resedas. The white grounds with black figures are very much favored, as white and black is one of the smart combinations for the summer. Of the new models that are being shown, a charming one for either afternoon. or evening wear is a soft, clinging affair of cream batiste trimmed with a deeper tinted lace. ‘The skirt is- made with graduated insertions of the lace put -in the tucked- skirt, and a decorative device of tiny flowers embroidered in white silk ribbon. This covers the entire gown. It has a bolero of the lace over a vest of plisse white chiffon. A scarf of black chiffon crosses the vest, with a rosette at the bust line, which is brought down and loosely knotted at the waist, then falls to the hem of the trailing skirt. Paquin ‘sleeve of lace, witn undersleeve of -emhbroidered batiste. Another beautiful model gown is of cowslip yellow silk, elaborately trimmed with stitched: bands, and lacelike passementerie in white. The skirt has a graduated flounce, with two stitched bands put on in deep scallops, and cross bands between. The stitched bands graduate from the waistline to the hips, being much longer in front and back. The bodice has a yoke of tucked white silk, trimmed around the neck and down the front with lacelike passementerie. Below this are stripes of yellow and white silk cross stitched together with white silk. A dainty bow of white taffeta in front. The sleeves are made in the same way to just below the elbow, with undersleeve of tucked white silk, trimmed with the lace. ' ~ A modest but attractive street ‘zown, of which a model is being shown in a Fifth avenue store is of leaf green silk. It has a perfectly plain skirt cut in quite a new fashion,

the seams being all closely stitched. A full bodice of filmy white lace held at the waist line by a draped band of shot silk. This is tied at the back in a smart looped bow,; and finished with long sash ends. The lace peeps out from between a vest of silk and lace applique.

Taffeta Silks Are Being Made Into Dressy Gowns OMBINATIONS of plain and broC’V:’hcgfded taffetas are being made w&p into many fancy and dressy gowns. For these embroidery is the trim?hg that is most used. It is best done on the surface of the dress; and if a passementerie or added embroidered trimming is employed, the effort is made to get it to appear as fif&fiffi* - s T

impossible.. Silks and velvets are cut into patterns and applique by embroidery stitches, and chenilles and tinsels and paillettes are all introduced into a design. Patterns cut out of brocaded taffetas are placed upon a plain taffetas ground and affixed by gold threads. Tulle and mousseline de soie are laid beneath chenille or tinsel traceries, the lighter fabrie being caught into the design. Flowers are simulated in floss silks, and velvet petals are.cut out to be embossed above padded shapes; and glittering paillettes lightly touch the patterns into brightness here and there. Another method of trimming is with lines of lace or open motifs, either in lace or passementerie, beneath which the material of the gown is cut away and the lining allowed to show through the trimming. Of course, the linings that are shown in this way are as a rule specially inserted bands of some bright colored silk. This method of trimming is more in vogue for the lighter materials, and is seen with best effects upon gowns of crepe de chine, grenadine, voile, crepon, or muslin, batiste or fancy cottons. , A muslin gown arranged in this way has three rows of valenciennes lace around the skirt, under which are bands of the brightest shade that appears in the pattern of the figured muslin. On the corsage there must be a similar trimming, either as a yoke above a pouched bodice, or as an edging to a bolero, with a silk that is placed to line under the lace used uncovered for waistbelt and collar and cuffbands. Such a design made in a dainty figured muslin will be very satisfactory for a simple park or garden-party gown for a girl’s wear. « / . —— Some of the Summerlnnova~ tions in Frocks and Coats EVERAL innovations are noted in S the summer fashions for young girls. One of these is the discarding of the collar. ~band. Of course, the frock may be made

with them if it is so desired, but fashion does not decree that it must be so, leaving it entirely optional with the youthful wearer as to how she will have it. Frocks maade without a collar and just at the pit of the throat in a rucke made by gathering up a full yoke, .or else set into a narrow cross-cut band, leaving the throat bare. This is done especially with blouses worn under the new coats that have turn-down collars behind, and is only suitable for girls. ;

1 And, speaking of the new c¢oats, these turn-down deep collars are not the only novel feature that is seen in them. Just now a decided tendency to tails just at the back. They are called postillion back or habit tails. : A smart model in pale gray cloth has a narrow chemisette of red and white spotted foulard, with puffs of the same at the wrist; the coat is fixed down on this with tiny gold buttons at each side, from the bust to the waist, where both cloth and foulard pouch slightly over a wide belt of gold-colored elastic, fixed by a deep gold-and-blue buckle. Above the bust a triple collar appears; the lowest layer thereof is dark green panne, the next elephant-gray silk, and the top and, of course, widest, is of pale gray fabric of the robe. This collar is cut square in front, but rounded behind; it forms the only decoration at the back, the gold belt disappearing there beneath little hab-it-tails. The skirt is trimmed round near the knees with a wide cross-way band of itself, edged on both sides with the darker silk and the yet darker panne to harmonize with the collar; and nearly at the foot is placed a line of tiny gold buttons similar to those on the corsage. : ! SARAH DAVIDSON. Primitive Stoves im Spain, In many parts of Spain the “stove” in general use is made from an empty petroleum oil can, by cutting a hole near the bottom on one of the sides to make a draft, the can being lined with gypsum to the pleasure of the comstructor, giving the fire space accordingly. The stove thus made, primitive as it is in its appearance, is effective in purpose and costs the equivalent of. but a few cents in our money. ~_ He Never Met Them. ~ “Ah,” said the beautiful woman, Yyou were a missionary once, I bem;fiffliéw;mr mfiww __“No,” he replied, “the cannibals al« ways catight up with me from behindJ" e

SOLDIERS MOB A SALOON. Wild Riot Indulged in by Six Hune - dred Men from Presidio at San Francisco. . San Francisco, June 3.—A mob of soldiers numbering 500 or 600 indulzgzd in a. riot Friday night and wrecked Mrs. Powers’ saloon, one of the many drinking places just outside the Presidio reservation. o There are a great many conflicting stories as to the origin of the trouble. The soldiers of the Forty-sixtn volunteer infantry were mustered out of service Friday, and the men given their discharge and pay. Most of the men had several hundred dollars coming to them, and they did considerable drinking in the Presidio resorts. A man by the name of Morgan, of the Forty-sixth, was found unconscious in front of Mrs. Powers’ saloon. Two of Morgan’s companions took him to camp for treatment. The doctor pronounced it a case where drugs had been administered. The news spread rapidly about the camp, and soon there were a dozen or more men running to Mrs. Powers’ saloon. They demanded reparation for the drugging of their comrade, but any knowledge of the affair was denied. Two or three ex-soldiers lounging about the place sided in with the women, and ordered the soldiers from the premises. They went back for reenforcements, and spread the report that two of their companions had been killed in this saloon. A mob was made up of members of the Forty-fifth and Forty-sixth regiments, then rushed pell-mell through the Presidio gates to the saloon. Stones were gathered on the way, and then the place +was stormed. Every window in the place was broken, the bar and fixtures smashed, and the interior demolished completely.. The gas jets were snapped off, and the coal oil lamps overturned. The place caught fire and a policeman broke through the crowd and rang the fire alarm. By that time the infuriated men were jyelling to burn the place and lynch the one helpless man, Harris, who had been driven from the place. Officers tried to rush Harris through the crowd, but were stopped. In spite of the efforts of the police to protect Harris, the soldiers beat and cut him terribly. Finally, when the squadron of cavalry and provost guard of 60 men from the Fortyfifth arrived, a passage was made through the crowd and Harris taken to a safe place. The efforts of the cavalry and guard to disperse the crowd were futile until the fire hose was turned on. This and the entire guard of the post helped to restore order. Mrs. Powers estimates the damage at $2,000. Not a thing was left intact in the saloon. A careful investigation of the report that some of the soldiers had died from drugged liquor proved that such was not the case. Morgan, of the Forty-sixth regiment, was the only man whom it is thought might have been the victim of a drug. An investigation of the riot will be made by the police and military officials. ' -

VILLAGE BURNED. Town of Jasper, Tex., Is Completely Destroyed by Fire—Loss About $lOO,OOO. Beaumont, Tex., June 3.—The little town of Jasper, capital of Jasper county, was entirely wiped out Sunday morning by fire. Seventeen houses, including every business house in the place, and a number of residences were destroyed. The fire broke out at three -a. m., and in the absence cf a fire department the town was at the mercy of the flames. Previous to the fire the post office safe and the safe of the county treasurer had been blown open and robbed. The conclusion of the people of Jasper is that burglars blew open these safes and then set fire to the town to cover up their crime and create an excitement which would afferd them an opportunity to escapé. The loss is estimated at $lOO,000 by the fire. It could not be learned what the thieves secured from the safes. As far as can be learned there were no lives lost and no one hurt. The robbers escaped. The Evacuation of Peking. Peking, June 3.—At a meeting of the generals of the allied troops Sunday it was decided to transfer the administration of the city of Peking to the Chinese officials gradually during June. Count Von Waldersee, accompanied by his staff, will leave Peking to-day. Two special trains will run all the week taking troops to Taku. The Germans are moving an extraordinary quantity of baggage, including Chinese carts, rickshaws, tables and chairs. Fishing Boats Lost. Charleston, S. C., June 3.—A fleet of fishing boats from Charleston was caught in a squall which swept up the zoast late Friday afternoon, 40 miles south of this city. Three boats ire’ missing. Their crews numoered 15 men, the majority of whom are colored. It is believed all have been lost., . ° ‘ .

PASSPORTS FOR FILIPINOS. The Request of Two Natives Wishing to Travel in Russia Is Granted, : Washington, June 3.—ln answer to bis application for instructions, Secretary Hay has directed Ambassador Choate, at London, to issue passports to the two Filipinos who appeared at the embassy Friday ‘“as residents of the Philippine islands, and as such entitled to the protection of the United States.” ‘ The decision upon this point is of importance, as having perhaps some bearing upon the status of the people of the Philippines. Porto Rico and Guam. A year ago the decision was reached to regard the Porto Ricans as entitled to the protection conveyed by an American passport, but a formal decision of the test case was prevented through the withdrawal of the application. The Foraker act determined the right of the Parto Ricans as “citizens of Porte Rico” to the protection of the United States government. It is now held that the Spooner law conveys the same privilege to the inhabitants of the Philippines. : The United States statutes prohibit the issue of passport to any but American citizens. But these later acts, the Foraker act and the Spoon= er act, impose obligations in their turn which may be regarded as qualifying the original act, and may enable the government to avoid a decision upon the question of the American citizenship of the islanders. At any rate the circular instructions now in formulation, which will be sent. out to all United States diplomatic and consular representatives, will direct them to issue, not certificates, but genuine American passports to the islanders.

A SERIOUS CHARGE. : el e s Digcovery of Dead Body of a Kansas Woman Leads to Arrest of He; Husband, Kansas City, June 3.—W. H. Klensmire, whose wife was on Saturday found murdered near their home at Holton, Kan., buried in a shallow trench, was arrested in Kansas City, Kan., Sunday. Marks on the body, which is believed to have been buried since May 19, indicated that her skull had been crushed with a club, and suspicion was directed against .the husband, who disappeared on that date. When arrested Klensmire was at the depot waiting to take a train, as he said, for Holton. When told that he was wanted on suspicion of murdering his wife, he refused for a time to talk. Then he declared taat his wife had committed suicide on May 12. On the following morning, he said, when he found the- body hanging from the rafters in their house, he took it to the trench and buried it. Klensmire denied that he had murdered his wife, and after making this brief admission refused to talk further. Klensmire was traced to Kansas City, Kan., by a Topeka detecti\{é, and said that he had arrived there May 30. He was taken to Topeka. : »

Bliss is very likely to call a special session of the legislature. It is knowx that he is dissatisfied with what the legislature has done, or rather with what it has not done.

CUBANS EXPLAIN. Declare the Resolution Adopted Regarding the Platt Amendment Had Been Approved by Root, | Havana, June 3.— Cable dispatches from America stating that President McKinley and his cabinet have decided that the vote in the constitutional convention is not a substantial compliance with the terms of the Platt eamendment have caused universal surprise here. Gen. Wood authorized the statement that he had received no official information from Washington regarding the matter. The rumor that Secretary Root will cable Gen. Wood that the convention must accept the Platt amendment without any explanations is not believed. The resolutign embodying the action of the convention concerning the amendment has not yet been delivered to Gen. Wood for transmission to Washington. The delegates are astonished to hear it said that they had no. right to incorporate in their resolution of acceptance the explanation made to the Cuban eommissioners by Secretary Root, ahd that the convention’s interpretation of the Platt amendment went outcide of what could be considered a fair interpretation of the act of congress. They say that President McKinley authorized the seeretary to confer. with the Cuban commissioners and afterward ratified Mr. Root’s declagration giving the president’s decision .on what was the substance of the Platt amendment. It is said that the convention’s in-, terpretation is Secretary Root’s interpretation, taken bodily from the official report of the Cuban commissioners in Washington, and that the report gives .a complete and exact account of the conferences in Washington. It has been generally known in Havana for many weeks that if the convention should accept the Platt amendment <t would be with the understanding that it means what Secretary Root said that it means. Reports of the Washington commission and the committee of relations, which made this clear, were published in full in all the papers here before the convention took final action. The delegates say that Gen. Wood knew the commission would include in its resolution of acceptance the explanations made by Secretary Root. Washington, June 3.—lt is officially stated that the United States will remain in control in Cuba until the Platt amendment has been ‘‘substantially” adopted. This was made known to Gen. Wood last Tuesday by Secretary Root, and his action has been approved by the president. Secretary Root was with the president for about an hour and a half Saturday, discussing with him the cablegram which was sent to Gen. Wood. This message will not be, made public at this time, and proba?y not until the convention takes actibn. Secretary Root has received no official tepy of the Cuban constitution as adopted. The copy received was furnished by Gen. Wood, and consequently the action taken now is considerad of the same unofficial character, but indicates the determination of the government. to reject the constitution in its present form. :

Havana, June 3,—The press deplores the misunderstanding with the Washington government, but generally admits the possibility of a wrong coms struction being put upon the amendment by the explanations and interpretations, and that it will be best for the convention to take up the question immediately and accept the amendment as passed by congress. The municipal election' passed off quietly. The nationalists claim the election of Senor Gener, their candidate for mayor, and a majority of the council.

The Public Debt, Washington, June 3.—The monthly statement of the public debt issued by the treasury department shows that at the close of business May 31, 1901, the debt less cash in the treasury department amounted to $1,062,476,494, which is a dec¢rease for the month of $10,268,762. This decrease is largely accounted for by the purchase of bonds for the sinking fund and the increase in the cash on hand. ; Boy Rescued from Kidnaper, Toledo, 0., June 3.—Albert Koskea, aged 14, alleged to have been kidnaped by a strange man from his home at Norfolk two years ago, was Saturday located at Ann Arbor, Mich.

Singular Methods Employéd by South American Indians in Capturing Monkeys, The Indian of South America employs this peculiar method of capturing monkeys: Taking a cocoanut he cuts a hole in each end just large enough to erfable a monkey+to insertits paws; puts some lump sugar inside, then places it ina promising spot and awaits the capture of his game. When a monkey finds the shell, in its greed it inserts a paw at each opening,

closes them on the sugar and then cannot withdraw his paws without opening them again and dropping the sugar. Rather than do this the monkey will attempt to escape with thecocoanut on its paw and so is easily captured.—W. H. Worrell, in Chicago Chronicle. . Nine Hours a Day’s Work, Maggie, a mare belonging to Aaron Yocum, a merchant of Reading, Pa., would make a good member for a labor union. Maggie is not a remarkable animal in any way—with oue exception, she positively refuses to work more than nine hours a day. Maggie is now 33 years of age, and is omnly worked occasionally, but even in her old age she remembers the principle which governed her in early youth and hangs on to the nine-hour schedule. When she is hitched up in the morning at seven o’clock she wiil work hard all morning. When noon coines, however, Maggie insists upon going to the stable. At one o’clock she is ready for the afternoon’s werk, but at five o'clock positively refuses to go anywhere but to the stable.

THE GAME OF THREE BITS. : i eey = /’ w 7 &) M il s ’7@ = ' iS\

Fasten a small metal weight at one end of a string, run the string so that it will move freely back and forth over a chandelier, ar small brad driven into the ceiling. Next saw from an old broom-nandle three sections, each of two inches in length. These pieces are known as the bits. Let the weight hang straight to the floor. From the point it touches measure out three feet’and or each side three inches. Inclose this space, three feet long, six inches wide, by pinnirg tapes to the floor. Each player is allowed three swings, and he govérns the length of the string to suit himself. The player not at the string may set up the three bits in any position he chooses; but they must be kept within the space marked out by the tapes. ' To knock all three bits down in one swing counts ten, and allows an extra swing. W knock all three bits down in two swings counts five. To knock all three down in three swings counts three, or one for every bit knocked down. Forty is the highest count which can be made during cne play of three swings, as only one extra turn is permitte@ Ten plays of three swings each constitute a game. The player having the highest score, of course, wins. : : There is a considerable opportunity for developing skill {n knocking over the bits. Usually a player may calculate to sweep down two of the bits with his swing and his endeavor will be to glance from one of them into the third piece. The best possible score is 400, but it will take montns of practice before any player can even appraach this score.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. .

SRST . AP S R STy eSMo T e e e e R GOVERNED BY INSTINCT. When Cellie Heard Sheep She Forgot Her Training and Almeost €aused a Tragedy. Even such intelligent animals as collie dogs will forget domestic training when instinct gets the upper hand. Monroe Hess, of 300 Indian Queen lane, Philadelphia, owns a handsome collie named Lady, who is the constant and watchful playmate of his two little boys. The children have a wagon and harness for Lady and spend hours daily carting dirt from one place toan+ other. Last week they were busily engaged in this way when a cattle train slowly passed on the Reading road.

Two cars were loaded with sheep, some of which began to bleat. Lady pricked up her earsand at once started for the train, the children following in amazement, for their pet had never acted in this way before. Lady led them down the track. The boys did not notice the express train thatis due at 4:20. The engineer whistled and ‘put on his ‘brakes. Lady, with all her barking and excitement at the sight of the sheep, was the first to notice the express. She ran back across the track in front of the train. The boys took a short cut to head her off. The train caught the tail end of the cart and tumbled Lady and the fragment of the broken wagoninto the ditch. The boys were off the track and the express whisked by, harming neither of themnor their playmate, but Mrs. Hess has her doubts about letting her little ones out of her sight in sole charge of even so faithful a friend as Lady generally proves herself to be. : ‘ WISDOM OF ANIMALS. Monkey Is Considered the Most Ime -telligent and Sheep and Buffalo -the Most Stupid, - The monkey is the most intelligent animal. Poodle dogs come next; then in order the Indian elephant, bear, lion, tiger, cat and otter. Ants, bees and spiders are more intelligent than horses and goats, and the wild rabbit has considerably more brain power than the camel. Tame rabbits come almost last in the list, and have less intelligence than the frog. The lowest form in the animal school is occupied by the nautilus, octopus, python, tame pigeon, deer, sheep, buffalo and bison. - The spider, for instance, will construct its web in almost any position, and if it cannot find any natural objeet to which it can attach the supports it will construct little weights of mud, and place them at the lower parts of the web to keep it in position. - Bees will construct their honeycombs in any place regularf; or irregularly shaped, and when theycome to any corners and angles they seem to stop and consider. Then they will vary the shape of the cells, so that the space is exactly filled. It could not be done more satisfactorily if the whole thing had been worked out on paper beforehand. Ants will construct hard and smooth roads, and will drive tunnels compared to which man's efforts in the same line are insignificant. .
