er of this was tied with silver braid
tasseled with silver, and it is needless
to say that it was arranged in
group Of curls.
Every head is running over with
curls" nowadays; and what differ
ence there is in the quality of these
luxuries may be realized from the fact
that they range in price from a few
cents to dollars.
With the advance of spring the
smart tailor-made costume claims
more and more of our interest and at
tention. Many of the best designs are
made up with charming little boleros
and coates, heavily braided, in con-
junction with plain skirts. The one
shown in our illustration is made of
warm nut brown cloth of very fine
quality. The skirt fits closely round
the hips, it's sole trimming being
stitched bands of the same cloth ar
ranged in long loops, which have a
most graceful effect in giving length
to the wearer. The coatee has the
quaintest little tails at the back and
is cut up at the sides, showing the
waist-belt of black satin. The whole
surface of the coatee and sleeves is
thickly braided in fine black braid,
while broader bands of braid are
placed over the shoulders, and hold
the fullness of the sleeve with the
widening effect which is SO popular
for the moment. The coatee fastens
single-breasted, with small silver but
tons, and the tiny roll collar and
points turned back at the waist are of
pale turquoise blue velvet, which has
delightful effect on the brown cloth
and black braid. The smartness of
the costume is greatly enhanced by
the high stock of black satin to
match the waist-belt. The hat is of
nut brown straw, both crown and
edge being bound with black satin,
while at the side wave three curly
quilts of pale turquoise tint, held
by brooch of pierced oxydized sill

WINNING a Raise.

Warden B. F. Bridges of the state
prison had as guests the other day
an English gentleman of title and his
Irish valet who are touring in this
country. They were taken through
every department of the prison, and
showed especial interest in the death
chamber, where murderers are put to
death in the electric chair. While tar
rying in this room the nobleman re-
marked, with a wise wink to Warden
Bridges: pat, if the chair had its
dues where would you be-"
Without a trace of a smile Pat
quickly replied: "The wardin and me
wud be looking at the chair alone"
Warden Bridges turned to hide
smile, and after silence of about a min
ute the nobleman asked the privilege
of lighting a cigar, after which he
wheeled toward Pat and said: Your
wages are raised pound and sixpence
a month" Boston Herald.

JAMESTOWN WARPATH TROUBLE
South Carolina Guard Officer Corrects
Some Erroneous Statements.

COLUMBIA, S. c., July Cool. Henry T.
Thompson. commanding the I'd South Caro-
lima Regiment at the jamestown exposition
returned to Columbia today with his regI-
ment and made a statement concerning the
trouble on the War Path" on the night Of
July 3, In which he says that the reports
sent out from Norfolk regarding that affair
were in some particulars incorrect. He de-
clares that his regiment not only did not
throw off all discipline but that he had at
all times during the trip complete and
absolute control of his men.
ION the night in question:" he says,
about 200 soldiers representing practically
all the other commands in camp, marched
into our camp singing boisterously, and
endeavored to entice some of our men away
with them When 1 heard them l promptly
ordered them Off and they obeyed. Shortly
afterward l saw the same crow on the mid
way, and they had some half dozen of our
men with them. These l ordered to return
to camp, which they did at once.
When the row was precipitated very
soon afterward, there were crowds Of our
men standing around with the members Of
other regiments, seeing the fun, as they
expressed 1t. One of these, McElveen, Of
the I'd South Carolina who was near the
front of the crowd. was arrested as one
of the ringleaders, but at the hearing the
next day he was released. as the evidence
showed most conclusively that he was SIM
ply looking on, and that he was arrested
under a misrepresentation as ne was abso-
lutely without fault either in bringing on
the difficulty or in keeping 1t up"

pany having the concession for the con-

construction of a submarine tunnel under
the straits to the American continent, the
resolution of the council Of ministers for
which has just been ratified by the car,
Is an American corporation. 1t was or
ganized in New Jersey last October for
the purpose of constructing this railway.
1t Is announced that the railway will be
$3.50 miles long. exclusive of 5000 miles
Tor proposed branches. The actual tunnel
under Boring straits from Northeast
cape to Cooks Inlet in Alaska would be
miles in length. The total cost of the
project is estimated at about $500 100000
The scheme was originally put forward
by M. Loicq de Lobel on behalf Of an
American syndicate, with which a man
named Addicks is said to be connected.
Doubts are expressed here In view of the
fact that the British government and
people opposed so bitterly the recent agi-
tatlon for tunnel under the channel be-
tween France and England as to whether
the tunnel to Alaska. The tunnel under
the channel from France to England last
spring failed to meet with popular ap-
prevail because the military strategists of
England and France were opposed to it.
though 1t was regarded at the time as a
project more feasible from the point of
view of the engineer and the financier
than the tunnel now proposed under Ber-
ing strait.

character will become known only through
the action of the department in the matter.
Reports in circulation at the department as
sert that Mrs. Tucker employed private de-
tectives to ascertain the truth regarding
her husbands alleged detection. but they
were unable to obtain any information of
an accurate character which could be used
in legal proceedings against Col. Tucker.
The latter has denied most emphatically
that he had acted improperly, insisting that
he had done nothing to be ashamed of, and
that there was no reason for departmental
interference in what after all was family
affair.
On the other hand, Mrs. Tucker insists, it
is said, that her husbands conduct was rep
rehensble and that he is amenable to trial
by court -martal on the general charge of
conduct unbecoming an officer and gen.
tleman.
The officials of the War Department are
disinclned to interfere in what is regarded
by many as a family quarrel if it can be
avoided and will not institute court-martial
proceedings against the officer unless the
evidence adduced by the investigation es-
tablishes prima facie case.
