pPomIaRnL cardInal threw an interest ing side light upon the chances of Rampolla. Leo's secretary ofEstate has been consistently abused recently by the government papers for his temporal power policy.
 T ana not so sure," said the cardinal, "that the public attacks upon Cardinal Rampolla by the government are not inspired with a view of working up among Catholics and cardinals a spirit of enthusiasm for him which might greatly increase his chances of election. Indeed I am pretty certain that the Italian government would not be at all sorry to see Cardinal Rampolla wear the tiara, as at heart I do not believe the government has any serious dispo- gition to alter the existing relations between the Vati1n and the Quirinal."
 Before entering the conclave Cardinal Gibbons denied that any statements on the situation had been made by him while in Rome and also all published accounts of conversations he is alleged to have had with private individuals, referring especially to the statements of the Italia to the effect that he had criticised the policy of Rampolla.
 Until the conclave is ended 700 Ital- Ian troops will remain in the piazza of St. Peters. Mounted carabineers and policemen will patrol the walls of the Vatican.
 The streets adjacent to the Vatican will be watched day and night by four detachments of guards. while an extra force of police wiS do duty in the streets of the Borgo district.

FEMININE FASHIONS.
Pretty Bits of Emery That Go to Make
 Up the Season's Smart [ Costumes.


 haS 8 deep hounce of sun-p1aited silk, panels of the plating being separated by panels of hairline tucks The bot .om of the flounce is finished with a pinked-out ruching This kind of a aounce in walking length gives the suter skirt good flare at the ankles.
 For cool summer evenings there aHe pretty knitted shawls. shaped to the shoulders. and they are seen in all light and pastel shades. says the New York Post.
 There is a difference between the winter and summer dinner dress. The thin dinner gown is rarely cut low. It. may be slightly at the neck, but is not decollete gown in any sense. This is true everywhere except at the most fashionable summer places, Newport, for example, where no difference Is made in the conduct of life. winter and summer. s Hats of printed straw are reported from Paris The straw is fine and white. resembling Panama, and on crown and brim are printed designs in black. brown, blue or red A very narrow ribbon matching the design in color encircles the crown. These hats are for yachting and other outdoor sports.
 The old-fashioned dotted veilings. 30 bad for the eyes, the oculists say, are again enjoying favor. They are said to be the veils which will be most worn in the autumn. Black and white vei1- ings have gone out almost altogether. Colored chiffon veils are also going. The only colors called for to any great extent are dark green, blue and brown. Hardly anyone wears the pink and pale blue veils seen early in the spring.
 The tub lat is one of the seasons novelties 1t is made of allover em- broidery, the openwork English designs over 8 wide, round shape, the crown be- ing fulled on, and the brim made of a ruf1e of the embroidery very slightly fulled This ldroops over the edge of the shape A wide ribbon scarf of pink liberty silk Is tied in front in large 1 loops
 1 White-dotted net is the material used in simple but extremely pretty gown. The full skirt is shirred at the top, and has simulated yoke of lace banding |
 which encircles the hips and falls in two long lines to the bottom of the skirt. 1 Two rows of rather large medallions are inset on the skirt, which is finished with ruching of the net. The waist has deep collar yoke of lace and row of the lace medallions some distance below the bottom of the yoke. The sleeves are shirred at the top and fall full and unconfined to the wrists. A wide crush girdle of burnt orange velvet Is an agreeable finish.
 A black-dotted net over pale blue taffeta slip has full skirt confined at the top by two wide bands of black lace. A round yoke of the lace forms the top of the bodice and covers the shoulder caps Rows of narrow velvet ribbon are over the lace. More velvet ribbon Is seen on the lower part of the bodice and the elbow ruff1es which make the sleeves. A sash of very wide velvet rib- bon has long ends.

Stream a Portion Of the F Bridge Sank.
 PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 1.-Over 100 people were precipitated into the Will amette river here. Thousands of peo- ole had congregated on the Morrison street bridge to watch Clarence Lutz, an armless man, swim the Willamette river, which is about three-eighths of a mile wide, The people crowded against the railing of the passenger track of the bridge, which is an old yructure.
 Three people are known to have been drowned and twenty five were injured by falling t1mbers or by falling on the boathouse below the bridge.
 Just after Lutz reached shore DOT ton of the bridge collapsed and pre- cipitated mass of people on to boat house moored under the bridge. Many people slid off the boathouse into the river, but it is thought that almost all were picked up by the dozens of small boats in the vicinity.
 The bridge was crowded to the rails. One span 150 feet long gave way, car rying all those who were within its limits to the water, about thirty five feet below. The banks of the river for block on either side were crowded with spectators watching the swim ming exhibition when the bridge gave way, and inside of two minutes dozens of skiffs were on the scene picking up people struggling in the water.

Great Growing Oranges.

General State Deputy Dana II. Morse
has been at work in Addison county for
the past month explaining the aims and
objects of the Patrons of Husbandry
with the result that he has organized
three of the strongest and best oranges
in the state, one each in Bridport, Shore
ham and Cornwall. The one in Corn
wall was organized Monday night with
5S charter members and d. p. d.
Mathews as Master. Mr.. Morse informs
us that he has never in all his work in
this state met a better or more intelli-
gent class of farmers than in these three
growing oranges
The grange is a great educational
fraternal society that seeks to make the
farmers life better, more enjoyable, and
his occupation more profitable. The
best farmers of the state are members of
it, and wherever its merits are explained
it grows fast.

a Great Success,

AS predicted by this paper, the third
annual ball of Addison court, No. 1, ,112,
CatE. &C Order of Foresters, at the Opera
house Friday night, was the social sue
cess of the season. Over eighty couples
were present and nearly every town in
the county was well represented. Most
excellent music was furnished by the
Middlebury orchestra under the direc-
tion of Amede Lavonche. The grand
march at $3.50 was led by John Lavery
and wife, and the Orwell delegation of
ten couples. The dance programmes
furnished by the Register Co. were the
cause of many favorable remarks.
The concert from to was enjoyed
by large number of people and was
especially good. The banquet served in
the room under the hall by George Kid
der was one of the best this well known
caterer has ever served.
The success of this event was largely
due to the untiring efforts of the COM
mittee of arrangements, George Kidder,
George Goyett and Bruno Lacroix, who
were heartily seconded by all the men,
bers of the court.
A good sum will remain after paying
all expenses, which will be used in i'm
proving the property of the order next
to the Register block.

a Grand Success.

The third annual Washington's Birth
day banquet, of Middlebury college, was
held at the Addison house last Monday
evening. Over one hundred and thirty
covers were laid. The tables were very
prettily decorated, each one finding a
favor at his place, some a hatchet, and
others bunch of cherries. Though the
largest number sat down that were ever
served at the Addison, yet everything
was so well arranged by Landlord and
Mrs. Higgins that there were no tedious
waits.
After the dinner, A. f. Taylor, 'O3 as
president, took charge and in a few well
chosen words introduced ii. +. Harvey.
'O3, who, as orator of the day, delivered
the address upon Washington. He was

Governor Mccullough has ordered an
investigation of the recent unfortunate
death by scalding of Mrs. Sarah c. Ben
nett, of Calais, an aged inmate of the

erbury. The officials who will conduct
the investigation are the supervisors of

the other able players in the cast, Ii must
be added that every one having a part OF
any Importance contributed to the great
success OF the performance. Toby CLAUDE
is a comedy all in herself. She Is a bundle
of vivacity-a wee bundle-and she knows
how TO bring out the best points In her lines
and her songs Her comical musical num-
bers. ''Twiddley Bits and 81 Want TO Be
a Idly" were encored again and again
last night. and the audience could not get
enough OF her funny little personality and
her original methods of provoking mirth.
W.. II. Clarke, with his splendid bass
voice. makes an ideal Emperor, and Ed
ward Clarke-no relation-acts and sings
his character OF Tom Hatherton in excel
graceful as Mrs. Pineapple, and although
her soprano voice is almost too shrili to be
entirely musical, she carries her share or
the score acceptably and makes one of the
pronounced hits of the performance in her
duet with Edmund Lawrence, AT the
Play Mr.. Lawrence has but little 0pp0r-
tunity as the Lord Chancellor to display
his ability, but whatever he does is done
well, and his good baritone Is of immense
benett in several of the numbers Charles
Prince, as the Lord High Admiral, has a
makeup that reminds one of the horrible
Chinese masks to be seen in San Fran
cisco's Chinatown, and he extracts a good
deal Of dry fun from his part. Miss
Frances Knight. who appears as the Prin-
cess 500 500, possesses the best voice
among the feminine members of the COM
pany. and the opening ensemble number or
the second act, in which she sings the solo
part, is the most enjoyable feature, from
a purely musical standpoint, In the entire
production. May Ten Brock, as the off,
cial mother-in-law, is very funny.
This pleasing musical show will be given
again this afternoon and repeated for the
last time here tonight. Not to see and
hear 1t is TO miss one Of the truly good
moon" Is one of the few musical comedies
that have not been overrated.
