A Noisy Ball of Fire Comes Aboard.
Captain Dickson of the British bark
Eudora reports an unusual electrical
display during a storm in the Sonth
Pacific. The Eudora left Jnnin, Chile,
on February,29,and while^beating down
the coast toward Cape Horn the 6torm
was seen approaching tho vessel's
stern, snapping and sizzling like a
wall of fire, but traveling only at a
moderate speed, tho wind being light
at that time.
When the 6torm struck the vessel
it blew with the force of a hurricane,
and for a time it looked as if the masts
would be blown out. There was a great
electrical display all over the rigging,
and a great ball of fire floated near
the mizzenmast and exploded with a
report like that of a Krupp gun. The
tr?rfl rifted and n^orlv blinded.
but fortunately no ono was seriously

PRESIDENT KRUGER'S WIFE.
I have seen "Tanta Sanna," the
sobriquet of President Kruger's -wife,
on several occasion??, and have noticed
her one style. She always dresses in
black, and the cut of her gown would
certainly not be an advertisement to
a West End dretsmaker; comfort, not
elegance, is her maxim. Plain though
Mrs. Kruger is in the matter of dress,
she has her little vanity. She positively
refuses to see a visitor who may
happen to call before she has "tidied
up." The tiding up takes place in
the afternoon, and consists of putting
on her best black gown, -with trimmings.
Mra. Kruger is famous fcr her coffee,
with which visitors are always
regaled when they go to the Presiden-1
tial residence in Pretoria. Mrs. Kruger
thinks she make3 tiie Dest couee 01 any
good "huisvrouw" in Pretoria, and
she boasts that she can make a tin of
condensed milk go further than any
one else. Mr. Kruger, while thinking
her "Mann" the greatest statesman
the world has ever seen, takes no sort
of interest in politics. She, I believe,
does not know what the franchise
means, but anything her husband tells
her in connection with political
matters she unhesitatingly accepts.
In conversation she always addresses
her "Mann" as "Oom," and he in turn
call6 her "Tanta." They are a happy
couple, although her husband's sleep^

LITTLE HISS ASTOB.
That the Duchess of Baccleuch
should have consented to become the
guest of Jtlr. W. W. Astor, at Cliveden,
and also at his town house in
Carlton House Terrace, may be regarded
as the greatest social victory
that he has ever achieved. For Her
Grace of Buccleuch has hitherto been
the leader and the moving spirit of
what was known as the anti-American
league. The latter consisted of a number
of the grandest ladies of English
society, who, with the object of resisting
what they were pleased to describe
as the American invasion, bound
themselves never to permit an Ameri"

can or a neorew 10 cross men inresnolds,
or to attend any entertainmenet
either given bj Americans or where
Americans were known to be among
the invited guests.
No one, save Mr. Astor himself, can
tell exactly how he managed jto effect
toe conversion of the Duchess. Inasmuch
as the rent roll of her husband
exceeds $4,000,000 per annum^ the
consideration can scarcely have been
of a pecuniary character', such aB has
Jjeen rumored in the case of the Countesses
of Cork and of Warwick, who
are reported to have received phenomenally
large checks lor their vaporings
in Mr. Astor's Pall Mall Magazine.
The honors at all these entertainments
given by Mr. Aetor are done by
his fourteen-year-old daughter, who
gives every promise of surpassing the
rare beauty and charm of her lovely
mother. Little Miss Astor takes the
place of her dead mother at table
with the utmost self-possession and
dignity, aid retires immediately after
ward to ner apartments, ana presumably
to bed. She was in New York
the other day for the purpose of being
confirmed at Trinity Church, but
few persons knew of her presence
here until the day of her departure.?

B002I IX SHXHT WAISTS.
"The moet prosperous trads of the
moment after bicycles," say3 a manufacturer,
"is that in ladies' shirt
waists. The bicycle is the author of
this prosperity, too, just as it is the
deathblow to many industries,"
which perhaps accounts for the continued
popularity of these waists,
tnougn tney nive oeen aaoptea Dy
everybody, and in consequence should,
by laws of fashion, be frowned upon
by the exclusive. The story is told
of how the Viennese milliners a few
years ago saw their profits decrease
through the popularity of a cheap
straw hat, "which, worn by a leader of
fashion, was adopted by all of their
customers. The situation was serious,
for the hat required bui little trimming,
and its coat was trifling, and a
secret session of the milliners was
called to take measures to relieve it.
A few clays afterward all the workwomen
in Vienna appeared in the cheap
hats. The 6hrewd milliners had
bought them up and distributed them
gratuitously. The effect was speedy;
the aristocrats doffed them at once,
and the milliners were soon reaping
their usual harvest.
The reign of the shirt waist is
proof against any such intrigue as
this. They are on sale from twentyfive
cents upward, and in consequence
are, in some style, within the reach of
every woman. Yet their vogue is so
pronounced in circles where vogue is
made that a shirt-waist toilet is not
deemed inappropriate for even more
than semi-formal occasions. There
are shirt waists and shirt waists, to be
sure, and the one worn by the woman
of fashion is a gem in its way. It is
made by a tailor; its fit and finish are
admirable ; its cost may be from SI to
$10; it is fastened with gold or jeweled
studs; it is held abont the waist with
a belt whose buckle is a triumph of the
i silversmith or goldsmith, and, though
I it is still only a shirt waist, its peri
fection and elegance are evident and
| high priced.?New York Times.
THE WEDDING TROUSSEAU.
A beautiful wedding gown, quite
j elaborate in effect, is of cream paau
! de soie, cream satin and lace. The
skirt is made with three wide gores,
and is gathered at the top all around,
i It has a graceful train, moderately
| long. The basque wuist is made with
a smooth fitting lining. The back has
! fullness only in the lower uart. drawn
/
well to the center by two rows of shir

j fashion at the bottom. The puffed
sleeves are made up in full length. A
novel completion for the puffs is given
by roses, made of the white lace and
satin, sewed to narrow bands joined
to the lower edges of the puffs. The
neck is finished with a lace ruff.
A fashionable traveling gown is made
of etamine. The skirt has a front
gore, a gore at each side and a gathered
back breadth. The basque waist has
a seamless back. A ripple peplnm of
fancy crepe lengthens the waist stylishly,
its ends being wide apart, but
concealed by a fancy belt. The sleeves
only have one seam, and are finished

FASHION NOTES.
The hat that is tilted right over the
nose is the fashionable hat pro tem.
The shirt waist with the detachable
collar is a very useful garment for
warm days.
Costumes of white mohair will be
much worn during the summer, especially
at sea-side resorts.
Qrass linen takes the lead among
thin materials this season, and at least
one gown of thi^s a necessity for a
laamonaoie ouiai. -*.
Batistes aje not all ecrQ in color,
ana dark bine, or gray striped.with
white, or white striped with 1)Tack,
make very useful summer gowns.
The English coats of brilliant red
broadcloth are extremely showy, also
black cloth coats with vivid red
sleeves, revers and turndown collar.
JtJlues are enjoying a renewed popularity
as a garniture for hats, and in
combination with green they make a
distinctly French color combination,
A thin outside skirt of organdie,
with an insignificant ruffle or two, is
nothing when compared with the much
betrimmed silk affair over which it is
to be worn.
Some of the batiste skirts are plain,
others have a ruche or narrow ruffles
of the same around the bottom, and
these are often edged with narrow
quillings of satin ribbons or laoe.
Rawo nf now ATo rl Knr^n orV>
jackets, of dark blue or Rreen cloth,
are finished with very large gilt ancj
rhinestone buttons, or those of jeweled
rolled gold or cut steel with colored
enamel centers.
The favorite sleeve of the season
combines a 6hort puff with mousquetaire
fullness of the wrist. Although
the severe coat sleeve is predicted for
early fall, it has so far been seen only
in conjunction with a few plain tailor
gowns.
Crepe de China 1b also much in demand
and is 6een more often than any
other one fabric. Its comparative
cheapness brings it within reach of
a greater number of admirers than are
able to iudnlge in the more costly
painted material.
Black monsseline de soie, with a design
in flowers painted at intervals
over the surface, is a Parisian extravagance
of the hour. Either black
or colored glace silk makes the lining,
but the former is preferred, as form

White tulle tied in a large bow in
front is one of tbe popular decorations
for the neck, and among the new collar
bands arranged to wear with different
dresses is one of white satin ribbon
with a scalloped frill of ecru embroidery
ruched on the edge with very
narrow colored satin ribbon.
A novelty for bonnets which is
seasonable consists of building them
entirely of dahlias?the double, oldfashioned
variety. A number of different
colored blossoms are chosen,
but snch as blend harmoniouslv to
gether, and the bads on their long
stems are used as aigrettes on one or
both sides, to relieve the flatness,
jf ^Evening bodices are no longer
round. Imported models have points
front and back and are trimmed with
a profusion of tulle around the lowcut
neck, with sleeve composed entirely
of the same diaphanous favorite.
The prevailing style is not unlike
a ballet dancer's skirt, being composed
of frill on frill, falling over tho
shoulder point.
Belts of satin finished elastic in
varying widths, sometimes quite an

There are also fancy metal

built on elastic and may be worn with
comfort, besides being of a highly
ornamental character.

shaped with two seams, and are of i
fashionable size., the wrists being finished
with stitching to simulate cuffs, \
that are decorated near tho back seam I
with three buttons. A narrow leather belt
encircles the waist. The graceful
skirt is specially designed for wheelwomen,
its distinguishing features being
an underlying box plait laid in the
centre of front gore, the edges of which
meet and are flatly pressed, so as to be
hardly noticeable when standing and
ft hen m onnted give ample room for
the free aciioni ot tine limbs, and prevent
the ugly girded appearance ao
often seen. Two backward turning
plaits at the back conceal the saddle
gore in the centre that keeps the skirt
in proper position. Placket openings
on each side of front gore are finished
by pointed overlaps and decorated with
buttons. Suits in this style can be
made from all kinds of cloth, tweed,
cheviot, eerge, or cycle cloth, and
worn with knickers and legging to
