BEAUTIFUL BELT NOVELTIES FROM PARIS.
a
o
f woman stocks her wardrobe with no
less than half a dozen of these prin
cess underdresses in various colors.
White is a staple color for a slin:
pale blue and pink are much mere ef- j
tective. and they enhance the beau- j
tifu! hand work en the gown. The '
pink is equally dainty and effective. '
and when this color is more becoming
to a woman than blue it is wise fcr
her to choose it. thouch the latter is
more of a summer sllade than those i
bordering on the rose. !

Fashionable women are taking

them with lace around the top. put

across the front. It is caught up with
ribbons. Inside there are set many
little ruffles cf silk to produce a full- !
ncs; across the bust. j
A m-usseau set consisted of ten i
pieces. There were the usual pieces
of underwear to put nest the skin.
These were made cf ncinsook and I
trtmmed with pale blue dyed lace, i
with patin ribbons, very narrow and j

set was trimmed with pale blue lace, i
i and there wa a nisht robe trimmed '

OBSERVE RULES OF WAR
Combatants in the Far East Have Been
Scrupulous in Their Conduct.
Up t-I. within th memorj ot peo-
pit now living ciitlized nations wagec
v.ar mucr. a do savage races at th:s
piesent daj. Now. of course, all u.i
is altered. Modern tc:en::f.c warfare
1 hedged round with as man rules
ond regulations as is modern scientific
icotball, and the same penalty is in
curred for toul or unfair pla name
ly, the stern disapprobation of the ,
spectators. '
The rules of war were never observ
ed so scrupulously as the are now. ,
Even the slightest hint irom one bel
hgerent that its opponent is not ob
serving the rules of war brings the '
eves of the whole civilized world to
bear on the alleged offense,
one belligerent have cause
plain of the behavior of the other, it
makes a formal protest to the neutral
nations, provided those nations were
signatories at. the Peace Convention
a; The Hague to that rule of war alleg
ed to be broken. Up to the present.
i'owever. there have been few com
plaints during the Russo-Japanese war,
and even those have mostly been
traced to the independent actions of
j. lew soldiers.
The presence of a sick or wounded
soldier m a dwelling house confers
protection upon it and exempts its
other occupants irom having troops
quartered upon them. Commanders
are forbidden to requisition the prop
er oi such occupants.
"Wounded prisoners of war must be
sent back to their own country as
soon as cured, on condition of not re
turning to the seat of hostilities, or
again bearing arms during the rest
ol the war.
Among other things forbidden are
the employment of poison, or of poi
soned arms or orojectiles. or of '"any
arms, projectiles, or material of a
i.aiure to cause superfluous injury." I
It is also unlawtul for a commander !
tc issue an order that no quarter is j
tc be ziven; ror may any town, fort- ,
ress or otner place be given over to '
i illase. even when taken by assault. '
Moreover, an enemy having surren
dered, or laid down Lis arms, must
rot be killed or wounded Nor is it ,
jermissible to kill or wound trencher- '

these may be under arms at the time

Tea Smoking U Harmful.
The fashionable doctor has now to
wrestle with a habit which is even
harder to combat than the drug
craze, because it is so very easy to
indulge in and se?ms so very harm
less in itselft the practice, so freely
resorted to in boudoirs, of smoking
cirareties of certain blends of tea
It does not sound very dreatful, in

No exception was. however, taken
by Great Britain or by and other na
tion, to the very stringent regulations
adopted as regards spi2s. Formerly
these unfortunates got exceedingly
short shrift, and such was the feeling
against them, even among humane
commanders, that but little care was
Should taken to sift the charges against sus

Now. however, no spy. even al
though taken in the act. may be exe
cuted without fair and proper trial;
and a spy who. after rejoining the
army to which he belongs, is subse
quently captured, becomes a prisoner
of war. and cannot ue punished for
his previous acts of espionage.
Also, the convention nade it very
clear who were, and vno were not
spies. Formerly great latitude was
permitted to individual commanders,
and innocent persons suffered accord-
ingly.
But now oalv those can be lawfully
punished as spies who. "acting clan-
destinely. or on raise pretences, obtain
or seek to obtain, information in the
rone of nn-innc nf o i,a;Ma,T
with the intention of communicating
it to the hostile party."
Thus, soldiers not in disguise found
within an enemy's lines, may not be
punished as spies, even although they
may be there for no ether purpose
than to spy. Nor may Cispatch-riders
or military ballocnists be treated,
when cantured. otherwise than as or
dinary prisoners of war.
Finally, it is unlawful for a com
mander, who may chance to be in
temporary occupation of an enemy's
territory, to compel the population of
such territory to bear arms against
their own government.
Private property must be respected,
"save in the case of urgent military
necessity:" and the destruction of his

Upon coming to France I felt a
sense of deep humiliation to think
that the most fascinating berojof our
revolution and the father of the Amer
ican navy. John Paul Jones, had been
permitted to lie for more than a cen
tury in an unknown and forgotten
j zrave in a foreign land and that no
I serious effort had been made to rescue
. cis remains from oblivion, ilore than,
i five years ago upon my cwn responsi
i bility I began a systematic search for
the recovery of his body. It was be-
iaved to have been buried in a ceme- ' shaft on the premises, and at a depth
erv for foreign Protestants, presum- j of seventeen feet the bodies of tho
iblv the old Si. Louis cemetery in the j dead were found undisturbed. Tho
lortheastern quarter of Paris, al- j ground had been leveled up and is cov
hnugh several authors had mentioned j ered with, buildings,
ther burying grounds. After difficult negotiations extending.
T nfcrtunately the public records over a year an agreement was finaUy,
iid been disturbed and scattered dur-
.ng tht revolution, and the registers
f foreign Protestant curia's burned
ty the commune in 1ST!. Fortunately,
an archeologtst had preserved a copy
3f the register containing Paul Jones
certificate of ouriai. but no mention
was made of ihe place of interment.
Search was then made jf the records
of the national assembly which had
nonored PauJ Jones" memory by ap
pointing a distinguished delegation to
attend his funeral, also if newspapers
of that date. July 20. 1792. zs well as
records of many departments of the
public service, of registers of all
known cemeteries and of the Protest
ant church, whose pastor delivered the
funeral oration, but by a singular fa-
tality no mention was made as to
where the remains had been depos
ited. Finally, direct information, corrobo
rated by circumstantial evidence, was
obtained which made it certain that
Paul Jones had been buried in the now
rbandoned St. Lou:s cemetery. Among
other evidence, a most interesting let-
; ter was discovered in the department

M. Simonneau was then commissary

I was now perfectly convinced tb

that effect. Nevertheless to" be .cer

After making careful estimates of tho

There is absolute proof that John,

with his name. Besides. I have the

trustworthy means of identification.

It is fitting that an effort should bo

TO MARK VALIANT DEEDS.
Sccieties Organized to Secure Recog
nition of American Triumphs.
President Roosevelt has had his at

by the Military Order of the Dragon,
composed of officers of the United
States army, who assisted in sup
pressing the Boxer uprising in China,
to suitably commemorate the part
aken by the United States in that
struggle, as well as to talk in tho
Society of the Army of Santiago, as
tc marking commemorative places In
Cuba. Nearly all the European
countries have marked their part in
the Chinese struggle by tablets on the
wall at Pekin, and the idea is to have.
this country do the same The tablets
would contain the names of the sol
diers and sailors who were killed and
v-ounded "at Pekin and elsewhere in
Cnina. At Santiago it is proposed to
mark the points of the battlefield that
were most important to the Americans
as well as the graves of American
soldiers.
