DRESSING THE NECK.
~ Plays n Very Important Part In n
womnn,s Appearance.

Woman's Appearance.
Few women realize how mitch their
appearance depends on the way they
dress their neck. Women with short
necks bundle themselves up until they
look as IL they had chronic sore
throats, while girl with a neck like u
giraffe wears little rundown collar
and makes a fine caricature of herself.
Let her who has the long neck wear
I'll the high soft neck adornments she
can get together. With an evening
gown she need not be afraid to put
band Of ribbon under her necklace,
and she will look oil the better. In
the daytime medium necked woman
should never wear collar that con-
fines the neck too much. In the even
Ing the least adornment possible, and
IL she be fortunate enough to have n
pretty neck and throat she Is better
without any jewels. IL she must wear
some, let them be- a string OF pearls
or necklace Of solitaire diamonds.
The thin necked, scrawny women
are those that can drape themselves
with the old fashioned necklaces with
pendants. A dress cut open at the
throat Is always much more dressy and
even for old ladies is bccomlngly pret-
| ty. But their necks must be thorough
ly covered with folds Of net or soft
tulle. Nothing is prettlcr for old
| ladies' wear than the kcrchiefs, which
consisted OF square OF net folded and
| put under the gown. To be sure, In
those days caps and strings were in
fashion, so that there was framing
Of white all about the face and neck
| that was most becoming to the skin.
But even now their gowns can be
made In the fashion above described

Phone Rates Reduced.

Washngtonians will be interested in the
announcement just made that the telephone
rates charged in New York city by the COM
pany in control of that field will be reduced
on the first of May by from ten to twenty
per cent. A fight for reduction has been
vigorously conducted for some time and the
matter was approaching the stage of leg!s-
lative Intervention when'th telephone COM
pany abandoned its opposition to the de-
mand of the subscribers and proclaimed a
new schedule. After May 1 the subscriber
for 600 calls a year will pay $50 instead of
$40: instead of Sill for 100 calls he will
pay $751; for 1880 calls the rate drops from
Sl41 to Sill; for {. 400 calls from s165 to $135;
for 5000 calls from $1SS to $3.50; for $500
calls from SOL to SIT, and for $500 calls
from SOS to $204.
This reduction in response to an outbufst
of public sentiment. based on detailed in
quiry into the finances of the telephone
transaction, is gratifying evidence that
the telephone monopoly is not Indifferent
to popular opinion nor to the suggestion of
Legislative inquiry and action. It further
more shows that there Is no substantial

General Kuropatkin deserved the Hardin
ovation, and Is certain to be received in the
same spirit wherever he goes. He is a fine
type of soldier and man. And yet it is not
at all likely that his seH-sacrifice will
change conditions in RussiaS favor at the
front in the least. He will still labor under
the disadvantages that have beset him from
the day of his arrival in Manchuria. Every

Dangerous Blasting.

A complaint has been filed with the Com
missioners. as noted in the news columns
today, which indicates that extraordinarily
lax methods have been pursued by those
engaged in blasting out the foundations for
the new municipal building. Despite the
requirements of common precaution such
heavy charges have been used that masses
of rock have been flung across the street
into the windows of a building and prop
erty has been damaged and lives menaced.
Furthermore. the shock Of the blasting has
been so great as to involve the possible
weakening of the walls of adjacent prop
erty. 1t appears that the authorities were
first informed of this damage by the COM
plant in question, and now indicate their
intention to attend to the matter forth
with. 1t seems incredible that the use of
dynamite should have been permitted at
this work. in the heart of the city. without
the adoption of the most reliable safe
guards. from the very beginning of the
work. to prevent accidents and damage to
property.

yond the possibility of early and easy a5-
justment. Mr.. Castro has just turned what
is appreciated as a shrewd trick in the rec
ognition or legalizing of certain old bonds
issued by former governments of Venezuela
and heretofore repudiated by the Castro
government amounting to about S26.ooo,oO
in American gold and held chiefly by En-
gLsh and German capitalists. With the
revenues of the country already strained to
the last point to stretch over the current
expenses and to meet the fnstalments on
the observation-disclosures claims under
the arrangement perfected at The Hague,
the revival of these bonds means that there
may be total collapse of the Venezuelan
treasury. In these circumstances there
must be devised some effective method of
dealing with Mr.. Castro. to the end of abat-
ing what has become an intolerable inter-
national nuisance, menac.ng the peace of
the western world. II is evident that Cas-
tro has no idea of the first principles of
equity and justice. He deals with foreign
ers who are Engaged in the development Of
the Venezuelan resources as though they
had no rights whatever. He makes prom
ises only to break them at his earliest con-
venience. He conducts the affairs of the
state which he automatically governs as
though it were purely a private business.

Judge Parker Declines.

The following is taken from the New
York Sun of yesterday:
Asked yesterday about published state
ment that there was a movement to nomi-
nate him for the supreme court here ex-
Judge Alton B. Parker said that If there
was any such movement on foot 1t was
without his knowledge consent. He
said that before he resigned as chief judge
which he was not compelled to done
| had considered very carefully what was
| his obligation toward the bench. the bar
| and the public, his conclusion being that
| having accepted the nomination for Presi-
| dent, 1t was his duty to sever his connec-
| ton with the bench. not merely for the
campaign but for all time. When asked
/ whether he was of the same opinion still
| he answered.
Certainly I am. I would not consider
| such a proposition as that suggested even
| if 1t were made to me by those having
authority to do 1t. Hereafter my work
| shall be at the bar"
Are not these views a little strained?
| Judge Parkers retirement from the bench
| after accepting the St. Louis nomination
| was demanded by every consideration of
| personal and official propriety. He saw his
| duty clearly and did 1t promptly. 1t would
| both have reflected on his taste and mill
ia ted against his canvass had he continued
to sit as a judge while soliciting votes as
political candidate. His case, 1t turned
out, was hopeless, but 1t did not appear so
to him at the time he laid aside his black
silk gown. He was stripping in good faith
for contest in which he and many of his
friends had the livellest confidence.
But why. if the way is open. or his friends
can open way for him. should he not re-
turn to the bench now? If 1t is his pleasure
to remain at the bar that is one thing. But
why should he feel it to be his duty to the

the public's regard, and as lawyer he is
o. course as well equipped for the work of
the bench as when he left it. He has been
tried on the bench and not found wanting
and the probability is that his reappear-
ance there would be highly agreeable to the
New York bar and public without regard
to party.
| If last years race had been close one
revealing Judge Parker as a resourceful
| leader and successful vote getter his pres
ent decision might suggest a purpose on his
part to keep in position to try for the
| prize again in 1908. But there is certainly
| no future in politics for him. Not only
! did he make a disastrous race, but since
| then all discussion has shown that the di-
vision in his party, which he was nomf-
mated to heal, has opened wider than be-
| fore, and his faction is smaller than be-
| fore If democratic national convention
were to meet this coming summer, Judge
| Parker, in contest with Mr.. Bryan for the
| nomination, would be overwhelmingly de-
feated. The democratic party is again
| under the Bryanite influence. with many
of it's eastern members bordering the
| question of another republican affiliation.
| Judge Parker himself may stick. as in 1896
and 1900, for regularity's sake. but as then.
| he will carry nobody with him.

Mr.. HAYS Health.

The statement of Ambassador White, who
ACCOMPANIED Mr.. Hay on shipboard, that
the condition of the latter when he sailed
was by no means as alarming reported
will he welcome news everywhere. Sollcl-
tude aroused by the report was universal.
Mr. Hay is as much beloved as a man
as admired and trusted as an official He
has personal charm as well as genius LOT
affairs and he numbers his friends In all
parties and in all walks of life. He jokes
little about old age. but talk like that from
a man of sixty-seven who has never
burned the candle at both ends need not
do more than amuse us. Mr.. Hay lacks
some years of being an old man. and the
shelf should not be In sight for him.
Naturally we have had some speculation
on the subject of the succession II Mr.. Hay
should break down. and general express
sion OF opinion that 1t would be very dir
fcult for the President to fill his place
All of his hours in office have been I'M
portant, and he has transacted there
good deal of difficult business. He has
made for himself almost place apart
among the eminent men who have served
the country in that post Not a great ex-
FOUNDER of the Constitution like Webster,
nor brilliant party leader like Clay, nor
played in his office so thorough a knowl-
edge of diplomatic questions and so apt
talent for applying 1t that not single
piece of business. no matter how compil-
Gated. has come into his hands without
receiving the impress of his superior gifts.
His name has spelled success straight
along.
And just now larger questions than ever
in which this government Is to play part
seem to be ripening, and the presence or
Mr. Hay In the State Department is there
fore of worldwide concern. If we look to
the East. where Russia and Japan are
drawing their bloody duel to close, or to
Europe where figures are already making
on that result, or near home here, where
Panama, and Santo Domingo. and Venezuela
are in the limelight. we begin to appreciate
the importance of Mr. Hay, not only be-
cause of his demonstrated capacity but his
Familiarity with all the details that have
led up to the present situation. His hand
would guide us through the maze and haze
more surely than that of any other avail
able man.
For these reasons there is a widespread
hope to see Mr. Hay return in good health,
and prepared to take up his work with his
former vim and Zest.
