The recent death OF Major George E
Pickett, son of the great Confederate
soldier of that name, who led the ia
nous charge at Gettysburg, recalls a
story told by the widow of General
Pickett and mother of Major Pickett,
of her first and only meeting with
Abraham Lincoln. 1t was the day fol-
lowing the abandonment of Richmond
by the Confederates, and when the
Union troops were in possession Of
the city Mrs Pickett was alone with
her baby boy her husband making the
final stand with Lee and his ragged
and hungry veterans. 1t may be need
less to say that the wife of the absent
general was in no friendly frame OF
mind toward the conquerors, and her
irritation was increased by seeing a
body of negro cavalrymen sweeping
past her house.

4 WHITE DRESS
Embroidered
If All White, Color May Be
introduced.

New York, July 12.-As July slips
by, leading us sizzingly into the very
heart of summer, the cool white gown
of lawn and embroidery comes more
and more into favor. One needs to
look cool as we'll as to feel cool in
days of blazing sunshine; it is a duty
to ones self. A new white dress from
Paris is of the finest lawn or batistc
and broderie Anglaise, executed on the
material itself, not joined to it.
The skirt is made with a high corse-
let and crossed in front, the center
panel being broad band of broderie,
beyond whose scalloped border is a
revers- like strip of pale blue batiste,
which begins very narrow and widens
toward the hem.
Skirt and Coat.
The broderie in a still wider band
goes all around the back and sides of
the skirt, resting on a band of blue
batiste. The charming little straight
coatee, which is such feature of the
dress, and reaches but an inch below
the waistline, is embroidered all over
and is very short, being eked out, as it
were, by a basque of pale blue batiste,
which also forms the shawl-collar and
the cuffs, and the coat is fastenead
across with a single blue button.
And the Chapeau.
A big hat of legal straw, slightly
turned up in front to show a pale blue
lining, and crowned with big bow IF
blue ribbon held by an oval silver
buckle of large size, and a sunshade Of
pale blue silk complete a perfect sum-
mer costume OF course, any color
may replace the blue and not a few
will prefer to have the whole dress
done in white.

MERCY FOR ABE RUEFF.
Editor who Brought About Convic-
tfOn States Reasons for Leniency.

EulIOr VINO Drought ABOUT SOnNlC-
tIOn States Reasons for Leniency.
From the Chicago Tribune.
A noteworthy statement is to be found
in the latest edition of the Survey. 1t
is an appeal for mercy for Abe Reuf,
and the appeal is that of Fremont Older!
Yes; Fremont Older, the fighting editor
OF the IAN Francisco Bulletin, who, with
Spreckels, Heney. and Detective Burns,
made up the militant quartet which al
most brought justice to the high ups"
OF political corruption in San Francisco.
For eight years, as Mr.. Older says. he
pursued Abe Ruef until he was con-
victed. Then he was seized with a de-
sire to soften the feeling that had crys-
tallized against him through the long
years of the conflict" and now he asks
that when Ruef has served a year at
San Quentin the people of California
will show him mercy.
Mr.. Older is moved by several con-
siderations, both personal and public
One is the fact that Ruef Is paying
the penalty alone. while the men who
bribed go free. But a more important
consideration Mr.. Older phrases thus:
II the Eraft fight in San Francisco served no other
purpose. it proved Of great educational value both
the people in whose interest II was waged and to
the men who led the movement. True, Abraham
Ruef was the only man indicted who reached the
penitentiary; but, speaking Of the men PROM
inent in bringing about the exposure do not regret
that more were not placed in the stripes Of infamy
do not regret il because have ceased to believe
that our economic difficulties going to be solved
By sending men to prison. The cure lies deeper
Men are too weak to Withstand the temptations that
lie in their way. So long as public necessities are
controlled By private corporations there will be civic
corruption.
This is a view peculiarly or at least
emphatically American, and one which
will be dubbed weakly sentimental and
dangerously subversive. Nevertheless
that way lies not madness but a larger
sanity. This, at any rate. is our Amer
lean democratic instinct, perhaps the
most significant thing in our national
character.
