STRAY SOCIETY NOTES.

The ice-cream terror is reported to tave
given place to new and even moro forn.:tf-
able obstacle to the happiness of young ne..
at the summer resorts. 1t is all the s;y.,
now for young gallants to buy little bs.il5cE:
to match their young ladies' dresses.
IT Is now nearly forty years since tfe
fashion of fastening dresses in front CANE
in, and it was then felt to be an immense
convenience and relief, as it enabled ladies
to be independent in the matter of dressing
themselves. Now q withdrawal of this i'm
provement is threatened and the closing CT
dresses in the back is said TO be fast gaining
ground. !,
One of the latest social Innovations. says
an English provincial paper, is the female
butler, q parlor- maid in livery. A good
looking girl in livery Of dark bluc, green
and gold, or scarlet and white looks very
smart, and the waiting is, as a rule, done
more quietly and deftly than by man. This
opens out new field Of employment for
women. -y.l,.
Ar a german at Q hotel at York, Me.,
there were six figures in all, five OF which
were favor figures. One Of them was par
ticularly striking. Behind the screen stood
four gentlemen, and In front of each was q

taking their place at hazard, dropped q
nickel. The gentleman danced with the
young lady who dropped the nickel in the

right of way. was running his train ct the
rate Of twenty-five miles an hour. The
collision occurred within q couple Of miles

Both engineers reversed their engines
but the momentum Of the two trains was
too great and they came together with q
great crash. The engineers. fremen and
trainmen jumped before the trains came
together. Beyond few scratches and
bruises no one was hurt.
The wreck was probably the worst one
the Fort Scott ever experienced. Both
engines were nearly demolished. The

A DESPERATE ASSAULT.

Sister Camille, of the Convent of the Sacred
Heart at Emporia, Severely Beaten By .

EMPoRIA, Kan, Sept 2Z-Wednesday
evening, about dusk, a brutal assault was
made upon Sister Camille, Of the Convent
of the Sacred Heart, in the convent school
house, after the scholars and other teach.
ers had left. She was struck over the
head number of times with siung shot
or other weapon, until knocked uncon-
scious, and then kicked and stamped up.
on until supposed to be dead. Her as.
sailant is supposed to be a young rail-
roader from Terre Haute. Ind, named
Murray. who became infatuated with
her while she nursed him in a
hospital in Terre Haute. and " hich
place his prosecutions forced her to leave
to avoid him. Learning that she was
here. he followed her, and this is the third
attempt he has made upon her life be-
cause she refused to leave the convent and
become his wife. The previous assaults,
as this one, occurred in the school build
ing and were kept from the public in
hopes the police would capture the brute,
and this would not have become known
had not some school children heard the
screams, which caused an inquiry to be
made. The police refused any infor-
nation and the above facts were learned
from Father Leonard, who is in charge
of the church and convent Sister
Camille lies in a precarious condition
and is unable to answer questions as yet.
The criminal is still at large, but as he is
known it is thought he will be captured,
as it will be easy to identify him. one of
his hands having onlv thumb and fore.
finger on it Father Leonard is much
worked up over the affair and seems to
think that the criminal is not likely to be
either captured or punished The people,
so far as acquainted with the matter, are
extremely indignant and denounce the
villain as worthy Of lynching.

The Corn Palace this year Is q much
larger and more elaborately decorated
buil1ing than that OF last year or The year
before. The Corn Palace idea is claimed
to be Sioux City idea, and IL has been
successfully copied in the Fort Worth
(Tex.) Spring Palace. the Creston Qowa)
Bluegrass Palace, etc. Its success in 1887
and 1888 was so distinguished, it attracted
hither such multitude of visitors, that it
has been renewed this year on a largely
extended scale. The building is 240 by $50
feet fronting south on Sixth street, being
thus centrally and conveniently located.
The main wall is 40 feet high. At the
extremities Of the south wall there are
corner towers fanking the projecting
gables. The main feature Of the exterior
is the grand tower, 4s feet square at base,
which rises over the middle Of the south
side. Through the base OF this is the
main entrance. The tower is 17S feet
high and it is fanked by towers 100 feet
high. There are balconies around the
main tower at the heights OF 80 and 100
feet, from which there is an admirable
view Of the city. The roof of the building
has an extreme height of 6S feet above the
ground. F+t fff

covered and dressed with natural prod
ucts, corn Of various colors being. of
course, the predominating material-corn
in all its parts and in all stages Of growth.
Sections of ears of corn are nailed on the
sheeting Of lumber in fanciful patterna
These are relieved with borders and
frinees Of grain, grasses, millet, sorghum
The interior of the building is decorated
with even greater skill and elaboration.
A gallery thirty feet deep runs around
the sides of the building at o height of
eighteen feet above the ground floor.
The space in the gallery and underneath
it is divided into berths, and these have
been adorned mainly by, the lad. es Of
Sioux City, over 800 of whom have gratu.
itously worked daily for nearly thirty
days. They have had the assistance Of
900 men employed by the management
which also supplied the materials.
The artistic effects wrought out with
natural products-corn. grain, grasses,
seeds, flowers, etc-are simply incredible
to those who have not seen them, and they
battle description.
The booths next to the wall under the
gallery are set apart for exhibits. Numer-
Gus counties in Iowa, Nebraska, South
Dakota and other Western States are rep
resented. There are also fine exhibits from
Mississippi and Alabama
The palace is thoroughly equipped with
electric lights, so that the scer0 by night
