Russian Blouse Model,

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
A particularly good Russian blouse
model in brown henrietta has q satin
girdle and fiat satin collar. For the
rest the only trimming is a wide band
Of the tucked material around the bot
tom OF the blouse skirt and the short
sleeves, and buttons with cord looms
down the front of the blouse.
A fourth of these modest frocks
shown was intended for mourning
wear. but would be equally pretty in
colors. OF black soft wool. it has a
sort of apron shaped tunic which points
up on the bodice and falls down at the
sides and is braided in a scrawiv de-
sign. The lower skirt is plain ana falls
softly and the bodice with sleeves in
one piece Is also plain except for the
braided puff
The open front OF the waist is flied
in with and the undersleeve is made OF
pleated black net 1t will be observed
that the sleeves Of all these little frocks
are in effect elbow sleeves, though they
are worn with long and short under
sleeves. and il seems as though the
plain long sleeve had fallen into dis
favor except for the severest Of gowns.
The elbow sleeve is barely out OF fash
ion before it is ushered in again. Is
this a tribute 10 its undoubted charm
and comfort or merely one of the mod
ish freaks for which it is impossible to
account?

Innings are so boned that corsets are

nicely. provided a piece OF smooth It's

These designs are very odd and quaint.

Keep the Powder Dry.

It is the fashion to decry and de- nounce those Americans who would keep the powder dry" when coming in contract. Automatically or otherwise with Japan. '"The lady doth protest too much methinks-" Everybo in Japan is insisting that a war between that country and ours is both absurd and impossible; but that is precisely what they said about the threatened war with Russia that came suddenly and proved costly and bloody.
 It was a clap of thunder from a serene sky-the assault on Port Arthur, that was the. unheralded beginning of one of the greatest anc one of the bravest wars of mankind. It is rather consistently asserted that Japan has no money to finance a big war; but how if she should begin to imagine that it would turn out a profitable enterprise We all know what an immense in- demnity she expected from Russia as the price of defeat and how the Presi- dent of the United States brought about peace without so great sacrifice on the part of the vanquished.
 If Japan is absolutely friendly, she cannot take offense if we take meas ures to protect ourselves even from a struggle they say is impossible. AS Oliver Cromwell said Trust in God but keep your powder dry" As for a Japanese alliance. it is simply ont of the question.-WashinEt PosA-ss

For twenty years John "Scotty" Gib- son has been one of Winsted's best known citizens. says the Waterbury Republican. Scotty. in his younger days had great athletic prowess and for term of years after first coming to Winsted was regarded as one of the cleverest association football players the game ever produced
 One feat of which Scotty boasts and in which he takes just pride. was his performance on the other side of the big pond: He was a member of the champion aggregation of Scotland when the international contest be- tween England and Scotland took place in 1888 Scotland lost to her rival but John Gibson was the man who scored the only goal for Scotland. He received official recognition from the queen of England. The match took place at Blackburn.

For number of years there was nc coroner for the town of Westerly. the appointee of the town council declining to qualify, the office being considered
 of no coRsequence since the coroner's jury plan was supplanted by the ap- spointment of medical examiners, who
 did the duty formerly covered by a coroner's jury. About two years ago a foreman at the New England Granite works was killed by the falling of a derrick, and it was considered advisa- ble to officially decide the responsibil- ity. It was then ascertained that there was no coroner for the town of West erly, and Everett A. Kingsley was ap- pointed coroner and held an inquest in that case.
 The coroner was not called upon to act since that time until the medical an inquest as to the circumstances of the death of Daniel Sullivan.
 Coroner Everett A. Kingsley, assist ed by Coroner Eugene Lincoln of Prov idence, representing the attorney gen. eral of Rhode Island, held the Daniel Sullivan inquest Friday afternoon in the town hall, the inquiry being secret and only one witness being before the coroner at a. time. Police Chief Brans- field acted as court officer.
 In the clse under consideration it is alleged that the poisoned whiskey" from which MT. Sullivan drank was purchased from a resident of Pierce street, who denies the allegation; but that is question to be settled by the coroners inquest, the finding of which will be based upon the evidence intro duced.
 From the information received by the attorney general it is evident that that "poisoned whiskey' was pur- chased in Westerly and that the man died in Westerly. making it a case clearly within the province of the prosecuting authorities of Rhode Isl- and.
 It differs materially from a legal tsndpoint from the cases where Cor oner Brown found that the poison was sold as whiskey in Rhode Island to residents of Connecticut and who died in that state. Therefore the attorney general of Rhode Island can go no fur ther in those cases than to cause the arrest and indictment of the person claimed to have sold the whiskey, for a violation of the liquor law. It is the claim of Rhode Island authorities that all that legally can will be done in probing the cause of every suspicious death that has occurred in Westerly
