La voluntad del Centre, impues-

La "voluntariedad" del Centro
Sc ha impuesto de una manera alb
soluta en- todas las entidades poll

decirse, con muy visible ultraje de
las Constituciones Locales. Des-
de que en- la Naci6n ell voto popu-

the voile skirt. It was costume that
did not seem out of place in the dining
car, that would look well for almost
any summer occasion.
The square neck is the cut that
promises to be a summer feature, and
when it appears in the day time the
decollette is filled filed in with net.
High neck is de rigeur for daylight,
although bare arms are allowable, the
elbow sleeve il worn by every woman
that has a lower arm which admits or
display. Lace mltts and lace gloves,
fortunately for the economically in
clined, will be good form this summer,
more in favor than the warmer kid.
Colored gloves are shown, but it is
doubtful if they will obtain to any
great degree, they so soon lose theif
freshness.
We read Of those Simple white
dresses that cost from 5000 TO $500
apiece, and such are shown and pur-
chased in the cities; at fraction Of
the expense they can be made by the
home dressmaker, and while the hand
work will not be SO elaborate, take SO
many hours of eye-destroying labor,
yet the whole effect will be quite as
good. Very fine dotted Swisses with
the addition of some fine embroidery
makes a durable and attractive waist,
if cut after a good pattern and well
fitted to the figure. Other materials
suitable for the white costume are
wolfe, batiste, null and linen. The cir
cular skirt is the accepted style now,
superior TO others in giving the right
flare below and proper amount of full
ness, when fullness is desired, at the
waist; at the same time bestowing fit
over the hips, instead of the look that
the skirt was not made specially for
the wear-this last effect is often seen
in the compromises between tight fit
and full skirt
Very tall women generally desire
enough trimming on waist and skirt to
lessen the apparent height. For these
(but never to be followed by the stout
and short) are good models that show
crosswise ruffies and bands both on
upper and lower garment. For the
woman with small hips shirring may
be used at the belt, it gives ample
sweep certain dignity, that otherwise
might be lacking. Each should study
her own style.

1t, the workman grabbed for It, and
they went down together in the ashes,
and the man rolled dad over and he
was sight, but the workman got the
silver urn, and dad wanted to fight.
Finally a man with uniform on came
along and was going to arrest dad, but
they finally compromised by the man
offering to sell the silver urn and the
gold coins to dad for hundred dol
lars, if he would promise not to open
it up until he got out Of Italy, and dad
paid the money and wrapped the urn
up in Chicago paper, and we took
our hack and went back to Naples on
gallop.
Dad could hardly wait till we got to
the hotel before opening up his prize,
but he held out until we got to our
room, when he unwrapped the urn
to count his ancient gold coins. Well.
you'd aided to see dads face when
he opened that can. 1t was an old to-
mato can that had been wrought out
with hammer so it looked like ham,
mered silver, and when he emptied the
gold coins out on the table there was
a lot of brass tags that looked like
dog license tags, and baggage checks,
and brass buttons. I had to throw wa
ter on dad to bring him to, and then
he swore he would kill the dago that
sold him the treasure from the ruins
of Pompeii. 1t was a great blow to
cad, and he has bought a dirk knife
to kill the dago.
Tomorrow we take in Vesuvius,
and when we come down from the
crater we go to Pompeii and kill the
dago in his tracks. Dad may cause
Vesuvius to belch again with hot
ashes, and cover the ruins of Pompeii.
but if he can't turn on the ashes, the
knife will do the business. Yours,
HENNERY.

Naples, Italy.-Dear Old Partner in
Crime: Well, sir, we have struck a
place that reminds us Of home, and
your old grocery store. The day we
got here dad and l took walk into
the poorer districts, where they throw
all the Stops and refuse in the streets,
and where nobody ever seems to clean
up anything and burn it. The odor
was something that you cannot de-
scribe without demonstration, and
after we had turned pale and started
to go away, dad said the smell remind
ed him of something at home and
finally he remembered your old grocery
in the sauerkraut season, early in the
morning, before you had aired out the
place. Your ears must have burned
whm we were talking about you.
If you want to get an idea of Ma
pies, at its worst, go down into your
cellar and round up all the Goldfish,
onions, kraut, 1imberger cheese, kero-
sene, rotten potatoes, and everything
that is dead, put it all in bushel
basket, and just before the health Of
ficers come to pull your place get
down on your knees, and put your
head down in the basket, and let some
one sit on your head all the forenoon,
and you will have just such a half day
as dad and l had in the poor quarter
OF Naples, and it win not cost you half
as much as it did us. unless. after
you have enjoyed yourself in your eel

UNIQUE FIGURE IN HISTORY
Mark Twain Says Joan of Arc
Stands Alone in Story Of
World.

In Harper's Magazine for December
Mark Twain, who has recently made
thorough study of the original docu-
ments bearing on the life of Joan of Arc,
pays a wonderful tribute to this slight
girl, whom he calls by far the most ex-
traordinary person the human race has
ever produced"
Cali the rules fail in this girls case.
In the world s history she stands alone
quite alone. Others have been great in
their first public exhibitions of general
ship, valor, legal talent, diplomacy, for
titude; but always their previous years
and associations had been in larger
and smaller degree preparation for
these things. There have been no ex-
ceptions to the rule. But Joan was com
petent in law case at 16 without ever
having seen a law book or courthouse
before; she had no training in soldier
ship and no associations with it, yet
she was competent general in her first
campaign; she was brave in her first
battle, yet her courage had had no edu-
cation-not even the education which
boys courage gets from neyer-ceasing
reminders that it is not permissible in
boy to be coward, but only in girr:
friendless, alone, Ignorant, in the bosom
of her youth, she sat week after week a
prisoner in chains, before her assem-
blage of judges. enemies huntiIg her to
her death. the ssblest minds of France
and answered them out of an untaught
wisdom which overmatched their learn

their wonder, and scored every day a
victory against these incredible odds
and camped unchallenged on the field.

only its birthright equipment of untried

what can be given by hand-tucks,
trimming in high favor just now. One
very pretty graduating frock, which
had style as well as daintiness, was
made OF fine lawn; the shirt gOred at
the top but full enough to allow Of
tucks at the waist, vertical tucks over
the hips and graduated tucks trimmed
the lower part of the skirt. The sleeves,
not over full, reached to the elbow,
where they were finished with a
crushed band of liberty satin ribbon;
girdle of the same ribbon, several
widths used to give the proper corselet
effect, outlined the waist. Shoes and
stockings were of white, and worn
with this costume was white lawn
hat with brim of frilled Swiss embroid-
cry, the trimming ribbon to match CIR
die and sleeve band. A bunch of or
childs and maidenhair ferns was worn
in the belt.
In spite of the assertion that this
season was to be marked by the strict
ly tailored shirt waist, simpler and
more severe than had been seen for
several years, we notice the preference
is given for what may be called gen.
eral wear to the lingerie waist. The
latter is universally becoming, makes
the mannish waist look too plain by
contrast. Not that the other style is
necessarily fussy; by no means, the
better class of these waists is anything
but that We saw waist the other
day on the train that was made of
fine all-over embroidery untrimmed
save for tiny ruffles of lace at the neck
and wrists. The stock was sewed to

plest lines, looked delightfully."- fresh
because of being unornamented by ruff
fles or any attempt at elaboration. No
brooch even was worm but a string of
Roman gold beads, the beads in front
as large as marbles and decreasing in
size till at the back they were no larger
than peas. It was very smart toilet,
the cuffs fitting smoothly to the elbow,
the waist smooth at back and sides
and only slightly bloused in front, the
hat a lowered affair the same blue as

ana host OF other adjectiyes to describe
his mood and temperament, but one
thing which critics without exception
say of ''Rube,' is that Waddell is prob
ably the greatest pitcher of recent years.
Despite the fact that Rube has been
in the game for more than ten years,
he seems as invincible as ever, and
IS IS powerful as he was in 1902, when
he won a pennant for the Athletics.
UP to the time of this writing he has
won seven consecutive victories with

for the "split" ball, preferring to use

curves. MY best ball." said he in
recent interview, lis a fast inshoot,

man and is very hard to judge. If
all young pitchers would use a fast
ball they would find it much easier on
the arm. The fast ball is my main
dependence, and during my career on
the diamond have suffered very little
from sore arm. In order to make
the fast ball effective it is necessary
to conceal the predelivery motions. A
pitcher alternating with the fast and
slow ball will gradually acquire an
Identical motion. which deceives the
batsman as to the speed of the In
coming pellet, and makes either moro
effective. The split ball is the SEN
sation Of the game at present, but |
hardly believe that it will last OF
course all of us use it occasionally, but
not extensively. 1t is a remarkably
effective ball when controlled, requires
lot Of practice to get it in shape and

ball one day and the next be batted all

split ball to the neglect of his other

Loses Life in River.

Depere.- While William Duquette and
Otto Huff, aged Is years, were boating
on the Fox river recently, they ven
tured too near the dam, and were drawn
through one of the sluices, which have
been left open during the high water.
Duquette caught some bushes while
passing a small island short distance
below the dam and saved himself, but
Huff was carried half a mile farther
down by the swift current and sank be-
fore aid could reach him.
