BOWS ARE THE FASHION.
Pretty Fancies in Feminine Finerv
That Are Now in High
Favor.

Bows are among the smart new frills
seen in the spring fashions. 1t is aston
ishing what the clever girl with her def,
intuitivefngers can do with few yards
of ribbon. She makes sets of pert little
bows for fastening the front of her
blouse. At the back of each bow she
catches small safety pin, and in this
way pins them on. She not only uses
any of the new soft ribbons for these
bows, but ribbon velvet and also lace.
says Woman's Home Companion.
For her hats she makes all sorts Of
bows. Her very newest adaptation Of
the bow to the hat is something so orig
inal that am sure many other girls will
be glad to go and do likewise. She
doesn's use one bow, but many. She
makes six or seven little bows, and ar
ranges them SO that they surround the
crown at short intervals apart. Each bow
is made with one outstanding loop high
enough to reach above the crown. This
loop is carefully stiffened with feather
bone. At the base of the loop is knot,
and from the knot are two ends, which
lie fiat on the brfm. These bows make a
smart looking trimming for shirt waist
or sailor hat Through the loops some
pretty soft ribbon is drawn, which is tied
in the direct front either in bow or
made in full rosette. Take hat of
rough burnt orange straw, and use dark
brown ribbon velvet for the bows and
creamy white or almond green satin mes
saline ribbon for threading through the
loops, making the bow in front. Try this,
and you will have Just the smartest ev-
cry day hat Imaginable

Frances Island Prison.

Gently . German. mail ship arrived at
Brisbane with six French convicts who
had escaped from the penal settlement.
The men drifted for 46 days in an old
boat and landed in New Guinana, where
they were arrested. They were suffering
from the effects Of exposure, and when
they recover they will be sent back to
Noumea, the capital Of the island. New
Caledonia, which lies in the Pacific, is an
island a little bigger than Wales and

$500 are convicts condemned to short

The Presidents Plans.

President Roosevelt expects to spend
about two months at Oyster bay this
summer, and the force at the white
house are already planning for the fit
ting back and forth. The president will
leave Washington about July 1, re-
naming here until the Chicago conven-
ton shall have done its work. Then he
will go to Oyster bay for month or
so; return to Washington, about Au-
gust l, which is the time usually set
for the beginning of the active work
of the campaign and remain here long
enough to welcome visiting delegations
and confer with party leaders. After
that he will return to Oyster bay again
for a stay of another month and come
back to Washington as the weather
begins to grow cool. He will receive
the news of the election at the white
house.
All this is giving the workers In the
executive Office good deal OF worry.
A great quantity of Office stationery,
records and implements will have to be
carried back and forth every time the
president changes base and to effect
the transfer smoothly and expeditions
ly will call for all the executive capaci-
ty which Secretaries Loeb and Barnes
possess. 80
Secretary Cortelyou for years under
Mckinley and Roosevelt managed these
presidential marches with skill al
most amounting to genius and Secre-
tary Loeb thus far has displayed equal
talent. But all the same he does not
relish two fittings within short time.
The president does not expect great
many people at Osyter bay. The facil-
tiles there for entertaining strangers
are very meager and it is both the re-
gard for his own comfort and for that
of the people who wish to see him that
he has decided to make his headquar-
tiers during good part Of the CAM
paign right here in Washington.

How the Chief Executive Proposes to

Congress. .,.-

Washington.-The George Wash
ington University" is to be the some
what umbersome title of the institu-
ton now known as the Columbian uni
versity, which is preparing for an en-
larged sphere of educational usefulness
by the purchase of new site and the
erection of new buildings in Washing
ton.
For many years Columbian universe
ty has been one of the institutions Of
the national capital. It has been better
known on account of its school of law
than for any other reason, but some
other of its departments have been do
ing memorable things in various lines
of scientific research. The members of
its faculty are men of national reputa-
ton and they have added the luster of
distinguished names to the record of
the university. 1t is now proposed that
the undergraduate department of the
university shall become more conspic-
uous and that the institution shall take
rank among the great institutions Of
learning which hitherto have been

the country. @@
In order that this mission may be
fulfilled the name of the university will
be changed, not because there is any
inherent objection to the present title,
but because of the confusion which
necessarily arises between the Wash
ington institution and the Columbia
university of New York with older ira
ditions and greater achievements.
The new site for the university is to
be on the banks of the Potomac not
far from the Washington monument
and very near the place which Wash
ington himself selected over 100 years
ago as the site for the national uni
versity which he believed should have
its home in the national capital. Wash
ington set forth his ambition in sew
eral letters as well as in his will. His
motive was one of patriotism rather
than personal sentiment or local pride.

which would have tendency to spread
systematic ideas through all parts of
this rising empire, thereby to do away
with local attachments and state pref
JUDGES as far as the nature of things
would or indeed ought to admit from

versity he planned that the youths
from all parts of the union might be
sent "for the completion of their edu-
cation in all branches of polite litera-
ture, in the arts and sciences, in ac-
quiring knowledge in the principles Of

THE MAN is THE ISSUE

The New York correspondent of the
Boston Transcript, commenting on the
drift toward Roosevelt, says APPLY.
THE president is his own argument
and issue
Since there are but two checks to a
president, public opinion and congress
sional power of impeachment. and since
each of these is slow in getting IT'S
power localized into effective action, it
becomes the part Of prudence and pro-
gressive conservatism to hold onto an
upright and outspoken president when
we have him.
In this campaign the man is the is
sue.
One Of the first things told about the
presidents manner in meeting visitors
in his public Offices was that he was not
"a whispering president" He took for
granted that anyone who came on an
errand of public business had nothing
to conceal and he was sure that he had
no occasion to whisper his replies OF
remarks So his voice was not modu-
lated to a button hole private confer
ence whisper, but rang right out loud
That is a simple index to his char
acter and is his habitual manner with
those who are seeking political favors
| A man like that wins public confidence
| and is not likely to be impeached by
congress.
