The new Dresden stripe silk makes up into fetching evening waists. A big black velvet and satin muff has masses of ostrich plumes, black tipped, with white upon the front. Soft twills in place of taffeta, which has held long and undisputed sway, are coming to the front, urged there by the reign of velvets. One of the pretty silks for dress trim ming or separate waists is the lace Ro man stripe In delicate colors, with a lace effect showing between the stripes. Shirring is seen again on waists and costumes made of satin, velvet and chiffon. The shirrs are drawn up to form yokes or the material is gathered lengthwise in series of loose puffs. Long napped beaver ribbon makes a stylish touch on some smart frocks. One cloth gown has n crush licit of this ribbon and a touch of it at the front of the stock and a bit on the sleeves. A handsome silk for evening wear is called tinsel broehe. This conies in light or dark colors in artistic blend- Ings, and the high lights are brought out with fine tinsel threads worked through the silk. The tinsel Is used sparingly, and the effect is striking. Do Svmcthlnk. If tlie world seems cold to you, Kindle tires to warm it! Let their comfort hide from you Winters that deform it. Hearts as frozen an your own To that radiance gather; You will soon forget to moan, "Ah, the cheerless weather!" If the world's a "vale of tears," Smile till rainbows span 11! Rreathe the love that life endears; <.'l*r from clouds to fan it. Of j'xir gladness lend a gleam Unto souls that shiver; Show them how dark sorrow's stream Mends with hope's bright river 1 CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the /J? Signature of CfiafyA A HUGE LABOR JOKE! THE PEACE CONFERENCE AND ITS THREE DOZEN PACIFIERS. llannn. Srbwali nn.l Oilier Friend* of the WurklnKiurn Meet With ho lier I nion Lender* and llevlite the Indnntriol Millennium. [Special Correspondence.! Iu the saddest phases of human ex istence there are humorous incidents, j I.nughtor is wont to ripple across the salty sea of tears, and none of the seri ous business of life is immune from at- | taeUs by the fumnakers. Even the la bor problem, probably the most seri ous of all the questions that today con front civilization, closely related as it Is to the "dismal science" and fraught with life and death Issues to the mil- ! lions of the earth who toil, is not above a Joke. As a matter of fact, this tre- , mondously important problem has re cently been made the butt of the hu- ; gest joke of modern times. It was not an insidious joke either, the kind that slips stealtliiiy up behind you in bath slippers and tickles you in the ribs and j makes you burst into wild laughter be fore you can loosen your waistcoat to save your buttons. No, sir; this labor joke announced Itself, though we were not told how excruciatingly funny It was going to be, some months ahead. No diamond losing actress ever had a better press agent than this labor joke. Heralded by one of our great dailies, with bells on and supported by one of the country's most famous divines, it lias been doing a free tight rope turn outside of the big tent about three times a week for six months or more. There's nothing like thoroughly work ing up a Joke before it is sprung to fetch the merry laughter. The labor Jokemakers are on to their jobs. The international peace congress held In The Hague a few years ago was funny enough, though everybody didn't see the joke until the Christian broth erhood got three or four wars going, j but the labor peace conference recent- j ly held ill New York beat It out of its boots as a side splitter. No favoritism was shown in making I up the New York pence conference; , there was nothing piecemeal about It— | it was the whole tiling at once. Every body was represented, and most ev- j ery body was in it double. There were representatives of labor, repre- | sontatlves of the employing class and representatives of the public, so the . laborers and the employers, whom, it Is not unfair to say, are parts of the j public, got there twice In the great peace conference held In New York. Well, these three elements, or three parts of two elements, or two elements in three grand divisions, or—well, the conferees conferred for two days and a night, and then, as there was noth ing in their special line left undone, they adjourned and went about their respective businesses, and now "it is to laugh." Treating the affair seriously, there was a whole lot of speecbtnaklng by capitalists, labor leaders and preach ers, and if the newspaper reports here j in the city were fair accounts of the | proceedings not a single valuable thought was contributed to the discus- j sion of the labor question, and. with a . few exceptions, nothing that was new I was said. One of the labor men did j make a statement that was news to the | writer, likewise news to those lntl- j mately acquainted with labor affairs, i and it is probable the gentleman him- | self was surprised at the unsuspected j bit of information when he read it In i tiie newspapers next morning. His remark was to the effect that he had j "never seen a strike that could not ' have been averted had the laboring [ men and their employers sat down and talked it over before the strike was j started." John Mitchell is a bright and j brave man, a successful leader and is ■ near the top of the heap just now, but ! the coal miners, for whom he conduct ed one of the grandest tights they ever made, may think John got a little light beaded under the influence of the peace atmosphere at the New York confer ence. However, we can excuse Mitch ell when we note that solid old John Phillips of the Hatters' union was so far carried away by the eloquence of the employers and "the public" at the conference that he apologized to Mr. llanna for once thinking that he (Ilan na) was ever other than a devoted friend of organized labor, and Frank Sargent during his speech referred to "mv friend Mark over there." I read the name of the speaker over three or four times to make sure it wasn't P. M. Arthur of the Engineers instead of Frank Sargent of the Firemen, but it was Frank all right. It was too bad Chnunccy Depew was busy getting married and couldn't attend the peace conference. There would have been more fun if he could have entered against llanna for a two days' "jolly" match. Depew is a past master iu the art of "jollying" labor leaders and newspaper writers, but Hanna Isn't so worse himself. The "public" had a great deal to say in the conference and said it in away that left 110 doubt in the minds of the hearers that the public knew all about the labor question. Lincoln's famous utterance that "labor is prior to and above capital" and that capital would not have existed and could not endure without labor was discounted by the statement of Archbishop Ireland at the conference that "labor is helpless with out capital." It Is granted that under present meth ods of production labor would be at a great disadvantage without the co-op eration of the men who own the tools— and these and wealth used in produc tion are the only real capital—but la bor created those tools and that wealth, and it could do it again if all the capi talists were to emigrate to Mars, tak ing their tools and their bank rolls with them. Of course we would have to go a long way back and start over, but we could ilo it much easier than rapital eouhl get its snpper if labor re fused to help it. Another false sentiment that had currency In the pence conference was that capitalists invest their wealth to help labor. A man needn't be put down as the enemy of all rich men simply be cause he refuses to take any stock In that piece of arrant nonsense. Busi ness men, from the blacksmith with one helper to the employer of thou sands of worklngmen, know that It is nonsense. Men invest their capital for the purpose of adding to It. If they fall to make a fair profit, they get their money out as quickly as they can. If they can't get out, they shut up shop unless it costs them more to shut ap than to keep open. There are kind hearted employers—a few—who sym pathize with the workmen they are obliged to throw out of work, but char ity begins at home, and "business is business." That is the motto of the commercial age in which we live, and the intelligent workingman knows it and lives up to it, In his small way, just as the employer does. And what was the result of the labor peace conference? you ask. Well, sirs, after "the public" and the nonpublic hail dragged the old pool into which so many wise men have fallen head first they raised their tongs and cried out: "Here's your oyster! Come and open it!" And they proceeded to open it right there. In fact, they opened three dozen, but I can't say they served them 011 the half shell raw. Some of them have been on the iron and in these same stews before. A committee of tlilrty-six was ap pointed by the conference. Twelve were selected from the capitalists, twelve from the labor representatives anil twelve from the whole of creation, otherwise "the public." Following are the names of the thirty-six gentlemen who have undertaken the biggest con tract 011 record, the job of keeping la bor from striking and Inducing employ ers to trout their employees as broth ers: REPRESENTATIVE EMPLOYERS.

Straus, New York. It Is nut worth while to criticise the personnel of the committee. Probably the only fellow that Ims any kick com ing is "the public," ami he be What was It a Vamlerbllt once said? The employers and organized labor are well represented in the committeemen chosen, though It may occasion some question to note that the largest wing of the wngeworkiug army Is practical ly Ignored, the building trades. I 'an nul of the granite cutters doesn't 1111 the hill under that head, though he Is an able and representative labor man. However, Mr. Straus, who appointed the members of the committee, isn't supposed to know about the labor or ganizations. Peace, with u big P, is Ids long suit. The committee is to act as a board of conciliatit) 11 and arbitration. It is to bring the labor representatives and the employees together for the adjustment of difficulties that may arise as to wages and conditions of employment and to effect settlements without re course to strikes or lockouts. All friends of labor wish It might succeed. If 1 may be allowed to offer some thing for the good of the cause, I would like to suggest that, inasmuch as the arrangement is mude between employers and organized labor, Charles M. Schwab and other employers of scab labor who are members of the committee give the world evidence of their good faith by at once unionizing their establishments. "Out i* order," did you say. Mr. Chairman? All right. 1 sit down, but you can't keep me from thinking my little think. By the way. one would have thought that a man with the modesty which is so characteristic of Mr. Marcus A. Iluuna would have declined the presi dency of the committee in favor of one of "the public's" representatives, as they are the supposedly neutral mem bers. But you just wait until some time when Mr. Ilanna Is away doing a presidency turn of another kind and Vice President Sam Gompers gets hold of the gavel.

It's enough to make the old man turn over in his grave! And if Dockery of Mizzoura was here he'd shore fall lu a lit on the floor." lie stood in the hall of the house of representatives contemplating the rich mahogany desks, the handsome fur nishings, the gilt anil decorations, with a choleric and deprecatory eye. He was attired in black broadcloth, the vest low cut, showing a wide expanse of unstarched shirt front, crossed by a black string tie. Ilis thin soled boots of soft leather were carefully polished, and he held a black slouch hat in his hand. "I was in congress in the days of 're trenchment and reform/" he said, "and we had no such doings as these. Them chairs, with a little recalling, was good for ten years longer, anil there wasn't nary an initial carved in the desks. In my day the red and plush sofys In the lobby was a dream of oriental splendor, but I see they must have line leather sofys now. "And as for these new committee rooms, the appropriations in particu lar, they air a scene of imperialistic sumpshusness that the Caesars never Imagined. I walked through this morn ing. my feet sinking to the ankles in velvet carpets, and every move reflect ed in the polish of the mahogany ta bles, desks anil chairs. These here plain congressmen, corn fed products of the west, must feel mighty out of place amid such surroundings of luxu riousness and regal splendor. They tell me there is $3,000 worth of gold in the ceiling of the speaker's room by way of decoration and that a third of a million dollars has been put in tiling and mahogany, leather, gilt and paint ing. "Well, I reckon, after all, there ain't nothing too good for the great Ameri can people, and those air the repre sentatives of the people, and the peo ple they pays the freight," whereat he shook his head anil walked away. A Flood of Petition*!. According to the constitution, the right of petition shall not be abridged. It is quite evident from the numbers of petitions which are being sent to congress this year that the people are disposed to take every advantage of their privilege. The long recess of congress gave op portunity for petition makers to pre pare innumerable requests for all sorts of things, the result being seen in the mass of signed papers now flooding congress. The most widely circulated petition seems to have been in behalf of monogamous as against polygamous marriages. Thousands and thousands of these sheets, bearing the petition at the head and neatly ruled with blank lines, were apparently sent broadcast all over the country. They are coming in from every city and town and cross roads postotlice; but, like a good many other petitions, they will merely bur den the files of the senate for a little while and then be thrown away. There Is no indication at present of any ac tion along the lines of the proposed legislation. Tlo Minister From Slnm. Ph.va Akliara Oradhara is the high sounding name of the envoy extraordi nary and minister plenipotentiary of his majesty the king of Siam, who re cently arrived in tlds country. lie was accompanied by bis English secretary, Mr. Edward Loftus. Phya Akharn Oradhara is the first diplomatic repre sentative from the Land of the White Elephant to be stationed In Washing ton. The Siamese minister at London, Phya Prasiddlii, is also accredited to the United States in a diplomatic ca pacity, but he only visited Washington occasionally, transacting tlie little dip lomatic business between the two coun tries from the Siamese legation in Lon don. Mr. Loftus, who accompanies the new minister to the United States, has been an attache and interpreter of the Siamese legation at London. To Prohibit Docking. President Roosevelt's refusal to buy horses whose tails had been docked has led Senator tiallinger, who agrees with the president 011 tills subject, to Introduce a hill In the senate making it unlawful for any person to dock the tall of a horse within the District of Columbia. The title of the bill is "to prevent cruelty to certain animals In the Dis trict of Columbia" and goes into the subject thoroughly. Provision Is made for the registering of horses with docked tails and makes it unlawful for a person "to import or bring Into the District any docked horse or horses or to drive, work, use, race or deal in any unregistered docked horse or horses within the District of Columbia." For a llnll of Heooril. Representative Bromwell of Ohio has introduced a hill in the house making on appropriation of $243,000 for the purchase of property in this city for a hall of records. The property mention ed in the Ujll is that bounded on the north by G street, 011 the east by Sev enteenth street and on the west by the Winder building, it Is also provided that the building now on this site be put in condition for the storage of doc uments at an expense of SIO,OOO. The purchase is to be made by the secreta ries of state, war and navy, who shall acquire the property either by private negotiation or by condemnation pro ceedings. In Conjure** With Clay. Representative Cochran of Missouri presented to tlie president recently one of the oldest living ex-members of the lower house of congress. This is Judge Andrew J. Harlan of Missouri, who was a member fifty-two years ago. Judge Ilarlau is now ninety-two years old and is in splendid health. He was a friend of Henry Clay and all the great minds of the congressional days of many years ago. CARL SCIIOFIELD. Mid-Winter Bargains in Hats, Caps, Rubber Goods, Wiiiter F iirnishi 11 gs.
