He announced year or so ago that he
would not be candidate for reelec-
ton. That was when he was ill and
felt his life might depend on his with
drawal from public life.
He is better now. In fact. he is better
than he has been before in years, and
the members of the organization think
he had better remain in the senate
thus preventing fight for the success
sion, which is always unpleasant in a
state where the machine likes to see
itself running smoothly without any
creaking of the joints. The chances
are that Quay will be reelected by the
machine and that he will agree to serve
again.
Quay has always been regarded as an
Indian in politics. He never forgets a
friend or forgives an enemy. 1t is not
generally known, however, that Quay
is really of Indian descent, and that he
is very proud of it. If he had his
right he would be chief Of tribe which

they always send for him and they al

function in Washington. They are
proud of him and he seems TO be
equally proud Of them.

FEMININE FINERY.
A Variety of Novelties and New Nos
tiOns In Evidence in the
Latest Costumes.

Garnet, ruby and tokay are shades of
red promised considerable vogue this
winter.
White -satins with raised panne floral
designs are among the novelties of the
season.
Braid and cloth will be employed for
the ornamentation of velvet gowns for
day wear.
To lend touch of brightness TO gray
costumes. dark orange velvet is en-
ployed for garniture.
Narrow cravats of ermine or moleskin
are finished with deep fringe of chenille
in colors to match.
New silk evening petticoats, partic-
ularly the imported ones, are finished
with very deep flounces.
2 Some of the new satins are exquisite
in texture, particularly one variety,
which is as soft as spun silk.
White velvet or panne, embroidered
with chenille dots in different colors,
represents novelty in garnitures.
In velvet all shades of gray, from sill
yer to gunmetal, ivory to champagne
and pastel blue pink and mauve will be
worn for evenings.
AS hair ornament the bow in glace
silk or black or colored velvet is more
fayor.d than the old-time aigrette or
spangled butterfly.
A novel combination of Partisan origin
is that of crepe de chine and velvet, the
latter as a trimming in a paler tint
than the sheer fabric it adorns.
Bracelets from the severely plain to
the deliberately decorated varieties are
expected TO have a greater vogue this
season than for some time past.
One of the new silks crepes shows
raised empire wreaths of roses in pastel
pink, blue and other shades on whit,
palest pink, green, blue or yellow
ground.
Velvet of soft, pliable texture and in
varying shades of purple and plum is
being largely utilized by Partisan mod
istes for waists. Gold braid, lace ard
buttons constitute the trimmings.
Black satin ribbon stripes the entire
skirt of a black tucked point d'esprit

gown Is made over white satin and
spangled with small silver spangles.

He then proceeded to deliver a ram

it must not be given to the public in
the form in which 1t was delivered.
Hit accordingly wrote it out and sub

the endeavor to make its master EN-

The enterprise did not meet with sue

the many seductions that invite one to

Considerable study has been made Of
the question OF defense for the Hawaii
an islands, but active measures for es-
tablishing a naval station at Pearl
Harbor have been delayed from time to
time. The preliminary projects for
Pearl Harbor were in readiness quite
a while before congress voted the re-
quired money for the improvements,
and after the sum was voted the work
was further postponed. The Army and
Navy Journal, commenting on the
''uncompleted links in our chain of ma
tional defenses," says that the work
projected at Pearl Harbor is of special
Importance and should be pushed to
completion with all possible speed, but
that it would be downright folly to eS-
tablish the station without properly
fortifying it "a first-class naval base
at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, and an
other in the Philippines, both adequate
ly fortified, would be almost indispen-
