a day or two, tlie Administration is

within that time there will lie news
from IVfcln, of a eliaraeter ti soothe

from an American point of view. The

A BALL DRESS AT HONG KONG
Plight of an Anjcrican Girl Who Had
to Get One in a Hurry.
Dressmaking in ' I long Kong is not
one of the industries for which the
city 1st famous, but that it is possible
to get a gown there under pressure
was shown by the experience of an
American gin last spring. She was
making a tour of the world with lief
family and the woman had discarded
evening dress after leaving San Fran
cisco. satisfied that they would Iiave
no need of any such garments In the
Orient. With the idea of reducing
the amount of the luggage the trunks
containing their evening gowns wert
shijMMl back from San Francisco ami
they proceeded without them.
But. no more than a few hours af
ter f bey had reached Hong Kong an
evening gown !egan to seem a sharp,
'nimliato necessity to the young
woman or the party. She had met
by chance an old friend, who came:
across the American family as it was
gronied in the centre of the baggage
In lite corridor of the hotel. They
were intimate enough not to recrard
the abruptness of this meeting as em-.
ba missing. An the other band, the-
young .woman and her American
friend were immediately In such close
conversation that she had to be no
tified twice that the rest of the party
nau moveti on to tne suite set aside.

she was a particularly attractive iiee-
imen or her Kind, to see the same
phase of existence there that was in
teresfing him.
ITiat she was certain to d I him
credit hat! its effect in increasing his
desire to Introduce her. .There was to
le a cotillon that night at the Eng
Usli club. He had told her. of it al
ntot as soon as their first greetings
were over and he wanted tier-, to go
with him. He would have card- sent
to her and her mother ami one of
the Lngbyh women, who was to act
as a chaperon. Would call on her during-the
day. All questions of eti
quette were thus" satisfactorily set
tled. , But the evening gown was lack
ing and there seemed no way to "over
come that obstacle. That discourag
ing announcement marked the end of
the meeting, but they were soon to
-see each other again, and the young
American settled himself for calm de
iilerat'ou of the subject after he had
written the letters which- were to se
em e the - Invitations ami the visit
from the chaperon. '
The young iuan advised her to go In
any gown she happened to have He
was perfectly certain that she would
look all right in a travelling dress,
that everylwxly would understand
bow she happened to I plahilv
drcKSf-d, and he addctl that he bad
perfect confidence in her looking I tet
ter than any other girl there, what
ever she happened to wear. And
then he assured her that there were
a great many attractive girls to be
there. He even went so far as to sng
get that she mfght decorate herself
in something Chinese, If she couldn't
find anything else.
This last suggestion led to the
thought that there might after all
be an evening dress of European
mode for sale In Hong Kong. That
Idea had not occurred to either of
them .before. It was noon when they
reached It. To find an evening gown,
by that Dight seemed an Impossibility.
But they had youth and determina
tion on their side. Inquiry at the
hotel brought out the encouraging
news that there was a French woman
in the city who imported gowns. It
was not five minute after this newa
that the girL her mother and the
American cavalier were looking for
the shop. They found it after a
while, and the young man cooled his
heel at the door, after seeing that
the two were talking to a little dark
eyed, gray-haired French woman, who
spoke very little English - and relied
on the services of her British hus
band as interpreter, rather than trust
to the French of her visitors.-
Yes. she j had gowns. Tra veUing
gowns, of , course, she- supposed the
ladies f wanted. No? .Why, then, it
must le a light silk or an organdie
for a garden party. A luall dress, was
It, that the two wanted? She, had
some, only two or three, but for
which of the ladies was it? For
niaxla me, whose figure was beautiful,
but somewhat heavier than made
moiselle's, or for mademoiselle her
self? She was afraid that most of
her small stock was rather the size
for madame than for her slender',
graceful daughter. Most of the Wives
of the officers stationed at Hong
Kong were a little bit stout, but she
would show what she had. i
Then were produced lialf a dozen
Pari ball 1 gowns, stamped with
names of well-known makers. They
were not more than a season liehind
the styles and were not bad spec-
linens of the model dress of commerce
that is sent out from Paris over the
civilized and half-civilized, world.
But only one of them was anything
like an approximate fit for the slin
American girL Tlie dressmaker had
told the truth. They were all very
much lntter suited to her mother than
to her. 'One gown only was possible
in any way. It was of pale blue
satin and the skirt , might have Iieen
made I for her while none of the oth
er came within six inches of the
ground. But the waist was as little
suited to her as the other had leeu.
The heroine "of this episode did not
projiose to !o baffled at this Lite hour.
She proposed; to, the dresmaker that
a new waisC; te made immediately.
The woman gasjied, said something
about tho rapidity of Americans, and
then threw the burden of the conver-.
satfou on her husband's shoulders.
He was called upon to explain that
tr-ore was no more of the material in
the place. . I The explanation that
white lace would do just as well had
to be translated to the modist. She
produced lace which was exactly
suited to the purpose. Before five
minutes had passed the woman was
taking the -girl's, measure.: Then her
two associates, a French woman ami
a native sewing girl, were called In.
Both looked astonished when they
heard what the terrible' American ex7
pecteil. But half aa hour later they
were at work.
Three times during tbei afternoon
thfr girl returned. At she left her
maid there to help put on the finish

(From Ifcilly Statesman. July 2S.:.
The press dispatches yesterday morn
ing contained a most cheering item for
the friends of the Oregon State Fair,
in that they reported the determina
tion of the Southern l'aciflc Company
to carry free of freight charges, all ex
hibits intended for the Oregon Stat
Fair this year. This lilierality on the
part of the Southern Iaci fie Conipa uy
will be highly appreciated by the cit
izens of Oregon in general and ese
cially by the friends of tlie Fain. In
discussing this matter yesterday morn
ing, , the Portland Oregonian has the
following to say:
The Southern Pacific Compauy set
a mark yesterday for lilierality !whea
it offered to carry exhibits to . and
from the coming State Fair free, j Thi
action came in the following lejter;

"One of Its direct results will ilo the
largest exhibit of tlie products of
WTestern Oregon ever brought together
in one place. Perhaps it is not Igener-'

Douglas county, also, will make an
exhibit. j
WIth the cost of ."transportation
wiod out by the broad spirit of lhe
railroad company, it may reasonably
be expected that these exhibits will lo
much larger and. more comprehensive
than if there wen? freight bills to pay.
"Then. too. the action of the raib'oad
company equalizes distance, so that-

can lie represented at the Stab? Fair
on quite as favorable terms as Afbairy
