THE EMPEROR OF SURAKARTA.
There Is an empire on this n,anet
which for strange originality might as
well be situated in Mars. 1t is gov
erned by two emperors at the same
time, and withal is not larger than the
state OF Delaware. Both enperors re-
side In the same city; each has his own
lresplendent court, enormous revenues,
armies, imperial chaneellors, govern
ment officers and courts of justice.
Only one of these emperors is known
to the outside world, and he only to a
slight extent The name and titles Of
the leading one would easily fill coli

Der, call him the Susuhunan, and he
himself modestly signs himself Pakoe
Bowono X, mail of the Universe,
the Tenth" In him his people venerate
not only their sovereign ruler, but also
their religious pontiff, placed so high
above them that none dare approach
him upright or cover him with a
glance; his state ministers, and even his
own brothers, crouch before him with
folded hands as If in prayer, and with

yet he may not walk or ride outside the

Ready to Take Naval Militia on Cruise
To-Day.
The Massachusetts, one of the gov
eminent battleships, arrived off the
New Haven breakwater yesterday
noon, where it weighed anchor and re-
manned over night. The battleship is
here for the purpose of taking the Ma
val Reserve Of this city on a cruise
along the coast as far north as the state
Of Maine and also out to sea for ten
days. The members of the Naval Re
serve win board the battleship by
means of small boats at an early hour
this morning, and as soon as they are
on board the battleship will weigh its
anchor
Yesterday afternoon a number of the
small sailing craft in the fiarbor hover
ed about the Massachusetts,. which kept
steam up during the entire afternoon
and evening. There was also consider
able curiosity at the short resorts re-
garding the arrival of the ship. During
the early evening several of the officers

There is nothing to indicate that the
killed or plated skirt is to be retired.
The plain skirt is also predicted in a
form foreshadowed by some of the late
seasons cloth costumes-that is, mould
ed closely about the hips, and falling in
very full lines below the knees. The
short skirt will continue in vogue for
street wear. Trains are not to be worn
at all apparently, although the all
around long skirt skirt will continue to
be the proper wear in gowns of cere-
mory.
In the waists and coats of the new
gowns, as far as they have been seen,
the tendency is toward small waist
effects. The waist line, which has
dropped so unnaturally for such a long
time, will be nodded closely to the
figure, thus increasing the size of the
hips. Agreat many fancy vests, lapels,
jabots, and girdles in the Directoire
style, will be used to decorate the waist
fronts. No one supposes that the
Direetorie fashions will have absolute
sway, nevertheless. Coats Of several

NeW Shades-FulI skirts and Sleeves.
The first fall dress goods have ar
rived, not in any great variety as yet,
but enough to give a sort Of an indica-
tion Of coming styles. AS predicted,
the highest note of fashion will be
touched by the new satin finish broad
cloths. A number of these are already
on the counters, and in new shades are
very attractive. They are remarkably
soft and lustrous with a suede finish
that gives them great elegance. OF the
new shades onion skin is light orange
tan, a, delicate shade, and one easily
ruined. A decided orange tone per-
vades most of the light browns. There
are two or three shades of copper color,
the darkest resembling plum color.
These shades will make handsome
gowns for elderly women.
Among the new silks are seen many
oInbre effects. Surahs in two tones will
be much liked for blouses. A rich
brown with orange shading, purple with
silver, and red with light tan, are es-
peciaIIy attractive. The reverse side of
these surahs is beautifully toned that

There are plenty of plain reps and some
