Here is hat that went to see Mary An
derson the other evening. 1t sat in box
and was worn by pink and white blonde.
Ii was very large, it was sumptuous, it was
eccentric. 1t was gazed at through quiz
zing glasses, it was very handsome. IL was
made of black velvet, the brim forming an
aureole. The crown was embroidered with
gold braid and was surmounted by bird
of paradise with dazzling yellow plumes
outspread.
Here Is hat that was one of the attrac-
tions at DAILY matinee 1t was large and
fiat, of black felt trimmed with loops of
black ribbon and having long black plume
crossing the front and sweeping the shout
der on one side.
Here is hat from the Broadway after
noon parade. 1t was OF gray velvet, the
broad brim lifted on the left side. A boa
of gray fur was twisted about it forming
its only trimming The boa was then
wound around the neck, its long ends
hanging down upon the gown. 1t is quite
the proper thing just now to use one and
the same boa for throat wrap and hat trim
ming.
Here is a hat from the mllliner's window.
1t is of laurel green velvet, low crowned,
wide trimmed A wide pie'e of laurel
green ribbon brocaded with gold is passed
straight about it,, caught together with
jeweed pin at the back and then falls in
floating streamers, probably to the waist
line
Green is the millinery color. Black comes
in a good second. One never goes wrong
with ostrich plumes, and the more loosely
they float the more they curl about the cars
and the hair and the lower they droop on the
cloak the more closely they follow the style
One never goes wrong with fur, but If 1t
trims the hat, it should be part of the same
which makes the muff and trims the gown.
One can go wrong with wells. The veil
rests not from its mad chase after the pecu-
liar and the new. 1t reaches the chin and
often has ruching or a frill about the
bottom. 1t may be dotted, but it is apt to
be lowered in big, ambitious sprays.

THE. FREIGHT TRAFFIC:
READING penn, January 3d.-CSaI and
freight traffic while in full operatio1l on
the Reading Road is not as brisk as it was

this likewise, has its effects On traffic.

Cable and distributed among all the en-
ployes here, thanking them in the name of
the company for their loyalty and faithful
ness, and promising that their good conduct
should not be forgotten. The men in this

NELLIE MCDOWELL.
Her Contempt Case vanishes from the
Police Court.

Police Court
On Saturday last in Judge Lawler's Court.
saws the San Francisco Call, the contempt
case of Nellie Mcdowell was dismissed for
no reason in particular that was apparent.
She is the woman who, during the exami-
nation of Kate Clarke, the San Diego
woman charged with harboriDg minor in
a house OF ill-repute, surreptitiously left
the Courtroom after she had been ordered
by the Court to remain in attendance, as
charges of perjury would be entered against
her.
She escaped to Sacramento, where she
has since been conducting questionable
house, and bench warrant was issued for
her arrest for contempt in having disre-
garded the order of Judge Lawler and
made her escape after she had been told to
remain. 1t has been very well known to
the police that she was at Sacramento. and
on one occasion, when she was wanted as a
witness in the Clarke case in the Superior
Court, she was brought to this city to
testify.
On December 18th last her case first came
up in Judge LAWYERS Court, and she ap-
peared and had it continued, and gave bail
IN 500.
A number. of cont;nuances have since
been allowed, and the case was once more
set for Saturday. The policeman who had
charge of the case says that he was in at
tendance upon the Court, and that when
the case was reached it was found that it
had been marked dismissed"
The case obtains peculiar interest from
the fact that Nellie Mcdowell is considered
by the police as an exceedingly dangerous
woman.
A member of the police force of Sacra-
mento writes that two young girls have
been rescued from her house at that place.
He also says that she is the woman who
was implicated in a murder in Nevada in
1864 with a well-known character called
=" Three,fngered Jack Mcdowell and two
other men. The men were all hanged, and
the woman saved her neck by turning
States evidence.
Why the charge against Miss Mcdowell
was dismissed in the Police Court without
examination is sorely perplexing the police
officer who was prosecuting it and has for
several weeks been dancing attendance
upon the Court.
