought battle along the river
front between the striking .firemen and
non-union men, orders were received
from w. II. Johnson, agent Of the An
Choir line, by his captains to treat
strikers boarding or attempting to
board their vessels as pirates. He stated
that the federal laws would protect the
company If the men were killed.
Eugene j. Henry agent for the Can
ada Atlantic line, n j. j. Young,
agent for the Rutland line, both upheld
Johnson's legal power to do Is he Or
dered.
They are not tied up to dock, and the
Chicago river is under the federal gov
ernment." said Henry. He certainly
has power to treat the strikers as
pirates"
They may shoot them If they want
TO, but / think he probably will be able
TO keep them off by turning the hot
water hose on them"
"He could give such riders under the
law" said Young. II believe he has fun
legal right, and they could shoot the
men or pretty much anything else they
pleased"
The fight that save rise to the orders
was the first serious one since the strike
started. 1t was begun by the striking
firemen. They attempted, successfully.
to remove ~non-union men from boats
leaving port.
In several instances there were acts
Of violence n large gangs of strikers
t%hronged the docks where vessels were
preparing to depart. Two non-union
men were taken from the steamer
Lycoming and held in the union hall at
SO kinZie street.
