Small Flowers

will lead by far and as if Natures sup
ply on this order were insufficient,
large blossoms are diminished to small
sized and arranged in thick bouquets
or garlands. Tiny roses set closely
together, are conspicuous and rose
buds of course lend themselves readily
to miniature adornments. Some very
large, even mammoth flowers are
noticeable, but are not expected to be
much in demand. Champagne tints
are new in coloring, but of course very
trying and can be worn only by per-
sons of very fresh complexlons, or if
otherwise must be relieved by addi-
tions of more decided hues, as to lose
in individuality. Several VINE shades
in reddish tints, will ibe more practi-
cal. In

Skirts

are in general, much fuller around the
hips, but fullness is so confined by
closely laid plaits, that the outlines do
not differ essentially from what has
been in vogue. The plaits however,
are released at a point much higher up
than formerly, thus giving a hint of
greater skirt fullness than formerly.

for utility wear, prosperous season
is predicted for mohair, both plain and

signs. Tweeds will be in much de-
mand also, for those utility dresses
that are now a recognized necessity
and both when iauntily made up in
walking skirts and jackets, will be i'm
portant factors in woman's dress.
Semi transparent materials on the
yelling order, will figure largely in
dress, either in plain or in fancy
--sasaazaes among, which are dots, boucle
threads and the ubiquitous lace pat
terms. Summer foulards in silk or
satin finish, are important, showing
dots on hair line stripes and taffetas
will likewise be in demand.

Secret Ballot Voted Down.

Smiths cause was assisted by the
leaders who have been voting for Ber-
nard Carter, and who evidently car
ried out the compact which had been
made between Smith and German.
This compact was that Mr.. Carter
would retire until Smith had demon
strated his ability or inability to win,
and the prerequisite to the enforce
Inent of the contract was a secret bal
lot.
President of the Senate Spencer C.
Jones made the motion for a secret
ballot and there were many speeches,
members explaining their votes. The
proposition for secret ballot was de-
feated by 40 to 40. Ex- Governor Smith
then knew he was defeated and with
drew from the State House. The vote
on candidates quickly followed. When
the Carter men saw that Smiths cause
was hopeless they voted for theil
original favOrites, but afterward chang
ed their votes to make it unanimous.

feated by the Baltimore city delega.

followed by Andrews and Hitchcock,

Immediately after the caucus ther,
was a sensational scene between Sen

buked Mr.. Rasin in scathing terms
saying the latter was responsible fo

Jackets

run from short boleros and etons, to
threequarter lengths, that may be
either tight fitting or loose. Very
jaunty little boleros are laid in wide
box plaits, with box plated elbow
sleeves and these will be a rejoicing
to the thin young woman's heart and
from their lOoseness, very comfort
able. Waists show but little change
in outlines, such novelty as does occur
being in the line of finish and closing.
Yokes that extend over the shoulders
and epaulettes are prominent features.
Epaulette straps that reach to the cnffs
are new and embroidery is the in

Mayor Harrison of Chicago seems to
be a victim of adverse circumstances.
Because the building inspectors and
other subordinates failed to do their

Trimmings.

Embroidery is conspicuous, either
done on the material or on bands. the
latter sometimes in motifs joined to-
gether and separable should occasion
ally demand it. Braids are also in
great favor as garnitures and in black
or tasteful mixtures of color, will do
very much to adorn plain material.
Gold braid will be especially stylish
and just here it can be added that a
frequent intermixture of gilt threads
in both passementeries and braids is
very apparent. Fringes likewise are
to be very fashionable, particularly as
a completion to the deep yokes that
are distinguished feature in dress.
Lace is used in almost illimitable quan-
titles. Valeuciennes leads and ex-
pensive gowns in sheer fabrics, will
be we'll nigh as much in lace as in
fabric proper.

war would occur between Russia and

assured unless further irritation re-
suited. On Monday the angel of
peace was waiting on the corner with

Russia's terms if they are acceptable g

that peace cannot be maintained if war

The Locals Win an Easy Game from

the French Stars of Augusta, and they
were unable to do a thing with Cal

was a feature Of the game. as the Wis

cracked the ball every time he came to
the bat. The Winthrop people are look
ing forward with much interest to the
Oakland game which is scheduled for
the 25th, and many believe the local
team will give Oakland a hard rub for
victory. Clearly Winthrop has not been
playing in her class thus far this sea-
son, as she has easily defeated every
team which has faced her.

A BIG CONTRACT.
HalIowell Granite Works Has Big Job
for Naval Academy.

The Journal learns upon reliable au-
thority that the Hallowell Granite
Works has signed the contract for the
Naval Academy at Annapolis. The
contract is one of the largest of recent
years and involves several hundred
thousands of dollars. Just when work
upon the new contract is to begin is
not mentioned but the details Incl
dental to the contamination of the
transaction have been definitely ar
ranged.
The Hallowell Granite Works, will,
as soon as the pending and contemp-
lated changes to their plant are made,
carry forward the work to better adj
vantage and with greater expedition
than would previously have been pos
sible. The city sheds of the company
are not to be abandoned, but the erec-
ton of large and modern buildings at
the quarry and the introduction of
equipment of the most approved type
will enable the placing of much work
there. The North, or old quarry which
has been in process of development for
some less than century. offers every
desirable condition as to source of
supply. The stock will be removed

NEXT TEAM
Will Be Stronger Than Ever, If Present
Plans Materialize.

Though the season for basketball
games is past the interest in the sport
is by no means wanting and it is the
intention and wish of the management
OF last years team to put in the field,
next season, a stronger team than be-
fore. II is desired to interest many new
PLAYERS in practice and SO have more
eligibles for the team.
To the enthusiasts of basketball in
this city it will be good news to know
that Chas. l.. Pitcher, one member of
the Brockton Y. NJ. c. A. team that
played here last March, is now en-
gagged in Auburn where he has accept
ed a position and arrangements have
been made with him to play in several
games with the Gardiner team the
coming season.
Some OF the most promising players
of Hallowell will come out and try to
make the Gardiner team and so pros
poets are very bright for a team in this
city thai will be a representative one
and the equal of any amateur team in
the State.
In connection with basketball 1t may
not be amiss to note the death two
weeks ago of Capt Chase OF the Brock
ton, Mass, Y. M. G. A. team. This
team was last season considered one
of the strongest teams in Massachu-
sets and in the game played with the
Gardiner team in this city. March 81,
