JEFFERSON'S BIBLE IN
NATIONAL MUSEUM
From the St. Louis G-ldbe-Democra*.
Through the diligent search of Represen
tative Lacey of Iowa what is known as the
•‘Jefferson Bible” has been brought to light.
This volume was complied by Thomas Jef
ferson, and it contains the moral doctrines
of Christ, the portions of the Scripture of
0 vuperpatura! nature being omitted. So
thoroughly did Jefferson get into this work
ti .,iun it was completed the moral doc
trines of the Saviour were posited in a blank
bo« k in paiallei columns, being in the
Greek, Latin, French and English lan
guages.
This interesting book is now In an iron
safe at the National Museum and is under
iocx .mu 1 he story of this precious
book is best told in the words of Judge
Lacey, as follows:
“There is a little volume of 164 pages In
the library of the National Museum, bound
In red morocco by a Richmond bookbinder,
which Is one of the curious things in Wash
ington that is rarely seen. Thomas Jeffer
son’s library was purchased by the govern
ment, and is now contained In the splendid
Congressional library. Spme time ago, in
giving the Jefferson collection a careful
examination, I found that the ‘Jefferson
Bible,’ as it lb sometimes called, was not
there. No one could tell me where it was
until I asked A. R. Spofford. who told me
it was in the National Museum Library. It
appears that the volume was not included
In the sale of Mr. Jefferson’s library, but
was afterwards purchased for 1400 from
Miss Randolph.
“The book is a duodecimo volume o*
eighty-two double pages, or 164 pages,
though Mr. Jefferson has paged only the
left-hand page. On the left hand he has
pasted the clippings in two columns, first
in Greek and then in Latin. On the right
hand he has put the French version first
and the English version in the last column
So the whole is neatly pasted in four finely
printed columns, in Greek, Latin, French
and English. There are marginal notes in
Jefferson's own handwriting, with a table
In front giving the pages and citing the
chapters and verses from which the clip
pings are taken.
“He has omitted everything of a miracu
lous nature, and has confimd his clippings !
to the pure‘teachings of the man Jesus. He
teas clipped from all the gospels, using the
verses which make the clearest statement
where the texts are praclicaly the same,
but he inserts texts from all of them, so
as to Include the entire teachings of the
Bavlour. The result is unique. In a clear,
lucid form, apart from all surroundings of
the supernatural, appear the words and
moral teachings of the Sou of Man.

THE CLOTH SHITS
OF EARLY FULL
Cashmere Is the Style Again, and
So Are All the Many Cloths
With Satin Faces.
Paris, France.—The cloth suits of early
fall are marvellously pretty. When the Ex
position turned from a general exhibit into
a dress parade the modistes suddenly
sprang to their needles, and marvels were
quickly turned out in the dress-making
line. Such lovely gowns never were seen
as appeared here in the early part of Sep
tember.
The new dress materials from which
these gowns were evolved were of a fine
grade of cloth resembling nothing as much
as cashmere. It was not close enough for
ladies’ cloth and by no means solid enough
for broadcloth. It was called by different
names in the shops, but you recognized it 1
after all as cashmere, and nothing else.
There is a lovely new shade of blue
which is called “tendre,” and there is an
other which is musicians’ blue; the for
mer is as pale as the latter is deep; the
laid aside for her autumn costume.
Silk Is not greatly used for street dresses
just at this moment—nothing as It was In
the spring. A smart cloth gown of bronze
ladles' cloth, slightly shaded to green,
looked not unlike silk. All the materials
have the silk finish, and you are sometimes
deceived by them.
This gown, which was of very light
weight ladies' cloth, was trimmed with
tucklngs of the same goods. Tucks no
larger than cgrds began at the belt line
and extended to the foot of the gown, or
very nearly to the 'foot. When about eight
Inches from the floor the tucks suddenly
ceased and the material flared out, making
a full ruffle.
The bodice was laid In narrow tucks from
the neck to the belt. The sleeves were
treated In the same way as far as the el
bow.
Th distinctive feature of this gown was
the passementerie, which was a brilliant
thing in many kinds of tinsel. There were
sparkles of gold, gleams, of silver, shim
mering particles of steel and many a wink
of jet. This elaborate passemeterie, cun- '
nlngly combined Into one harmonious i
trimming, was used to trim the skirt Just I
where the tucks ceased. It was also used
as a girdle design upon the waist, and '
narrow bands of It were brought up In
pointed fashion from the bust, where they •
were finished with a bow of orange satin ;
ribbon.
The hat was a modified Galnesborough. j
The front dipped sharply Into a point, but
the sides rolled upwards and were draped '
with a trailing feather.
With these cloth gowns for the street
there are picture hats of the most deco- I
rative order. Romney, Isabey and Gains- !
borough have all lent their art to the fash
ioning of these hats. Actual pictures arc
copied, and the wearers look as though
___ 1
A very neat Jacket effect is obtained upon the first fall gowns by means of a
strapping which is carried around the bust and the hips. The straps terminate
on small rosettes, each secured with a gold buckle. This relieves the plainness of
the gown and is vejry becoming to the figure.
I
two combine exquisitely. Tendre blue
makes the most charming costumes, and
if well combined with deeper shades they
are beautiful for wear all the season.
A gown of this delightful blue was made
with a tight-fitting bodice; so tight, in- I
deed, that it fully outlined the bust with- |
out a parficle of leeway for a blouse ef
fect. The sleeves were tight at the top
and fitted the arm very closely until they
suddenly belled out at the hand.
The bodice had an eccentric trimming
of gold embroidery put on in squares and
points and odd designs from the neck to
the bust line. This embroidery was out
lined with the narrowest band of blacl(
velvet.
Small ovals of gold embroidery were set
around the belt, each one outlined with
black velvet.
The skirt was tight-fitting nearly to the
foot, where it flared, as all skorts must
flare. It was laid in tucks in groups of
four, which reached from the belt down
to the very ground. The cut of the skirt
was so perfect that it flared without de
stroying the tucking arrangement.
Fans are fashionable around the skirt,
but they are fans of a new order. The
skirt is slashed and into the opening is set
an oval of any material. Sometimes a bias
ruffle is placed where the fan should have
been. In this gown there was a large curl
ously-shape piece of gold lace laid over a
piece 'of yellow satin. All the lace upon
this costume was underlaid with satin,
giving an elegant finish to the gown. The
belt was black to match the narrow rib
bons that outlined the gold lace patterns.
AN ELEGANT COSTUME.
An exquisite toque flared from the face
and waB lined with blue chiffon, Into which
were set large red roses. Its top was
trimmed with yellow roses, black velvet
hows and plumes.
This elegant costume was worn by one
of the most fashionable women in New
York during her visit to Paris. She was
one of the party which everywhere accom
panied Mrs. George Gould on her rounds
in Paris.
After turning out a gown of this kind
the clever modiste who made it cunningly
contrived several that were precisely as
good In effect without the cost. Cashmere
is not expensive, nor is yellow lace of the
Venetian variety. As an underlay there
can be an imitation silk. The whole gown
can be fashioned for as small a sum as
the woman of moderate dress may have
they had stepped out of the ancient
frames.
A gown in ice green cloth was as
as could be imagined. The skirt was tucked
as so many of the skirts are, In spite of
the fact that tucking Is no longer new,
and was treated so that It flared around
the foot, where the tuckings ceased. There
were slashes In the skirt, and into these
were let fans of a deeper green silk, long
pointed fans w'hich gave almost the
of a petticoat.
The bodice consisted of a bolero of ice
green cloth, laid in groups of tucks, three
tucks to a group. Between the groups
there were bands of black applique, al!
sloping toward the bust. The sleeves were
belled around the hands. A very deep col
lar turned down around the throat, some
thing like a sailor collar, and was edged
with a thick ruchlng of plaited ribbon. A
bunch of the ribbon trimmed the bust.
There was a vest of green silk of a deeper
hue, with a collar of the same. A large
black toque was trimmed with wings of
ribbon and with pointed bird wings.
The shirt waist three or four years ago
was easily singled out from fancy waists,
but today it has been improved to such an
extent that it is almost Impossible to tell
whether you are buying a fancy waist or a
shirt waist. In fact, they are all known as
shirt waists, from the lawn to flannel and
from flannel to silk. Here they are called
shirt waists Americaine.
The silk waists this winter will be more
elaborate than any other season. One rea
son for this Is that there are so many
beautiful shades and such fields for good
combinations that the designer cannot re
frain from tempting us with the daintiest
confections in all colors. Particularly do
these run the scale in the reds and the
violets.
One very handsome waist is made of a
soft silk, of stripes In rose and black about
a quarter of an inch wide.
There is a tucked yoke and front vest of
black silk, which is corded. The rose and
black striped silk Is bloused a little all
around the waist, and extends up in the
back to form a round yoke of the black
silk. In the front the same round effect
is carried out, but the silk terminates and
leaves a spaqe of about three inches down
the front, through which the black tucked
vest, which is a continuation of the yoke,
is seen. It falls in a blouse.
All around the yoke and down the fronts
there is a trimming of heavy silk embroid
ery of roses and buds. They are of ths
f same old rose shade as the stripes of the
silk, and form a very rich and beautiful
trimming.
The collar is the high stock, so fashion
able, and the trimming of the roses is ap
pllqued on it.
The sleeves are novel effects and are
very beautiful. From the shoulder down
to the elbow the sleeve Is perfects
smooth, but at the elbow it flares slightly
and terminates in a wide flare just be
tween the elbow and the waist.
There is an accordion plaited under
sleeve of old rose chiffon. It Is shirred at
the wrist and then falls over the hand.
About the lower edge of the over-sleeve,
and over the shoulder In cap shape, the
rose trimming forms a finishing touch.
In the tucked waists of taffeta silk there
are many pretty new designs. The tucks
this year are just as small as those of a
year ago and some of them just as heavily
corded.
A very pretty waist in cherry red taffeta
has a tucked, round yoke, and between
each row of tucking there is a narrow
black silk braid. The effect is that of black
and red striped material.
From the tucked yoke, which terminates
at the shoulders, begin the tucks in the
waist, and odd to say, these run up and
down. The tucks in the waist are about a
quarter of an inch apart and are the size
of a very small lead pencil. They are not
In groups, but are measured evenly all
around the waist.
The sleeves of this waist are peculiar.
The tops of them age made as the yoke of
the waist, with tucks running around, anil
black silk braid, the tucks and braid form
ing a cap over the shoulder, and from the
shoulder down the tucks run as in the
waist from the yoke down.
An accordion plaited w'aist of grey and
light blue stripes is very pretty.
The accordion plaits are so arranged
that on the surface nothing but the grey
appears, but as the wearer moves, the
waist, which is a blouse, shows the pale
blue stripes of the plaiting. The yoke of
this waist Is of accordion plaited grey
mousseline de sole. The shape of the yoke
is very odd. It is cut in sharp points.
There are three points in front, one in the
middle and one on each side; the accordion
plaits are drawn tightly down, and only a
pretty crinkled effect Is given. Upon these
points is set the accordion plaited silk of
blue and grey, and the heading is of a
narrow ruffling of the mousseline de sole.
The sleeves of this waist could not be
handsomer. The upper part Ip made of
the blue and grey silk, plaited just as the
waist, but slightly puffed, and ending at
the elbow In a ruffle of the silk about three
inches wide. From under this falls the
under-sleeve of the grey mousseline de sole
in a puff to the wrist, where it is gath
ered, and continues down over the hand.
Of course, this waist is only for evening
wear, and a pretty skirt to wear with it
Is one made of grey crepe de chine.
For the business woman the darker
shades in golden browns, greens^ blues
and black are made Into handsome waists.
All of the waists this winter are bloused,
and most of them tucked.
There Is a black and white waist In one
Of the shops which is particularly attrac
tive. Down each side of the front of the ;
waist are two plaits about an Inch wide;
the second laps just about half over the
first. From the under side of each of
these plaits is seen just the least cord of
white silk. The collar of the waist Is made
of black and white silk, the corded tucks
of the white being very small. Of course,
this is extremely simple, but the white
adds Just the touch the sombre black silk
needs.
