THE NEW SKIRTS.

Naturally much interest is manifest
ed in the kind of skirt that will be fash
ionable during the coming season.
Everything points to banded trimmings
and stitchings with a multiplicity of
small tucks, or the space taken up with
three or four very deep ones. In the
latter case applied tucks are more eff
fective, in fact are almost a necessity,
owing to the flare given the new
skirts from the knees down; this is de-
cidedly more pronounced than over.

the services of physicians were requir-

These fainting spells were the result
of a combination of biliousness and
heat.

Alice.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York. Dec. 5.-In less than two
years a remarkable check has been placed
on the ravages Of consumption, and its
horrors have been minimized by the joint
energy, persistence and determination of
two ofthis city's departments-Healtha and
Charities.
Important. however, as the achieve
ments in lessening the dangers Of the dis
ease have been, they afford only a demon
stration, an object lesson, of what may be
done along the same lines with greater
facilities.

mating this disease was taken in 1897,

was adopted by the Board of Health de-
