Gloves In mushroom shades are the fad of the hour , the newest tint being called "oyster. " Girdles and belt buckles In metal , set tlth a variety of gems , appear to be gain ing in popularity. Note pads with silver or Ivory covers ornamented with silver are more popular than ever as articles for the chatelaine. The latest patriotic design la a crystal button with a spread caglo on a shield. The coloring of the eagle Is especially at tractive. _ _ _ _ _ H Is the proper thing to wear embroid ered bilk stockings to match the gown. Very exquisite hosiery Is worked In tiny rosebuds , violets or for-get-me-nots. Superb' white watered silk , such as de lighted the stately dames of olden times , will be a favorite material for bridal dresses next season. The molrc fabrics of today , Ribbon trimmings will be much used In autumn millinery on both hats and toques. This Is a sensible fashion , since ribbon Is not easily hurt by uncertain autumn weather. The wide dlreclolre toque still re mains popular. The newest bathing suits are made of bunting , with a coarse lace yoke and neck , waist , knee and sleeve bands of cream mili tary braid. Hunting sheds the water more readily than brllllantlnc , but the beat ma terial of which a bathing suit can be raado Is all-wool or wool-and-sllk Jersey cloth. Yellow Is a color that appears to be gain ing constantly in fashionable favor , par ticularly In the realm of millinery-yi-Kow tulle , lace , Spanish blonde , crepe Iliuc end deep orange and rich olive velvets are mingled with double yellow hollyhocks , primroses , honeysuckle spiays and large yel low-hearted water lilies and roses. Many of the English serge dresses worn on the beach arc In colors of tan , gray , ma rine blue , cadet blue and Cuban red , and a number of the red gowns are made up with gulmpes or yokes of tan crcpon , shirred above the low-cut full blouse , which has deep , turn-down rovers at the top. The email shoulder puffs are of red serge , with closely fitted forearm portions of tan color , however , show much smaller waves. A method much employed In trimming autumn foulards Is to carry frills of inch wide ribbon round the silk to suggest a deep flounce and Its heading , nnd to supple ment a yoke collar , high stock epaulets and cuffs with two rows of frills In the same fashion. Foulards are now made with tight backs showing few seams , but Ihe front Is always full. A pretty little gown of tea-rose pink French zephyr goods , with tiny raised lines of white , worn by a very pretty debutante at a noted summer resort , Is made with one of the popular two-story skirts , the lower one cut with a decided flare and set on to the upper half wRh two very small ruffles bordered with very narrow pink ribbon. The ledge of the large flower flounce has three matching frills. The waist Is In surplice form , shirred Into yoke shape ; and also'at the waist , where a soft pink silk sash is carried twice around and knotted on th left Bidet at the back. Shoulder ruffles trimmed with rows of the ribbon outline the > eke nnd lace pleatlngs and folds of pink silk form the becoming collar and wrist trimmings. OUT OP TUB ORDINARY. Midshipman Morris of the Vlzcaya mourns the loss of n collection of nearly 2,500 post age stamps , I eluding many rare European varieties , which were destroyed In the Span ish ship. A locomotive of the iPennsyUanla rail way recently drew a train about three- quarters of a mile lone , made up of 130 loaded coal cars , from Altocna to Harrls- burg , 132 miles. In twelve hours. The welgnt of the train behind the tender was 6,212 tons , the locomotive weighing 104 tons. Even locomotive * have a big "pull" occa sionally. Most Chinese mandarins pass the whole of their lives without taking a single yard of exercise. The late Nanking viceroy ( father of tbo Marquis Tseng ) was consid ered a remarkable character because he al ways walked 1,000 steps a day In his private garden. Under no circumstances whatever is a mandarin ever seen on foot In his own jurisdiction. An unusual Instance of mountain railway construction , which at the present time IB being carried on with remarkable rapidity , is the line from Scheldegg , Switzerland , round the great glacier of the Elger , past the Monch , up to the very topmost point nearly of the Jungfrau , the height of the sta tion near the summit being 13,668 feet above the level of the sea , and this Is justly con sidered one of the most notable of mod ern engineering achievements. During the la t stason travel ha * been practicable from Interlaken to Scheldegg by rack railways already in operation , one of these leaving ( be adhesion road at Zurel Lutschlnen , the other at Lauterbrunnen. The new railway will , when completed , take passengers 7,000 foci above Bcheldegg. The locomotives are to have cogwheels fitted Into a rack , the openings In which correspond to the teeth of the wheels , the rack being placed be tween two steel rails of the ordinary ad hesion pattern. The motive power is to be supplied by electricity , while the tunnels and galleries will bo lighted throughout by incandescent electric lamps. It Is expected that the line will be In operation to the top of the Jungfrau in three or four years. The farmers of Iowa are making suc cessful a system of Insurance against hall , company organized for that purpose at Des Molnes five years ago having DOW more than 30,000 policies nnd more than 110,000,000 In risks , covering over 2,000,000 acres of farming lands. It baa paid in losses 17.000 In 1893. 135.000 in 1894. 81.- 000 in 1895 , $281,000 In 1S96 , and 1204,000 in 1S97 , or a total of $600,000. The average as sessment has been 7 cents per acre a year. The concern Is mutually co-operative. Mem ber * pay a fee of $2 and 2 mills on the amount on which insurance Is asked , and the association Insures Its members , their heirs or assigns against loss or damage by hall to the growing crops to an amount not to exceed $600 on 160 acres , according to government survey. No loss is paid which occurs later than September 20. This form of insurance protection against a danger which constantly menaces western farming has been found as satisfactory In practical test , it Is said , as the tornado associations of the same region. A farmer whose crops are Injured and who docs not receive pe cuniary compensation gets one bushel of the kind of grain destroyed for each 100 bushels raised by the other members of the co-operative company. BROOKLYN'S ' WAR LESSONS Officers of the Gallant Cruiser Tell What They Learned in Onb&n Waters. EFFICACY OF THE RAPID-FIRE GUNS AilvnntftRre of High Speed anil Tnll SrankeMncki Admiral 9ctilt ) ' * I'raUe for the ( inllnnt Work of the Crew < ( Copyright. 1591 , hy S. S. McClure Co. ) NEW YOIIK , Aug. 23. "You can almost read the lesson learned by the Brooklyn during this war In the stars , " said Admiral Schley with twinkling eyes. He waved one hand suggestively toward the American ensign flaunting from the taffrall staff of the famous armored cruiser as he spoke. "As for the share of the crew and this ship In the victory of the Santiago fight , only one thing can be said they did their duty as Americans and American ships always nave and always will. In all my experience I have never before witnessed , such fatally accurate and deadly shooting as was done by our fleet as It closed In on Cervera's squadron during the battle of July 3. Out all this Is an old story. That we happened to be In the thick of the fight was a piece of good luck for which we are all thankful. The speed of the Brooklyn bad something to do with It , of course. And you can give the praise for that to those who designed It , and the faithful crew below In the engine and flre rooms. They worked as never men worked before. You wish me to give your readers an Idea of the cfllclency of the armored cruiser class of war ships as proved by the Brooklyn's experience ? " The rear admiral smiled and glanced to ward a number of navy yard officials just boarding the ship , adding In his character istic , genial manner : "I am afraid I must veueli of the Ilrooklyn typo find ample protection In the protective deck , which Is three Inches on the flat and six Inches on the ilopo , In the three-Inch belt and In the eight Inches guarding the barbette turrets. It la evident that the constructors were happy In their selection of the armor. The Injury reported to have been sustained dur ing the Santiago flght , when one of the compartments was flooded below the wattr line , wai due to a water valve being opened through .some unknown cause. "In regard to the question of armament It has been claimed In some quarters that a battery consisting entirely of 6-Inch rapld-flre guns would be more efficient than the Brooklyn's present battery , which In cludes eight 8-Inch and twelve 5-Inch rapid- fir crs , nnd a secondary battery of twelve 6-pounders , tour 1-pounders , four Colts and two field guns. The question Is susceptible to argument of course , but I think the 8-Inch guns of the Brooklyn did their share In the Santiago flght. We flred 100 rounds of 8-lnch shells. Those , combined with the 8-lnch projectiles flred by the Iowa , Oregon nlng the secondary battery mutt not 1 * forgotten. They handled Ih'e light guns coolly nd iikllltully , notwithstanding their exposed position , and the question as to the advisability of utlllilng the marine guard In tuch work should bo considered settled. " tfttlr liliN | nnd Crnlurr * . The lieutenant was asked how , In his opinion , nrraorcd cruisers compared with battleships as proved by his experience on board the Brooklyn. From the manner of hla reply It Is evident he Is an enthusi astic advocate of the Brooklyn class. "Both battleships and tail armored cruisers arc necessary In every fighting fleet , " he Bald , "but , I think , from the greater range of the latter and their higher speed , they are really of more value than the battleships. The moral effect on an enemy naturally exerted by craft like the Indiana or Iowa must bo admitted , but for quick , sharp work , great speed and cruis ing range and effective action the armored cruisers cannot be beaten. tVhat better fighting machines can be found In any refer you to Mr. Hodgson , the navigator. He will doubtless give you the information you desire. " Lieutenant Hodgson Is the cruiser's navigating officer. Admiral Schley said of him in his report of the Santiago battle : "The navigator , Lieutenant A. C. Hodgson , was most steady and conspicuous in every detail of duty , contributing to the accurate firing of this ship ( Brooklyn ) in her part of the great victory. " He seemed to think that his testimony could not be of much interest , but he finally consented to talk briefly. "The lesson learned by the Brooklyn , " he began , "Is the same aa that learned by every ship In the fleet. We probably can give | better testimony from the fact that we were struck by the enemy's projectiles a greater' ' number of times than any other vessel , but i really the only additional knowledge acquired is that Spanish shells of the caliber flred by Cervera's ships are useless against the three to eight-inch armor carried by the Brooklyn. The marks and scars show that we were reached about twenty-five times , but. as you see , we are still afloat. "The recent war proved conclusively that Our ability to brew a beer of unusual high quality gives us an extraordinary abil ity to please consumers. VAL.BLATZ BREWING Go. MILWAUKEE. U.S.A. For Sale fcv Foley Bros. , Wholesale Dealer * Ml2 Douglas Street Omaha , Neb. Tel. 1061 UJD-HAND Mercies and Indiana , worked terrible havoc on the I Marie Teresa , the Almtrante Oquendo , the ; Vlzcaya and the Colon. One of these shells struck the latter ship , landed In the ward room and exploded , wrecking the compart ment and ktlllne a number of the enemy. The Marie Teresa was struck by an 8-Inch shell from our ship , which entered the side just forward of the port beam. The projectile burst and disabled the four crews of the guns on that deck. The 8-Inch breech loader Is a formidable weapon and It is certainly not out of place on an armored cruiser. "The official reports made by the ships of Admiral Sampson's fleet prove that tha main results of the battle off Santiago | were achieved by the 8-lnch and lower . calibers , and the rapld-flre pieces. Too | much praise cannot be given to the men at the latter guns for their extraordinary skill and ability. The perfect ball of pro jectiles showered upon the fleeing ships bj the 5-Inch rapid-Brers was almost beyond belief. Captain Eulate's testimony that 'the Brooklyn's fire on our broadside was fright ful and the men could not stay at their guns' proves how the crews worked the pieces. Although twelve of these terribly destructive guns are carried , only six could b used during the running flght , as only that number would bear on the broadside , but the sis guns did their vsork nobly. The Vlzcaya was hit six times by the Brooklyn's E-lncb breech loaders , the Infanta Marie five , the Cristobal Colon four and the Oquendo five. One of the shells exploded a torpedo on the latter vessel with terrible effect This shows a total of twenty hits , which , when the fact that the target was moving rapidly Is taken Into consideration , Is really remarkable. No , taking It all In all , I do not believe the battery of the Brooklyn can be improved. Results naturally speak for themselves and the results obtained by the ship in the recent war are eloquent. "The efficient work of the marines man- navy than the New York or the Brooklyn ? They have a speed of twenty knots or more , splendid batteries , ample armor , a coal supply of 1,461 tons and a radius of action of 6,088 knots at a ten-knot speed. With the new colonial policy of the United States , to which they are not yet com mitted of Qourae , but which is surely bound to follow , such vessels as the New York and Brooklyn will be of the greatest value. Future naval building programs will certainly include that type of ship. " Men Cool as Though * t Practice. In reply to a question as to the con duct of the Brooklyn's crew during tbo Santiago action , Lieutenant Hodgson spoke In warm praise. The coolness and daring , the utter sangfroid shown by all on board from the oldest man down to the youngest apprentice , was something absolutely mar vellous. "If It had not been for the series of thuds proclaiming the landing of the Spanish shells against our sides , and the terrible rending and crashing sounds as the enemy's ships blew up , one would nave thought the whole affair simply a drill at general quarters. One of the lessons learned by the Brooklyn ( but it Is really superfluous ) , Is the won derful capabilities of the American man-of- war's man as a fighter. It bos not re quired years of actual practice to place the Yankee bluejacket at the top of the heap. We have men aboard here who , If dressed as citizens , would give a Quaker odds In meekness of appearance , but when that fleet slipped out past Morro castle and made for the west they fought like demons. If you should ask one of the boys what he thought of the fight , he'd probably grin and shrug bis shoulders. It was merely a 'scrap. ' " The question of the torpedoes did not In terest the lieutenant. They apparently played such a small part In the late war that It would be useless to discuss their value. The experience of the Oquendo , however , will probably result In baal&hlof torpcdoe * from decks above the wnlr line whenever It Is practicable , Tnll MnoUriMnrku Alilril Sltnctl. The one peculiarity In the conilructlon of the Ilrooklyn moot prominent to the casual observer Is her lofty ( sml UKly ) smoke fun nels. She carrlw three which tower abe the decks almost DM high ns the slgnnl tnafls. These stacks \\ert ? advocated by Chief Engineer Melville , nnd the testimony of the cnsln rlng force of the cruiser Is In their favor. The lofty funnels really glvo the result which li usually obtnlneA by the use of forced drnuRht a device whlih experience has proved liable to lead to the ruin of the boilers. The forced draught system causes revere expansion and contraction strains , and usually stnrt I leakage at the tube ends. This Is not present In natural draught , and the i Brooklyn's experience has shown that ns gcod results can Ixs obtained by lengthen- I Ing the smokestacks ns by the employment of the torceU drauf-ht system. The lesson learned by the Brooklyn In the Spanish-American war can becm - bodied In these recommendations , which will be made by the proper boards : 1. That S-lnch guns and rnpld-flrers ot all calibers should bo given the greatest prominence. 2. That nit wood work so far ns possible should be abolished In war ( hlpe. 3. That the pipes of flre mains should bo laid below the- protective deck. 4. That light armor and great speed are requisite to an efficient cruising vessel. H. H. LEWIS , Late U. S. N.

There was a man stand ji ing at the entrance , an official with a band i around his bat ; so I stepped up to him and i paid : 'Can you tell me If this hotel la con . ducted on the European plan ?
