THE FASHIONS.
(Continued from Tenth Page.)

much ornamented yoke was of silver embroidered lace and Valenciennes edging with touches of green velvet and tiny almond blossoms, and was divided from the bodice by shaped band of the velvet, outlined by marrow silver braid in a fancy design. The sleeves were particularly pretty, of all- over Valenciennes with an empiece- ment of the silver embroidery on which were regularly set small bows of the green velvet, which also appeared on the front of the bodice. The sleeves were elbow-length, and terminated in a frill of Valenciennes edging, held in place by twisted silver cord, and were trimmed with velvet bows and the tiny pink flowers.
 With this was worn a tucked eton trimmed with gray velvet, silver braid, and a handsome chiffon and chenille trimming in soft gray and brown pussy-wilIow in effect. The whole was very becoming to the tall, striking Wearer.
 The jumper" waist is meeting with good deal of approval. Taking, as it does, very little material and needing no great skill in the cutting, it is a garment that can be easily added to the wardrobe of the woman of moder- ate means. In black or plaid taffeta it is very attractive, with it's under bodice of embroidered linen or batiste. One suspects that summer shirt-waists will be utilized with jumper waists and worn out during the winter, but why not? They may be superseded before summer comes again. Yet no woman fears the displacement of the white waist. It is too useful and necessary to be in any danger as yet. Shirtwaist suits have threatened it, colored bodices to match one's skirt have menaced it for a time; but after all the survival of the Attest preserves the lingerie waist We could never get along without it. winter or summer.

ALEXANDER POPE.

Few men of our day comprehend the commanding intellectual position held by Pope during the latter period of his life and for long period after his death. Tere has never been anything approaching it in the history of our own literature or of any literature. In the opinion of vast numbers he was not merely the greatest English poet of his time, but the greatest English poet of all time; not merely the greatest of English poets, but the greatest of all poets that ever existed. Even tose who took the lowest estimate of his charac- ter-and of such there was no small number-entertaine the higest admi- ration forhisgenius. Theye expressed themselves with an extravaganza of praise which astounds the modern reader, toa apt to go to the other eX- treme of unwarranteddepre They did not content themselves with ac- cording him mere greatness. It was asumer by his friends as matter of course; it was conceded by the indif- ferent and even by those personally hostile. As one illustration out of many, a poem appeared in 1733, enti- tied An Epistle to the Little Satyr- ist of Twickenham." It was full of the .severest reflections upon Pope's char acter. It spoke of him as an object of universal scorn. It charged him with being under the influence of ill nature spleen, envy, malice and avarice, Yet it admitted that not only in early youth did he surpass others, but that his powers had increased with advan- cling years,
 Till to perfection you at last arriv'd, Which none have e'er excelPd that ever
 liv'd.
 This was no sentiment of a solitary individual. It was a widespread feel ing at the time; and it did not die out suddenly, If anything, the belief in- creased in strength after Popes death We can get some idea of it's force by the few verses summing up his char acter, which were immediately pro- duced by the man against whom, for a quarter of a century, the poet had been directing the shafts of his satire The year before Pope died Colley Cibber had been substituted in place of Theo- bald as the hero of "The Dunciad, He had eery reason to feel and ex- press the bitterest resentment against the author of the satire, so far as a like a huge caterpillar, snapping its nature almost absolutely free from ran cor could entertain such a sentiment T.

SUBSTANTIAL BRIDGE.
New Roller Lift Over Houstonic Partly
 Opened

New Roller Lift Over Houstonic Partly
 Opened.
 The new bridge over the Housatonic river near Stratford, which was partly opened last week, when completed will have four tracks and is a part of the four tracking system of the main line of the New Haven road. It is said by contractors that the new bridge, half of the superstructure of which was fin- ished on Saturday so as to enable trains to use it, Is the most substan- tlal bridge on the system and under ordinary conditions should be strvicea- ble for more than one hundred years.
 All of the rolling lift bridges have worked perfectly, excepting the one at Westport over the Saugatuck river which gave the company considerable trouble after it's construction, but which since has been gotten into prop CT working order. These rolling lift bridges are the highest type of bridge construction known to modern engi- neering and are also the most expen- sive. It is estimated that the company now has nearly two million dollars in- vested in bridges of this type.

CHAIR THROWING GHOST.

Epworth, the birthplace of the four- der of Methodism, has long been famed for it's ghost of Old Jeffrey and the mysterious "rappings' which were heard at the old rectory in the time of the Wesleys. Lately the quiet of the little Lincolnshire town has again been upset by a supernatural at the house of small farmer, whose wife died a short time ago, after long illness. Since her death, at frequent intervals, often several times during the day, most unusual loud noises have been heard, It is said to have commenced by scratching and knocking under the bed, and has since been heard in diff ferent parts of the house. The whole family for the last three or four weeks have had scarcely any sleep, and the other day a chair in the bedroom was thrown down, and also box contain ing clothes. Afterward the ghost of the departed woman appeared on the top of the landing, and came down stairs dressed in white, and was seen at the foot of the stairs by three per sons.-Dundee Advertiser,

SPEAKING THROUGH THE NOSE.
 The offensiveness of the present de- feet could not be exaggerated perhaps, but it is best to guard against exag- geration in dealing with it, Not lons ago we talked with an observant Eng Iishman, who was hardly the most willing of witnesses, but just as we'll as a gentle spirit, and we asked him if he had been much struck by our far famed nasality since coming among us. No, he said, not half so much as he had expected; but what he had noticed was that we spoke drawlingly, drag gingly, in tones that weakly and tardi- ly did their office It seemed to us, when we though the matter over, that there was a great deal of truth in what he said, and we now commend his re mark, together with our own less leni- ent accusations, to the attention of the American Woman's Speech Reformers. What they want to get at is the aver age offence, and to err as to its precise nature. There is no doubt that certain of our women twang, and whine and whiffie and whinny but possibly close inquiry might develop the fact that, after all, it may by a lazy and careless mismanagement of the voice In the sort suggested which is most to me correct ed.-Wllliam Dean Howells, in Har- per's Bazar.

No false pretense has marked the career of Ely's Cream Balm. No idle promises of rewards for cases it will not cure. Being entirely harmless, it is not responsible like the catarrh snuffs and powders, for minds shattered by cocaine. The great positive virtue of Ely's Cream Balm is that it speedily and completely cures nasal catarrh and hay fever, Back of this statement is the testimony of thousands and a repu- tation of many years success.

Official announcement of a case
of yellow fever at New iberia was
made Sunday. The patient is a
negro boy about IL years of age
and was. taken i'll last Wednes-
day. DR.. Rand was called and
the case appearing suspicious
every precaution was taken.
Other physicians were called and
to make sure DR.. Irion, president
of the State Board was notified
and he sent Drs. p. e. Archinard
and G. Chassigniac, of New Or
leans. The case was carefully
observed and on Sunday. morn
ing q secret ballot was taken by
the local physicians and experts,
and unanimous vote pronounced
the case genuine yellow fever.
DR.. Irion arrived at 2 a. m.

of the committee of seventeen
who acted last year, the mayor
and Health Officer Roch, and to-
gether the situation was dis
cussed. Measures were at once
taken for a general fumigation.
The house is situated some dis
lance from other houses and
with the precautionary meas
ures taken it is hardly probable
that there will be any spread.
The patient is said to be on the
road to recovery.
The origin of the case is a mys-
terry. Some of the neighbors
state that a man visiting there
some weeks ago was sick. but the
mother of the child. denies that
the man was sick. DR.. Irion will
make every effort to trace the
case.
DR.. r. D. VOORHEES,, member of
the Lafayette Board of Health
went down Sunday to investigate,
and at a joint meeting of the town
and parish Boards of Health held

Which IS Years Old

The following placard over the
stuffed rattleSnake skin in The
Advertiser window has excited a
number of interesting discus
sions as to whether the snake
or the boy was Is years old:
Rattlesnake. Z feet long,
killed in woods near Bayou
Michaud, 3 miles from town,
by Oscar Ducharme,
Is years old.
One day last week the argu-
ment was hot and heavy among a
lot of boys, it being finally de-
cided that the snake was Is
years old. Another day several
men arrived at a split verdict.
Another time five ladies agreed
positively that it was a pretty
old snake. again a crowd of girls
declared it to be a positive fact
that the snake. no the boy, well,
one of them, anyhow, was Is
years old. And not less. than a
dozen times interested passers-
by stopped to ask which was Is
years old and was told. why it
is-the punctuation shows
exactly"
And a whole lot of people had
no trouble in telling which was
Is years Old-evidently. for they
neither discussed the matter nor
asked questions. but went their
way with the remark. that the
snake was pretty big.
