White is seen in all kinds of eos- ! 1 tuwes and is by far more stylish than j 1 any color. | ' Irish lace boleros lend a touch of | elegance to simply made blouses of i 1 louisine or peau de cygne. Heavy white madras with a narrow j Persian stripe ia smart among the sea- | son's shirt waist materials. Little shallow scallops or tiny j j bounces out in the form of miniature ■ ( Vandykes decorate some of the newest j skirts. The newest lace mittens have their < owner's initials executed in a highly i ; decorative woven design upon the back i of the hand. With the white blouse the modish | accompaniment is the white kid belt ! heavily stitched and fastened with a ! < brass, kid or pearl buckle. j i It is a fad of the moment to put u ! i touch of lace trimming on every artl- < cle of clothing, and up to date stock- | ings have a lace insertion finish woven • 1 in the design. 1 Cornflowers are being revived and ' 1 will be conspicuous on summer hats, j 1 Iloses are found in every shade. Pan- I sy blossoms are made into flower toques, trimmed with deep violet rib- ! ' bou, and look very handsome.

Every day on the streets you will sec j two men talking. One is bored and try- j ing to get away. Call him. If a woman has more than two chlb j dron. she should also have naturally j curly hair, for she will never get time to curl it. When it is finally admitted that a girl is pretty, the people say, "Well, I don't know where she gets it," a slap at her parents. When a man falls in love with a wo man, ail her women friends decide that ! he would fall out again if he knew her j as well as they do. If a guest reiigiins longer than three clays in a house, she notices, if she is 1 t all observing, that the family do not change napkins as often. Atchison Globe. Head - the - Tribune. LESSON IN A DREAM AN ADVOCATE OF CAUTION AT THE DEVOURING CONFLAGRATION. The Man In Authority Who Guard* the Door of Opportunity AKUIIINI the UeiriagoKlc Fireman—Will We Put Out the Flref [Special Correspondence.] I dreamed I saw a great fire. Black clouds of smoke shut out the sky. Flames dazzled the eye. They leaped aud roared aud crackled, hut some times ahove the roar aud diu could he heard the shrieks of human beings, those who were shut up in the burning buildings. Such as could escaped, aud lu the streets were men, women and children, homeless aud shivering. We hear the welcome sound of fire engines as they come clanging from the west, from the cii'th, from the south. They make ready to pour streams of water upon the blaze aud stop the rushing fury from mnkiug further ruiu. But there steps forward oue having au thority and says: "Pause! Wait! It is true that the sweep and rush of this fire have brought grave troubles iu their train, hut we must not forget what a good thing fire is. Fire is a need of the human race. Think what would he our fate if fire were entirely put out. You have only to let your thoughts dwell ou the cold hearthstone, the raw food, the fires dead iu a thou sand furnaces where metals are work ed up for your use, to see that we must take great care in dealing with fire not to destroy It. Do not adopt the policy of the demagogue who raves against fire. Use your common sense aud remember that fire is one of the things we should specially foster. Aft er fire has reached a certain stage it Is Indispensable that we exercise over it, cautiously aud with self restraint, the power of supervision and regulation." The firemen listened thus far. Then one of them pushed aside the man in authority as if he had been a feather, and the engines did their work. The fire was put out. I awoke to find in my hand President Boosevelt's speech delivered at the Charleston exposition. I read again these words, which I had read before I slept, and I did not wonder at my dream: "Our astounding material prosperity, the sweep nnd rush rather than the mere march of our progressive mate rial development, have brought grave troubles iu their train. We cannot af ford to blink at these troubles any more than because of them we can af ford to accept as sure the gloomy fore bodings of the prophets of evil. There are great problems before us. They are not insoluble, but they can he solved only if we approach them in a spirit of resolute fearlessness, of com mon sense and of honest intention to do fair and equal justice to all men alike. We are certain to fail if we adopt the policy of the demagogue, who raves against the wealth which is simply the form of embodied thrift, foresight aud intelligence, who would shut the door of opportunity against those whose energy we should espe cially foster by penalizing the qualities which tell for success. * * * After com binations have reached a certain stage it is indispensable to the general wel fare that the nation should exercise over them, cautiously and with self re straint, but firmly, the power of super vision aud regulation." Do you see the parallel? If not, I fear you have failed to read the signs of our times. What could you think of a man who in the presence of a fire which was burning up people and their homes should stop the firemen aud lec ture them ou the value of tire? Fire is a good thing, but if tonight every visible spark of lire on the planet should he extinguished tomorrow morn ing millions of cook stoves would be at work, thousands of furnaces and steam engines would send forth their smoke. The inconvenience from the stoppage would he only slight and short. But suppose the firemen in my dream had acted ou the advice of the man in au thority. There is no computing the aw ful suffering and destruction that would have followed. Far more dis astrous will he the result if the country heeds the cautious words of President Itoosevelt regarding the present indus trial situation. I care not how good and just and wise a man may he in a normal situation, when he has been crowned with authority and given a salary of $50,000 a year he has been taken far away from the many people, and let him try ever so hard he cannot see with tlio eyes or feel with the nerves of the workers in field, forest and factory. Let us carry further our comparison, substituting for fire the things Presi dent Itoosevelt would have us careful to save. He sees that "the sweep and rush of our material development have brought grave evils in their train," hut he warns us to proceed cautiously. While caution is a good thing in its place, "grave perils" require other and more active virtues. Itcnd again this sentence: "We are sure to fail if we adopt the policy of the demagogue who raves against the wealth which is sim ply the form of embodied thrift, fore sight nnd intelligence, who would shut the door of opportunity against liaise whose energy we should especially fos ier by penalizing the qualities which tell for success." The words I would have noticed arc thrift, foresight, intelligence and en ergy. These, like fire, are good things in their place and feeding on proper materials, but let loose to ravage at will, as they have been, they are more destructive of human life and happi ness than any unchecked material con flugrntion. Another likeness is that these quail tics are plentiful as fire. Just as there is latent fire in wood, in coal, iu oil, In ilrnost everything we can name, so Is there an unlimited supply of thrift, foresight, Intelligence and energy. We need take no cure to "foster" them; Just foster human beings, and these things will develop to our utmost need. Especially is this true of energy. Our prisons and insane asylums are filled with those whose energies have been misdirected, and some are still outside. Save human beings, and you have an abundance of these qualities. Foster those qualities regardless of human beings, and you are doing a more de structive work than if you let loose a conflagration in a thickly populated city. To talk about "those whose en ergy we should especially foster"— meaning, presumably, those who have made the "great combinations"—seems to me as dangerous us the work of one who aids or counsels an incendiary, and as I live in Colorado my political opinion is counted, even though I am a woman, for I am an American voter I'lcase pardon this digression. I call upon the people, the great peo ple, to remember their greatness. Stand up in the consciousness that thrift, foresight, intelligence and energy are nil in you and that you are responsible for their use. Say to those who would have you believe Hint there is only now ntul then a man and the rest of you are only tools to be used by "those whose energies we should especially foster;" "We, too, are men. We have thrift, foresight, intelligence, energy. We will use our own and no longer let cunning and greed direct them." CELIA li. WHITEHEAD. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR. Farrcucliliijuc Fnnotions of Proponed New Cabinet Office. Congressman Sulzer of New York has Introduced a bill which proposes to es tablish a federal department of labor, with fnrrcaching executive powers. It provides for the appointment by the president of a secretary of labor and six assistants, who shall severally look after the manufacturing, agricultural, transportation, mining, building and mercantile industries, and a branch of the department to be known as the bu reau of fisheries. The new department would absorb the bureaus of labor and immigration, the office of commissioner of labor would be abolished and all matters re lating to Chinese immigration referred to the proposed department. The functions of the department of labor are set forth in these live para graphs of Congressman Sulzer's bill, which he says lie will perseveringly push with the assistance of the work ingincn throughout the country: It shall bo the duty of the department of lnbor to promote such Improvements in the social, political and economic condl- j tions of the wealth producing laborers of the United States as shall tend to secure to them their natural rights to the oppor tunity to labor and to security In the pos session and enjoyment of the full fruits of their labor. There shall be established in each of the principal divisions of the department of labor a bureau of statistics, which shall collect and report at least once each year, and of tenor If necessary, the fullest pos sible statistics of the condition of labor In each of the different Industries. Special attention shall be given by this department to the collection and publica tion. at least monthly, of the fullest pos sible statistics of the unemployed. Statistics of the total production of wealth and the proportion received by la bor and of the distribution and ownership of wealth and land shall be carefully col lected and published at frequent Intervals. The secretary of the department of labor shall have power to appoint boards of ar bitration and conciliation wherever the in terests of industrial peace may require it to be done. The bill provides for an interchange of information between United States consuls abroad and the department, which would tend to simplify the alien labor problem by indicating more def initely the supply of and demand for workers from foreign lands. This sec tion of the measure reads as follows: Persons to be designated by the secre tary of state shall be appointed to formu late. under his direction, for the Instruc tion of consular officers the requests of the secretary of labor and to prepare from the dispatches of consular olllcers, for transmission to the secretary of labor, such Information as pertains to the work of the department of labor. MnNt by A>rrecsiientn. An illustration of the desire of labor officials to have the unions stand by agreements with employers was evi denced in Kensington the other day, when officers of the Building Material Trades council compelled the terra cotta workers of the Illinois Terra Cot ta Lumber company to return to work under the old agreement The men went out on a strike in di rect violation of an agreement made 011 their behalf by officials of the coun cil. Since that time the union has affil iated with the Brick, Tile and Terra Cotta Workers' alliance, but the offi cials of that body refused to recognize the strike and held the agreement to be binding. After the men returned to work the company voluntarily in creased the wages from April 15.—Chi cago Inter Ocean. ShortMlKlitcd Unionists. The different local unions of the Unit ed Brotherhood of Carpenters and Join ers in Chicago are taking a referendum vote on the question of raising the dues from 05 cents a month to 75 cents. The large locals are voting almost unani mously for the higher dues, but the smaller ones are against them. Although wages have Increased 10 cents an hour within five years and the expenses of the organization doubled, all tlie men, says the Inter Ocean, are not ready to contribute to the union which secured the advance for them. Advance For Trackmen. The Brotherhood of Railroad Track men have secured an arbitration clause In their agreement with the Canadian Pacific railroad. One of the results ob tained by this organization is a raise in wages that averages 15 per cent. Track men will now receive $1.50 a day ir wages. Would Not Insure Him. Insurance Companies Refused to Insure the Rev. J. VV. Yeisley Because lie Had Kidney Trouble. This case is but ono of thousands where tho head ofjthe house was refused insurance, because he had kidney trouble. Mr. Yeisley had given up in despair when some friend recommended Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy and it cured him. Mr. Yeisley writes: "My kidneys and liver were In bad condition and 1 was anxious for relief. I had tried many remedies without success and when I bought a bottle of 'Favorite Remedy,' it was with but little faith in its ever helping me, but in a short time it effectively proved Its merit. Per haps the best proof I can give that it has completely cured me is to state that I have since been accept ed by four different life insurance companies." The Rev. Mr. Yeisley Is the pastor of the First Reformed church, of St. Paris, Ohio, and is as well the editor of tho St. Paris Dispatch. There is no question that Dr. David Kennedy's Favorite Remedy Is the best and surest medicine in the world for dis eases of the kidneys, liver, bladder and blood, rheumatism, dyspepsia and chronic constipation, as well as the weaknesses peculiar to women. It quickly relieves and cures inability to bold urine and tho necessity of getting up a number of times during the night. It puts an end to that scalding pain when passing urine and corrects the bad effects of whiskey and beer. It is sold by all reliable druggists for $1 a bottle, 0 bottles for $5.00 —less than one cent a dose. Sample bottle—enough for trial, free by mail. I)r.D.Kennedy Corporation,Konlout,N Y.
