Blue. red, and white flannel hats, of
the Buffalo Bill shape. are extensively
worn by young ladies at the seaside
Cheap materials covered with expen-
sive trimmings is one of the inconsist-
encies of fashion in ladies' dresses.
Don't talk any more about overskirt
and looping, but of ..drapery," which is
the word circulated by all first-class
modistes.
Wristlets of gay-colored ribbon, tied
IN bow and having streamers. are ''all
the rage" among the ladies at the fash
ionable Summer resorts.
A new shade in cream color now much
seen in dress materials answers to the
name of fresh butter" It is a compro-
mise between yellow and ecru.
Women's dress nowadays approaches
so nearly to the male standard in SIM

Baltimore young maidens appear at
Cape May in red skirts, dark military
sacques and red turbans. They carry a
Sultan sunshade of Turkey red, and a
fan half yard wide.
Huge punches of red and white roses

is the deception that only close OBJ
server can detect it.
One sees considerable coin iewelry
this season. bracelets, necklaces and
bangles made of United States gold and
silver pieces. A lady of Long Branch
wears a necklace made of so and $50
gold pieces.
Shrimp pink is one of the fashionable
colors of the day, and it is to be said of
it that it is very trying to the complex

uate its popularity. Another color in
high favor is lobster red.''
Carriage costumes seen at Newport

Bonnet, parasol, gloves, in fact every
thing corresponds in hue color and what
may be called general elegance"
Wraps and 'mantles this Summer are
if anything, handsomer and more styl-
ish than ever, a trifie eccentric, per-
haps, in cut and trimmings, but pretty
nevertheless. Those of gray cashmere
with the ball or tassel fringe are especi-
ally stylish.
Newest coaching hats are something
of a modified Gainsborough of fine white
straw and exclusively trimmed with
long, white, waving nodding plumes, -

Turks and High Schools.

81 wasted said an old Turk, ssten
years of my life in one of the high
schools. In consequence of this | know
nothing. Had | gone to the schools of
the Softas might have become a great
teacher. A high school teaches nothing
that people want to know. For in
stance, they teach botany. They spend
weeks in explaining to young man
that rose is rose! What earthly use
is that to anyone? If man knows a
rose when he sees it, he knows it with
out having learned it in a book If he
does not know that it is rose, no book
will ever make him care to know what
it is. High schools never did good to
anybody in this country" The Turk
was partly right As in everything else,
so in education, the methods adopted
by the Turks are mere apish limitations
of what is found in Europe, and always
remain unmeaning forms of exercise, 8

William McCabe is an old scout and noun
taineer, who, previous to 10, bad not slept
indoors for twenty years. He has hosts of
friends throughout the West, and has al
ways been counted as one of the most peace
able of men, never having taken a life,
though often capturing escaped convicts,
managing always to avoid shedding blood.
A year ago, while in Rawlins, three men
robbed him, and nearly dubbed him to
death. Since then he has been unsettled in
mind at times. Last night he arrived at
kawlins and stepped into a saloon, meeting
one Of the men who robbed him. McCabe
asked him If he was not one of the three,
and he said yes. "Then you are q dead man."

DAVITT,S DESIGNS.
Land League Advocating Capitalization
of Ownership.


New YORK, June S.-The Heralds Lon
don dispatch says: Michael Davitt sails for
America In the steamer Germanic. The OBJ
ject OF his visit Is to explain the scope and
meaning of the new development of land
agitation, which has for Its aim the national
ization OF land. Davitt has embraced the
theory advanced by Henry George and other
communistic writers, that the ownership of
land in any country should be completely
vested In the state, and not in private own
ers, whether peasant proprietors or landIor
This Is novel departure In Irish social pol
itics, and one not likely to be received with
favor by six hundred thousand farmers who
have been taught by the sgitation of the
past few years to look forward to the time
when they should be the owners of their
farms. Davitt, however, has confidence In
the truth Of his theory, and hopes to convert
to his way of thinking.
However this may turn out, the launching
of the new programme has been generally
condemned by his parliamentary associates,
who believe that the introduction of CON-
ideas will drive from the Land
League ranks conservative and clerical ele.
ments which contributed SO much to
strengthen the Land League movement.

Expla,nino IN. orsaon r,.c,.on


WASHINGTON, June S.-Senator Slater, OF
Oregon, said to-day that the result Of the
election In that State, was due to several cir
cumstances, among others, the influx of i'm
migration to the State since the last election,
the majority of the new voters being Repub-
licans; to the influence of certain high off,
cials of The Northern Pacific Railroad (by
whom he did not mean either president VII
lard or the managers of the company, but
resident officials), and to the use of money
sent from Washington. The Democratic
failure, he said, was also largely owing to
their having received no assistance from
abroad. The only help they received from
the committee was In the shape Of docu-
ments on the Chinese question, but that was
not made an issue. Had the veto OF the
Chinese bill been given just just before the
election and too late for the passage of any
other measure, IL would have been an issue.
but as II was the question did not enter into
the contest 10 any extent.

DAvITTs GREAT spEECu.
II Excites Immense Enshn sI.s.n Through
out LELAND.


NEW YoRK, June 81 special rabiegl On
to the Irish World f.m Dublin says
Michael Davitt's Liverpo i speech is spoker
OF as the grandest effort Of his life. 1t wat
delivered amidst enthusiasm almost indie
scribable, and ID pronounced one of the mos
important events In the history of the land
agitation. He proposed the NATURALIZATION
of Ireland by abolishing all taxation except
upon land values, and, continuing, said the
state would thus become the steward of the
national property. Farmers would have per.
feet security Of tenure, paying less in taxes
than they now do In rent, while the property
created in land by their capital and industry
would be theirs TO dispose of In the same
way as they now dispose of tenant right.
Laborers would be similarly secured; the
occupancy of plots would of course be nee-
essary; the agriculturists would thus get the
security of peasant proprietory without pur-
chase, and they would also be relieved of all
taxes now levied upon them. Non-agricul-
turists would receive In dividends out of the
proceeds Of land what they now pay In all
kinds of taxation. This is what is meant by
"land for the people," Permitting any class
to hold land as absolute property is incon-
sistent with the freedom and welfare of man
kind. Land values arise from aggregate
population and the industry Of the COM
munity, and, therefore, Of right sbelong to
the whole community and not to individuals
or classes. Davitt concluded his speech in
these words: 81 have stated my programme
from this night forth. As long as have life
to devote TO the cause of Ireland that life
will be devoted TO furthering this programme
In the interests of our fellow-eountrymen."
The enthusiasm during the delivery of this
speech was tremendous. Twenty thousand
people filled the street In front of the hall,
cheering Davitt and singing the national an
them, God Save Ireland" When Davilt
emerged.from the hall he was borne on the
shoulders of stalwart men to the carriage,
which the crowd unhorsed and dragged to
the hotel. Arrived there the crowd refused
TO disperse until Davitt had addressed them
from the balcony. Ireland has been wrought
up to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. 1t is
evident that Davitt has struck a popular
chord. The English press has full reports of
Davitts speech, with long editorial COM
ments. The Dublin Mail castle organ)
tenounces him, but says: "There's 10 use
Of our shutting our eyes to the fact that in
The present crisis Davitt's announcements
are Of more importance than those of any

A MANIAC MOTHERS HORRIBLE DEED.
She Poisons Her Four Children and Her.
self.

CHICAGO, jane 10.-Casper Seybsldt is q
baker who works nights. Last night when
he left home his wife began preparations for
horrible deed. They bad four children,
aged twelve, seven, two and half years,
and one four months. She dressed them I'm
clean white clothes, with bright ribbons,
gave them strychnine, and when they died
laid them out carefully with flowers in their
little hands, and all surroundings were made
as beautiful as possible. She then took
dose of poison herself, having first put ON
white chemise with ribbons in it. This was
just before the return of her husband at five
o'clock this morning. When he appeared at
the door she met him, told him TO "come In
and look at the children, all dead and gone
to heaven. See how pretty they are with
nice flowers for the angels" One of the
children was alive, but has since died. Mrs.
Seyboldt died about seven o'clock this morn
Ing. The cause of the demented woman's
act is not known.
1t appears that Mr.. and Mrs. Seyboldt did
not live in entire harmony, and that since
the birth Of her last child she has not been
In good health, and II Is believed that de-
spondency caused her to commit the deed.
From number of notes written by her eld-
est daughter, aged twelve years, it appears
Mrs. Seyboldt had talked the matter over
with her and got her consent to the terrible
tragedy. These notes are addressed to her
schoolmates and two to her father. One
says; 'Forgive me; we leave you. Mamma
thought 1t was the best We could do" The .
other asks him to bury them decently, aud .
tells him where she leaves money To buy
flowers. One addressed to scboolmate !
says: Smother was always sick, you know,
and often thought of dying and how We
would be treated, and 50 she thought it best
for all of us 10 die at once, and she bought
to kill us, baby first, Annie sec
ond, Tony third, l afterward, and then
mother. We did not suffer much, and now
we are out OF trouble"
