MANS LATENT POWERS
Written Especially TO the Daily News 81

Suppose that violin had only been
used for a baby's plaything! Why,
all it could know of it's inherent ca
pacities would be the few weak chords
elected by the feeble and ignorant
hands of childhood. Imagine it's as
constituent, then, when on some fate
full day, an Ole Bull of Paganini finds
it and lets loose the lightning and
thunder which are hidden in its
bosom?
There are multitudes Of people
whose lives have been passed under
the pressure of ceaseless and tirsome
routine, who know as little about tn
hidden resources of their natures. The
fixed and rigid habits of their daily
lives have lain upon those mysterious
capacities like some terrible, superin-
cumbent weight.
Some day, however, there comes a
new and perhaps terrible emergency;
a fire; a flood; a sickness an acct
dent; temptation; battle and the
imprisoned energy bursts forth with
volcanic power.
If the limited experiences of this
mortal life disclose such unsupported
capacities, what revelations will be
made by those in another and higher
realm of living.
If the stimuli" of European travel,
for example, awakens your sleepy soul
to activities of which you never even
dreamed, can you doubt that going
from star to star in another sphere
of existence, will disclose capacitives
in it, which we have no name now
The brilliance is in the diamond,
but the shade and the cutting wheel
of the jeweler are the stimuli.

Whenever possible the tops Of the
boots match the material, or at least
the color of the tailored suit And If
those tops do not lace at the front,
they lace at the inner side of the foot,
for large lacings have come in again

More interesting than shoes are the
novelties in gloves. Perhaps you have
not as yet encountered the latest
novelty in shopping gloves. The back
is heavily stitched in three long rows,
and it fastens over the wrist with a
single large clasp. 1t comes in white
kid and has cuff which turns back.
ward Moreover that three inch
wide cuff is Of black kid piped with
white, and at the back it points toward
the center of the hand. Smart indeed
is the suited glove with trinity tailor
ed suit.
The Panama hat will come forth in
unusual shapes, even in military eff

Close long sleeves with puffs at or

Some of the new shades are crossed

side.
One of the new fashions for coats
is cutaway in the front and peplum in
the back.
Owing to the pronounced favor in
which the light tan shades have been

d NEW YORK FASHION NOTES. o

BY Maude Hall.

The military fashion has given rise
to two effects which are often to be
served in the newest importations.
and in original American models. 1t
may be mentioned that although the
American costume designer may not
have reached the stage of excellence
which the Partisan holds the hat de-
signer has shown herself splendidly
capable. There is little choice be-
tween fine domestic and fine I'M
ported hat in the excellence of taste
displayed.
One of the military hats is the tri-
corne, although the majority of its
adaptations are entirely peaceful in
their suggestions. They are low, I'M
even and often trimmed out of all re
semblance to their inspiration, as for
instance, one pretty tricorne which
came here on the last steamer from
Paris. 1t was waved up to a greater
height on one side than on the other,
and was covered completely with vio-
lets. Lest one miss the three corners
through the softness of outline, these
were marked by rosebud set at each
of the points.
Very mixed are some of the mill
tary fashions just now. Woman seizcs
upon n regimental style because it is
picturesque and becoming and it trou-
bles her not at all that German, Rus
sian, English, and American military
emblems are jumbled in hopeless con-
fusion in her spring attire. From the
French officers coat is borrowed the
choker collar: the black braid that
trims it suggests West Point. Dang
ling tassels on the coat are truly Prus-
sian in suggestion and because the
Cossack style of millinery is particu-
larly fetching on femininity it has
been adopted as the popular style Of
head-gear and is carried out in Belgian
blue. Hessian green or Frenchified
black and white, with a fine disregard
for consistency. Even the boot Is
military and Milady actually wears
brass buttons on her foot-gear-shin-
ing brass buttons with the American
eagle thereon, to add touch of
American patriotism to her foreign
military decoration.
At period when nearly every wo-
man of nearly every class wears shoes
as perfect as she can afford to have
them. it is scarcely necessary to in
clude footwear among accessories.

had the best of reasons for being hopeful and
confident. Their president was a trained soldier.
He had studied at West Point, and had had ex-
perience both in the army and in the war de-
partment. Above all things, he had the conf
dence of his PEOPLE.
It Is ne wonder that the people Of the South
received the announcement of Lincolns call for
$1,000 troops with derisive laughter and cheers.
This was on the third of April. BY the thirtieth
of May their loyalty to their cause had become
more enthusiastic. This was especially true of
their younger men. The military drill incident
to their preparation for war with them was a
pleasant pastime. There was no need of a call
for troops. Thousands of them were ready and
anxious to enlist. Manassas Junction, Va, had
been selected as the rallying place for the Con-
federates, and volunteers were gathering there.
Such was the situation the thirtieth of May in
1851. A calm before the storm. Fifty-two days
later the battle Of Bull RUM
The truthfulness of the old saying, Coming
events cast their shadows before" must have
been realized by the people both in the North
and in the South the thirtieth of May in 1853, for
at that time there we're pending two events, eth
er Of which, these people must have realized,
might prove to be the turning point Of the war.

the question which was asked hundreds of times

people of the north were hoping that their sol
diers would soon succeed in capturing this
stronghold of the Confederacy, but there were
doubts in their minds. Grant had not as yet
gained the confidence of the Union people.
Within the three weeks Immediately preceding
this thirtieth of May the Union forces had been
gaining a series Of victories near Vicksburg.
Grant had defeated joe Johnston at Jackson
and had placed Union troops in charge of that
city. He had defeated Pemberton both at Cham
pion's Hill and at Big Black river. Pemberton.
now cut off from communication with Johnston,
had retired within the defenses at vicksburg.
Eight days before this thirtieth of May Grant
had tried to take these defenses by assault, but,
being repulsed. he had taken up HIS position on
the heights north Of the city and had begun his

become a realization.
Twenty years after the Civil war Graht mnil1
on his dying bed said: "Ihe grea'est s
who ever lived was Robert 4. Lee II ~ ~
take Grant twenty years to realize the greatness
of Lee. he had been brought to a full realization
of this fact early in May, 1864, when their armies
met in the Wilderness.
On the thirtieth Of May, in 1864, the attentlon
of the people both in the North and the South
was centered on this one man. Note the situa-
ton, or rather the events of the preceding year
which had led up to this situation. On the thir-
tieth of May, 1863, the Army of Northern VIZ
ginia, under command of Lee, was on Its march
to invade Pennsylvania. A few days later the
Union soldiers gained two of the most important
victories of the war, one at Vicksburg, one at
Gettysburg.
On this thirtieth Of May we find Lee still keep
ing guard of Richmond. Grant, who soon after
his victory at Vicksburg had been called TO
Washington, had been appointed lieutenant gen
eral Of the Union army. "On to had
at once become the war cry Of his soldiers. With
in the month of May Grants army had been re-
pulsed three times by the Army of Northern Vir-
ginia--at the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, North
Anna. Four days later. Cold Harbor! The same
result, Lee still keeping guard. The word re.
ceived at Washington was Victory" But victory
at such a cost! Thousands of the Unions best
soldiers lost!
Such was the situation on this day in 1861.
No other thirtieth of May had been as serious as
this one. At the white House Of the Confed
eracy," Richmond, there was a feeling of tenn
porary security. In Washington there was dis
enlargement.
On the thirtieth of May, in 1865, the war for
Union had ended. The day before President
johnson had issued his proclamation Of amnesty.
in which he ~pardoned all who had taken part IN
the rebellion on condition that they would sub.
scribe to an oath of allegiance to the United
States, and accept the results Of the war, includ.
ing the emancipation Of he slaves. The signing
of this oath by Confederate soldiers on this day
was the FIRST formal step in the %reunitinC of the
states of the Union.

siege. So, on this thirtieth of May the
inhabitants were just beginning to be
subjected to the horrible experiences
of continual bombardment and starva-
ton, which lasted until the Fourth OF
July, when the city surrendered. Caves
were dug in the ground for the pfotec'
tion of the women and children, ana
food became so scarce that rats were
sold in the butchers shops.
While on this thirtieth of May the
people throughout the country were
watching with interest the develop
ments Of the siege at Vicksburg, their
chief interest must have been centered
on the movements of the armies in
Maryland and Virginia. Since the last
thirtieth of May these armies had met
at Antietam, at Fredericksburg n at
Charlottesville. Thousands of soldiers
from both the North and the South a
fallen in these battles. Only rs days
had passed since the battle at Chancel-
louisville. Stonewall Jackson, the idol
of the southern soldiers who followed
him, had fallen in this battle, but the
spirit of his name remained; his faith
full followers were still ready to stand
"like a stone WALL against their foe, as
they had done while under his leader
