DtAPHANouS SKIRT
 PUPILS A PROPHECY
Manuscript, POO Years Old, Has Turn
 ed Up in Colorado.

Cornish, Col. Aug. 25.-The arrival of the diaphanous. the hobble and the slit skirt is the fulilment of pro- phecy of Sir Charles de Puyster Gold win, of Scotland, who lived 200 years ago, according to a, manuscript found today by Miss Faith Forson Smith, in a trunk.
 The manuscript is dated November 10, 1704. and reads in part:
 @rhe time hath come when think there is much to be revealed to my children's children in clothing the hu- man form.
 T cannot believe that men will for ever wear wigs, swords and knee brooches and such like fopperies.
 Ladies should not be so circumspect in their dresses, which are cumber- some and the long trains which please their majesties of this year of our Lord seem to me naught but a design to conceal that which the Creator meant should be revealed
 Perhaps posterity will learn that there Is naught to be ashamed of in that which God hath created
 "The Creator never meant men and women to be so burdened with vel vet ribbons. lace and powder that His handfWork should be concealed or dis torted, The Romans. it seems to me were more sensible than we are to- day and 1t may be that in a dozen score of years peoples of the world will grow weary of these late changes which are only worse than those ~~Iateh were their immediate predecessors"

 natures to Accomplish, This,

New York Aug. 25.-A turn in political events involving the sugges- ton that Mayor Gaynor, democrat, whom Tammany refused to re-nomi- nate, might head the republican ticket through securing enough republican signatures to accomplish this at the primaries, caused adjournment today of meeting of the county judicial and (Manhattan) borough designating com- nittees.

 Board a Eattieship.

 MT. Lind called on Foreign Minister Gamboa today to say goodbye, put there was nothing in their converse ton regarding the resumption of ne- gotiations or to indicate that Mexico would recede from her position.
 Mir. Lind will sail from Vera Cruz at an early date, presumably on a battleship. It is expected that Will liam Bayard Hall, who has been in Mexico City in an official capacity will accompany MT. Lind or leave soon afterwards.
 Rumors persist that General Trevino, who has been sunm oned to the capi- tai, will become provisional president, but confirmation is lacking, and this report is offset by another that Gen. eraI FIuerta has called in most of the retired officers and many of those on detached service to report foE- duty.
 General Felix Diaz. who recently started for Japan as special Mexican ambassador, is also said to have re- ceiVed a summons to return to the capital.
