OUR COAST DEFENSE.
Scheme to Guard Ocean, Gulf and Lake Ports.

LdhC L O1 l6s
 WASHINGTON, May 3O.-The naval general board has completed it's elab- crate scheme, for. the defense of the Atlantic, Pacific, gulf and great lakes coasts of the United States. Admiral Dewey declares the scheme to be "vi- tally important to the country at large" The purpose is to approximate an impregnable defense of the entire coast line of the United States and its foreign possessions.
 Acting Secretary Darling signed the instructions to the commandants of the thirteen naval districts into which the country has been divided regarding the establishment of permanent ba- sis of the naval patrol. The duty of the patrol will be to secure and for ward information and to communicate with ships at sea. The treasury, war and Agricultural departments will CO., operate with the navy in this work. The general lines of the coast signal service, put in operation during the war with Spain, will be followed. Spe- cial naval patrol stations, life saving 
 army signal stations, coast stations of the weather bureau and auxiliary scouting, lookout or patrol ships, all will be called on to participate in the scheme, and at appropriate stations tel egraph, telephone, cable and wireless means of communication will be pro- vided and kept constantly in working condition. The naval militia to large extent will be called on to make up the naval patrol crews.
 According to the orders issued put ting the scheme into effect, should war break out the commanders in chief af1oat will be furnished list of the naval patrol stations within the limits of their command and also a private signal to be used in communica ting with these. Until this signal shall have been given the naval patrol stations are forbidden to give any information to ships. The general policy contemplates centralization in the commandant of each naval district of the direction of the auxiliary forces of that district, including enrolment, records, organi- zation and development of the naval reserves SD lar dS dPp1ASdpA0 Co LA0 state naval militia.
 International signal flags and books and wigwag flags will be used until the board devises a comprehensive and efficient signal system.
 Keen interest is evidenced by army and navy officers in the defense plan. It is believed to be the most effective system of defense of our coast ever drawn up. s.

dences of an effort on the part of the people to observe the day in a fitting manner.
 The United Italian societies, headed by the Marine band, held parade this afternoon and decorated the graves of their deceased members.
 Several old time residents of Water bury who now reside in other places, are spending the day in town and many who work here, but whose homes are in other parts of the state, left last night or this morning to visit the scenes of their younger years.
 Owing to the unusually large num- Der of women and children at St Jos eph's cemetery, it was decided to have eX-Representative John l.. Sake make a few remarks. He spoke of the day and its memories and expressed much pleasure at the interest shown by those about him in keeping green in the minds of the rising generation the deeds of the men who maintained the honor and greatness of the flag on land and on sea from '61 to '65, and hoped that if a similar sacrifice ever should be demanded from the people of this country the same courage, valour and sef-sacrifcing spirit that animated their fathers would be found in them.

Treasures of the Sen.

Divers recently raised from the Mediterranean, off Sicily, about thirty old guns which, they say, belonged to the Dutch and Spanish ships sunk by the French in 1676 At any rate, nine of the guns are adorned with the ancient insignia of the Netherlands. There is greater treasure in the sea than out-of-date guns, and when sub marine navigation has become safer, one may expect exploring expeditions in the great deep which will yield G. suits as rich as any which crown the efforts of explorers on land.

FASHIONS FRILLS.
Fresh Bits of Feminine Finery That
VIII Be in Vogue for the
Spring.

Orange and white is favored combi-
nation, particularly for house gowns
and blouses.
Silver lace and embroideries have
been seen at number of recent fash
ionable weddings.
The pouch bodice and cross-over
coatee are to be worn, though the
pouch is distinctly modified.
1t is predicted that black straw hats
will be worn extensively next season,
entirely superseding white, reports
the Brooklyn Eagle.
Novelties in veilings include coarse
meshed plaids in nets and clustered
chenille dots in malines.
Drawn work or Paraguay effects in
lace and the same or Madeira stitch in
embroideries are much in vogue.
Drawnwork of collars, cuffs and
stocks in hand-worked designs make
dressv accessories for street or evening
costumes.
Dropping trimmings will prevail in
the millinery modes of the coming sea-
son, the idea being to add nothing to
the height of the hat.
There is an increasing fancy for in
Producing a little color into brides
dresses, but it is very slight, so as not
to destroy the white effect.
GIace satin straws are the novelty in
the millinery line and the preferred
colors are deep brown, yellow, dark
and pale blue. scarlet and blush green.
Pastel blue cloth is a favored spring
color, and on a model shown recently
the cape collar was an important fac
tor while another noticeable detail
was the white silk applications en-
broidered in black, which were insert
ed into the side seams of the bolero.
Skirts will be cut little longer and
fuller this spring and the thicker laces
will be in great request, as will the
fancy chenille and silk ornaments for
trimming purposes.
A marked change will be noticed in
the spring and summer hats from pre-
vailing styles, the new models being
mounted on bandeaux, thus raising
them a trife above the hair.
One of the prettiest princess gowns
seen this season was of white mousse
line de sole, accordion plated. having
frort and back panel Of point de Venise
lace; the corsage was cut en- bolero,
and the only touch of color was intro
duced in the yoke of orange velvet en-
broidered in white silk and seed pearls.

IN FASHIONS REALM.
Many Pretty Novelties for the DeIcc-

White velveteen of an inexpensive
quality and said to be washab bic is much
favored for morning wear in the house,
with white cloth or serge skirts.
For negligees and tea gowns eau de

ticularfy effective with trimming OF
cream lace spangled with mother of
pearl.
A prominent feature of the spring
costumes will be the cuffs. Even the
plainest walking gowns will be distin-

of the gauntlet type
A milliner has introduced a new hat
pin. the head of which is made of a
neat little pompon of chenille. Worn
with felt hat it looks as if it was part
| of the trimming.
Cloth of two colors and types will be
used on one frock, cloth strappings
will decorate velvet and vice versa, and
| lace motifs will be tinted to match the
| gown they embelllsh.
For the long-tailed coat considerable
vogue is predicted this season. 1t is
an especially smart garment on tai

with vest of soft lace and chiffon.
The most attractive form in which
the separate fancy waist has made its
appearance this season is in ivory vel

with small gold buttons.
A charming spring model in millinery
is of white MORE silk, draped with
