 But the pin bricks are continuing From Borodino Nicholas II. has gone to Beloyezh in the province of Grodno. Grodno is one of tho part Russian part Polish governments which sent an anti Witte deputation to Nicholas H. and Bi- elovezh is the greatest virgin forest in Europe. It is full of aurochs and of na- tionaists. There Nicholas remains, and spends his time. surrounded by spias priests and generals, shooting at the aurochs and patronizing the nationalists The nationalists got up a plan to get Witte expelled from his seat in the coun- ell of the empire. In particular, the na- tionalists of the fortress town of Iirest- LitovslS were in the agitation. They ap- piled to Archbishop Michael of Bresr and Grodno to lead the agitation. and when he refused found successor in mo- torious criminal named Yabonoff. Yablo- noff was chosen to lead the faithful na- tionnlists against Witte.
 This Yabonoff was first a highwayman. who was awaiting hanging for murderinS Il woman when the police released him uI condition that he organized a pFovoca ton bomb plot He came at the head C. a deputation to Bielovczh, where he was presented to Nicholas II as marvellous 'self taught mushk, who had learned in his remote forest hut to read French.

The gem of the petition was cool request that Count Witte, to- gether with two other Jew members of the council of empire might be de- prived of their seats. This petition was too much even for Nicholas, and the pa trotic Yablonoff got a hint to keep it in his pocket The Czar however. was en- tlrely taken in by Yablonoff and congrat- ulated him upon his linguistics, which, as a fact, were acquired while Yablonoff was helping Russian police spies to eoncoct

Tlots in Brussels and Switzerland. When the deputation left Bielovezh it spread the untrue story that the Czar had promised not to renominate Witte for his council of empire post next January ].
 Count Witte sits tight in Biarritz, and pretends that he does not mind these pin bricks. In reality he does. He has the weakness of much smaller men, of all Russians. That is that he Is never com fortable except when the light of Nicho- las countenance is shining on him. That explains why he recently withdrew his constitutional leanngs, and gave inter views in which he praised to heaven the old autocracy. Probably he will now give interviews praising the new nationalism

 Under the heading "Ths Dilemma of the Supreme Court" is set forth. in the language Of the court itself. the original. vexatious and far reaching problems sought to be solved by enact ments made during the passion of polit- ical hate and the chaos of reconstruc- ton, after war and social upheayal
 In rendering the opinion of the court in the first case involving the amend ment, known as the Slaughter House Cases" MT Justice Miller is quoted as follows. We do not conceal from our selves the great responsibility which
  tons so far reaching and pervading in their consequences. so profoundly interesting to the people of this country and so important in their bearings on the relations of tho United States. have been before this court during the off, ficial life time of any Of it's present members" And "the court repudiated the radical ideal of the privileges or immunities' clause of the amendment, taking the practical view that the po- lice power of the states stlll remained in force" In rendering this case We read the court decided that there were two species of citizenship, each with it's privileges and immunities--a Federal Citizenship and a State Citizenship.
 Civil Rights Cases
 The citations of what are known as the five separate Civil Rights Cases" are interesting in that they show that the decision of the higher court refused to compel the giving of:
 Hotel accommodations to negro in Kansas, and another in Missouri:
 negro seat in the dress circle of Philadelphia theatre;
 A "full enjoyment of the accommo- dations at the Grand Opera house, New York.

 The court declared that Congress had no power under the Fourteenth Amendment to initiate direct and af- firmative legislation

fashion. but he and all other really great
designers know that we must consider
fashions from the standpoint Of ourselves
to be we'll dressed in the truest sense. We
will still be straight of line in the general
effect Of our garments and no woman
desires to make herself outre by appearing
in anything voluminous, but, whether
those lines shall be graceful and shall
render the special woman a joy to look
upon, or whether they are so exaggerated
that the human figure becomes grotesque
is quite within the individual power to
determine. Fashion is generous We are
to have some plaits and some plain skirts
for the tailored costume. We will wear
a great many draperies and the draperies
will take variety Of forms. In a general
way, long skirts are advocated for indoor
wear during both afternoon and evening,
but trains vary in length from the pretty
round skirt that can be worn in small
room without inconvenience to the really
long train that always has certain dignity
OF its own. 1t is each woman's privilege
to choose the costume that is adapted to
her own needs and suits her own person
atty. We are not held to one fixed style.
The slender slip of a girl is provided for
but SO also is her mature, larger proper
toned mother, and, if each will only wear
the gown that belongs to her by natural
right, the season will be fascinating one.
Too often it is the girl or woman Of
limited means who makes the mistake of
choosing the Inappropriate material or
costume. Women Of generous means
usually are also women Of wide experience.

living, who thinks she is in the height of

AN ENGLISH TOP COAT.

CEPARATE coats are to be exceed.
y ingly smart this autumn and this
one shows the very newest lines.
1t is adapted to almost all seasonablc
materials and can be worn for MANY
occasions. 1t is excellent for motoring
and for travelling and it. is just as well
adapted to street wear. II very wide
material is used, it can be made without
seams under the arms, but for narrower
materials, the seams are necessary, and
many women prefer them in any case as
they mean greater shapeliness. GETAWAY
fronts are being much used and are always
effective, but for the practical coats, the
straight fronts are often better, and when
the seams under the arms are used, the
fronts can be finished in either way. A
smart and practical feature is found in the
collar that can be rolled open or buttoned
up tightly about the throat. The sleeves,
too, can be made in bell shape or plain.
The season is prolific Of materials adapted
to such coats but, in general way, cloths
with rough finish may be said to be espec.
tally smart, although serge is always excel
lent for the carly season. Wool fabric
woven after the manner Of eponRe promises
to be much used and mixtures include a
very interesting variety. For these last,
plain Innings are to be preferred, but plaid
Innings or trimmings on plain fabrics are
among the features Of the autumn.
