NOTHINO, at the present writing. Is
attracting more attention in the
shops, or making stronger appeal
to the feminine shopper, than the neck
wear offerings. ' Around the counter
where fancy bows, stocks and collars
are on display,- Interested groups of
women and girls may be found from the
opening hour until the shop doors close,
looking over the various items of the dis
play and discussing the smart novelties
which are just now in high favor.
Not for several seasons has Dame
Fashion gone to such lengths in the
matter of extravagance of style and ex
tremes of sizes in neckwear. Among
the very smartest offerings are the huge
bows of fine lace and muslin, or of
dainty embroidery with long frills and
"waterfalls," the outcome of the "Merry
Widow" craze; yet the other extreme
In size, running to the tiniest of natty
little bows, is also exploited as among
the very latest and smartest things on
display, and Intermediate sizes and
styles of dizzying variety each bid for a
share of popular favor.
For the "tailor-made girt." In the
crlspest of tailored shirts or shirtwaists,
there is the primmest of plain collars,
in any height which suits her fancy, and
the very severest of severe little tailored
bows that hook, man-fashion, over the
collar button, or the plain white tie,
with embroidered dots in color on the
tabs, if she desires, to be manipulated
by her own hands. For further variety,
she may choose from a dozen or so of
patterns in mannish stocks.
The "fluffy-ruffle" sort of girl has Just
as many and as varieu delights. Not
enly are there on display the daintiest of
lace and embroidery combinations, with
the long "waterfall" effect that lends
so much of dres3lnes3 to an otherwise
plain costume, but there are quaint con
ceit In outstanding ruffs, from the
tiniest and softest of widths to the
widest and fullest of collarette effect
One of these latter bits of neckwear Is
shown In picture No. 1. which is really a
stock of fine lace and Insertion, whale
boned high at the sides and back, and
with & wide plaited ruff of fine muslin,
edged with Valenciennes, at its lower
edge. For the piquant, round-faced
girl who con wear such things becom
ingly, this style of ruffed stock is par
ticularly dainty and Jaunty.
One of the elaborately embroidered ef
fects in the simpler style of collar is
shown in No. 2. The tendency towards
extreme heights at the sides and back U
demonstrated In this dainty little bit of
embroidery, which comes not only in
white, but in all the ilelicate colors.
One of the numerous patterns In linen
stocks is shown In picture No. 3. The
embroidered dots are of blue, upon white
linen. The shopper may suit her fancy
In the tint of these embroidered dots or.
If she prefers, the pattern may be
"fleur-de-lis" instead of dots.
One of the smart novelty bows ' for
wear with the stiff, up-standing collar,
is shown In picture No. 4. The offerings
include this style of bow tie In sizes
that run all the gamut from the tiniest
trifle that may be hooked over the collar
button to the huge "Merry Widow" size
that will prove popular only with young
school girls or the more eccentric - of
older women.
Another large bow tie, of linen and
embroidery, is shown In No. 5. In this
style the larger sizes are proving popu
lar even among the more conservative
of shoppers. The flaring, fluffy, snow
white bow of dainty, fine linen or muslin,
with the touch of fancy embroidery. Is
almost universally becoming, and ex
tremely dressy in appearance. This
style of bow Is usually worn with the
turned-down embroidered linen collar,
but may be worn with the lingerie waist,
In which case It is merely pinned at the
throat. When worn with a tailored
Jacket, these bows are particularly
smart.
BISHOP MOORE BIDS FAREWELL
TO METHODISTS OF NORTHWEST
Bound for New Field, He Writes Touching Message to Members of Church
in District He Supervised for Four Tears.
(A N THE3 cars, June 3, 1903," David
J H. Moore, for four years resident
bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church
at Portland, wrote a touching farewell to
Pacific Northwest Methodists, he hav
ing been transferred from this field to
Cincinnati by the general conference.
The bishop's good-bye words were sent
to the Pacific Christian Advocate and
were published in that paper last week.
Bishop Moore gives expression to
profound feelings of regret at leaving
Oregon, Washington, Montana and
Idaho, the special interests of which
he has for four years been supervising.
That he will never forget or lose in
terest in this field, he asserts, and de
clares he will ever champion the cause
of Northwest Methodism. He com
mends the church for its activity, but
calls attention to the danger of losing
frround by indifference, and calls upon
the membership to respond to the great
demands for spreading the gospel in
this region.
Bishop Moore's farewell message In
full follows: '
. Beloved: It is not easy to say good-bye
to the Northwest Pacific Conferences,
over which as resident bishop I have had
loving care for the past four years,
whether officially in charge of them or
absent on distant service.
The same authority which assigned me
to Portland and equally without any sug
gestion on my part, has now designated

Cincinnati as my residence. It does not
follow that I shall lose interest in Idaho,
Montana, Washington and Oregon; that
were Impossible. Their people. Institu
tions, needs and possibilities are mapped
about my heart. I am not conscious of
having omitted any duty toward them
which was In my power to render
though sincerely sorry that I had not
power to render fuller and better service
and. wherever I can, it shall be my
prayerful purpose to be their friend and
ally.
Four farewell words In briefest para
graphs: The basis of the church's prosperity
is the personal piety of Its members. All
the power of the gospel is circuited
through this. Prove me now herewith
is the Lord's challenge. With His spirit
In us, difficulties yield ana victory is
assured.
This is vitally related to every interest
Piety quickened, liberality, wisdom, en
terprise and zeal follow. Seek first this
kingdom.
No sacrifices are too great which will
free our church property of debt. Let
every member and friend of Methodism
take this to heart. - Some most important
properties are this moment in Jeopardy.
We must not lose them. Like unto this
is our need to be alert to meet every
expansion of city and country with the
appliances of the gospel.
What has been done for our educational
institutions should encourage us to do
more. Were they not deeded for any
other reason, their influence upon the
state Institutions make their support by
the church imperative. We cannot, we
dare not neglect our youth. Willamette,
Puget Sound and Montana Wesleyan are
enough of their class for years to come.
Concentrate upon them. Equip and en
dow them. Send them students. Pray
for them, and help them.
Tour noble efforts in its behalf have
saved the Pacific Advocate. Let this
quadrennium see it reach the goal of self
support. Pour In subscribers. Irrigate it
with news from the churches. Hold up
the hands of Its- editor. His Ideals are
high. Help him make your paer the
peer of the best. It will unify, Inspire
and lead our Pacific hosts.
The place you hold in the mind of the
church is shown by the character of the
great man sent by the general conference
to reside in your midst. Bishop Smith
will quickly grasp the situation and will
abundantly meet every reasonable de
mand and expectation. Wise in counsel,
prompt and prudent in administration,
able in exposition and defense of the
truth, he is at once man and master, a
true and kind-hearted brother and a calm
and indomitable leader.
Upon him and you all may God's rich
est blessing rest.
GERMANY BUYS PIGEONS
Takes Over Carrier-Doves Sold by
English Admiralty.
LONDON. June 20. (Special.) Wireless
telegraphy Is responsible for the fact
that thousands of carrier pigeons now
fed and cared for by the British govern
ment find their occupation gone and the
other day 600 of them from the lofts of
Gibraltar and Sheerness were sold at
auction at very low prices, although
many of them were veterans of the Boer
War, with splendid records. The reason
for the Admiralty disposing of the birds
is to be found in the agreement with the
Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company
and in the enactments of the Berlin In
ternational Wireless Telegraph Conven
tion of 1906, which come into force on
July 1 next.
Under the provisions of the conven
tion it is secured that as many as pos

It has caused some sensation that it
has been found that most of the pigeons
were brought up by agents representing
the German government. The birds will
be valueless for flying purposes, for as
soon as released they would Immediately
make a bee line for Gibraltar or Sheer
ness, but they are very valuable for
breeding, and many well-informed peo
ple axe of the opinion that in case of a
war the Government would regret hav
ing disposed of the birds, as there is no
wireless system in existence sufficiently
