Gun metal in dress material. silks
for ties, velvets for hats and in but
tons is exceedingly fashionable just
now. Shirt waists have decorations
made of bands of velvet ribbon, and on
These are set several handsome buttons
OF this metal. These buttons are made
in different shapes and sizes, some be-
ing oval and others pointed at the ends.
These are called olives. They are
snowy, and when in steel set on a
dark and rather dull color they light

each side; also on the cuffs and collar.
This braid is offered in all the combi-
nations of color of the season and in
very many really artistic designs.
Some of them are as fine as lace and.
being made of silk, give an effect not
obtained by any other trimming, this
being partly due to the fact that it is
So flexible that sharp corners can be
turned and many new arrangements
made which would not be possible
with ribbon or with lace alone.
Among the stuffs made almost exclu-
sively for the shirt waist is a new ma
terial in the flannel order which. it is
claimed, will not shrink in washing.
This is great drawback in most
fiannes. 1t is produced in all the colors
now in vogue in designs suitable for
the material, but it has not struck me
as being very pretty.
For evening wear there is a great va
riety of silks and china grapes, and
some of the new mohairs are pretty
enough to be used for this purpose. The
liberty silks. taffetas, bleached pom.
gees, some brocades and some china
grapes are adapted to the making of
evening waists for theater and inform
al occasions where full dress Is not re-
quired. They are made on the same
lines as those here shown, but lace and
embroidery and fancy stitches, fine
castle braids and fancy buttons are all
applied as trimming.
While was trying to find out all
could about waists | saw some gar
ments intended for the intimacy of
ones own room. and. though perhaps
they are out of place here. yet shall
mention them. One was a wrapper in
soft wool de laine, with a small red dot
on a gray ground. The gray was that
known as French. and the red was

made in princess shape. while the front
hung loose from lace yoke to the feet

COMMERCE AND INDUSTRIES

certainly by none on or near the 18TH

, Business has been anything but good
during the last year. This is due tC
doubts raised in regard to the canal
England and France buy pearls to the
amount of fully 100000 annually. The
value of the imports of Panama ara
not much, If any, larger than it's ex-
ports. They come from England, Ger
many, France, Italy, and the United
States, and consist largely of wearing
apparel of all kinds, canned goods, Ii
quors, hardware, etc. The United
States has less trade than it might
have did its merchants and manufac-
turers cater to the wants of the peo-
pie as to styles and quantities desired.
There are three steamship lines from
Panama, viz: CD the Pacific Mail, (2)
, the Pacific Steam Navigation COM
pany, and (3) the South American
Steamship company. There is only one
railroad on the isthmus. the Panama
railroad, which runs from Panama to
Colon, forty seven miles. Two passen-
ger and two freight trains leave each
terminal daily. The trip for passengers
lasts three hours. The fares, with
baggage, are. in gold: First class,
$40; second class, IS: without baggage,
81 and 50, respectively. 1t takes seven
days to get from Panama to the At
lantic ports of the United States-Bal-
timore, Boston, New York Philadelphia
and twenty days to reach Can Fran
cisco.
Panama is in Geographic communi-
cation with all parts of the world but
because of delays it takes at least four
hours to send a message, and to get a
reply from the United States often
takes day.
The postal charges are: Foreign 20
cents Columbian silver per Is grams;
domestic. 10 cents per Is grams. Pack
ages from Colon to Panama pay 25
cents gold per package.
The impression prevails that the lend
between Panama and Colon is rich in
mineral deposits, and there is every
reason to think that the popular be.
lief is not without considerable foun-
iation in fact. Reports have reached
Panama of rich deposits in the verag,la
'egion.

attention to the needs and demands of

The commerce of Panama amounts
to about 100000 per annum, its pop
ulaton to about 300, 900, and it's area to
31,571 square miles, or nearly equal to
that of the state of Indiana. These
figures are compiled by the bureau of
statistics. The statistics of popula-
ton are based upon the latest official
estimate, which shows the population
in 1881, which was based upon the CEN
sus of 1871; while the figures of area
are from accepted geographical author
tiles and are those of the area of the
department of Panama" of the Colom-
bian republic. The principal ports are
Panama, on the Pacific coast, and
Colon, on the Atlantic side and these
ports are visited annually by more
than 1000 vessels which land over
100000 tons of merchandise and near
ly 100000 passengers chiefly for trans
fer over the Panama railway, forty
seven miles in length, connecting the
Pacific port of Panama with the At
lantic port of Colon.
Colon, or Aspinwall, as it is some
times called. has a population of about
5000 persons. The population is COM
posed of various acknowledgement,
Indian, negro. and a limited number of
persons from the European countries
and the United States, especially those
engaged in commerce and transporta-
ton and the operation of the Panama
railway. A considerable number of the
population is composed of persons

of their descendants. Since the aboli-
ton of slavery in Jamaica consider ,
