lied the great soldiers fair in Chi

original draft of Lincola's Enamel

$4,000. A Congress OF. Nations heIG

other event of the early years In

active part in organized work.
The Red Cross work grew out o.
thu Sanitary Commission of war

Society grew out Of the turning Of

lig'ous work in the year 1888, VII n

Imitation amber and tortoise-sheil
pins and barrettes for the hair, hand
somely studded with brilliants, are
now In great demand, as the fashion,
able hair dressing, with the soft
waved pompadour and psyche knot
dressed high, on the head, calls for
both the ornamental pins and bar
rettes for evening wear. A revival OF
the mound or mop hair dressing in a
nuch Or graceful form is noted.
The hair is waved and softly parted
at the left sile OF sise head. The hair
ia then coilcd and piled aigh and wido
across the top Of the hcac In a be-
coTs>ag and natural way. Jeweled
pins and the new buckle barrette to
match are very effective with this
hair dressing. -Harpers' Bazaar

They Frequently Are, the Effect
Is Charming.

Really prominent feature OF the
smart afternoon frock this year is
the nEmber of the tiers on the skirt.
sometimes dividing it. Into three per
tons, sometimes arranged in tna
form vi numerous fiounces on the low
er part of the skirt. These are nearly
always scalloped out and edged with
fringe, and the effect Is charming. A
pretty black silk frock with straight
skirt neither full nor narrow has about
half dozen Of these little fiounces,
scalloped, and edged with narrow
black silk fringe.
These flounces are not full, but are
put on fat, SO that they do not inter-
rupt the line of the skirt at all. Their
decorative effect Is very great, al
though 1t Is achieved with such quiet
means. Another pretty frock, in sap
phire.biue cashmere. has the skirt di-
ytded into three equal tiers, the bot
tom of each being scalloped and edged
with sapphire-bluc silk ball-fringe. The
lowest tier allows border to be seen
OF sapphire-blue silk on which large,
vaguely patterned, dull green disks
are scattered. This border really con-

BRAIDED TOUCH FOR GOWN
Ingenious Girl PRODUCES an Original
and Unique Effect In Her After
noon Gown.

Seeing In the shops the tiny mar
row bands of folded black satin, With
their long silken or heavily beaded
tassals, used as a neck finish, a GER
tain ingenious girl added the touch OF
originality to her new afternoon
gown by making, to so with 1t, tie
and girdle of braided folds of black
satin.
The little tie was of the usual three
strand hraidIng, the satin strips be-
ing very small and carefully blind
stitched along thu entire length. 1t
was long enough to 60 around the
neck and hang almost to the waist,
the ends being worked into a clever
little "rosette," with jet beaded cen
ter. Another tiny medallion covered
the black metal snap fastener" which
held the tie together at the base OF
the collar in front.
For the girdle slightly wider strips
OF satin were prepared, and she
rubbed up her memory of lessons ta-
ken in raffla braiding for baskets. The
braid, when finished, YVES more than
an inch wide. was fastened at one
side under a medallion similar to but
larger than the ones used for the tie.
and the ends hung nearly to the edge
of the dress skirt, being also finished
with rosettes, from which hung black
silk tassels.

Russia at Her Old Tricks.

| After her trouncing by Japan the
empire of Russia sang rather small.
Now she is back at her old game.
The especial forte Of Russia seems
| to be that of bullying and robbing
smaller states, taking advantage OF
the temporary embarrassment OF her
neighbors in order to get the best
of them and seeking to deal with
the greater powers by means Of a
devious diplomacy.
Her most recent moves are char
acteristic. Whether her soldiers
have wantonly killed women ana
children in Persia or not, the very
fact that she has attacked weak
state is as though grown man
shouldastrike a child, The Russian
incursion into Mongolia is but little
better. She waited till the Chinese
were engaged in a civil war and
seized the opportunity to rob them
of great province.
Both of these exploits recall Rus
sia's treatment Of Finland and P0-
land. No man of ordinary sensibil- |
tiles can read the story OF Poland |
to this day without shuder of hor
ror.
Russia is the black mark on mod
ern civilization. Her savage cruelty
toward those Of her own subjects
who dare aspire to freedom, her
lnassacres Of the Jews, her refusal
to admit missionaries to her do
mains, her bureaucracy, her grating
grand dukes and lesser officials, her I
ringing toward power and her hru-
.alitv toward the weak, all spell out
he miserable story. The shame OF
t is that the great powers Of Europe
permit her thus to bully and over
'ide the smaller nations.

RANDOM CLIPPINGS
Financial Bud yet.

Mr. sMacNeagh declares, with rea-
son we think that the action OF
Congress should be prompt; that the
last three or four years have given
ample time for discussion; that this
discussion has been thorough; ana
that the time for definite action has
arrived. All those who believe in
banking and currency reform, and
especially those who desire to see the
banking currency of the country
based on credit instead of United
States bonds, may wisely take tho
view of correspondent of The Out
ook who dissants from some of the
provisions recommended by the
Monetary Commission and who says,
nevertheless: IF the discussion Of
what you call details Il call them
vital economic aspects) is likely TO
interiors with securing from Com
Eress recognition of a credit cur
rency on any terms, then the details
should not be discussed" We hope
that the prevailing interest in the
currency question will not divert
public attention from one other
recommendation in Mr.. MacVeagh's
report. He urges the appointment
ment of a commission consisting of
Representatives Of Congress and the
Executive Departments, to frame a
budget syst7m for the Government.
One of the serious defects of Ameri-
can finance is that Congress passes
its appropriation bills without any
definite idea of what the sum total
Is to be. The result of this system
is to give us what are called 'Bil-
lion Dollars Congresses" England
has a government Budget, and the
Ministers Of the Government present
TO Parliament an exact estimate of
receipts and expenditures for the
financia year. This prevents ex-
trayagance and waste, and enables
the country to determine whether
the party In power are good business
managers, similar system should
be adopted in this country. --Outiook

The Contagion OF Confessions,

Are our big criminals getting the
Eronfessing habit? 1t would almost
seem so from some recent trials. The
three murder cases that have at
tracted most attention in the past
few months were the Beattie case
at Richmond, the Mcnamara case at
los Angeles and the Rieheson case
at Boston. Confessions were made
lin all three.
Lest we grow too optimistic, how
ever, it may be as well to mention
that Beattie confessed only after he
had been convicted and sentenced
and when all hope of appeal or re-
prieve was over, while the chain Of
evidence about the McNamaras and
Richeson was SO tight that eonyic-
ton was we'll nigh certain. Even SO
the confessions were good things
They set the public mind at rest
Had they not been made d few peo-
pie doubtless would have continued
to believe the prisoners guiitless. 1t
is even possible that through delays
or legal technicalities some of them
might have escaped. Such things
have happened,
Too much praise cannot be Eiyen
to the officers of the law for the
thorough manner In which the
proofs were brought to light in all
three cases. There was nothing but
Ecircumstantial evidence on which TO
depend. and it is notoriousIy hard
Ito convict upon circumstantial evil
denee. Yet so painstaking was the
Investigation and SO complete the
lchain that escape from the mesh
became practically impossible.
These are not the only recent in
stances in which confessions have
been made, In one case the only
evidence was a finger print, yet the
prisoner broke down and told all
Let MS hope that confessing will be-
come contagious.
