which Is Dissolved.

New York.-Lewis ]. Phillips, senior
member of the real estate firIr of y. j.
Phillips & Co., and member Of the
chamber of commerce, rs dead at his
home. 15 East Eightieth street. Of heart
disease. Mr.. Phillips was "a GEARS old.
In 1881 he came to this city from Lon

To immediate friends alone was
known for several years after 1888, a
peculiar relationship existing within
the Phillips family. Isaac Phillips was
the junioe member of the firm. When
he died he left widow and eight chill
dren. 1t was not publicly known until
1897 that L. J. Phillips had contracted
q civil marriage with the widow of his
brother. The children opposed the
union, and resented any allusion to the
civil contract, which never was fol-
lowed by marriage rite. Under the
religion professed by both persons a
civil ceremony is not recognized as q
marriage rite.

Dad was afraid they were going to
charge the prayers in the bill for push
ing him up, but told dad that these
people expected every time they went
up to the top that it would be their
last trip, as they knew that some day
the volcano would open in a new place
and swallow them whole, with all the
tourists. Then he gave them dollar
apiece to pray for him, and wanted to
go back down the mountain and let
Vesuvius run its own fireworks, but the
Chicago lady told dad to brace up and
she would protect him, and so, the
guides gave few more pushes, and we
were on top of the volcano, and dad
collapsed and had to be brought to
with smelling salts and whisky that
the woman carried in her pistol pocket
Gee, but it was worth all the trou-
BILE to get UP the mountain, to see the
sight that opened up. The hole in the
mountain filed with boiling stuff was
worth the price of admission, and the
roaring of the boiling stuff, and the
explosions way down cellar, and the
flying stones, the smoke going into the
air for mile, like the burning of an
oil well, the red-hot lava finding crew
ices to leak through, and flowing down
the side of the mountain in streams
like hot maple strip, made a scene
that caused us to take off our hats and
thank the good Lord that the thing
hadn't overflowed enough to hurt us.
But could see dad was scared, cause
when / wanted him to go around the
edge of the crater with me, and see
the hell-roaring free show from other
points of view, and see where the hot
ashes years ago rolled down and COW
cred Pompeii and Herculaneum, he
baked and said he had seen all he
wanted to, and if he could stay alive
until the next car went down the noun
tain, they could all have his interest
in Vesuvius, and be darned to them,
but he said if / wanted to go around
looking for trouble, he would stay
there under big rock, with the Chi
cago lady, and wait for me to come
back She said she knew dad was all
tired out, and needed rest, and she
would stay with him, and keep him
cheered up; so left them and went off
with one of the dagoes, to slide down
hill on some flowing lava, and pick up
specimens.
Well, sir, ] wish l could get along
some way without telling the rest of
this sad story, but if l am going to
be historian I have got to tell the
whole blame thing.
When I left dad and the Chicago
woman she had produced lunch from
somewhere about her person, and
small bottle, and they were eating and
drinking, and dad was laughing more
natural than had seen him laugh
since we run over the old woman with
the automobile at Nice, and she was
smiling on dad just as though she was
his sweetheart. CAS- went around the

fractional Lines Broken.

Since the active work of legislation
has ceased some Of the members, for
the first time during the session, have
embraced the opportunity of becoming
acquainted. There has been a gradual
breaking down of factional lines, re-
sulting in pleasing close to long and
wearisome session. In the senate there
has been a tactful omission, in many
instances when provocation demanded
something else, of the factional spirit
so apparent at the conclusion of the ses-
sions of four and two years ago. The
senators leave for their homes with the
best of feeling prevailing and with a
minimum of the ranking influences
created by fractional conflicts and differ
ences. The assembly is less fortunate
in the personal aspect of matters, for
here the driving process, in the opinion
of the leaders, necessitated the appli-
cations of methods which for years will
leave more or less of sting Instead Of
the bars of party di union being taken
down and a reasonable effort being
made toward party harmony the last
few days Of the session in many in
stances intensified animosities among
the members.

New Use for Electricitu

It is a French engineer who seriously
announces his invention of a suit of cleo
trio clothing, with fine wire woven in The
goods and a storage battery. BY means
of this invention he afirms that the body
can be kept at comfortable tempera-
ture in the coolest weather. There is no
apparent reason why we should stop
with this. Little II any more current
would be needed to produce light such
as persons on the vaudeville stage dis
play. Thus every pedestrian at night
would become walking lamppost. with
electric force enough to shocl ca .nebri-
ate who might wish to cling to him. Il
would be practicable. too, for an Ameri-
can inventor to connect the current with
roller skates, thus allowing every man
to be his own trolley car Philadelphia

Rate Commission Named.

Gov. La FolleIte's rate commission is
a fact. The governor appointed Prof
B. H. Meyer, of the state university;
Halford Erickson, of Madison, and Nils
P. Haugen as members Of the body. His
selections went to the senate, and a
howl, which was heard to Rhinelander,
was emitted from the senate chamber.
That body declared that it would never
consider Haugen as a member of the
commission, and refused to listen to
his name. The governor gracefully ac-
coded to the will of the dfgnified upper
house, which had just previously given
vent to the yell, and announced that,
really, he preferred John Barnes, of
Rhinelander, anyhow This gentleman
is the one for whom the governor en-
deavored to pass the fee bill, providing
that Barnes and Bashfo1d be paid for
their work in determining that Gov.
La Fo1lette's ticket was the correct one
last summer. Now Mr.. Barnes is mem
Der Of the committee, in accordance
with the ratification Of the senate and
the personnel of the body is complete.

might take a valuable lesson from this.
The season is marked by the num-
bers OF print frocks for wee maids,
print material that for some time
was reiegated to servants. 1t washes
beautifully, is very strong, the ideal
stuff out of which to fashion everyday
frocks. Often these are made very
plainly, the trimming one of those
big collars, made of all-over embroid-
cry, or nainsook edged with torchon
lace. Get the right shape and fit, and
one need not spend great deal on the
material.
For young misses, there is nothing
better than a street suit of light gray
wool, the skirt pleated, the coat a
semi-l0ose one. With a variety of
waists, here are any number of cos
tunes, enough even to satisfy the bud
ding woman. With a plain shirt waist
in the morning, the suit looks tailory
and trim; with lingerie waist in the
afternoon, it is quite dress-up af-
fair.
For frocks to wear on the cool days
of summer we find demi-season models
of mohair, and lightweight wool plaids.
Pique, also, is material that is warm
enough for quite low temperature.
We observed one mohair dress that
was exceedingly pretty; it was of blue,
with pointed yoke shocked IN lighter
blue, the belt was white, embroidered
in blue, the skirt was shocked three
inches at the waist line, and the
sleeves were shocked from elbow to
wrist
A dainty little frock for six-year-
old was of white nainsook, fine and
sheer 1t was on the Empire order,
hung straight back and front from a
square yoke of embroidery, the joining
was band of beading. Pink ribbons
were run through the beading, the
stockings and hair ribbons were OF
pink, the shoes white. The hat was of
white horsehair and lace frills, about
the crown were wreathed baby roses in
pink and white. 1t was not startlingly
new, but very dainty and fresh.

Guard Under Civil Service.

The Wisconsin national guard is now
under the same civil service regulations
as the regular army of the United States.
The bill putting the guard on that basis
has been passed by the legislature, and
will be signed by the governor. Several
other bills affecting the guard have
passed the legislature. A summary of
these bills, which affect all members
of the guard and indirectly all other
citizens, is as follows:
In the event of war or Of the organized
militia being called from the state into
the service of the United States the gov
ernor is authorized to organize temper
airy force for protection within the state
to take its place. Upon the return of the
regular organization the temporary force
is to be disbanded.
Provision is made to cover the expense

out OF a fine big place on the avenue
the other day on her way to school,
and we admired her crisp fresh clothes,
She wore gray-blue cotton frOck,
belted blouse and pleated skirt; the
belt was white; her shoes and stock
ings were of tan; her hat was Tuscan
braid trimmed with ribbon. No fur
bellows, but all good style, of late fash
ion.
The princess petticoat for the small
girl is liked and appears in different
models; it may be gored from neck to
hem, it may be long plain waist
sewed to straight skirt, it may have
an added fiounce. The tendency is to-
wards clothes as little burdensome as
possible.
Especially is this noticeable in in
fants' garments. Three pieces are all
that there need be; wooden knit band
with wide soft shoulder straps, next
this a one-piece princess petticoat Of
soft flannel reaching from the neck 10
something like IL. inches below the
feet, with good big armholes pinked or
scalloped, and couple of buttons at
the back to fasten it; and now comes
the dress. All the garments may be
placed on at once, the sleeves having
previously been fitted the one in the
other. Not much tucking is seen on the
latest dresses.
Lingerie bOnnets and coats are IN
favor, fashions for wee ones following
those of the big ladies. And, most SEN
sible, it is now considered fashionable
to have all children's clothing tubbable.
coats as well as frockS. Sleeves for
! the frocks are either bishop or else
short puffs, elbow sleeves as popular
for baby as for mother.
Some charming washable things are
worth description, may offer sugges-
ton to the home dressmaker. A long
coat for a two-year-old was of white
| linen embroidered in blue bachelors
buttons; the cap worn with this was a
very small one, but tied with stun
ming large bow of blue silk; the coat
collar was long military cape, with a
scalloped edge and punches of the flow
ers here and there. Another long coat
| for child a little older than this one
was made of linen duck, plain save for
double capes finished with eyelet en-
broidery.

took the bet, pulled her arms away

going to throw her into The crater, but
told him she had certainly been good

wrist now, it being the day of dainti-
ness and lingerie softness.
White linen suits and colored linen
suits are numerous. seen oftener in the
form of jacket and skirt than in the
shirt waist popular for two years back.
To wear with the white costume are
charming black and white hats and
white wells The gloves should be
white and cool looking, the shoes may
be either white or black. The belt
may be of white kid or linen; for the
palmer frocks ribbon is not SO good.
Stout women that have felt it incum-
bent upon them to avoid white, this
season may with impunity indulge in
it, the models are SO well adapted to
them. They fit fat about the hips, but
not with exaggerated "habit back,
which but accentuates both ayordu-
pois and angularity; the coats are on
the sack order and all semi-loose, fall
in straight lines; the sleeves are
smallish.

The question is asked: Why did the
senate leaders refuse to accept Haugen
on the commission? And to this query
there is but one answer and that is adj
vanced by Haugen's friends. 1t is de-
clared that administration men are raj
lying round Haugen as their leader,
and the desire to see him crowned with
the gubernatorial wreath has kept them
from7allowing his name to be considered
on the commission. How Haugen's
