Augusta Maria Macesco has arriver in New York as a second cabin passen- ger on the French steamer Bourgogne. She was accompanied by a woman. The pair were detained at Ellis Island tll the board of inquiry could ascertain whether they were proper persons to admit into this country. Mme. Macesco says she is the niece of the late A. T. Stewart, and that she is the sole heir to all his estate. Her object in coming to New York is to contest the will, which will be done as soon as possible. Mme. Macesco had but $20 when she ar- rived. She showed the authorities letters addressed to prominent persons, a certifi- cate of her birth, which was stamped by the American consul in Paris as authentic, and various newspaper clippings which re- lated to the Stewart will contest and the setitement of the estate. These papers ced the board of inquiry that she Was not @ pauper and they permitted her to enter the country.

On the At.antic s tenis ide fourteen mills arc her in operation or in the course of con tructicn.

The consul maker no secret of the great difficul- ties and hardships that Hie in the path of the American miner, and says that wi he does not advise people either to pur- chage mining s.ock or rish to Nicaragua in seatch of gold, he does believe that a tive agent might sell considerable mining ma- chinery and supplies. —SEE Pretty Morning Gowns of Kitchen Toweling. From Harper's Taazar. The grass cloths, linens, Russian cras’ and kitchen toweling are all very much the rage for morning gowns. The grass cloths are made elaborate enough to be worn a: garden parties, and are extremely pretty gowns. They also look best made up ove silk; that is, with the silk lin:ng; but more than one has been turned out lately with the under petticoat of fine sateen. These gowns are not cheap. The material iiser does not cost much, but again it is the ac- cessor.es which make the expenses mouui up. One gown of grass linen, sent hom: the other day from one of ihe seading dres- makers, had a tiny polka dot of heiuotro; rhe skirt, which was Very fuil, had a ruche headed with quilled hehotrope ‘satin ribbon rhe waist, wh.ch was cut round, had a ueep yoke collar of open-work batiste, tineu with white satin, from wich, front ana back, went three narrow strps of opeu- work embroidery, also ined with the whit: saun, which extended a short distance be .ow the belt. The belt, however, was pass ed over them and kept’ them down in piace. The belt was of fancy Dresden ribbon o: heliotrope and white, and inside the high standing collar was a ruche of heliotroy chiffon. The skirt was lined throughou: w.th a transparent lawn, the exact shad vf the grass cloth, and there was a dainis petticoat of heliotrope silk made with man; pinked ruffles. The Russian crash and kitchen toweling ure as yet not used for any other pury than the jackets and skirts. These cai nad ready made, and the swell tailors are turning them out by the dozens. The tail- ors prices ar> about five times in excess of the prices asked in the shops, and for once it can truthfulty be said that the dif- ference is not worth paying. The little short jacket with the wide, much-gored skirt, is the only pgttern, coe College Bred Waitresses. From the New Orleans Picayune. ‘The independence of the American col- lege girl is a constant source of surprise to foreigners. The fact that a girl who 1s cullivating her mind is not above exer- cising her body in the performance oi menial duties is something incomprehcn- sible to the aristocrat on the other side. It is possible that these very aristocrats have been served to ham and eggs or some less vulgar food by some ambitious Amei can girl who puts her pride in her pocket until she gets an education t she thinks is worth being proud of. Every summer the hotels along the St. Lawrence number several young womeit among their wai- tresses who are freshmen or sophomores in some neighboring college. The girls look wpon the venture as a sori of outing, aud though the work is often very arduous ani at times humiliating, most of them manage to get a pretty gcod time out of ft, and enough money to pay their expenses for the coming term. Already the girls ure beginning to make engagements with hotel proprietors at the summer resorts, and woe to the dashing young blade that winketh unwisely and indiscriminately at the dam- sel who brings him his dessert, for who knows that she may belong to the very same fraternity with his own sister or his best girl? ALLEGED KNOCK-OUT DROPS. Another Suspected Case of This Kind im Court. Mounted Policeman Rodgers of the ninth Precinct errested Patrick Dannaher, an East Waskington young man, yesterday, and now it is charged that he administered “knock-out” grops to Charles F. Oliver and then robbed him. Mr. Oliver is a prosper- ous young farmer, whose home ts in Fair- fax county, Va., near Great Falls. Yester- day morning he came to the city with $8 and went in search of the bazaar, as he wanted to buy a light horse and wagon. When he reached the corner of Pennsylva- nia avenue and 13th street he saw three young men, of whom he inquired the way soi ihe place where horses and vehicles are sold. “I'll go with you and show you where the bazaar is,” was what an apparently oblig- ing member of the trio said, and the Vir- ginian was only too anxious to accept his offer. Getting in the bugey, the alleged “knock-out” man went with him to the bazaar, and when he had failed to get what he wanted, the two men went to a saloon, where they got a drink of whisky. Then they went to Schiegel’s stables, and there the countryman made an offer for a team, but his offer was not accepted. Then they went and got one more drink, and further the countryman’s recollections fai! him. It was about 3 o'clock in the afternoon when two ladies on the Bladensburg road saw a man in a buggy throw another man to the roadside and leave him, and they in- formed the officer. The man who was thrown out proved to be Oliver, while the man who remained in the vehicle was Dannaher. A few minutes after the officer had received the information he met Dan- naher, who was in the buggy. Upon being questioned, he denied that he had had a companion in the buggy with him. But the officer wouid not take his word for it, and so he insisted on returning toward the city and making a search. In a ravine a short distance beyond Mount Olivet cemetery t young countryman was found. He was penniless and unconscious, and in this con- dition he was lifted to the buggy and dr: en to the ninth police station. On the way to the station Dannaher was busily en- gaged changing money from one pocket to another, and the officer saw him put a dol- lar bill in Oliver's pocket. When the sta- tion was reached the officer found that Dannaher had $43.15 in his pockets. The baggy in which he had been found had been hired by Oliver in Georgetown. h the countryman was uncon- scious and apparently in a scrious condi- tion, he was locked up in a police cell in- stead of being sent to the hospital for treatment, and was kept in the cell until he had regained consciousness and was able to tell of his experience earlier in the day. Then he was released. when he reached the Po- e Court to give evidence against Danna- her he was still suffering from the effects of yesterday's treatment and could remem- ber nothing more of his experience than already stated. A charge of larceny from the person was filed ageinet Dannaher, and Oliver was ready to give evidence against him, but Lawyer Moss, his counsel, was not ready for trial, and the case was con- tinued. ——_—_——-—_ REPUBLICAN CONVENTIONS.

The mirvel of good packing, packing of clothes, I mean, is that it is so simple, when you see for the first time a profes- stonal French packer put up your best eowas you feel sure you will come to your sourney’s end without a rag to wear. He puts three times as many things in the amé space as you would. Of course, any one can pack well enough if she has the syo—a seperate box tor every waist, a tray for every skirt. Then, too, some goods wiinkie so badly that no care can avert velastrophe; they come to grief even in the ancs of a French maid at home. Tes: everything you buy from this point of view. Wath material not given over vo evil you sun leara to pack so that your clothes won't tell the Laie of their prison house. The cardinal point is to wrap up every uelicate garment separately: of course, it should be folded smoothly, and to teach w to fold clothes in print is not easy. Any good dressmaker, however, can give you points on that, and the wrapping is the more important thing. Pin towels or sheets of tissue paper aboul your garment, bu: xemember that newspapers are what you should fold between exch layer of pretty things in the trunk. Nothing else is so goo —it is so unyteldirg that wrinkles and pro- tuberances cannot make themselves fel! through it to mark the fabrics beneath them any more then if you used sheet fron It is useless to try to arrange heavy things at the bottom, Nght on top; the bagga; smashers know no top and no bottom: just concentraie yourself on kceping a smooth, even surface for each successive layer. Bows and sleeves can be siuffed out rewspapers better than anythi else. Be sure that your wrappings are pinned firmly so that there will be no coming undone they are your buiwarks. In packi: breakable articles it is as- tonishing h6w many pecple will jam them down in corners and sides, where they get the full force of every concussion against the unyielding walls. Tie on your corks well with bits of rag and twine and pot your bottles near the middle of a eompari- ment and you may carry ink and shoe dressing in safety around the world. In packing such things as delicate hais, bennets and faney waists of such a frou. frou nature that no pressure can be al- lowed on them it is still better to fill up ihe empty space of the boxes allotted them with lightly twisted sheets of tissue paper than to give them a chance to move: and, with all due respect to the best packing in the world, it is still well to unpack as svon as you can. Afflicted Car Conductors. From the Baltimore Sun. A glance at the eyes of many of the street car conductors shows that something is the matter. The eyes are red about the edges of the lids and are sometimes in- flamed. One of the conductors sai “The trouble is limited to conductors of open cars and is caused by the long brass handles at the end of each row of seats, which a con- ductor is compelled to grasp frequently as he walks along the footboard. After a time the perspiration from tho hand acts on the brass and the hand becorses coated with verdigris. If the conductor puts his hand to his face he is apt to get the verdl- gris in his eyes. This causes inflammation and the trouble grows worse if it fs not promptly attended to.” Woodward Lothrop, 1oth, 11th and F Sts. N. W.
