Points for Ladies

Emerald flower pins are fashionable.
Wooden lace is scenin all colors and
widths.
Jackets of varied shapes and styles
are fashionable.
Braid and fancy gaLoons are in high
favor for dress trimmings.
The newly imported French artificial
flowers are exceedingly beautiful
Autumn wedding cards show no ma
terial change in fashion shape or style.
Fancy work baskets on which much
embroidery appears are being largely
patronized.
The old English hOllow-ware, in
form of coils and knots has been re-
viyed in gold jewclry.
Rhine stones, turquOise', garnetS and
moonstones are largely employed in
silver iewelry.
The fashion of tea drinking at five
o'clock has created a demand for snowy
tea aprons of sheer white muslinS beau
tifully embroidered.
The moonstone is just now popular
in jewelry. 1t most often appears in
form of face or head, set round with
small pearls or diamonds.
Scotch pebble jewelry is again in
fashion; this time the stones are set in
sections flush with the surface, giving
a finish of varicolored marquetry.
Decorative buckles and clasps are by
no means confined to ladies belts, but
find places on wraps, dress bodiceS and
drapcries in large sizes, while smaller
ones are popular on neck ribbons and
garters.
Silver sugar dishes are sometimes in
boat shape with handle on either side;
again they simulate wicker baskets, and
yet again they are tiny round bowls
without covers and showing heavily
chased finish. N J. WOrLd.

Rev. D. R. Lowell, Of the Ash Grove
Methodist Church in this city, read a
papct before small but attentive gath
ering Yesterday morning in the lecture
room of thc4Iudson Avenue Methodist
Church. He dwelt upon the different
WAYS that people present themselves
for marriage the sad results CT some
marriages, and the amusing incidents
that occur. Mr. Lowell said: "All that
pertains to The work of the ministry is
of interest, and profitable to us as we
exchange our thoughts in conference.
Every minister has various experiences
in starting people in married life.
Sometimes these experiences are pleas
ant. sometimes sad and amusing, ant
oftentimeS very annoying.
zone of tie strange cases was where
q colOred nan had become enamOred OF
an Irish girl, and they finally presented
themselves for marriage. After the
ceremony had been performed they left,
apparently happy. On the day follow
inc the man returned and wanted the
marriage undone, but all | could do
was simply to refer them to a lawyer.
Another case that is amusing, and yet
sad. is where | once married a young
couple, and when | had pronounced
them man and wife the young man paid
me one dollar, and explained he was
unable to pay more, as he had just lost
what little money he had possessed. A
short time .fterward his wife died and
this Young nan came to borrow two
dollars fropfm me, promising to return 1t
in a day or two; but instead of return
inc it he went to a neighbOring minis
ter and was lemarried on my money. /
was once called to a house TO perform
the rites of marriage, having the certitl-
cate, all made out, with me. At the
house the friends were all waiting The
table was spread with asumptuous sup
plv. When twas time for the cere-
monv the bride came forward, not lean
inc on the arm Of the groom, but on the
contrary she vas supporting him. tie
was so much under the influence OF
Iiouor as to be unable to walk. At my
request he was seated and had talk
with the INTENDED bride and learned
that she was the daughter of rich and
respected parents. Her father was to
shower dowry Of ten thousand dollars
on her at the time OF her marriage, and
she insisted on marrying this poor
drunker 'etch yho did not own a dol
Lar l ItI6zz=seflsed and left the house,
taking tx certificate with me, as did
not deem it right to marry man that
did not know wha, he was about.
"These are some Of the few cases
that have come to my notice. Often
times I am compelled to turn couples
away that present themselves for mar
riage for various reasons. The fees OF
ministers vary for performing the cere-
mony. Sometimes they receive as high
as twenty dollars and more, and range
from that as low IS one dollar and
nothing. Oftentmes some ask to have
the fee trusted, which is always done.
Some frequently agree to pay more, and
others never pay at all. "-Ald1"y EI-

YOUTH.

poem by Robert Burns, hitherto unpub
Iished has been found in one of the poet
manuscript excise books, and is given to tn
world by the Dramatic ReUielC of London
which indorSes it as genuine. 1t is entitled
youth" and IS as follows:
Youth is the vision of morn
That flies the coming day;
1t is the blossom on the thorn.
Which wild winds sweep away;
1t is the image of the sky
In CLASSY waters seen,
When not cloud appears to fly
Across the blue serene.
But when the waves begin to roar
And lift their foamng head,
The morning stars appear no more
And all the heaven Is fled.
'Tis feeting as the passing rays
OF bright electric fire
That fash about with sudden blaze
And in that blaze expire.
1t is the mornings gentle gale
That as it swiftly blows
Scarce seems to sigh across the vale
Or bend the blushing rose.
But soon the gathering tempests soar
And all the sky detOrm;
The gale becomes the whirlwnd roar,
The sigh an angry storm
For Care and Sorrows morbid gloom,
And heart-cOrrOding Strife,
And Weakness, pointing to the tOmD,
Await the Noon Of Life.

A HOLE IN HIS MEMORY.

7 have heard of a boy who lived long ago
For such boys are not otfound nowadays you
know . IL :
Whose friends were as troubled as they could
be
Because of a hole in his memory.
A charge from his mother went in one gay,
And the boy said: Yes, and hurried away
But he met man with aSuscal top, ,.,o
And his mothers words through that noie
did drop,
A lesson went in, but, ah me! ah me;
For a boy with hole in his memory!
When he rose to recite he was All Ill douut'
Every word of that lesson had fallen OUT
And at last, at last-oh, terrible iQt:-
He could sneak but two words II forgot!
WOuld it not be sad indeed to see
A boy with a hole in his memory C..,.,,,,,

Edmund Clarence Stedman, who
made love match when a mere boy,
running away with the pretty girl who
had fascinated him, has kept up the
romance ever since, and he is now, al
though comparatively young, grand
father. He does not, after the manner
of many singers, reveal all his poetry
to the outside world and preserve his
prose for indoors employment What
ever he writes his wife hears first and
she is, he says, his gentlest and yet his
most exacting critic. \. Times

Shortly after the recent burglaries oc-
CURED in this city, Officers Smalley and
Whitney went to Colorado in search Of
the thieves. Readers of THE LEADER
will remember that while the officers were
at Carr station a brakeman secreted two
fellows in an empty car, and that he was
given a ring for hiding them until the
train reached Denver. The conductor
discovered what the brakeman had done
and caused him to be discharged. AT
that time THE LEADER stated that the
two men who thus secured secret trans
p~ortation to Denver were doubtless the
burglars, and recent developments have
proven the theory correct
The other day the conductor managed
to obtain possession of the ring. 1t wa
brought to this city and was identified as
one of those which had been stolen. The
conductor has seen the men almost daily
about Denver, and it is believed they can
be readily captured.
Justice Fisher issued the necessary pre-
liminary papers yesterday and Officer
Smalley left for Denver. The men have
not been arrested, but if the officer has
good luck he will secure them in time To
return Monday evening.

THE COOPERATIVE STORE.
A Meeting Held Last Evening to Eject
an Organization.


For some time past there has been q
movement in operation for the ~organiza-
ton of a cooperative store in Cheyenne.
1t has met with the sympathy of many
prominent citizens, as it was their opinion
that such an institution. if carried on by
the right men in the right place, on bust
ness principles and on an economic basis,
would meet with success.
The movement eliminated last evening
in an informal meeting at the court house,
for the purpose of initiating the enter
prise.
Mr.. james Magoon called the meeting
TO order, when it was moved hat Judge
A. B. East be elected temporary chair
man of the organization. Mr.. Joseph
Granger was elected secretary. On mo-
ton a committee of three was appointed
for the purpose of drafting a constitution
and bylaws, and on motion it was decided
that a meeting would be held next Thurs
day evening, when the committee will
submit its report The secretary wa in
structed to notify the stockholders by
postal card of the time and place of meet
ing.
After some pertinent remarks on the
subject Of cooperation. the meeting ad-
journed.
