Dancing With a Duke.

rian striped muslin, transparent, lined
with pink silk and looped over short
underskirt, of white satin cut into blocks
around the bottom. Each block is hand
painted with q spray of pink morning
glories and foliage, this block trimming
falling over deep founce of Oriental
lace. The satin bodice has a spray of
morning glories, starting from the left
shoulder. crossing the waist diagonally
and falling in garland over the sides of
the psniers.
His second wore q dress of heavy
white corded silk, hand embroidered in
white sadler silk bouquets. The front
is breadth of splendid chenille embroid-
cry in the proper colors for roses and
dropping clusters OF wisterias and their
foliage. The long train is split mp the
back, and from the opening there PUSHES
a sweeping OF this chenille embroidered
silk.
The third is in purplish blue and
BLUSH French gray, both materials the
heaviest satin, and at the smallest calcu-
laticn twenty yards of each is gobbled IN
the manufacture of this stunning cos
TIME. Newcastle's fourth waltz was with
Il girl in toilet of oak satin merveiileux,
trimmed on the bottom with putting of
the same stuff, surmounted by fornce
OF old rose silk, embroidered in open
work. The corsage. OF oak armure, is
pointed ut the waist, with a fiounce in
large pleats set on all around.
But the most gorgeous dress pressed
by the dukes sons arm is gendarme
blue, with huge biocaded flowers of
shaded gold nearly covering the surface.
This superb material is pulled, looped
and draped from the waist to the end of
the train, with freedom utterly regard
less of cost. Besides, there ran up the
front. across the breast and down the
back, an exquisite trimming of floss EN-
broidery of flowers and leaves in natural
colors, cut out and thickly studded with
pearl beads. The fellow might easily

ter for three and two years respectively.
The father and mother we're dead or they
would probably have had place in this
family group. This however, is rather
an instance OF family uniting efforts in
the preparation of single felony"
"Hsve we any families Of this descrip-
ton in st. Louis?
Eyes, only they are o stronger proof
OF the fact that tendency to commit
crime is transmitted from father to son
and pervade q whole family. There is
one family here named Mcclure. The
old man has been in the pen, and two of
his SONS are making tall efforts to follow
in the foot prints Of their respected
father. There is another family here, all
the members of which are criminals, and
Is the two respectable persons in it bear
the family name, it would be wrong to
implicnte them by publication. They
will be readily identified by any officer
on the force and many Of their victims
when you state that the most daring OF
the batch are Tommy Ms and his
sister Kate. There were five boys and
two girls. Three of the boys turned out
to be thieves, and the two girls AZ bad.
The girls are living with two men enjoy
ing the reputation of thieves, and dock
eted in the Rogues' Gallery as pals of
their three worthy brothers-in law. This
batch has been repeatedly arrested, but
we have never succeeded in getting more
than one of them out of harms way.
Another family named Bryland worked
st. Louis for long time. There were
four boys in this gang. bnt all died of
consumption, brought on by the night
work done by them in bad weather and
dissipation"
These are not blooded crooks from
their birth, are they?"
"Well, you would think they were j:
you knew them, for they have II regular
growth. The little ones begin at petty
thefts from hawkers' and farmers
wagons, market stalls and grocery store
exhibits and railroad freight cars. for
which. on account of the smallness of
the offense and offender, they escape
punishment. The next step is pulling
hampers; that is, tapping tills of small
shops. Picking pockets, which requires
little more science, is the next step,
and about this stage they are taken in
tow by their elder brothers and serve as
kids to be lifted in a window, to open
door, or perform similar functions.
After this they are full fedged and
capable of performing jobs for them
selves"

Nasty Tackles the Scott Law.

"Ther is eighty s'loons in this county,
and the Republican feends hev taxed
EN- 5000 each, which they hev paid.
There is to-day SIG, 900 in the county
trezry, which hev bin wrung out Of Their

fifth NV all the taxes the county hev to
pay. My taxes before this wuz about
500 q year. and next year shall hev to
pay only about $50, which is 20 per cent

Then this mercenary old wretch yelled
"Rah for the Scott law!

yelled to the infatuated loonatics. "Yoo
amt here to 'rah for the Scott law, but
