The expression Hes brick" is
traced back to Lycurgus, King Of
Sparta. The king was conducting an
ambassador from Epirus through his
kingdom. The envoy was much
amazed to find that the cities were
very poorly supplied with walls of
defense. He remarked to the king:
"Sire, have now visited most of
the towns, but find no walls built
for their defense. Why is this?" "In-
deed" replied the king, thou canst
not have looked carefully. Come with
me tomorrow, and will show you
the walls of Sparta" Accordingly on
the following morning the king had
his army. drawn up in battle array,
and pointing proudly to the serried
host said: "There thou beholdest
the walls of Sparta, and every man a

Over Blouse With Girdle.

Each new variation of the over
blouse seems bit more attractive
than the last, and here is one which

sonable materials. In the illustra-
tion 1t is made of marquisette in one
of the beautiful new apricot shades
and is trimmed with applique and
with velvet, but while thin woods of
the sort are greatly in vogue and
there are great many light weight
silks to be worn throughout the
warm weather, there are also innum-
cradle materials that can be made in
this way and which are exceedingly
charming and attractive in color and
in design. Again, the inner edges
of the waist are straight, and it con-
sequently can be made from bordered
material with singular success. The
postillion back is a feature of the
season, and it gives a smart touch
whenever becoming, but it is not obli-
gatory, and the plain girdle can be
made the finish If found more satis-
factory. Beneath the waist can be
worn any guimpe that may be liked,
and one of it's many advantages is to
be found in the fact that it is suited
both to indoor occasions and to the
street.

portions that are pleated at the shoul-

Securing Conviction.

This story comes to The Church
Standard from an English cores
pondent: A barrister, accustomed to
practice in criminal courts, made
sneering remarks concerning preach
ers. "lf," said he, 81 were to ad-
dress a jury in the average way you
clergymen do, l should never get a
conviction" The elderly clergyman
to whom he spoke, replied. II you
had to address the same jury 104
times year, and your object was not
to get them to give a verdict against
some other person-which they might
be willing to do-but to induce them
to convict themselves, doubt if you
could do any better than we do"
Silence on the part of the barrister.

Snow White.

While this is by no means a white
season, as many of its predecessors
have been called. the white gown
and the all-white toilet are in strong
evidence among the most fashionable
sets. But the white gown with col
ored accessories, such as a hat. para
sol. girdle and often coat and scarf
or run. is more prominent. Rose
shades. khaki color and the golden
browns and soft dull blues are popu-
lar tones for such combinations.

to afternoon and to morning wear.
All the many and attractive wash
able materials are in every way ap-
propriate for immediate wear while a
little later, or even for travelling or
the mountains at the present time,
such materials as taffeta, light weight
flannel and the like would make up
most attractively and satisfactorily.
The chemisette being separate, can
be of any contrasting material that
may be liked or several can be made
to wear with one waist, so providing
change without difficulty.
The blouse is made with fronts and
back. The back is tucked for its en-
tire length and there is a trimming
band that finishes the neck and front
edges, the extensions on which con-
ceal the shoulder seams and combine
with the box pleats in the sleeves to
give the long line so necessary to
correct style. Whether the sleeves
are long or short they are laid in box
pleats at their lower edges and are
finished with straight cuffs. The
pointed belt is held by two large but
tons.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three and one
half yards twenty-seyen or thirty
two or two and one-eighth yards for
ty-four inches wide with three-quar-

CAPTAIN BOYLE DROWNED
BY FALL FROM STEAMER
Fell on the Bellies Wheel
While Steamer Was in

FAD WALKED FROM THE CABIN
TO REAR OF THE BOAT AND
FELL FROM HURRICANE DECK
THE BODY HAS NOT YET BEEN

Capt John NJ. Boyle. master Of the
river steamer Belle, plying between
Pensacola and Vernon, was drowned
in ChOctawhatchee river last Thurs
day night at O'Clock, when he fell
from the second deck of the steamer
upon the rapidly revolving wheel, ard
was either instantly killed or else
so badly injured that he could not
swim.
The news of the drowning was
brought here yesterday morning by
Davis of the Vernon, which is owned
by the same parties as the Belle, and
which followed the latter named yes
sci up the ChOctawhatchee last week
Scene of Tragedy.
The Belle sailed from Pensacola
last Thursday morning at daylight on
her weekly run to Vernon, and had a
large cargo of freight. At o'clock
that night she had reached a point
of what is known as Rocky Cut.
forty miles from the mouth of the
river 1t was just after the supper
hour. and Capt BOYLE, leaving one
of the deck hands in charge OF the
wheel. walked aft on the upper deck
He had been gone only few mo-
ments when the men on board heard
a CRY. and, a moment later there was
a slight shock as though the wheel
had struck something. II is therefore
believed that he lost his balance and
fell into the wheel, which was re-
volving very fast.
Futile Rescue Work.
The steamer was stopped imme'
diateIy and backed TO the point
where she was when the captain fell

continued into the following day, but
the body was not found. and the

Parish Bros. the owners, were notl-
fed. and the search was then re
newed. Although asweekS had ELAPSED

is very probable that it has been
carried far down the river by the
swift current.

| board, Aldermen Jas. McHugh and w.
B. Wright and in accordance with
the usual custom those receiving the
highest number of votes, where there
was opposition, were declared elect

The count showed that all Demo-
cratic nominees had been elected to
office over Republicans, Socialists
and Independents, as was expected
The Opposition.
The greatest interest displayed was
in the candidacy of the two Republ-
can candidates, Mesrs. Bingham and
StearnS The former lacked 2O3
votes of having as many as the low
est of his opponents, while the lat
ter lacked III votes of receiving as
many ballots as his opponent. The
Socialists polled a small vote for each
of their candidates.
One feature of the election. which
was commented upon yesterday gen
orally. was the small number of col
Ored voters to participate ia the cleo
ton. 1t was estimated tnat there are
several hundred negroes in the city

teen voted in the four precincts.

largest number. polling 906, while
/ Fire Chief Bicker was next with S92
votes. Mayor Bliss received total
of S29 and Comptroller Morgan S2i.
