 AT NEW YORK CHAUTAUOUA

The programme for the Chautauqua As sembly at Chautauqua, N. r., includes, as usual, many of the most distinguished lecturers. both sociological and historical, and men and women most prominent in the literary thought of the day. It is well, however. to call attention to the de- velopment of certain ideas already intro- duced in other programmes The musi- cal features will be more emphasized than heretofore, including all of the best any preceding years has brought forth, doub- ling the number of oratorios, adding the three Gilbert & Sulican evenings and the Chdren's Operetta. and including more lectures on musical subjects than before
 The readings are also more numerous than hitherto and the Reading Hour fea- ture has been extended to five of inc eight complete weeks
 Among the eminent speakers of the year none will be greeted more heartily than the Hon. William H. Taft, United States secretary of war who will talk to Chau- tauquans on the subject with which his name is inevitably connected on account of his experience as governor in tbe Philippines.

 The friends in town of MT. Telfair Hod- gon of Mobile will be interested in the following dispatch:
 MT Hodgon will start south in a few days, stopping en route to visit friends whom he has not seen in years.

THIN WHITE DRESSES
BY MARY ANNABEL FANTON.

quiring her material to be cut up in many small pieces, but will be fairly conserva- tive in the style she selects, remembering that for such a gown the simpler ways are invariably the most charming More over, the gown that is to be worn in the summer and out of doors does not want to be built upon such lines that sudden shower will destroy It's usefulness for ever.
 The use of ecru, yellow or cream col ored lace upon a thin white gown gives u charming effect, more charming, as a general thing, than the pure white lace which must be really very beautiful in quality in order not to appear common.
 Colored ribbons worn with white dresses, or used here and there as ac- cents of color, are more becoming to some women than all white effects. If these dresses are to be worn with a pie ture hat of leghorn, Panama or Tus- can straw, 1t is well to have the ribbons in the same color scheme as the hat.
 The most washable of the fine thin ma terials are Persian lawn, gauge, nalnsook, batste, India null, point esprit and French organdie.
 The very cheap cotton fabrics nearly all wash well, lawn. American organdie dotted Swiss and mercerized muslin can be done up each week, and with ordinary care and the least possible rubbing will come out looking like new.
 The heavy laces wash better than the scattered patterns on fine mesh. and the heaviest lace is the most fashionable. Any girl with the least cleverness with her needle can make pretty white frocks for herself this summer. The most fash ionable skirts are plain, full, short and ornamented with only few very wide tucks. The waists are full blouses, high necked for street, half low-necked for house, and for evening the old Fashioned low, round neck, one sees in century old miniatures. The sleeves are large and usually end at the elbow
 A few dollars and few hours will make gown that will convert the modern American girl into a lovely athletic imi- tation of her grandmother.

Wills and Words.

From the Kansas City Journal
 Two wills were filed with the pro- Late judge in Atchison county. One read:
 Will give all my property to my wife"
 The other read:
 T give, devise, and bequeath all my property, real, personal and mixed, together with all tenements, heredita- ments and appurtenances thereunto belonging or otherwise appertaining to, wherever situated, to have and to hold, for all time and forever" etc.
 And the first is as good as the last.

FIELD OF GETTYSBURG
PURCHASE OF A FEW TRACTS OF
LAND RECOMMENDED.
Report Of the Commission to the Score
tary Of War-one More Liberal
Appropriation Wanted.

The Gettysburg National Park commits
sion, In It's annual report to the Secretary
of War. suggests that few important par
cells of land, mainly on the confederate
portion of the battlefield, be acquired and
properly marked to show the positions of
the batteries. and that some short avenues
be constructed. and says: When these
things are done, in addition to the great
and enduring work which already has been
finished, we think the object Of the gov
eminent in establishing the Gettysburg Ma
tional Park will have been substantially
accomplished"
In closing. the commission says: I'm our
opinion the acquisition of any further ex-
tensive tracts of land here by the United
States would be a waste of public funds,
and we think one more liberal appropri-
alton by Congress for the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1906. will enable our commits
sion to complete the Gettysburg National
Park in a manner worthy of the govern
ment and satisfactory to every section of
the country. and when 1t Is completed only
modest amount will be required to main
tain 1t and employ sufficient guards to pro-
tect public property now aggregating in
value millions of dollars. Through corre-
spondence the addresses of over 500 sur
vivors Of the United States regular COM
mands have been secured; and, their state
ments regarding the position of the regular
regiments are being noted. AS
long as survivors associations Of the war
of 1S61-65 continue there will be erected
upon the battlefield Of Gettysburg costly
and elaborate memorials, the interest in
the field increasing through the work Of
the government.
''The state of Pennsylvania has appro-
priated $4,000. available in 1905. to erect
a monument to the soldiers upon the field.
THE state of New York Is erecting a
monument to the Oneida Company, indie
pendent Cavalry, at Gen. Meade's head
vtorc ay,I 10
with the details to erect the monuments to
the regular commands, authorized by
Congress.

preparation at it's next session for the COM
pletion of this great monumental work with
the fiscal year 1866"

PASSENGERS COMPLAIN.
An investigation Of Charges Regard.
ing the Celtic NAV Follow.

1t is more than likely that an official in
vestigation will be made by the bureau Of
navigation of the Department Of Commerce
and Labor regarding the charges filed by
the steerage passengers of the steamship
Celtic of the White Star line.
This steamer landed at New York last
week with a total of more than 5000 pas
sengers, breaking the transatlantic record
in that respect, and complaints have been
made to the collector of the port of New
York that the steamship company failed to
furnish the necessary accommodations paid
for by the passengers who came over in the
steerage.
1t is alleged in these complaints that no
rooms were available for many of the pas
sengers. and that they slept on mattresses
On the floors of the Railways and in other
places on the ship. The health of the pas
sengers was SO 1t is claimed in the COM
plants jeopardized by this treatment, and
redress is sought at the hands of the United
States. the overcrowding of the vessel being
the specific charge made.
The matter has been formally taken up in
New York, and any resultant information
will be forwarded to the Department of
Commerce and Labor. where the bureau of
immigration will look into the matter. It
will finally come to the attention of the bu-
reau of navigation, and such action taken
by that division as will adjust the trouble.
