UEW SPRING STYLES.

JACKET8 AND WRAPS THAT WITH FAVOR.

MEET

Bmt Latitude of Collars—A Stylish Gown of Brown Cashmere—The Brilliant and Soul Trying Purple—Early Spring Oar menti Detcribod.

[Special Correspondence

NEW YORK,March 8.—While some of fthe new things made and provided for this spring are silly and entirely too elaborate, there are still some |hings that are as solidly sensible as any one sou Id wish, and among them one may mention some of the wraps. One new •tyle is of thick booretted cheviot and is tnade in the shape of an ulster, falling from throat to feet in one unbroken line in front. The back is shaped to the figure. There are no sleeves, but a sort of half cape sewed in at the shoulder and falling over the arms. Square fancy jet

or carved bone buttons are placed In a double row upon the front, making it double breasted. Neat revers and flat collar are faced with silk and further ornamented with looped ornaments in heavy cord. If the coat is for everyday, marketing or common wear, it is not silk lined throughout. But if for steamer traveling, or for a sort of "surtout" —I do not dare call it "overall," its real name, for fear of excluding it from the art galleries, or at least one of them —it should be lined with silk of a good, solid quality. It is a most excellent, useful and even elegant wrap.

Next to that in point of style comes the new "mantle jacket." This in the model was of very thick ribbed velours in a plum so dark that it looked black in some lights. There is a tight jacket laid in a hollow plait at the back seam, where there were two rows of black astrakhan from top to bottom and a strap of the same across tho plait. Two rows of tho fur also were put down the front, which fastened invisibly.

There is groat latitude permitted in the shape of collars. Some of the chokers have flat collars sewed to their tops, which stand out straight all around. Some of these tire wide, some narrow, some are rounded, others pointed, some slashed, and others again are made into tabs. Some are half way around, some all the way. Some stand up in valois, Marie Stuart or medici style, and some are cut in Vandykes and scallops.

While brown is not the only fashionable color, it is a very popular one this spring, most particularly in tho warm wood and nut shades also the tobacco and seal. All except the tobacco, but ternut and seal have a definite tint of red in somewhere. One very odd but stylish gown of brown cashmere double was of a deep mahogany shado. Around the bottom of the skirt was a band of black grosgrain ribbon, with a row of very heavy mohair braid at the upper edge. The waist is almost indescribable. First was a wide black grosgrain belt and then a brick red vest, reaching only to the upper edge of the belt. This vest fastened with little gold buttons over another vest of maize taffeta, with a stock of the same. Then there was a short jacket of black, white and gray louisine check silk, unlined. This had a plaited frill at tho neck, stiffened and bound with the brick red silk. Over all this was a bolero of the cashmere, trimmed with the thick mohair braid. The sleeves were trimmed at the wrists quite as elaborately. Tho whole made a very pretty gown.

glaring purples and greens, and often reds, put together in the beet houses. One novel idea was found in a black armure silk with a bright purple overskirt, cut in a sort of tablier front, it being slanted upward at the back, to let the full skirt breadths fall over it The purple was of ribbed silk and had a wide bias band all around it. Tbe waist was made of the black, and so were tbe sleeves and the swiss belt, but there were folds of the purple brought down the front on each side, reaching under the belt and to a point in the center of the back. A saving grace was in thv plaited ivory colored frill at the neck. A puffed muff of black silk was carried with this, and at each end waa a frill of the silk mull, bound at the edge with narrow black velvet ribbon. Such are some of tbe early spring garments.

ON A SPECIAL TRAIN.

THE WAY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES ALWAYS TRAVELS.

Presidents Have Specials Thrust Upon Them—Reasons Why They Cannot Use Regular Trains Harrison Protested

Onee, but fielded to Authority. [Special Correspondence.] WASHINGTON, March 1.—President Elect McKinley came east on a special train over the lines of the Pennsylvania West and the Pennsylvania railroad. When he was governor, special cars were unknown luxuries to the major. He preferred the day coach.

But presidents and presidents electcannot, carry modesty to the point of risking life, and it would bo a risk of life for tho president elect to make his journey to the capital on a regular train. Leaving out of consideration the craukh win are always a menace to safety, there would be danger from the enora the train—danger to the president elect and to the people too.

Handling a president or a president' elect is ticklish business. An accident to him would hurt the railroad company beyond repair. That is why the president always travels in a special car and usually on a special train. He does net ask this luxury. The railroad company forces it on him.

When President Harrison was planning his trip to tbe Pacific coast, he sent for George W. Boyd, the assistant general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania road, who was a personal friend of many years' standing, and asked him to plan the excursion. He said he wanted to start on a certain day, to return on a certain day raid to visit certain cities en route. He expressly stipulated that he would not have a special train. "But, Mr. President," said Mr. Boyd in that engaging way which so endears him to his friends, "you cannot make the trip on regular trains."

President Harrison made a sweeping gesture with both arms. "I won have a special train," he said. "It is all very well to travel iy regular trains in the east, where trains run every half hour," said Mr. Boy«, "but when you have to tTavel over some line that runs only one or two trains a day you can't make the connections." "I don't want a special train, "said the president in his peculiarly obstinate way. And Mr. Boyd left him with hi. mind unchanged.

Beturning to Philadelphia, Mr. Bo»t sat down at his desk and with the time tables of all the railroads the president would use made up a schedule. He took the maximum running time of eacli road and fixed that as the minimum for the president's train. He marked the stops along the route. Then he sent telegrams to the general managers of al' the roads, asking each if he could hat a train between two given points it. a certain time for tbe president Every manager an -weird accepting the ached

Then Mr. Boyd bad the route car* fully drawn on a map and the schedule printed. Tbe next day he called at the White House and laid before the president the plan of the whole trip. The {Resident found fault with the length of the stops in certain places, hut Mr. Boyd showed him that every one of them was necessary. At last he said: "1 leave tbe whole matter in youi hands. You shall arrange the entire trip, and 1 promise not to interfere with your plan."

THE SOVEREIGN REMEDY.

Known to Man.

Dr. Greene's Cathartic Pills should be kept in the house, for they are the sure cure for biliousness and constipation. Sugar coated, easy to take, certain and pleasant to act.

Dr. Greene, 35 West 14th St.,New York City, who has the largest and most successful practice in the world, can be consulted free, per-

sonally or by letter. There is nothing to pay for consultation, examination and advice, and

Call for it and the low price of his wonderfully curative medicines places them within reach of everybody.

On the night of the departure from Washington the president, entering the station, saw a train of five splendid cars waiting for him. He made no comment nor protest against the special which he had been EO sure he did not want.

During the trip he offered no suggestions about the arrangements. Local committees, which urged him to stop over for a day at certain points, were referred to Mr. Boyd. Every detail of the original schedule was carried out. It called for the arrival of the party in San Francisco at 7:80 one evening, and on the evening of that day, as the ferryboat carrying the president's party entered the slip at San Francisco, the big illuminated clock on the ferry house showed that it was 7:80 to the minute. The return trip was made with tin same exactness, and after traveling nearly 10,00ft miles and making nior than 80 stops the president returned to Washington on the day and at the hour ho had appointed in his first conversation with Mr. Boyd. This accuracy was made possible by the fact that othei business was subordinated by the railroads, just as it was subordinated for President Elect McKinley.

When Mr. Boyd was here a few days ago, he told me that he had never met Major McKinley. He will not be long in getting acquainted with him probably, for one of the responsibilities of Mr. Boyd for many years past has been the traveling arrangements of the president of the United States. He accompanied President Harrison on almost all of his travels, and he has been with President Cleveland more than once.

President Cleveland has done very little traveling. He has run up to New York occasionally. But most of his time has been spent in Washington, or on what Mr. Dana of New York is pleased to term "the floral and arboreal fleet" belonging to the lighthouse service.

Hayes was a great traveler. Arthur was not Harrison moved about a good deal. McKinley has accepted already one invitation to journey to a big convention, and I think it quite likely he will emulate the example of Hayes and Harrison and be conspicuous at Grand Army meetings and other gatherings when the work at the White House will permit. GEORGE GRANTHAM BAIN.

Beaming With Smiles

Are the countenances of people who have found speedy and thorough relief from ma lartal, kidney, bilious, dyspeptic or nervous troubles through the aid of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Such countenances are very numerous. So are letters from their owners attesting the efficacy of tbe great family medicine. Among the signals of distress thrown out by the stomach, bowels and liver in a state of dlsordgi^re sick headache, heartburn, nausea, loss of appetite, sallowness of tbe skin and eyeballs, and an uncertain state of the bowels. They should be heeded at once. If the Bitters are resorted to. the woe bosone look which accompanies sickness will give way to cheerful looks pr duced by renewed health. If yon are drifting on the coast of disease, throw an anchor to windward by summoning the Bitters to your assistance, It will keep you in safety.

Tacks.

Tucks have long been considered a simple trimming far childish gowns, says a New York fashion writer, but fashion is doing her utmost to insist that tucked skirts, tucked bodices sleeves, »uv v^tirely suitable for women passed their second, thin men their fourth decade. Skirts for the spring and summer will bo tocIrM to above the knees, or otherwise will be tucked on the upper instead of the lower part of the skirt. If near the hem, the tucks are moderately wide. About the hips tbey are nan#

rower, and, as a rule, the plaits are laid perpendicularly. The horizontally tucked skirt, bodice, yoke and sleeves with which we ore now growing familiar date back to tbe gowns of 1827 and 1887, and in histories of dress we see illustrations of t£is style in very early Victorian fashions. A pretty velvet sleeve on a model for an Easter gown is out in one piece throughout, being sufficiently wide at the top to simulate a small puff on the shoulders. Four or five graduated longitudinal tuoks are arranged at this part of the sleeve. Below, the fullness is sloped to the arm, and at the wrist fits tightly and then expands into a pointed oalla shaped cuff.

Ladl"** Clnba In London.

Tne rise of ladies' clubs in England is a fact that the sooial historian cant afford to overlook, for it is a sign of the timea The division of labor between the two sexes is no longer summed up by Eingsley's line,

Men most work and women mast weep, sinoe women work, too, nowadays, and hence have less time and occasion for weeping. Then the old fashioned pleading, 'Poor dear, he works so hard all day! He muct have some amusement in the evening,'' is gradually disappearing before the consciousness that women, too, have a right to a little fun when their day's work is over. So the British matron and the English girl have started clubs for themselves, and London is growing full of them. Far be it from me, however, to suggest that fun and frivolity are the keynotes of these institutions. They have various aims to suit various needs, and, as the modern English woman is inclined, on the whole, to be serious, she is apt to combine an aim and a mission with her amusement. As a result, many of the ladies' clubs have what might be described as an object, with a capital O, which justifies the members in their own eyes in partaking of their comforts and advantages. —Miss Alice Zimmern in Forum.

Overskirts.

The overskirt has returned, although as yet there are no double skirts, but a skirt distinct from the one beneath it except where it is sewed in at the waist. It is made in thin materials, black having the preference, or, for ball gowns white, sometimes embroidered, some times merely edged with a blue ruohe, the newest starting from the knee with a full gathered flounoe to the hem. The most curious freak of fashion is that the skirts beneath are often checked or brocaded.

White frocks and floral trimmings are relegated to the debutante and other youthful women. Satin remains a favorite material for brides' dresses and lace the fashionable garniture. Necklaces of pearls and diamonds are worn by brides. Considerable latitude is allowed in the matter of maids of honor, bridesmaids, pages, eta Occasionally there will be a maid of honor and no bridesmaids. Sometimes the English fashion of train bearers is followed.— New York Advertiser.

Ten American Women.

We have received the following request for knowledge: To the Editor of Tho Sun:

SIR—The names of what ten American women will live longest in history? MAVFLOWER.

The selection of a list of ten American women whose names have reached fame is not easy, but we'll experiment: Martha Washington, Prisoilla Alden, Rebeooa Rolfe (Pooa- Eliza Qooee (Mother hontas), Molly Pltoher, Elizabeth Blackwell, Elizabeth Cady Stanton,

Goose),

The deeds and circumstances which made these women known above the majority of their sisters lie in an extremely interesting field of historical investigation. We offer their names with high regard for their title to the place assigned, but with frank acknowledgment that there may be others.—New York Sun.

Street-car drivers and others who are contantly exposed to all kinds of weather, and cannot find time to lay by, should ever bear in mind this plain fact that Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup cures coughs and colds. It is unequalled.

Dead In Love.

Miss Manchester—Do you know that after Ellen refused Mr. Esplanade he actually committed suicide?

Miss Monterey—Really? Dead in love writh her, isn't he?—Pittsburg Chron-icle-Telegraph.

Whiskers that are prematurely gray or faded shoud be colored to prevent the look of age, and Buckingham's Dye excels all others in coloring brown or black.

When an old bachelor dies and leaves all his money to the woman who wouldn't marry him when she was a girl it is generally out of gratitude.

Game of Legislative Decay. All the great modern democracies have to oontend almost for existence against the popular disposition to treut elective offices as representative and fo consider it of more importance that they should be filled by persons holding certain opinions than by persons most competent to perform their duties. The distinction between representing and administering seems plain enough, and yet the democratic tendency has been everywhere since the French revolution obscure it. This has not unnaturally led to the idea that the offices are rewards for the persons who have done most to propagate or defend the views which they represent and ought to be given to them independently of their fitness. To this confusion of two distinct functions I must ascribe the deterioration which has been remarked so frequently in tbe legislatures of all democratic countries in modern times. The number of n. of experience or special knowledge as well as of conspicuous men which they contain seems to decline steadily, while the interests committed to their charge as steadily seem tt increwe.

This disregard of special fitness, combined with the unwillingness to acknowledge that there can be anything special about any man, both of which are born of equality," constitutes the great defect of modern democracy.—E. L. Godkin in Atlantic.

A Decided Innovation.

A decided innovation was made at the recent dinner of the Fine Arts federation in New York in having ladies present. This invasion of the gentler sex was due to the fact that some women who are members of some of the constituent societies, and as such received invita tions, wrote to the dinner committee to know "if any who were not men could come." There being no valid reason for a negative answer, the news spread rap idly, and the result was that two long, transverse tables on each side of the central one whioh were set apart for women and their escorts were soou filled, and later comers of the fair sex overflowed to the tables in the less important side galleries. The innovation was voted a decided success, and as the menu bore the inscription, "Annual Dinner," it is probable that the new custom has oome to stay. Public banquets at which both men and women are present, however, though new in this country, have been a feature of English social life for three or four years.—New York Letter.
