The duchess of Alba , the first lady of
the land. after the queen and the royal
princesses , Is the typo of the grand dame
of modern Spain. Proud , without being
haughty , but proud of her descent as King
Philip wanted his Spaniards. She is a do-
scendint of Fernan Nnnez. They tell a
story of the duchess which is character-
Istic. When she made her entree Into Ma-
dred society , a graceful girl still in her
teens , she was soon surrounded by many
suitors fluttering In the smiles of the rich
heiress. She would have none of them.
"I will only marry the bluest blood of
Spain , " she said tp a friend , and she kept
her word. She married the duke of Alba.
The duchess is not a striking beauty , and
like all Spaniards , she is deeply religious ,
In fact something of a bigot ; but is a good ,
sensible , practicable znotner , who e4ucatod
her hiidren simply. 11cr eldest daughter.
Donna Sol , is a simple , unaffected , studious
schoolgirl , not yet in society.
The "Alba boys" are the most intimate
playmates of the young king , and it is
known that Queen Christina is almost insanely -
sanely particular as to whom she allows to
associate with her son , Like her husband.
the duchess Is devoted to sport. She hunts ,
rides and drives , and ( luring the holidays ,

sombrero of the torero , and riding Into the

'I'hr Iohieye4 Aritocrncy ,
One of the most prominent representatives -
tives of the money aristocracy , in the so-
clety orih of Madrid , is the marchioness
of Manzanedo , No long line of proud an-
ceetors looks down upon her , no ancient
escutcheon bears her armorisi quarteringe.
hot if beauty , grace and elegance create a
title of nobility of their own , then nature
has abtindantly endowed her with such a
tithe , and as this nobility is thickly coy-
cred with riches the Madridians have wel-
comcd this marchioness to their innermost
circles.
The father of the marchioness of Man-
zanedo was a hatniaker ; her husband was
a banker. thoth amassed great fortunes and
the hatmaker became duke of Santona and
marquis of Manzanedo. The dukedom he
bequeathed to his daughter's eldest son-
in Spain one heaves a title where one wills
-the lesser honors passed by themselves.
After the death of her father the mar-
chloness 'took up her residence in Paris
and remained there znan years , where she
became almost more French than Spanish.
But one thing she could not eradicate from
her nature-the passion for the bull ring-
and no big bull fIght ( quad her absent from
the ringside.
In Madrid she occupies an old palace.
hidden among many big trees , on the Paseo
da Recoletos ; In Paris she owns a home
near the Madeleine. All the rooms are
furnished with every known modern luxury
and decorated with ertistic taste and the
proud duchess of Mba is one of the most
intimate friends of the "hatxnaker's
daughter. "
130th the marchioness and her eldest
daughter Maria , stand upon the edge of
"women's rights ; " they approach with tact
the equality of the sexes and when such topIcs -
Ics as ancestra , old families and ancient hin-
cage are broached they dismiss It with a
jest and say : "Oh ! hut that was so long
ago. " When she goes to her country seat ,
Santona , near the , Bay of Biscay. she becomes -
comes the fairy godmother of the neighborhood -
hood , Last summer the poor people of
Santona gave a midsummer night's festival
on top of a neighboring mountain. The
marchioness climbed the dlUlcuit pathway
to the top , entered into the spirit of the
festival and danced with peasant and rustic ,
the Aragonese Jota. With all this , she
is still sutflciently bigoted to make the
annual piigrimage to Loundes.
As for the aristocracy of genius , apart
from the royal family and the diplomatic
corps , there is very little' of It to be found
among the prominent ladies of the capital
of Spain. The queen , who interests herself
for everything connected with science , literature -
ature , or the arts , lives quietly and in retirement -
tirement and her influence on society is ,
therefore , not great. Formerly , the duch.
ess of Medinaceli maintained a salon in
which the artists and celebrities gathered ,
and where the Spanish poet , Juan Tenorlo
"Jose Zorilla" made his debut.
In general the ladies of the Spanish ache.
tocracy suffer from an education in the
convent which , while it does not prevent
their enjoyment of the world's good things ,
renders the world of belles lettres a terra
incognita to them.

Ten or twelve years ago there came to
Madrid a lady from Spanish Galicia , Donna
Emiiia , Countess Pardo Bazan , and over
this she published several romances and
feuilietons. At ftrst she was surrounded
by a very small but bright and clever circle ,
recruited almost exclusively from the upper -
per middle classes. Later she aspired
higher and became the "fad" of the period.
Now no evening gathering in the very up.
permost crust of Madrid society is considered -
ered complete at which "the Pardo Ihazan"
does not appear ,
For many years there have been Monday
evening readings in the Ateneo club ; these
readings have always been clever and Interesting -
teresting but they were , as a rule , exclu.
sively attended by gentlemen , a few ladies
appearing now and then in the gallery , One
day there appeared in the papers the an-
nouncement-"Next Monday , at. the Atenen ,
reading by Dana Exuilia Pardo I3azan , " It
was a revolution , A scramble ensued for
tickets. Before evening the issue was cx-
hausted , Mi 3ladrid , that is , all Madrid
society , attended the reading ; the crowd was
so big , the hum so palpable , the excitement
so great , that the reading , really a very able
paper , was heard but by a small minority
of those present. It made no difference.
Public readings are now the fashion ; the
University has set aside several afteraoons
In each week for public readings , and Dona
Fmihia I'ardo l3azan is the favorite reader.
All Madrid socIety-ministers of the cabinet ,
generals , ftnanciers , members of the Cortes.
the foreign ambassadors with their wives ,
attend them.
It Madrid ever becomes a literary , art
loving , science fostering city , the credit
will belong to this clever grass widow , The
Countess F.milia Panda Bazan is by no
means pretty or attractive ; she is short
and corpulent and eccentric in dress. She
likes light and glaring colors and is not
particular as to whether they harmonize or
not. She colors her black hair a reddish
tint ; but her lIne eyes , her high forehead
and the friendly , clever expression of her
features indicate the mind of the thinker ,
the soul of the poet. She edits a literary-
critical periodical and writes west of the

high honor. On her father's side Miss
Ethel inherits beauty and dramatic gifts also
and at the tender age of 18 she made her
debut as the pretty. duhi-witted housemaid
in that charming play , "Rosemary. " Here
Miss l3arrymore acted under the direction of
her accomplished uncle , Mr. John Drew , and
her lovely face and her unmistakable talent
earned for her prompt recognition in Len-
don , " 11cr debut there was made at the
Lyceum theater in "Peter the Great , " and
as the wayward Euphrosyne the little Amer-
lean girl added another laurel leaf to her
growing crown. Last autumn her engage-
went to Sir Henry Irving's son Lawrence
was announced , but since then , by mutual
and friendly agreement , the romantic corn-
pact has been dissolved and Miss Barry-

to her country people the extent of her artistic -
tistic growth.
Frills of FaNhlioll.
Miniature army and navy buttons are now
mounted as scarf and stick pins.
Blue , black and brown coverts will bold
their own place among the summer fashlous.
Little satin jach'ets in black , green , gray
and other colors are just now in great cc-
quest.
A itatriotic pocketbook is made of either
red or white leather , with one side stamped
in colors to represent the flag.
Figured silk skirts which have been so
much worn with shirt waists are no longer
In style and must be laid aside by the fash-
lonably dressed women ,
A pretty style of trimming for black tat-
feta silk skirts is a number of rows of black
ribbon velvet. widest at the bottom and
graduated until It is about a quarter of an
inch wide.
Pale apple green and softest primrose
yellow is a favored color combination this
season , also lovely tints in pink , with sage
green or apricot. Lily white and deep
cream color are also united again.
Very many of the pretty duck suits In
Madras linens , piques and fancy crashes ars
made up in regular tailor fashion , being modeled -
eled in many Instances exactly after the
style of the checked and striped summer
tweeds and cheviuts.
Double and triple skirts , skirts flounced ,
trilled ruched , slashed , slightly draped.
tucked , accordion-pleated , kilted and skirts
severely plain , all find place and favor in
the briliiant summer procession of fashion.
Ribbon in failie , satin , gauze , grenadine ,
moire and velvet , In rows , poInts , waves ,
choux loupe , shoulder-knots and streamers
is used with lavish prodigality.
Very many of the semi-transparent toilets
of the season are made up unlined , to be
worn simply over a slip or bodice and petticoat -
ticoat of silk. In some cases the shot patterns -
terns are used , giving the pretty shadow or
two.toned effect , and this is a most satisfactory -
factory selection , as the colors of the silk
show In delicate shimmering lights through
the airy fabric. A rose and slIver shot silk
is exceedingly effective under sliver-gray
batiste.
Entire costumes of gray in very many dit-
ferent tones will be highly favored all summer -
mer , and skirts of gray , vigogne , mohair ,
canvas , etawine , ladles' cloth and repped
silk or wool will very largely take the place
of the useful and universal black skirt so
long worn with fancy waiats and Jackets.
A souvenir ring cominemoating the loss
of the Maine is made both of oxidized silver -
ver and sLiver gilt. It is a band and bears
a blue enameled field containing thirteen
stars , together with an inscription In raised
letters stating the date and place of the
destruction of the ship.

IMPORTANT PROBLEM F THE WAR

Clothing the army and navy is one of the
most important problems presented to the
Var and Navy departments for solution ,
The quartermaster general performs the
task for the army and the paymaster generai
for the navy. In time of peace the duty involves -
volves considerable labor , In time of war ,
and especially at the beginning of hostilities ,
when the public arc crying for a million
inca to be enlisted , clothed and put at the
front In ft minute , the task assumes the
proportions of a mountain in a tog.
Take the quartermaster general , for In-
stance. It is his duty to see that the big
army which the president has called to give
battle to the Spanish is clothed at the very
earliest possible moment , his usual sources
of supply are quickly exbausted. Others
must be found. New clothiig must be made.
The first thing the qua termaster general
does is to ascertain , as nearly as possible ,
the exact number of suits required , the kind
of suits , the number of shoes and underclothing -
clothing , also hats. The exact kind is then
specified in detail , and manufacturers and
Jobbers in that line of business arc fnrited
to submit bids for the whole or part of the
clothing needed , Accompanying every bid
is a check to guarantee that the terms of
the contract will be carried out to the letter.
These bids are submitted , together with
samples of the goods required. The bids arc
carefull3 examined and compared and the
lowest bidder ( the quality of goods being
satisfactory ) gets the contract. The goods
contracted for must be ready on time anti
delivered to the government. When they
are delivered they are inspected by govern-
went officials and , if all right , accepted.
Then they are forwarded to the storehouse
of the army at Philadelphia to await orders.
When a regiment is recruited and sworn
into the United States servko the captain
of each company makes out a requisition for
the number of uniforms needed and forwards -
wards the requisition to the quartermaster
of the regiment. The colonel approves of
the requisition. and then it is forwarded to
the brigade quartermaster , who , if he has
not the clothes required on hand , makes
a requisition on the corps quartermaster.
The latter , when uniforms are needed , makes
a requisition on the quartermaster general ,
who draws the supplies needed from the
depot at Philadelphia.
Upon the delivery of the clothing to the
regtmental quartermaster the captains of
the several companies are notified. The
captains march theIr men to headquarters
and there they receive he clothing apportioned -
tioned to them and forhtch the captain
gives a receipt to the Fegimental quartermaster -
master , who keeps it for h'is voucher. The
same formula for the issuIng-of clothing is
followed in the navy. ? .
Cost of Imnfriiis.
The army anti navy uniforms are made Ia
nearly every large city of .le union , and
the cost of those for the piftates is about
3 , and of those for mert.before the mast
is about $8 per man. Th1e'oIflcers' uniforms
range in prices from $5' to'$75. A bullet
will , however , pierce thono. as quickly as
the other. The unifoi7ig''the general pt.
ficers of the army Isa' double-breasted
blouse of dark blue cloth or serge , with
four outside patch pockets with flaps , a
rolling collar , with two rows of buttons ,
grouped according to rank , 'of the same
kind as those worn ow the dress coat. For
all other ofilcers a single-breasted blouse is
worn of dark blue cloth or serge , with
four outside pockets with flaps , falling collar -
lar , with five buttons in front of the same
kind as those worn on the dress coat. The
skirt of the dress coat extends from one-
third to one half the distance from the hip
joint to the knee.
Quite as Important as the clothes are the
shoes , For Cuban service the men will wear
dark brown canvas clothes , but the shoes
will be the same as worn at home. They
are common brogans , these shoes , stout of
upper and mighty of sole and heel , In fact
the army shoe is not a thing of beauty , but
on the march it is a joy forever , as every
veteran knows , They are made of cowhide -
hide , and , if possible , of the hide of a very
tough cow at that. They are exceedingly
broad of sole and heel and are made with
the double view of securing durability and
comfort.
At the beginning of the civil war shoes
were considered feminine and were but little
worn. Boots were the fashion and they were
made to fIt like a kid glove. The volunteers
for some months after the war began clung
to boots , not fancying the uncouth shoe.
But after a while necessity forced men to
accept the shoes ( pontoons , they were called
by the soldiers ) and , after being worn for
a few days , they were voted a luxury next
to milk in coffee , The service shoe Is made
by contract and averages in cost 75 cents per
pair ,
Soldiers' Underwear ,
The regulation sock Is made of wool and
so coarse as to give promise that it will last
through this war. Then there is the woolen
undershirt. It is a very important part of
the soldier's clothing. lie Is given one of
these undershirts , which Is made of wool.
lie must wash it himself , wring it out and
let it dry on his body if he is on the march ,
This method of cleanliness applies also to the
drawers and is possibly accountable for a
soldier's walk , suggesting that his thoughts
are busy with something else than the much-
talked-of romance of war. This wouldn't
happen were the soldier to receive two suits
of underclothes. But economy , and a disinclination -
clination to increase the weight the soldier
has to carry on his ifackwhen marching ,
have induced the goverimett to restrict its
warriors bold , In the r db1 to one suit of
underclothes apiece. 'The-warrior ' in the
ranks may not like it , 1i it is noticed that
when he comes home ' irth the war his
vocabulary is the rlcberC 3c
The sailor men fare bVtI'er in the matter
of clothes than the soldleh' boys on land.
The sailors have one piirOt blue and two
pairs of wjiito trousers , ie white and one
blue blouse , one suit of lTskns , two suits of
white canvas working C1'OthB , one blue cap ,
one white cover for dj,1bne oilskin sou'-
wester , two pairs of sh6es"antl last , but , in
the language at a eoldkr1"not least by a
hanged sight , " two suiJ t underclothes.
The troops of the cou tr ) might be clothed
more cheaply were theaftern and quality
of uniforms worn by te tfoops of several
foreign countries followed here , But this
government insists that its soldiers and
sailors must look well , and it is a well
known fact that members of the diplomatic
corps have frequently declared that the
United States army Is the best-dressed body
of soldiery on earth.
It falls also to the lot of the quartermas.
ter general and paymaster general to supply -
ply the service with flags. This , likewise ,
is a big item of expense. The exact amount
of expense , or the probable number of flags
which will be needed for the new army ,
cannot be learned at present , for the depart-
meats are behind with their records , and , to
quote the quartermaster general , it is
doubtful if they will catch up during the
present war. Most of the flags are made
In Philadelphia , and the bulk of the rest In
Boston and Lowell. They are purchased by
contract awarded to tbeiowest bidders. and

In the Hawaiian senate Minister Coopoer
introduced a bill providing for the introduction -
duction of not more than 5,000 Chinese Ia-
borers , One of the features of the bill Is
the iovision that each immigrant shall
give a bond that he will return to China
at th expiration of his contract. The purpose -
pose is to give the executive control over
the immigrants.
Thp amount of cotton produced in China
has been roughly estimated at about 666-
000,000 pounds per year. Vary little is 1w-
ported. A few bales of American cotton
have been recently imported , being adapted
to a fIner grade of yarn than the native
product. Mills operating about 420,000
spindles are working in Shanghai and vi-
dotty ; of these 35,000 have been running
eight to ten years ; the remainder have been
started since the Japanese war. At Shang-
bat the average pay is 10.6 to 13.3 cents per
day.
GOSSIP ABOUT NOTED MEN ,
Dr. Edward Everett Hale's story , "The
Man 'Without a Country , " has been repub-
lished. In a new introduction Dr. Hale
says : "It was the Intention of this parable ,
which describes the life of one man , who
tried to separate himself from his country ,
to shos' how terrible was his mistake. It
does not need now that a man should curse
the United States , as Philip Nolan did , or
that he should say that he hopes he may
never hear her name again , to make it desirable -
sirable for him to consider the lessons
which are involved in the parable of lila life.
The man who , by his sneers , or by looking
backward , or by revealing his country's seCrete -
Crete to her enemy , delays for one hour
peace between Spain and this nation is to
all Intents and purposes 'A Man Without a
Country , ' lIe has not damned the United
States In a spoken oath. All the same he is
a dastard child. "
The ChambcrsburgPa. ( ) Valley Spirit
recalls the fact that it was at the Girard
house , Philadelphia , that Judge Black first
uttered the story which has since wended
its way In and out of the highways and byways -
ways , near anti remote , about democrats and
whisky , It was on a Philadelphia hot
night. The air was still and stifling. A
friend of the Judge walked up to him mopping -
ping his brow and expressed his surprise
that the judge was not at Cape May salt.
Sing salt breezes. The judge assured his
visitor that such weather was of incalculable
benefit to humanity. "Why ? " "Well , you
see , it we didn't have hot weather we
wouldn't have corn ; If we didn't have corn ,
we wouldn't. have whisky , and it we didn't
hare whisky we wouldn't have democrats. "
Governor Atkinson of Georgia tells this
story at his own expense : "It was during
my recent Inspection of the convict camps.
Among other places I visited were the coal
mines , and in order to make a thorough in-
spectlon it was necessary to go down into
the mines and see the convicts at work ,
Two guards accompanied me down Into the
mines. They showed me everything of interest -
terest , and finally took me where the con-
nets were at work , As we approached them
one of the convicts rushed over to me , crying -
ing : 'Good Lord ! Bill Atkinson , as sure as
I live ! I never expected to see you here ,
What on earth , Bill , did they convict you of
doing ? ' I readily recognized the man as one
whom I had known since my boyhood , "
General Lee has been handicapped by a
great name , It has stimulated his pride
and ambition , but it has not Inspired any
vanity. When he was asked If this heritage
had helped or handicapped him , he said :
"It has been a heavy load. I have bad
the reputation of a lot of ancestors as wehi
as my own to look after. Whatever good I
bare done has been credited to them , and
whatever of evil has been charged to ma
and magnified , because people said they bad
a right to expect much better things of a
man of my blood and breeding ,
"When I was running for governor cf 'ir-
ginia , John Wise said that it my name had
been Fltahugh Smith I never would
have secured the nomination. I replied that
I had known a good many good men named
Smith , and would have been as proud of
that name as of the one I wore. In that
way I got the votes of all the SmIths in
Virginia , and a letter from a man who told
I me 'never to forget Captain John Smith ,
our first setUer , who kUIel I'ocsbont&a. ' "

JOhN A. SMITH , MILVAUKEES'IS. .
It is safe to say that nearly everybody
who has rheumatic pains has doctored till
they are discouraged. They nrc disgusted
wIth remedies that cost money aild won
try another unless it is proven to be a ape-
cub for the disease and not a mere drug to
eil. This is why John A. Smith who diii.
covered a remarkable cure for rheumatism
sends free to all a trial of his remedy so
that the sufferer may know positively that
Gloria Tonic cures the disease.
This is the proper va' t' ) get. people to try
the remedy as it is then used entirely upon
its merits and Is not subject to the mere
claims of other people , It is usual in mak-
log public the virtues of a remedy , to rely
upon testimonials but Mr. Smith believes
that It is a , better rilan to iet peopl. ' try it
and first learn for themselvi what the
remedy will do for their particular case. .
There are many leOPhe who are afraid to
try even this free sample package fearing
that it may contain something harmful.
But all such are assured that Gloria Tonic
is entirely safe and Cannot harm even a
baby. The Justice of the Peace of Cape
Island , N. S. Joe C. Atkinson , sent for a
trial package for his son , Moses Atkinson
who was in a critical condition. Arrange-
meats had already been completed to move
him to halifax Hospital for an operation
when the sample of Gloria Tonic arrived.
This gave relief and they tried a full size
box wIth the result that the hospital was
cheated of a lmtleflt and the son got well ,
This was a remarkable result but there are
hundreds of others equahiy interesting reported -
ported from other places. Mrs. Sarah A.
Archibald , of Lowell , Henry Co. , Intl. , cured -
ed herself of chronic rheumatism and so
thankful was she to be free from such a
frightful affliction that she is known as a
good samaritan by all the folks roundabout ,
having been instrumental in curing many
another sufferer in the country , Joseph
hloskins of Dodge'ihie , WIs. , suffered intensely -
tensely for three month and could scarcely
move. A single package of Gloria Tonic
cured him completely.
In Fountain city , Wit ; . , it cured Iron.
Jacob Sexauer. who suffered for E years.
Ho used everything he heard of besides employing -
ploying seven physicians. In Vincennes ,
Ind. , at No. 30 Oak street. It cured Miss Emma -
ma Callender who walked on crutches.
This young lady wrote the maker of Gloria ,
'i'flI , ' as founts's. Oh how thankful 1 itm
to Gloria Tonic for rescuing me from the
clutches of rheumatism. I am so glad I
saw the advertIsement in Christian Advocate -
cate for the , hysictans with whom I doctor-
eti and with 'hunt I spent over $ t)3 ( Ia she
months had given me tip to die. of course
I was not afrail of ( heath and am ready
when the Lord calls me home , hut I hava
an aged father find mother who I must
comfort in their old age and I fesl so
thankful ( lint Gloria Tonic cured me. Mr.
J. Schroder , of Laport , md. , writes : My
rheumatism was so severe that it dianbled
me from doing any vork , but thanks to
Gloria Tonic it completely cured me. Mrs.
Mina Scott , of Marion , Ohio , a render of
a Cincinnati methodist paper writes that
she used to be as helpless as a chilil ,
walked on crutches and was obliged to use
morphine to enable her to endure the pain ,
she used Gloria Tonic it. completely cured
her. She then cured an old lady who was
-also aihlicteil and who was b2 years old.
Mr. II. Buchholz , a gentleman of Norborne ,
Mo. , WItS cured after suffering ( or 25 years ,
It viil be interesting to note that Mr.
Smith was , himself an invaiid as a result
, ) f rheutnatisni. His feet s'ere so swollen
at times that he was confined to his bed
and at other times was completely prostrated -
trated by the intense rheumatic pains ,
He discovered Gloria Tonic by a fortunate
chance and ever since has devoted all his
time to making the remedy known. lie
finds sending free samples to all who apply
a very expensive drain on his finances , but
some day he expects to have the remedy
thoroughly known everywhere as the one ,
true unfailing cure for all forms of rheu-
ma tism ,
Write for a free sample today. If you
have a friend who suffers ask him to write
and if you know anyone in another town

may be released from the terrible Pains of
this ruthless disease.
