Yukon Pacific exposition at Seattle,
one of the largest crowds ever seen In

Nearly the whole city has been re-

Sasnes still hold their place in
popular favor and supply the touch
of color thought necessary in a most
satisfactory way.
There is a fancy this summer for
vividly colored satin drawn under
and through laces and breaking out
in pesky little bows or punches of
grapes made of the satin.
Pierced embroidery, Familiarity
known as eyelet work, portrayed in
bold, striking patterns, is detail
that promises to create great en-
thusiasm this summer.
There is no more charming fabric
for evening gowns than chiffon. 1t
Is a material of tremendous possi-
bilities.
Softly draped overslxirts are a
feature of most evening dresses, ex-
cept those of the distinctly lingerie
type.
Among the most fashionable
shades are the Amethyst, Violet,
Lilac and Heliotrope.
Satin ribbon, either plain or
adorned with blurred pompadour
flowers, is considered smart.
Touches of metallic trimming are
seen even on muslin evening frocks.
This summer there is a fad for
evening gowns of chiffon of con-
trasting and yet toning colors.
Button shoes are more popular
than laced ones.

the London correspondent for the
Musical Leader. "Since then the cloud
has spread so rapidly that at the
present time the Wagner music drama
has practically been obliged to yield
the field and retire before the encroach-
ments of the Italian and French school
in America and England. The policy
of the Manhattan Opera house has
been frankly Wagnerian from the
start; elimination of Wagnerian works
has commenced at the Metropolitani
Henry Russell has decided to boycott
the German music drama from his
new stage in Boston, and the present
Covent garden season is practically
dominated by the Italian and French
repertory. There have been rumors OF
a Lohengrin performance with Dali
mores in the title role, but it is ex-
tremely doubtful if even the early

rabid anti Wagnerians admit to be

EVERY VOTE IN
zAPATA COUNTY,
TEXAS, FOR TAFT
Curious Election Result Unprec-
edented in History of
. American Politics.

WASHINGTON, Jan. ia curious
and interesting fact is disclosed by an
analysis of the returns of the recent
presidential election. 1t is that one
county of the United States-Zapata
county, Texas-cast it's vote unani-
mously for the electors of William II.
Taft, the Republican candidate. This
facts was stated recently to Franklin
X. Lane, one of the Interstate Com
merce Commissioners, and he took oc-
casion to investigate the matter.
In substantiation of the statement he
is in receipt of a certificate of wv. r.
Dayie, Secretary of State of Texas. The
certificate, duly signed and officially
sealed, shows that Judge Taft's elecS
tors received every vote. cast in the
county. No votes were recorded for the
electors of any other candidate for the
presidency or vice-presidency.
Zapata<county contains less than 1900
inhabitants, and it cast it's 42S votes
solidly for the Taft and Sherman cleo
tors.
Careful examination fails to disclose
a similar cast In the history of Ameri-
can political elections.
