THURSDAY, APRIL f, 1907.

There are eighty witnesses on the
 list of those who will be examined
 by the military committee of the senate Investigating the Brownsville affair. Others will of course be added and 1t looks as if the commit te would be in Washington all sum- mer. Some time during the hot sea- son the entire committee will go in a body to examine the spot where the shooting up occurred and If pos sible to elucidate the mass of contra dictory and mystifying testimony that has thus far been produced. It is said that the committee has now de- cided to carry on the examination in relays. That is several of the sena- tors will remain in Washington and have charge of the case while others go to their homes to attend to private business and erect any political fences that may have fallen down during the session. By taking turn about this way every man will have 3 chance to escape to his home for } little while without interruption of he proceedings.

A Novel Way of ChoosIno Partner

A Novel Way of Choosing Partners.
 The most troublesome feature of most parties is the choosing of part ners for games. This grows especial ly hard when the party celebrates some special occasion, such as Val. entine's day.
 At last year affair each lady was presented with a small mounted pic. ture of the one-cent size now so easily obtainable. These pictures were all different, but each referred in some way to love. No two subjects were the same. To each of the gentlemen was given the same picture, also mounted. that some one of the ladies possessed. with the exception that his had been cut up into five or six irregular pieces, and then pasted in any position on the card, which made 1t hard to discern just what its sub ject was. Of course, the gentlemen were supposed to search for the cards identical with their own, and to claim the lady holding them as their part ners. This searching created a great deal of laughter and discussion, and broke the ice.

The situation has been certainly improved by the recent upheaval. for the financial atmosphere has been partially clarified and we are now in no danger of a severe panic, as threatened a few weeks ago. says Banker Clews. We can hencefor- ward safely look for at least partial relief in the money market. Secre- tary Cortelyou's policy is now def- nitely known to be that of counter acting to the full limits of his power the absorption of funds by the treas UT This is encouraging, and his ac- tion in regard to the government de- posits and his intentions in regard to the purchase of As have done much towards restoration of confluence in financial circles. The unnatural re- lations beteen the government and the money market are a matter of common knowledge, and so long as these exist there is no course left but that of cointeracting bad ten dencies as far as possible. even by ar- tificial methods which are not entire ly free from objection. Another source of relief to the money market should be the recent drastic liquida- tion. Borrowings on an enormous scale by great specuIators will. no doubt, temporarily cease: while cur rency should soon begin to return from the interior. After the middle of April-if not sooner-we may ex- pect rising bank averages and a ces- sation of the extreme rates for money which have been experienced during the last six months.

 Owners of automobiles are hoping eventually for the passage of a fed eral measure, the provisions of which will validate a government license that will hold good in all states. The present state of affairs, which re- quires a tourist to obtain a license in each of the states through which he passes, is a nuisance and not at all fair. It contributes to needless delays and extortion and is detri- ment to the best interests of the gen eral public.-Ansonia Sentinel.

Entire Suit of Velvet.

A very attractive velvet suit was seen recently. It was of black shad. ow-checked velvet, having a high stock and tucked yoke of unlined black chiffon. This was an empire robe on modified lines. A band of jet spangles outlined the yoke and meeting in the center front the bands joined and formed a panel that ran down and overlapped long. narrow panel of similar jet that was the only decoration of the skirt. this latter ex. tending from the waist line to the hem of the skirt. Jet also went around the bottom of the bodice slanting up the center back to allow empire finish at the back. The sleeve. had epaulets of velvet GOV. cred with jet and under these were the sleeve proper. They were tucked putfs of black chiffon finished at the bottom with a lire of jet

THE WEEKEND BOX.
Travelling Necessity for the Woman
 of Fashion.

The weekend box is quite as much
 a part of the fashionable woman's
 wardrobe as her jewel case or any other accessory, says the New York Tribune. for since it has become the thing to go out of town from Satur. day until Monday it is of prime i'm portance that milady's luggage should be easily handled and at the same time combine all of the comforts pos sible consistent with compactness. The black enameled leather English weekend box Is practically a small trunk, but wonderfully light and cas- fly carried by maid or groom, and can be slowed away in the automobile or railway carriage with little or no dis comfort to its owner. It Is lined with plaid cloth and is provided with a couple of trays, so that the skirts and waists may be kept separately and a place found for underclothing, shoes, slippers and other necessaries. Of course, the toilet articles have their own bag, preferably a Glad stone. and the combination of these two travelling companions makes the stay over Sunday a thoroughly con- fortable one for even the woman who expects to crowd into her brief visit a dance. a dinner party, game of tennis or meet of the hounds, and who will require several changes of clothes in consequence.

When President Roosevelt was
 awarded the Nobel peace prize of $40,000 last year, instead of ac- cepting it for his own use he an-
 nounced that he would give 1t tow ard the establishment of a national
 bureau of industrial peace in which
 the representative of labor and cap

 ganization for the adjustment Of
 their differences and for the purpose
 of effecting better relation and un

 tees of the organization, which is au-
 thorized by a special act of congress, met in Washington this week for the purpose of perfecting the organiza- tion. While the amount now in hand is but $40,00O. it is the expec- tation that other contributions from various sources will be made and these are being solicited. Annual conferences in Washington have been arranged for in which representatives of labor and capital will take part and arrangements are being made for the publication of the results of the The president Is. of course interested in the work and that it has useful future in spite of the skepticism of those who be- lieye that it is chimerical and uto- plan.
