The new Catholic church at Victor
ia, Kans-, which was dedicated Sun
day by Rev. John F. Cunningham. of

ing in the state and the dedicatory

decoration in the facade. Fourteen
columns of polished Vermont granite
support the walls of the clere4story.
Selected Bangor slate was used for
the roof. Pews will be provided for
100 persons; within the sanctuary
are five beautiful affairs; six confes-
Sionas viii be recessed Within the
walls.
Victoria is the midst Of a SETTLE.
ment of several thousand Russians in
Ellis county and is one of the strong
est Catholic settlements in the
state. A few years ago when the big
Catholic church at Liebenthal, north
of La Crosse and south Of Victoria
was finished it was considered about
the largest church of its kind and a.
long the last word in such conStruc
ton. But this new church is consid-
erably larger.
A number of Barton county people
were at Victoria Sunday for the ex-
ercises and enjoyed the entertain

FADs AND FASHIONS.

Longer sleeves are inevitable.
Still the vogue of velvet increases.
The waist-line is everywhere higher
All the early autumn hats are rath-
er small.
Large white satin revers are used
on many silk suits.
Wide vale diagonals will be much
used in tailored costumes.
Velveteens and corduroys will make
up many handsome skirts.
Three quarter length coasts prevail
in Paris tailored costumes.
Rich and gorgeous blues have
masterful place in millinery.
Taffeta has a stronger place in
fashion than for many years.
ALI fashion indications point to a
still larger use of embroideries.
The large collar has evidently come
to stay, as we'll as the side frill.
Probably more wash silk waists are
worn this summer than ever before.
The all-white hat continues to hold
an important place in summer MILL
merry.
Trimmings placed directly, at the
back are seen on many Of the smart
est hats.
The wider skirts now have the au-
thority Of the great costumes Of Paris
Cut crystal is one of the trimming
articles strongly indicated for fall and
winter.
Tailored skirts are to be both gored
and plaited-the latter in clusters
near the foot.
Tailored dresses of serge and other
lightweight woolens will be conspicu-
Gus among autumn fashions.
There is a distinct trend toward
Second Empire styles, and many are
ale three-flounced skirts.
Some of the brighter satin sailor
collars so much liked are yelled with
mousseline the color OF the dress or
wrap.
Not many collarless waists appear
for fall; as a rule collars are high,
since they look so much better with
wraps.
Embroideries on voile are again be-
ing featured for the coming season,
and some exquisite effects are obtain
ed in colors.
Wide lace collars worn on coats
and dresses are bordered with SOU
tache worked in a pattern which gives
weight to the edges.
Parisiennes are wearing a great
deal Of silk fringe, even on their petit
coats. This denotes a tendency to-
ward fanciful modes.

FHE DUTCH CAPITAL.
Editorial Correspondence.
Hutchinson News.)
The Hague, August 2.

Inc hague, August z.
This 10 the capital of Holland and
soon will be so, in way, of the civ.
ilized world. The first international
peace. conference was held here, fol
lowed BY the establishment of an in.
ternationar tribunal to decide dis
putes between nations, and now
thanks to President Taft's statesman
ship, the nations are. agreeing to arbi
trate all differences and this Hague
tribunal will doubtless be the court Of
last resort for the world. The pro-
prdety of the selection of The Hague
is not questioned. Holland is a
small nation with practically no forts
or standing army or navy. 1t is not
factor in international politics and
its own independence and integrity
are guaranteed by the various treat
les between the nations It's import
ance is commercial and not political,
It has no alliances and occupies a
unique position among the countries
Ct Europe. Paris or London or Der.
lin would not do for the location of
the International tribunal, because
each would be subject to local influ-
ence and force, but all nations can
come to The Hague, the capital of
the country whose territory they have
promised to protect. AS the arbitra-
ton treaties increase in number the
practice of referring disputes to The
HSgue will become almost universal,
and it seems to me that this will
make the beautiful Dutch city the
capital Of the world. Other cities will
strive fog commercial supremacy but
The Hague will be, the center for
craftsmanship and government.
Tue Dutch have abbreviated the old
name S'GraVenhage to Den Haag and
they pronounce the name of the CAPT.
tai just Like we do the word hog. The
old wond meant "The Counts s Hedge
Or wood, because there was a small
forest here belonging to the Counts
OF Holland. The forest is still here. a
beautiful piece of natural woods
about a mile and half long and half
as wide. At the further end of this
forest is "The House in the Wood
which is.in fact beautiful little pal
ace buiit in 1915 by Princess Amaha,
the widow of Prince Frederick Henry
OF Orange. Amalia has a new idea
on memorials, for the principal room
OF the palace, the orange room, is
decorated by pictures from the brush
ec of pupils of RubenS, and while they
portray scenes of the life of the
Prince they are full of fat cherubs,
scanthy dressed ladies and very racy
suggestion. l am told Amalia was
tha4 way but l have no personal
knowledge. All this happened nearly
300 years ago and in any event she
had most charming palace. Several
rooms are filled with gifts from the
EmperOrs of China and Japan to Viii
hemina and they add to the general
hilarity of the memorial
Although The Hague was the center

met there to form League against
Spain, it had no representation in the
government until the last century
The original cities in the federation
refused TO admit The Hague and ii
was sort of District of Columbia un
liz Napoleon took possession of HOl-
land on the theory that it was formed
from the deposits of drit made by
French rivers. Napoleon gave The
Hague a local government which it
has since retained. 1t has grown
much i'm late years and is beautiful
city with good architecture, many
wide streets, fine public buildings,
handsome private homes, pretty ca
mails, and shaded avenues. 1t is a Gus
tom in Holland and the Dutch colonies
for men of wealth to come to The
Hague, put up fine houses and spend
some of their money, just like the
town farmers do in Hutchinson.
We went to see the Gevangenpoort,
an ancient tower in which prisoners
were confined, tortured and executed.
They still keep some of these inter-
esting machines with which justice
was dealt out in the good old days. A
prisoner whom the authorities desired
to convict would be allowed to prove
mis- innocence by the ordeal of fire.
He was permitted to walk with bare
feet on red hot gridirOn. If he was
innocent the heat would not affect
his naked soles, II guilty it would. Blu
that is nothing. Our own dear old
Pilgrim fathers used to take a woman
charged with witchcraft and toss her
into a pond. If she were a witch the
evil spirit would keep her from drown
ing and Puritans would put her to
death. If she drowned her innocence
Of the charge was proven-and they
buried her in the church yard.
The Dutch got their early ideas of
prison reform from the Spaniards.
There is machine in the Gevangen-
poort which dropped water onto a
man s head for hours. If he lived he
was crazy. Then they had 1911 mod
lie of a rack which would break the
bones in the arms and legs and not
kill the prisoner, so he could be tor
'tured later. Pincers to pull out fin
ger nails, branding irons and stocks,
that kept a man or woman standing
on the toes for hours were light pun
shments for petty thievery. A very
popular form of punishment was to
hang the prisoner by his feet, head
down and let the populace come and
enjoy the sight. Of course these old
instruments are mere relics now, but
just remember they were the real
thing only 300 years ago, and 800
years is not long in the history of
the world. We never think that it
was just as long between 1911 and
1911 as it has been from 1911 to now.
We confusedly tumble all the events
Oh about 500 years into middle ages
and can't remember which was in
which century. The last 300 years
seems long and full of events while
the three centuiers before are remem-
bered as all of one time. l wonder if
the people on earth in 2211 will look
over some Gevangenpoort of ours and
Shudder at the savagery of 1911.
incidentally l want TO report that
the people of Europe are looking on
