New York correspondence: A STING nbout for novelty, n few fashionable worn i'ii have settled on the princess cut ns n medium that will be distinctive. This cut la always present, but just nuw Is nut often used. With Bet tied warm weath er, It Will bo HL'Oll In gowns for after noon, evening and Ciinlcn parties. Most of these prin cess drcBsus will be of handsome material, very sheer, usually over silk of the snmc shade, or of a color to contrast. Knife pleated flounces, tucking, smocking, shirring and free trimming with lace ami ribbon enter Into their make-up. Ilodices have a pleated or tucked yoke of chiffon or silk mull or n yoke of all-over embroidery or lace. White broadcloth beautifully sten cilled out Is a much liked material for NEW STYLES IN PLAIDS princess gowns. A handsome model gown was Ivory white broadcloth, skirt and bodice handsomely stencilled and out lined with very fine silk cord and lloss. The yoke was tucked white chiffon, sleeve puffs matching, and the crushed belt was pale blue velvet ribbon. Such n gown may be used for dressy occasions nnd Is expensive. -Silk crepe de chine, both plain and self-ligured. Is liked for this style of gown. One example of its use appears In to-day's small picture.

The plaids are very lare and In delicate tli)ts, much the same lu general charac ter as those that were used some six years ago. It is not likely that they will . come Into general favor, yet thvy are safely stylish. Foi fall,' dernier women, they are. not unbetMralng. Usually they are made over laa foundations, aud are irlnWd with los and Insertion, ribbon edging many rutiles. At the left in the next picture U a vhlte dimity plalded with green and pink, and trimmed with cream lace and black velvet. Some of these dresses have yokes of tucks and in sertion, while others are made with rath er fancy shlff waists trimmed with un pllque bands of lace or LatUte Insertion and embroidery. Many separate sulrt waists are made of these material, smalj blocks being chosen usually. While most of the drees of lan?e plaids wem Tcry pretty, small checks seem Ukely to be more generally worn than these plaids will be. The checks usually are of taffeta or Loulslne silk, and are mado 10 I.' I up In shirt waist costumes, sepnrnt skirts or separate bodices. Dust cloaks made of such material are trimmed with' bands of crimson velvet. . . td In all the white dresses worn tins summer, aud they are many, simple ones are fount); or, if they exist, make so faint an Impression that they are not remembered. That's the sauiu to an ambitious woman as no gown at all, so stylish white dresses often are i rarely complex, and usually show plainly ' the results of much work and outlay. ' Two of them were sketched for the sec- j ond picture. That in the middle of the sketch was white veiling, Irish crochet lace, black and white silk braid und ocean blue velvet. The other was white lawn, tucked as indicated and trimmed with white Mechlin lace. Its bolt was corn colored Loulslne satin. The blue of the other gown's belt is n new blue-green. There is. a new violet, too, with the un lovely name scabias. Roth arc delicate tints and look well when elaborately trim med with white lace. They are frying, however, to all but fair complexions. A noticeable point about a brand now form of blouse bodice If that at the back It falls over a medium wide belt, the fullness not as pronounced as In front. Tills Is the" cut to have when the mate rial Is very thin and soft, and the llgure will permit. Another fancy that has come In with recent models is a large, soft bow of black or colored silk directly In front at the bust. Hand embroidery, fancy stitches of all sorts and applique work of every description are more In evidence as summer gowns of muslin, AND CLEAR WHITE. linen nnd veiling come to the front. A simple muslin can be made to look beau tiful under this treatment. Embroidery, lace and tucks work wonders In this simple fuhrle, too. Then there are hand painted silk muslins in urtlstically tinted designs made up hi the most ellborate way. Very lovely nre some garden and lawn party gowns. White silk batistes are elaborately decorntod all over with various designs In straight Hues, how knots or lattice work medallions wrought hi very narrow lace insertion.

I President Hoosevelt's Industrious As slstant Secretary. Ono of the best examples of what a young man of Character nnd ability ran do la this country Is furnished by the ' ,. brief career, not yet endril, however, of William Loeb, Jr., nsslBtnnt sccrctnry to President Rooso volt. Mr. Loeb Is n na 1 1 v o of Albany, N. Y.f where lie who born on Oct. 0, 1800 Of Gorninn descent, his patents were o o r n n d he was WILLIAM LOUII. Jit. 0,,1glH, t0 , c v c school when 12 years old to assist In supporting the family. Good fortune attended him, however, and nfter tfio lapse of two years ho wus euabled to return to school nnd complete Ills cdu cation. As soon as he had left school lie took up the study of shorthand, and was for two years In a law otllce. Ho became Interested In politics and wna n member of the Republican county committee Immediately nfter reaching his majority, lie became so well known In local politics nt the State capital that in 18S8 ho was put forward ns a candi date for official stenographer of the New York Assembly, and was elected by a skillful handling of his forces. For bov ernl years he wns connected with tho stenographic force nt the State cnpltol. In 18S0 and 1800 he was secretary to J. Slont Fassett, who wns president pro tcm. of the State Seuntc, nnd he nccom- panted Mr. Fnssett when 'the latter toured tho State d'urlng his canvass for Governor. In 1804 Mr. Loch wns ono i jr JSL of tho corps of stenographers reporting bo as helpless ns wo of the cities and tho, debates of the constitutional con-, towns nshero would bo without the ventlon nnd had n hand In nroimrliitf.Poatmnii and tho postoillco. the olllclal records. He wns secretary for Speaker Malhy nnd later for Lieu tenant Governor Sitxton. From 1807 to 1890 ho was the grand Jury stenog-' rnpher of Albany County.

Melbourne has always been tho larg est city of Australia, In Its phenome nal growth It can bo compared only with Chicago and Sah Francisco. In 1835 It had a nmno and fourteen In habitants; In 18 t contained -151,000 persons. Gold made Melbourne. For ten consecutive years the gold mines from sixty to one hundred miles to the north and northwest produced over $r0,000.000 of gold every year. Tho many thousands of men required to mine this treasure bought their money there. The city faced to tho north where tho mines were; Its hack door wns on .the sen. Itut tho gold mines of Victoria hnvo lost their old Importance. They nro still productive, hut their yield is far Inferior to that of the desert mines of western Australia. Melbourne Is slow ly losjug the largest resource that made her great, and the wool and wheat trade Is tint likely to fully com pensate her for the declining mining Interests. Tho city was said In 1801 to hnvo -100,800 population. Including the suburbs. Five year later oply -131, 000 persons were counted lu the city and its environs. The decllno lu population Is proba bly only temporary, for Victoria Is a very rich little state, Many miners hnve been drawn away by more natter ing prospects elsewhere, hut they will gradually bo replaced by permanent settlers. ' Tho great city, however, seems des tined soon to loso Its preeminence. Sydney Is steadily Increasing lu popu lation; by the last census It was only 41000 under Melbourne's figures. Syd ney Is growing, while Melbourne Is scarcely Holding lier own. l Here nro a number of reasons why Sydney will probably forgo ahead and permanently maintain Its lend among Australian cities.

A small yncht-llko whlto steamer dances over tho dwells of tho Detroit River to meet nnd exchnugo messages and salutes with every one of the pass- Ing ships p lltttle midget servant to thla enormous commerce. Without this tIny steamer tho lako commcrco would T1 tremendous ndvanco In shipping facilities on tho Great Lakes In recent years has been duo to tireless Ameri can enterprise, fostered by generous appropriations by tho government In aids to navigation-, so when tho need of this little messenger presented It self, tho Washington authorities wcro not slow In making tho experiment lending to Its adoption. ' This method of handling United States mall Is tho only ono of Its kind in existence, and tho Idea of a floating postoillco that successfully delivers and receives mall to and from ships at full spcod Is only another Illustration of tho wonders and far-reaching bene fits of our wideawake postal system. Tho books of tho United States Treas ury Department In Washington now contain the names of nearly 4,000 ships that constltuto t.ils Great Lakes ma rine. Tho fresh-water sailors to whom this fleet Is Intrusted would, In num bers, mnko tho population of a largo city. They nre, therefore, fairly en titled to somo means of communication with their homes and families In tho States bordering tho lakes, and with friends far away, and tho llttlo white steamer performs this scrvlco ns per fectly as can bo desired. Reforo the establishment of this de livery It wns dllllcult to send letters to any one aboard ship, although Niaga ra's wail confined tho movement of vessels to tho Grcnt Lakes, and their voyages unci; nnd forth were past the shores of eight States, with a popula tion of 20.000,000, and their ports of call Included six cities of over 100,000 population each. This may seem strange, bpr It Is easily explained by the fact that tho greater number of lako steamers "run wild." GETTING. AT A WITNES8.

Still greater bewilderment on the part of the witness, "I usk you." said Jeffrey, speaking with great particularly, "do you con sider tho man perfectly rational V" Tho mau glowered with amazement, scratched his head, and remained speechless, "Let mo tackle him," said Cockhurn. tltcu adopting his broadest Scotch.
