Frank Leslie and Other Writers Offer Timely Sngces ilons The Garments That Are Kent and Beautiful. IWKITTEr TOE TBI CISFJLTCB.1 The subject of woman's dress is at present attracting thought which has never been be stowed upon it before. This statement may seem at first glance to be an exaggeration, and it will be argued that women are now so for advanced intellectually that they have less time for, and inclination toward the vanities of life than formerly when shut out from so many avenues of pleasure and oc cupation now freely conceded them; bnt it must be remembered that dress is now regard ed as more than a necessity or conceit, it it re ceiving intelligent thought directed toward harmonious adaptation to men and conditions. Formerly a woman obeyed fashion's behest, though It made her a f right to look upon, and compelled the sacrifice of all bodily comfort, while now women stop to ask the question, "Is this thing consistent with health, comfort and artistic beauty?" and nothing is more certain than that the leaders of fashion, the women who have the time and money to devote to the study and patronage of art, are now directing attention toward securing genuine effects in dress. Not a day passes but I am visited by some well-known ladv of the beau monde who assures me that my efforts in behalf of con sistent dress are warmly endorsed by the omen who give prestige to styles of clothing zmpossiDie lor otners 01 less social prominence than themselves. Recently I received this interesting request from a stately dame of marked social influence: "If possible show in your next number of Dress a style of ontflt complete for women between the ages of 3S and 45, which shall 'embody the absolute principles of health and beauty, a thousand women of good sense and independ ent position are ready to adopt such an outfit and make it fashionable." COMMON SEKSE IN DBESS. Is this not significant. To me it seems the precursor of a reign of common sense and ar tistic grace which will completely revolutionize essential clothing, lifting it above the mere dead level of the commonplace on the one hand, or the novel and grotesque on the other. The first steps have been taken which must lead naturally to consistent dress. The idea that dress is unimportant (which people of brain force once affected to believe) has been disposed of; and we are getting rid of the be lief also that exaggeration and disproportion are essential to style. Women are coming to admit the possession of their different essential members which to do; it was formerly con Eidered a vulgarity and the demand for room In which to breathe and exercise is no longer regarded as absolutely unreasonable. The tea-sown has come to stay and encour age other flowing styles of robes. Look at the spring walking bodices; at least two-thirds of the different styles admit full fronts of one sort or a lother, calculated to more or less dis guise the sharp line of the bosom which was a lew years since tne essential reaiure 01 a street costume strictly en regie. And now that women are beginning to realize that flesh must go somewhere, and to admit that the general distribution to waist, and hips, and shoulders is more pleasing by far than the exaggeration of either the hip or shoulders for the mere effect of a rednced waist line, the out look for a reign of healthful and graceful dress was never better than at present. And Paris, too, arrays herself on our side by pronouncing against the bustle, that monstrosity which has converted woman into an upright dromedary for several years. There can be no doubt whatever bnt disproportion and discord in dress are about t be relegated to obscurity, and grace and individuality will be the order of the day. There is an immense field for young and as pirlng artists, for the future dressmaker must be more than a journeyman and seamstress; she must have ideas and intelligent adapta tion. ELEGANT AND BECOMING ATTIBE. Believing, as I do, that beauty is of supreme importance, I should advise every woman who has the leisure for it to devote at least one hour daily to the study of anatomical proportion, of harmonious development, and finally to under standing the relation between the personal qualities of shape and style and their further relation to cut, form and coloring. In short, no question can be of much more importance to women of leisure, at least, than the question of how to put themselves en rap port with the harmonies of universal nature. Anne Jennbss Miller, Editor of Dress. The most becoming dress is that (on general principles) which shows the woman to the best advantage not that whieh makes the woman the lay figure for the dress. The "pretty" dress is not therefore, and necessarily, the be coming dress. Jenny June. In a letter the late Mary Louise Booth, for many years editor of .Harper" Bazar, touched on the art of dress in the following lines which, have not been printed: "The fine art of dress, in my opinion, is to give the impression of an elegant and har monious tout ensemble, not one of the details of which Is so conspicuous as to dwell In the memory of the beholder. To do this, one must carefully study his or her individual physiog nomy, and perfectly adapt the dress thereto, as well as to the occasion on which it is worn. A single showy bit will mar the otherwise faultless morning attire, at any negligee ap pearance will spoil the most beautiful evening toilet. How to dress becomingly is an art which cannot be taught in a lesson; I am in clined, indeed, to think that it cannot be easi ly acq aired by study, but must be in parts in structive." The modifications in ladles' dress, as exem plified in the spring and summer styles, are somewhat more marked this season than usual. Heretofore, the new fashions have specially favored slender figures; but those at present coming in are less bouffant, and will afford to ladles tending to embonpoint a better oppor tunity for the display of costumes at once ele gant and Decoming. Slight women can, of course, select plaids and large figures; while stouter ones appear to better advantage in plain or striped materials, which give grace and compactness to the lines of the form.

A Handsome Testimonial Presented to a Braddock Comrado In the Prcsenes of a Large Concourse of People General News and Notes of Interest to Veterans The Comlm National Encampment. A large concourse of people, embracing many of the representative people of Braddock, Grand Army men, and many ladies, completely filled Lytle's Opera House in Braddock on Fri day evening. The gathering was ostensibly for the pnrposo of holding a fraternal open meeting, but the real and principal object was apparent when the meeting was fairly under way. After Comrade J. F. Denniston, who ably presided, opened the exercises, and the Industrial Quartet rendered a selection, Comrade A. P. Burchfleld stepped forward, and in a neat speech presented to Captain W. R, Jones a beautiful piece of statuary on behalf of the comrades of the Penn sylvania Department as a testimonial to Com rade Jones as a warm-hearted fnendofthe soldier and for his servioes as Past Senior Vice Department Commander. The Captain was visibly affected, and replied to the presenta tion speech of Comrade Burchfleld in a feeling manner. Very eloquent remarks were made by com rades William Asbworth, Rev. T. N. Boyle, Dr. H. K. Beatty. H. H. Bengough and Com mander John L. Jone,of the Braddock post,No. 18L The Industrial Quartet sang several patriotic national songs during the evening. The present to Comrade Jones is a handsome piece of Italian marble, representing an armed hunter on the lookout for game. It is full of action and Is a work of art In the fullest sense of the word. It stands 21 inches high and is about 13 inches broad, was Imported from Italy by the firm of Wattles &. Sheafer, from whom it was purchased, and is one of the finest pieces of work of Its kind ever brought to this coun try. Among the prominent visiting comrades from this city were J. B. Eaton, of Post 8; O. M. Head, of Post 259, and Hodgdon McCune, of Post 643. Post 643 was well represented. Great credit is due Comrade Thomas R. Boss, who has had charge of the affair from its inception. A very pleasant evening was spent by all present. The Commander in Chiefs Appeal. Another strong appeal for a 1-cent rate to Milwaukee has been made by Commander In Chief Warner to the railroads. The refusal to grant this rate is not in keeping with the prom ises distinctly made in order to induce the holding of the Encampment at Milwaukee. Had these promises not been made the Encamp ment would not have been held at Milwaukee. There is but one reason why the place of meet ing should not be changed to some other city: Consideration for the comrades and people of .rauw&uKee who nave oone so nooiy in prepar ing for the what was to have been great meeting. It will, of course, be a great meeting anyhow, but not great in numbers, as not ono half, no, not one-quarter of the people will go that would were a satisfactory rate given. The appeal of the Commander in Chief is appended: Heabquabtebs a. A. K., ) Kansas City, lio., June 17, iSS9. 1 . To the Passenger and Traffic Associations of the United States: I have the honor once more to bring to your at tention the fact that unless a rate of one cent per mile can be agreed oa by the various Traffic Asso ciations, it will s erlontiy cripple the attendance of old soldiers at the Milwaukee Kncampment in August next. When the Encampment was located for this year at Milwaukee. Wis., it was done on the faith of promises made that the railroad fares should not exceed the rate of one cent per mile traveled, the same as was given by the various railroads to the Columbus Lncampment last vear. It has come to the knowledge or .National Head quarters O. A. K. that discriminations have been made, and are still being made, by the railroad companies In favor of certain civic organizations, allowing them a lower rate or fare to their re unions man is now nxeo lor t&osewnorisaea tneu lives that this Government might live. I therefore earnestly ask of you that you will not let this appeal to give the old veteran a chance to once more meet with his comrades (many of whom are obliged to lay aside the money required to pay this railroad fare from the pittance of a pension received from the Government) go unheeded, but that you will favor me with an early and affirma tive reply. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, William Wabnxr, Commander in Chief, Official: Eugene f. Weigel, Adjutant General. One by One They Are Righted, Assistant Secretary Bussey has returned a decision in the case of Richard Whiting, late of Company C, Thirty-third Missouri. The claim ant was wounded at Tupelo, Miss., July 14, 1S64, and while lying on the field of battle in a help less condition received a sunstroke which soon after discharge caused chronic nervous prostra tion and impairment of mind, resulting in 1871 in imbecility. The wife and guardian of the claimant filed an application for pension in 1SS3, which was granted, the rate being fixed at S24 per month. Subsequently, in 1885, the rate of pension was increased to $50 per month. The claim came before Assistant Secretary Bussey upon an appeal filed by the pensioner's wife and guardian, the-ground of contention being that the pension should have begun at the date of the pensioner's discharge, instead of the date of the filing, inasmuch as the limitation of the arrears act excepts from its operation all claims in behalf of insane persons. On this ground Mr. Bussey allows arrears from the date of discharge. The Assistant Secretary de cided that claimant's dlsabdities entitle him also to a re-ratlng and increase of pension under the acts of 1872, 1874 and 1880, the final rating being 72 per month from June 1 18S0.

Some Uinta as to Baggage and tho Custom Honsa Inspections. THE EXPENSE OF 'EXISTENCE ABE0AD tWRITTSK VOR THE DISFATCXL1 Whether it is that the restless American nature becomes dissatisfied, for the time being, with its surroundings, or desires to wander further afield than the vrlde extent of territory over which the great American eagle spreads its wings, certain it is that the number of Pitts burg people who travel eastward, making Eu rope their destination, becomes yearly greater, ' and already indications are not wanting that this season the tide of travel, setting probably in the direction of Paris, will be stronger than ever. It is good that those who, by good fortune, can manage it should shake them free from the shackles of business or the dull rou tine of dally toil, and refreshing the mind, while recuperating the body, amid fresh scenes and new glimpses of life, return after the holi day with invigorated zest forthe bustle and strife of business. During the time approaching when mills will be shut down and business more or less stag nant, the idea of vacation will naturally rise to the mind and long and earnest discussions will ensue in the family circle as to the possibility of taking in new ground not hitherto attempted. Longing eyes will be turned in the direction of Paris and the attractions of the Exposition may prove too many for those who have not yet summoned up their courage to the sticking point of undertaking an ocean trip. The few hints and suggestions set forth in the follow ing, and in which the old traveler will find nothing new, may be of some service to those who may contemplate an initial voyage across the Atlantic Primarily, then, as to the different routes by which Paris mav be reached. There is ample choice. From New York to Antwerp the time is 11 days, and this line may be selected by some, as it affords an opportunity of seeing, in the Belgian town, the celebrated Cathedral, containing some of Ruben's masterpieces, and of listening to its famous chimes. , ONE WAT OP GOING. From this the journey to Paris is accom plished in six hours, and a stop over at Brus sels, frequently called the "Lesser Paris," will prepare the traveler for the greater mag nificence of the Queen of the Universe. Then there is the line to Rotterdam, Holland, time ten days, Paris, nine hours; and the French line to Havre conveys the touristto this quaint, old-fashioned Norman town within eight days after leaving New York, Paris being reached in 4 hours along the picturesque valley of the Seine. From Havre a run across the bay to Trouville, one of the most fashionable of French watering places, will afford an agree able relaxation and opportunity of comparl. son of it with Narragansett Pier and Long Branch. Finally, there is the line to Southampton, seven hours distant from Havre, and the many lines terminating at Liverpool, from which port the 200 miles, to London may be covered in lire hours, and thence the journey to the French capital accomplished by several routes, ranging in time from 8 to 10 hours. As a matter of information the approximate cost of these routes is appended below. New York to Antwerp. To Paris. First-class 8 6000 S OT Second-class 40 00 8 00 New York to Rotterdam. To Paris. First-class S 77 00095 00 $9 70 Second-class 60 00 7 80 . New York to Havre. To Paris First-class -S100 00 and up. f6 00 Second class 4 60 The cost of the round trip Is twice as much, less 1U per cent. Having decided on the route the next matter of importance is to arrange for a supply of money, and this is best accom plished by obtaining through your banker a circular letter of credit for the required amount. It is best to have it drawn on London instead of Paris, as the exchange favors the former. This is infinitely preferable to carrying notes or gold, as either may be stolen and used, while the owner alone can draw on the letter of credit, and drafts made on It just as required. The traveler should also procure a passport from the State Denartment at Washington, as it will be very useful in identifying tne owner and save him, perhaps, a little trouble should the French police take him for some one else on whom they bad been requested to bestow a little polite attention. The less baggage a traveler takes with him the greater will be his peace of mind, and be should see that his cabin trunk is so shallow as to fit under his bunk, else be will find his wife or his cabin mates ardently wishing he bad forgotten to come on board. WATCH THE BAGGAGE. On the French and' Belgian railways each passenger's allowance ot free baggage is SO pounds: he will find it is carefully weighed and that he is charged for every ounce of excess at about 5 cents per pound. It is not of infrequent occurrence with unwary travelers on the Conti nent to find themselves billed for excess to the cost of their own transportation. Therefore, prospective travelers, cut down your paraphe rnalia to the lowest limit. Neither should you forget that your trunks will be subjected to a rigid inquisition on landing; and If you propose to take along a supply of cigars or a box or so ot the fragranttbougbt.lnspiringtoby,take care that you break-them, else at the English ports you will be required to pay a duty of somewhere about SI 25 per pound, tnough, with regard to the tobies, it is questionable if the officials would recognize them as coming under this head as the duty is demanded only on cigars made out of tobacco. The six-shooter may be left behind, as it is not carried there, and it might be confiscated by the English-anthoritles, who profess great anxiety for the welfare of their cousins, and in their opinion it might injure the owner. Should the traveler be bound for London, In the first instance, it will save him considerable trouble tu have bis trunks shipped right through, as on passing the customs at Liver pool they will be looked after by the railway company over whose system he travels. Ex cellent saloon and sleeping cars are provided between these points, and special arrangements as to the comlort and convenience of people traveling In a party are made by the railway company. Here the tourist will find himself initiated into the mysteries of the "tip," and before be stands on his native soil again the custom will have thoroughly familiarized itself with him. If a porter carries his valise to the cab he will remind him of his existence by a touch of the cap and the extended palm, outstretched to re ceivo anything from a shilling (25 cents) to S pence (6 cents). Should he desire information from the station inspector It will be immedi ately furnished and the proferred gratuity pocketed with a 'dexterity betokening long practice, and so on tnroup;h all the grades of the serving class. A similar sttto of adaptabil ity to receive will be experienced on the con tinent, only more so. A CHOICE OF HOTELS. Arrived in London, the traveler has the choice of dozens of hotels at prices from tl 50 per day for a room in the top regions of such palaces as the Victoria, Grand and Langbam, down to the modest and quiet, yet comfortable, smaller hostelries and private boarding houses and inns in the streets running from the Strand and Fleet street to the embankment, and in which good rooms can be had from 75 cents per dav unward. and board and lodging combined. served in one's own room, if desired, at from W to $10 per week, The neighborhood of tha Strand, embracing the hotels mentioned, is the most central quarter in which to locate, having within easy reach the Houses of Parliament, Government offices and Westminster Abbey on the one hand, with the theaters 20of which, are within a radius of a few hundred yards Oxford aud Regent streets, Piccadilly and Clubland on the otbor. The most direct way of reaching Paris is by way of Havre, the traveler stepping from the boat into the train, and it he is booked through he will not be troubled by the customs until ho reaches his destination at the St. Lazure sta tion. Here he will make acquaintance with the gllb-tongued. polite, bnt sometimes pom- Sous French official.and be directed to enter the alle desBagages, where the duane or custom officials will quickly overhaul bis effects In search of jewelry or cigars (the manufacture of the latter being a monopoly of the French Government). He should at once produce his keys on being requested, as the French dis play a decided antipathy toward kickers, whom they will detain on some trivial excuso for an unlimited period, if tbeyshow any impatience. Guards wilt be observed at the exits, and no one can pass them until the customs examina tion is done with. Another kind of search, which, where for eigners aro concerned, is performed by duane officials is on account of the octroi or munici pal tax. This is a tax levied on market stuffs, etc., coming 4nto the city, and is the source from which the main revenues of the city aro derived. The traveler will have secured infor mation as to hotels, etc, from the agents ot the line at Havre, and gathering up bis baggage, with the assistance of a few sous and a porter, be is prepared to be conveyed to his lodgings. No attention should be paid to the would-be guides, chevaliers d' Industrie, and other vaga bonds, who conceive every. stranger to the city to be their legitimate prey. A CENTRAL POINT. The St. Lazare station is in the immediate neighborhood of such -prominent thorough- 1889. fares as the Boulevard Haussman, Boulevard desltaliens, Malesherbes, the Chausee d'Antln and Faubourg St. Honore, and he cannot do better than select a residence in one or other of the fine hotels in this section or take np his abode in furnished lodgings, maisonsmenbless, in which he will be as private and independent as if he commanded the whole bouse. It is necessary, however, when engaging turnlshed apartments, to observe very carefully the con dition of everything appertaining toNthe place, pointing out every Imperfection or damage and having a complete list ot the furniture made out, so as to prevent any attempt at imposition on the part, of the owner when yielding np pos session. Travelers have been frequently .mulcted in heavy damages by the French courts on the plaint of these sharks charging them with damage to furniture caused or tbelr prede cessors. A very good room can be had in these apartment houses atS francs per day (60 cents), and a room with dressing room adjoining for about tL About the same figures rule in the Second-rate hotels. In such hotels as the Windsor, Bristol and Continental the highest figure for bedroom and sitting room is from 85 to 87 per day,but in the same hotels and they ranlc among the best rooms can bo bad from 81 50t A cab nde from the station to any hotel will cost in a voiture de place or common cab about 38 cents; after nightfall abont 45 cents, and in a voiture de remise, or cab of better class, which are generally hired at a livery stable, about 38 cents, and 65 cents at night. SECESSAOT INFOBMATIOH-. Baggage is conveyed on the top ot the vehicles at a rate of 5 sous (5 cents) for each piece, and in addition to the fare, the Parisian cocher invariably receives a pourboir of a few sous. The traveler will soon recognize, under its French appellation, the already familiar "tip." The French cocher is obliged to give his fare a number, and should anything be left in the vehicle, it will be found at the Per fecture of Police. The Parisians never eat breakfast at the hour customary with us. On rising they take a cup of cafe an lait and a roll, and at 12 o'clock eat their breakfast, or what they term "dejeuner a la f ourcbettc" Their dinner hour is at any time after 0 in the evening, and generally about 8 o'clock. But strangers can always get a meal in the morning at most cafes, though they generally present a sleepy appearance at that early hour, nor is it surprising when they have remained open np to Sand 4 o'clock A. JL A good breakfast can be hacLfor 3 francs (60 cents) and a first-class dinner for 5 francs. This includes vin ordinaire, which is served at every meal without charge, as coffee is here. The Parisian is seen at his best when seen at home, and he is at his own fireside 'cbezlui' when sitting in his favorite cafe, sipping his coffee or absinthe, or whatever particular bev erage be affects, playing cards or laughing at himself or anybody and with .anyone, whiling away the time until another upheaval of so ciety causes him to turn his gaze in the direc tion of the political horizon., , The man who cannot eniov himself in Paris is to be pitied. There are attractions for all. The artist will regale himself in the Louvre and stand enraptured before the Yenus of Milo. The European House, the most mag nificent structure of its kind in the world, will find as many admirers without as the rich melodies within. Various sensations will be experienced by the conjunction on the island in the Seine, 'la Cite,' of the Palais de Justice, Notre Same and the Morgue; the beautiful Gardens of the Tnllleries will repay many and many a visit, and some time will be spent at the Place de la Bastille, where stood at onetime the notorious prison of the name, and which is now said to oe the point of greatest traffic, about 50,000 vehicles passing through in 24bours. As a matter of expense it may be stated, that Paris can be very well done, outside 'ot actual traveling expenses, on 85 per day, and this would be a fair factor on which to base an esti mate of the actual outlay necessary for a trip there and back.

Theater patrons are familiar with the fact that "The Ticket of Leave Man," written by Tom Taylor, is one of the most interesting melo-aramas ever presented. It has more merit in one act than all the modern English melo-dramas put together. It was not con structed for the purpose of allowing the star to give the whole show himself, but allows all In the company to share the work and applause if the impersonation be good. The company which will be here this week is composed of good people, who are well qualified to give sat isfaction to the most critical of audiences. The trials of "poor hunted-down Bob Brierly" never fail to enlist the sympathies of the people out front and the clever detective work ot Hawkshaw in running down Jim Dalton always wins applause. The full cast is as fol lows: Bob Bnerly, Frank Klldayr James Dal ton, Frank McCabe; Hawkshaw, Julian Rus sell; J&cUeriloa, George Hcheaffer: Mr. Gib ton, Frank Offerman; Ham WMoughby, Frank Frayne, Jr.; Mallby, Henry Atkins: May Ed wards, Miss Alice Endres: Mrt.

Out of the current's hurrying way, Where great ripples rise and play Among the willows, and the shore F Hears the same story L" o'er and o'er Of the great river's endless flow, Now raging high, now tinkling low, There on the marge, and idly rocked By every eddy, tightly locked In timber, drift and wil low wands. An empty cradle met the bands Of ttfose who searched the wat'ry way For victims of that fearful day When Death came conquering as he TZ- The valley of the Conemaugh. But as the searchers nearer drew No smiling babe came Into view, No dainty bead the pinow press ed, No tiny hand the craft caressed; Yet coverlet and linen lay As If the cherub were away A moment, and a r moment more Wonld seek his ship beside tne shore. "V S ' And who shall tell tbe tale behind The cradle's curtain? Who shall find The log-book of that tiny boatf How could that fragile vessel float In that wild whirl of furious flood Dyed deep with many a hero's bloodt And where the babe?

"I have been a Pittsbnrger, man and boy, for CO odd years, but I never saw things so ripe for an epidemic of typhoid fever, dysen tery, cholera morbus and a host of other dis eases of the alimentary canal and general system. The w. ter we now have, and will have all summer, is, I know from my own analysis, sufficient to cause a pestilence of the most terrible description. Besides this, for one purpose or another, the streets are being torn up. excavating ior building going on, everywhere laying bare that stratum of gravel which for a century nasbeen used as a sewer and drain. I would advise everyone who can do so to get ont of the city for the summer." The foregoing are the remarks of one of the oldest physicians in the citv, who de clined to give his name for publication. No one donbts the soundness of the medi cal man's advice: but the question arises: "Where can the Pittsburg business man go, and get, for himself and his family, all the advantages of the country, and still not neglect his business?" -There is but one place, viz: Idlewood Hotel and cottages. Idlewood, a beautiful suburb of Pitts burg, is located five miles from the city, on the Panhandle Railroad, and "is as free from the murky atmosphere of Pittsburg as if located in Yellowstone Park," as Mr. Siebeneck, of the Chronicle Telegraph, re marked. The proximity of Idlewood to the city.and the fact that, at moderate cost, businessmen and their families can enjoy all the pleas ures of rustic surroundings there while keeping their business hours with the same facility as if living in the city, makes it a permanent favorite. Hundreds of miles may be traversed and thousands of dollars spent in traveling to and sojourning, at fashionable waterin? places, with less enjoyment or real benefit than that derived from a few months' stay at Idlewood. The hotel and cottages are supplied with the purest mountain spring water, whose health-giving and curative properties are widely known. Bates range from IS to $25 per week, ac cording to location of room or qottage. Take a train at Union station, Pittsburg, and go ont to see Idlewood; it is only 20 minutes' ride, and you will not regret the trip.
