Others residents of Corona joined in
the chase. 1t lasted two miles before
the balloon fell. Meantime, it had
smashed the inert figure against
houses and trees
The policeman was the first to
reach the fallen airship. He cut the
body loose from the balloon and then
dug his knife deep into the q bag.

BROWN SAILOR HATS LIKED
Have Achieved a Popularity Almost
as Great as Has Come to the
Black.

Almost as popular as the black sail
or hat is the one of brown straw. or
its close kin, that of burnt straw. It
is especially well liked for wear with
the popular brown linen suit-for
brown seems to be having quite a
vogue this season.
Newest, Of course. are the small sail.
or with the large head size, the small
or medium sized brim and the rather
high crown. These are somewhat trH
ing to many types of women, but look
exceedingly well on the girls who are
"tailorish" enough to don them.
On h black and dark brown hats
white bands are the most approved
and fashionable style, while the burnt
straw hats are encircled by bands of
darker brown.
ID the smartest hats, OF course.
are those of the extreme
either very rough or quite smooth
and fine.

Thurlow Weeds Chat About the Ell
fort to Nominate Daniel S. Dick
inson for Vice President
With Lincoln.

How different would have beef
the course of American history right
after the close Of the civil war;" said
Thurlow Weed to me a yea or two
before his death. which occurred in
1882, had we been able to plish
what a good many of us thought would
be a very wise thing to do at the
time Of the convention in 1864 which
nominated Abraham Lincoln for presi-
dent"
The famous old Wing and Repub.
lican political leader paused for an in
slant and reached out his hand to-.
wards me so hat he might feel my
hand, since he was then almost
blind.
did O ever see Daniel S. Dickin-
SOM" he asked. Did you ever heal
him speak? If you did, you were for
tunate. I believe he came from a lit
tie town on the site of a mountain in
northwestern Connecticut, called
Goshen, and that IN his early life he
born orator. Did you ever hear him?"
l told Mr.. Weed that l had seer
and heard Daniel s. Dickinson in the
summer OF 1853. and that he greatly
resembled physically Henry Ward
Beecher. excepting that he was a
taller man.
Eyes. that Is So" Mr.. Weed replied.
He wore his hair long, as Beecher
did; he was also smooth shaven and
he had the same projecting or full
eyes which ! long learned are
n of the best physical evidences of
the power Of oratory. You heard him
make a political speech. I presume?"
l replied that Mr.. Dickinson had
come to Connecticut not to make po-
litical speeches, but instead to speak
for the of the Union and SO to
speak as to encourage lei to enlist.
"Oh, I remember that time very
we'll" Mr.. Weed replied. 1T was Just
after the draft riots in 1863 and en-
listments were slow. 1t was neces-
sary to fill up depleted regiments.
MI. Dickinson was sent for to make
speeches in Connecticut, M%assachu-
sets and Rhode Island. These
speeches rekindled the excitement and
which prevailed in New
England during the first year Of the
war"

Pink a Popular Color.

With the incoming of thin summer
clothes M saw a good deal Of the
now established French idea of using
pink ribbon in ones lingerie instead
of any other color. The claim is that
it brings out the color of the skin,
and is more artistic than blue or Law
ender.
If one wants to try its merits 1t
would be wise to u chemises and
corset covers with q quarter-inch pink
ribbon a little deeper in one than
what is known as flesh color. An
elaborate display Of ribbon is not In
good taste. 1t is possible that an
eighth of an inch would be the best
width to use. Large bows are not
plastered in front of the corset cover
as they used to be.

Striped Coat Set.

Fine muslin, chiffon cloth, and mar
%quisette are all used to make collar
and cuff sets for short jackets. These,
with eyelet embroidered batiste. have
taken the place of Irish lace, which
seems at a discount these days.
The striped coat sets are in any
color that one wishes, not necessarily
to match the suit. The collar is quite
long, deep at the back, and finished
with an edge of cluny lace or a hem
of colored muslin or linen to match
the stripe.

ChanQeable Taffeta Garments

Not many are yet seen, but they
are expected 10 nave u great run a
little later on. One reason why they
are not yet more in evidence is IN
doubtedly because Of the price If the
French chiffon qualities of which they
are made. From $3.50 to $3.50 per
yard is asked in the retail shops for
these new taffetas. By another sea-
son domestic manufacturers will have
popular-priced lines, but If one desires
an exclusive silk gown for the present
summer she should invest in one OF
changeable chiffon taffeta.

In 1882 General Grant published an
that he had been in gross error in i'm

Bull Run, in August. 1852, which justi-
fed the verdict of a court-martial by
which General Porter was cashiered.
dismissed from the army and forever
prohibited from holding n office I'M
der the United States government. AS
a result of General Grants magnani-
nous action, which he called a simple
act of justice. congress passed a bill
removing some Of the penalties pre-
scribed by the c~ourt-martial. There
were, however. some technical defects
to this bill. and General Arthur was
compelled to veto 1t. But in the first
administration Of President Cleveland
another bill became a law by which
the sentence of ex-General Porter was
expunged, and he was restored to the
United States army with the rank of
colonel.
At the time the so-called Fftzjohn
Porter BIZ! came before the senate in
the administration Of President Ar
thur, public interest was greatly
aroused: there were many senators
who accepted General Grants view
that General Porter had been ~unjustly
sentenced. while others were sincerely
convinced that the verdict Of the
court-martial was fully justified by
General Porter's conduct at the sec
ond Bull Run.
1t was observed by a number Of
senators about this time that Gen.
John A. Logan. of b senators

First Colonel of Negroes

famous New York city regiment
which furnished $50 officers to the
Union out of the men who marched to
the front with it on April 10. 1861.
| have heard George William Cur
tbs explain in this fashion how 1T was
that Colonel Shaw happened to begin
his military service with the New
York regiment
1T was due to q chance visit tnat
Robert Shaw made to my house on
Staten Island. My wife was his SIS
ter. and though ne was Of Massachus-
etts citizenship, he was In b habit
of speaking Of our Staten Island
home as his other home.
I'm the winter OF 1861 he was with
us. From day to day he followed
closely the development of b re-
lations between the north and the
south. He was sure that was war In
evitable; he believed that 1T would be
his duty to enlist for 1t. and with that
idea in mind he became a member OF
the Seventh regiment. Well. in the
spring the wal that he had looked for
zane, and he vent to the front as a
private, and we were all proud OF his
handsome appearance. The patriotic
earnestness shining in his face, and
his soldierly bearing as he marched
away with his musket upon his shout
der.
The Seventh enlisted rst as a three
months regiment. At the end OF that
period Robert went back to his own
state and was given his first commits
sion in the Second Massachusetts.
Then. in 1863, when he was a captain,
came the incident Of which all of his
family. and especially his father. was
very proud.
Massachusetts was the first state
of the north to raise a regiment of
negro soldiers; Robert was asked by
Governor Andrew II he would accept
the ]colonelcy. Many persons thought
he would decline it His family was
rich. they were members Of the most
cultivated circles Of Boston, and he
was himself a Harvard man. But he
told us that he regarded 1t as a high
duty and opportunity to accept the
offer, for he believed that the moral
effect produced by the leading of the
first negro regiment to the front by a
man who was no adventurer would be
OF great value. At the head of the
regiment he again went to the front
with his fathers blessing and the ap-
prevail of all who were near him.. and
he fell with many members OF his reg
iment at the assault upon Fort Wag-
nev, in South Carolina. on July Is OF
the same year.
"When the news OF his death was
received By his father, and the father
was asked what disposition should be
made of his boys body, he remained
quiet for a few moments. His head
was bowed with sorrow that his son
should have died, and yet he was sus-
tanned by the feeling OF honorable
pride for the brief career Of this bril-
liant and handsome son At last he
raised his head and said:
az have only n answer to make
when you ask what disposition shall
be made of my sons body, and that
is this: Let him be buried with the
soldiers who persisted with him. That,
| am sure. would have been his

Defended by Mr.. Madden.

Representative Madden of Illinois de-
Tended the District committee and the
bill. He said
THE revenues of the District of Column
ba arc increasing every day. Every dol
lar of the revenue thus far raised has been
used for the ordinary running expenses
of the government. All permanent I'M
provemcntS thus far made have been
made from funds borrowed from the fed
eral Treasury. There are S2.SNOO0 of
this money borrowed to be paid. This
bill provides for the payment of this
$2.SOOOOO out of the revenues of the
District at the rate of $3OO,0OO every
year. This bill provides for the setting
aside of $1.o3O,O0O a year until 1924 for
the purpose of making permanent i'm
provements, and these permanent i'm
provements consist of the reclamation
of the Anacostia flats and the turning of
these flats into a park. They consist of
a permanent system of sewerage. the eX-
facilities to the people who are here to-
day and those who are yet to come.
THE bill provides that after these two
sums-$1 ,2p,OCU and S3OO.Otn, making ST.
$50. OOO-every year shall have been taken
from the revenues of the District what
remains after the deduction of these
sums shall be appropriated for the ordi-
nary conduct of the District of Columbia
and to this sum- which Is set aside after
making these enormous deductions shall
be added an equal sum out of the Treas
ury Of the federal government.
