Won Over Ii Lap.

After some hesitation Ii Lap agreed
TO accept Viceroy Tsen's offer and de-
tailed two of the principal officers TO
return with LUX Kin and discuss the
terms Of peace with the viceroy. While
they were passing through Kwai Ping, on
their way to the viceroy. they were ar
rested by Chan King Wa, the district
magistrate, who, despite the energetic
remonstrances of LUX Kin, ordered the
instant decapitation of Ii Laps ennis
saries. LUX Kin vehemently denounced
the magistrates action, whereupon the
latters soldiers riddled him with bullets.
"As soon as the viceroy heard of this
he ordered the Imprisonment of the mag
istrate, with a view 10 his immediate
trial and execution. Ii Lap, exasper-
ated over the act and indignant over
what he supposed was the treachery of
the viceroy. has resumed hostilities with
redOubled vigor."

You are brave man. II you agree

as you have been strenuous in breaking
its laws 1 will forgive your past offenses
and will give you a post in the army
where you will have an opportunity of
military advancement and of achieving

LUX Kin promptly accepted his offer
and was at once enrolled under Colonel
Cthen captain) Yang, and was later ap-
pointed one of the latter's lieutenants,
He proved faithful and jealous, so
much so that when Viceroy Tsen was
leaving here for Kwangsi he was Sc
lected as one of the viceroy's ablest
and most trusted assistants. Lux Kin
cheerfully undertook the dangerous COM
mission, and, penetrating the rebel
ranks, presented himself before Ii Lap.
to whom he with some eloquence pre-
sented Viceroy Tsen's offer of peace, as
suring him that the past would be con-
doned, that he and his lieutenants would
be given high Offices, and emoluments in
the imperial army, and that his followers
would also all share in the general
pardon and be enlisted in the army with
full pay, etc.

We need the same type OF character

The American Spirit
There was no patent device for Sc
curing victory by force OF arms 40
years ago; and there is no patent de-
vice for securing victory for the forces
OF righteousness In civil life now. In
each case the all-important factor was
and is the chai acter OF the individual
man. Good laws In the state, like a
good organization In an army are
the expressions OF national character.
Leaders will be developed In military
and In civil life alike; and weapons
and tactics change from generation to
generation, as methods OF achieving
good government change In civic af
fairs: but the fundamental qualities
which make for good citizenship do
not change any more than the funda'
mental qualities which make good
soldiers. In the long run in the civil
war the thing that counted for more
than aught else was the fact that the
average American had the fghting
edge: had within him The spirit which

OF the splendid ultimate triumph. SO

Hagerstown, Md, Sept 1.-THE
handsome monument erected to the
memory of the New Jersey troops
who fought and fell on the battlehelds

feet in height. surmounted by the
bronze figure of Captain Hugh G. Irish
of Company X, 18th New Jersey, and
II is placed on the spot where Captain
Irish fell, mortally wounded. in the
historic battle fought Al years ago to-
day. The base of the monument bears
bronze tablets on which are engraved
the numbers of the regiments from
New Jersey which took part in the
fight. There is also large tablet
bearing a diagram Of the battlefield,
showing the positions held blythe New
Jersey troops on the day OF the fight
Two New Jersey commands played
important parts in the battle One
was the 18th New Jersey volunteers,
in the ranks of which Governor Muir

fought and marched. The other was
Hexamer's Battery of Hoboken. Both
commands left many dead and car
ried more wounded from the bloody
field after the engagement. -Four
other New Jersey regiments were on
the outskirts OF the Antietam battle
field during the engagement, but did
not participate in the fight. However,

are it's titles to favor, and they justify its selection. ,
 First, as to the white morning frock.
 Linen is first favorite, and although
 this season has seen astonishing elabo-
 ration of linen frocks, sthe tailored
 frock of white linen has a chic distinc-
 ton of its own for morning wear and for informal afternoon wear. All the
 crashes, the heavy mercerized cottons,
 come in line with linens for shirt waist, and puque and duck are still used, though they have to a large extent been supplanted by the all-conquering lin- ems. '>A''
 The complete frock, of one material is, of course, the particular choice of the season, but separate white skirts af heavy linen or cotton are sensible ir1- vestment and may be worn with thin ner blouses more comfortably than with
 blouses of their own weight. A caution is in order here. The loose- woven mercenized stuffs so popular and effective for shirt waists have been ex- tensively utilized for whole shirt waist costumes; but the choice is not a wise 
 one.
 The material loses it's effect with searching, yet in its soft unstarched condition crumples easily, and skirt of it quickly becomes stringy and does not keep it's shape. Linen and other materials more fihmly woven and of more body are far more desirable for tub skirts of the tailored sort. Where linen and other heavy wash stuffs are found too warm for summer mornings. a host of thinner white stuffs come forward to take their places.
 Madras Is, as usual, the most popular of light weight cotton shirt waist ma teriaI, but mercenized effects play an important part among thin cottons as among the heavy ones; and exquisitely silky, white, wash materials are offered for shirt waist suits and separate shirt waists.
 Then there are the lawns in all grades
 of thickness and fineness. No morning
 frock in fashions gamut is quite so
 crisp and dainty as the frock of firmly
 woven Persian or India lawn, not too
 sheer in quality-always provided that this frock is correctly made; and noth-
 ing will be smarter than just such a
 costume.
 It Is a mistake to load the lawn
 morning frock with lace or embroidery.
 It should be made very simply, and
 with exquisite daintiness.
 Fine hand tucks are it's most appro-
 priate trimmings and if embroidery or
 lace is added as finish, this trimming
 should be applied by hand. Of course,
 the hand work is not imperative. Ex-
 cellent effects may be obtained without
 it, but the daintiest and most correct of the lawn morning frocks finds it's elaboration in hand work.
 Embroidery insertion of an open de- sign set in above deep hems is favor
 ite trimming for the simple lawn frock, the same insertion being used upon the
 cuffs and collar of the finely tucked
 blouse. A popular French idea for the
 trimming of the white lawn is the ad- dition of narrow hems of colored lawn, attached to the white material by fa-
 got stitch, but here of course, the all- white scheme is abandoned.-New York Sun.
