Soft Fabrics Popnlar— Slight ( hanarei , Ixi tut —BuNinpNN Suits. The materials for suitings will be more attractive than those of last sea son, and soft fabrics will lie popular, says the New York Tribune, authority for the following items In regard to men's clothes for the season of 10»X>-1. It will be largely a stripe season, and the stripes will range from the narrow herringbone to the clear cut lines which were worn in flannels during the Bummer months. But there will be many handsome checks and overplaids also, mid those will be worn by men who are too tall for the striped goods. Fancy waistcoats, which were worn so much last fall and winter that it was feared they would become "common," will be worn again, and many hand some patterns have been added to the lurge collections. There will be 110 radical changes. "The days for great jumps in men's styles," said a Fifth avenue tailor, "are over. We go slowly, and changes are brought about before the wearer knows It. The trousers grew narrower by de grees, and now by degrees they are growing wider, and next season's crop will be Just a bit broader than last year's, and the frock coat will be just a bit longer. The left over frock last year could be cut off and made fashion able, but the leftv over garment this year must be cast aside, because you can't add a piece to its length." The shoulders in overcoats will be made broad and square, and padding will be used liberally. The Chester field, the popular overcoat, with a seam down the back, will be made to come just below tin; knee. The collar will be of the same material as the coat or of velvet, and tin- garment will be cut full, making it about one-lialf box. Evening dress will be the same as last season, but the peaked lapel with FOUR BUTTON BUSINESS SUITS, eilk finish will be more generally worn, because * lie" shawl roll, even for young men, will IK- less popular. The waistcoats will be cither single or doi/ble breasted if of the same mate rial as the coat, but only double breast ed If made of fancy material. Trou sers will have the side seams covered with either plain or fancy braid. The men who insisted on wearing high hats with dinner, sack or Tuxedo coats will probably continue the light, but makers of fashions still insist that a Tuxedo Is a sack and that a white tie, white waistcoat and high hat should not be worn with it. These coats will be made with the peaked lapel roll or with the silk shawl finish. The latter will lie the favorite style. For day dress the double breasted frock and the single breasted cutaway will again be one correct garment, but stout men will probably be glad to adopt the recently introduced single breasted frock coat, which was exten sively worn many years ago and gave way before the double breasted gar ment. "All men look alike in a ballroom or at the opera," said a fashionable tailor, "and no one could see there that the American man is well dressed. To get the right Idea on that score you must see the men in their business dress." Among the business suits for the com ing season the three button cutaway will rank first, and close behind this in point of popularity will tie the straight front four button sack. Then as third In line will come the four button cuta way sack. The double breasted straight sack will be worn tnuch by the men who are indifferent to moderate cold and who dispense with overcoats for ordinary street wear, but the single breasted coat of the same pattern will continue to be worn, as it was in the spring and summer.

The United States has rescued from vandalism the ancient cliff dwellings of New Mexico by including them in a new government reservation to be known as Pajarito park. A tract of land comprising some 150,000 acres has been set aside, embracing the famous Santa Clara canyon, throughout the length of which now curls, now dashes over great bowlders, a crystal brook abounding in trout, its banks fringed with every variety of forest growth known to New Mexico. The beautiful wooded mesas that wall this and other canyons which deeply scar the region of wilderness comprising I'ajarito park are nature's masterpieces in them selves, but they afford views of the surrounding country that are indeed sights to behold. One of the "towns" in the park, and the most interesting from many points of view, is known as l'uye. It con sists of two distinct groups of dwell ings, or, rather, two towns in one. The first of these, as one approaches from the north or by way of Santa Clara canyon, is situated on the summit of the mesa. It is a gigantic structure, 300 feet square, with walls still standing at some points eight feet high. This build ing alone was sufficiently capacious to house 500 people, while two adjacent ruins of the same general character, although circular in shape and about 100 and 150 feet in diameter respective ly, doubtless accommodated as many more in the ancient days when they were inhabited. In and about the ruins thousands of potsherds and frag ments of stone implements may be seen, a suggestive indication of the treasures still hidden beneath th« fallen masonry. But massive as are its walls and ex tensive its ground plan this ruin is ■HK ** ENTKANCE TO A CLIFF DWELLING, commonplace in comparison with that part of old l'uye which lies south and east of it. Nothing so extensive as this group of cavatc lodges, as they are called, exists anywhere. For fully a mile the escarped, shimmering white face of the mesa is literally honey combed with dwellings pecked out of the solid tufa by means of stone im plements, for nowhere does any evi dence exist that the original occupants of these strange homes knew anything of the white man or of his arts. PERSISTENT SUCCESS. Viola Allen and Hep Exceptional Ca reer on the Stage. Viola Allen is appearing in a new play, Marion Crawford's "In the Pal ace of the King." Success has persist ently attended her since she left Charles Frohman's stock company to star in"The Christian."

From Paris comes word that the all white dining room Is the latest vogue. Perhaps it is to be counted the logical next step after the long reign of the idue and white dining room. The ceil ing and walls of such rooms are paint ed or papered In white. Sometimes they are tapestried with white brocade. They are hung with white serge, satin, silk or brocade curtains, the electric side lights or gas brackets being of crystal or silver or the two combined. Croquet is becoming fashionable again, especially with men and women who have not gone in for golf.

QUEEN WILHELMINA. these qualities by insisting upon choos ing her own husband. Time and time again it lias been announced that Queen Willielmina was betrothed to tiiis or that royal highness, only to have the report given immediate de nial by her actions. Many have been the respectful and perhaps pointed hints she has received 011 the high rank and good qualities of the different scions of royal houses, but she has al ways met the remarks of such officious persons with chilling contempt. It is said that one of the ladies of the court who suggested that a certain prince would make an eligible husband re ceived the curt reply: "If you think him so tine, why don't you marry him yourself'! The man I marry I must re spect enough to call him my lord and master except during the times when I am consulting with my ministers. Then I shall i>e the queen, and he will be my subject." Indeed it lias been evident from the first that Queen Willielmina had no In tention of being a mere figurehead, and as she has really a line character and has endeared herself to her subjects by countless little acts of kindness this decision of hers is much applauded by the common people. Now comes the announcement that her majesty's choice has fallen on Duke Adolph Frederick of Mecklen burg-Sehwerin. The duke is some years the senior of his intended bride, having been born in 1873. He is cap tain and chief escort in the regiment of cuirassiers of the Prussian guards and is looked upon as one of the clever est members of the noted house to which he belongs. Tall and handsome, with the fine straight figure due to German training, he is very popular in his regiment. Queen Willielmina is the tallest queen in Europe, and although so young she carries herself with truly royal dignity. The illustration repre sents her in Dutch attire, a costume of which she is very fond. "JANICE MEREDITH." Minn Mannering'* I'ortrnjnl of thm (hameter on the Stage.

Mr. Mitchell has won I the confidence of the coal miners not I only by his labors in their behalf, but also by his many sterling qualities of character, although by the operators he is bitterly denounced and detested < as an "agitator." Mr. Mitchell's career in his particu i lar branch of unionism has been nota ble. His father, a coal miner, lost his life in the mines and left him at the age of 4to the care of friends. At 13 he began work in the mines and at 10 became a Knight of Labor in his na tive state.

FREDERICK DILCnER. for so young a man a career that must have been filled with earnest, constant endeavor, liis leading mental charac teristic is perseverance. In the organi zation bis name stands as a synonym of hard fighting and a symbol of a never say die policy. His mind works slowly when an important matter ia under discussion, but once resolved nothing can turn him from his purpose. He is a ready debater and fluent speak er and is a member or officer of a num ber of social and educational societies and clubs. Before be reached his ma jority his fellow townsmen at Spring Valley, Ills., thought well enough of him to elect him a member of the local board of education. In Frederick, or "Dig Fred," Dilelier the miners have for a leader a man who is thoroughly one of themselves. In dress, appearance and manner tie is a typical miner save that his height, more than six feet, and bis girth ren der him conspicuous. Mr. Dilelier is an older man than his chief and has been an active organizer among his co laborers for many years. He has been a coal miner for 17 years. Ilis is an ideal personality to deal with so heterogeneous a mass of men as the strikers, for be possesses a grand fund of good nature and patience in dealing with difficult situations. He is the chief of the executive board and the leader in most direct contact with the men. To his friends he is known as "Baby," an ironical reference to his height and bulk. Mr. Dilelier is a native of Ohio and the head of the coal miners in the dis trict that includes the eastern part of that state and part of Pennsylvania. To him is due much of the credit for the organization of the miners of the anthracite region into the union. A famous I'earl.

Thfro Will Be \» Curtailment In the Allwtvn nee« Heretofore Made, Which Are Greater Than Are Made by Any Other State in the Union. In referring to the issue of the pub lic school appropriation Attorney Gen eral John P. Elkin has given a very clear and comprehensive statement of the attitude of the Stone administra tion. Attorney General Elkin said: "I have been requested to explain the attitude of the Republican party and the present administration on the question of the support of the common : schools. Upon that question Pennsyl vania has a proud record. Our first 1 appropriation to the common schools ! was made in 1835. It amounted to $75,000; every year an annual appro- ] priation has been made for the schools. | In 1872, prior to the adoption of the new constitution, the appropriation was $700,000. The framers of our funda- I mental law inserted a provision that I the minimum amount thereafter appro- I priated in any one year should be one million dollars. From 1874 to 1887 in clusive the amount appropriated was I the minimum fixed by the constitution. At that session of the legislature a 1 movement was set on foot by the Re publican members to increase this ap propriation. The effort resulted In a compromise which gave $1,500,000 for this purpose. For 1889 the amount was increased to two millions of dollars, and in 1891, when the Republican party controlled both branches of the legis lature, the annual appropriation was increased to the princely sum of three millions of dollars for 1893. ! STONE S WARNING IGNORED. When Governor Stone was inaugu rated he sent a message to the legis lature explaining the financial condi tion of our state treasury. The records i then showed that there was a practical r deficit of more than three million dol lars. The governor suggested that one of these things should be done, either that the legislature should provide more revenue or reduce the appropria tion, in order that the credit of the commonwealth might be sustained. | "The legislature did not provide ad ditional revenue andd d 11 ' 1 not decrease the appropriation. The governor was then confronted with the condition of an already existing deficiency in the treasury and more appropriations made j than the estimated revenue of the state | would pay. He viewed the situation as a practical business man would. Ho said: " 'The state cannot approve the pay ment of more than it receives, no mat ter how worthy the purpose.' "He acted on the principle that we must be Just before we are generous. "He scaled down the appropriation bills in every possible direction to the amount of $500,000. But even this did not bring the appropriations within the estimated revenues and provide for the payment of the deficit. He was then up to the question of the school appro priation. He reduced this $500,000 a year. He gave as his reason that there was not sufficient money to make this large appropriation and pay the debits. He also stated in his veto message that he would cheerfully approve the whole appropriation of $5,500,000 if the conditions of the state treasury war ranted it. A DEFICIT IS WIPED OUT. "Less than two years have elapsed since this action was taken by the gov ernor. In the meantime the financial condition of the state has phenomenal ly improved; up to the present moment we have paid the entire deficiency of more than three million dollars, and have sufficient money to pay the entire school appropriation and still have a surplus of more than one million dol lars. This condition of affairs was brought to the attention of the gover nor several weeks ago, and he imme diately instituted an investigation to see whether or not the half million might not be returned to the common school appropriation. He has stated publicly that it was his intention to recommend in his message to the leg islature that a deficiency bill should be passed to give the schools the $500,- 000 a year, the amount which he de ducted from the appropriations made by the last legislature. "The governor has done this In a spirit of equity and broad mined states manship. His action should and will meet with the approval of every friend of the common school system in the state. Some of the newspapers that denounced the governor when he re duced the appropriation are now most angry at him because he Is taking measures to restore it. But their de nunciations in the one instance and their angry insinuations in the other will not deter him from doing his duty. A SPLENDID RECORD. "The Republican party on the school question has made a splendid record in our state. The highest appropriation made while the Democrats had control of the legislature was $280,000 a year.
