SIMPLE MOURNING GOWNS,
The Materials and Styles Most Popular .,
the Present Time.

the Present Time.
While Henrietta cloth remains the
regulation dress for street wear,
there are many beautiful and suitable
dull black woods which are made up
for deep mourning. The deepest
mourning is necessarily a widows
and all reference to the deepest mourn
ing refers to a widows dress. 1t is in
extremely bad taste to wear such
mourning on any other occasion.
Thus a daughter wears much simpler
mourning. and it would be ostenta-
tious for her to adopt the dress suit
able for her mother. Her gown may
be of dull black cashmere, camels'.
hair, Melrose cloth, Henrietta, or any
soft silk-warped or pure wool cloth.
and unless she is advanced in years,
very slight trimmings of Grape are
considered in the best taste. Her
bonnet is simple and her vail of
Grape or nuns vailing merely reaches
to her waist and is worn over the
face but few weeks. A widow usual.
ly wears long vail of nuns vailing
for ordinary occasions to, save her
Grape vail. Nuns va;lings with a
wide, plain selvedge, which comes in
such exquisitely fine qualities and is
so sheer it must be made over India
silk, makes cool. pleasant material
for summer afternoon gowns. There
are also black-lawn sewing-silk
grenadines and tamise cloth which
are used in a daughters or mothers
tinue wearing diamonds or any gems
during the period that Grape is worn.
This seems self-evident to any
person of taste, but this rule is
so continually violated in this country
that it is necessary to repeat this.
Well-meaning women, who do not in
tend to violate the canon of refined
taste, sometimes wear solitaire dia-
monds with widows cap. A widow
may wear a simple bar-pin of black
enameled gold, or of onyx, but these
are so plain as hardly to be classed as
jewelry. Simple kerchiefs and fichus
of white crepe or India null hem
stitched on the border or embroidered
in dots, or some such simple pattern,
are worn by young ladies' Linen COL
lar and cuffs are suitable to wear in
any mourning where Grape is not, but
black ruches of crepe lisse or some
sheer material is only suitable with
Grape. Plain black foulard silk makes
a simple, light afternoon dress for a
lady who has taken off Grape. And
there are many fine-striped black-and-
white foulards and delicately figured
foulards suitable for this purpose and
for morning gowns or white foulard
dotted with black. Children seldom
wear mourning in this country. al
though in some families even the serv-
ants are expected to wear a black
dress while the family are in Grape.
While many people now do not wear
mourning, and the custom is by no
means increasing, it is best that all
who prefer to adopt the dress during
their period of grief should be guided
by the simple rules of etiquette which
prevail for such occasions. There is
nothing more Objectionable than ILL
chosen or ostentatious mourning,
when the dress, which is protection
to the wearer from all claims of socie-
ty and an indication of her seclusion,
becomes the means of making her
vulgarly conspicuous. House

BosToN, Oct. 4-Ex-Champion 4 John

come of the battle at New Orleans, in
which he was defeated by James j. Cor
bett, of California The big fellow is
inclined to believe that he was tamper-
ed with by some unscrupulous parties
to whom Sullivan victory would have
meant their financial ruin.
1t is said to his most intimate friends
Sullivan complained bitterly of his
treatment, and declares his intention to
save his money and back himself
against Corbets He declares that he
can defeat "Pompadour Jim" and re-
gain the title of champion of the world.
il he is permitted to go into the ring a
sound man, such as he believes himself
to have been when he left Canoe Place
on the 27th of last August.
He was seen in his dressing-room at
the theater before the curtain went up
for tho first act of Capt John L. Har-
court, or the Man From Boston" and
questioned concerning the reports.
There was fire in the ex-champion's
eyes when he exclaimed:
~ am saving money now with a reso-
lutte determination to challenge Corbett
to fight again and give me chance to
win back the money that was stolen
from me in New Orleans"
by stolen, do you mean that you
were drugged?" There was some
thing wrong. / am not making any
direct charges just now, but that was
not right well know. After the first
round could see half dozen Corbetts.
and, as good n man as Corbett is, /
don't believe that he or any one else
living can stand up and fight me twenty

chances on one or the other of the first
two to fall down, but they were mis-
taken. McAuliffe and Dixon got away
with their men, and it was Sullivan
who must be made to fail to break the
heavily played combination.

Killed and Several MortaIly Wounded
CLARKsDALE, Niss, Oct 3.-Sherifi
Harris, of this place, was notified early
Sunday morning by Deputy Fitzgerald
OF Friar's Point, TO at once organize ar
armed posse and proceed to the planta
ton of Mr.. j. X Wilkinson, large
planter west of Bobs, small station
eight miles south of this place, to put
down an insurrection among the colored
people in that locality against tho
whites
Sheriff Harris promptly complied,
and in short time had an armed posse.
consisting of twenty-seven men from
this place and Friar's Point, moving to
the scene.
Authentic information has just been
received that two colored men were
killed outright and nine captured, and
are now on the way to Friar's Point
heavily guarded.
In addition to the two men killed, sew
ernl are said to be mortally wounded.
The blacks took to tho brush and are
still out, all armed. None of the whites
are reported hurt.
From confessions made by some of the
prisoners, it is learned that they have
organized an order among themselves,
comprising the whole neighborhood,
with passwords and grips, with the
avowed purpose of killing the whites
The greatest excitement prevails. The
colored men are thoroughly organized.
Mr.. Sessions, manager of the planta-
tion, was fired upon three times Satur-
day, but was not hurt The town is
without telegraphic facilities and the
Wilkinson place somewhat in the inte-
rior, therefore news is somewhat scarce.
