THE WOMAN OF FASHION. August and September Programmes at the Summer Resorts. ' Something About the Earnest Moun taineer—The Golf Cape—Fancies for Cooler Days—A Few New Costumes. Copyright. New York, Aug. 18.-Gaiety at the re sorts grows with the summer. Now that the nights and a great many of the days are so delightfully cool, all the so ciety leaderd are incited to fresh efforts and novel ideas. An innovation which finds great favor among the young men at Asbury is the treat that is given by the young women. After the dance or garden party in the early evening, there is a walk to a pretty resort where cream and ice abound; and here the young men are lavishly treated, while the maidens stand the expense. The men'only wish it would happen oftener than it does. Those are the times when one would say, looking at them. “How fond men are of cream!” The girls content themselves with one plate on such occasions. * InitL > -,/ 1 *vsj' /lUV / fl: - Jf ll n l c’• A Ribbon Gown. ' When the other resorts have commenced to thin out, Lenox will be in the hight of its glory. It has opened brilliantly, and will be much gayer this year than it was last. They are getting-up elaborate pro grammes for the next two weeks’ enter tainment. There’s going to be a handicap tennis tournament, a sailboat race, a bowlirg contest for women only, the annual floral tub parade, of course and the usual Lenox Club races. Then they are going to make a great feature of golf. So much has been written on golf and golfers that one feels a little timid about approaching the subject. But there is this to be said; don’t follow the Englishwoman’s fashion of wearing a heavy ugly costume of some rough Scotch plaid/ that will make you a so warm that you will not be able to en joy the game. The Irritation of occasion ally missing your ball and smartly rap ping your foot instead, will be sufficient to keep you warm, even on a cool day and in a thin costume. An all white cos tume—a duck—makes a most suitable dress. Keep it rather short, wear be neath the jacket a thin white front. A 'V xr * ■§»-</ aw l» W*= =x j 0 S\\ i >WWM'T A '£ ,»uJßw® 4b.

Or the dark blue skirt, with cool white waist and blue sailor hat, is above criti cism for this sport. With the cool weather, the mountain eers have started their early fall ascents. For them the rough tweed skirts, made very short, even to the top of the boots, are more suitable. A shirt waist is be neath the ample golf cape, without which the mountaineer's costume is scarcely complete. The golf cape is always of some heavy double-faced or covert cloth, lined with a bright plaid silk; for partic ularly severe weather, a camel’s hair check may serve for lining. In shape, it is a circle, and it falls half way to the knees. Either a short upper cape, or a more useful hood is added, lined with the silk. The straps inside are fastened on the shoulder, crossed over the bust and carried beneath the arms to the back, where thefy may be fastened or carried once more to the front, at the belt line. Thus the cane may fall away in front, or be thrown back over the shoulders at will, without its becoming displaced. For ordinary cool wear, the small jack ets that were almost discarded have come into pity. For the fall they will be jet trimmed, with large collars and revers. At the seaside white serge capes are most 1 popular. They are generally made of one rutile only, with a trimming of rich white braid, of an open lace work variety, set in, not over, the serge. A small ripple collar falls over the shoulders, and a pretty ruche encircles the throat. Very stylish jackets in fijw black cloth, are now very cheap. Some that are larger than a bolero, but fashioned simi larly in front and touched with pretty bands of jet, are seen in the shops. Such a one costs only 18. A very pretty Au gust costume for the seaside looks like this: A duck skirt of fine blue and white stripe, trimmed with a broad band of rich, dark blue, over which are laid rows of white braid, so that blue and white alternate. The shirt waist worn with it is of clear fawn tint, belted in with dark blue, and a delicately chased silver buckle. The jacket of plain, dark blue cloth is a very jaunty shape, short under the arms and falling in slender points in front, with a soft ripple collar, and moderate revers, I and all are edged with narrow trimming of jet. A tie of red polka dots on which brightens the whole. Another seaside costume is all of dark blue except the pale gray suede gloves and modest hat; and is extremely becoming to the clear blonde who wears it. Scarlet fronts, worn with either all white or all black costumes, are a striking August feature. These fronts are of mousseline de soie, In the bright red, made very full; and over them to coniine the fullness to some extent, fall three straps of open work silk braid, black or white, whichever the costume may be. A black or white boa is worn over. A new and severe costume is creating considerable attention at a popular re sort. Its wearer has not only a perfect figure, but perfect walk; and her straight skirt and straight jacket, all in faultless black, are more striking than the gay costumes that walk near. The material is of finest cloth, with nothing to note re garding the skirt, except its graceful hang. The coat is short, reaching just to the hips, and out quite round and plain at the bottom. Not a suggestion of point or rever anywhere bht simply a double breasted effect, given by the four square buttons that trim each side, and a plain high collar, encircling the throat. The small round pockets are also worthy of note. That pique is the rage in Paris, we have nearly all of us heard ; but it is trav eling onward, this rage, and touching our shores. The strong, closely-wrought ma terial suggests cooler weather ; and white pique has been introduced with good es- feet into a dress made for early fall. In the skirt of soft tan colored cloth is inserted a narrow breadth of white pique, held well in place by a row of tiny white buttons that catch down one side. The short jacket and its revers are all of the tan, but the white comes out in a fold at the edge. Then there is the mousseline front and crush collar of the tint. With gloves and hat to match the pique, one could scarcely find a daintier costume for clear afternoons. A ribbon gown is also a very sate one for this peculiar go-between season. The moires are still most fashionable, al though the satins and the quaint, old fashioned chines rival them. Another green and black costume has been made up with ribbons. Though.the combina tion is old, the eye never seems to weary of the combination of black with those clear, dainty greens. This dress is a green taffeta, shading off into white, and the ribbon is arranged in graceful curves on the skirt. From beneath small moire choux at the right side of the ; skirt, not far below the hins the three bands of ribbon start j crossing the back in a down- I ward slant, and sweeping still on an in cline, around to the front, where they end lin three more choux. A roll of the black finished the plain, round yoke. beneath | which the silk bodice is daintily gathered THE WEEKLY NEWS (TWO-TIMES-A-WEEK): THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1894. and belted with moire. The sleeves are very pretty with two loose ruffles falling over a short puff. You may order a silk eown without fear, for it will serve you for some time to come. The taffetas in fine checks are being made up at present in bodices, in costumes, and in light petticoats. The favorite shades are all subdued—gray, blacks and whites, or else soft lavender shades and dull, pale greens. ROMANCE OF A NEBRASKA OITY. Rapid Growth of the Capital and the Real Estate Boom That Followed. A. S. Cody in New York Independent. . You hear fairy stories of the mushroom cities of tfae west—of Leadville becoming a populous center in two years, and then growing smaller almost as fast as it grew large. But Leadville had no state univer sity, no magnificent postoffice building and court house, no architectural phenom ena, such as a beautiful white stone state insane asyfum of a size and elegance that any state of any nation might well be proud, and a penitentiary equally impos ing. Many men went to Leadville, but surely you could not have found there the scholars of a state, as you might have found at Lincoln. Leadville didn’t get five railroads all in a lump. Railroads may fail and pass into the hands of re ceivers, but railroads are substantial things, and however badly they pay,there they are, fast and solid, and usually they have to be run, though there was a time, possibly, in the hard times of the 70’s, when the railroads lying around and about Lincoln were not all run. Lincoln was, from the first, a city to be proud of. Born, as I have said, full fledged as a city from the wisdom of the state, with all the paraphernalia and im pedimenta of cityhood thrice augmented, as I have described, it maintained itself steadily and continuously through all the hard times of the 70’s; for it was then that the finest buildings were put up, and that settled air of eastern culture was at tained. And all this is true, just as I have stated it; for I am no longer an inhabitant of Lincoln, and I was not born there, and it is years since my nostrils breathed its brisk airs. But I saw, or heard from my own father, all that I have described. The rest of this romance of a city must be devoted to dry statistics—not as to the number of paupers, insane and criminals, the number of students at the university, male and female, and so forth, but to the price of city lots; for all the bloom and all the tragedy of the fair young city was in the price of her city lots. City lots in good locations started in at about S2OO, were bought for 8400 and over in the early seventies, and sold for SIOO after the crash 43f ’74. Only those who were obliged to sell sold, and those who were not obliged to sell held their property at the old figures. But prices went steadily down for the next seven years. Land worth $5,000 declined to $4,000 in ’76, to $3,000 in ’7B, and sold in ’BO for $2,000. Each year the city grew 1,000 inhabitants; it matured and became more or less rich in and of itself, but it had little surpl us money to put on to prices of lots. The slow, steady decline forced out the poor little by little, and the pros perous and wealthy bought, hoping for a happy day. At last the happy day came. It had been a prosperous year, and the wheat and the corn and the oats were excellent. The country in general was prosperous. Everything was propitious. How it started nobody knew, but it got into the air—that happy day. Long and patient waiters recognized it at once. They could not be mistaken, they who had waited for fully fifteen years for the happy day to come. They recognized it when it was only a breath in the air. They encouraged it at once by every power within their reach. They fanned the little spark of boom till it began to blaze. They wrote to their eastern friends about it. Their jealous rivals, the new-comers to the city, who did not hold the land, but wished they did, saw the spark and offered to buy. The old ones sold, and then bought back, and then sold again. Everybody heard how prices were going from SSOO to SI,OOO, and SI,OOO to $1,500. Young boys went down to the real estate offices and bought suburban lots for S3OO in the morning and sold them the next morning for SSOO. Two hundred dollars for a mere boy who knew nothing, and that in a single night! Money grew like Jonah’s gourd. People heard about it and rushed toward the great city of Lin coln. Lincoln, said the old ones, was the great railrbad center of the west. Every important raskoad of the plains passed through it. It must be the great shipping center of the whole vast west. If was destined to be like Chicago, the mighty, only larger. There are 20.000 people in Lincoln, which had been growing stead ily at the rate of 1,000 in a year, or even 2.000. Now 10.000 people came at once. The railroad trains were crowded. The hotels were crowded. Ten thousand people must have homes. Ten thousand people must buy lots to live on and build houses to inhabit. They would not come and go away again, as they did from the mushroom mining towns; for Lincoln had its university, its schools, its culture, its improvements, and its insane asylum and penitentiary. If men lost their wits in the wild race, still they would stay in Lincoln; and if men went daft and committed crimes, still they stayed. Lincoln was not a place you could so easily escape from. It may have been uncertain just what these 10,000 peo ple would do after they had their homes and had speculated. But at any rate they had to stay there, and they did. Prices went madder and madder. Then they grew cool and cooler. There were no more buyers and no more sellers. Land, city lots, had doubled, tripled in value, all the old inhabitants had made the fortunes, and the city having gained 50 per cent, in a year, values could never go back again. Theqe was Father Brighton. He had come from Illinois with a few hundreds in his pocket. In Chicago he had just missed making his fortune, and now he was old. With his few hundreds he bought a quarter section of unbroken land on the edge of the city limits, erected a battened barn, in which he housed his family, and a lean-to shed, in which he housed his cattle. He made him a garden and turned his cows and horses out to grass. When the boom came he sold his quarter section for city lots—all but a fine estate of ten acres on a commanding eminence in the center of West Lincoln for $75,000. The $75,000 he invested in mortgages at 10 per cent, on the land he had sola, and there he was, in his old age, finding the fortune he had always missed till now. There was Ingram. He had been a real estate dealer all these years, sometimes with money to feed bis family, sometimes without, waiting patiently for his origi nal city lots to rise in value. They had steadily declined instead of rising, and he could never get rich with such an incubus about his neck. But at last the boom came, and he sold his city ots for $200,- 000, and became established as a real estate broker and manager so firmly that now he is a millionaire. I need not mention every name. I know somebody who owned lots all those years, until the last, when prices reached their very ebb tide, when the lots were sold to put bread in the mouths starving children and to bury the dead. The boom came too late for him. But tljat is only one of the many items in the romance and tragedy of the young life of a maiden Athene city of the plains. The largest ropes in the world, it is said, are those being made by a New Bedford firm, to be used on the driving wheel in the engine room of the Chicago Cable Railroad Com pany. There will be twelve ropes, each measuring 3 inches in diameter. 11 inches in circumference and 1,280 feet in length. THE GOSSIP OF GOTHAM. How Mr. Whitney Refused to Come Home for the President. * I | l|H Mies Rockefeller’s Engagement. What Col. Denby Is to Do in China for the New York Merchants. (Copyright.) New York, Aug. 18.—The phenomenon of the time in New York is the political weakness of William C. Whitney. This does not mean that his power is gone—he could even secure the gubernatorial nom ination, but it would require great effort —by any means. But there have just come to light circumstances, yet to be made public, which promise to be as em barrassing to Mr. Whitney as circum stances can be. As is well known, Mr. Whitney and Mr. Cleveland, once warm friends, were reputed subsequently to be a trifle estranged. This estrangement was the result of Mr. Whitney's efforts to advance the interests of the Standard Oil Company by allying the Democratic party with its for- is political lieutenants lost no time in meet ing this attack. They at once started to “boom” him for governor, and succeeded in delaying the tariff bill through their influence in the Senate. This was done as a show of strength for the President’s benefit, and it need hardly be stated that Senators Gorman, Brice, Hill and even Cameron were not slow in taking ad vantage of an opportunity to further their peculiar ends. Now, the one new thing in all this is the fact that Mr. Whitney’s followers were instrumental in delaying the tariff bill. In the House it is an open secret that Mr. Whitne.y and Mr. Havemeyer have pretty much the same coterie of schemes to carry out their aims. Senator Cameron, in the Senate, is said to be very much in the confidence of both Whitney and Havemeyer, and to be very friendly with the democratic interests generally. His personal sympathies are more with demo cratic senators than with republican ones. The Standard Oil Company being a factor in the situation unknown to most onlookers, it seemed essential that Mr. Whitnej' should return from Europe and help straighten matters out. This, it seemed, he could easily have done, and the long, irritating deJay, which, even to this day, has never been clearly ex plained, would have been avoided. Nor can it be asserted that no intimation that his presence was vital has been made to Mr. Whitney. On the contrary, he was made aware in no uncertain way that if he returned he could play the role of the savior of his party. Only he could settle the claims of the two great trusts by making them cease an unseemly strife. Both the Havemeyers and the Rockefel lers obey Whitney’s slightest behest. But for some reason Mr. Whitney would not return. Instead, he caused the plain est announcement to be made that his tour abroad haa been interrupted by ill ness in his family, and that he was de tained in London by the state of his daughter’s health. Yet the administration waited. Still there was no sign. The fight went on. The weary delay continued, disgusting the country, and in desperation Mr. Cleve land was compelled to write his famous letter to Chairman Wilson. And there was one thing in that letter which has yet to be fully appreciated by the country. When Mr. Cleveland mentioned trusts and their peculiar methods, it was sup posed he had sugar in mind. But the few who have known the details given above saw tnat Mr. Cleveland was speak ing Os the Standard Oil Company, and giving the plainest notice to Mr. Whitney that he must either give up his trust or his party. It is now nothing more nor less than a severe breach between Mr. Whitney and the President. Some democrats are wondering how it will end. LABOR DAY PREPARATIONS. The trades unions of New York are making preparations to celebrate Labor day with unusual elaboration, notwith- standing that the holiday is still some little time away. It is pro posed to have a parade and a se ries of mass meetings with prominent ora tors to make ad dresses. There will be a contin gent from out of town, too, and the occasion will in all probability bring together quite a delega tion of labor leaders. “The whole country is making the same preparations,” remarked Samuel Gompers when questioned on the subject. “I cannot remember a time in the history of Labor day when it aroused more en thusiasm. This is due to the unusual prominence of the labor question this year, but the complaint may still be made that the day is not adequately honored. However, there will come a change in that. I do not doubt.” Quite a number of banners and insignia have been ordered, some by out of town labor unions. It is understood that Sen ator Allen ©f Nebraska is considering the possibility of accepting an invitation to address the grand mass meeting and that James R. Sovereign and Eugene V. Debs will also speak. OUR VETERAN DIPLOMAT. The return of our minister to China, Col. Charles Denby, to his post in Pekin, has attracted more attention than the movements of our diplomats usually do, and to various I J \ at Pekin for nine col. Charles denby. years, and in all that time has had no vacation until now. He is the dean of the dinlomatic corps in the Flowery Kingdom, and his influence in Pekin is so great that New Yorkers have been very sensible of what they owe him. The tea trade at the port of New York is now in so embarrassed a condition that tne special efforts of our minister may alone save it from stoppage altogether. But there is one thing our merchants and exchanges refrained from doing at the suggestion of Mr. Denby, and that was to recommend interference on the part of tunes. The first inti m a t i o n of trouble was in letters from southern demo crats warning the President that Mr. Whit ney’s power with the party was be ing used with ef fect by such pop ulist as Tillman, Simpson and Kolb to prove the existence of cor poration influ ence. Mr. Whit ney was thep in Europe, but his New York inter ests his depart ure was impera tively necessary. Indeed, but for the urgent repre sentations of Gotham capital ists, Mr. Denby might not have received his or ders to return for some time to come, since he has been our minister our government. The British merchants did this with the expectation that the New York Chamber of Commerce would follow their example. Such a course, however, could only result in inflaming the minds of the Chinese against us, as they are now against the London traders Mr. Denby had quite a conference with the New Yorkers, a fact until now not revealed, and a new treaty with China will shortly be entered into by this gov ernment. This fact ought to interest the concressmen from the Pacific slope. Be fore no great lapse of time the interests of New York and of San Francisco may clash over this treaty. New York wants concessions which cannot be secured, as Mr. Denby plainly said, unless the ob noxious provisions of the exclusion law are modified. And, strange to say, this whole matter has been kept so quiet that nobody knows anything about it, .nor that a hot fight is in prospect over ’ the terms of the treaty that will come. STEVE BRODIE’S LUCK. That famous New Yorker, Mr. Steve Brodie, is once more the pride of his be loved Bowery. The stab that laid him low only disabled him temporarily. The bridge jump er is undoubtedly the last of a curi ous race. The old time Bowery is passing away and under the persua sive powers of the police has become comparatively res pectable. It is no I longer dangerous! for the exploring! hayseed to venture' upon that thor oughfare, and the tourist who has heard of its wilds is always disap pointed when he sets foot upon it. Now Steve Bro- sieve brodie. die is the old guard of this departed great ness, although he is not old himself by any means. He has a wonderful collection of pictures of the sporting characters of the past and present, and he has, too, an as sortment of trophies uqequaled among the wonders of the gathering mania. He exhibits with pride a daub of Mitchell’s blood, wiped up from the floor of the ring after his battle with Corbett. He owns a bit of the sock worn by Sullivan when he beat Ryan, and the pair of gloves with which Corbett made himself champion of the world. Nor is this by any means a list of the most wonderful of the Brodie trophies. Most persons will learn with interest that these relics have quite a money value among the enthusiasts of the ring, and that Brodie has a snug little fortune in them. MISS WILLARD’S NEW ROLE. It is stated that Frances Willard, the renowned temperance agitator, is about to make a radical change in her methods A w. ; Frances willard. the efforts made by the working classes to lead temperate lives. "It is social conditions which make men drunkards.” she said, "and our or ganizations too frequently neglect tomake allowances for that fact. In my opinion, we shall be obliged to become the cham pions of the trades unions and work with might and main to better the industrial condition of wage earners before the vice of drunkenness can be attacked.” It will be easily seen how great a change this involoes, and when it is addeii that Miss Willard has been freely expressing her sympathy with socialism and contributing to its funds, the possi bilities of the situation are limitless. Miss Willard is more celebrated and has greater influence than any woman now in her field of effort. A ROCKEFELLER EPISODE. For some time now a rumor has been circulated among the friends of the Rockefeller family to the effect that one of the daughters of that house of riches is engaged to be married. It is Miss Alta, daughter of John \ D. Rockefeller, XwEiEOjgX whom report men tions in this inter- ** esting way. and ' I her possible hus- \. jl i band is said to be \ ■ a young Baptist clergyman,who for ■'? x ' more than a year \ past has shared ’ 'pTAI I the interest of the - 1 (V \ Rockefeller family *• in foreign missions miss rockefeller. and Sunday school work. To offset this recent rumor is the recent assertion of Mrs. John D. Rockefeller that neither of her two unmarried daughters is en gaged to be married. But as such an as sertion is made as a matter of course with every newly announced engagement of a prominent young lady, it does not count for much. The Rockefeller young ladies, it is in teresting to note, are not the great heir esses they are reputed to be. They will not inherit a twentieth, probably not a fiftieth, part of the immense fortune of their father. He has already made this announcement to them, and both the young ladies heartily concur in it. They agree with their father that such an enormous fortune is absolutely useless to them, and this family arrangement is well understood in the Rockefeller circle. The millions are to go to a few great in stitutions, and it is even stated that the Croesus has in mind the endowment of a national benefaction, although this latter assertion is too indefinite to mean much. But one thing is certain. The man who marries Miss Rockefeller of her sister will get no riches with her other than the blessing of having won so attractive a young fady. David Wechsler. The Cholera Devil in Woman Form. From the London Telegram. Another form which the devil assumes in Russia pretty often of late is that of the cholera, who. of course, is a female. In the district of Barnaul the other day the peasants were determined to make short work of the "cunning one” in that odious role of his. They clubbed together and lay in wait. One day they descried the spirit of the evil one on his way to kill people with the terrible epidemic. He was riding in a tarantass—a sort of springless cart covered with canvas— disguised in the form of a female. The watchman refused to allow the tarantass to enter the village of Praslbukha. The woman inside protest ed. but had to turn back. The peasants assembled, gave chase to the tarantass, surrounded it, and called out to the "cholera devil” to disappear. The poor woman said she was human like them selves and could not vanish miraculously, but they shouted, prayed, and closed around. A few shots were heard, follow ed by a piteous moan, and then a deafen ing shout of triumph: “Pray to God, brothers, and thank him; we have killed the cholera.” The woman’s name was Kondratieff. Her corpse was not allowed in the village. A Heroic Measure—You’re not in love. Rob bie.
