Feather sho.s.

"Feathered shoes are the latest thing
in Paris" said bootmaker. They
are made OF the plumage OF the throat
and breast OF brilliant birds. Blue, yell
low. green. they are very striking and
splendid, and they cost about $40 a
pair"
The bootmaker, a philosopher in his
way, smiled ironically.
ITO wear feathers on the feet isn't
new" ne said. THE Australian abort
gines have worn feathers on their large
black feet from time immemorial. So
devoted. indeed. are the Australians to
this adornment that they wear nothing
else--positively nothing else.
Let us hope that in Paris the feath-
er craze won't go as far as that"

REBELLION IN
NICARAGUA ENDS
Government Forces Win In
Three Decisive Battles.
MANY PRISONERS CAPTURED
Makes Progress Toward Checking the
Revolt-Army Active in Different
Sections-Treachery Found
Prominent Officers in Jail.

Washington.-The Nicaraguan Gov
ernment has bestirred itself and made
considerable progress toward putting
down the revolution in that country,
according to dispatches TO the State
Department from United States Min
lister Weltzel
Col. Dias has defeated $50 Zelayis-
tas under Col Berries at La Paz.
La Paz is on the railroad from Co
rinto TO Nicaragua. More than 1900
rounds of rebel ammunition were cap
tured, and Col. Ber-ios, who was Sub
Secretary of War under Zelaya, was
taken prisoner. The same afternoon
the Government won a more impor-
tant victory at Tipatapa, where the
rebels several weeks ago won one of
the first engagements of he reyolu-
ton. Gen. Arsenio-ssruz defeated the
force of 500 men under Col Cerillos,
and recaptured Tipatapa. The Gov
ernment forces made prisoners of two
colonels, including Cerillos, eight cap
tains and thirty-three subordinate Of
ficers of tn > rebel foTcc.
At Tamarinda. on the east side Of
Lake Managua, the Government
forces captured Gen. Irias. a deputy
in the National Assembly, with lac
armed men. This sorce was attempt.
ing TO join Gen Mena at Grenada
1t is reported that Mena at Grenada
and Zele1on at Masaya have collected
a great deal Of cash by robbery and
eXtortion. Much treachery has been
uncovered in the administration
forces. 1t is stated that the peniten-
tiary at ManagUa is becoming filed
with prominent army officers who
were found to be plotting against the
Government. 1t is expected here that
Admiral SoutherlGnd ard his subor-
dinate officers will see that the Gov
ernment authorities do not exercise
the same cruelties toward rebel pris-
oners as the revolutionists are being
accused of in the cities where they
are in control
1t is the belief at the State and
Navy departments that the revolution
in Nicaragua is over and no serious
disturbances are looked for.
