Indianapolis, July 10.—Advices from Managua, Nicaragua, convey the sad intelligence of the death there of (ieneral Dan Macanley. President Zelaya of Nicaragua has directed that he be buried with military honors. General Macanley left Washington some months ago for Nicaragua, wftiere it is understood that he would look out for the interests of Smith M. Weed, who is to be president of the canal company. General Macanley was a citizen of Indianapolis. He served as appointment clerk of the

There is, however, a remedy for this misfortune, and this remedy ha. attained a great degree of perfection within the la«t few year*. Though one’s hair cannot be made to retain the desired kinks, natural curl, can be bought and substituted. This false hair no longer assume* the form of the old time wig.

One’s own hair may be pushed smoothly back, as the “front piece” cover, nearly the whole head. The back piece is simply a bunch of curls on a long hairpin, which is used to form a knot. This may be ar ranged very quickly, as braids and twists are done away with. What is known as the recherche toupee is a becoming way of dressing the hair on the top. It consists of a lightly made frame, with slightly waved hair drawn back toward the middle of the head. The hair Is perfectly natural, and although the style is suggestive of the “pompadour'’ it has yet no element of harshness abont it. For those whoso faces permit them to discard the fringe this will prove a great attraction, though it allows of a light fringe on the forehead. One of the prettiest of the new coiffures is obtained in the waved bandeau. In this we find that the shorter hairs are waved on the top, so

V.lnrns of All Sorts fluid an Exalted Pestlion The Irish Flux Fabrlra. Among other novelties thin season is the hopsack linen. S*'en at a little distance, the hopsack linen has all the appearance of a rich thick silk, and yet it possesses all the hard wearing and washing propensities of an ordinary linen. The range of colors is exceedingly good, a soft gray hint" Is-ing particularly artistic, a fact which is worthy of note, for a groat drawback to the ordinary linens is the hardness of the coloring. Great care has been taken, howdver, to produce these linens in tho most becoming shades. The new material is 87 inohes wide, and it is quite sufficiently substantial to make up well without any
lining.
A great variety of plain linens have been prepared, and among them there is to be found the real butcher blue, and why this most attractive maUTial need be reminded of its disagreeable extrao- ; tion by being labeled “butcher blue" when by another name 'twould sound more sweet is a matter for conjecture. For children's dresses and shirts a third light make of linen is to be recommend- | ed very strongly. This may be procured in bines and various other tones, a pretty brown being included in the range of colors. These materials are all made In fast colors only and are handmade by the Irish peasantry. For skirts and coats, tennis and boating dresses and covert coats for summer Wear these fabrics are perfection, while the hopsack linen is quite worthy of taking its place among the smart materials which adorn our persons on great occasions, while it would equally adapt itself to the needs of the womau who yearns for a washing tea gown or robe de chambre of attractive appearance. The galatea cottons, so long used for children's sailor suits, are this season added hi the list of fabrics for adults and an* being made up into gowns for yachting and country wear. They come in narrow stripes of white, alternating with blue, rod, hrown or black, and also in solid colors. The old fashioned grass cloth or linen batiste of pale ecru and tan shades is made up in very chic gowns for midsummer wear. They are trimmed with heavy laces in points, medallions and Insertions and are given a touch of color by a velvet stock and belt of nile green, turquoise blue, golden brown or pink. Dimity gowns are again in order, as are those of piqne swiss and organdie muslins. Very effective piques have ribbed stripes of dark blue and white only a quarter of an inch wide. These are made with a round waist jacket and deep volant, cut circular and open up the back. The open fronts have the rovers and sailor collar now in vogue, with an extra white piqne cellar buttoned on invisibly. Pique blazers, cut short and full in the back, button only once on the bust, are rounded below to show a vest or shirt and have a notched collar stitched near the edge. Curved slit pockets are on the sides.

MANY
CLUBS IN WASHINGTON PROMOTE IT.
There Are the WlmoxUsaghsls and the fro Re Nata, as Well as a Nrere "I Others. All Harmless, I sefal and Interesting. Damocles’ Sword[Special Corre«pondence.] Washington, May 81.—Wimodaughsis is a fine and imposing word. It is not Chippeway, as a Minnesota man might think at first sight, nor yet Menominee or of any other Indian tongue. It is the purest kind of Anglo-Saxon, though very mnch compounded, as will presently appear, and is the name of the best known women's clnb in Washington. There are, however, at least a dozen other women’s clubs of which one can find the officials and learn something of the history and objects, besides a number of minor societies. In truth, then, there is no other place in the country where women are so extensively organized as in this city, which is only what one might expect, for this is the center of all organization, and the city lives on it, and so the talent for that sort of thing is wonderfully developed. There is a local branch of the Woman Suffrage association, as well as of the W. C. T. U. There are all sorts of organizations for charity and education, and in addition the Travel club, the Short Story clnb, the Isabella association, the Pro Re Nata club and many others, but let ns first consider the interesting Wimodaughsis. Original, but Not Aboriginal. The idea was first conceived by Miss Mary Desha, sister-in law of Colonel W. C. P. Breckinridge, and her idea was an organization which should be the same for women as the Y. M. C. A. is for men. She called to her aid Miss Emma M. Gillette, attorney-at-law of 802 F street, and they consulted Miss Susan B. Anthony, who suggested a very extensive plan of education and care for all those women who are in Washington without home ties. So. early in 1890, these two, with Miss Adelaide Johnson, Miss Fanny N. Edwards, Miss Eliza T. Wood, Miss Lucy E. Anthony, niece of Susan B., and the Rev. Anna H Shaw—the local wits entitled
RTTLtsn HAIRDRESSING, that when the Linger pieces of hair are pulled away to the side in arranging the coiffure the wavy effect is not lost by this stretching, since it is confined to the shorter hair with which the bandeau is
covered.
There appears to be evidence that coils will continue in favor, but there are occasions when three are not snf- I fieiently elaborate. A bunch of curls fastened to one of the new flexible hair frames forms a charming style, and arranged with a few strands of the wearer’s own hair as additional puffs and twists it becomes ornamental. A new "chignon," known ns the empire coil, consists of a small ring made of the flexible hair braiding and one strand of hair slightly curled at the end. This strand is arranged deftly over the ring into more or less large twists or coils, and the curl just peeps over the ring on to the neck in a bewitching fashion suggestive of tho days of the first empire
Canning BrrrloB.
Tho process of canning all berries is varied but little, except in the quantity of sugar to be used, the acid varieties, of course, requiring a larger amount than tho sweet. Only the most p*rfeot fresh fruits are suitable for canning. They should not l* too ripe. Berrios are best sugared an hour or two before 1 icing put on to cook. It Is suggested in Tho Ladles’ Homo Journal that a little powdered alum may be addt«d to the sugar to aid in preserving the color and shape of the berries. They should not be allowed to cook long enough to destroy the natural flavor, but only brought to the boiling point Put, while very hot, in airtight glass cans and seal immediately. The jars should be thoroughly heated before filling and the tops se-
curely screwed on afterward.
If preferred, berries may be ednned without sugar. They will keep quite as well. A quarter of a pound of sugar to every pound of fruit is the usual proportion for raspberries and blackberries, while double the quantity should be used for currants and gooseberries. All canned fruit should be
kept in a cool, dark place. One Way to Frame I’lxotnrrapha
A cheap and easy way of framing two or more photographs is to take four pieces of ribbon and stitch each two of them together at intervals just as wide as a cabinet photograph. Fringe tho ends and slip the picture in between the ribbons at both top and bottom. By arranging the pictures at angles with each other they will stand upright.
was very sutx-essful, she naively says, so long as she could keep it from degenerating into a mere class in Enghsn composition. The Dclsarte class also ha* dancing lewon*. and the parlors are used for that purpose. Mrs. Eleanor Matlock, who has been the society’s agent for soliciting contributions, says: “We are neutral in politics and religion, and Washington women are not very much excited about the suffrage anyhow, for the men cannot vote here, and so we are all on an equality. As to money, we have but a scanty revenue from the rent and dues of the members, but we need much more, because there is so much more that we ought to da Let the ladies of the country know that when they come to Washington they will be warmly welcomed here and can use our parlors to make up their little parties for shopping and sightseeing. This is a general purpose society and deals with everything that will help women, from high art to dressmaking. ”
It Thinks Ahead of Time.
The Isabella association was named, of course, for the queen ami began its i studies in Spanish history and literature J by way of preparation for the World’s fair. It had a hotel at Chicago during the fair, and its original intention was to take a very active part, but when the board of lady managers was provided | for this association retired from that fisld. It had, however, already raised 1 the money and ordered a statne of Isabella, made by Harriet Hosmer. This was not completed in time for Chicago, but was sent to California for exhibition at the Midwinter fair. One of the principal promoters was Mrs. Lncia E Blount, who, when the occasion for exalting Isabella was passed, organized the Pro Re Nata clnb. Her hnsband, Mr. Henry Blount, is a man of great wealth, and the meetings of this club are usually held at their country residence, a famous old place known as ‘ ’The Oaks," on the heights beyond Georgetown. The name of this club is a puzzle. We know what pro re nata means in Latin nml the law phrase and have a cloudy kind of notion what it means in theology, for it is one of the nicknames applied to an offshoot of the old Covenanters which found Scotch predestinarianism entirely too mild, and bj picking out the strongest phrases from that and the tenets of the synod of Dort succeeded in framing a confession which onthypers the hyper-Calvinists. But what does pro re nata mean in a ladies' club) Miss Emma Gillette says it means “for the nature of things, " 1 but one of tho ladies of the club says they understand it to mean "thinking ahead of our time.” I suppose, therefore, the object of tho club is to investi gate matters too far advanced for popu-
lar discussion. The Travel Club.
i am confirmed in this view by the fact that one of the most active members is Dr. Ella 8. Marble, who has had the management of g ladies' gymnastic clnb and is an advocate of many reforms in that line. Of quite a different sort is tho Travel club, which was organized and is to a great extent managed by Mrs. Mary A. Lockwood, at wbost home a number of very bright women meet every second Monday. Still iui other is the Short Story clnb, of which Mrs. Lusanne Crandall is president. Its object is to encourage and bring out young writers, mid as a matter of course it has to wade through a fearful mass of guff and listen to some very tedious productions, but by all accounts it sticks to its work heroically and has brought out some very fair WTiters. Mrs Mary E. Griffith is president of the local W. C. T. U„ which is unusu * ? nc * lve present and contains some nt the brightest women in Washington They are particularly well posted on the law, and the least hint in congress of any change brings them down on the committee with a force that cannot lie resisted.

them the Seven Wise Women—organized the club. After considering n great variety of names derived from Greek, Latin and the modem tongues, they took the first sound of each of the four relations held by woman—namely, wife, mother, daughter and sister—and therefrom compounded the truly original, though apparently aboriginal, title of
Wimodanghsis. It was a happy conceit.
Having been occasionally compelled to coin a word myself, I regard their ac-
tion as quite a stroke of genius. The constitution declares the objects
of tho society to be mutual improvement, the education of woman in political science especially and in almost everything generally, providing a public parlor, reading room, library and gymnasium, as well as a meeting place and starting point for ladles visiting the capital and generally a woman’s home and social exchange. Rev. Anna H. Shaw was the first president, and the membership rapidly increased to near 400, but at the annual meeting a few days ago Mrs. Rnth G. D. Havens was elected president and Miss Fanny Edwards secretary. The board of directors is elected hy the stockholders, and these, who may be called contribntlng members, live in almost every state. Among them are Susan B. Anthony, Mrs. E. C. Stanton, Miss Clara Barton, Mrs. Clara B. Colby, Miss Laura M. Johns of Kansas, Dr. Caroline M. Winslow and many others eminent in the arts and professions The society extended its work
so rapidly that it soon had classes in uxuti, mr n one nearly all the languages taught, as well should mention all the societies for art,
as in drawing, the Delsarte method, 1 — “ • • •
sewing and elocution, and it is now running five classes in French, two in Spanish and two in German. It has purchased a fine building and large lot at 1328 1 street, facing Franklin park, for which it still owes a considerable debt, and incidentally it may be added that any one who wants to contribute $5 for a worthy object can thereby secure tho benefits of membership while
visiting Washington. From Art to I>r<-«xmaklux.
When the society had covered almost the entire field of women’s interests, the inevitable trouble came—the trouble

ally so sudden and unexpected and the disappointments of place seekers are so many that there are often hundreds of women thrown out of employment Their natural resource is to such a society as this, not so much for money help—in fact, that is very rare—as for help in getting places. This kind of work had to be given up entirely simply because it would have exhausted the time and energies of all the members. The National Woman Suffrage association has rented the parlors of the Wimodanghsis for its meetings, but the society, as such, take* no stand on the suffrage question. All the rooms are rented to various organizations for stated meetings, which do not interfere

list The circle of which least is known,
though many hear of it is the so called Washington club, which is supposed to be a sort of committee for the local Four
Hundred and to have a mysterious potency in deciding who is and is not in
society. It is spoken of with a sort of
awe as a truly formidable body.
Minor Club#.
So far the clubs of note. But what shall bo said of the scores of organizations among the women workers in the departments—their reading circles and musical parties, their combinations for religious purposes or mutual help, their little dramatic societies, their talking groups and even their progressive euchre clubs? Their name is legion. There are thousands of women in the government service, hundreds more engaged ns clerks and typewriters and scores working as editors, correspondents and local reporters. And then there are the state associations, of which every state largely represented here has one, and at most of their meetings the women are in a large majority. In short, Washington is the paradise of women, provided only that their positions are secure. But there is the cause of constant anxiety, for over the head of almost every woman employee hangs the threat of dismissal like the ever trem- I bling sword of Damocles suspended by I a single hair.
