Just how, or why, certain Influences make
themselves felt, and certain periods sug
gest tho Inspiration tor given styled, It Is
difficult to say. That the great folk ot the
dressmaking world devote much thought
and time to their creations, that they
search the records of history and study
old-tlmo portraits In search ot Ideas we
know to be a fact. That certain parte ot
I'arls shelter numberless artists who are
perpetually creating designs to be submit
ted to Paquln, Francis and their confreres
Is a recognized truth, but by Just what pro
cess wc come to feel Dlrectolre Influence at
ono season, Louis XIV or XV at another Is
past finding out, yet that one period at one
time, another at another Is responsible for
the cut of our skirts, the effect of our trim
mings or the shape of our sleeves wc all
know and nccpt. Just now Eugenie's In
fluence Is being somewhat folt, Living In
the retirement of grlet .and sorrow as sho
Is, tbo effect of her regime has been re
vived to a certain extent, and latest crea
tions bring back memories of the time when
Trance revelled In the Second empire aud
Paris was gay with brilliant court life.
Not that our gowns arc to be replicas of
those tbo beautiful empress Inspired, not
that wc arc to seo exact copies of any one
garment, but that, tu spite of marked dif
ferences, hints of thut time aro to bo found

of J830 or thereabouts, an occasional digni
fied court train and the like. So far I have
aeon only ono gown that really reproduces
the salient features ot that gay court and it
is doubtful it that model can succeed.
What the Solltnry (iovrn I Like.
The material, a handsome taffeta, Is tn a
toft shade of pastel tan. The skirt is full
and consists entirely of flounces, edged
with Incb-wld'- silk fringe, those at tho
lowest edgo widest and each succeeding
one narrower tnan tho last. The corsage
Is In modified blouse style with a deep
corselet. The silk Is combined with ecru
guipure and is enriched by applique in
flower design, executed of soft silks ot
rich coloring. Tho sleeves are snug, but
are ot unlined lace below the elbows and
terminate In frills. As a reminiscence it
is charming. Wc each of us have stored
away dear old portraits, or daguerreotypes,
that show similar gowns, but we havo
learned a host of things since they were
taken and we prefer gowns modeled more
nearly on the lines of tho figure. We do
uot care to return either to the hoop skirt
or Its effect. Wo realize that flounces mean
diminished height and that grace is beet
subserved when quite an opposite, effect
Is achieved, nut we are to see an effort
in the direction of full skirts. Sleeves of
Imported gun ns do grow wider at the lower
part; rich lares and embroideries are ap
parent tn every side.
Since the time when Kugcnle's beauty
and taMe made her realm tho criterion for
tho civilized world wo havo learned many
things and havo added many mater
ials to our list. At that tlmo real laces
only were kuown. What imitations there
may havo been wcro hopelessly bad. To
day we .ire offered reproductions In cotton
of Itusslan. Venlse, Cluny, guipure Llerre
and the like that are really beautiful and,
without protending to be what they aro
not, make It possible to tnako charming
effects with little cost. At that time

dainty creation in white crepe Is trimmed
with broad bands of gold overlaid with
tracery of black, but Is almoit classic In Its
simplicity. The skirt Is tucked at the up

In soft folds to the floor. The bodice Is low

and finished with a lace-edged fichu or

charming gown In transparent black crepe
Is enriched by perpendicular bands of black

applique trimmings of silk embroidered
flowers that harmonize with those of the

scarcely more than a film, but Is woven

skirt. Over It Is a running graceful ap
plique of Renaissance lace In deep cream
with ruches of the material applied to give
a double flounce suggestion. At the edge
aro three tiny frills, each furnished with a
miniature ruche, that add to the flare and
serve to protect the lace. Tim low bodice
Is smooth at the back, but opens
to reveal a front of white chiffon
and pouches slightly over the belt, while
finishing the low neck Is a bertha of the
ecru lace that falls In collar effect at the
front. Still another "creation" Is of deep
cream Llerre lace and pink chiffon, pink
being an Indisputable favorite of the hour.

tho better gowns are over-extravagant
As I started out by saying, somethlnc ot
the extravagance, ot Kugcnle's youth Is
apparent in many imported models, but the
Improvement In simpler fabrics has made
It possible to do admirable things without
excessive cost. A charming satin foulard

The lace, being of tho flno Imitation sort,
the gown is far from costly, yet tho effect
Is an entirely satisfactory one. Cost and
beauty aro by no means synonymous terms
Not a few costumes aro spoiled from tho
esthetic point of view, by over elabora
tlon. Simplicity possesses an inherent
charm and goes hand In hand with ele
gance. A really fascinating novelty In
white goes far to show how absolutely that
statement Is true. Thu foundation material
is crepe do Chine. The skirt consists ot
three flouuees, narrower at tho front and
wider at the back, each ot which is edged
with a plain band of taffeta ribbon three
Inches in width, and each of which Is ar
ranged with tucks at the upper edge. The
bodlco takes the form ot a blouse, with a
tucked portion giving a surplice effect, and
Includes an unlined yoke ot cream Cluny
and elbow sleeves that terminate In Cluny
frills. Jlarcge and chiffon volllng aro
charming treated after tb same manner
In various colors as well as white, and
neither one can bo said to mean excessive
cost.
While Still Ilnle I'liolee.
White with a touch of brilliancy leut by
Persian embroideries Is a conspicuous
favorite of the best designers, and daring
bits ot contrast make another feature of
Paris gowns which cannot bo overlooked.
A rarely lovely white gown Is of tho al
most ubqultous cfepo do Chine hung over
soft-flnlshed taffeta. The skirt is cut with
a deep circular flounce finished only with
a hem, and Is headed by a group of tine
hand-run tucks, while two more groups
eucircle the skirt above. The waist takes
the blouse form that opens slightly to re
veal a narrow front ot tucked yellow silk.
On tho front edges ot the blouso aro ap
pliques of exqulilte Persian embroidery In
the delicious ''old" tones. At the wulst Is
a deep corselet belt of white silk which
shows similar embroidery at the back, but
Is plain and narrower nt the front. The
sleeves are In bishop shape, but tucked
until they are left free to form puffs at
the wrists, where they are held by Persian
bands, below which fall soft frills of cream
lace. A dainty pink gown recently arrived
has touches of bright cherry here and there.
An old rose pongee, tn a bastel shade, In
cludes bits of deep rich red. A blue gown
from Perdoux shows touches of violet; yet
all these contrasts arc so perfectly man
aged, each shade Is selected with such care
and such unfailing sense of color that In
ach Instance tho result Is a delight.
Crude selection less than a perfect knowl
edge of the law that governs contrasts and
hnrmonU-s would mean certain failure,
but. handled by experts, such unusual ef
fects become chic In the extreme. Sleeves
make a conspicuous feature ot all the finer
gowns. In them, perhaps, Is to be found
the greatest medium of mid-century in
fluence. The tendency is to broaden out at
the wrists and to become raoro elaborate.
Many models show no Intention of the sort,
and many Include only the smull puff nt tho
wrist, but the genuine flowing sleeve has
appeared. It remains for time to show
whether It has come to remain or will have
brief stay. A quaint example Is snug at
the upper portion nnd moderately flaring
at the wrists, but Is slashed to the elbow
to allow the undcrslecve of chiffon and laca
to fall through. Another is decidedly broad
ami flowing at tho wrist and Is open at
tho Inner scam for Its entire length, be
ing held by straps ot graduated length, and
Is worn over a complete full sleeve of
chiffon that terminates in laco frills that

CHICAGO. May 1 The comraltee of
clergymen appointed by the Ministers' asso
ciation of Chicago to investigate tho cueci
of the abolishment of the army canteen at
Fort Sheridan, paid a secret visit to the
post today and ran into a hornet's nrst.
The leports of the people living near the
post have been to' the effect that the num
ber of Intoxicated soldiers in the vicinity
of the post has been materially Increased
Blnce the abolishment of the canteen, and
the ministers went to the post to Investi
gate for themselves. The members of the
committee were Hev. Dr. l'arkhurst of
the Anti-Saloon league, ltev. A. It. Thaln of
Oak Park, representing the Congregation
allsts; ltev. S. 11. Dexter, representing the
Baptists; ltev. J. S. Hughes, representing
the Christian church.
He.ilde theso gentlemen, former Chief cf
Police Bartram of Evanston and llov. Dr
Wright, president of the Presbyterian
preachers, were In the party. Colonel Van
Home greeted the visitors affably and or
dered the call to be sounded, summoning
the officers of the tort to the place.
Dr. l'arkhurst opened by stating the
causes that had brought the party to the
fort. He said the committee represented
250,000 church people, who were glad the
canteen feature of the army had been done
away with.
Colonel Van Home arose and took from
his pocket a newspaper clipping In which
It was raid that Dr. l'arkhurst had accused
army officers of receiving champagne and
other liquors, without any bills attached,
"First of all," said the colonel, "I mean
to ask Dr. l'arkhurst whether he madu
theso charges against the nriny olllcers?"
"I did not," replied Dr. l'arkhurst.
"Will you deny It over your signature In
the paper that published it?'
"No." said Dr l'arkhurst, "I will not do
that. I never write to the newspapers. 1
always get the worst of It."
"But it Is due us that you deny It, if you
did not say it."
"I deny it here before you gentlemen.'
said Dr. Parkhurst, "but I will not go fur
ther."
Wnnt Court-Mnrtlnl MntlMlrx.
Dr. Parkhurst then made a request that
the reports of court-martial cases be fur
nlshed, In order to show whether the aboil'
tlon of the canteen on February 2 had ln
creased the amount of drunkenness. Colonel
Van Home agreed to this, but on account ot
tho time required to get the figures It was
agreed that the report should be forwarded
to the committee In Chicago. Colonel Van
Home stated, however, that these statistics
Old ago, liko disease, brings infirmities; and with tho advancing

offenders for the first time.
This assertion prompted Captain Ely to
make a statement regarding his experience
with the canteen. Dr. Parkhurst dissented.
'Do you refuse lo accept my word?
asked Captain Ely.
".no, answered Dr. l'arkhurst. "not so
far as your own experience goes, but 1 do
not believe you know all about It."
"Then you are tho first man I ever saw
retorted the captain, "who takes the word
of a man on the street, unknown even by
name, and refuses to accept tho word of an
officer In the regular army. When you say
so you insult tho officers of the army."
Dr. Parkhurst thought differently.
"I see,' 'said Colonel Van Home, "that
you aro perfectly blind, Dr. Parkhurst, to
anything wc can say to you. I still Insist
you are unfair. You arc cocked and primed
und blind. You came here with your mind
mado up."
Captain Morrow mado an address favoring
the canteen and Colonel Van Home said
that per cent of army officers believed It
to be the lesser of the two evils.
"You do believe it to be an evil then?"
asked Dr. Parkhurst.
"Liquor may be an evil," returned tho
colonel, "but which Is the greater the
saloon outside or the canteen Inside?"
A member of the committee said some
thing about the Woman's Christian Temper
ance union, and at this Colonel Van Homo
arose.
Wlint He .eer Snn.
"In my forty years In the army." he
said, "I never saw a Woman's Christian
Temperance union woman come to an army
post to make an Investigation. They know
nothing about it. In my opinion they would
have their hands full If they took care of
their drunken futhers. husbands and
brothers."
"If you think." replied Dr. Parkhurst.
"that the legislation in tho senate and
house at Washington, which resulted In the
abolition of the canteen, was made without
anybody knowing anything about the mat
ter, I will have to say that you do not know
much about It yourself."
"You are cocked and primed," repeated
Colonel Van Home. "All our talk will
never convince you, because you came here
intending not to be convinced."
"You aro wrong," replied Dr. Parkhurst.
"It Is ou who will not be convinced."
"ou aro blind," said Colonel Van Home.
When asked directly whether he would
admit that the canteen hnd not been a
detriment to tho army If It should bo shown
that conditions have not improved since
tho abolition of the canteen, Dr. Parkhurst
replied with a positive "No," declaring that
those whom ho roprescnttd objected to
'having n saloon run by the army."
"If you want to get at the facts In the
case, leaving out the ethical questions In
volved." said Captain Morrow. "I would
suggest that you get before you about
twenty of the privates and question them
tcgardlng the canteen asking them whether
they would consider themselves better off
with or without It " The question of doing
this wns not settled.

NEW RAILROAD PROMISED
Arrniifteinc nt (umplr tell for AtUln-

Line.
Financial arrangements for tho building
ot the Atkinson 4: Niobrara Blver railroad
are being closed In this city. P. D.
McMahon of Charter Oak, Ia president of
the company, was here In consultation with
T. A. Harris, vice president, and A. O.
Perry, a director and originator of the plan
which is now being developed.
AH but two ml!c3 of the grade for tho
road from Atkinson ncross tho Niobrara
river, where Is to bo located the town of
Perry, Is compiled, and It is expected that
tho trains will be running by July 4.
This road is to bn a narrow gauge, ex
tending from a Junction with the Klkhorn
nt AtXlnson up Into Boyd county, one of the
richest agricultural counties In the state,
lv'ng between the Niobrara and the Mis
souri rivers. North of that county arc the
rich agricultural lands of South Dakota.
The road as now projected Is twenty-five
mlloi. In length The rolling stock Is said
to be .Tdered tnd will be ready for service
as soou as the lino Is completed.
Mr. Peny says ho expects to hac tho
road iu operation by July 1. "We hae
about completed the llnanclug ot tho road,"
he said. 'The bends nre being purchased
by bankers lu lown, Illinois and in Omaha.
Practically all of them have been sub
scribed. Wo will havo traffic arrange
ments with tho Dlkhorn nnd will transfer
all of our business to that rond at Atkin
son. As for our headquarters, they aro
still In Omaha, but when the road Is com
plete! they will he established nt l'erry,
the northern terminus. As yet there Is no
town ot Perry, Just the land which wo own.
When the road is completed wc will hold
a general auction and start the town."
This road was projected some tlmo ago
and tho grade wns raised two yeurs ago.
A hitch caino In tU "roocedings about that
time, the Intention evidently being to sell
tho road, probably to tho Klkhorn, n plan
which evidently did not carry. A short
tlmo ago it was rumored that new hands
had been applied to tho proceedings nnd
that the road would be built. The result
is seen In the meeting hero today and tho
announcement that was made.
This narrow gauge rond will run almost
straight north through the center of Boyd
county. It will serve tbo same purpoao
as the projected Klkhorn extension nnd will
make that territory directly tributary to
Omaha, with close transportation facilities.
Although nothing could bo learned from
I the officials on that point, It Is stated In
