Cause of the Rustic.

Many women whose spring ward
robe includes q tailored gown have
complained about the noise made by
the silk lining. 1t does not rustic; 1t
rattles and scrapes and roars, and
many a woman who has started down
he aisle of a church or theater, proud
in the possession Of a well fitting gown,
has beer brought to shame by the
racket she kicked up In her triumphal
march. A fully matured western tor
nado carried in her skirts could not
produce a greater sensation In the as
sembled audience, and the humiliation
resulting from the undesired atten-
ton thus drawn upon herself has ended
in the lambasting of the luckless tailor.
In all cases the tailor deserved the
scolding. There was nothing the
matter with the silk used; 1t was sim
ply put on wrong. In order to save
time the thrifty sewers cut the silk
lengthwise and made an accordion
pleated ruffle, with the selvedge trail
ing on the ground, n 1t was the
scraping of that hard edge on carpets
and mating that caused he commo-
ton. The worst of 1t was that nobody
| seemed to know how to Quell the dis
turbance, and the unfortunate woman
either tucked the lining above trail
ing length or else continued to make
| things hum for several weeks before
some wise person found out that 1t was
the selvedge that did 1t, and that a hem
around the bottom of the ruffie would
lull the nerve-rasping storm into 0
soothing swish.

A BIRD OF THE NIGHT.


Pleasant avenue is n little New

mas long ceased to deserve such a
complimentary appellation. Principal

into q state Of ruin and decay, while
the road proper is filled with debris and

1t was in a little house, at the end

While he had succeeded in outwit-

no longer be safe for him to remain

simple furniture and moved in, occu-
plying the upper rooms. The others he
left to the mice and spiders. At least
he could not believe that he had prying
neighbors, for they worked too hard all
day to bother themselves about the
affairs of others, and since he had
moved in in the evening, n the

REGULATIONS FOR
The GENERAL STAFF
Committee Has Prepared Draft
to Garry Into Effect the
New Law.
CHIEF WILL BE POWERFUL
Head of tho General Staff Will Have
More Power Than Ever Before
: Given to an Army Officer in
Times of Peace.

Washington, June 13.-The commit
tee of twelve Of the general staff or
g~anization, Of which General Tasker
Bliss is chairman. has nearly complet-
ed a draft of regulations for he gov
rnmen OF the general staff. These
regulations. to carry the general star
act into effect, will make radical
changes in the army.
The HE OF staff will be an all-pow-
arful person, uniting In himself all the
theoretical authority exercised by the
commanding general under the present
Jaw, and the power heretofore unofh-
eially vested in the adjutant general.
The new regulations leave little or
nothing of the adjutant generals de-
partment, and less of the inspector
generals department. The ad1utant
general will keep the records as now,
and orders to the army will be promul-
gated and published by hiG; but the
,hief of staff will direct the issue OF
orders. He will be intermediate be-
tween the president and secretary of
var, and the army and stan bureaus
will receive instructions and orders
rom the chief Of staff In the name of
he secretary of war.

The regulations make the general
staff officers, on duty In Washington,
boards to consider all matters requir-
ng investigation and report, including
Inspections. The general staff will
recommend officers for detail M pro-
notion and will ave charge of the en-
istment and recruiting of soldiers.
An important feature not yet wholly
determined relates to the officers de-
allied from the general staff to various
trmy departments. The regulations as
prepared provide that officers so de-
allied, either to the department or with

ONE day to be surgeon-general of the
IaVy.
A good part OF his naval career was
pent at Annapolis. 1t was while on
.uty there that the first sign of domes-
ic trouble occurred.
Two years before he had married
Hiss Bemiss, the daughter of John
2emiss, one of the great planters of
louisiana.
She was the granddaughter of Judge
William EVerette Edwards of the SUI

She was Dtarried on December II,

Miss Walker is now at her home

In 1887 Miss Walker visited her
'riends for two months at Annapolis.
When she departed Mrs. Barber left
Ter husband, and they have since been
astranged. Shortly after this DR.. Bar
Der was ordered to sea.
When he returned in 1900, after sew

tnstigating suit for divorce.
His cause for action was named as
habitual drunkenness on the part of

against her was Miss Walker.
Mrs. Barber did not enter a counter
suit, but to discredit Miss Walkers
testimony she swore that her husband
was too friendly with Miss Walker.
