New York City, ?Tho pretty,
dressy wn!st that can be opened fit
the front In one for which many women
are searching, and hero Is a model
that Includes that feature whllo It is
eseentiaiiy smart ana auiatuvc. m
this case It Is made of Nattier blue
cashmere with trimming of taffeta
and chemisette of cream colored lace,
but it will be found charming for
silk and wool materials and for almost
everything seasonable. It is
peculiarly well adapted to the entire
gown, for which voile, henrietta |
cloth, wool batiste and the like are
desirable, while it also suits the odd
blouse admirably well, and utilized
In this way is admirable, both for the
plain and plaid taffetas, and also for
the thinner and lighter embroidered
nets and chiffons that are so much
In vogue. The little vest portion is
a feature and an attractive one, and
aIaavpb can be made longer or shorter
as liked.
The waist is made with a fitted
lining, which is closed at the centre
front, and itself consists of fronts,
back, chemisette and vest portions.
The fronts and the backs are tucked
and the vest portions are attached to
the front edges. The collar finishes
the neck and the closing is made invisibly
at the left side. The prettily
full sleeves are finished with roll^
over cuffs, and are arranged over
fitted linings, which are faced to
form the deep cuffs when long sleeves
are desired.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three and
three-quarter yardstwenty-one, three
and one-eighth yards twenty-seven or
one and five-eighth yards forty-four
inches wide, with one-half yard of
all-over "ace and three-quarter yard
of silk t make as illustrated, one
yard of all-over lace if loug sleeves
are used.
Fashion Names.
It is not the jigh girt gown of the
eighteenth century that is figuring in
dressmaking triumphs, but a modification
as far from its prototype as
the aleged kimono sleeve of the fashionable
wrap is from the original Oriental
arm covering which gives it its
name. But there is an upward lift
to the girdle or shortening of the
waist line in many of the best coats
and wraps and a large number of the
handsomest gowns.
In Amasis Green.
One of the most original new
gowns of a whole display is an Amasis
(Nile green gray) marquisette
made over sky blue and worn with a
bright orange sash?a daring and
most successful scheme of color.
Then there is another gown in
striped black and white mousseline,
with a band of black Chantilly lace
round the hem above the band of
black velvet. It is of the adapted Empire
stylo with lisse bodice and full
white sleeves edged with black lace.
Color combinations are, indeed, a
feature.
Marabout Plumes Used.
Combined with flowers marabout
plumes are oftener used than ostrich.
Rough Materials Preferred.
Rough materials In almost Invisible
stripes and checks rival in popularity
the smoother materials.
Blue and Gold.
One of the best costume color com
binations of the season is that of a
great deal of brown and a much less
quantity of blue, with touches of
| gold in the embroideries.
Long Lines Essential.
| The constant iteration of long
I lines seems absolutely senseless to
the unitiated, but the well dressed
woman, whose clothes win admira|
tion, knows how much there is in the
| ecpression and realizes that this is
I the crucial consideration.
Girl's French Dress.
The French, or long waisted, dress
is always becoming to the younger
girls, and is so pretty and graceful
that it is a very general favorite.
This one can be made adapted to
party and dancing school wear or to
everyday use as one material or an!
other is chosen and as one trimming
or another is used. As illustrated
the frock is a dressy one made with
short sleeves and the material is fine
white lawn with trimming of embroidery,
but in the back view it is
shown made from bright red veiling
with frills of ribbon and becomes a
very much more durable, everyday
garment. For the more dressy frocks
white is always charming, and the
younger children wear washable materials
at all seasons, but for the
slightly older girls cashmere or veiling
in such colors as pale blue and
pink are much to be commended with
the trimming of ribbon and the yoke
of some pretty lingerie material or a
simple lace or embroidered net.' For
J everyday wear dark colored cash
meres ana vemngs are givuu pitueience
over everything else.
The dress is made with the waist
and the skirt. The waist Is full and
is arranged over a fitted body lining,
which is faced to form the yoke and
the pretty bertha conceals the upper
edge of the full portion. Both the
long and the short sleeves are gathered
into bands. The skirt is simply
straight and is finished with two
ruffles, above which is a group of
tiny tucks.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size (six years) is
four yards twenty-strven, three and
three-quarter yards thirty-two or two
and one-half yards forty-four inches
wide with nine and one-quarter yards
of ribhon for the frills, three-eighth

\R\V- /kNDEIgOiNl^l^f^
Theme: The Bible.
Brooklyn, N. Y.?Preaching at the
Irving Square Presbyterian Church,
Hamburg avenue and Weirfield street,
on the above theme, the Rev. Ira
VVemmell Henderson, pastor, took as
his text Is>.40:S: "The Word of our
God shall stand forever." He said:
This has been an age of criticism
| of the Scriptures, 'mere nas never
! been a time in (he history of Christianity
when the Bible was more
searchingly examined and the truthfulness
of its facts as presented more
questioned than in the days through
which we have passed and are passi
ing. The written truth of the divine
j revelation has been put to severe
I tests. Its foundations have been an:
alyzed. Its superstructure has been
I sounded. Its conclusions have been
I negatived and its very fabric has
j seemingly been destroyed. Some of
j us have feared that its permanence
has been threatened, its influence cur!
tailed, its contents in some measure
j expunged. Criticism has been strenI
uous in its handling of the Bible,
j Far more strenuous than some of us
j have thought advisable. Far more
j strenuous than many of us have
thought justifiable, necessary or wise.
Under the combined influence of a
! new science, a larger view of history,
' a more comprehensive geography, the
! tests of the validity and value of the
1 Scriptures have been changed and the
f content of the Word of God has been
I differently considered than custom!
arily. It has shocked many a soul,
! this process. It has brought many a
j layman and many a minister to the
! tide of the ocean of doubt and dls!
trust and of spiritual uncertainty,
j But it has been done. Whether we
j have liked it or no the light has b:e:i
turned on. It has incidentally been
turned on much that was the foolishness
of immature scholarship masquerading
under the guise of wisdom.
The criticism of the Scriptures has
:reated a widespread distrust of the
whole Book of God. It has upset
theology. It has removed many of
the old foundations for our belief
In the inspiration of the Word and
of the divinity of Jesus Christ. Sadly
in many quarters it has undermined
faith. But that has been rather Lecause
men have lacked the power to
differentiate and because they have
mistaken facts for human statement
and interpretation of the same, than
because the Scriptures have been
scientifically studied and the light of
the spirit Honestly ana neipiuny
turned on.
Actually there has been little cause
for alarm. Because we test the water
is no guarantee that it is contaminated.
Because we put acid to our
silver is no surety that it is only
plated. Because we take the invitation
of the Almighty and try Him
and His Word is no reason why we
should fear .that either or both are
frauds. Because we study the Word
carefully invites no presumption that
It will r.ot be able fully to meet all
our questions and successfully to
elucidate all our perplexities and to
justify itself. The Bible is not r.
book for dummies. It is the mechanically
preserved Word of a living God
who through the long ages has spoken
tn livlnc mem nnfl wlin Vfifc anpaks. It
is for men of intelligence who are
alive. And it invites the inquiry of
live and intelligent men.
There is and has been no cause
for alarm. For theology and religion
are not the same thing. A very religious
man may have a very atrocious
theology. And while it is always
best to express our religious knowledge
and experiences in the best theological
formulae that we may be able
to devise, it is always possible, humanity
being what it is, that we may
not be able to express in words the
exact consciousness of our minds and
souls. A man's theology wili change,
if he be a live and intelligent man,
with the maturing and magnifying
of his religious experiences. And if
our theology is ineffective to relate
our spiritual and moral experiences,
if our creeds do not correctly reveal
our thoughts, there is no reason in
the world why we should not do as
our fathers before us have done and
change our creeds, our formulated
theologies. Creeds are necessary as
an expression of a religious conscious
| ness. It were folly to score tnem.
But they should be plastic. They
J should grow with our growth and expand
with our expansion.
| And "so if investigation of the
j Scripture has relaid the ground for
; our belief in the inspiration of the
| Word of God we should not be fear|
ful. For it has made the foundation
J but more intelligible and truthful to
j the minds of men of to-day. It has
not destroyed the fact of inspiration,
j It has simply changed our major
I ground of belief therein. The Word
| is as inspired as it ever was. No theological
statement, however learned or
carefully worded, can alter the fact.
If the examination of the Scripture
has restated the grounds for our belief
in the divinity of Christ, it has
been simply to intensify our intellectual
acceptance of the fact of His
divineness. For He who was the ful!!
noeo r>f <rrar>n iinri tI'lltll flPOSndS nOt
| ugoi? vi. (-,? u.\/v ?? ?> ? ? -4
on any theological formula for demonstration
or justification. For He
was divine ere men began to prove
Him so.
, We ought to be thankful that the
test has come. For out of the fire
has emerged a stronger faith in the
inspired Word of God, a clearer comprehension
of the reaiions for our
faith. And it were worth while to
go through fire and through flood to
secure that.
Criticism has eliminated many a
perplexity. It has clarified much of
the obscurity of the Scripture records.
It has brought the testimony
of the four ends of the earth to the
substantiation of the accuracy in
1 fiverv essential Dart of God's most
Holy Word. Jt has given us a larger
knowledge. It has given us a surer
knowledge. Except for those who
were nearest to the events that are
chronicled in Scripture there has been
none more accurately informed, so
far as wo have light, concerning the
facts of Scripture than are we to-day.
The more I read of the researches
and results achieved by critical students
of the Bible and of the lands
with which it intimately associates
itself the more am I convinced that
the investigation is worth whatever it
may cost and that it is providential.
And I am also convinced that we
would do well to go slow about discounting
the opinions concerning the
Scripture and the facts therein recited
that have been held true in da>\.
long past, jt is a gcuc uuug mm. \>u
should remember that tho sum of
human wisdom is not resident in us
and that ouv forefathers were not
fools. This !.? an intensely critical
and scientific age. It demands ]:rooi
and evidence Jl:at heretofore v.'as not
deemed necessary or reverent. Bui
the more we read and hear the more
we are led to believe that the fatherc,
in not so informed and scientific an
{.go. were not so deluded when they
accepted on faith that for which wc
demand proof. For we get the prool
when we ask for it, so it would seem,
and it is very largely confirmatory
of the past.
The gates of hell cannot prevail
against the Bible. For it is the trutnf?l
record of the largest longings, the
| wickedest sins, the most delightful
j religious exaltations of individuals
and a people. Its human interest is
superb. It meets our lives at every
point. It has comfort for the sorrow|
irg, peace for the afflicted, inspiration
for the heavy-hearted, enthusiasm for
the discouraged, admonition for the
wicked, salvation for the penitent.
The farmer feels its vitality, the
shepherd acknowledges its appeal,
the rich man learns its lessons, the
poor man thanks God for its democracy.
It is the book of the people,
for it is redolent with the life of the
people. And wherever there is a soul
in torment, wherever there is a man
who mourns, wherever there is a
woman with a broken heart, wherever
there is a mind in gloom, or a body
that is racked with pain, there will
the Bible be and be enjoyed. For it
radiates good cheer, it speaks to us
honestly of the deepest things of life
it warns us of the consequences of
evil and the satisfactions of righteousness.
The Bible Is as intelligible
to Youth as to old age. It has a mes
sage for all. It can charm a boy with
its heroes as a man with its profound
philosophy. It can animate a girl as
it can inspire and intensify a woman's
love for God. And it does these
things.
And because it docs it will nevex
grow stale or profitless or valueless.
It will ever stand. "The Word of our
God shall stand forever." It is eternal.
It is not the creature of time.
It is the child of eternity.
And it would stand forever if for
no other reason than that it unfolds
the earthly history of the incarnate
God, So long as'the Bible speaks of
Christ it will live. For Ke is its inspiration.
The revelation of Him is
its mission. And so long as men shall
sin and need salvation, so long as
souls shall turn to God in Christ for
aid, so long will men love the Scripture
and magnify its force.
Shallow thinkers may enlarge the
difficulties that inhere within the
Scripture. Bad men may quote il
for their evil ends. Foolish men maj
twist its meanings and assure us ol
its fallibility. But the Bible wil!
' stand. It will stand forever. And
TcViari TPO aro rmno and fhp milnties!
generations that shall follow us hav?
come and gone the long way in oui
steps the Bible will be here. For it is
the Word of the Lord. Let us nevei
forget it! And it shall endlessly per

A Rise by Sclf-Sacrifice.

by self-will to show us that man mus
rise by self-sacrifice. To grow this
passion within him were all the sac
rifices to which God led him in hi!
weary history Ilore and more near
ly did God reveal Himself unto man
until in the self-sacrifice of Calvarj
the heart of man was taken and God*!
self-sacrifice began the life of self
sacrifice in humanity. "The glory o:
God and of the Lamb is light there

Enough has been said of the cityits
divine socialism?to show that t<
reach it each man must Degin to liv<
for others, that his whole life mus
be a life of meekness and burden
bearing. God through the ages re
vealed Himself as the bearer of man'i
burdens and by this revelation liftec
men slowly to a life of mutuaf help
fulness, until at last in the sin
bearer He disclosed Himself as th<
victim of Calvary. The future socia
organization after that could hav<
no other light but that of tke glor;
of God in the slain Lamb.
Enough has been said of holines
in man?of sainthood?to show tha
the city of God will be inhabited?i
it is the Holy City?by those whi
have met with foes and vanquishei

, List of Licensed Drinkers.
I The State of Oregon has taken a
1 new departure in the temperance
1 movement, and the plan is said to
r work well so far. In all other States
where liquor is allowed to be sold,
1 the seller is licensed. In Oregon the
i order of things has been reversed.
! Instead of licensing the seller, the
buyer of strong drink is compelled
1 to take out a license for which he has
to pay $5 every six months. Saloon
1 men are compelled by law to confine
th^ir sales exclusively to persons
> holding licenses to buy. under pain
> of a heavy fine for selling to unau'
thorized drinkers. The departure
1 from the usual order of things is so
1 radical that naturally there are many
complaints against it, and there are
' many people who declare it is wrong;
' that it is a restriction on the liberties
: j of the individual; that the State can1
I not legally say that one may and
. I in nth or mav nnt rlrink or do any
; |
| thing else. A feature of the law that
is especially unpopular among a large
1 class of drinking people is that every
six months the complete list of the
1 licensed drinkers is published. This
1 publication is held by many to be an
1 outrage. But there are strong argu'
ments in support of the law as a
1 whole and in support of the publication
clause. It is held that the State
has just as much right to license the
; buyer as the seller of an article; that
I in withholding licenses from persons
" | known to be confirmed.drunkards the
| State is simply exercising its rigat
I and duty in protecting the commun|
ity. As to the publication feature,
1 j It is held by supporters of the law
| '.hat drinking breeds crime and pau
;ers, by which the public suffers, and
' j that the public has a perfect right to
1 j know who are the drinking people
1 j in any community. Then, too, it is
1 j held that the publication of drink license's
has the effect of restraining
' j many people from becoming drinkers.
L Of course, there are men who will
r Jrink when and where they please
J regardless of who knows it; but there
: | are also many men in every comr
| munity who do not want to declare
j to the world that they are drinking
' ; men, and these are deterred from
t J drinking by the fact that they can5
j not drink in secret. It is also held
5 :o be beneficial to business interests
* j that employers should know who are
J j :he drinkers and who are the sober
j men, especially the young men. Par
, jnts, too, are not kept in the dark
[ is to the habits of their sons, and
| ire thus enabled to take measures for
their benefit. As yet, however, the
1 1 new law seems to be only in the ext
I perimental stage. Its workings will

Arizona Trapper's Lack.
L. R. Ford, who devotes his time
to trapping, brought to Phoenix yesterday
the results of a month's work
along the Gila and Salt rivers. He
I captured in that time six wildcats,
seven coyotes, four raccoons, seven
skunks and two foxes. The bounty
on this kill will be about ?40, and
the hides will brilng an additional
lesser sum.
Coyotes are plentiful in that section,
but are hard to capture by trapping
and still harder to get with a
gun. Wildcats are so few that he
thinks he landed the most of them
and will have to hunt in another
place.
All the animals were caught with
a steel trap set in the brush and
baited. A wildcat measures about
sixteen inches from where he plants
his feet to the point where he noses
fnr ttio hnit and thp tranner savs he
has it figured down to such a fine
point that he hardly ever fails to lay
the bait at just the right distance
from the trap, so the cat will step
into it as he reaches for the meat.
Coyotes are shrewder and soon get
wise to the trapper, and it is not long
before the whole coyote relation in
the region has been informed and
spotted every trap so they can get
around them to secure the bait and
! make a safe getaway.?Arizona Republican.
Incorrigible.
In a certain school in Washington
there was one lad who would persist
in saying "have went."
One day the teacher "kept him in,"
saying:
"While I am out of the room you
may write 'have gone* fifty times."
When the pedagogue returned he
found that the boy had dutifully performed
the task, having written
"have gone" fifty times. On the other
side of the paper, however, was this
message from the absent one:

? DOCTOR SAID "USE CUTICURA"

State?Order Resulted in
5 Cure.
"When I was small I was troubled with
eczema for about three months. It was all
" over my face and covered nearly all of my
head. It reached such a state that it was
1 just a large scab all over, and the pain and
? itching were terrible. I doctored with an
able physician for some time and was then
" advised by him to use the Cuticura Remedies,
which I did and I was entirely cured.
' I have not been bothered with it since. 1
? used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment,
but do not know exactly how much was
' used to complete the cure. Miss Anabel

it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs ^
and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of
known value, bat one of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debilitating ,
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection*
able substances. To get its beneficial \
effects always purchase the genuine?
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists.

Beware of Ointments For Catarrh
That Contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the sense of
smell and completely derrnge the whole ?y?tem
when entering it through the mucous
surfaces. Such articles should never be used
except on prescriptions from reputable physicians,
as the damage they will ao is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive front
them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, 0.. contains
no mercury, and is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of thesystem. JnbuyingHall's Catarrh Cure
