Winter cloaks promise to be of gener-
Gus proportions.
There are more varieties of fall mantles
Al~~-> var I~nfnra..--
Hosiery with fine hair-line checks is
shown by the leading houses.
Buttons, parasols and dresses are often
adorned with painted designs.
At all informal morning affairs lace
parasol is more worn than hat.
A long sleeve of Partisan costume
falls far short of reaching the wrist.
Velvet and heavy silk, beaded or plain,
are used for reVers upon thin materials.
MilIiners will use more fruit than flow
ers in trimming both hats and bonnets.
The outer wrap still will have the loose
fronts decorated with large fancy buttons.
Elegantly dressed women have their
boots to correspond to the material of
the dress.
Bugles are to be more used as garniture
this autumn than beads. So say the
mOdistes.
Dresses of striped satin surrah have
the skirt trimmed with narrow gathered
founces bordered with ecru lace.
Blanket jackets in white or cream color,
with gold braid trimmings, are natty, be-
coming and Gkly to be popular.
Drain-pipe, painted and finished and

Centenary of the Constitution.
Philadelphia Times

The seventeenth of September, 1897, is
really more important date in American
history than the fourth of July, 1776.
The Declaration of Independence was
little more than a form of words until
independence was made an accomplished
fact by seven hard years of war, and even
after that the achievement of independ-
ence was of comparatively little conse-
quuence in face of the question what use
was to be made of it. The school histor-
les of ihe United States commonly ended
with the peace Of 1888; in reality the his
tory of the United States only begins
there, and the critical years were those
that led to the adoption of the Federal
Constitution.
1t is eminently fitting, therefore, that
the Tooth anniversary of this most mo-
mentous political event should be duly
celebrated by all who love their country
and its institutions, and it is fitting, also,
that the movement for a suitable COM
memoration should be made by the gov
ernors and representatives of the thirteen
free and independent states that we're
united under the constitution. The con-
flict concerning the Interpretation of this
instrument which the present generation
has passed through, if more vio-
lent, was scarcely more earnest
than the unarmed controversy which
preceded its adoption, and the cordial re-
union of the states, exemplifed in the
presence of so many of their chief magis-
trates in Philadelphia, gives new proof of
the strength and value of the Union
formed under the constitution century
less one year ago.
Philadelphia should begin at once to
prepare for next years celebration, for it
is upon the original Federal capital that
the main responsibility as we'll as the fore
most privilege will fall in this centennial
festival of constitutional government in
| the new world.

eff your name is Cartwright, you have
got good name in this prison. If you
will send these hounds away from here l
will go anywhere with you," said Driscoll,
as ne took both weapons in his left hand,
and allowed the inspector to take him by
the right. After nearly every official had
left the room, Dr1scou laid down the wea-
pons and walked quietly with the inspec-
tor to the rotunda. On the way the in
spector told him that he had committed
a very grave crime and would have to be
punished for it. "But," said the in
spector, II will see that you are not tor
tured."
Driscol was then handcuffed and plac-
ed in the dungeon, and is now feeding on
bread and water. The Immediate cause
of Driscolls revolt was an order of Depu-
| ty Keeper Ashley for him to stop singing
which he refused TO obey. Driscoll has

Rules for Living Well.

The Caterer, in an article on "Good Liv-
ing" considered from a culinary rather
than a moral point of view, sums up the
matter in the following sensible way:
If living we'll consists in living neither
Unanimously nor extensively, in what, then,
lies the secret and how may the man of
moderate means take advantage of it?
The question is not difficult one to an
swer, and we will put that answer in the
shape of few short rules:
l. Buy with judgment.
z. Buy the best, for the best is always
the cheapest.
3. Let your economy regulate the guam
tity, not the quality.
4. Let your cook be cook, and one
that knows how to utilize what is now
thrown to the dogs, or otherwise wasted
.. Study simplicity in the number of
the dishes, and variety in the character
of the meals
3. Let the housewife be watchful
enough to trace the leaks that are liable
to spring in every larder.
l. Let the mistress be indeed the head
OF her own household and of her own
kitchen.

and the red-hot pieces scattered in a
hundred directions. The majority of
them struck the water and sank with a
kissing noise. Several of the fragments
were seen to alight on sandbar that is
but q short distant below the Davis
island dam. The gentlemen kept
their knowledge of the falling meteor
to themselves, in the hope that they
would be successful in finding some of
the pieces. They searched next day, but
without success, as the river had risen
slightly and the sandbar was almost COM
pletely submerged. Two days ago the
river had fallen so low that the bar was
well up out of the water again. The gen.
tlcmen had got a skiff, pulled across to
the bar, and then diligently set to work
in search of the celestial visitor. One
portion of the bar had been slightly
washed away. Here they discovered
two Of the sunken pieces, that had
been partially exposed by the
washing of the flowing water. To verify
their belief that the pieces were portion
of the meteor they were taken to scien-
fist. He examined them and said that
there was no doubt that they were frag-
ments of meteor, and that he had never
before seen similar specimens that had
been SO much consumed by the heat
The finding of the specimens only be-
came known to-day at Bellevue, and the
residents are now planning to make a
more thorough search, in the hope that
some of the larger pieces may be I'M
oarthed. The two pieces that were found
were little larger than a brick and are
of brownish color, and their appear
ance indicates that they had been sub
jected to the most intense heat.

Pieces of Meteor.

Two residents Of Bellevue, on the Fort
Wayne railroad, have in their possession
two unusually fine fragments of meteor
which sailed over the village short time
since, says the PIttsburg Chronicle. Sew
eral weeks ago Mr.. Fay and Edward
Wright, of Bellevue, were returning home
at night during severe rain and thun-
der storm. They were passing along the
brow of 4 hill near Bellevue, overlooking
the Ohio river, where their attention was
suddenly attracted by a brilliant light in
the heavens north of them. The obi
was moving through the air at
q fearful velocity, and scarcely
had their attention been at
tracted to it when it swept by them about
two hundred feet, as they thought. over
their heads. AS the object passed so
near them it seemed of great size, and
they concluded that it was meteor. It
continued on in its course, moving in a
southerlJ direction, until almost over the
Ohio river. 1t then suddenly exploded

A CONVICT AT BAY
Overcome by Kindness When Threats Were of
no Avail.
New York Times

no Avail
New York Times
A convict caused a great commotion in
the state prison here last Tuesday, writes
Trenton, n. j., correspondent to the
Times. In the afternoon the alarm sig
nal was rung in the prison for the first
time in many years, and in an instant. al
most, deputy keeper and guards crowded
IN the brush shop, whence the alarm
came.
They found all the prisoners at work
except James DriscOll, powerful con-
Wet, oged % years, who had been sent to
Trenton for two years from Passaic for
burglary. He stood in one corner near
the elevator, armed with a heavy chisel
and a long needle. In front of him stood
two deputy keepers, covering him with
their heavy revolvery. The first thing
was to clear the shop of prisoners, which
was safely done, and then the head keep
er stepped up to Briscoll, around whom
a dozen keepers were clustered with drawn
reyolvers.
"Driscoll," he said, "if you don't lay
those things down in five minutes we will
shoot"
''Shoot and be hanged. I will have one
life anyway" replied Driscoll, logged
ly.
The keeper held his watch in his hand,
and told off the minutes as they slowly
passed.
wo-three-four-"
Don't shoot" at this moment interpos-
ed Prison Inspector Cartwright, who was
an eyewitness of the scene and whose
word IS law in the prison, 'give him time
to consider"
Arguments were used in order to induce
Drlscou to surrender, but without success.
Again did Inspector Cartwright say
"Don't shootl''
Finally, realizing that harsh measures
would have to be resorted to, he started
to leave the room, but as he closed the
door he changed his mind, and returned
with the determination to prevent blood
shed.
''Hold on, wait moment, " he said, as
he advanced toward Driscou despite the
efforts of the keepers to restrain him
''Now, look here, young man." said the IL
spector, as he stood within five feet of tie
prisoner, "you are throwing your life
away. Do you know me?"
mo, don't know you, and don'tWant

Literature in the West.

Sherman recently reports him as saying
ne thinks not enough literary use has
been made of the great story of the settle
ment of the west. The general is about
right. But the trouble in the past has
usually been that when really good lit

Saved by His Wit.

A brigade was encamped near Charles
ton, Va, says Allen f. Hall, in the Grand
Army Signal, and a guard had been de-
tailed to protect the property of the citi-
zens IN the neighborhood, and strict
orders given against foraging or taking
anything without paying for it.
The colonel of one of the regiment
was out one day with his staff, and all OF
a sudden he came upon private of his
regiment with sheep on his back, evil
IDENTIFY just killed. He rode up to the SOL
der and asked him:
"Where did you get that sheep?"
He answered:
Cup here in the field.''
"Did you buy him?"
mo, sir; I just killed him, 500
'Why, don't you know that strict or
ders have been issued against doing any
thing like that?"
eyes, sir, know it, and I will tell you
how it was. was going along the road
whistling the Star Spangled Banner and
this sheep held up his head and locked
straight at me, and said, 'ba-a, ba-a,' and,
sir, up and killed him, as I won't allow
anything to say 'ba-a' at me when I'm
singing or whistling the Star SpangIed
Banner
It is needless to say the colonel told him
to go ahead. The fellows wit saved him
that time.
