 Oh, dainty little maiden. with your dainty shirt waist charming, So fresh and crisp with frilliness in most exquisite laundering, Although our alterations great, there's something quite alarming About your present makeup, too, that keeps our glance from wandering. Thus as we stroll along the street in mood that's calm and pensive. When you appear we turn our gaze upon you most admiringly. And then, though you don't know 1t, something makes us apprehensive And bids us fix a startled look upon you most inquiringly. Though life's experience has taught this Is world of chances And that adventures ono must face are manifold and various, |. We are impressed by this years styles from even passing glances That certain incidentals arc unusually precariops.

Recent investigations by the law officers of the war department has brought to light the interesting fact that any person who has the taste so to do can wear the uniform, of any of the military officers of the government without fear of molestation. Recently an officer was dismissed for the good of the service, but he persisted in wearing the uniform of his rank. This was so obnoxious to the department that steps were taken to prohibit him from continuing this affront to the ser. vice from which he had been dis missed. Examination of the law. how ever, showed that the department was powerless and that any person can wear any uniform he pleases. This weakness in the law will be called to the attention of congress and an act passed that will make such an incon. gruity impossible. There is but one official in the government entitled to wear the uniform of the lieutenant general of the army. and that is the chief of staff. General Adna R.

KING AND PRESIDENT
Lord Roberts Toasts Both Rul-
 CTS at Pilgrims Banquet.
WHITELAW REID GUEST OF HONOR
Gathering Included Many of Britain's and America's Famous Men-Our Ambassador at His Initial
 Public Function.

LONDON, June A.-Whitelaw Reid,
 the American ambassador, who has
 been officially received by King Ed
 ward and the members of the cabinet
 and entertained socially by royalty and
 the leaders of English society, made
 his first public appearance as ambassa-
 dor last night at dinner given in his
 honor by the Pilgrims society of Lon
 don. The gathering was one of the
 most notable and included many of
 England's most famous men, with a
 sprinkling of American residents of London, all of whom gave the heartiest welcome to the American representa- tive.
 The banquet hall was plainly but daintily decked with the .entwined American and British flags, huge bells of American Beauty roses and clusters of other flowers.
 Field Marshal Roberts presided and received cablegrams expressing regret at inability to attend and sending greetings to the ambassador and the society from Bishop Potter of New York;. Joseph Chamberlain, Foreign Minister Lansdowne, Sir Mortimer Du- rand, the British ambassador at Wash ington; former Ambassador Choate and Vice Admiral Lord Charles Reresford.
 Lord Roberts in proposing a toast to King Edward and President Roosevelt said:
 The first toast on this vast pro- gramme is one which cannot but ap- peal to every one in this room. It is that of King Edward and President Roosevelt. I thought that on an oeca- sion such as this when we Pilgrims of this country assembled to do honor to a brother Pilgrim in the person of the eminent gentleman who has come to this country to represent America at the court of St. James that it would be appropriate to bracket the names of the rulers of the respective countries not only because they are our rulers, but because in their persons we have two of the greatest peacemakers of the present time. When we reflect on the happy results of King Edwards conti- mental journeys, upon the friendly rela- tions of Great Britain and other pow CTS and indeed on all and every phase of the kings reign, King Edwards success as a promoter of peace and good feeling stands out pre-eminent. The same might be said of President Roosevelt, who even now is giving the world the strongest proof of his love of peace and who may be considered to be one of civilizations truest friends.
 T ask you all to drink to the health. long life and prosperity of the king and Of that distinguished American gentle man, President Roosevelt"
 Sir Henry Irving read a poem writ. ten for the occasion by Alfred Austin. the poet laureate.
 Field Marshal Sir George White. gov ernor of Gibraltar. proposed the toast of The Pilgrims"
 General Stewart L. woodford. former American minister to Spain, replied for the American Pilgrims and Dr. Conan Doyle for the British Pilgrims.
 Sir Henry Campbell,Bannerman in the health of Lord Roberts briefly referred to Mir. Reid's former visits to England and spoke of how glad England was to welcome him back.

BOSTON POLES MEET
Resolutions Adopted condemning the
Russian Rureauoraoy
Nv Aseociated Press,


BOSTON. Dec. 25.--'The Russian bu-
reaucracy is condemned in resolutions
adopted last night at meetings Of the
LEGAL branch of the Polish National al
lance. The object set forth was to
show sympathy with the demand now
being made in Russia for a constitu-
tional government, and for the assist
ance of our Polish fellow-countrymen
battling for freedom, poor and suffer-
ing hunger and other privations at the
hands of a relentlessly oppressive gov
ernment."
Jan Romasselxiewicz, vice chancellor
of the Polish National alliance presided
and several others made speeches in
Polish. The resolutions say, in part:
ITO the people of the Russian emrire,
who, because of the misfortunes their
country has lately suffered in the agony
or despair, are attempting to break the
bonds of political slavery and are seek
ing in a constitution defense against
the autocracy and bureaucracy, the
cause. of these misfortunes, we extend
our sympathy and pray that success
may crown their efforts.
1--WE condemn the murders and bloody
assaults on a defenseless people COM
mitted at the instance of the minions
of the czar's bureaucracy.
"Actuated by a feeling of righteous
indignation at the commission of such
cruelties unheard of in the history of
the world, and realizing the gravity of
the present situation in Russian Po-
land we appeal to a free people of
America, who at all times have ex-
pressed sympathy and given assistance
to those oppressed and struggling for
fl eedom that they will not forget our
beloved country, which sent forth to
the assistance of the struggling new
American republic Kosciusko and Pu-
laski, which furnished hundreds of vol
unteers in the ranks of the army that
struggled for the colored mans amanci-
patton, whose sons in hundreds enlisted
under the American flag in it's latest
war for the independence of Cuba.

Her Allowance Of $4,000 a
Month Not Enough
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Dec. 25.--Frank Work.
the aged millionaire, in an interview
today gives his version of the run
tured relations with Mrs. Burke
Roche. The aged father casts serious
reflections on his daughter, and says
incidentally that her children will re-
main with him. Francis George
Burke Roche, one of Mrs. Burke
Roche's sons, also says he, his sister
and brother will remain with their
grandfather.
Work said: MY daughter has eth
er got strange infatuation or is suf-
fering from an unreasonable hallu-
cination. Fanny has had an allow
ance of $4,000 a month, but I have
been looking over her accounts of late
and find she has been spending more
than 5000 a day in excess of her allow
ance.
"She seems to think don't give her
money enough and wants to get more
Fannie used to have breakfast served
in bed and Immediately after dressing
she would leave the house, not return
ing until luncheon. After luncheon she
would go out again between and 8
in the afternoon and remain until din
ner time. 1 don't know what it all
means. 1t seems very strange to me.
She won't explain 1t. 1 want to say
right here her children will remain
with me-"
Work then gave his side of the quar-
rel over Mrs. Burke-R -Roches eating in
the drawing room, which practically
agrees with the first account of it.

SLAIN BY MACHINE GUNS
Fighting at Moscow Was in the Ma
ture of Butehery

nv Associa'" '"d PROSE-
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 20, 1:lO p.
indirect telegraphic communication
with Moscow was severed last night,
but the government succeeded in re-
storing communication by a round
about route this morning. All reports
agree thatthe fighting yesterday which
continued until midnight, assumed the
nature of butchery by the machine
guns of the artillery, grape and canis-
ter being employed mercilessly against
the i'll armed insurgents.
At Rocius tales of the Cossacks, who
were piled with vodka until drunk,
fired down the streets, sometimes
charging with lances. The insurgents
displayed great stubornness in holding
their barricades, even advancing in a
mass to the slaughter AT the same
time bombs were thrown from the
windows of houses near the barricades
occupied by revolutionists.
The artillery was summoned and
battered the houses to pieces.
The plan of the insurgents, it is
stated, is to hold the outskirts and
gradually inclose the troops in the
center of the city. Leaders announce
that an army of 10000 is concentrated
at Orechoffsueff northeast of Moscow
and will soon be ready to march to the
city's assistance. The latest repert is
that both sides were exhausted at mid
night when firing practically ceased.
The streets were in absolute darkness
save for searchlights in the towers OF
bivouacs behind barriCades.
