New York, May 21.--There are coats
and wraps of all sorts. and the social
and business life of women is grow.
ing so complex that as with all other
garments more than one is needed
the business jacket. the rain day long
coat, the afternoon and evening wraps
and those for odd occasions. Indeed
it is not easy to get along with much
fewer than four.
For general utility wear and gen
eral service, and first in popular favor
there is the pongee coat and although
too light for present wear, it is seer
in the plainest creations as well as
the most elaborate arrangement, and
is worn in all places and at all times
A number were Sshown by a prom
inent firm the other day-imported ar
ticles that showed their French cut
and unusual style of trimmings ant
those original touches that belong
only to the Partisan maker.
For business, travelling or street
wear there was an excellent model, Sc
yerely tailored, with the new adjust
ment of seams, moderated, with onl,
collar facing of a contrasting color.
The Directorie or semi-Directoire
which has hip seams, big pockets, Di
rectoire collar and the three regula
little shoulder capes, is frequentl,
seen.
There are, too, jaunty short coat
which also show the Director

with self-trappings and buttons.

The trimming was furnished by a
cording of silk, touch of gold en-
broidery and silk covered buttons.
A second pongee cat showed the
Empire waistline, the upper portion
being a square bib yoke embroidered
in self-color. The Empire coat skirts
came below the big line, and the
broad cuffs and collar in black gave
the distinctive Empire finish.

ornaments are made.
One of the latest combinations is a
shepherds plaid and plain cloth
coat. The skirt is one of the new
side plated models plain in the back
and front, with band about the foot
of the plain material. The coat is
trimmed with collar, revers, vest and
cuffs of the plaid and buttons that

brighter color are used.
A combination that would do well
for carriage use but is rather start

black satin.
Most of the coats show a waistcoat
of some sort, which may serve the
purpose of connecting skirt and waist
or merely for ornament, or the neces

i Capes of every kind and fashion, the

more and more seen.
The semi-military coat is charming
for the youthful women. They have
the regular standing military looking

In the delicate pastel shades o.
chiffon broadcloth are capes that ar;
popular and most serviceable for wea

our country, Mr. Whitman has gained
an appreciation of human nature
which few people possess. he spoke
particularly of the boys who are under
his care in the John Worthington

which these lads lead, we could not
help but be thankful that we have our
homes and our liberty. although we
could plainly see the advantages which
misguided youths enjoy under the in
fuences Of noble men. His talk made

Beating Bryan.

Those organs of "the interests which
find it inexpedient to assail President
Roosevelt, have redoubled their de-
nunciations of Mr., Bryan With Re-
publican constituencies, they dare not
attack Mr.. Roosevelt directly, lest they
should find themselves without readers
or patronage, but they .eel that they
may attain the desired end by abusing
Bryan for advocating policies that
Roosevelt has made odious to their
masters.
So the plutocratic pack is in full cry
at the heels of B-yan. Unfortunately
for "the interests the American people
are quite well aware that the advocacy
of principle by Bryan is nCt more
vicious than the advocacy of tie same
principle by Roosevelt. If Bryan is to
be condemned, Roosevelt car not be
ignored or extolled. The Republican
organs that hate Organism can not
disc,edit Bryan without diserediting
Roosevelt. And with the organs of
'the interests" it is their design and
purpose to kill two birds with one stone
to lay Roosevelt and Bryan low as
twin evils.
The republican organs, however,
that are intent upon beating Bryan
without diserediting Roosevelt are in a
pretty pickle. Outside of MIR. Bryan
himself. Roosevelt has done more than
any living American to popularize Mr..
Bryan and his policies. tie has made
MIR. Bryan his logical successor. There
is 70 man in the republican party So
closely Unidentified with the policies oI
the Roosevelt administration as is MIR.
Bryan. Serving as their author and
champion when he republican party
was committed to the policy of "let
well enough alone" MIR. Bryan
appeals to the popular Imagination as
the man to Gerry ont the work that MIR.
Roosevelt has began.
The only way the republican party
may hope to defeat Bryan is to repu-
diate Roosevelt and diScredit him in
the eyes of the American people. II
Roosevelt may be a scape- goat of re-
publican seryitude to the trusts aud the
ssbusineSs interests" If upon his head
the responsibility for the panic may
be placed, if the American people may
be convinced what successful dis
honesty and criminal wealth should be
unmolested, then Bryan may be beaten.

ADDRESS OF JOHN L. WHITMAN.

There is a man who was not over
advertised" was the remark heard at
the close of the Y NJ c. A. Sunday af-
ternoon meeting, when the address of
John l.. Whitman, superintendent of
the House of Correction of Chicago was
being discussed. The gymnasium had
been the scene of a gathering of nearly
three hundred men, and during the
address which lasted about one hour,
the interest in what the speaker was
saying never Jagged.
K was less story of the personal ex-
perience of the speaker in almost a
score of years association with the Grim
inal classes, and more of an analytical
Interpretation of the spirit of the penal
laws, and the natural condition of the
mental attitude of the man when he
found himself in the meshes of the law,
and compelled through it to atone for
lapses from the path wherein lies honor
and good citizenship.
That the spirit of the law had been
overlooked in the application OF its
penalties was not TO be charged to the
lawmaker, but to combination of cir
cumstances, brought about by a mis-
conception of the criminal himself
Probably the most unfortunate feature
is the conviction in the mind Of the n an
when first arrested, that law is only an
other word for revenge, and little hope
can be entertained that its application
will be either reformatory to the indi-
vidual or beneficial to society until this
idea has been dislodged, and the sub
| ject made receptive for the profit of the
| spirit, as well as the letter of the law,
Mr. Whitman decried the use of force
as the only method by which the Grim

fully justifying his position The high
school orchestra was highly compli-
mented for its performance, while the
quartette music came in for pro-

contribution of f. M. James proved a
desirable feature, the entire service be-
ing one of great interest and profit.

QUALITIES OF GREAT POETS.
Byron and Wordsworth Had One
Thing in Common.

Byron and Wordsworth have this at
with righteous indignation at social
and moral wrongs. Each was a demo-
crat before democracy, eager to admit
the people to the heritage from which
they had been shut out by the selfish
ness of class interests and the apathy
of industrial conditions. But while
Wordsworth's temperate zeal took the
gradual and the longer way of basic
reconstruction of social practice, build
ing it up afresh on arguments tested
by experience, and deeming no record
too trivial to serve the architects de-
sign, Byron's more ardent mood burned
for instant reform, and would not
brook the restraints which the tao
tician imposes on the fighter. THE
moment he reflects he is a child" was
Goethe's verdict on Byron, who
though he was moved by the same i'm
pulse as Wordsworth, and obeyed the
same order of revolt, followed through
out his short life the path of action,
not OF reflection. His poetry carries
us forward, in the sense of his own
dying cry, Forward, forward, follow
me-" 1t exhibits, as Swinburne tells
US, splendid and imperishable ex-
cellence of sincerity and strength. =
He believed intensely in his cause

The Democratic Platform

During his speech on political issues
John Sharp Williams served notice that
the democratic party is going to insist
on legislation to accomplish the follow
ing obje t.:
The publication of the names and
postoffices of all persons contributing
to campaign funds; five days notice
to the opposite party before writ OF
injunction involving property rights
can be sued out; the right of any one
charged with contempt of court com
mitted outside the view of the court to
be tried before a neutral Judge; the
election of United States senators by
the people; the enforcement of col
lections under the income tax laws;
investigation If the so-called white pa
per trust; restraint of er-capitaliza-
ton of combinations; amendment of
the interstate commerce act so as to
further do away with destructive
methods of crushing competition.
Further, he said, he earnestly hoped
the republicans would not prevent the
enactment of laws to admit free of
duty all ship construction materials; to
remove duties from goods carried in
Uuited States bottoms between the
United States and its iusular posses
sions; to reconvene the joint high COM
mission for the purpose of furthering
reciprocity between the United States
and Canada; to put into operation the
terms of President McKinley's pro-
posed reciprocity between this country
and France, and a minimum tariff
schedule; to admit coal free of duty;
to reduce to 100 per cent any duty ex-
cessive of that; to so reduce the duties
on hides as to cut by one-half the
present profits on certain leather goods
to reduce the duty on watches to Is
per cent; to admit free of duty the
products of those American nations
whose ports admit free our bread
stuffs, other necessities of life, struc-
tural materials. implements, etc.; to
establish the independence of the Phil.
ippines; to create free trade between
the United States and the Philippines.

position on the state delegation, MIR.
