Jim" Junes, the 82-year-old negro,
who had been JelTerson Davis' body

of the Confederacy was entrusted, re
tained on the Senate payroll as a laborer.
Senator Heyburn acquiaced in the
retention of the negro for services
formerly given to the senate, but not
because of loyalty to an "infamous
cause."
"Hut for the parliamentary rules
that restrain me," declared Williams,
"I would have a few word to say
about the kind of human being in
whose heart such thought can exist."
Senator Williams added with great
feeling that he waa "not prepared to
hear a civilized man in the 20th cen

cauae for which his (Williams) father
had laid down his life.
"There is no right of American cit

Washington, I). C, July 11. An
inquiry into Alaska's industrial devel

the Hallinger-Pinchot investigation,
will be interrogated tomorrow by the
house committee on expenses of the
Interior department.
Instead of having Miss M. F. Ab
bott tell the story of her discovery of
the famous "Dick to Dick" letter,
the committeejwill examine govern
ment otlicials on the general condition
of the territory.
It is planned to call G. H. Brooks,
Alaskan head of the geological sur
vey, as a witness. He will be fol
lowed by witnesses from the War de
partment, which controls the leasing
of water fronts in that country.
The possible connection of C. P.
Taft with the subject is to be subor
dinated for the time being. The com
mittee will endeavor to find out if the
Guggenheim interests, when deleat in
the so-called Cunningham claims to
the great coal fields of Alaska seemed
inevitable, umk-rtook to a-ssert control
of the coal deposits by monopolizing
the entrances lo the interior of Alas
ka, if recognition of the Kyan entries
would effect this.
It is for this purpose that the com
mittee has invited experts on Alaskan
minerals and the coast line to testify
as to the conditions in the neighbor
hood of Controller bay. The inquiry
roay require many days. Other than
recognizing the absolute freedom of
the president from congressional in
quiry, It is said lonigni no nmimiiuiio
would be placed on the inquiry.

Canadian reciprocity bill emerged un

Carolina, all seeking to increase the

The vote in Tfavor of the amend

Cummins asked for only five roll calls,
although he had announced his inten

maximum vote for his tariff amend

R1FLK3 In fashion count
for a good deal these days.
It la at the seaaon of the
year when all manner of
clever things are Invented
to catch the eye of those
who congratulate themselves that
their shopping Is finished. This Is a
ruse of the merchants to empty the
purse of the buyer.
business must proceed, even though
the weather la hot and vacation time
Is at hand. Also the dressmakers
swing the fashions around, here and
there, to Interest their patrons and to
get away from routine. In the first of
the season, when the new clothes are
brought over from Paris, the models
are copied by the hundred to an
alarming extent. Now It Is time to In
troduce Innovations, and so we see
quaint and attractive things In every
gathering of women. It might be said
with truth and emphasis that the pub
lic Is responsible for this variety of
fashions more than the dressmaker..
It Is hard to get one of the latter
to depart from the French moaeis or
the crinoline patterns which she has
In the workroom. If she Is thrown on
her own resources she can do remark
ably good designing, but for some rea
son that she does not explain she
never gives herself a chance for Indi
vidual experiment. No matter how
many patrons she has. she follow, for
each a model that she brought from
ahmad If she la a blK Importer, or
she copies a sketch In a fashion book
If she Is a little dressmaker.
Blue Serge Gowns.
It Is rather wonderful to observe
the popularity of the one-piece suit of
thin blue serge. It has been amazing
ly developed in the last four weeks,
and has all manner of Individual
touches that make it worth while. It
Is a good kind of gown for every
woman to Include In her wardrobe.
It may not stand for any one occasion,
but may serve for half a hundred. It
Is just this kind of gown that is avail
able for all changes of climate and
unexpected trips.
It can be worn with or without a
coat, and In many ways pays for Itself
over ana over.
The favorite model Is an Empire
skirt, more or less wide at the hem.
according to our new measurements,
which run from a yard and a half to
two yards and a quarter. The panel
down the back is rarely eliminated
and the fastening is In front. There
may be folds of the serge or surah or
taffeta, either In blue or black, to cut
off the length, and If one is averse to
a narrow skirt, fashion allows an In
serted box plait at each side from
hips down.
The skirt, rising moderately on the
bodice. Is stitched to It with three
rows of machine stlching. It Is hung
on a four-Inch band of silk belting,
which Is fastened with books and eyes
In front. The bodice is also attached
to this belting, which preserves a neat
look around the waist, although the
skirt does not curve in to fit. The cut
of the bodice Is much fuller than It
has been. The short kimono sleeves
are used and the underarm seam Is
long, but there are tucks or plaits that
run over the shoulder, or begin at the
waist and make for fullness over the
bust and under arms. The arrange
ment of the neck Is a matter of Indi
vidual preference, and there Is al
ways an undersleeve. or the sliuulta
tlon of one at the elbow.
One of the most attractive of these
suits worn by a girl who know, how
to dress has a plain skirt with panel
down front and back, and a five lncj
hom of the material finished with
rows of black silk stitching. It Is
about three Inches hlsher than the
normal waist line and curved very
slightly at the sides. The bodice Is
folded In to It, stitched down, and has
long wedge of white mallne net In
the shape of a vest that runs into a
high-boned stock.
Cotton-FlBured Net.
One of the materials that have come
Into being at the beginning of the hot
weather Is the figured cotton net that
we had WHO us aeveini seasons gu.
it Is usually In blue and white, al
though one can find It In two or three
olher color combinations. Blouses are
made of It to wear over low silk
slips or fine muslin corset cover, run
through with colored ribbon.
These net blouses, you know, are
unite the fashion and are immensely
popular for warm days, with suits
that have a dressy atmosphere. Some
women wear them In the morning
with plain linen suits, but they look
,n ore fit In the afternoon or for lunch
eon. The coarse figured one. are made In
kimono style or with the revived
armhole and shoulder seam. They
have a double-plaited frill down the
front, finished with a hem of blue net
or cluny lace, and are fastened with
white crochet buttons down the front
The high collar Is made In fold, with
a turnover band at the top of heavy
lace. The sleeves are finished with a
ttaht folded cud fastened with cro
chet button at the back.
The net I also used for over
drapery. It takes the place In some
gowns of cblffon cloth or marquisette.
One good-looking gown Is of very thin
blue messallne made with a plain em
pire slip with the net draped Into a
long tunic which open. In front, baa
the right side crossed well over the
left, and Is bordered with a half Inch
plaiting of blue satin ribbon, which
matches the figure In the net.
The short-walsted bodice la unusu
ally full for these days, has a deep,
round gulmpe of thin French lac
which only extend, to the collar bone.
The empire girdle I. made from three
band, of box plaited ribbon finished
with a twisted circle of blue ribbon In
front and two long ends. There are
undersleeves of lace which hang fre
of the elbow and are shaped to a
rounded point at the back, and the up
ner aloevea of the figured net are
edged with the plaited blue ribbon.
As an economical suggestion It
would be well to think of this net as a
covering for an evening gown that
needs repairing and that has seen Ita
beat day.. Stripped of it gewgaw
and reduced to a simple slip. It could

be covered with figured net at small
expense. One small point would be
wise for every woman to remember,
that the drapery of today does not
come to the foot line of the lower
skirt. It stops about six Inches
above. It Is usually looped up In some
fashion at 'the side and is often fin
ished with a three-inch band of col

It has been repeated so often that
all white wash frocks are not In first
fashion, that one is apt to become
tiresome by referring to it. However,
it seems worth while to say that a
compromise has been effected be
tween fashion and tradition by the In
vention of charming gowns of white
voile and marquisette which have all
the earmarks of the best lingerie
frocks and are trimmed with dashing
lines of color to give them a novel
efTect.
There seems no end to the fashion
for eyelet embroidery, and It Is used!
more on voile and marquisette than
on muslin, possibly because one see
more of the former fabrics man or
the latter. Plain white wash material
1. not even used for everyday frocks.
It has given way to striped muslins
In violet and white, brown and ecru,
black and white, blue and white.
There are many other combinations,
both In stripes. In pin dots and In
ctrcles, and one sees a dozen of these
gowns to one of the old fashioned
plain white lawn.
