fVhat He Thinks Is Xcwssary For Cnrr«'iu:y lifforin.

ASHINUTON, Jan. 8.—The president ired sending messages to this eoness, either directly or through the ledium of open letters to individual members. It is, therefore, his idea that, if the house can get any kind of a currency through ana send it over to the senate, and if the senate is permitted to amend it any way it chooses, so long as it passes it finally, a conference committee from the two houses can evolve something which will be acceptable to both, particularly it it becomes evident meanwhile, lrom repeated issues of bonds, that the treasury is in a very bad way, and must be helped in some manner. There are three things necessary, 111 the president's judgment, to any settlement ot present ailhculties: i'lrsl—The repeal ol the law mjuiriiig the issue of redeemed legal tenders. {Second—The enactment of a law requiring the payment, ol dut les on imports, or Jit- least apart of tneni 111 gold.

Tumi—Ttie authorization of the secretary af the treasury to issue exchequer bills for the payment ol treasury dues when there is not ready money enough to carry government isMie^ along.

The trouble arose over a crap game, and the dozen shots lired did more damage to bystanders than to the belligerents.

Within Her Sphere She Reigns Supreme.

Woman claims her own. Her field widens constantly. Every day brightens her prospects. Her progress foreshadows the greater triumph at hand. Emancipation and equality will be hers in the years to come.

Prophetic of final victory were her achievements at the World's Fair. At her shrine there erected the nations bowed. The lesson taught at the "Woman's Building" will last "till time shall be no more." Their enlightening influence will be felt around the globe throughout the dawning century.

Only less memorable were the honors gained at the Fair by

FASHIONS IN SHOES.

EVERY MATERIAL EMPLOYED* FROM SEALSKIN TO SUEDE.

Yellow Shoes Are Banished by Well Dress* ed Women When Winter Comes—Sensible Walking Boots of Calfskin—Patent

Leather and Suede Slippers—Strap Shoes.

"A well dressed woman is known by her shoes and gloves," is a saying on which most women have been brought up. By this saying is not meant merely good boots and gloves, but boots and gloves appropriate to the occasion and costume and fitting to perfection. With athletics and tho fad for all outdoor exorcise has come the sensiblo, broad soled, flat heeled walking boots. Long walks aro now not so much to be dreaded when the feet aro well shod. The most fashionable as well as useful shoe for

all practical purposes is a light weight French calfskin, which must be kept blackened and polished like men's boots. It is made generally on what is known as the English last—that is, with broad 6oles and pointed toes and low, round, broad heels. It must fit comfortably, but as most of the leading shoeshops keep this stylo it does not of necessity have to be mado to order. Some women cannot wear the very heavy soles, nor tho heavy weight of calfskin, and therefore all grades are to be had. For those who cannot wear calfskin at all a shoe is made on tho same lines of the heavier kind of kid.

Patent leather shoes and boots with pointed toes are considered moro dressy and are worn with more elaborate walking costumes. Patent leather boots with cloth tops or kid tops are very much the stylo for wear for receptions with velvet and silk costumes. They aro made with rather higher heels, but are on the same last, with broad soles and pointed toes. Buttoned and laced shoes are equally worn this season. Somo of tho very outre shoes, which aro made to #jok as mannish as possible, have a long vamp, and only como up as far as the ankle, and havo only six buttons of largo size. This fashion suits some few women, to whom tailor made costumes are becoming.

To look into tho closest of one of tho fashionable women of today is surprising. Tho number of boots, shoes and slippers she requires would be difficult for her country cousin tobelievo. Each and every one is 011 its woodon treo as carefully polished and in order as can be. The whole thing looks very masculine, but it is not to bo sneered at, for there in 110 disputing the fact that they keep their shape and wear far better when all this care is taken. Sealskin, with patent leather trimmings, is ono of the newest fashions, but it is really too heavy looking to be very smart, and only from its oddity is effectivo. Of course it is only used in walking boots.

Thero aro two or three apparently immaterial changes in tho styles of shoes this season. The pointed tip has given place somewhat to the square. Of course this does not apply to tho too of the shoo, which is as pointed as ever, but has to do with tho stitching of the patent leather or calfskin.

All ball gowns now havo the slippers mado to match, generally of satin, although it is quito tho thing to take a bit of the brocado or whatever tho dress matei'ial may be to 0110's bootmaker, so there shall be a perfect match. These slippers are made very pointed and with high lieols. Patent leather slippers made like boys' pumps are quito smart for house wear. They are tied with narrow "black silk ribbon, exactly as a boys', but have shorter vamps. There is nothing that makes a woman's foot look better than a black patent leather slipper pump and a black silk stocking embroidored in horizontal lines of color. Patent leather pointed slippers, with long vamp and tonguo, which come far up on the instep and aro there tied in a big bow, aro exceedingly smart and most becoming to the foot. Tho back of these slippers is of black suedo. They aro not considered suitable for full dress, but with a house dress, tea gown or simple dinnor dress, are very desirable.

Tho light and suedo slippers, finished only with the tiniost of steel or rhine pebblo buckles and worn with tan colored stockings, aro still in favor, and, ac-

MARRY IN GERMANY.

BUT IF YOU ARE AMERICANS BE PREPARED FOR A SIEGE.

Documents of All Kinds and Witnesses Must Be Presented to the Civil Functionary—The Trials of a Young Couple of Americans In Berlin.

It is often almost impossible for an American to socure the papers necessary to make a European marriage valid, especially in Germany. Tho lovers are frequently obliged to wait until they can repair to some less inquisitive land, whero a priest or legal functionary will consent to uuito them without asking superfluous questions. When the contracting parties aro thomselves Europeans, tho formalities are probably formidable enough, for besides tho actual marriage papers thero aro settlement papers and various preliminary documents to bo drawn up. But if you aro an American of course you aro a suspicious character, and yon will find it even doubly diflicult to marry the girl of your choico. You must first prove your right to live and broatho and havo your being, and your brido must provo her right to livo and breatlio and havo her being, and your father, and your mother, and your brido's father, and your brido's mother must .also provo that they were born in duo time and have lived

irreproachably over after, and caso they no longer exerciso the functions of living, brcatning and having their be-

ing it must bo shown that they ceased

to do so 111 a sober and godliko mannor. a All this and much more must be set forth in a quod erat demon strandum fashion by means of documents before you will bo allowed to bend your neck to tho conjugal yoko.

Tho truth of theso remarks was illustrated a few weeks ago in Borlin, when the happiness of two young Americans hung for a long time in tho balance until German authorities finally consented to let them join hands and hearts. TI10 young man was an Egyptologist and found it necessary to bo in Egypt at a certain time. IIo hoped to tako his brido

with him, but almost up to th® last moment ho was uncertain whether ho should havo a brido to take. For months ho had been trying to bring about this marriage, but tho requirements of tho German law wero enough to drivo even a man accustomed to tho complications of tho Tel-el-eh-Manali tablets to despair. The brido had lived formerly on the other sida of the world, and as there existod in tho cautious German mind tho possibility tliatsho might have gono through tho marriage ceremony 011 soma previous occasion it was necessary to publish tho banns weeks beforehand, not only in tho Berlin papors, but also in the journals of her nativo American town. Both parties wero obliged to secure certificates of tho birth and baptism of themselves and their parents and to furnish an epitomoof tho family histories down to dato. Thero is a rumor that testimony was even demanded as to tho number of times certain relatives had bocn vaccinated and the success of tho operation. Tho young woman's father had died when away from home, and it was rather difficult to satisfy German authorities as to the manner of his taking off. Finally all tho papers arrived, and tho couple repaired ono day with their friends and witnesses to tho office of the legal functionary in whoso hands their happiness reposed.

Tho legal functionary, of course, had I witnesses on his sido. Tho Germans never transact any business except in

Tho papers wero produced. Tho brido told all about herself, and tho bridegroom told all about himself, and tho friends and witnesses told all about both of them.

IIo shook his head over tho papers, pursed up his lips and then turned on the wholo crowd and asked them fiercely for their passports. Of courso no ono had such a thing about him, so tho jaded bridegroom had to rush off in a drosky to securo as many as wero necessary.

Meantime a German couple appeared. Their papers, of courso, wero all right. Tho German bridegroom took possession of tho American bridegroom's vacant chair, and tho American bride, who, by this time, was almost in tears, yielded her seat to tho German brido. By tho timo they had been safely launched upon tho sea of married life tho passports had been found, and tho Americans again took tho chairs and wero finally made man and wife, to the satisfaction of tho legal functionary, themselves and their friends.

That wasn't all, of courso. They had to rush off, after tho legal functionary's fee had been paid, to do honor to tho ordinary conventionalities, array themselves in festal robes and bo marriod again by a ministorwho spoko tho English tongue, shako lipids with their 500 friends and catch tho first train for Egypt-—Berlin Cor.
