Tho pretty nml filctttresciuo gowns now mado for (lie ittlo oues iniiku them doubly nt tractive, and it la really liurd to walk u block without feeling the ilesiro to get down on your knees to kiss houio dimpled V.ttle darling toddling along in its quaint old fashioned gown. The picture gowns reach to tho feet and are seldom seen on PICTUltE OOWNS KOIt IIAMr.". children over ttix. They are, us 1 said, bo very pretty, but on tlio other hand they nru a Herious iuconveniouco to tho baby. It looks cunning to seo the little tots gather up their petticoats whenever they want to run or climb, but they often utep on them and tuuiblo over, and they do Horlously hamper their free movemont. I think it would bo a good plan to mnko tho little dresses shorter for play and long only for show or outside wear when a child is expected to bo still. Up in Central park and Bryant's park, tho two places where tho children con gregate in tho greatest numbers with their nurses, ono sees littlo mites in white muslin, with long skirts and blue or pink sashes, toddling around with at least ono hand useless fornny other pur poso than to lift up the long skirt. But you see "tho latest" in all the grades. Ono littlo gimp drss struck mo as being very pretty, if a littlo odd. Tho gimp was of pale bluo India silk, with tho rest of black pongee. Thero wero littlo butterfly bows of bluo on tho shoulders and three of tho samo down tho front of tho dress. Another had a gretohen waist and fall plain skirt of black pongee, with tho upper part of tho waist and full bishop sleeves of orange India silk. The black skirt was feather stitched abovo tho hem with orange silk. It made a very becoming dress. Anothor pretty picture gown for a baby of threo was of moss green surah "shot" with peuohblow, so that tho littlo thing looked like a dovoiu the changing lights. Tho skirt was long and plainly hotmned, Tho waist was n sort of mod ified Russian, with squares of Ilusiau embroidery around tho neck over tho gimp of pink silk. The balloon sleeves ended nt tho elbow with a narrow ftill of lace. Tho dress for her motherly littlo sis ter was of bluo and white striped wash Bnrah.mado with a blouse waist, a plain skirt and sleeves puffed to tho elbow Tho forearm, lwttom of tho skirt and the ruff on tho shoulders all had rows of narrow dark bluo ribbon sewn on flat The skirt cmiio to a littlo below the knees. For little lKys in dresses tho most sat isfactory gown for summer is mado of pique, with a little sailor blouse, the whole trimmed with narrow strips of bluo percale stitched on flat. This will stand no end of washing nnd hard wear For woolen nothing is as good us blue sorgo or flannel, and they can be trim med with a few yards of white braid and can be washed as often ns need be, nnd that is pretty often. Natty little suits for boys in pants nre made of pink and white or bluo ami whito striped ticking, with n dark stripe up the legs and n dark bluo sailor collar for tho blue one or Turkoy red for tho other. They aro inexpensive, easy to mako and prettier than any thing. Gray Hol land linen is also used for small boys, nnd it is stout and will bear washing in definitely. For tho pretty elder sister who is "standing with reluctant feet where tho brook nnd river meet," 1 present a sim plo and dainty dress which is jiift the kind she wants. Tho body of tho gown is plain.withuMar- hi.n.r. axi dainty. guorito bodice of white ciepo or mull, bound all around with blue mnite rib bon. The same makes a point at the front and foimsa collar. The sleeves linvo two puffs of mull or crepe, with four bands of ribbon, and thciouiv three around the bottom. The dioss itself u made of pcail nay Iloutiettu. A dainty littlo fancy that any girl gm In ran make in twenty minutes Is lnco capote. This has a friiino mndo near ly pqunro and is simply bent down nt tho corners, edged with a littlo gilt cord or with beads. Tho top of it can be covered with bright sill: overlaid and edged with luce, and in front is a butter fly bow made of lnco fastened by the silk. It couldn't bo prettier, nnd Is suit able for church, receptions, theaters nnd full dress for nuy occasion where bon nets are worn, nnd it can also bo worn ou pleasant days for promenade. Another dainty littlo addition to n plain gown, making it dressy nnd pret ty, is a jabct of pineapple muslin, edged with lace. A pineapple handkerchief is generally employed to make this, and tho lnco needs to bo almost an inch and a half wide, of flue texture and pattern and held on pretty full. To make it simply catch up n jKirtion n little above tho middle, nnd twist it so that two of the corners fall one over the other at tho top, and let the rest hang in oas folds, nnd when it is in the shape as above, tack it firmly on the back, but not letting the stitches show. A bow of ribbon just under tho top fall Is an ad ditlon. Ot.tvi: II urr.it A COLORED POLITICIAN. Kdivln 1. McCittio Him At-itilieil I'iuii mill Wi-ullli In Okluliiiiiiii. Special CorresKinilciiee. ToniKA, Kan., duly 1 1. Tho organi zation of a colonization and protection association by tho Afro-Americans once more brings into prominence 1-Mwin 1'. MeCubo, who was at one time auditor of the state of Kansas, tho only negro who ever held olllcial position in any state in tho west. Ho has been for two years at the head of a colonization society in Ok-1 luhomu, and liar, succeeded in securing I homes for several thousand southern ne-1 groes in that territory. Three years ago he founded tho town of Laugstou, which differed from other towns in that it was to have no whito population. The sale of lots was conducted through MoCnbo's ' ngents, who wore preachers among the negroes in tho southern states. Ho suc ceeded in disposing of 1,700 lots within tho short time of two years at prices ranging from ten to fifty dollars, and in gathering in his town over 700 negroes. Establishing tho Laugstou Herald, a weekly paper, he soon had a circulation of more than 0,000, and was thus ena bled to reach the people in the south for whom ho was working. Always urging that no negroes should go to Oklahoma unless provided with enough capital to keep them at least one year, ho has succeeded in gathering the most intelligent and tho most provident, nnd now lionsts that his jioople aro tho most prosperous in that territory. He has led in the war against the "Jim ' Crow" cars in tho southern states, which EDWIN 1. M'CAIIK. wcro prepai ed especially for the negroes. This fight, which was a legal oiio, was mado possible by tho liberal contribu tions whicAi ho made before asking for aid from tlio jnoro wealthy negroes in tho north and east. Recently thero have been several meetings of negroes in Topcku, Guthrie and Little Mock for the purpose of formulating plans that would not only aid a wholesale immigration, but at the same time protect those who did not want to leave their old homes in the south. Finally tho plans wero perfected at Guthrie, the home of McCaho, nnd tlio movement has been started that bids fair to exceed in magnitude anything that has yet been inaugurated. The do tails have not yet licen given out, but enough has been learned to know that in addition to finding homes for those who wish to go to Oklahoma the courts will bo asked to protect thoso who re main in tho southern states, and if that is not dono then n semimilitury organ ization is to undertake the work, t litis forcing interference by tho United States government. McCabe is ambitious and has his mind mado up to go to tho United States senate whenever Oklahoma is admitted ns a state. In addition to his philau thtopie views he always keeps in sight tho advisability of holding tho balance ol power in the territory by means of tho negro vote, which ho now holds and control. Tho piescnt year will close with at least 10,000 moio negio votein in Oklahoma, bt ought thuie through tho jn-itruiiientulity of McCube, who i regarded as the Moses of this people. The first legislatuie, after the tenitory is admitted as a state, he says, will be of such complexion as ho wishes, and tho paity hi power at that time will be under pledges to innko him senator. This negio leeder is one-fourth black and well educated. He was born and educated in Rhode hlnud. Heisshiewd in his dealings with both whites ami blacks, is always aggiessive, but mvei obnoxiously so. He does not seek tin society of whites, nor does he make him self familiar with tho blacks. While lie feels humiliated over Ins social standing on acccount ot his black blood, he ac cepts the veidict lcndered by the whin race and counts his white blood as uutli I ing. He has one child, a girl, whom lie will educate in Fiance. His ollico in Guthiie is tho lin'st i-le gaut in that pictfiitioiis city. He keeps three cleiks, all white, one man and two ladystellogiaphefs. Hiscoriespnudelict is imiueiire in ultimo, and ueaily all re lates to the tidtaiiiruient of his nice A. U. Stacky.
