In spite of late snow storms In the northwest, we have the promise of very warm summer, and warm summer days mean that girls will carry an endless va riety of parasols.
 Not because parasols are needed pro- tection. hardly to a girl who goes bare- headed over golf course through the hottest August days, but because para sols are becoming. a last smart finish for warm weather gowns. and something pretty to carry, D graceful substitute for a huff.
 The shops are crowded with lovely new designs for all hours of the day, tailor made parasols for morning parasols plain in cut, but rich in embroidery and paint ing, for coaching, for races, etc., and parasols elaborate with chiffon and lace for driving.
 And, of course, there are parasols for all-round use, that are nice enough for church and plain enough for a trip to the markets and shops. Some women get along nicely with one paraso and con slider two a luxury, and many an econom- ical woman of taste makes her own par asols, using an old frame, and putting and plating covering out of some pret- | ty, though perhaps not new, material she may have on hand.

 And almost as useful as the pongee par asol to wear with many different dresses are those of black-and- check and plaid taffeta, which are smart with black, or white. or gray, or scarlet. or dark blue gowns. They are tucked or plain or with black false hems and the smartest have the new ebony handles, with bow of the checked silk or with a stitched taffeta bow in colors. The handles are long, diff ferent shaped and usually carved. These ebony handles are a great fad. even with white chiffon and lace parasols.

New York, June 25-Marconi who slipt Unto Manhattan's hospitable arms and slipt out again with baffling dexterity so that he escaped being Interviewed this time to any great extent did, neverthe-' Jess, permit himself to shed a couple of mental rays on the public, one of which contains so many million volts of sur prise that it jolts the imagination. Mar eonis bland and ehild-like smile over the qualification of the first Mareonl news paper on board the Lucauia Is ray quite understandable His delight over the demonstration of his dream, that 2 ship can be held in communication with land all the time while crossing mighty ocean, has a right to illumine his eoun- tenance and to color his conversation. But, when he scouts at the idea of letting Uncle Sam go into the Marconigraph business such a voltage of vanity is too, loo much. There was once a politician who wrote himself down as "a blger man than old Grant" and the country has ncver tired of laughing at that chap and his original spelling. Mareoni is, of course, man of genius, but he will find out he is not "biger' than Uncle Sam. If this government decides to go into the wireless telegraph business in the inter- est of progress, 1t would be d rash man or corporation that would attempt to estop him.

nresents many curious features. In the first place it brings up the ancient ques- tion as to .sCrowner's quest law at which my old and eternal friend, Bill Shalxespeare, poked some of his best fun nearly three hundred years ago. Coroners now are to be abolished in New York ana in their stead as in Boston, medical eN- aminers appointed--a reform much need ed. The medical examiner system has been in vogue in Boston for many years and has proven great success. Two of the examiners there, Dr. Frank Harris and Dr. George Stedman have served 1T I remember rightly four terms or seven years each and officials of such integrity and ability in criminal cases or myste- rious deaths would have been a godsend to New York and have saved the county hundreds of thousands of dollars. There has been some talk of trying to import both these men over here, as was done in the case of Waring, to clean the streets, but the chances are they wouldn't leave their beloved, beany and east-windy town, even for the eclat of New York office. In the case of Nan, as Judge Clark said, the coroner appears to have exceeded his powers by committing her to prison. Jerome is now trying to hold her because public opinion holds her guilty of the death of Caesar Young, the bookmaker.

l unique as the Madame Chrysantheme," a cherry blossom creation, closely resem- bling the real paper Japanese parasols, which it is prophesied will be carried on midsummer sunshiny days by some very original New York girls.

Ghouls In the Water.

New YorlI's and eivilZation's greatest horror--the burning of over a thousand mothers and children on an excursion boat-has been so much written about that shall not dwell on 1t. Gods truth, 1t is a thing so frightful ] hate even to allude to it. But my duty compels me to note few points, By early dawn follow ing the tragedy l saw strong men-rough- looking fellows--with tears running down their faces, as they scanned the news papers. It affected groups and masses of people just the shooting of Garfield did in Washington. where l happened to be when the crazy office-hunter Guiteau shot down the President. But the crown ing horror of the thing for me, a fit climax to the criminalty of a greedy concern that could send out overcrowded boats with rotten life preservers, lies in this item which I clipped from the Sun:
 That there were scoundrels among the men who rowed about the blazing boat was proved by the story of Miss Martha Weirk of No. 3I1 East Fifty-flfth street. She was with her sister. Amelia, Miss An ne Kiff, Mrs. Annie Beclxman and Mrs. Beckmans baby. All were pushed over board by the maddened mob. Martha was picked up unconscious, but was revived. T was struggling in the water said she, when boat pulled up alongside me. One man held me a little way out of the wa ter and another man stripped me of my rings, earrings and brooch. Then I was pushed back in the water

 ''They won And then there was more fun. The opposition got together and framed an anti-cremation bill. The dele gates wrangled. The republicans object ed Finally one old delegate arose. But there is no penalty he said How can you expect law to be obeyed that has no penalty attached?' Of course, 1t was unanswerable. The opposition hummed and hawed.

A Pretty Stronq Yarn.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 A group of politicians were discussing the platform that should be adopted by the convention when Senator Depew, of New York, turned to Governor Carter, of Hawaii.
 Governor we haven't heard from you on this subject. What are your views?' queried Senator Depew.
 T haven't any" replied the Governor of Hawaii.
 What A good republican and no views on the platformf Why, what do you expect your constituents to say?"
 Don't make any difference to them We'll have a platform Of our own. You know, you people were fighting on free silver four years ago. Know what the principal plank in our opponen. plat form was?"

Nothing Wrong With Hannah.

What's the matter with Hannah?. or s'That's what's the matter with Hannah" used to be a slang phrase in the days of my boyhood in New England, and like many other bits of bright nonsense, it now seems again likely to have an epi- demic of usage all over the land; since District Attorney Jerome dragged Hannah Elias from her Cleopatran obseurity into the limelight. The smashing of her door, the gathering of mobs, the haing her to jail, the utter collapse and fzzle of the case against her compose a melodrama, indeed of real life, in which the ridiculous predominates, but it might have easily had very tragical features, for a little more tension would have stirred up a race riot The final touch of farce was put on the business by Hannah having an auction sale of her household bric-a-brac, just like dear old sweet Sadie Martinot or any other actress. A picture painted by Hannahs own hand brought seventy live cents. Relic-hunters were there by the dozen, but they didn't pay Martinot prices. What's the matter with Han nah?" Nothing at all. Next!

CT is fitted to the frame. The chiffon is used for one or many plaited edge ruff fles, or ruchngs or may be made into flower insertion. Often a plain lace flounce Is set over a full chiffon one, or an entire parasol of chiffon Is yelled in lace. usually cream lace over white chif- fon.
 It Is very smart idea to have linen or pongee, or even gingham parasols to match shirt-waist suits, and as these are plain they are very easy to make, cou- pie of yards of linen. an old frame and a monogram in silk on one gore complete the pa-asol. with the old cherry handle painted dull black.

Figures Not So Bad.

Much unnecessary attention has been directed by some of the papers to the nudity of the heroic figures that adorn fhe front of the New York Stock Ex- change building-an establishment that has just been unveiled to the general pulp lie. These figures are so high up one would have to crane to look at them and there is nothing al all improper about the group any more than in a glimpse of boys bathing in a pool as the railway train whirls by. But it is feared that Anthony Comstoek may arrest this fine aerial group or force the directors of the Stock Exchange to make them ridiculous by mutulation or by the addition of fig leaves Sculptors chafe very much in this country over the limitations laid on their art by the lewd-minded, or by those narrow-vsioned persons who can see i'm propriety in the plastic representation of fhe human body.
