virginia Taylor Released rrem sair.

Virginia Taylor, convicted at March
term of county court of Accomac, of
numbering her husband and sentenced
to five years in. penitentiary was re.
leased last Saturday from Jail, in which
she has been confined while her case
was being considered by the circuit
court. Judge Gunter in overriding the
verdict decided that the county court
erred in its instructions To the jury In
this to wit: that the, jury might find
the accused guilty of any degree Of
murder. es tile statutes of Virginia
define killing by poison, as murder in
first degree. The jury should therefore
either have fourd Mrs. Taylor guilty Of
murder in first degree or acquitted her.
The verdict being set aside. Mrs. Taylor
could not be tried for any offence great
er than that Of Which she WAS convicted
at q previous trial and Judge Gunter
deciding that the nature of the case did
not warrant conviction Of less CT
fence she was of course released. In
fact her discharge from custody has
been considered a foi'egone conclusion
from the day she was convicted as the
verdict of the jury in finding her guilty
of murder in the second degree was
known to be unwarranted by the facts
in the case.

The Empire Hat.

The special girl is just now under a
shade. 1t is oftenest shade of soft felt
and great glossy plumes. 1t is perched
sufficiently well on her head to show the
knot at the back, and sufficiently off her
forehead to make the aureole of curls do
their duty. What is it? 1t is the
enormously large Empire hat, burdened
with nine plumes, and with it's brim bent
so it suits the face of the wearer; it may
be fastened down like poke bonnet; it
may be fared up at one side and the long
plumes allowed to touch the cheek on
the other, or it may, in an arrogant man
ner, have its front uplifted, so that in
her Corporal coat mademoiselle looks the
picture of the great General himself. An
Empire hat is by no means an economi-
cal adjunct to ones toilet, because it
must be exactly the same color as the
coat and is usually made to order, 80 that
tho brim, while it is wide enough, does
not make the small woman look as if she
were blessed taper walking about with
an extinguieher upon her. These are
the only hats with which the Hading
wells should be worn, for they are as
much out of place on a round hat or a
bonnet as would be tulle gown at
breakfast r. New York Letter to Louis

A Pioneer Editor Dead.

New YORK, January 27.-Chester A.
Washburn, of Morristown, N. j., died
suddenly of apoplexy yesterday. He was
one of the California pioneers in 1850.
and for several years was editor of
the Alta California. In 1865 he was
appointed commissioner to Paraguay and
later was made United States Minister to
that country. In 1868 he returned to this
country and has since devoted himself to
literary pursuits. Mr.. Washburn was
one of seven brothers. The oldest
brother, Israel Washburn, was once
Governor of Maine. Elias b. Washburn
was Minister to France during the
Franco Prussian war. Cadwallader
Washburn was at one time Governor of
Wisconsin, and his youngest brother,
W. D. Washburn, is the present Senator
elect from Minnesota.

A Reception to be Given to Them
To. bay at Pasadena.
To-day the Board of Trade at Pasadena
will give formal reception to Alvan q.
Clark and Prof. Pickering. Invitations
have been issued to number Of promi-
nent citizens here, the cards bearing the
signatures of Messrs. Delos Arnold,
William F. Cheney, E. L. Cosger, @. F..
Holder and J. Barting. The ceremonies
will consist of lunch at the Raymond

evening at the Carlton.
In conversation with HERALD man,
Mr.. Clark said that no definite arrange
ment had yet been made regard
ing the mammoth Telescope, but that
something will be decided on on
Tuesday. The difficulty appears to be of
a financial order, but Mr.. CLARK says that
he will take the contract if it is offered
to him by the trustees acting for the
Southern California University. They
are willing to make terms with him IL
their capacity as trustees for the telescope
funds, but as there has not been enough
money subscribed yet Mr.. Clark cannot
undertake the work on such an arrange
ment.
