ICE FAMINE BEGUN
IN NEW YORK BY
DRIVERS STRIKE
Employees Dissatisfied
With Two Increases
in Pay.
Say They Have to Work
Extra for Larger
Wage.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-New York is
facing a midsummer ice famine, with all
its attendant suffering. Today the drivers
OF the American Ice Company refused
10 go to work. and tied up every wagon
of the company.
Two thousand men are affected by
the strike. which was called as a result
OF the refusal Of the company 10 recog-
nize the business agents Of the Ice
Wagon Drivers Union. The men want
certain grievances corrected. Central
Manager Brewer has refused 10 treat
with the business agents, and the strike
was accordingly called.
Two increases in wages have been
granted the drivers in as many months
by the company. which has feared a
general strike. The drivers complain
that with the increased wages they have
been forced TO work extra hours. often
they are on duty. they say, from 3
a. m. until 1870 at night
Much suffering was caused at the very
start of the strike. Hotels, restaurants,
grOCers, and householders were alike
caught Unprepared. while a boiling hot
day made the need Of Ice especially
noticeable. II is feared a strike of even
a few days. while the present hot wave
holds the city, will cause untold suffer
ing, and perhaps cost many lives.
Considering that the strike Of city
garbage cart drivers has filed many
streets with garbage and many quarters
Of the city are filthy, the drivers think
the time for a strike OppOrtune, and they
ere confident Of winning all their de-
mands.

HIDDEN DANGERS.

Uric acid is a deadly poison that is produced In the human body. and 1t ls the duty of the kidneys to collect this poison from the blood, and to pass it safely out of the system, to- gether with all waste water.
 It is the presence in the body of en excess of uric acid that causes so much pain and suffering, and n many of the aches that are commonly attributed to rheumatism.
 The kidneys are bean-shaped or gans, composed of masses of little tubes. all of which pour their secre- lions into a main channel that leads b the bladder. In this way the kid neys pass of more than an ounce of poison every day when In health. But it does not take much to set the kidneys back. and when they get behind. they can not right themselves without help. The uric acid begins to clog the kidneys. causing that dull. heavy aching in the back. and sharp tvinges when stooping or lifting. It crystaliizes in the muscles and joints. and every turn or twist brings keen est torture. It attacks the nerves with neuralgia and sciatica. It brings headache. dizziness. languor, and dis orders of the urine.
 Try a good kidney medicine. if you have any of the above symptoms. There is nothing else So prompt and szective as Doan's Kidney Pills. and

FOR THE PLAIN SHIRT WAIST.
How Home.Made Article Can Be Given
 A Right Appearance.

Every woman recognizes the smart touch to be found in the we'll tailored shirt waist. but she does not always realize where the secret lies. The sleeves make the most troublesome parts of any waist. Yet the secret of making them in such way as to avoid the crude homemade appear ance, after all, is a simple one. The regulation shirt model is the only cor rect one for the plain waist, and it Is in the method of finishing that most of the trouble is found. The straight, narrow cuff is the accepted one, and it should always be cut with the long edge lengthwise on the material. Washable fabrics require to be inter- lined with one thickness of butchers linen. flannel and silk. with one thick. ness of tailor's canvas. The cuffs should be put together and finished at the lower edges and the ends, and supplied with the requisite button holes before being attached to the sleeve. The opening in the sleeve must next be finished with the regula- tion pointed lap on the upper side and with an underlap on the under. Then the sleeves should be gathered and joined to the cuff. all the stitching being done with the greatest care and precision.

WEIGHTIER MATTERS OF DRESS

If one is looking for a smart but simple costume the one here pic itured will offer suggestion which will be easily carried out. In some of the new geranium pink shades with desir- able contrast of color on revers and cuffs it would prove a costume of which any woman might feel proud.
 Pinafore bodices for grown-up wonl- en seem rather an absurd idea doesn't 1t? And yet it is an idea which finds favor in the sight of very many.
 On some of the new spring gowns one sees the genuine pinafore bodice and on others merely the shoulder straps which give a bodice a pinafore effect. One thing to be said in favor of this mode is that it is very prac- teal; it comes to us at a moment when renovations are attracting a great deal of our attention. and it en- ables us to make last years bodice lup-to-date at small expense.
 My personal opinion is that the pin lafore bodice is only suitable for quite young women and for girls; it has a cruel little way of making the woman of uncertain age look ridiculous.
 Another fashion-one of the latest inoyelties-which is suitable only for young and slender women. is the short coatee which just covers the waist line and which Is distinctly shorter iin front than at the back.
 Amongst the prominent colors which are 10 have the favor of the au- ithorities stand forth those many shades which have been known as -pickled cabbage.- and include dull purple. soft pink. and a sombre tone : of red These may be seen in all the new cloths and in voile. the popular trimmings for them being lace to match. which, candidly. don't like. while I regretfully realize that this will make no difference to its success in the world of dress. Other decora-

colored chip, with the crown literally smothered under a wealth of white wisteria, while in front some roses cluster and the bandeau is yelled with a softness of tulle.
 The three other hats are pretty and decidedly stylish, but not so expensive, giving one the liberty of choice at moderate outlay. The large chip hat in the upper left hand corner of the picture is wreathed around with blue hyacinths and tiny pink roses. The other chip hat in the lower right hand corner is another of the new smart shapes in rose pink chip, whose crown is covered with many loops of silken ribbon, while roses and their fresh green foliage are grouped together at one side. The last hat on the list is of burnt straw and trimmed simply with Sake blue ribbon, pink roses and brown tulle, but which make charm ing harmony of color.
 AS millinery accessories, colored lace veils are in demand. The most popular tones for these are mole grey, brown and blue. Blue of dark pea cock shade is tint much sought after in straw and also observable on some of the latest triumphs in artificial hor ticulture. I confess I have little re- gard for the peacock blue poppies, even when supplied with a crimson center, and I also admit the like ob. tains, and would seem to be sure of welcome.
 Besides the lace veils there are veils of plain net, trimmed with a narrow silken fringe, and veils of gradu- ated chenille spots. bordered with vel vet, and veils edged with killings, these last having made their first bid for favor last year. Other veils show designs of chenille on the edge, and others again are plainly bound with satin ribbon.

The array of millinery this season has been sufficient to tempt Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, and it has been Iapparent to the most indifferent ob- lserver that there is considerable diff ference in the present fashions from those of the preceding year.
 <. It must be frankly admitted that lthe mushroom shape reigns supreme Made in fine shiny straw it obtains lin every color, and the popular trim Innings are the encirclement of the Icrown by an upstanding ruche of rib bon tied into bow at one side; the towering of the crown with tulle, net, ,or lace gathered into beef-eater shape with the base bordered with a wreath lof flowers; the surrounding of the crown by tulle of three colors with a Igroup of flowers on either side or a group of wings.
 An exception to these rules is mushroom hat of white chip with marrow band of black velvet on the fD4lAl, llC CIOWu Wllu pdl6 blue ribbon intersected with a band lof coarse rush embroidered in pink roses. A very pretty idea this is, too, and quite new.
 Some of the smartest of the seasons styles are shown in our illustration The leghorn hat in the center is an exquisite creation, both as to real, downright loyeliness and as to price The glorious fox-tail feather encircles the hat and then droops down full and free to the nape of the neck. There are two full-blown pink roses clustered lat one side of the hat, while the brim lshows the lining, which is so much in favor this season.
 But what this hat possesses in the way of elegance the one above it to the right makes up in smartness of design and finish. It is of white or

Little Accessories.

The true elegan;e will always love the little accessories Of dress carried out in sheer materials; they are subtIy beautiful and can be works of art much the same way as gowns can achieve greatness For evening gowns some of the new shoulder draperies are bOrjered with artificial flowers, daintily ga-Ianded.
 In connection with fschu. lingerie hats in many instances are made to match many of these details. being fashioned of embroidered chiEcE and having the brim edged with lace, while the trimmings are of roses and ribbons. or flowers and tulle.
