THE NEWEST STYLES.
The central figure is a wooltex cos

and triple tunUns'klrt. The letticoat
for this costume Is 'a cwrosls deml-yoke,
mercerized, silk-appearing fabric.
I he bolero costume with the triple
yoke for the skirt Is made of Mohair
Sicilllenne of the richest and heaviest
character. This costume shows the
new low-necked effect, or rather the
col larless dress, and it will be noted
that the front is trimmed iu triplets of
pearl buttons. The swinging low front
Is the new French curve which is par
ticularly eiuphasi.ed by the assistance
ofaiiewnnd welcome article of wo
man's apparel known as the llosaliinl
waist adjuster. This excellent contri
vance is attached to the corset which
holds it comfortably and rigidly at the
desired point. The belts of the skirt,
underskirt and waist are most easily
and neatly arranged by the use of this
new article, and are kept (irmly yet
easily in place without a wrinkle, dis
pensing with much of the annoying
fullness usual to the superposing or
several different garments.
The third costume isofSpring weight
Worrall dyed Knglish velveteen. It
has also the French curve front, and
hi addition has the new extended skirt
back which is produced by a single
strip of featherbone descending from
the waist line in back to a point about !
12 inches above the bottom of the skirt
where a fork or triple line of feather.
bone holds the rear of the skirt gently
but gracefully In place. The girdle of
both costumes is made upon the new
featherbone girdle form, which Is elas

not alone iu the dresses, but In the ni

fure will be especially noted iu these
Ilgures. The low neck or collarless
bodice will make a great revolution iu
hair dressing, and with the descent of
the hair arrangement to a point below
the neck or collar will come the great
vogueof silk hair nets, always so use

The new French curve form of the

these costumes. It is produced by the
new model C. 15. A. la spirile corset,
over which these superb gowns are
made.
Many gowns for the summer girl
are being made up without linings
either in bodice or skirt, so she is siqi

slip linings, which she w ill wear with
one or many gowns.
Materials this spring are of exceeding
softness and lightness of weight, voiles,
grenadines, tiareges ami the like, con
tributing to the soft, drooping effect
now so desirable.

The XefT Tablet.
The many friends of Rev. Dr. 1. P.

himself and wife in the erection of the
Lutheran Church at this place. The
tablet was placed in thechurch and un
veiled Sunday morning with special

Rev. Dr. Weber of Sunbury preached
the sermon for the occasion. The pas
tor, Rey. Diehl, made some appropri
ate remarks while the actual unveiling
was performed by Mildred Smith a
grand daughter of Dr. Xeff.
It was a trying moment for Dr. Ncff,
but he rescinded in appropriate re
marks and gracefully accepted the ex
pression of kindly feeling with humil
ity aud gratitude.
The tablet is beautifully engraved
and consists of marble. The inscrip
tion reads :

This is the first step down-wnrd ; hir

Next, his mind is rushed to drink,

National Encampment . A. R.
The Thirty-seventh National En
campment (r..:el Aim,) of thcRcpub
liciwhic h is to b.- In ld iu fan Francisco
dining the week commencing August
I7t!l, l'.'O:!, is destined to hci Hue olic of
the most notabie gathering.- iu point
of numbers, magtiiih-cncc and splendor
iu the history nf California, as well
as iu the annals of the Iralci nily. Tho
people of San Francisco, and ol all
California, fully appreciating the fact
that these veterans may never again
gather iu an l-'.iicauipinciil ou the
shores of the Pacific, w ill exert every
etlort to make this Encampment the
most memorable one in the history of
the G. A. R. No other organization
holds the atl'eclioti of the people as
does the one composed of the veterans,
the defenders of the I'nion, of liberty
and light. The veterans residing iu
California and Nevada arranged the
preliminaries for the Encampment,
but all the people of California and of
the Pacitlc Coast are enthusiastic ou
that topic now, and working hand ill
baud with Hie committees to make this
Kiicampmeiit eclipse all former frater
nal gatherings. From the Governor
ol the State to the humblest citizen,
eveiy one is imbued with the Idea that
Suu Fruiicisco and California must give
the veterans the most rousing welcome
they have ever had. Merchants, manu
facturers, fanners and miners, all are
eager to make the visit of the veterans
a pleasant and a memorable one. They
are determined to show the visitors the
famed beauties of this Western Won
derland, w hich must be seeii to be ap
preciated. From eveiy county and
section of Ilie, State the choicest pro
ducts will be brought to San Francisco,
and be placed on exhibition, lhat the
visitors may feast their eyes upon them.
Carloads of fruit the most delicious in
the world fruit-beariug trees, the
uIuuim of to ClirriitH fore!. nnd
oilier wouders that have made the
Golden State famous, will be ou exhi
bition throughout the City for the
benefit of those who cannot visit every
section of the state. The famous gar
dens of Santa Clara, .Marin, Sonoma,
Alameda, Contra Costa and other ad
jacent Counties will furnish the ma
terial for the grandest tloral display
ever seen. Oiiurt ami hydraulic mili
um will be demonstrated on niinalure
mines, und oil wells are to be bored in
the city, iu sight of the visitors.
1 hcelccirical display and the illum
inations are to surpass even those
which have made .-;iti Francisco fam
ous during the Knights f Pythias en
campment in 1002, and were consider
ed the finest ever seen. It will be the
grandest sight to behold the vast hosts
of the veterans inarching through the
streets of San Francisco, beneath a
canopy of lloweis, and under garlands
and domes woven of myriads of incan
descent electric lights, turning nighl
into day and making tin- scene one of
fairyland. For the illumination ami
the decoration, though much of it is
owned by the city and is given free of
cost, and the Mow el s are donated, tho
Legislature has appropriated Jj-2o,(X;0
for that purpose, and the citizens ex
pect to raise three times as much by
voluntary contribution, to defray the
cost of dressing the city in holiday
garb.
The climate is the most agreeable that
can he imagined ; the temperature tho
year round is mild and pleasant. In
August, with no rain, the thermome
ter registers ii." to 7) degrees, rarely a
degree more or less, whether mid-day
or mid-night. Two hundred thousand
visitors can be easily accommodated ill
the city atone time, and have been
comfortably housed on two former oo
casions. Living iu San Francisco is
cheaper than in any large city iu the
I'liion, and it is good living at that.
Fruit unci vegetables grow in abun
dance the year round ; there is no cold
hot nor an oil-season in California, iu
August fruit can be bou ht from any
street vender, enough for 5 eeuis to
feed a family. Meat is plentiful aud
cheap, and of the very best quality.
Rooms, good, clean, comfortable room8
may be had in the resilience part of
I he town at 50 cents to a $1 per night,,
or $.1 to $7 per week. All the hotels,
lodging, boarding, apartment houses,
have agreed to charge the regular rates

rates are the lowest for that occasion
