Dress reform is the latest and most
absorbing fad among people who have
nothing to do, and can't even succeed
in doing that atartistically. Last Monday
afternoon Miss Clara ordered her toilet
made up in the most ultra-fashion-
able style. From the high-heeled
shoes to the stiff Persian loops
In her bonnet, every garment was pro-
test against this new order champloned
by Mrs. Miller. While waiting tor the
lecturers appearance, it was amusing
to note how the ladies glared at each
other through their opera glasses, and
then fell to exchanging gossip about
latest temperance Wrangle or sewing
circle scandal.
Miss Clara and her friends occupied
one of the boxes. l have been behav-
ing better than usual, and was allowed
to sit behind the curtains of the box.
When my lady saw that dress reform
was not so sweeping a change as she
had anticipated, it began to appear
more attractive. Mrs. Miller's csrset
waist is genuine French coutil minus
the front steelS. If the hustle. does go.
the old familiar reeds are left, which
saves the waist from appearing to end
at the heels, while the gown feran;. over
which all dresses are draped, must fit
the figure accurately. That was all Miss
Clara wanted to know. While Mrs. Mil
Ter gravely gave utterance to bits of
wisdom that probably came forth with
Noah from the ark, my lady and her
frinds leaned back in their chairs, ate
chocolate creams and discussed the
Sheltering Arms reception at the West.

said:

"Working girls ought to buy China
silk underwear, it laundries so nicely"
"Women who have TO count their
pennies should al ways buy good quail
ity of dress goods, because it wears so
much longer" and so OH ad infinitum,
spoken with such fanciful disregard
for the actualiteS Of life; but everybody
applauded as if it were all new and
original.
After coming home Miss Clara sur

vols, 5000 pages. Minneapolis Forty
B. Lowe & Co.
This is a marvelously complete and
exhaustive treatise on Minnesota
weather-the cause and effect of bliz-
yards, with lengthy and able discus
sion of the climatic changes and
variations of the barometer, with
their effect on vegetable and
animal growth and the price of coal.
Volume 5, which is destined to large
sale among real estate men, demon
strates, in ninety-six pages of solid nom
pareil and thirteen blue-point diagrams,
how it is impossible for cyclone to
come farther than st. Paul on the way
to Minneapolis in the next 3,70O years.
This volume is dedicated to Eastern
capital. The volume contains pro-
found disquisitiOn on Minnesota win
ters, past and present, from review of
which the author deducts that the next
fifty winters will be as mild and tropical
as the present one, and closes with an
explanation of how the air is so dry
here that you can't feel the heat in win
ter. The work should be in the library
of every man who makes any pretension
to scholarly attainments.

II. Houston, who has brought suit in the
California Courts to recover property a
mile square in San Francisco valued at
S3OoO00,OOO, Is grain merchant of this
place, of high business and social standing.
He gives the following history of his claim
My father-in-law, John K Moore, builder
and contractor, was among those who went
to San Francisco in the early days of the
gold excitement and followed his occupa-
ton there.
He bought of an old Mexican resident.
Ferdinand Machina, a tract of land about
one mile square, then vacant lots, but now
near the heart of the city. Machina held
grant to the property made in 1S43 exc
cuted by Micheltorena, then the Mexican
Governor of Alta California. Moore paid
$4,000 for the property and proceeded to
take possession and build a number of
houses, some of which are still standing.
he returned East in 1852, remaining
some months. In his absence squatters
settled and built upon a portion of the
land. On his return he undertook TO eject
the intruders, who disputed the soundness
of his title. He appealed to the Courts,
and after year litigation, decision was
rendered by the Court of last resort against
him. declaring the Micheltorena grant in
valid; that the tract rightfully belonged to
tn municipality of San Francisco by vir-
tue of grant of later date
The fact that there is some virtue in what
Is known as the Moore claim is generally
recognized by careful real estate BUYERS of
San Francisco, many of whom take the
precaution to perfect their titles to the dis
puted property by securing a deed from
Moore as well as from the apparent owner
The Trus ees of the Masonic Hall, which
was recently erected on the disputed prop
erty, paid Moore $1,000 to perfect the title,
and several eminent lawyers of the CITY
have undertaken to carry the case through
the United States Courts They speak very
confidently of success in establishing the
claims.

The reason they left Port au. Prince was
mat affairs IN Hayti had reached such a
point that business was out of the cues

is overrun with rufians. There is almost
no money, and all of those who can get

city, aud In measure it is in state of

Among the passengers on the steamship
WlLhelm was u. b. Nilsson, a resident of
this city, who four months ago went TO
Hayt to enter the employ of Legitme as
an engineer OF man-of-war He said he
returned because he found the situation
there too warm for him. Legitime stood
but little chance against Hippolyte, whose
army was well equipped and numbered

Hippolyte's troops were within four miles
of Port-au-Prince by land and fourteen

As to the Clyde steamer Ozama being

the matter was, said Nilsson, that the ves-

and was released when Captain kellogg of
the United States steamer OSsipee made q
demand upon Legitime.
AT first the demand was refused EXCEPT
under the condition that the Ozama would
not go to Gonaivas. Captain Kellogg wrote
upon the back of Legitimes note that ifthe
vessel was not released within five hours
and 5000 paid over by Legitime he would
bonn bard the city. The demand was imme-
diately complied with and the S., 600 paid

Strange, if True.

There are three big rocks in the Poto-
mac just above Georgetown called the
Three Sisters, says Washington letter in
the Philadelphia Record, after three myth
ical maidens who perished there in some
romantic way centuries ago. Strangely
enough, they mark the saddest part of that
beautiful stretch of river, for it is at that
point that boats usually upset and swim
mers usually drown. But strangest of
all is the fact that on the night
before such a death the people liv-
ing on the shore hear the Three
Sisters softly moaning-a sound dis
tinct from every other, and never heard
save on such occasions. Wednesday night,
for example, just as the Georgetown clock
struck II, the moaning sounds came float
ing ashore from the Three Sisters, and on
Thursday noon she'll capsized as it passed
them, and its owner was drowned. Strange,

had killed one Indian and were determined
to take two of the Indians prisoners, sup
posed to be murderers; that friends of the
Indians would probably resist the arrest
that he would hold council with the Chiefs
and try and induce them to surrender the
two Indians; that should he fail and an
attempt be made to make the arrest, life
