brocade in two shades of brown. The frock
itself is of the beige material and trimmed
round the bottom with deep killing of the
same. A drapery of the fancy brocade is
arranged across the front, forming paniers
at the side, and disappearing at the back
under loose puff, formed of the beige ma
terial, just above the killing. A deep collar
and cuff of this same brocade complete the
trimming.
This model can also be made of plain or
cambria, combined with figure, ditto.
For a girl of fifteen, dress also of the
same shape, made of any light, fancy WOOL
en- material, is trimmed with three rows of
close shirrings down the front, and with a
deep fluting round the bottom.
To mitigate the stiff, straight look of this
dress, second skirt is added, in which is
merely sort of scarf drapery plated across
the front, and draped up at the back into
t0n,NHre. This can be made either of the
same or of some other material. If the
latter, the fancy fabric should also be used
for the collars, cuffs and pockets of the
dress

Jeffersonian Relics.

The Jefferson Club has added to the por-

engraving of Thomas Jefferson, published
by Bettoni, of Paris The workmanship is
very fine, and the picture is taken from the
portrait painted by Baron Desnoyers, in
1887, during the visit of Jefferson to France.
The publisher dedicated his work to Cen
eral Lafayette. Mr.. Jefferson presented to
Joseph Corlidge, Jr., in 1852, the writing
desk on which the Declaration of Indepen-
dence was written, accompanied by note,
stating its historical value. This desk was
lately presented to Congress by Mr.. Jeffer-
son Corlidge, of Massachusetts, and the
Jefferson Club have received fac-simile of
this presentation note. The asticles were
given to the club by Senator Bayard.

LOST IN THE SEA.
Humanity and Lucre gone to the Bottom-The
Former of no Account, but Lively
Search for the Latter.


On Friday afternoon our popular and en-
terprising ship builder, Col. Enoch Moore,
Jr., at his ship yards on the Christiana, put
into the dry-dock, for sundry repairs, the
schooner Helen LEEDS. This statement, in
itself, is not very interesting, but thereby
hangs tale, as follows
In 1916 an English war vessel, name un-
mentioned, came galley sailing into the
Delaware Breakwater, on mission of mercy
she was laden with money to pay the Eng
lish troops. But the money was never re-
ceived by the valient red-coats of King
George, for spruce young English Earl,
who commanded the vessel, countermanded
the orders of the plot-thinking, of course,
that he knew more than the pilot did-and
the consequence was that the vessel ran into
a shoal, the crew was drowned and, worse
than all, the money lost.
The pilot escaped, and some years after
he left to his eldest son papers giving an
accurate description of the location of the
sunken vessel. The son sold the papers to
New York wrecking company, and the
company has undertaken the job of resur-
recting the wrecked ducats. The company
was engaged in that work all last week, and
report states that the hulk of the old vessel
has been buoyed, and that the treasure is
expected to be secured inside of two weeks.
1t was while engaged in this work that the
Helen Leeds became disabled and hadsr(
turn in for repairs. .rm-

Run Over.

An accident, nearly resulting in serious
injury to an old man, occurred about 9
o'clock last night, on Fourth street between
Market and King. A carriage, the occu-
pants of which were two ladies, was coming
down the street at high rate of speed, and
ran over an old gentleman named Hanison,
who resides at 1910 French street. He was
badly bruised on the face and limbs, and
was taken into Taylor & Fullerton's drug
store, where his wounds were dressed, after
which he was sent home. The speed of
the carriage was not lessened after the acci-
dent, and who the occupants were could
not be ascertained. Another man, whose
name could not be ascertained, was also run
over by the same carriage and hurt, but not
seriously, in the back. His wound was
dressed by DR.. Simms. After the accident
the carriage was driven off with great
rapidity. In addition to the females above
mentioned, it is asserted that one or more
men were in the carriage.

Philadelphia Clothing.

Philadelphia's reputation for fine and
cheap clothing is eclipsed by no city in the
union, and in the front ranks of Phiadel-
phia's merchants in that line are A. C. Yates
& Co., whose immense business extends far
beyond the limits of the city, and who in
clude many Wilmingtonians among their
patrons. This latter fact is no doubt due in
great measure to the association with them
of Mr.. ]. w. Canary, formerly of 4o6 Mar
ket street, this city, who has hosts of friends
here.

The Hancock and English ratification
meeting of the Excelsior Club, which was
to have taken place last Saturday, but did
not come off, owing to the failure to obtain
music, will, the officers of the club say,
positively take place on Tuesday evening
next. 1t will be an outdoor meeting, and
will be held in front of the City Hall. A
larger crowd than the Excelsior Club rooms
would be able to accommodate is expected.
The speakers are not yet announced, but
number are expected. The musical inspira-
ton will be furnished by the Millard Band.

The MIRROR wishes to call especial atten-

found to be interesting reading.

paper, and they are SO goOd that they think
no work of any kind should be done on

call their attention to the fact that large
proportion of the work on every newspaper
published on Monday, especially Monday
morning newspaper, is done on Sunday.

one evening this fellow came in and
sat down to a table, giving his
orders with the air of a millionaire.
He was nicely dressed, and wore
a long, handsome ulster. After
he had finished his supper he
started out, seeming to forget that he
hadn't paid. The proprietor stopped
him with a reminder of the fact, when
it was found that the fellow was a
beat, and hadn't a cent of money,

to administer a dose ofleather beneath

the fellow begged off, and said he
would leave his p%antaloons with the

was tnen taken to brcakfast and shown

gave him $40, as he had to leave i'm

his pants, told the story, and skipped
the town about $40 so ahead.
