made with the caps and puff and the
cuii. These cuffs are wide or narrow,
as the owner may wish. Some of the
tailored sleeves have a bell shaped up
per part, reaching to the wrist on the
outside Of the arm and to the bend of
the elbow on the inner seam.
Flounces, on the straight, on the bias,
shirred at the top and plated, are all in
style, and shaped founces are by no
means out of fashion. 1t depends some
what on personal taste and on the cost
OF the material. Bias founces are
most economical, as they do not need
to be so full as straight ones
All dresses, no matter of what ma
terial or for what purpose they are
used, are made deep on the shoulders,
and when 1t is not possible to do this
the caps of the sleeves are so arranged
as to create the appearance of width.
Some have caps as part of the waist,
and these make the shoulders appear
much wider, even as mems coats are
built out.
Hats that are bonnets and bonnets
that are hats are among the newest

among those best adapted to wearing
with the pronounced 1880 styles, which
are now a fixed fact. Yet the tight
habit skirt is going to die a hard death.
Some of the new oarse colored lin

william A.. Who Nominated Joe Cam
no. For the Presidency.
William Alden Smith, who recently
created considerable excitement In the
house by nominating Speaker Joe Can
non for the presidency, is n Of two
Smiths, both Republicans, who are
members of the Michigan delegation
to congress. He is a self made man,
and the story of his rise from poverty
is of more than usual interest When
a boy he peddled a paper on the streets
of Grand Rapids, whereas he Is now
the chief owner Of that paper, the Her
aid, and the president Of the company
that publishes 1t.
Congressman Smith Is a native OF
Michigan and received a common school
education, to which was added a course
In law. In 1888 he was admitted to
the bar and In a few years had become
one of the leading corporation lawyers
In the state. From 1886 to 1901 he
was the general counsel for two Of the
most important railroads in the state.
His first political job was that Of

sentatiyes, and it Is related that he
stole a ride to Lansing on n Of the
railroads of which he was afterward
general counsel. He first went to
Washington as member of the Fifty
fourth congress and has since been
four times reelected. Mr.. Smith has
had a good deal of experience In state
craft and in business, and his point Of
view on politics as well as on general
topics is usually breezy and interest
ing.
"Mr. President" said Speaker Can
non to Colonel Roosevelt the day after
Smiths speech, II am In a fix. Here /
am nominated for president by Will
liam Alden Smith of Michigan, and
yesterday my county convention out
In Illinois declared for Theodore
Roosevelt first, last and all the time,
and today my congressional conven-
ton is going to do the same thing"
"All this talk about my having an
other barrel to fire." said William AL
den Smith, 'is foolish. 1 have nothing
more to say. My position reminds me
of the story Of Henry Clay. He went
to a shooting match in Kentucky one
time. They pressed a gun into his
hands and told him he must take a
crack at the target. He had never
fired a gun In his life, but he blazed
away and hit a bullseye, and until the
day of his death he would never fire
another gun"

The Lesson of "a P1ay-The Modes of

the Moment.
Yesterday l went to the theater to see
1.-THE Admirable Crichton," and was
struck as l never have been before
with the miserable hampering of mod
ern garments for women, such as are
considered necessary for the young
ladies' of the hour. The first act and
the last show us the conventional even
ing dress of young ladies, with the long
skirts and low bodices. The skirts
hamper every movement n bring
them to the most rigid conventionality,
which "a unnaturalness. Inc

about them, but the shoulder straps
seemed to hold the arms as In a wise.
All the wearers could do was to Ian

In easy chairs and incidentally bicker,
as loving sisters sometimes do
During the other two acts these same
girls are on a desert island, ship
wrecked and dressed in such rags and
tags as they saved from the wreck.
Then, when these had literally worn
out, they had somehow managed to
weave some coarse stuff, and with this
and skins they made suits something
like a mans hunting costume when he
must be his own tailor. Needless to
say they were becoming. But their be-
comingness is not why they are men-
toned here. The girls who wore them
ran up ladders, leaped over rocks and
through windows, hunted, fished and
seemed to be fairly wild with the very
joy of living in this unconventional
costume. Their movements were as
free and unconstrained as those Of the
wild gazelles and as graceful, and their
spirits fairly dubbed over. Then, in
the last act, they were tripping and
stumbling in the long skirts, weak.
weary and languid again. The sermon
is a good one, and l think every woman
present sighed for the delightful free
dom of those island suits.
The Germans are making great eff
forts toward reform in such things,
but they have reached only the stage
where corsets are discarded. Many Of
our sensible women also have reached
that point.
1t will take me some time to get my
ideas out Of this tangle and down to
such a point that l can tell with Gus
tomary enthusiasm of the dresses of
the hour. Well, as it must be done,
here 1t is: In the first place, material
varies so widely that one can say al
most anything and still be right. For
the bright spring days In the streets
we find SO many pretty wooden mix
lures and plain stuffs that a choice Is
not easy. But as Wa must wear dresses
n made after the model shown here
would not be so very bad, except that
the skirts are SO much longer than ma
ture requires. This particular gown Is
of basket weave in dark brown on bis
cult. The skirt is fitted to the figure
by many small plaits and one deep
plat in the back. There is a shaped
founce at the foot, and this Is finished
with a thick featherbone piping and a
row of small tabs of brown cloth, each
having a dull gilt button on 1t. The
waist opens at the left side under the
tabs and has a pretty arrangement of
velvet as a reyers collar over a chem

cothran & Co.'s Market Letter.

The failure of Havre firm and the
closing of contracts in that connection
was given as a partial cause of the lower
Liverpool quotations.
The market was quiet with a contin-
uance Of buying of high grade cotton,
against which sales of distant deliveries
were being made Options closed at a de-
cline of four points and spots on sales of
5000 bales, gained one point.
A moderate amour. Of buying during
the early part of our session sufficed to
cause a steady market.
Later, on signs of weakness, operators
offered more freely, and with the assis-
tance of sales for account of exporters.

tinued desutory througout the day. The

off and was largely confined to the

ing downward under local bear pressure
and selling apparently from New Orleans
sources. which was taken to mean a sat
isfactory spot" condition. The market
opened steady at an advance of point on
April. but generally 1 to 4 points lower,
which was rather better than on the
showing of Liverpool futures market,
Quotations there were points lower at
the hour of the local opening, when an
English spot market showed relative
steadiness and early advances from the
south indicating continued stability
among interior holders. There WAS some
support here that was accelerated APP
parently by reports here that a certain
person connected with the census depart
ment has made q statement to the effect
that the government estimate of the crop
was much too high. But prices only went
up a point or two from the opening fig
ures, when supporting orders We're with
drawn, and during the remainder of the
day the tone was generally easy. with
fluctuations irregular. but in the main
downward. The close was steadied point
or so by room covering. but showed net
loss of 10a16 points Sales were estimated
at 10000 bales.
During the late trading some messages
received from New Orleans reported
weakening among southern spot holders
and as much of the selling here during the
last hour came from brokers with south
ern connections. it was generally believed
that New Orleans was selling possibly for
both accounts. The official adviees in the
south, however, indicated generally steady
spot prices, though business reported was
very light. Interior receipts for the day
were light, but ports ran fairly liberal
while exports were again full.

coming more aggressive on dull and
lower local spot market Liverpool de-
veloped further weakness, closing four
points lower than yesterdays close. Ca
bles from the English market stated that
future deliveries and spot cotton were
dull and lower, that shorts had covered,
that the south was easier, and that the
market was fiat for want Of confidence,
a failure of a Barcelona spinner having
occurred. At a good many points today
receipts were smaller than last year 8
arrivals, notably at Memphis and other
sections of the southwest and expected
receipts at Texas points for tomorrow
were estimated at less than one year
ago, Galveston expecting 1900 to $780,
against 1902S, Houston 5000 to $500 against
14,216. The days ports receipts, however
were heavier than on this day last year.
57,001, compared with 45,4SS, Thus far
this week arrivals total 293,956, against
2501i5 one year ago, and the indicated
movement for the week will be about
$4,000 against 400, 900 last year. Reports
were circulated that the interior was
weakening, especially Texas and AIissis-
sippi, and while we have heard from a
few points where there was no desire
to hold cotton, the majority of our nu-
merous wire correspondents throughout
the south contradicted the report and
said that the interior was as firm as ever
in their intention to hold for higher
prices. Nevertheless local traders sold
the market with free hand on the pre-
sumption that the country would weaken
if New Orleans was to lessen up, and
