LADIES. DEPARTMENT.


The choice of underwear is n great
element In its coolness and daintiness
of summer dress Square cut and
neatly made combination garments of
thin, but not very fine batiste are best
for workers who cannot afford linen,
lawn and cambric. AS for silk, they
should only be worn occasionally, even
by the rich, in summer, as they will
not look well nor remain soft after
many washings, and cleanliness in hot
weather requires frequent changes.
A gauze shirt Of wool or silk is recon-
mended under the combination garment
for comfort, health, neatncss and the
preservation Of outer clothing. 1t does
not add perceptibly to warmth, it can
be changed often, and it absorbs that
unpleasant moisture which, in the case
of stout women, 80 often makes dread
ful havoc with clothes.
1t is noticeable that ladies who make
a great display on occasions during
warm weather are apt to be slovenly in
the intervals; they keep up the pressure
all the time, and they alternate between
dragging around long train and dis
playing before the gaze of the multi
tudc a most elaborate get-up, from hair
pins down to highly embroidered hose,
and louuging in tangled hair, sack and
short skirt for the benefit Of whoever
has the right to share their privacy.

of the narcotic. From the time when

fellow with pack on his back. At the
command "halt" the little man drew a
revolver, fired and ran. Armstrong sent

He would not say word, and all the
coaxing in the world seemed to have no

about shooting into the copse after him,

Fatal Fire.

New York, ia fire broke out
to-day on the top floor of ware
house on Furman street, Brooklyn,
IN one Of the buildings known as
Plerreponts stores, among some
bags Of damaged linseed. When the
hremen arrived, several large
streams were poured on the building,
but the fire burned persistently.
While the blaze was sweeping
through the upper part of the
building, the wOrkmen discovered
that one of their number, Patrick
MOrey, was missing. He persisted
in the flames. Thos. Egan, an
other workman, also remained too
long on the upper floors, for when
he attempted to get back to the
stairs he found that the avenue was
cut off by fire. He then became so
terrified that he sprang out of the
window, falling upon the ground.
He was picked up unconscious and
believed to be fatally injured. The
flames made rapid progress and
communicated to warehouse No. 5,
which was stored with miscel-
laneous merchandise. The firemen
had the flames extinguished
after two hours labor. When
the interior of the warehouse
was nearly burned out, the charred
remains of Morey were found. The
warehouses were owned by Henry
+. Pierrepont& Co. No. is said to
have been worth 100000, and No. 5,
$4,000. Insured $4,000.
Some goods in storage were very
valuable, and the loss is estimated
at about 100000.
