all day back and forth, another of the

Superintendent Snyder, plans these
schools. He believes that they should

the president is not on a flying visit to
the city, Gen. Fred Grant is the living
image of his father. His coming to sue
coed Gen. Corbin as commander of the
department Of the east brings him 10
that home of his young manhood which
he knows best of all. For Gen, Grant
has been a resident Of the city, off and
on, for 30 years. 1t was from New York
that he was appointed minister to Aus
tria. He was for time police commits
sioner of the city, like Roosevelt, and
with equal earnestness worked for the
regeneration of the department. His
home in New York was the narrow, deep
house on Sixty-seventh street to which
the elder Grant came from Washington
for the unhappy experience in @.hign
finance" in which business ignorance
and knavish partner plunged him. The

OF the great change made by modern
ordnance Gen. Grant will have re-

dock of the little island, almost in sight
of his house. They cost $10,00GOOO in
the time of his father; now they are not
worth ten cents. Not even for old iron

derstand, even junk dealers do not want
them. Perhaps they are too heavy to
handle; perhaps the composition uf-the
metal-huge rified cannon of the old
type-is not nowadays fashionable. The
new rifled cannon that from unobtrusiye
pits in the sand guard the port are all of
the modern type, firing at. q 12-mile

been a great, though well-concealed
change in the defenses Of New York

visitors wandered at will about the
forts. Now Uncle Sam doesn't care
about company. And the work goes on.

Of late years, however, the young
officers in the army have been more
fortunate than some of the older ones
in the matter of marriage. Army and
navy officers in Washington, even of
the lowest rank, are little heroes

comes in very handy in sustaining the
establishment and style which society

created serious objection to the :sug-

of the war department be secured by
young lieutenants before they enter
into the marriage relation. They re-
sent the idea of being called upon to

old; it grew from small begin

extinction as an improper use of tax

last winter.

now in operation in as many public

heating and lighting. Some of the most

NECLICEES OF THE SEASON
They Ars Made Up with Artistic
Skill and Are Models Of
Daintiness.

The saying that woman is never so
becomingly dressed as when she is
dressed in simplicity, bids fair to know
a fashionable fulillment, says the
Brooklyn Eagle.
Things have so come about that neg
iigees are built of the very prettiestma-
terials that can be purchased or woven
and they are so trimmed and embroid-
cred, draped and decorated that they
enhance woman's charms a hundred
fold.
The woman who thinks she can make
negligee very easily and out of any old
thing, fitting it carelessly, and trim
ming it in any manner, will find herself
mistaken, for the new negligees require
great deal Of artistic skill Their very
simplicity calls for artfulness.
Many of the new models are of wash
SILK which is very nice MATERIAL, for it
can be kept so fresh and pretty. But
it is doubtful if it can be tubbed, for the
gowns are. elaborately<trim with
lace of delicate kind.
In yokes these room gowns are still
more elaborate, for here the fancy and
ones individual taste have abundant
play. A yoke that is very fashionable is
one that has deep lace point in front
with the lace ironed in such manner
that its figures set out charmingly.
The ruftled negligee is quite the most
fashionable one of the season. All the
new negligees are ruffled, except those of
Japanese origin, and all are trimmed
with lace and ribbons. Ruffles and lace
and ribbons are the rule.
And, while on the subject of ribbons,
one may state that at least three out of
five OF the tea gowns worn in Paris and
London to-day are run with colored
ribbons. Made of >colored silk, or OF
white silk, they are trimmed with lace
and ribbon is run through the lace. This
Is so much the fad that lace manufacture
ers have arranged their looms for the
making of new ribbons through which
ribbons can be run.
And, while running ribbons, remem-
Der the rule is the wider the ribbon
the better.
The very sheer white fabrics are worn
~~-A "AAAeoA 10 polSAO1Ao NY WUIl-
en-. These are made with multiplicity
of tuckings and with an infinite amount
of handwork. Fortunately shocking,
tucking, fine embroidery and shirring
can all be bought by the yard and, So,
a woman can put together one of these
negligees without working her whole
life long upon the job.
Many of the negligees are made over
thin silk and, in this case, the handsom-
est results are obtained. Canvas made
so as to show the weave, but very silky,
is made up over lustrous silk. Where
this is done both should be of one color
as the best results are obtained in that
manner.

metropolis. r. His beautiful wife, Cora
IJrouhart Potter, had been on the stage
forsome years when, in 1900, he obtained
a divorce. He has always lived quietly
and has never offended against taste il
any way. His beautiful daughter, left III
his. custody by the separation, has made
an excellent match.
Remains, of course, the Episcopalian
objections to the remarriage of church
members, but that command has been
broken in so many families, that it now
excites no surprise. It is curious COIN
cidence that it has been disregarded in
the immediate families both of the
bishop of New York and of the late
Bishop Littlejohn, of Brooklyn, whose
daughter was divorced from her hus-
band, a noted lawyer there. Nor has the
Potter objection the use of ones talents
on the stage prevented one member of
