EUSTIS TAIJKS AGAIN.
Our French Embassador Attempts to Jun-
tify Alleged Utterancea.
PARIS, July 12.——The Figaro today pub-
lished a stotement- from the Hon. James
B. Eustis, the United States embassador
to France, in which the latter says:
“The fact is now recalled to my memory
that Sécretary Vignaud introduced M.
Routier to me on May 13, not as a jour-
nalist, but as a writer. According to my
custom,-I had a. conversation with him,
but I certainly did not authorize M. Rou-
tier to publish it. He did not tell me he
had such an intention, and if he had I
should have taken the necessary precauL
tions. Indeed I should have forbidden
him, as would have been my duty, to di-
vulge anything of our conversation. I did
not use the language M. Routier attributes
to me, and I do not understand why M.
Rouiter thought he had the right to invite
me to discuss delicate question of interna—
tional politics. ”
The Estafette, discussing the affair, re-
marks: “It would not require many such
incidents, especially in view of the effect
which it produced in Spain, to lead to seri-
ous complications with the United States,
and the fault rests entirely with the Unit-
ed State's, iwhich, by carrying out the ap-
plication Of the "Monroe doctrine to an
abuse and by the ubiquity of their inter-
vention, disturb the European nations and
injure, in the end, their most legitimate
interests. ”

THE SHEET WAIST. .
COOLEST AND MOST CONVENIENT
OF WOMEN’S GARMENTS.
Two Suits of Stylish Cut, One of Crinkly
Silk, the Other of Gray Alpaca. Sashes
and Bows Should Now be All~Loops and
No Streamers.
One of the distinguishing features of
this season’s styles in dress is that most
sashes and bows are all loops and no
ends. The ribbon belt or sash invaria-
bly ends with big, bristling bunches of
loops. The long, floating streamers of
former years seem to have almost dis-
appeared.
When well fitting in every respect,
properly laundered and carefully ad-
justed, the shirt waist is a stylish and
becoming garment. When ill-fitting,
badly laundered and, instead of repos-
ing peacefully at the waist line it
bulges at the shoulders and lets the
dress shirt band show below the belt,
the shirt waist is most unbecoming and
non-stylish. This year’s shirt waist is
noticeable for a decided improvement in
make. The improvement, too, extends
to its wearers. The majority of shirt
waists that are seen nowadays are worn
with style and grace, and as one sees
several hundred daily, this may be ta-
ken as conclusive. The only way to in-
sure a shirt waist keeping in place is to
have a waistband at the waist line. At
the back it should also have large metal
eyes, upon which the dress skirt should
be' hooked. The outside belt should
then be pinned down in the back, after
which there can be no dangcr’of the un-
welcome gap.
Here is a gown with. several novel
characteristics to recommend it. First,
its skirt is slightly trimmed; Second,
its sleeves vary just a trifle from the
season’s ordinary arm covering. Third,
its bodice is of a cut becoming to almost
any style of figure. The color of the
gown is a medium shade of light blue,
with trimmings of jet and butter-col-
ored lace. Its material is crinkly silk.
The skirt, which flares well all round,
has in the front two long V-shaped in-
sertions of minor velvet of a darker she 1c
of blue and ending with jet ornaments
near the waist line. The only other
touches of velvet about the gown are
the plain round belt and the high choker
collar, over which are two little tabs of
French muslin edged with butter-col-
tored lace. The bodice is of plai’ed
black chiffon over blue silk, drawn
down tightly in the back and sagging in
the front. A yoke efiect is supplied by
bands of— black jet trimming placed
across the front and downward from the
shoulders. The sleeves are all of the
silk, but the enormous puff is caught up
much higher than is usual, leaving
quite a length of tight-fitting sleeve
below. This puff is apparently held in
place by a big, butterfly-shaped bow of
yellow lace. At the wrist the sleeve
is ornamented with a lengthwise trim-
ming of jet. The hat worn with this
gown is broad brimmed and is turned up
in the back. gt is of black straw, with
two blue plumes and a mass of yellow
lace to give it color. .
Another gown is of gray alpaca. Its
skirt is full and flaring. Its 'plaited
bodice is drawn down tightly under a
' belt and extends below in a brief but
very full skirt. This bodice also has a
yoke effect, produced this time by
deep, rounding pieces of yellow lace.
A black ribbon stock with spreading
loops is at the neck. The belt, also of
black ribbon. is fastened in front with
a rosette and falling ends of the lace.
'The sleeves hang in large puffs to the
elbow and fit smoothly below. The
pufls are caught midway with rosettes
of the yellow lace. Down the bodice
front is a double row of gayly painted,
gilt:fr»“‘ 95.2122 :tons. .

A FORGETFUL SENATOR.
And the Trouble His Absentmlndedneu
Caused In His Household.
“In matters purely social,” remarked
a Cabinet oflicer toe. reporter for the
Washington Star, “I never like to be
quoted, so in what is to follow you may
omit my name. 0
“Last winter one of our best known
Senators from one of the Gulf States ly-
ing between Louisiana and Florida was
at the theater. After the performance,
he, with a friend, repaired to a German
restaurant to be refreshed:
“For the first time in his long and
well spent life he encountered that pow-
erful confection known as Limburger
cheese. ' He was delighted with it as
with a revelation in gastronomy. He
craved of the owner of the hostelry a
specimen of the cheese that he might
convey it to his household, there to be
exhibited and taught to them as a. les-
son in the palatable, and all to the end
that large quantities of the cheese might
be purchased and consumed by them.
The good natured restaurateur gave the
statesman an entire cheese, wrapped in
the usual tinfoil which is its market
overcoat. , .
il- . “The Senator blithely received the
cheese and stowed it away in the stern
sheets of his dress suit. Then he went
home, and hanging his costume in the
wardrobe. went to bed.
“In- the morning, with the approacing
cares of a. tariff day overshadowing any
memory of that Limburger, he pulled on
his every day suit and went down to the
Senate. When he sought his home again
at 6 p. m., he found doors and windows
open, while his family went about in
furs and similar defenses against the
cold.
“There were artisans about who had
taken up flooring boards, sawed into the
wainscot and torn ragged holes in the
frescoes over his head. The house look-
ed as if some plumber who loved his
art had been looking for a. leak.
“ ‘What‘s the trouble here?’- demand-
ed the Senator with a strain of irritation
in his tone.’
“ ‘There’s a dead mouse in the wall or
floor somewhere,’ said his wife from out
her sealskins. “We’ve got to find it and
get rid of it. We can’t live in the
house.’
“Then the statesman remembered the
faithful Limburger lurking in his dress
coat. It was removed from office, and a
colored person was employed to carry it
y to leeward of the Senator’s household as
far as he could go for two bits.”
HE WAS _W|LLING.
Time End Tempered His Grief for His
Lamonted Partner.
There was an old man with a. big and
bulky satchel at his feet and a weed on
his hat leaning against the Griswold
street front of the Detroit post office the
other day, when a vag who had been
hanging around for the right sort of man
to appear, approached him and said:
, “I see that the-grim destroyer has in-
vaded your hearthstone.”
“The which?” asked the old man.
“The grim destroyer—the angel of
death. I take it your wife has gone
hence.”
“Yes, gone hence.”
“Allow me to extend my heartfelt
sympathies.
“Yes, you kin extend ’em.”
“You must be lonely.”
“Yes, purty lonely.”
“I have lost the partner of my own
bosom, and I know how it feels. You
seem to be all alone in this great
world?”
“Yes, that’s the feelin’.”
“Life appears to bee. desert to you?”
“Yes, reg’lar desert, with sand 3. foot
deep.”
“But in your loneliness—in the seem-
ing emptiness of your life—has it not oc-
curred to you that you could do some-
thing to add to the happiness of your
fellow man?” .
“Yes, it has.” ,
“And will you do it?"
“I will. It’s ’lever: months now since
my wife was taken ;. .vay, and if you’ll
pint me out a woman about forty years
old who wants to gets married I’ll pop
the question so gaul-durned quick that
it will make her heels lift up. You bet-
cher life I want to do sunthin’ fur my
feller man, and I’m waiting right here to
get another sight of a woman whom I’ve
follered fur three miles and winked at
over a dozen times.” .
Bicycles Cutting Rallroa 1 Earnings.
The passenger earnings of many roads
are not only being cut into locally by
the trolley lines, but by the bicycles.
Since the warmer weather set in people
living out a few miles from their busi-
neSs places who have been patronizing
suburban trains now ride the bicycle.
Where there are cities but a. few miles
apart the passenger men say that be-
tween the electric roads and the bicycle
competition their local earnings are
showing a. marked decrease.
Apas‘senger official who had just re-
' turned from Boston states that within a.
radius of eight to ten miles hundreds
come in on bicycles on pleasant morn-
ings and return in the evening in the
.same manner, and hundreds more find
the electric cars quite an attraction, so
that altogether the Boston steam roads
are losing quite heavily on this particu-
lar portion of their income.
He say that Boston passenger men
told him that trains that were formerly
' crowded are now fairly well filled, and
in some instances a number of trains
run for surbuban business have been
taken off and those kept on are hauling
fewer coaches.——-.Indianapolis Journal.
Here is a sentence from the new book
on labor and the ‘money power which
Mary E. Lease is writing: “Rolling
back the dark and tear stained curtains
of the world’s history, and looking down
the long vista of years to connect the
past with the present, it becomes mani-
fest that two great- agents or factors
haye ever controlled and robbed the hive
of labor. These two factors have been
the titled nobility or aristocracy of roy-
alty and the aristocracy of wealth or the
power of money.”

SPEAKING TO YOUNG MEN
Victor Hugo once said : “It is the learning acquired at midnight that
will make your future brigh‘ and dazz'ing as midday”. Ar d 111 the terse
epignm the great Frenchman stated a truth that applies equally to strug~
gling ambitious yr ung men the world over. . _
- In so much as you who have yet your place to make in the world will
avail yourselves of opportunities to increase your knowledge and form
prove your mind so will you make your life successful and hajpv.
A man’s brain is a garden given to him to cultivate, and who- .. products
will be his support Plant that garden with the seeds of-kno...edge, and
from the vines will grow the blossoms of financial gmn‘and honorable
preferment.
Never before in the history of the world have young men . had opportu-
nity to fit-themselves for the battle of life as it is now given them. In
this as in everything else Yankee push and American public spirit lead the
world. These two qualities, typified in the publishers of the great Ency—
clopedia Britannica, have made it possible for young men to acquire by
little effort and less expense the equivalent of a college education.
Err-President of Yale College, says, . .
“I will defy a ' y one to buy 3,000 volumes that will give him as good a
working library as is furnished in the Encyclopedia Britannica alone.”
Rev, Charles Spurgeon says : '
“If all other books were destroyed. the Bible excepted, the world would
have but little of its imformation.
