Fashion Notes.

Notes.
All sorts of bead .ornamentaCion are
fashionable.
Skirts show a little more fulness
than last year.
The bead decoration continues with
out abatement.
Undraped. pleated or gathered skirts
grow more and more in favor.
Teeth of antediluvian animals are
being utilized for cloak clasps.
The graceful draped skirt dies
slowly. but it is certainly doomed.
Jackets of all kinds are exceedingly
fashionable. both for home and street
wear.
Patent leather shoes, cut low, are in
style for house wear, and call for black
silk stockings.
A simple throat bow without ends,
is the proper finish for the short ben-
net strings of the season.
Undressed kid gloves, with heavily
stitched backs and four buttons, are
fashionable for street a
Rough Goth mantles to match suits
are nov trimmed with black fur and
tail fringes on the tabs in front.
Raw silk stockings with white feet
are in demand now, being warmer
than the spun silk and Lisle thread
hose.
College caps in plush or velvet are
not likely to be popular, as they do not
suit the female face, the hair or the
fringe.
Some one has said that silks are less
worn than formerly, but the record Of
sales at our leading stores proves to
the contrary.
Fancy jackets, including the short
Elton, zouave, Russian and other
shapes, remain popular to wear with
house dresses.
Irish cloaks are not being generally
adopted in England, and will proba-
bly, be used only at night for carriage
wraps and the like.
Buttons are not much used Oh
dresses; some are 70 large that one
must resort to the old hook-and-eye
methods for fastening dresses.
The most popular midwinter wrap
for ladies bids fair to be the ulster,
newmarket, or overcoat of seal or seal
plush cut to resemble a mans over
coat, but with no effort to make it
look masculine or strong minded.
The linseys. that Scotch fabric so
much valued for its wearing quality,
have again made their welcome ap-
pearance in this country. For chill
dren's suits the linsey is unsurpassed.
for it not only wears like iron, but it
will wash perfectly.
A string of pearls around the neck
is the only ornament worn by young
girls for full dress. They may be real
if one is SO fortunate, but Oriental
pearls are worn to a great extent.
The only care to be observed in wear
ing imitation pearls is not to wear too
many.
Sealskin, more worn than ever, is
only enhanced in popular favor by the
number of seal plush wraps, which
initiate it to perfection, but. of course,
lack the warmth and lightness COM
bined in sealskin, and which insures
its lasting popularity.
The variety in trimming materials,
inexpensive, but effective and tasteful
when well chosen, is due to the pluck
and enterprise of American manufac-
turers, who have, by the beauty and
excellence of their productions in mil
inery stuffs, kept back the price Of the
foreign goods.
Black spun silk stockings are fin
ished with unbleached soles, and hand
some fine walking styles have balbrig-
gan feet and black silk tops.

Language OF Compliment.
The common courtesies Of inter-
course among people are always of in
~terest, for they disclose a great deal Of
native character and cultivation.
Rarely are these carried to so high a
point of refinement as among the ladies
of Quito. A late American Minister
to Ecuador gives this specimen of a
message sent by n lady of that city
to another:
Co." she says to her servant, "to
the Sonora So-and-So, and tell her that
she is my heart and the dear little
friend of my soul; tell her that 1 am
dying for not having seen her, and
ask her why she does not come to see
me. Tell her that 1 have been wait
ing for her for more than a week, and
that I send her my best respects and
considerations; and ask her how she
is, and how her husband is, and how
her children are, and whether they are
all well in the family. And tell her
that she is my little love, and ask her
if she will be kind enough to send me
that pattern which she promised me
the other day"

A VERY OLD CHESTNUT.
THE SCHEME ADOPTED BY THE
CUBAN SHARPERS,

CHICAGO, Ill, November ga

In Spanish was recently brought 10
Herman Freund with requsst from
the receiver Of the letter, q wealthy

The letter was postmarktd Havana,

ment service and had absconded to
the United States several months p e.
vious with $3.50, coo in Spanish bonds.
He exchanged The bonds at New Or
leans for United States securities, and
with the securities on his person made
a trip through the States. going as far
north as Birmingham. Becoming sus-
picious that he was being shadowed,
he buried bis stolen wealth in
the vicinity Of Birmingham. He
then Ie'urned to the South,
and at Key West was kidnappsd,
taken to Havsna, and thrown ihto the
government prison. The writer went
on to say thst hs was still in prison.
He had heard, while in Birmingham,
OF the high Standing Of the man be
was addressing, and he offered to give
him one third + the securities If he
would interest himself in securing the
the writer's release. Before anything
could be done, however, it was nee.
essary to negotiate some OF the secure
ties. A plan of the locality where
they were buried was among his bag
gage, which was detained by the
Havana police, and $500 was needed
to release it. II the Birmingham
busint IS man would send the money
the plan would be mailed TO him.

brought to Mr.. FIeund from another
party, and another letter last week

1NDIANAPoLIs, IND, November 28.--
Twenty years ago, in Cherokee coun-
~, Ala Calvin McFee and Joseph B.
HsIdwick quarreled over a tract Of
land, and the latter was killed by the
former. McFee fed the country, and
until q few days ago nothing was
known OF his whereabouts. Immedi-
ately after McFee's disappearance q
brother Of the murdered Hard wick
started in pursuit, and has spent twen-
ty years in searching for the murder
or. He obtained traces Of McFee ct
various points, but was unable to
to locate him until recently, when he
found his man at Southwest City, Mo-,
and proceeded to have him arrested:
The arrest caused great excitement
among the cowboys Of that region, and
for time it was feared that an at
tempt at rescue would be made, but it
was finally decided TO send two Of
their number with McFee to see that
Justice was done him. The prisoner,
bis revengeful pursuer, deputy mar
sbal and the two cowboys reached
this city tonight, and passed on for the
South. A tHardwiCk's request, he has
been handcuffed TO McFee, and the
two travel in convict style.

a Peculiar Ca.a

CHICAGO, ILL November 26.- John
Mullen and Peter McHugh, police
men, are at present in the county
jail under the debtors act on judg
ment secured against them two years
ago. In 1882 these officers arrested
one Charles Spangborn and dubbed
him severely btfore lodging him IN
the station. He brought an action for
trespass and false imprisonment and
recovered judgment for $4,000
against each in the Superior Court.
On June 80, 1883, they were arrested
on casa and Spangborn paid one
weeks board. By some arrangement
they were released and the board
money repaid. They attempted to es-
cape under the iosolvent debtors act,
but were refused, the Court holding
that malice had been proven, 80 they
then appealed to the Superior Appel
la'e and Supreme Courts and each
affirmed the decision of the lower
court. In some way they were never
committed un'il November Gath, when
en- order was issued by Judge Prem
dergast, at the request OF the attorney
for the injured man, and they were
committed to Jail today. The prisoners
have p titiontd to be released on a
writ of habeas corpus.

LONDON has had this week two sick
ening sensations-frst, the prosecu.
ton by Mrs. Adams of her father, the
Lord Chief Justice Ooleridge, for libel,
he having charged in a letter to
Adams, her husband, that he had
contrived during 'his acquaintance
with Miss Coleridge to meet her in a
darkened room for the purpose of
compromising her, and thus compell-
ing her to marry him In order TO pro-
tect her reputation. In addition to
this letter, certain documents have
been put in evidence to substantiate
the allegation that the Lord Chief
Justice persistently aimed to shift the
burden OF his daughters maintenance
10 the shoulders Of others, before her
marriage, so that he might use the
money rightfully belonging to her in
supporting his peerage. The second
case is even worse than this. II
is that Of Lady Colin Campbell,
who sues for divorce from
her husband, to whom she was mar
ried less than three years ego, because
he beat and abused her and commu-
nicated loathsome disease that put
her life in jeopardy. The story Of her
patience under these provocations is
only the recital OF what many women
have had to and still are suffering for
the sake, as in her case, Of duty. But
she at last awakened to sense Of her
rights and to know that her duty did
not lie In very hell.
