FR1LLs OF FASHION.
Hints in advance of What VIII Ne
Worn During the Coming
Season.

Solid ropes of pearls twisted to-
gether are used as girdles for price
less lace gowns by the favored few
who can spend all they desire on dress.
A girdle of jet with the same stones
skillfully introduced throughout is
drawn around the waist and the ends
hang down almost to the edge of this
stunning gown.
The tea gown of the present day is
such a beautiful and luxurious affair
that it may well be asked where the
tea gown stops and where the dinner
dress begins.
Yak lace or heavy cluny dyed to
match material is much used upon
wooden frocEs. The cloth is. cut away
under the lace, and a chiffon lining
is used to soften the effect.
The craze for ornamentation of
every description is getting daily more
marked. A fancy for beautiful design
in precious stones is a very praise
worthy one, but if you would he we'll
dressed avoid tawdry rubbish OF every
description, says a fashion authority.
Many hats still have most of their
trimming on the underside of the
brim, but milliners promise a complete
change and predict the fall of a sin
gle dropping feather. In millinery
decorations as well as in every other
department. of dress oddity is the key
note.
1t will be an embroidery season as
well as a lace Linen gowns
will be decorated with separate en-
broidery motifs just as the silk and
velvet gowns of the winter showed
separate lace appliques. And the
skirts will show conspicuously large
festoons of embroidery. Cotton braids
will be fashionable, arranged not only
in vertical bands but in decorative de-
signs.
These paillettes shade from almost
black to dull blues and green, with sug-
gestions of lighter tints of both col
orS.
Very noticeable is an evening gown
of black net and metallic paillettes
over white chiffon and an undermining
of white taffeta-
AL the popular silks will be em-
ployed for the making of these dainty
creations. Taffeta, peau de sole and
liberty satin are the f~avorites, al
though louisine and fancy silks are
not forgotten.
Fashion seems set against anything
cumbrous-looking or overheavy in the
way of trimming. Small flowers will
have the preference over large blooms,
and. neat, compact-looking clusters
will succeed the large, snowy punches.

WHY HE UP.
stingy Hotel Guest for Once in His
Life Had to Hand Out a Tip
- for Service.

One of the Waldorf bellboys who
had just entered the service of the
hotel, and consequently was unable
to discriminate between. the more
profitable patrons and those who
merely used the hotel as a meeting
place, calming appropriating it's read
ing ROOM, stationery, and in fact every
convenience the use of which would
not entail parting with the coin of the
realm. He soon discovered, however,
that, in the parlance Of the other boys,
such habitues were known as "stiffe,"
says the New York Times.
1t; was during the second morning
of his service there that an imposing
looking stranger entered and stood
directly before the bellboys' bench.
At once the new boy, on tip intent,
sprang to his feet and began to dust
off the newcomer with praiseworthy
vigor. When he paused for breath his
ear caught the warning whisper of
"stiff; worst kind" while a glance at
the waiting line of boys showed that
nearly all were convulsed with the
effort to refrain from laughing aloud.
However, he was game" and kept on
brushing away for dear life. Sudden

caught a full view of the grinning Mer-
curys.
what are those boys laughing at?"
he asked, affably.
"Well," returned young buttons,
with affected embarrassment, sthey're
laughing at me You see, they say
you're a 'stiff,' and they think you
won't give me anything for brushing
you off,"
"They do, do they?'' snarled the
"stif." Then, with a mighty effort he
"limbered up" sufficiently to hand a
dollar bill to the relieved boy. ''Here,"
he said, saSagely. 'You show 'em that
and tell them I'll have every last one
of them discharged"
AS he has never since presented him
self for further attention, it is. pre-
sumed that he is now patronizing some
hotel where the employees do not culti-f
vate a n of humor.

TOBACCO USERS ARE SLOW.

Like all elements which have an
effect upon the nerves, tobacco diff
fers widely in its action upon differ
ent individuals and no sweeping
statements can be made, says
Worlds Work. Upon most constitu-
tions it's action is ~deleterious. 1t is
always injurious before the period
of complete development and cannot
be used before the age of rs without
harm. Dr.. Seaver, director of the
physical laboratory at Yale, tabulat-

years, when all the young men were
examined and measured. The smok-

AS regards the effect of nicotine on

interpret this as meaning that men

and burning torches placed between theil
fingers. In this way many were roasted
alive. Slender cords were wound round
| the heads of the men, and twisted until
their ewes burst from their sockets. Every
day for nearly two weeks the town re.
sounded day and night with the screams
and cries of the tortured. Crime such as
is seldom seen was enacted here, and modes
of torture were invented that rivaled in in
genuity of cruelty the inhuman devices OF
the Inquisition.
Weary of scenes of bloodshed and suf-
fering, Morgan finally sailed away but, to
the dismay of his crew, found the entrance
to the harbor blocked by three Spanish
warships in the same manner that the feet
of Cevera was blockaded in Santiago harbor.
They had also rebuilt the fort at the mouth
of the harbor, but, undismayed, Morgan
coolly removed the plunder and prisoners
from his largest vessel to the smaller ships
of his fleet, and filled it with all the gun
powder, pitch, tar, rosin, and other COM
bustibles that he could find in Maracaibo.
Then he mounted wooden cannon about
over the vessel, and covered the decks with
posts dressed to resemble me. Having
finished all this he sent word to the Spanish
commander, stating that unless he paid a
heavy ransom for Maracaibo he would burn
the place to the ground.
The Spanish admiral replied that unless
he surrendered in three days he would enter
the harbor and pay the ransom in lead.
This brought matters to head, and next
morning Morgan sailed down the harbor,
single file, after the same manner Of Cervera
leaving Santiago Harbor, the dummy ship
leading, in charge of few resolute men,
who, at signal from Morgan, were to ap-
ply the match to the fuses and escape in a
small boat to the other ships. When the
Spanish admiral saw the first vessel of
Morgan's squadron coming out of the har-
Dor and heading directly toward him he
sailed in to meet him, graphing and making
fast to the vessel sides for what he ex-
pected would be a hand to hand conflict.
Then the matches were applied, and
pandemonium followed. The Spanish ad-
miral could not unfasten the chains and
clamps with which he had fastened his own
vessel to what he thought was Morgan s
flagship, and in few minutes his own ship
was ablaze from stem to stern. He and
the members of his crew jumped overheard
to drown rather than to fall into the hands
of Morgan while the two remaining vessels
of his feet were run aground and aban-
doned by the officers and crews, who fled
to the woods.
The fort, farther down the harbor, had
still to be passed, but Morgan executed a
maneuver which threw the garrison into a
state of alarm, causing them to expect an
attack in the rear, and to meet this threat
ened onslaught they removed their cannon
to a point some distance from the fort.
When this was done Morgan sailed out of
the harbor, his sailors jeering at the Span
ish garrison, who were unable to bring
their ordnance back in time to fire on the
bold and resourceful pirate.

friendly to the saloon and liquor inter,
