COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS.
With Warmer Weather Distributiye
Trade and Crop Developments
Are Improving.

New York, June Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Distributive trade and crop develop
ments, while still on an irregular
character, hold and have perhaps add
ed to the improvement manifested last
week, for which warmer weather is re-
sponsibe. Sales of summer goods are
more active ard business for fall de-
livery appears well from all sections
save Texas, where impaired wheat crop
returns have deterrent effect. Conf
denC6 in the future still continues. Ex-
port trade is good, railway earnings
are large, building is active and steel
mills engaged on the heavier forms of
finished material will not close down
this summer. The labor situation,
though disturbed here and there, is on
the whole pleasant one. Crop pros
poets in general continue favorable, al
though horn conditions are spotted and
the plant is>very much behind.
Prices of all products still seem to
favor the agricultural interests.

WASHABLE GLOVES LIKED.
% Not Make the Hands Perspire and
Have the Added Advantage Of
Looking Fresh and Clean.

Washable gloves have become abso-
lutely indispensable to the summer girl.
Not only do they save her hands from
the ravages of the burning sun without
inducing perspiration, but they are al
ways Immediately fresh and clean.
Each night the pair she has worn during
the day gets its tub bath in warm soap
suds and is dry and ready for use the
following day.
Fabric gloves. whether in Isle or linen
mesh, are so skillfully woven now that
they have lost all of the scratchy feeling
which has long been their Objectionable
feature. The girl who is peculiarly SEN
sitive to this irritation will find Isle
gloves lined with the most supple Of China
silk Fashionable shades, such as old
rose and old blue are lined with check
silk or silk embroidered with polka dots
or tiny flowers. Linen mesh gloves. SO
popular during the warm months last
| year, will be more than ever In evidence
| this coming summer and the sttchlngs
| on the back will show most elaborate
| handwork in self-tone or contrasting
shade
But 1t is the silk glove which has cap
tured the affections of summer girls,
purse-proud or economically inclined.
| Not one Of the infinite variety Of warm
weather shades but can be perfectly
matched in any length of silk weave.
In imitation of kid gloves the wrists are
often lined with silk of contrasting

are lined with pale blue or lemon, pink
gloves have blue lining, and gray silk is
faced with lavender White silk will

while gloves with colored lining will be
stitched in silk to match the Innings.
For street wear almond shades take the
lead In popularity.
Hand embroidery has invaded the
realm of silk gloves, as II has that Of
every other feminine accessory of dress.
Most exquisite flower designs cover the
backs of the hands on short gloves or
run the length of the arm on elbow and
shoulder gloves Scallops of button
hoing or flowers finish The edges, while
one fantastic pair shows a gauntlet fin
ish of leather in soft pastel shade.
In combination with embroidery.
flmy lace medallions are inset into long
silk gloves. Ruff'es of Valencennes also
adorn the wrists stunning pair of
black silk elbow length gloves, long
enough to give a mousquetaire effect on
| the arm, has double ruflle of narrow.
black silk Valenciennes, alternating
with an inch-wide lace insertion from ell
bow to wrist
Filmy silk mitts refuse to be sighted.
Each year they bob up serenely, and
their persistency has finally won out.
| The summer girl of 1905 will undoubt-
edly have goodly supply to match her
evening frocks. Double ruffles of Valen-
ciennes finish the edge of mitts, with
sometimes the addition Of lace inser-
tions.

WHEN ARRANGING FLOWERS
Those with Weak Stems Should Be
Supported-A Simple Home
Made Device.

Arranging flowers whose stems are
weak pansies, French daisies, violets,
and most wild flowers, is rather diff
cult. The usual method is to place
them in a shallow bowl where they
stand up bravely around the edges and
collapse in the middle. One trouble is
that these flowers are usually picked
with very little foliage, which is mis-
take in more than one way Panses
especially should be surrounded with
plenty of foliage and buds to get the
best effect, Violet leaves are very
charming, 1t is necessary to have a
few wire flower holders to fit bowls
They are not very expensive, but II
even small sums are not available the
holders may be made at home at a
trifling expense. Get piece of wire
netting with mesh half an inch wide,
and, with an old pair of shears, cut the
shape of the bowl, little smaller
than the top, leaving on four sides Of
the piece half dozen wires as long as
the bowl is deep These wires are bent
at right angles and serve as a support
to the holder A number of these
holders can he made, one for each
flower bowl on hand Another way Of
arranging short or weak-stemmed flow
ers Is to place them in small glasses
of the champagne order, and after
wards grouping the glasses together on
little tray or mirror Long -stemmed
flowers show to good advantage ar.
ranged in the bronze flower holders
which come in sets of three and FIVE,
They are expensive, however, A good
substitute can be made at home, using
strip of sheet lead one or two inches
wide and IL to 90 inches long. Bend in
as many S loops as desired, and place
In the bottom Of bowl, setting the
ends of the stems in the loops.

Veal Curry.

Veal is one of the meats especially
adapted for curries. Here Is an admir-
able recipe, recommended at the New
England School of Cookery: A slice Of
veal half an inch thick, weighing a
pound and half, is cooked quickly in
frying pan without any butter. The
surface should be quickly scared. Take
out of the pan and cut in pieces about
an inch and half square. Make the
curry sauce as follows: Fry two sliced
onions In half a cupfui Of butter, take
out the onions and add to the butter
the meat, half a tablespoonful Of curry
powder, and boiling water to cover.
Cook slowly until the meat is tender.
Thicken when done with flour stirred
into cold water and season with salt,
cayenne and a squeeze of lemon Juice.
Serve with a border Of boiled rice.

WASHINGTON DECIDED UPON
The American Capital to be the
Scene of the Russo-Japnnese
Peace Negotiations.

Washington, June 16.-America's
national capital has been selected as
the seat of negotiations between the
plenipotentiaries of Russia and Japan
for treaty of peace. The choice of
Washington as the location of the
peace conference marks another for
ward step in the negotiations towards
ultimate peace in the far east instituted
by President Roosevelt.
Official announcement of the selec-
tion of Washington was made by Sec
retary Loeb at the White House
Thursday afternoon. 1t was in type
written form and read as follows:
When the two governments were
unable to agree upon either Chefoo OF
Paris, the president suggested The
Hague, but both governments have
now requested that Washington be
chosen as the place of meeting, and
the president has accordingly formally
notified both governments that Wash
ington will be so selected"
This statement was supplemented
shortly afterward by a semi-otilcia
announcement that after meeting anC
organizing, the plenipotentiaries of tht
two governments, If it should be fount
to be uncomfortably hot in Washing
ton, may adjourn the meeting to some
summer resort in the north, and there
continue their sittings until such tint
as the weather in Washington shall b'
more comfortable"
President Roosevelt is gratifed tha
the arrangements of preliminary ma
ture have been completed without un
due friction. He would have preferred
that the conference be held at Th
Hague, although the selection of Wash
ington naturally is complimentary t
him, personally, and to the American
government.

decision of the court was handed

the signs now used on most VI the
street cars in the State to designate
the white and black compartments are
not screens within the meaning of the
law. In commenting on the law he
says: "The word screens, as well as
the word partition, imparts that one
race is to be shut off from any sort of
contact with the other. Everybody
knows what a screen or partition is,
and everybody knows that sign,
such as was used in this case, Is no
partition or screen whatever within
the meaning and purpose of the law
The court holds that corporations op.
Grating street car lines should do so
to the end that harmony and peace
among the races prevail so far as II
is concerned, The decision of the
lower court is affirmed, as the com.
pany did not have up screens or par
titions. and had itself violated the law.
The Judgment of the lower court was
