Points for the La dies to Consider In

Points for the La dies to Consider In
Selecting their WardrObes.
Soft silk is most used for tea gowns.
White crepe cloth combines pretty
with surah or China silk.
The Princess gown, either ehort or
trained, is the robe of the day in Paris.
A moonstone heart, set about with Ola.
monds, is the handsomest new pendant.
Bands of embroidery should be used
with reserve if the garment is to be saved
from vulgarity.
The frill of lace, net crepe, silk, cotton,
or wool is each day leaving bit more OF
the fsir throat exposed.
Something new in neck gear is the
scarf of the same silk and wool flannel
used for handsome ekirts.
Bunched up overskirts are going to be
worn. The are in exact initiation OF
Dresden China sheperdess.
The summer stocking par excellence
is of fine black lisle thread, with toes.
heels and upper part of the leg all in
white. e
A magnificent new elk is called dam
ask matlasse, and has the flowers in high
relief, as though heavily embroidered
upon 1t.
Some new rich gowns for afternoon Of
reception wear have trained skirts under
trained polonaises that open all dowI
the front.
There is threat that the full-dTapet
skirts are to reappear, when muslin ant
cambria and gauze shall be the only mid
summer wear.
High shoulders are still fashionable

Spoiled the Fun.

Officer Connolly broke up Negro ball
yesterday morning down on San Fer
nando street near the end of Upper
Main. The colored dem monde of the
city assembled together, accompanied by
their male retainers, and began to cele-
brate with high kicking and an occss-
ional knock down and drag out. At last
when party of white macqs joined the
party, with their pockets full of rocks
and knives, the razors began to fly
through the air and the neighbors begged
to have an end put to the festivities.
AS there were no other officers within
calling distance, Connolly demanded the
assistance of couple of citizens who
lived in the vicinity, and the three
rushed into the room. In few seconds
the place was cleared, men and women,
white and black trampling upon one an
other in their eagerness to get out of the
doors and windows. No arrests were
m de, but the dance came to a sudden
end.

SACRAMENTO, June 8-This afternoon
the body of a man was found near the
railroad track between this city and
Davisville. Investigation showed that
the man had been foully murdered. His
skull had been crushed in several places
with some blunt instrument, and lying
near the body was boulder covered
with blood. 1t is presumed that
this was the murderous weapon.
The body had been dragged
about twenty feet and thrown
face downward, and an old barley sack
thrown over the head. There were evil
dences of terrible struggle. The object
was evidently robbery, as the victims
pockets were all turned inside out. Let
ters, found in the pockets of the MUIR
dered man, indicated that his name was
Milo Hawes, and it is thought that he
has brother living in Los Angeles. He
was probably farm lsborer and it is be-
ieved that he was murdered for his
money by a tramp. Constable Tod
hunter arrested two men on suspicion
and lodged them in jail. An inquest will
be held tomorrow.

The E,gnt.hour Movement

SAN Francisco, June 9.-Todav, the
second meeting Of the Pacific Eight Hour
League was held here. Delegate Cole,
of Los Angeles, said that the employers
in his city were in favor of the eight-hour
movement, and he did not think the
public, in general, would oppose it.
They needed to be educated up
to the necessity for the move
ment, however. Once they became
thoroughly cognizant of its object, he
thought the great majority of people
would be in favor of eight hours con-
atituting days work. He also thought
that the time was not far distant when
workiDgmen would laugh at the mere
idea Of men working more than eight
hours day.
