MATERIALS and COLORS
WHAT PARIS WOMEN WILL WEAR FOR
SPRING AND WHAT THEY ARE
WEARING NOW.
OF THE materials and colors that
are being shown even this early
for spring wear are many novel-
ties. The producers of the materials
and the designers of fashions promise
us a brilliant spring season, and the
©reparations that are to be seen so far
are certainly promising.
In colors the shades most admired
anc most thought of by those who have
;een them are the gra\s, ranging from
very dark to almost white; also tinges
of peach and almond blossoms, pale
<rreen resembling that of the lime tree
. af and several peculiar shades of
reddish pink, wavering between shrimp
and prawn and apricot and tomato.
"Pain brule" (burnt bread) is a new
.me most fashionable color, possessing
i range of at least half a dozen shades,
from a reddish brown to a tinge almost
black.
Linnet gray is also a new color much
with white, either in satin, velvet or
terry.
One of the latest novelties to be seen
in the costumes of the day is a fad for
combining two, or even more, styles of
figure on the same textile. One can see
on a taffeta foundation an inch broad
stripe of corded silk, and then on these
stripes will be spots in a different color,
or a small design in satin or velvet-.
Still another pretty novelty is the
black taffeta with small floral designs
in brilliant colors. This is a step in the
effort to restore black to favor, but the
undesirable somber effect is relieved by
the brilliant coloring of the flowers.
For evening wear at the present time
black net forms the popular foundation
for many an extremely rich toilette.
These textiles are treated in novel fash-
ion, having an all-over design in black
spangles, put on very thickly and run-
ning the full length of the piece, ren-

: u vogue, the latter being generally
brightened up by some bright touch of
pink or red in the shape of facings or
appliqued bands.
Of the spring materials it can be seen
now what will be favored to a great ex-
tvnt. Among these fancy fabrics will
lie prominent. Among the first will be
soft textiles in all wool and wool and
silk. Fancy crepons and figured mous-
seline de laine, mingled with silk both
in the shape and in stripes or a pretty
figure.
For tailor-made costumes there will
be all-wool piece dyed fabrics in light-
weights, as well as novelties in "fil a fil"
sTec-ts. Cut plaids, which I hear are to
be a feature of the season in America,
will be but little worn in Europe, or at
-east in Paris. While the Paris woman
"•l-E GHtEN VELVET AND BROADCLOTH.
•s always fancied the brigthest of
J''yrs obtainable, her tastes have never
* to plaids to any great extent.
<:'re sorue the fashions that
j 0'line within a few more weeks.
u • loi some of the materials we saw
:lt S;"'°I'S a month ago, which may
- s*-'en made up at the present time.
• these are many novelties in
=''ks, w1 ' *
and
i'eh show an unusual-original-
nrr , i attractiveness. In these the
\ s coniposed of soft, prettj*
^ra- ar)d brown, rather light
of Vi '-"rk' In these, running the length
^■—^ial, are stripes half an inch
iji un'' about three inches apart, of
' 8Te^n, yellow and red, mingled
dering the whole dress one mass of
spangles.
One of these evening toilettes was a
beautiful gown of black net over white
surah, trimmed with spangles in black
and silver, real black lace and narrow-
black velvet ribbon. The front of this
gown was made with a tunic effect and
covered with the spangles down each
side of the front and around the bot-
tom, revealing the under petticoat of
white silk that was almost entirely cov-
ered with small ruffles of the black lace,
headed with black velvet ribbon. It
had a low-cut decollete, with a
small puffing of white and Mack vel-
vet to edge the decollete, and for straps
over the shoulder. It had a long, tight-
fitting sleeve of the black net trimmed
with the spangles, and were unlined. A
verj- narrow girdle of black velvet.
Another elaborate evening gown that
formed a striking contrast to the one
of black net over white was of mother-
of-pearl spangles on a fine white net
over black silk. The underslip of the
black silk is made perfectly plain, with
the exception of an accordion plaiting
around the bottom. The fine white silk
net with the mother-of-pearl spangles
in polka dots and true levers' knots
completely covering it with a very elab-
orate border about 12 inches deep
around the bottom. This hung in
graceful folds at the back and a great
amount of fullness below the knees. A
round decollete with a rather full front,
of the net brought in a double cascade
directly in front of the low decollete.
A very small sleeve with a full ruehing
falling over the hand, and a small lace
cap from the shoulders over the top of
the sleeves.
A pretty afternoon gown that 1 saw a
few days ago was made with an under
petticoat of fine corded velvet of a Nile
green. The tunic overskirt was of Nile
green broadcloth, with a shallow scal-
lop in front and two deep scallops in
the back. This has three rows of
stitching around it. The bodice fitted
the figure to perfection and was made
crosswise of the Nile green corded vel-
vet, drawn with a little fullness in the
front and fastened with a large paste
buckle. A high stock, and pointed vest
of cream guipuve lace. The sleeves were
perfectly plain, with a long, rounded ef-
fect falling over the hands.
A pretty reception gown that I saw
recently was of white and black broad-
cloth, made with a plain underpett icoat
of white broadcloth with a very narrow-
applique of black velvet around the
boitom. Over this fell a tunic of black
broadcloth with three pipings of the
w hite broadcloth in a deep vandyke ef-
fect. A round bodice with yoke and
the top of the sleeves of white broad-
cloth, with the applique of black vel-
vet. The round bodice had deep van-
dykes falling below the waist of the
black broadcloth, edged with a piping
of the white. The sleeves were cut
with Vandykes and falling over the
hand. A very high pointed collar of
the white broadcloth with the applique
of black velvet on. This was fastened
down the back with small black velvet
buttons. SADIE MERRITT.
"CUBA FOR CUBANS!"
Juan Gualberto Gomez, a Son of
Slaves, the Man of tbe Hour.
A Great Demonstration In 111* Honor
in IIavaim-Thou«andfi In the
Parade — Object Lesson for
Americans—In America.
New York City.—Last year I had the
pleasure of announcing the arrival in
New York of the well known Cuban
patriot, journalist and agitator, Juan
Gualberto Gomez. At the time I
spoke also of his labors, trials and
triumphs in the thorny field of poli-
tics and endeavored to introduce him
to 'intelligent readers who would
know what the Negro is doing not
only in the United States, but in the
other parts of the world. It is well,
1
JUAN GUALBERTO GOMEZ,
at times, to look to our neighbors for
inspiration, or to find out that we
should be about and doing.
The Cuban Negro has his problems
to solve; and through the wise leader-
ship of men like Gomez, Miguel Gaul-
ba, Media Arango, Tiburcio Aguirre,
Enrique Cos, Lazaro Galvez, Emilio
1 Manas, Faeundo Ca.rrillo, Campos
Marquetti, Joaquin Gran ados and a
host of others too numerous to men-
tion, he will show to the world that
the Cuban Negro knows now to think,
as well as he knows how to fight the
battles of freedom.
Gomez, the patriot and journalist, is
playing a new role in Cuban politics.
His ambition at present is that of
uniting in a grand, powerful organi-
zation, all the different elements that
love Cuba and are wise enough to
know that she will never be a power-
ful, independent state, glowing in all
her beauteous splendor, until she
shows a united front in a united
party, to those who would sell and to
those who would buy her liberty for
a few pieces of gold. Gomez is a sep-
aratist of the radical type. "Cuba
for the Cubans" is his shibboleth, and
"Independence or Death" his motto.
A prison or a palace is alike to him
when he thinks of Cuba, her untold
woes, her suffering's and the 400,000
mairtyrs that have died in and out of
battle, that 'she may live!
YVihen he thinks of what Cuba has
lost in the deaths of Marti, Maceo,
Crombet, Sanchez, Castillo, Ananguen,
Atoneada and many other of her lead-
ers, when he counts the thousands of
motherless and fatherless children left
after the "reconcentration," "Death,"
he says, "would be welcome indeed,
rather than dishonor." Gomez has
had his narrow escapes from death,
but now it seems that no more bullets
shall fly through the 'air that sur-
rounds him.
On the eve of his birthday, July 11,
sl great reception and fete was held in
Gomez's honor. There is nothing so
pleasant as to see this son of slaves—
as he calls 'himself—made the recipi-
ent of such an ovation, the outburst
of popular enthusiasm. La Discission,
one of the best Cuban papers, has
more than four columns relative to
Gomez's reception. The free use of
Pay ret theater was tendered by its
owner.- There the reception took
place. The number of persons that
took part in the parade is said to have
been from ten to twenty thousand and
it is estimated that about 25,000
viewed the parade. Different clubs,
unions, societies, committees, lyee-
ums, etc., formed the procession.
Among those who paid their respects
to Mr. Gomez at his home. 22 Perse-
verancia street, we find such familiar
names as Dr. Eusebio Hernandez,
Mendez Capote. Despaigne Estramps,
Menoeal, Manuel Sanguily, Salvador
Cisneros (who was the first president
during this late war). Generals La-
cret, Molinet. Colonels Suarez, Portila,
Coronado, Milan es, Dubois and Dr.
Sardixias. Time nor space will allow
me to describe the beauty, the aspect
of the theater with its tapestry, flags,
bunting, palms, pictures of heroes and
more than 6.000 cheering souls. Suf-
fice it to know that according to La
Discusion: "Never the equal of this
fete has been seen in Havana, nor a
theater so artistically adorned."
Med in Arango. a well known and •
popular orator, made a "short but well
inspired speech on the merits and vir-
tues of Juan Gualberto Gomez and
his services to the country." He con-
gratulated 'himself for seeing there
united without distinction of class or
race, 'all the elements that compose
the Cuban people, and ended by mak-
ing a call to union and concord, so as
to save the ideals of our people and
their desire, to be free and indepen-
dent." "Mr. Mediin Arango." says
La Discusion, "was justly applauded
and huzzaed."
The next orator was Dr. Eusebio
Hernandez, who said in part: "We
want to establish a democratic repub-
lic in Cuba and he who doubts that
this is possible, let him come to Pay-
ret to-night and he will be convinced
of his error. All people who con-
quer their liberty pass through diffi-
cult periods. The Cubans have gen-
erousiy forgotten their grievances
and open 'their arms to all. We owe
gratitude to the intervening govern-
ment. If we urite we can demand
immediate independence from the
Washington government. There is
no other road but union and concord.
It is necessary that the future cordial
republic be from below upwards, for
tne hour is at hand when the humble
shall rule." Dr. Hernandez was ap-
plauded, ihuzaaed and huzzaed in good
old Cuban fashion.
'then came Mr. Gomez's ovation.
When he made his appearance we are
told that he, a son of slaves, as he re-
fers to himself, "was saluted with a
continued and thundering ovation
that cannot be described." I will not
try to follow closely the notes that I
have of Mr. Gomez's speech. He feels
himself "dying of He says that
he has never done otherwise t'nan to
fulfill his duties according to his con-
science and to his convictions. In
the enterprise he is only a. soldier
w«no 'has been marked a little above
others by the disasters of the cam-
paign. Going back to his old office
of propagator, he will make use of
this fete to say that only the union
and concord of all can save us. It is
necessary to cast aside the evil pas-
sions. In the theater he sees repre-
sentatives of all the people of Cuba.
He, humble descendant of slaves, sits
in this fete a.t the right hand of Mar-
quis Santa Lucia, last president of
the republic of ls<j8 and first of that
of 1895; and Sir Med in Arango is next
to Gen. Lacret and Oapt. Generoso
Campos next to Dr. Hernandez. Nejt
to dames white as milk he, full of joy,
sees those of black hue. "If we al-
ways unite in this manner, the des-
tinies of Cuba will be achieved." "We
are adults," he says. "This country
is ours and we want it for ourselves
alone. When the joint resolution
is fulfilled lie will not be less vocifer-
ous in shouting, "Hurrah for the Uni-
ted States of Am-rica."
La Discusion ■says that the orator
finished his discourse "with a beauti-
ful period, ratifying as the supreme
ideal of tihe Cubar people, that which
was the programi le of the liberating
revolution, dispos d always to fulfill
it, and that is summed up by this
only phrase: 'Independece or Death.' "
A prolonged ovation followed, after
which the orator was embraced with
effusion by many persons.
This fete, giving honor and lustre to
a colored man (an Afro-Cuban) in
spite of his color, is well merited, for
Mr. Gomez has been a patriot first
and a Cuban always. Some of our
southern colonels and. prejudiced cop-
perheads should have been at Payret
theater on the 11th inst., so that they
may have seen a-•*!».*'ntry, not far from
theirs, made by God's omnipotent
hands, where four races, after a
sanguinary war, are living in peace
and harmony and where "skins miay
differ, but affection dwells in black
and white the same."

HIS COLORED WIFE.
Stenographer Wolfe's Sensational
Answer to a Suit for Support.
An Kiuploye of the Civil Service Com-
mission Charges His Wile with
Immorality, with Cruelly Beat-
ins Him, Etc.—Revelation
as to Her Antece-
dents, Etc.
Washington, D. C.—Clement B.
Wolf, the stenographer in the employ
of the civil service commission who is
being sued for maintenance and sup-
port by his wife, Nellie J. Wolfe, yes-
terday made answer to the charges
contained in her petition. His reply
is a lengthy one, made through hi3
attorney, W. Preston Williams, and
coaitains some remarkable aecouiifts
of their marital life which are not
brought out in the wife's bill. The
oouple have two children, and t>is j
fact and others concerning their mar- j
riage as to the time and place are ad-
mitted by the defendant. He then
goes on to relate a considerable num.- i
* I
ber of abuses which he claims his wife j
has heaped upon him for a long time, j
and makes charges concerning her j
conduct and the character ia.nd stand- j
ing of her family. Among other 1
things, Mr. Wolfe makes the some- I
what astounding announcement that j
lie discovered some time after his I
marriage that his wife was of Negro '
blood, and that her grandfather was j
a full-blooded Negro. To substanti- 1
ate his statement regarding Mrs. j
Wolfe's colored ancestry, the defend- j
ant files a copy of a letter from his !
mother-in-law to his wife which prac- !
tically admits the truth of it.
Mr. Wolfe declares that about two !
years after their marriage his wife i
oegan a systematic and habit ual course j
of illtreatment toward him, slight- j
ing and humiliating him in every j
'manner possible, and using toward
#liim the most coa.rse and profane lan- j
guiage. In addition, he says that sdie j
had publicly threatened his life and
assaulted him without cause, save that
aroused by an ungovernable temper.
KNOCKED DOWN AND WALKED
ON.
Upon one occasion last winter, while
they were living at 330 E street north-
east, he relates, Mrs. Wolfe struck him
in the presence of a guest, knocked
him down upon the floor, and then
kicked and stamped upon him with
•her feet and rained blow after blow
upon him in the most vicious and re-
lentless -manner, at the same time
cursing and abusing- him, and-declar-
ing- tihat if she could not drive him to
suicide -she would herself kill him.
Wolfe says that he is a hard-working
man of delicate physique, and 'that
upon many occasions, when 'he has
been ill, s' e has kicked him out of
bed and compelled him to sit up all
night in the kitchen.
The defendant further declares that
his wife endeavors by threats and at-
tacks of violence upon him to compel
him to sign an agreement to give her
$40 a month, and permit her without
molestation to commit acts in viola-
tion of her marital vows. He declares
■that she desired this agreement for
■one reason, in order that she might
become housekeeper for a millionaire
bachelor who would give her plenty
o-f money and diamonds. All of these
attacks upon him, Mr. Wolfe says, he
endured without retaliation in a
single instance out of regard for his
children and in the hope that his wife
might relent and permit them to live
in peace. The charge which Air. Wolfe
makes concerning the Negro antece-
dents is as follows:
BE BLAMES BER ANCESTORS.
That defendant cannot account for
the extraon lit vary actions and manner i
of complainant, as it is entirely incon-
sistent with the conduct and manner ,
that obtains among decent and respec-
table people, and cannot be account- j
ed for in any other way unless it be ;
on account of bad blood which she ,
inherits from !:er ancestors, and de- .
fendant avers and charges the truthj
to be that the grandmother of com- j
plainant deserted her husband, David |
Baird, and took uip with a Negro
man with whom she. lived and co- !
habited for some years having by him !
a large family of children; that Mrs.
Cora Baird Horton, the mother of the
complainant, and who is a half-breed, j
as fully appears by letters tiled here-
with, was one of the children which
sprang from this intercourse. That |
defendant had no knowledge of the i
said facts that -his mother-in-law was I
a half-breed and the offspring of a
Negro, but believed that lie was I
marrving into a good and honest fam- j
ily. and that his mother-in-law as j
well as his wife were highly respect-
able and good people, but since the ;
marriage defendant, has not only dis-
covered that his mother-in-law is of j
Negro blood. V:t, he has also discov- ;
ered that she deserted her second hus- !
band, Charles E. Cole, on the 4th day
of August, 18S3.
In consequence of this and the repu-
tation of the family, Mr. Wolfe states
that he forbade his wife to permit
their children to have any intercourse
or communication with her relatives, i
and informed her that his mother-in- |
law must never enter their house. The j
defendant charges his wife with im-
morality, and names a Dr. Lothrop as
co-respondent. He also charges other
co-respondents, whose names are un-
known to him.
WENT AWAY WITHOUT PERMIS-
SION.
Other remarkable charges concern-1
ing Mrs. Wolfe's conduct are also
made. He says that she would never
ask his permission to go out at night, ;
but went wherever she saw fit. and al- j
most every night would remain until
late hours, and, upon returning,
would inform him that she -had been
to the theater with a gentleman or
to a wine supper, and boasted of her
immorality.
In addition the husband asserts that
his wife attempted a system of black-
mail against a certain lady, saying
that unless this lady gave her money j
and diamonds, she would blast and
ruin the reputation of her two little
daughters, and bring them into dis-
grace. This lady is the mother of a
little girl whom Mrs. Wolfe says in
-her bill alienated the affections of her
'husband. The two girls referred to
are mere children, and are being
"trainied for prorfesisional careers as
actresses. Mr. Wolfe declares that
in so far as she has been able to do
so, his wife has endeavored to blacken
the reputations of this lady and her
two daughters. Mr. Wolfe states his
belief 'to be that his wife would be
glad of his death; that she has re-
peatedly- before witnesses declared
that she did not love him, and told of
her infidelity. He says that she has
made his life a "hell upon earth;"
that she has involved him burden-
some debts by extravagance; that she
is vicious and immoral, and unfit to
have the custody of their children.
On these grounds and many others
which he sets forth, Mr. Wolfe asks
that her petition be dismissed.

The \Vabi»h Passenger Kate Case.
Lansing, Mich., Jan. 12.—The su-
preme court has granted a wrrit of
certiorari bringing to the court for
review the Wabash passenger rate
case, which was recently decided by
the Detroit circuit court, in the com-
pany's favor. The Wabash had been
ordered by the state railroad commis-
sioner to reduce fares from 3 to 2'/2
cents per mile, on the ground that its
report of the previous year's business
showed its passenger earnings to have
reached the figure under which the
lesser rate was required. The com-
pany's claim, upheld by the lower
court, is -that its express and mail re-
ceipts shou'i not be considered part
of its passenger earnings.
fanner Roasts Cullom.
Chicago, Jan. 12.—The Tribune
prints a long interview with Gov. Tan-
ner in which the governor makes a
bitter personal attack upon Senator
Cullom. Gov. Tanner declares that he
is not a candidate for the senate or
any other political office, but that he
is strongly opposed to the return of
Senator Cullom to the senate. He de-
clares the senator has never been
known to do anything of advantage
to republican politics and that he has
betrayed all those who ever befriended
him. Tanner -says that Cullom has
never kept faith politically with any-
body when it was to his interest to do
otherwise.
Naval Officer Suicides.
Washington, Jan. 12.—The following

Commander E. E. Greene committed
suicide Wednesday evening. Arrange-
ments liavo been made for burial
ashore. A board is ordered to exam-
ine the circumstances of the case and
report." The officer's friends at the
department are at a loss to account
for the suicide. His record was ex-
cellent and he had no known bad hab-
its.
