My little six-months old'girl had Eczema.
We used all kinds of remedies, but she kept
getting worse. I used to wrap her hands up,
and to dress her, had to put her on the table.
I could not hold her, she would kick and
scream, and, when she could, she would tear
her face and arms almost to pieces. Four
boxes of CurrconA (ointment), two cakes of
CUTICURA SoAr, and Concern Rnsonvnnr
cured her, and no traces are left.. _

Senator Gray Finally Consents to
Become a Member.
HAS GENERAL Arrnovnr
His Declination to Serve Reconsidered on
the Presidents Request. Commissioners
to Meet in Washington to Receive In-
Itructions. Mr. Gray will Retire from
the Anglo—American Commission.
Washington, Sept. 10.—-—It. is officially
announced that Senator Gray of Dela-
ware had been selected by the presi-
dent as the fifth member of the Paris
Peace commission. This completes the
personnel of the commission, which is
as follows“! Secretary of State Day,
Senators Davis, Frye and Gray and
Whitelaw Reid, editor of the New York
Tribune. In selecting Senator Gray,
the president,“ has given Democratic
representation on the commission. The
appointment probably will necessitate
the retirement of Mr. Gray from the
Anglo-American commission, which is
conducting its sessions in Quebec, as
this commission will resume its work
about the time the peace commission-
ers sail for Paris.
The position was ofEeTed to Senator
Gray several days ago, but at that time
was declined. The president, however,
further urged Mr. Gray to accept, and
his final agreement was secured yes-
terday. On foreign questions, Mr. Gray
has generally been regarded as 0p-
posed to expansion, his Senate votes
having been against the annexation of
Hawaii.
Now that the commission is complete
It is expected that the American case
will be made up, and the commission
be given its final instruction. The com-
missioners will meet here about Sep-
tember 15, prior to sailing for Paris, at
which time they will meet the president
and be made aware in a general way
of the views of the administration.
The announcement of Senator Gray’s
name was made soon after the cabinet
met. Acting Secretary Moore was cal-
led to the White House during the
meeting and the final decision was then
announced. Senator Allison and other
public ‘ men who were at the White
House at the time expressed strong ap-
proval oil-the selection.
Senator Gray is one of the best
known men in public life, having been
a prominent figure in the Senate for
the last twelve years. He was born at
Newcastle, Delaware, in 1840, and was
graduated from Princeton. ~He served
as attorney general of Delaware and
was later appointed to. the Sends when
Thomas F. Bayard entered the first
Cleveland cabinet as secretary of state.
Mr. Gray has been in the Senate con-
tinuously since then, serving with dis-
tinction, being one of the recognized
forces in debate and in the shaping of
Important legislation. He is a mem-
ber of the Senate committee on foreign
relations, thus making three members
of that committee Senators Davis, Frye
and Gray, on the peace commission.
GENTSHAFTER’S MOfiEMENTS.
A Report. that He h to thuvnto H1
Command on the Pacific Coa‘st. '
Washington, Sept. 10.rGen. Shatter
has expressed his wish to the secretary
of war that when the department com-
manders arefsent to posts, he would
prefer to have his old command, the
department of California.
It is probable that it will be given
him, but such action will be a long
time in the future, as the organization
of the army upon its old basis is not
likely to take place for some time.
‘.
San Francisco,
has the following:
General Shatter is expect-d in San
Francisco in about two weeks. He has
applied to be assigned to his old com-
mand, the department of California,
and it is generally expected that his re-
quest will be granted. in that event,
Colonel Babcock, now on his way to
San Francisco fromdz'anila, will be
made adjutant general, having filled
this place under General Shaftcr’s pre-
vious administration of this depart—
ment. '
Sept. log-WThe Call
Colored Troops for the Philippines.
Norfolk, Va., Sept. 10.—-Colored troops
are to be sent to the Philippine islands.
Information to that effect has been re-
ceived here from Camp Corbin, where
there are several hundred negro vol—
unteers from Virginiax They compose
the infantry branch and are very well
drilled and equipped.
They are to do garrison duty around
Manila, and it is said will sail soon.
The troops have received orders to go
to Knoxville, where it is presumed they *-
will take trains for the Pacific crust
and embark at San Francisco.
Sternberg Consulted by the Enesldent.
Washington, Sept. 10.——0ne of the
first callers the president had. yester;
day was Surgeon General Sternberg of
the army. It was understood that 'the
visit of General Sternberg had some
relation to the proposed commission
investigate the war department.
ome prominent surgeon is expected
to be a. member of the commission, and
the surgeon general was called 31 con-
sultation as to some man especially.
fitted for the duty.
Stringent Measures for Crete.
Canea, Island of Crete, Sept. 10.—
The admirals of the foreign powers,
replying to the protests .of the Cretan
executive committee against the re-
cent massacres, have declared that they
will recommend that their respective
governments solve the question defl-
nitely by the. removal of the Turkish
troops from the Island of Crete, and
the appointment of a governor to be
selected by‘ the powers. .
Ex-Sccrctlry Bayard Weaker,
Dedham, Mass, Sept. '10.—Thomas F.
Bayard was very weak this morning.
but there was no other change from
his previous condition, which was not
nearly so favorable as that of twenty-
four hour’s ago.
Mr. Bayard's physician reported his
condition still unchanged this, after“-
noon. He is taking very little nourish-
ment. '

BLACK CLOTH AUTURIN COSTF'V‘E ERG}?! HARPER'S BAZAR
Black Autumn Costume.
A new gown of light-weight cloth in
black, now so stylish for autumn wear,
is rendered very striking by the addi-
tion of a fancifully cut velvet vest in
copper color, over which falls front and
back a fine pleating of shaded taffeta
silk in lighter tones. I
The close-fitting coat-shaped bodice,
which promises to be one of the distin-
guishing features of the season, rounds .
down from the shoulder to under the
arm like a bolero, which is also edged
with the finely pleated frill. The coat
' Opens at the neck on a square plastron
land a great‘cravat bow of copper-y-
l
gtinted mull, and is fastened between
the ruffles of the bolero front with
gold-rimmed opal buttons. . The coat
is cut to form tiny epaulettes over the
sleeves, and the divisions of the open
back below the waist are caught t0-
gethtl’ by the same linked buttons,
while the narrow-pointed girdle is at-
tached in front with similar jewelled
bzutous. A shaped collar finishes the
n ck, since a coat 01- waist without a
close-fitting sleeves,
very high collar is the exception. The
opening at the
wrist in bell shape, are trimmed with
a fan frill of taffeta and little buttons.
The skirt, cut in the fashionable
three-tier mode, is attached to a founda-
tion skirt of silk—a new model—the
pattern of which is furnished in
connection with that of the skirt. The
skirt has deep pleats at the back, and
its width at the foot is three and three-
quarter yards. The only trimming em-
ployed is a double machine-stitching
on the edges. The proper cut of this
gown can only be obtained from the
cut patterns published by Harper’s
Bazar, where the design of the gown
appears.
The bat, which turns broadly back
on the left side, and is faced with
shirred black satin, is ornamented with
a great rosette of coppered-colored vel-
vet fastened by a jewelled pin, and the
crown is encircled by heavy black
plumes. ,
Quantity of material for costume—S
yards of cloth 52 inches wide, 1 yard of
velvet, 21} yards of silk.
A Use for Old Challie'Frockl. .
Fine all-wool ohallie dresses which
have fallen a prey to moths and are
no longer wearable cut into the pret-
tiest soft pillow covers. It is usually
easy to dodge the moth-holes sufficient-
ly for cushion covers, and, made with
a rufile, they are, particularly if in
light designs, extremely effective. They
are more durable than silk Ones be-
cause of their laundering qualities,
and soil less easily than those made
of lip‘en or dimity. -
' Desirable Qualities.
“I hope you appreciate the fact, sir,
that in marrying my daughter yoi
marry a largeheartcd, generous girl?”
“I do, sir”—with emotion—"and 1
hope she inherits those qualities tron
her father.” -
Lovely Summer G'bwmil.’
Laces and embroideries, in white anal
colors, are prodigally used in the malr
ing up of “wash" gowns for next sea-
son, the majorlty of which, however,
are not intended to ever pass through
the crucible of the laundry. They are
many new and very“ attractive styles in
batiste, India mull, nainsook, and bish-
op’s lawn embroideries, while the Irish
point and guipure patterns have lost
none of their popularity.
Blue Peppermints.
To the pink, green, chocolate, and I
white cream peppermints is now added
a bright-blue variety. The shade is as
striking as the fashionable blue of rib-
bons and silk, and is obtained by the
use of a. harmless vegetable coloring.
‘The fashionable cream peppermint lo-
zenge is very large, at present being
about the size of a silver dollar.
A Lemon Bath.
In the West Indies a lemon bath
ls almost a daily luxury. Three or
tour limes or lemons are sliced into
the water‘and allowed to lie for half
an hour, in order that the juice may
be extracted. A remarkable sense of
freshness and cleanliness is given to
the skin.
A New Silk Waist.
A silk waist that can be compressed
into very small compass, taking up
about the space ofpa baseball, and
which emerges unrumpled and in ex-
cellent condition, is one of the novel-
ties of the season that is specially use-
ful to travellers.
