The Latest Fashion in Mems. Clothing.

Prominent high-class houses are in
Producing quite a number of changes,
which will probably soon become popu-
lar and general. They are making
great many walking coats shorter and
less cut-away than formerly. The reg
ular lengths are still in vogue, but the
shorter coat with fuller fronts is rapidly
gaining in popularity. The very short
wasted and long-skirted coat, with the
skirts cut away almost to point, has
had so long a run that the newer form
is welcome innovation. The lengths
for this coat for man of average
height, say five feet nine inches, are
eighteen and one-half and thirtv-three.
The sleeves are made shapely, but are
gradually increasing in size, the pro-
portions most IN favor being sixteen at
elbow and twelve at hand They are
finished with imitation cuffs closing
with three holes and buttons. Flaps
are frequently put on the waist seam,
and seem to be growing in favor.
Diagonals and other fine goods, which,
during the past season, were almost in
variably finished with binding, are now
generally stitched-one row as close to
the edge as possible, and the other
three-eighths of an inch back.
The disposition is to close double
breasted frocks, five holes, with narrow
lapel, but where the customer is large
or tall they are closed with six. The
lengths for an average height range
from eighteen and q half to nineteen
waist, and from thirty-eight to thirty
nine full length. Narrow flat braiding
is quite popular, but when the goods
will admit of it the edges are almost
always double stitched, as for walking
coats.
Sacques are cut close and long.
They are made to fit the form as
closely as frock, and range from
thirty to thirty-one inches in length.
The edges are stitched, and the sleeves
are finished with small vent, with or
without buttons. Coarse, rough goods
are very popular, with decided tend
ency to favor indistinct plaids.
Overcoats are about the same as last
season. They are made rather longer,
however, the average length being about
forty-two inches. The edges are gen
orally piped with velvet or cloth, and
are sometimes finished with tubular
cord. The sleeves are often finished
with cuffs, though generally made to
initiate them, and have three holes and
buttons.
Pantaloons and vests are being made
about the same. The former are grad
ually increasing in size, and are often
finished with narrow welt. The lat
ter continue to close high, with six or
seven buttons, generally seven, and are
made with or without collar. The
no-collar vests will continue popular so
long as coats are made to close so high
on the chest. -Anterican Fashion Re-

A Warning to American Girls.

Joseph F. Potter, our Consul at Gre
field, Germany, has been making inves-
legations in regard to matter of great
interest to our fair country women, and
the result of his labors is to be found in
a report full of information of the most
vital interest. He has been inquiring
into the results of marriages between
American girls and German mobiles, and
what he tells us is most startling.
In thirty-three marriages cited there
has not not been single happy union,
but either'a divorce or abandonment has
speedily followed the wedding He
finds the reason for this unhappy state
of affairs to be that the American wives
have in every instance been brutally
treated and in some cases absolute vio-
lence has been used The brides were
expected to perform the most mental
offices. In one instance, the husband,
who is an officer of rank in the German
army, demanded that his wife perform
the service usually expected from
a servant of the humblest sort, and one
of the things she was ordered to do was
to superintendt the cleaning of his boots.
This lady was the daughter of leading
railroad magnate in Western State,
and the story she tells is a mostpitiable
one. ... ..
Her hard-headed father took the pre-
caution at her marriage to settle his
daughters fortune upon her, and tied
it up in such way that she could not
relinquish its control even if she de-
sired to do so. After many humiliating
tasks had been given this lady, the boot
cleaning was required Then she re-
belled. She drew the line there, and
with her American blood at the boiling
point she fatty refused. Her warrior
husband, who, besides hismilitary rank,
has the title of Count, attempted to EN-
force discipline in his family by using
his riding whip upon his recalcitrant
bride, and after serious time of it she
evaded the hogging and left the bed
and board of the knightly Uhlan for
her native land. Her husband could
not prevent her departure, but tried to
compel the payment OF a certain sum
of money by way of salve to the
wounds his sensibiiity received by her
abrupt departure. He did not succeed,
for the lady had no property in the
province that could be held, so she got
| away without further loss of time.

A Million Dollars Depending on the Let
ter 5.

Leonard Case, millionaire old bach
elor, charitable and eccentric, died in
this city several years ago, leaving, be-
sides handsome legacy for a school of
applied science which bears his name,
large property for his heirs and next
of kin to quarrel over in the courts.
One of the suits now pending in the Su-
preme Court, the court of last resort,
hinges upon the appearance of the let
ter $50 in the statutes. The other de-
scendants of Leonard Cases mother
claim share in the estate. The stat
utes provide that under certain contin-
gencies the estate of a deceased person
shall pass to the next of kin of the line
of ancestors from whom the estate came.
If the word ancestors" is to be CON
strued in its full force, the defendants
of Mrs. Case can obtain their full share.
On the other hand, it is claimed that
the letter $50 ut the end of "ancestors"
crept into the statutes through the care
lessness ofsome printer OF proof-reader.
The case will be heard in the Supreme
Court before long. The property in
volved is valued at $1,000, 000- Cieue-

RIPENED WHEAT.

We bent to-day DER a coffined form,
And our tears fell softly down
We looked our last on the aged face,
With its look of peace, its patient grace,
And hair like silver crown.
We touched our own to the clay-cold hands,
From lifes long labor at rest;
And among the blossoms white and sweet
We noted a bunch of golden wheat
Clasped close to the silent breast.
The blossoms whispered of fadeless bloom,
OF the land where falls no tear;
But the ripe wheat told of toll and care,
The patient waiting, the trusting prayer,
The garnered good of the year.
We know not what work her hands had found,
What rugged place her feet
What cross was hers, what blackness of night;
We saw but peace, the blossoms white,
And the bunch of ripened wheat.
