MORE SPIRIT THAN MONEY AltlioamJi the Bma Drum Player Was Liberal and the Pretty Lasses Smiled, the Three Collectors Only Ruined a Dollar and Seventeen Cents. There was an altogether unwonted silence in the neighborhood of Eighth and Vine streets yesterday afternoon, and to the reporter who climbed the dingy stairway of the Salvation Army barracks, the strange stillness seemed ominous of the defeat of General Booth's anointed, and the probable triumph In some other part of the city cf the opposition "Volunteers." The barracks were closed up tightly, but from an old woman who vended newspapers In the vicinity it was learned that the "Army" was holding forth during the warm weather under canvas "at Green and the Ridge." Two stalwart policemen appeared to be holding the fort, but they were only interested listeners "from the entrance to the tent. A squad of sol diers, male and female, occupied a raised platform at the end of the tent, and their scarlet Jerseys and demonstrative form of worship seemed to fit Illy with the sultry weather of the afternoon. About a hundred persons occupied the chairs which filled the tent. The place was hardly comfortable enough to attract the curious and the scoffers, and the majority of those present were apparently sincere, and unquestionably poor.

All the noise and antics which characterize the Salvation Army were exploited yesterday, and testimony from those who had been saved alternated with the vigorous songs of the Array. A SPECIMEN CONVERT. One scarlet-garmented soldier told how two years ago he had been saved. Prior to that he had been addicted to drink and tobacco, and "had thrown thing at the Army whenever he had a chance." Now every day he said he felt it his duty to tell of the glory of salvation. "Last night, after the meeting," he went on to say, "a woman came up to me, and sez she I wish my son was like The speaker paused a moment, probably for effect, and 'V3 GERSON'S-40-42-44 NORTH U- rorisftoum be met with every precaution, you get ten dollars a week for Some Iadies chattin2- about env nlavinc the bass drum in the Salva tion Army.

mV friends, I get a week for driving an express wagon ten or twelve hours a day, and w-hat I get from the Salvation Army is better than dollars. I give them my time and my talents and as much of my money as I can spare." "Sometimes I think he gives more than he can spare," Interposed an officer. "Yes, and he'll spare more yet, said another. "Hallelujah," shouted the crowd. HE WAS FROM COLLEGE.

One young man, who claimed that he had been made a "devil" In college, professed to have been saved by the Army two years ago, and that inside of a year he expected to be preaching the Gospel to a loO million people in Africa. "You'll find the Salvation Army there." he was told. Continuing, the young man stated i that his family had entirely estranged themselves from him since he had become saved, and they had spread the report that he had become crazy. "Mav many more get that sort of Insanity," shouted the captain. "May we all be crazy for Jesus." "Hallelujah!" voiced the rank and file.

The fourth edition of Keil'8 Medical, Pharmaceutical and Dental Register-Directory, edited by George Keii and published by Lurk McFet-ridge No. 30G Chestnut street, will confirm the highly favorable impression made by the previous editions of this excellent work. It con tains a list of the medical associationa of the United States, giving the date of organization of each, the object and the names and addresses of the officers; a register of the medical department of the United States Army, of the hospital stewards, the medical corps of the navy, a similar list concerning the Marine Hospital service and quarantine service; a roster of examining surgeons of the Pension Department, a list of the medical colleges of the United States with the faculties, a list of the State medical societies, a list of the hospitals of Pennsylvania, of the county medical societies and miscellaneous institutions allied to the art of healing and medical laws of Pennsylvania. Following this valuable material, which occupies loO pages, comes a Philadelphia street list of physicians, a register of all the physicians of the State, giving names, addresses, school -of graduation, arranged alphabetically by towns.

Next is a similar arrangement of related material and directory of the physicians of New York, New Jersejr, Maryland, Delaware and the District or Columbia. The pages relating to pharmacy, pharmaceutical colleges and druggists, the dental colleges and dentists have been compiled after a similar plan and with like care. The work is so excellent and thorough that nothing seems to have been left undone, and Its value is hardly less to the general public than to the professions represented in it.

Common-Sense Standpoint "otv, If a Woman Wishes to Look Her Best Failure to Do So Brings Deal of Vnhappiness 'Man Is Sever More Inconsistent Thau When Criticising: a. Woman's Complexion.

LAINTIVE appeals are daily arriving for a few helpful points regarding seashore ugliness. This is wise, especially when looking one's very prettiest is never more ob ligatory than while off on an outing. You have worried and worked until you have collected a rare display of charming garments and there are ribbons galore, to say nothing of hats and wraps, veils and gloves, shoes and trinkets. To wear them with grace is an impossibility, unless you are supplied with sufficient common sense to take care of your complexion. Then, too, there is an inconsistency about your best seashore young man that is exasperating.

He will wheedle you into all sorts of beauty damaging sports and as a rewrard for your recklessness becomes brutally alive to your increasing crop of freckles and yowr generous coat of tan and makes no bones of showing his disapproval of the same. I can hardly blame him. Women rush in where angels fear to tread. Here is the season, not yet at its height, and every other woman, I meet is a eight to behold. If she isn't the hue of a lobster, suffering the agonies of a first burn and a quick burn, she is at the sallow stage.

When she becomes a blak-amoor she will think her whole duty done so far as the seashore complexion is concerned. This Is all nonsense. Why go about with a face so red that you are pitiful to contemplate? A friend taking a glance around her the other morning remarked the utter absence real beauty of gowning: "The women look badly dressed, every one of therrr," said she. "It is not their I answered. "If you will stop a moment to consider their complexions you will see that the fault lies In their ruined condition.

How can a woman wear a soft bit of daintiness, light in texture and tint, with grace when she Is suffering face scald or. has become spotted like a leopard and tanned like a hide?" Begin as you can hold out. -This Is my advice.

However, here is my plan, and if you haven't one of your own, I really think it would pay you to adopt it.

I burn with such caution, indeed. that I never experience any of that smarting sensation so many are vie-i tims to. My first expedition covering any length of time finds me carefully prepared to meet wind and sun. Cream, powder and a veil will do wonders. I first wash my face in cream, wash it until every pore is cleansed and softened.

When I have Tiped the cream off I take tip my uff oall'and I powder and powder. Then I dust and dust the skin.

Old mbroideies IT IS surprising, in studying old embroideries, to find how large a proportion of the work is wrought in couching stitches. In the revival and reproduction of the old work, too little attention has been given to this luxuriant form of needlework, and popular knowledge is, therefore, far more limited than it ought to: be as to the almost endless possibilities' in the use of threads which are not suitable for sewing through a fabric, Some of the ancient pieces which are accepted models and authority 'for our modern work are complete surfaces of couched silks and gold.

The eye is at first attracted by the design. Its alternations of raised and fiat work, and discovers only after close study that the entire background is also couched. In the old work the-imperishable bullion was used in quantities, and after centuries It is still untarnished. Even on the altar hangings which are much worn the gold is bright and lustrous. Feal parasol poer5 Sun Shelters Grow Each Season More Elaborate and Expensive.

TALKING of sunshades, as our English cousins dub parasols, few seasons have displayed such variety and richness as this. Time was when a parasol answered for several seasons, but now the modes change so that what was perfectly correct last season would be passe this. The handsomest ones are dreams In silks, chiffons and delicate laces, too lovely for words, and seemingly too frail for any use. Many of them are no protection whatever from the sun, being made up of thick puffings of white, black or pale tinted chiffons, embroidered or plain. With regard to the plain silks, chine has the preference by far, and many pretty patterns are shown.

It may be interesting to know that contrary to the usual practioe, the pattern of this silk Is printed oa the weft before it is woven, thus giving the curious blurred effect to the flowers. Black and white stripes and, indeed, all designs in black and white, have a good sale, while checks and tartans take wonderfully well. Shot silks hold their popularity well with the million, and among these there are many marked improvements, a chameleon shot silk in three colors instead of two being the latest. A striking feature of the elaborata parasol is the expensive linings. We are going back to the old days for ideas, and whatever our forefathers may have lacked in morals they certainly had in taste.

These new linings are of puffed chiffon and delicate laces. A new design shows a cover of accordion pleated silk, edged with expensive lace, and lined throughout with tiny frillings of chiffon. An entirely new design when opened resembles an Indian pagoda, the ends being turned up. First-class milliners are employed upon these elaborate affairs, many of them taking an entire day to make, so that the prices, while they seem large, are not really so when one considers the time and the cost of material. The latest thing in knobs is petrified wood, dyed with various chemicals, one piece Containing as many as twelve different shades.

Bright scarlet is the most popular shade in parasols, while a peculiar brilliant emerald green is gaining steadily in favor. 7 Tu, 1 1 OT C.

Women i are so surfeited -with both dur- 1 ing the long winter that they are pushed to one side as long as possible. Still they must receive a cer- tain amount of attention, for there will be times when both are necessary. Of course, fewer house gowns are needed for the summer than for the winter; one -is out more, and even when at home, the shirt waist is so cool and comfortable it is apt to hi retained, even against one's artistic principles. There is some comfort in choosing one's house gowns to know that they may be made of as sheer stuff as can be found. Any of tfle dainty Dresden designs in organdie may be chosen, or the plain tints, to be half hidden in a wealth of lace and ribbons.

A pretty fashion for house wear is the white skirt of barred pique or coarsely woven duck, worn with a Jaunty little matinee coat cf some pale tinted silk, half smothered in a huge lace collarette.

"Heraldry in America" may appear to many an unpromising subject, but Eugene Zieber has much to say in exposition, defense and praise of it.

Rhoda Gale writes of "Immigration Evils," and sustains her argument by figures and facts rather than declamation. "The Federation of Australia," as lately proposed, Is a topic just now much agitating our cousins at the antipodes, but-little understood here. Owen Hall tells about It all that an American needs to know at present. Emil Bally Stone returns to her favorite theme in "the Woman Question in the Middle Ages," and shows that, far from being wholly of our time.

NOTES ON NEW PUBLICATIONS Some Good Novels and Stories Mr. Parker's "The Seats of the Miglitr." "A Woman of That Description," by Minna Thomas Antrim, is a story of Philadelphia people and Cape May in which figure several misunderstood beauties, the chief of these being a Miss Atherton, who has many admirers and apparently several lovers.

There is a mystery and talk about her. It is enough to say that events show that she is no sinner. We will not spoil the story lor the reader by telling the plot. One of the chapters describes the arrival of the Pen and Pencil Club, here called the Steel and Lead Club, at Cape May, and the idealized personalities of a number of Philadelphia newspaper men, who are not difficult of identification, appear in the story, which all of them will wish to read in order to see how they look in fiction. The story is likely to pique local curiosity and to be the subject of comment.

Macmillan New York, publish "An Escape From the Tower," a story of the Jacobite rising of 1715, by Emma Marshall, author of "The Master of the Musicians." Henry Holt New York, publish "The Quicksands of Pactolus," a novel by Horace Annesley Vachell, describing California life and illustrating the effects upon society of the rapid accumulation of wealth. "Green Gates," by Katharine Majy Cheever Meredith (Johanna Staats), author' of "Drumsticks," is published by D. Appleton New York. Miss Tony Jones returns from Europe as the story opens. She has matured.

She brings bak a slender physique, full red lips and a voluptuous bosom. She had always walked with a crutch, but foreign doctors had enabled her to walk with a cane. James Oldfield, a bachelor, falls in love with her elfish personality and so does Thaddeus Wa-terhouse Hicks. Miss Tony does not love Hicks, but she becomes engaged to him. One day Mr.

Oldfield accidentally overhears Tony in the next room asking her fiance what he would do if she should disappear. There is dancing going on on the floor below. Miss Tony sends Hicks after something and Oldfield thinks it is time for him to look after her. She limps down a dark winding staircase. Old-field follows and startles her when his presence becomes known.

At the head of a line of cabs in front of the house is a cab with one light. Tony is forced to tell him and in that is a Frenchman who has come over the water after Tony and she is going to throw respectability away and elope with him. Oldfield permits a brief farewell Interview in the cab. He saves the girl's reputation. He is a fine fellow, entirely too fine a fellow for Tbny, who commits suicide.

Gilbert Parker's novel. "The Seats of the Mighty," the serial which appeared in the Atlantic Monthly, is published in book form by D. Apple-ton New York. It is an historical novel of the French and Indian war. The hero, Robert Moray, a native of England, who settles in Virginia and becomes acquainted with Mr.

Washington, is captured by the French. He has some papers belonging to a great French lady. The mistress of the French King desires possession of these. Moray will not give them up. He is thrown into a Canadian dungeon.

His hair turns white. He is befriended by a daughter of a chevalier, and by his French guard and a French barber. Doltaire, the illegitimate son of a French king, who pursues the maiden loved by Moray, saves the Englishman from death, although they are national and personal foes. Twice Moray escapes. The French Catholic girl is married to him in his dungeon by a Boston Protestant minister.

There are scandals about the Governor, Bigot. Montcalm appears a slight shadow In the background. There are the plots of the period. A difficult story to tell well. As to the form of It there is an excess of that method which advances a narrative by such devices as journals, recitatives, etc.

Something of this kind is relied upon too frequently to bring the story up. to date. Nevertheless, interest is developed and held, and the attempt to contimie romance and history if it has not produced a great novel has at least resulted In one which comes as near to being great as any now being wrilten by either English or American authors. The falling short of the highest attainment does not exceed that of Mr. Hardy or Mr.

Black or Dr. Doyle or the author of The Manx stories. "Checked Through. Missing Trunk No. 175S0," a story of New York city, life by Richard Henry Savage! is pub- i lished by Rand, McNally New: York.
