Most Partisan costumes this fall are of
the Directoire period, having the coat
short in front with immense lappels and
swallow tails down to the edge of the
skirt beghind and leg o'-mutton sleeves.
The waists are short and the bustle-the
dear old hustle of these ten years or more
has like the Booium softly and silently
vanished away. In all these Directoire
gowns the effort is to make garments very
cllnging and narrow, and the petticoats
beneath have in consequence lost their
starch and wilted like a flower. Indeed.
all fashionable women now are dressed
from top to toe in silk underwear.

Oh, the blooming, booming hustle,
The tlouncing, bouncing hustle,
The heaving, weaving hustle
That the maid of fashion wears;
How it qpaps and quakes and qulvers,
How 1t oscillates and shivers,
How it shocks all modest livers
When in public it appears.
When extended and expanded
As by fashion is demanded,
L think ifyOu are candid
With me you will agree,
That this absurd illusion
Is n snare and n deluslon,
And conducive to confusion
LII very nlBnu degree,
Mrs. LangtrY is the best dressed actress
in the world, for she wears as magnificent
costumes off the stage as on, and that's
what none of the others do. Mrs. Paran-
Stevens used to relate that the first time
she ever saw the Jersey Lily was Just
after Millais had sent her portrait to the
spring exhibition and all London was
raving about it. 1t was on the occasion
of a tea given by the Life Guards and all
fashionable London was present. When
the announcement went about that the
new beauty had arrived people struggled
to get a glimpse of her, as they would
not have done for majesty itself. She
was in the prime of her beauty, young.
slender, with a skin of cream and roses,
and still shy before the eyes of admirIng
crowds. She wore a rich black hat heavy
with plumes, and the simplest sort of a
black silk gown cut square in front and
showing her milky throat. London made
a great joke of that black gown, for the
beauty was desperately i~mpecunious there,
and it was her only one. She had three
waists to thigh for street, square for
afternoon function, and low for evening.
The earl of Dudley went quite wild over
her, and insisted that the countess should
have her dine. The countess was. and is
still, a famous beauty herself, and may
not have relished a rival; at all events she
SAID very rudely to the Lily, when the in
vltation was given. Il beg you will not
wear black, Lord Dudley dlslikes it of all
things. Then | cant come" answered
Langtry laughing, because it's the only
gown | have" So the Langtry didn't
dine there, but now she has more splen-
did costumes thar Lady Dudley ever

Captain Sam Brown has issued a
card, in which he denies that he said
that the Dryers had Runnymede
pulled in the Derby of 1882. and that
Garrison pulled Blue Wing in the
Brooklyn handicap of 1887. He
wished it distinctly understood
that he will not stand spon-
sor for all the reports that have
been circulated in reference to turf
scandal, and concluded by stating
that he is ready at any time to go be-
fore any court or jockey club and
make an affidavit of what he has said
on these matters, or what reports he
has heard, and justify himself and
others whom this misconstrued gossip
may affect.
1t is strange coincidence that
serious charges of corrupt practices on
the turf should be made against prom
inent owners and jockeys simultane-
ously here and in England. These
charges, too, are presented not by
some obscure individual, but in each
case by men holding a leading posi-
ton in the racing world. The investi-
CATION which must necessarily follow
them will no doubt explain away a
good deal of the ill-feeling produced
by Captain Browns accusation, but !
am afraid the charge made against
Sir George Chetwynd and his jockey,
G. Wood, by Lord Durham, on the
other side, will not be so easily
refuted. ANGLICE.

The Kinne 1. eception.

A very pleasant reception was ten
dered yesterday afternoon to Mrs.
Elizabeth Darcy Kinne, Past Nation
al Commander of the Womans' Re-
lief Corps, by Stanton Relief Corps,
Frank Bartlett Relief Corps, Logan
Relief Corps and Gelcich Relief Corps,
at the Masonic Hall. The Hall was
handsomely decorated with bunting,
smilax and violets. Mrs. Alice H.
Fitch, President of Stanton Corps, de-
livered the address of welcome and
introduced Mrs. Kinne to the audi
ence. The members of the several
corps present arose simultaneously
and greeted her with a purely military
salute. Mrs. Kinne made few brief
remarks thanking the members TO,
their courtesy and congratulated them
for their success in organizing such
efficient associations. Mrs. Brown
and Mrs. Brunson responded to Mrs
Kinue's address. At the conclusion
of the remarks the audience was en-.
tertained by a so,o by Mrs. Beeson
an instrumental solo by Miss Marsh
all and an instrumental solo by Miss
Fitch. Refreshments were served
and the entire afternoon was spent in
social visiting. AS darkness began tt
draw on, the meeting was adjourned
and all went home feeling that they
had enjoyed a pleasant afternoon.

TOPICS OF THE TURF.
Interesting Notes by the Sporting
Contributor.

The great thirty-mile contest to-day,
if it don't rain. The majority OF the
people interested seem to favor An
derson. The question is, how badly
will the record be beaten?
Inspector B and Pontiac are pro-
nounced fit to stand preparation.
Adelene is the latest tip for the
Suburban. Weight makes her favor

J. B. Haggin declines to sell Jockey
Hamilton's release to Captain Brown.
Orifamme is considered to be a
sure starter for the Suburban, and
will be heavily supported in the
books.
Jim Gore is said to have wintered
in great shape and should be an
important factor in some of the all
aged events this season.
If Terra Gotta comes back to his
early form of last Spring, he will be a
dangerous horse in some of the big
handicaps this season.
Montana Regent is not entered in
any of the big Spring events, but will
be taken up late in the Spring, and
trained for some of the big fall handi-
caps.
Charles Marvin says that the Palo
Alto colts will not 60 East next season,

MET THE EMERGENCY.
How a Real Estate Man Got Out
of 4 Tight Place.

Take this $3.50 and put it to my
credit. I'm sick of the way the other
bank treats me. Here, Pll draw my
check for $4,000; that's within few
dollars of what l have on deposit over
there. You can put that to my credit,
too, and give me book"
The speaker was a well-knOwn real
estate hustler. of course the receiving
teller to whom he applied was only too
glad TO add new depoSitOr to the list.
A few minutes before the closing hour
in rushed Mr.. Real Estate Hustler
again. This time he applied to the
cashier. Give me a certified check
for $4,000 have on deposit. | want to
use the money right off," The check
was drawn and given him. Out he
went. lie must have got the check
cashed at a third bank. AT any rate
the men employed on tenament block
who had not been paid for weeks got
what was due them and strike was
averted.
At bank No. 2 the cashier who had
given the certified check had the after
thought to telephone bank No. l, which
the new customer said he had formerly
deposited, to see if he was all right.
Hasn't done business with us for
six MONTHS" was the reply that sent
diSmay to the cashiers heart. He called
a meeting of the directors within an
hour. and they decided to move at once
in the matter. Mr.. Real Estate Hustler
was found calmly sitting on brick pile
in front of his partially completed tena-
ment. 'Well, gentleman" he said after
being asked what he "meant," 1.-The
best security that l can give you that
the check will be paid you will be a
fourth mortgage on this property.
expect $4,000 TO be sent me within a
few days, and then I'll pay you" The
directors fumed and stOrmed. but that
was the best that could be made
out of the situation. They de-
cided to wait, and watch
was put upon the movements of
Mr.. Real Estate hustler i'll the mean
time and see that he didn't leave town
for California to benefit his health.
Sure enough the money came and then
a week and the check was taken up.
The case was not one of intentional dis
honesty. Mr.. Real Estate Hustler had
the promise of the $4,000. 1t didn't
come and he must pay off his men or give
up a building project in which he had
full confidence and had invested his all.
He hit upon this plan of meeting the
emergency and securing a delay. 1t
took a little nerve, but he carried it
through. The operation is not dissiml-
lar to the one by which a certain firm
recently obtained $4,000 on draft,
only the draft was not met, and the
matter is now being Investigated by the
grand jury.

a Notable Fact.

There is one feature of Minneapolis
business streets that is, perhaps, as
often remarked by strangers as any
other. and that is the bright, handsome,
unique signs seen everywhere. A great
traveller recently said: II can tell a
thriving city by the signs displayed
over the DOORS" Now, there must be
an artist of rare ability in town con-
stantly at work designing new signs,
and fixing up old ones to make this
feature noticeable. There is, and his
name is E. E. Peterson, and his address
is 220 Nicollet avenue, Minneapolis.
His work in this line has made him
famous. Mr.. Peterson has an exhibit at
the Exposition that attracts general at
tentiOn Ivy the elegant. elaborate de-
signs shown. and by the rare taste and
genuine artistic merit displayed in their
makeup. There is nothing like it in
the building, and nothing in the whole
country to equal it. Mr.. Peterson
guarantees to please any one who will
place an order with him, and his repu-
tation for promptness has been estab-
lished by years of experience. His
great Sign Emporium, at 220 Nicollet,
Is always open to people wishing to see
his work.

THE FOURTH PARTY.
Something of the Farm and Labor
Legislative Candidates.

The Farm and Labor party, which met
in convention during the past week,
placed in the field the following tickets
for the three legislative districts into
which Hennepin county is divided {:
TWenty-eIghth district - George A.
Chase. TWenty-ninth district-ThOmaS
McNeigh, John Arneson, Michael
MOgan. Peter Moran. John Mccarthy
and William Hosp. Thirtieth district
Thomas II. Lucas, Mons Baker, L. K.
Campbell and j. +. Griffin.
1t will be seen by looking over the
list of nominees on the three tickets
that several of them are persons who
have participated in the scramble for
office before. Among them are q. \.
Chase, L. II. Lucas and Thomas Nc
Weigh, who were nominees on the Dem
Ocratic ticket two years ago; John A.
ArneSOn and Mons Baker, who were
nominees on the Republican ticket, and
William Hosp, who is a nominee
on the Democratic legislative ticket
which was placed in nOmi-
nation about a week ago. 1t
is said that the five remaining men,
beTs. Wis, Campbell, Moran, Griffin,
Morgan. and Mccarthy, have never be-
fore succeeded in getting a nomination,
although three OF them have figured with
the Democratic party and the other two
with the Republican party. The lead
ers of this party were badly divided on
the question of whether it was advisa-
bic to put a ticket in the field this fall
or not. 1t was generally thought that,
owing to the fact that party lines would
be drawn so closely during the coming
campaign. it would be better to
act as an Independent party and
vote only for the best men on the tickets
already in the field. button investigation
it was found that the entire Republican
legislative ticket was made up in the
interest of boodlers and monOpOlists, so
there was nothing left to be done except
to either indOrse the Democratic legiSla-
tive ticket or place one in the field them
selves. This latter horn OF the dilemma
was finally adopted, it being thought
that it would allow the members more
independence in voting for whom they
considered the best men, if no alliances
were entered into with either the DEM
ocr1tic or RpDrhlicau OartipS

Gus Situation,
From present appearances there IS
liable to be trouble again between the
Minneapolis switchmen and the rail
roads. For some days past the men
have been circulating petitions asking
for an increase in wages around the
various railroad headquarters. The
petition asks that wages be Increased
about 10 per cent. and thus bring the
scale up to what it is in Chicago, Kan
sas City. St. Louis and other
large cities. where the switchmen
receive 500 a day, and the night men

ayers of all the roads centerlng IN Min

AN IMPROMPTJ CIRCUS
Raised Over the Possession of a
Candy Store.

There was pleasant little circus
down on Washington avenue south,
near Sixth avenue, last evening, i'll
which TOmEyons, we'll known around
the city, and Mr.. Gherbeck. the owner
of candy store there, played prominent
parts. Lyon and hisagent,o one Bradbury
were in possession of Gherback's store.
and held the fort despite his frantic eff
forts to gain admission. From all that
could be learned the case stood about in
this way: Lyons, through his agent,
had traded to Gherback for his store
and stock, two lots, said to be of con-
siderable value. The agent had told
Gherback that if he could not raise 800
on the lots inside of half an hour the
trade was not go. Gherback,
seeing as he though, a chance. to
make money, jumped at the offer,
and turned his store over to Lyons.
Last evening he found that the lots were
worthless, and going to the store. de
manded the return of the property.
Lyons did not feel disposed to trade
back. Then the struggle for possession
began. Lyons finally got possession and
kept it, much to the annoyance of Cher
