Health Authorities Look Into Sani*
tary Condition of the Garden and
Prescribe Regulations for the Host.
New York, Special.?Dowie called
for special prayers at the early meeting
in Madison Square Garden for
those of his following who are ill. At
least 43 are said to be unable to leave
their hoarding houses on account of
sickness. The conditions in the Garden
have been called to the attention of the
board of health and officers paid an official
visit to Dowie's army" and will
do all possible to preserve sanitary
conditions in the Zion headquarters.
Another healing meeting was in order
Wednesday.
"Just to show that I am in favor
with the Christian merchant princes of
this city," said Mr. Dowie. "I will announce
the money which has come to
me this morning alone. These sums
are from men unknown to me, but who
evidently believe I am right. One sends
me a check for 55,000. another a check
for $1,000. another for $1,500, and another
gave me $200. These contributions
were unsolicited. They were accompanied
by the kindest words."
During Dowie's sermon a number of
students marched out in squads. Dr. i
fnrnpti tn stnn. and after he I
J-/vj w ic n uo iut vvu bv w?wr,
began again he was interrupted by a
college yell from outside the Garden,
ending with the slogan. "Dowie, Dowie,
Dowie."
"They are like most of the students
I know," said Mr. Dowie, "their brains
are in their feet."
At this a well-dressed man got up,
and as he was leaving Dowie shouted
at bim, "You are not commonly decent."
For the first tim* Mr. Dowie ordered
reporters excluded and those who were
seated at the reporter's table were
escorted to the door at Dr. Dowie's orders
to his guards: "Clear the tainted
vipers out r-f here. Be careful how you
handle tiicm, not to get any of their
filth on you. Now get out, you mean
dogs, you yellow scoundreds of the
press. We will have no more of you
in here. I am paying for this place,
you liars. This is my building. Hurry
up, guards. The sight of them disgusts
me. Don't waste any restoration talk
on the liars. It is useless. They have
sold their souls to the devil. I never
hope to convert a reporter. They would
be blacksliders."
A squad of inspectors from the
health department invaded Madison
Square Garden Wednesday and ordered
sweeping changes in the method of
quartering the Zion guards and a part
of the "host" of 4,000 there. An order
was posted that only a certain number
of persons could sleep in each room
and that there must be better ventilation.

Doston, Special.?The new battleship
Missouri proved herself the
queen of the seas in her class in a
speed trial trip over the Cape Ann
course with weather conditions of a
considerably handicapping nature.
Steaming over a course of 3 nautical
miles and return, the battleship made
an average speed of 18.05 knots an
hour, which, with tidal corrections
greatly in her favor, it is believed will
advance it to 18.22 knots, a new
world's record for battleships of her
class. The best previous record made
by a battleship in the Missouri's class
Is that of the Maine, a sister ship,
which wa3 17.98 knots an hour.

working for the Mississippi Valley
Railroad. Several days ago complaint
was lodged against them that they
had contracted debts and refused to
pay. Charges were made and Constable
Songy went out to see the negroes. On
his way he met John Hinds, a negro

with a shotgun and commanded him
to keep away from the camp. Songy

THE AMERICAN CIRL
Triio Type Shown a Pretty Woman Attractively
Dreaaed.
The real typical American girl is cot
a society girl. Portraits typifying lier
ns such are untrue. She has her social
diversions; she has her parties and
picnics and her social merry-go-round
of pleasure, but they are not her life,
they are mere incidents of her life, for
her life is work. Of course, there are
girls who have nothing to do but to
amuse themselves year in and year
out. Pictures of these girls, with their
kind, in festive gear, in full dress, in
golf-clothes and in yachting rigs are
doubtless typical of the class. But
the entire class does not number one
hundred thousand among seventy million
people, and members of this leisure
class are merely flics on the wheel.
Typical Americans must be drawn in
their working-clothes if the drawings
represent the type. So the typical
American girl will not be found in her
party dress, though she wears it becomingly
and with real grace when
the occasion demands, but rather she
will he found in her working-clothes.
In her working-clothes?be they of the
kitchen, the factory, the shop, the office,
the housenold or the school-room?
* - Crt/I iti+nrwlorl her to
| sue is as rtai as uuu
be. But mark you, even then the chief
point about her is that she knows how
to wear her frocks, knows how to dress
tastefully at a small expenditure, and
that whatever her work, she is at pains
and is ambitious to make herself look
well. And she succeeds. Whatever
her station, you will be pretty sure to
find a girl worth looking at. The true
type of the American girl will always
show a pretty, young woman attractively
dressed.
The typicaL American girl, then, is
one who is charming and good-looking,
who lives in the spirit of fraternity
and who works for a living. But In
this connection the word "living" does
not mean "board and keep." It means
itrtrn* in the broadest sense of the
"' "O ?
word?growing, aspiring, becoming.
The American girl who works with her
hands does so only that she may rise
to better condition of soul and mind
and heart. It is not the bread-and-butter
problem that is making a wageearner
of the American girl. Fathers
and brothers can take care of that. It
is the soul problem?how to live; how
to get all the best out of civilization;
how to grow in grace. Young men are
not the only beings who shall "see
visions." The American girl also sees
visions, and she is fired with an ambition
as resistless as her brother's.?

Home Companion.
Acceosories For tlie Fashionable Gown.
High, curved belts require the deep
buckles now so much worn in the Jeweled
and enamel work.
Stiff little bows with tiny buckles and
rosettes with a jeweled button centre
are among the novelties for trimming
coats and bodices.
The latest fashionable embroideries
are Persian and Chinese.
The rage for lace continues. Yak
lace, made of fine wool in all the new
shades, is much used, as arc Tcneriffe,
.Spanish silk lace, Mexican. Cluny and
antique laces of all descriptions. All
kinds of laces are worn together, and
black and white or coffee color and
white lace are used to trim the same
gown. Filet lace Is also called upon to
do service on our summer gowns.
Cloth is used in all sorts of curious
ways. Fir instance, lace, grenadine,
and the lightest fabrics are strapped
with cloth. It is also used for underskirts;
and embroidered cloth blouses
nw n noveltv.
Foundations are made separate from
the skirts, and a skeleton silk bodice is
needed for slip blouses, inasmuch as
many of our bodices have become slip
blouses in themselves.
The deep collars in lawn cr lace are
as fashionable as ever, and they are
likely to remain so.
Host of the loose boleros have square
or yoke collars, which finish off in long
stole cuds.
The Russian blouse is still very popular;
it has only altered in its mode of
trimming. Ornaments dangle from
either side, suspended by the miniature
stole ends.
Petticoats are extravagantly gotten j
tip. The idea is to keep them flat at j
the top and fussy at the bottom. The j
top is sometimes composed of a latticework
of ribbon, and the rest of the petticoat
bristles with frills and flounces.
From beneath the knee, petticoats are
considerably more flounced than last
year'* models; the trimmings are
varied and original. There is quite a
craze for black and white, and an
endless variety of models are in fancy j
cotton, organdie and batiste.?Amerlcan

Brauty and Amiability.
Despite some opinions to the con-'
trary. it is apparent to observant eyes
that many girls who are possessed of
a good share of physical charm do not
exhibit that amiability and kindliness
of spirit which are qualities possessed
by the plainer girl.
There is a certain amount cf prific,
verging on haughtiness, which, in the j
beauty, seems to be an obstacle to affability.
They rely on their good looks
for their success with women as well
as with men, and they do not take It
in.o consideration that anything more
is expected of them than to look pretty
and charm the eye, writes Mrs. M. L.
Bean, in American Queen. They are
also apt to assume an attitude of condescension
toward others?and\dl on
the strength of their superior looks.
The. plain girl, knowing that she has j
' $
no personal beauty to depend upo? Ar
popularity, cultivates an amiable a?l, J
affable nature, thus appealing to otb0m
in a more real and permanent wsf.
Beauty is truly but skin deep, but * ' *'
beautiful nature will, in tbe long run,
win more friends?true, lasting friends
?than all the flashing eyes and pearly;
teeth In the world. I
Iu justice to pretty girls, jiowcve^ It
cannot be denied that there are som* ,
as amiable as they are pretty, but till*
is not the rule, by any means. There
are others who are really amiable, but
who make no effort to exhibit the factj
except on eerlaln occasions. These girls
put themselves in a false light and
cause others to believe, them lacking
In a quality which they?the beautiew
?do not think it worth while to ex*
hibit. 1
In order to be popular and bdored* ,,
a girl should exhibit her natural a(Et~
bility to the opposite sex at all times.
A man will, in time, tire of mere good
looks and will realize In the merely;
pretty the lack o'f something deeper
and more lasting. These qualities tb*
plainer girl posseses to her own more
permanent popularity.
The Shirt lVslit Jacket. . 3
Have you heard about the shirt waist
jacket? It is to be worn cool days over
the more filmy shirt waists, aa?L is
made to show us much of the shirt '
waist as possible. Tbe sleeves end
just below the eibow, and in front tbo
jacket is cut very low and finished
with long revers. A smart-looking
shirt waist is made of scarlet silk fian^
nel, with black moire revers and cAff*
for the elbow sleeves. The back of the : 3
little coat is tight fitting; in tbe froot
there is a slight blouse, which is draws,
into tbe waist by a narrow black moire
belt. Below the Melt tbe silk flannel
extends in the shape of a narrow joke
over tbe hips, with two tab-shaped
pieces in front. This little yoke-portion
is finished with rows of Mick
silk stitching. The shirt waist garr
ment is also charming made op In more;
delicate shades of silk flannel or eg&t
weight cloth, and worn over an eft
white waist. It is very lovely In clood
