Tea gowns for all sorts of informal social
gatherings in the evening seem likely to be-
come permanent fashion. They have little
in common with the old idea of such gar
ment. 1t is under this name that tho indi-
viduali5y of the wearer is allowed by fashion
to ccasonaliy declare itself, and originality
Of design and quaintness of coloring may be
INDUCED in without being considered either
outre or aesthetic. An artistic gown seen
recently consisted of a high white inner
dress OF thick silk gauze, with broad stripes
divided into many finer ones in delicate
shades Of blue pink, fawn and gray, over
which was worn long robe of pale blue
brocade, cut low ut the neck, with q turn
down collar of blue velvet, which is fastened
by an antique silver clasp, and from which the
robe falls open to the feet, showing the inner
gown i'll the front, which is held into the
waist by nedinval girdle of silver The

very high on the shoulder. Cloth is used by
New York dressnaiiers for some of the new
tea gowns. The medieval tea gowns. with
corset waist and full skirt of six or seven

or of soft brocatles in pale blue, old rose vel
low, and Russian green, with great puffed
sleeves Of white lace and showing a petticoat

SILVER IN A DEAD MULE.
"Old Pete" Is Cut Open and Found to Con
tain a Large Silver Ball,


tain a Large Silver Ball.
The teamsters driving up Aspen mountain
were surprised to see a dago, as they called
him. opening old Pete. The latter is the old
bay mule that, it is claimed, has been
working in and around silver mines for
many years, and which fell down Aspen
mountain week ago and broke his neck
Old Pete was pretty hard to cut open, as he
was frozen as stiff as the proverbial poker,
and the dago hacked at him with an ak for
two hours before he mined into his NAV He
did the opening act with an ak, but when he
got into the bowels he drew a butcher knife
from sheath at his side and commenced to
cut in with it
Two teamsters who were passing down the
mountain with q load of ore were SO much
interested at this juncture that they stopped
to see the end of it. Their curiosity was not
long deferred, for they soon saw the Italian
throw the knife to one side, make dive into
the beasts belly with his right hand, and
produce an oblong black ball, which he held
up near his face and examined critically
The mule skinners could stand it no longer,
so, tying the reins to the brakes, they jumped
down from their wagons and made their way
down the mountain to the place where the
dago held up his treasure. For it really
proved to be a treasure-some twelve pounds
of silver that looked like it had come out of
retort instead of q mules stomach.
''Who told you that mule had ball of sill
yer in his bellyw asked one of the teamsters
"Mula worka in silva nina always has a
balla silva in a bello," replied the dago.
''Who gave you the pointeran urged the
| teamster.

But who told you old Pete had this bo-

| The teamsters insisted the heapa damno
mucho smarter Italian should ride down to
| the Rust sampler with them, where the ball
of silver was weighed by Mr.. Vary and sized
up II pounds 4$ ounces. 1t was there ex-
amined by representative of The Chronicle,
| and was a very interesting subject to the
student in curiosities The dago wanted to
sell it to Mr. Vary at its par value, but an
| other man came up and advised the Italian
to take it east and sell it to some museum,
where he could probably realize large price
| from it as curiosity. This the Italian de-
termired to do, and took his treasure trove
with him to his cabin, where he will conceal
it until he can dispose of it to advantage -

his own ingenuity, but his complacency was
of short life, for, taking up another paper,
he read the following announcement:

Ward had not the courage to go to the
