Some White Effects-BIack SILK Null
and Lace.
Especial Correspondence
New York, May 1S.-The woman who
has one nice black skirt can appear
well dressed all summer with the aid
of new waists, and these may be eS-
pensive or simple, according to circum-
stances. White waists made prettily
with plenty of tucks and with as much
lace as circumstances will permit are
always dressy, and as they will come
out of the laundry each time like new
they are good to have. Where the laun-
cry must be sent out of the house the
cost of the washable waists becomes
considerable, and it is then true econo
my to have waists made of pongee or
china silk in some light but solid color.
These and also the dainty liberty and
japanese wash silks are excellent, for
they do not soil easily, and when they
do there is no need of sending them
out. A quart of gasoline will clean one
perfectly with little trouble. Dip the
whole waist into it and shake it around
little. All grease and other spots will
fall out and leave the whole clean. No
wringing is needed, and it is not neces-
sary to take off the lace or ribbon or to
iron. The only difficulty is that gaso-
line is SO dangerous When one begins
to clean garment in this way she
must see that no matches or fire or
light is near. The work should never
be done at night if explosions are to be
avoided. This cleaning is so easy to do
and so quickly done that it is a bless
ing. The garment can be hung in the
air few minutes, and there remains
no odor. Woods, 1aces and, in fact, even
furs may thus be cleaned z3s
Many exceedingly tasteful and dressy
blouse waists for fine wear are made
of thin stuffs over lining. One Shown
in this page is of black silk null and
white lace built over sateen lining.
The null is laid in fat folds, and these
are left to float at the bottom. The In-
der part is gathered in at the belt as
usual, while the upper part is made |
in one square without shoulder seam. |
the ends hanging down somewhat in |
the form of peplum. And this idea |
is carried cut on quite number of |
skirts too. There is a determined |
movement in favor of some kind of |
drapery on skirts.
To return to this model blouse waist.
Quite around it on level with the |
bust line is row of diamond shaped |
medallions of white lace, while the.i
upper portion Is arranged with the
same to represent a yoke. The yoke
itself is Of all over renaissance The
points formed by the plated null are
made heavy by black silk frogs. The
sleeves are made in the same general
style, with the lower parts of the all
over lace, and these are SO arranged
that they may be left of, making ell
bow sleeves of the null, very pretty
thing where the arm is white and
round. And physical culture has made
nearly all arms round and pretty.
A dainty and dressy waist for din
ners and other semidress occasions is
made of pale blue louisine. lace inser-
tons and narrow black velvet ribbon.
The blouse shape is marked and the
point well defined by black velvet
belt. Tucks and layers of the lace are
the principal things to note. but there

you wake up some morning and hear
that somebody or other has been dis
covered you can put it down as fact
that he discovered himself years ago,
since which time he has been working
and toiling and striving to fit and make
himself worthy of general discovery. Z
You can't possibly hide good work.
If you were to send it out on a rainy

would be sure to find it and exclaim: :,

When Charles Godfrey Leland was
editing in New York tie Knickerbock-

ton that was popular among literary
people. .r
There arose at one of these recep-

To quiet them Mr. Leland cried out il
a voice loud enough to be; heard above
all:
Intelligent persons are all of the
same religion"
A lull ensued. Some one asked:
What religion is that?'
e That" answered Mr.. Leland, "is
what intelligent people never tell"
A copy of Professor SaIvatori's Ital-

Fear Grasshopper Scourge.

Belle Fourche, S. D., Feb. 49,
Ranchmen and others in this vicinity
are somewhat alarmed over recent
bulletin issued by the department Of
agriculture that eastern Montana,
northeastern Wyoming and western
South Dakota were threatened with
plague of grasshoppers. The in
sectS were thick in Montana last sum-
mer, and it is feared that they may
multiply to such an extent as to men
ace the vegetation in another summer.
The tongue disease seems to have
been arrested among the cattle of
this range. 1t appeared in only two
or three herds, and there have not
been any deaths for three weeks. 1t
was feared for some time that the
hoof and mouth disease that had
created such havoc in New England
was making its appearance, but this
apprehension has been allayed No
symptoms of disease were manifest in
the hoof, being confined TO the tongue
on which ulcers appeared. 1t is be-
lieyed now the disease hasrun out.
So far there has not been any trad
ing in southern cattle 10y the cattle
men of this range. At this time last
year fully l00,O 900 head had been con-
tracted for 10y the northern cattlemen
in Texas, New Mexico and Arizona
The cattlemen of the southern ranges
are holding their cattle at price
that is considered excessive by the
northernors. The DakOtas and Mon
tana do not need as many cattle this
year as last and the probabilities are
that purchases will be small

rHB CLIFTON HOre L AT CEDAR RAPIs
IOWA. SCEEE or FIRE,
EARLY FRIDAY MORNING
OWING TO ISTRUCTioN OF H0TE L REG
lSTER. NAMES OF MISSING NOT KNOWN.
CONVENTION IN PROGRESS
The Fire Department Confined Its Efforts to
Preventing the Spread Of the Flames.

DCS MOllcS, Id, TtD. Zl.-flIUeen
to twenty persons were burned to
death and twice that number seri-
ously injured in the fire that destroy
ed the Clifton hotel ut Cedar Rapids
at o'clock Friday morning. There
were 100 guests in the hotel when the
fire broke out and most of the dead
are buried in the debris. Owing to
the destruction of the hotel register,
the names of the missing could not
be obtained up to O'Clock.
The fire originated in the basement
presumably from an electric wire.
Night Clerk Wilson was on the third
floor at the time.
The flames were discovered by
bell boy and had already gained con-
siderable Roadway. by the time the
night clerk had been notified and the
work Of sounding the alarm had be-
gun, escape was cut off from the
ground floor.
Instantly there were several faces
at every window, clad only in their
night robes, wildly calling for help.
The fire Departments facilities were
meager and each moments delay i'm
creased the panic that already pre-
vailed. ;
One after another the human forms
were seen to hurl themselves from
the windows and dash against the
pavement below. Limbs were broken
and the writhing mass Of humanity
that rapidly accumulated, constituted
sickening sight. Those who jump
ed from the third story windows had
little hope Of surviving the frightful
leap, but few hesitated as the flames
came nearer and nearer.
Miss Nellie Curns was the last to
leave the burning structure and had
sustained terrible burns before she
sprang from the window sill on which
she had sought refuge. Outside the
work of rescue was rapidly carried,
forward. A crowd had been attract
ed by the flames and wildly sought
information concerning friends in
the burning structure. The hotel
was a seething furnace and it was
impossible to attempt rescue by en-
tering the building. The injured
were conveyed to adjoining business
houses that had been converted into
improviSed hospitals. 1t was early
apparent that Burnett and Miss
Curns could not recover, while the
recovery of several others was doubt
full.
The fire department confined its
efforts to preventing the spread Of the,
flames. Several times the National,
hotel caught fire, but the fire was ex-,
tinguiShed The state Y. NJ. @. A.
convention was in progress in Cedar
Rapids at the time and a district
Knights of Phythias convention.
Delegates to these conventions con-
stituted most of the injured and
missing. At $3.50 O'Clock it was
stated that there must be fifteen or
twenty dead bodies in the debris, as
large numbers of persons had been
seen to fall back from the windows
into the flames. The proprietors of
the hotel also estimated that there
must be close to this number unac-
counted for The work Of .identifi-
cation Of the missing was difficult.

WORK ON NARSHlPS.
Delays In Construction Laid to many Causes,
America Is Not Behind.

HmNiNd 10 wv hNhihes
Washington, Feb. 23.-Thc preSi-
dent has been in correspondence with
Secretary Moody respecting the mat
ter of delay in the construction OF
naval vessels and the secretary In
turn has called upon the chief con-
structor for a statement of conditions
in various ship building yards where
naval work is going on. The Secre-
tary has submitted letter in the ma
ture of report to the president in
Guiding with it the chief constructor s.
report.
In substance these letters show that
"while through a number of causes
the building Of warshipS has been de-
layed and the dates of their complies
tion have been and will be considera
bly, beyond the dates originally set,
naval construction in the United
States is not materially behind the.
naval construction in England and
Germany in the matter of time.
Secretary Moody argued that it
would be mistake to offer n bonus
for the completion of the vessels
ahead of contract time and adds that
two months ago he directed that no
further extension of time be permitted
except by his personal order,
The chief constructor report shows
that there are seven causes for delay
in naval work, namely:
Inadequate plans; changes in armor
or armament or design; delays in de-
livery of armor and ordinance; delays
in government inspection; delays in
structural steel; delays due to made
quate facilities and insufficient ability
in the contractors staff and delays
due to inadequate supply Of skilled
labor.
All Of these subjects are treated in
detail in the report and the point is
made that after all the apparent
greater speed in English ship yards
is due to the fact that the vessels are
delivered by the contractors in very
incomplete condition to the govern
ment which spends several years In
many instances in equipping the ship
for commission.
