Much attention is paid this season to fancy
dress parties. They are extremely popular,
and the costumes TO be seen were never more
beautiful. There are some original ideas
here and there to be traced, too, which are
remarkable, considering how long the world
has been going to fancy dress parties. One
Of the prettiest Of the new ideas Is for each
lady TO dress 70 resemble some flower, as q
pansy, rose, lily, violet, chrysanthemum, OF,
perhaps, since It is aesthetic, a sunfiower. The
lily Of tho valley is also a lovely fancy cos
tune. But that opens up q topic too vast for
the limits Of this letter-that OF fancy and
character dressing. It must be left for the
present.
One exquisite party dress Is OF a delicate
heliotrope shade, the front and sides en-
broidered in Oriental colors and gold. Hello
trope Is 30 fashionable that ii Is shown In
seven different shades. Another fashionable
color, which Is worry beautiful, il called
aurora pink" II Is a warm, golden-ross
shade.
Little girls dress almost rs deliberately and
e-xtravagantly as their moL--as for their so
cial gatherings, though in thinner, brighter
colored fabrics. Fancy dress parties, too,
are as much the fashion for them at present
as for grown people. Their balls begin at 8
O'Clock in the afternoon and end at 0 in the
evening, which is a good hour too late for
their health. There are fashions for boys as
well as for girls in party dresses. The proper
material for their jackets and knee brooches
this winter Is considered to be ribbed velvet,
though plush is still somewhat worn.

No more bangs or fringes of hair upon the

Ball dresses of English crepe, either white

HORRIBLE MURDER.
A Night Drug Clerk Found with his Skull
Crushed and his Throat Cut from Ear to
Ear-NO Clue to the Murderer.

New YORK, May 81
Richard Hands, night clerk at Cramford's
drug store. l20 Hudson street. was murdered
last night by unknown parties. When the
day clerk came on duty this mornig he found
Hands seated in chair in little back room
where he slept. His skull was crushed in
and his throat cut frem ear to ear. His bed
had not been occupied, indicating that the
deed was perpetrated early in the night A
pestle with blood and hair adhering to it was
found near by and is believed to have been
the weapon first used.
There was no evidence of a struggle and it
is thought the blows on the head were dealt
from behind and the throat cut after the clerk
struck the chair. As yet the police have no
clue to the murderer
Hands was unusually popular and was not
known to have an enemy. His domestic re-
lations were of the happiest. He lived with
his wife and two children, opposite the build.
ing in which was the drug store. Saturday.
about ii o'clock, his wife took his lunch to
him as usual and left him in good spirits.
She was preparing his breakfast this morning
when the tidings of his terrible death came
home to her. With cry of anguish she fell
fainting to the floor and it was feared for
some time that she would not survive the
shock.

The WHEAT CROP.


CHIcAeo, May 81.
The Farmers Review publishes complete
survey Of the Western and Southern wheat
growing States, as to probable crops. Hav-
ing received reports from over 5000 corre-
spondents. covering every wheat producing
county in Ohio, Michigan, Indiana. Illinois,
Kentucky, Tennessee. Missouri. Kansas, Me-
eraska, Iowa, Wisconsin. Minnesota and
Dakota, together with . very accurate and
recent summary from the Pacific coast re-
gion, made by the associated press, forms,
II Is believed, one of the most complete re-
ports ever prepared. The information 10 be-
iieved to be the most exhaustive and latest
that has yet been obtained, and foreshadows
the State and government reports.
In summing up its detailed reports the Re-
view Gays: The eloomiest We've which
have been advanced concerning the winter
wheat outlook Of 1885, must now be accepted
as the most accurate, The promising condi-
tions Of 1884 have this season been complete
ly reversed. The absolute uniformity of the
returns indicate that the outlook for winter
sown wheat this year Is the most gloomy in
ten years, and Il may now be set down a.
certain that under the most favoring condi-
tions, the total winter and spring wheat yield
is TO fall considerably under the short crop of
1881, when the total product was 3s, 900, 900
bushels.

THE INDIAN RAID.
The Hostiles Endeavoring to Escaps-
A Guides Experience.
DENVER, Col, Nav 30.

DENVER, Col, May 30.
A special from Silver City says: Although
the Indians have apparently left the imme-
diate vicinity. many fresh trails have been
discovered in the country about here. The
trails are small. indicating that the bands are
breaking up and are wandering through the
country, doubtless seeking a way to escape.
The people are thoroughly aroused, and it
seems impossible for the Indians to get back
to their reservation. If they fail to find
way to escape to Mexico, the campaign will
probably last two or three months. Most of
the squaws and children are believed to have
gone South, while the bucks keep the atten.
ton of the troops elsewhere. Cowboys have
discovered the bodies of four Indians, killed
by Bunting and Haynes in Magellon Greek,
covered with stones.
A man named Watts, in from Twin Sister
Peak, was guide for the troops from Fort
Bavard. YESTERDAY. when near Wilson
Canon, Watts became separated from the
command. He was discovered by small
band of Indians, who cut of his retreat The
latter fired, and the Indians gave chase, kill
ing his horse. He escaped to the fort on
foot, leaving the troops in pursuit.
Indians were seen near Georgetown yester-
day, and fresh signs of them are seen cross
ing the road between here and Ballard's
Peak. supposed to be the largest band of the
hostiles. There are reports of killing in
other sections, bat none in this city. The
Mexican troops are gathering on the border.
waiting for the hostiles to cross. The pres
ent is the most bloody and bold raid made in
many years. The Indians aus going through
al settled sections where perfect immunity
from attack was felt
