ker city, and the members of the Gridiron
Club of Washington, being the first time
these two clubs have ever met under such
conditions. Mr.. Moore has been a member
of the former organization for number of
years, and has held every office In 1t, in
GLIDING club laureate, and he has attended
a number of the Gridiron's functions
Aside from the bringing together Of the
two dining clubs Mr.. Moore's dinner is
planned for purpose. He hopes to stimu-
with particular relation to the proposed
th:rty-five foot channel. Representative

the rivers and harbOrs committee of the
House, will be the guest of honor, and In
vitations have been sent to the congression-

RAILROAD INCUBATING.
Attorney General Bonaparte Discusses
the Coal Carrying Companies.

BALTIMORE, Nd. February 23.-Attor-

terview spoke of the talked-of action
against the coal-carrying roads for alleged
discrimination and to the objections to the
enforcement of the eight-hour law by con-
tractors doing government work.
1T Is not yet decided" he said, what, IL
any. action shall be taken against the rail-
roads as a result of the interstate commerce
commissions investigation. Assistant At

about suit skirts-all. saving the most
elaborate, are walking lengths. and as
plated patterns are SO much more becom-
ing than plain, this style predominates.
No fullness Is allowed over the hips, and
II the material is to be laid In tucks or box
plaits these must all be cut away UNDER
meath. Below the knees, however, a short
skirt must have a decided flare, and this,
Of course. depends largely upon the fit and
hang of the petticoat. With the new
frocks 1t Is still found advisable to have
the skirt lining separate from the dress,
for 1t Is always easier to have a silk skirt
fitted with plain yoke than 1t is to have
a new lining made each time that the
old one gives out. A single cloth skirt will
outwear many a silk one.
Braid and straps formed of stitched
bands of silk and plain cloth are seen to
some extent on the new gowns, and fancy
buttons also used sparingly, in the
trimming of silk or mohair jacket. When
the coat is trimmed, the skirt generally
carries out the design, though many skirts
being comparatively plain, depend solely
upon the braiding or strapping for style.
black taffeta silk costume for the early
spring is bound to prove of inestimable
service, as 1t will stand an immense amount

should be made in two pieces, for no
separate waist looks quite appropriate with
a black S., coat and skirt

Arts Of the Bombmaker,

From The Chicago News.
So expert are bombmakers nowadays
that an apparently harmless letter may
kill any person who tries to open it. A
piece Of cardboard is cut to a size which.
when folded over, will fit into an ordinary
envelope. The four corners Of this are slit
into narrow strips illuminate of mercury
Is spread over three of the Sits end the
sheet is folded and fastened together Pro-
jecting from each side Of the folded sheet
is little metal strip, or detonator, glued
to the cardboard in such a manner that the
envelope cannot be opened without striking
one of them. Upon meeting this slight re-
sistance the hand moving the paper-cutter
instinctively pushes harder, and the re-
suit is an explosion that either kills or
mains.
The easiest bomb to construct is set in
operation by simply turning it upside
down. 1t Is usually a good-sized cracker
box, lined with paper and half filled with
mixture Of chlorate Of potassium and
ordinary sugar. Into this bottle of a
powerful acid is introduced. The remainder
Of the space in the box is filled with scraps
Of metal. Then the lid Is soldered on.
All that Is then necessary is to place the
box upside down at the spot In which 1t Is
to explode. The acid eats quickly through
the cork of the bottle and comes In contact
with the chlorate Of potassium. AS a re-
suit of the chemical combination which
takes place there is terrific explosion.

MORE TROUBLE IN RUSSIA.
Very Small Prospect of Peace in the
New Duma.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG, February o3-It Is
now possible to get fairly clear idea of
the composition of the new duma, and 1t
must be said that the prospects Of politi-
cal tranquility In Russia are far from
bright. The old duma was dispersed be-
cause 1t persisted in demanding control Of
the administration instead Of combining it.
self to being a junior branch of limited
legislature. The new duma is coming
back with a renewed demand for control
The constitutional democratic party will
be the progressive center and it cannot and
does not want to get away from the issue
of a government controlled by the duma
No consideration of party tactics will in
duce them to try blind with the present
regime, such scheme for instance as two
or three portfolios and consultative voice
In the selection of subjects for legislation.
Their main principle will outweigh all con
sderations of tactics.
After all their manifestoes, mutinies and
murders, the Russian people are back
again with their old parliamentary weapon
to see If they can reduce the czar to a
constitutional ruler Who will take his
guidance from the duma. AS beseging
army which cannot reduce a fort by as
sault has to try to starve 1t out, SO the
duma will seek to starve out the govern
ment garrison by Withholding money sup
plies.

Whale Nets.
rom Popular Science SiftiDgs.


At Wangamumu bay, on the northeast
coast Of New Zealand, whales are caught
in big steel nets. The nets are made of
three-Quarter-inch wire rope in six-feet
mesh. and have barrel buoys along the
edges to hold them close to the surface. A
whale cruising along the shore strikes the
net and gets his head through a mesh, and
instead Of backing out he rushes forward
and entangles himself in the wire ropes
He may carry the net away from Its an
chorage with the momentum of his rush,
but the buoys impede him, and instead Of
heading out to sea and taking the net with
him the whale thrashes about furiously and
soon gets the wire ropes round about his
fins and fiukes. The animal thrashes
around until worn out, then the boats of the
fishermen creep in upon him and the har-
poon and lance are used. When the whalers
give chase in the old-fashioned way now
adays power launches are used instead Of
rowboats. At Wangamumu al the parts
of the whale are utilized, the bones and
refuse being converted into fertilizers.

LAME BACK.
EASTER FRoCKs.
Most Women Sew and Shop in the
Six Weeks Before Easter.


AS Easter is so unusually early this year
there is not the same necessity of start
ing on the spring outfit the very day that
Lent commences as when that season drags
on we'll toward the end of April. Neverthe-
less the woman who does not go south will
have more spare time-if there is any such
thing in a large city-than she will have
later on, so that it is really advisable for
one so situated to get the entire spring
and possibly the summer outfit under way
during the six weeks which are more or
less free from social engagements. A
spring suit, hat and a smart afternoon
dress for weddings and luncheons WILL OF
course necessarily be on hand by the pc
ginning of Easter week, and incidentally
the coming months will be found infinitely
more enjoyable If the clothes problem mas
not to be grappled with.
Already there are offered many exceed
inely attractive coat and skirt costumes in
lieht-weight cloth, and while these are
really for the southern trade, they fore
shadow the styles that are to be popular
for the entire spring The tailors, TOO, are
showing all the new models that are to be
worn two mouths from now. and. OF course,
the materials and cOlors are also pretty
well decided upon already: Rougn cioths
rather than the plain finished GOODS are
stylish. and mixtures, whether In stripes,
maids or checks. are already in decided
favor. Both long and short jackets will be
used next season. that is to say, the three
quarter coats that come just a rev inenes
below the hips or half way to the Knees
This style Of coat is the favorite for
travelling or walking costume. while the
short coats are somewhat elaborate and N
tended for rather "dressier wear, IN silks sSs
or yelling. for example, short jackets VIII
ba in the majority, and the serges, cheviots
and homespuns will be seen in the swell
taiIor-made coats. There is noticeable
return to favor of the long sleeves an ,'
ale 10
have regular coat sleeves, while all morn
ing costumes will possess the same sensi-
BILE long models.
There is as yet nothing noticeably new
