sian army ana navy a ever fallen short
of it's obligations the fact has not yet
come to light.
The prominence accorded to the mat
ter of providing abundant religious
privileges for the army is due to the
fact that Russian soldiers are more de-
pendent upon religion than are the
soldiers of any other Christian power.
Startling as that statement may seem
at first thought, it is a well-known
truth that the Russian recruit, illiterate
and unreasoning as he is, rates his re-
ligion as his most valued possession.
He insists on that estimate even though
he may not be the owner of a single
Christian virtue. Bestial, irresponsible
and vodka-sodden he may be and too
frequently is, but it has never yet &C.
CURED to him that his religion Is some
thing that may be separated from his
daily life. 1t is the only suggestion of
liberty he has ever known; not, indeed,
thought or person, but it is the only
thing which cannot be taken from him.
His government may Cypress him and
fail to provide for his creature comfort,
but it must not and does not neglect his
religious necessities. He may know
nothing whatever about spirituality,
but the material substance of religion
Is vital to his being, and that is the rea-
son why the Russian army has the most
complete religious organization ever
put in the field. That is the explanation
of the activity shown by the Orthodox
church in the present campaign.

are exciting enough, but the coming one
promises to be intensely interesting.
The situation is peculiar. The present
incumbent of the Office, Mrs. Charles w.
Fairbanks, wife of the newly-elected
vice president of the United States. has
held the Office for four years. The Wash
ington contingent of the society, for
for the sake of the prestige which her
husbands position would give her, and,
incidentally, them, are contemplating a
coup d'etat by which she may be retained
as president general. The only other
candidate in the field for the high Of
fee is Mrs. Donald Mclean, regent Of
the New York city chapter, D.. A. R.
The National Society of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, according
% a Washington daughter, who is con-
sidered an authority on all historical
data of the society, was organized in
Washington, D. c., August 8, 1890. The
founders were Miss Eugenia Washing
ton, Miss Mary Desha and Mrs. Ellen
Harden Walworth, the only three wom-
en-, who, owing to the season of the year,
were near enough to the capital to re-
spond to the call. Thus the society,
which numbers 10000 women to-day,
was modestly started. It's raison 6atre
was mans injustice-the refusal of the
Sons of the American Revolution to ad-
init women to their society.
The society was formally organized
October IL, 1890. In October, 1890, at
a meeting held at the home of Mrs.
Cabell, the colors of Washington's staff,
dark blue and white, were chosen, and
the motto Amor Patrae" proposed.
which was afterwards changed to "Home
and Country" A seal bearing the
figure of Abigail Adams in the costume
of 1776, and seated at a spinning wheel,
the suggestion of Miss Mary Desha, was
adopted.

ers are to take charge of the reservation
they will only hold Office until they have
acquired title to the property, and re-
stored the building as nearly as posi-
BILE to the condition it was in during
revolutionary days. When this has been
done it will be turned over to the Scenic

| sian young men, threw himself with all
| the earnestness and zeal of his nature
into the work.
One who had the privilege of meeting
him personally and talking with him
on several occasions described him as
being a man of splendid physique, not
less than six feet tall. In spite of his
200 pounds he seemed as agile as an
athlete.
He possessed a most attractive per-
~sonality and impressed one as being a
man with a warm heart and an exceed
iugly sympathetic nature. One had to
speak with him but a moment to feel
that here was a man whose whole life
was dominated by one great, unalterable
purpose, and that that purpose was to do,
by every means in his power, all that
he could to place within the~reach of
his fellow countrymen. especially those
OF the great peasant class, all the bene-
fits and blessings that are the common
heritage of those who live under a free
government.

surroundings that he reverently lifted
his hat, in which act he was Immediately

spanish-American's Novel Manner Of

Customers.

In an uptown restaurant where the at

derby Spanish-American diner was max
ing himself rather conspicuous by his
enthusiastic enjoyment of everything,
| says the New York Sun.
The climax was reached when he sent
a message by one Of the walters to the
piano player, who conducts a small but
efficient orchestra. The musician nodded
pleasantly an assent and after hanging
up the request card dug some sheets
of music out of his collection and passed
the sheets around to the players.
AS he did SO, the elderly Spaniard
stood up and approached the table near
est the orchestra, at which solitary man
was sitting.

with a slight accent, IF l took this seat

mot at all" said the man.
He bowed, turned the chair around and
sat down. Then as the instrument struck
up La Paloma," he moistened his
thumbs on his tongue and began snap
ping his fingers in time to the Spanish
dance movement. He did not snap one
finger on each hand, but all four, and he
snapped them as loud as the cracking of
a whip. The effect was exactly that of
castanets.
Everyone enjoyed the performance,
but nobody so much as the man himself.
When the piece andthe encore were over
he shook hands with every one of the
musicians, and he sent them cigars by
the waiter as soon as he returned to his
place.

~vention were held in Mechanics hall,
and the thousands who were present on
the evening when the foreign delegates
were introduced will remember how, in

Father Gapon impressed all with
whom he came into contact as being q

tanned to the welfare of young men. He
gave special attention to the exhibit OF
the evening educational classes of the
Young Mems Christian association, and
during the recesses of the convention

~ HICKS are more prominent
AfkNJ than they have been in
NM years. They are all well
enough for her that can buy
mA1N suit devoted strictly to
~ utility and does not have to
plan to make one costume do
service on various kinds of occasions.
Checks are relief from the one-tone
cloths, and many shown this season are
very attractive; but as a rule they can
not be worn so long as plain goods, the
wearer much sooner wearying of the
fancier material.
When 1t comes to the checked silks
of the season, one must confess they are
unusually pleasing; checks and hair
lines and dots, all of an artistic tumble
of color. Checked silks will rival the
shot silks this summer; one dare not
say as yet which will be winner.
The checked woods all come in fine
smooth cloth; no rough surfaces are
seen. One excellent model is of gray
lightweight wool with narrow lines OF
black marking off checks; the trimming
silk on the jacket, the waistcoat of blue
silk embroidered in pinkish blues and
browns. The skirt is very plain, plated
about the hips.
Another good checked model was a
Panama cloth of green and blue. The
little coat was trimmed with plaitings
of green silk, the green silk waistcoat
was embroidered in blues and greens,
with little touches of black here and
there. This suit should be worn with
a green silk petticoat, and bit of style
would be added by parasol of the same
yerdant hue.
Checks and plaid have brought the
circular skirt again into favor. And
dressmakers find that the desired flare
is given very well by the circular cut.
The sensible separate walking-skirt will
be of smooth-faced check, and worn with
a trim little bolero will make very
fetching utility suit.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1905-06-17

What some call blurred plaids and
checks are really very lovely and come
in finest materials. A gray that was
almost a green was combined with or
ange and showed occasional touches of
pinkish yellow tones. The trimming
was white braid and buttons covered
with yellow silk, the waistcoat was OF
white silk. Even in yoiles we find these
delicate color combinations; delicate
grays blending with soft lavenders.
green and white prettily contrasted,

no startling contrasts, the softest tones
are employed.
great deal of white is introduced in
the costumes of the spring, and all
through the summer white will have
sway. The vogue of chemisettes and
deep cuffs of lace, of wide white collars,
continues, and it is hoped this quaint.
pretty fashion will have long day.
A fashion that is trying to make head
way, but which we do not bank on, is
the elbow-sleeye for wool street dresses.
1t is French innovation, which will not
Immediately find followers in this prac-
tical side of the water. 1t would quite
ruin us in the matter of gloves.
The afternoon gown with elbow
sleeves is an assured success, and there
is reason in this; for gowns for home
wear or afternoon teas and card parties
we can afford to go in for fanciful ap-
parel, but for the exigencies of shop
ping and marketing we prefer simple
style of waist and eoat-the shirt-waist
suit, for instance, the costume evolved
in this country.
Colored hats are appearing; the mil.
liners tell us we are to wear gay head
gear the coming season. Green seems
to be having its innings even more than
last summer, which was quite green
enough, we thought. Maine will be ex.
tensively used for crowns and trim
mings, and it is generally becoming
Outing hats will be almost universally
of felt, on the whole sensible thing.
