sULLIVAs,s SHORTAGE.
A County in Indiana Loses $4,000
by His DishOnesty.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, March 1S.-Tha
experts appointed by the county commits
sioneIs to examine into the shortage Of
John 4. Sullivan, the absconding county
clerk, have so far progressed in their
work that the shortage in tie trust funds
is known to be about $3S, 900. In add
tion to this there is $l5, 600 secured by
fraudulent representation from the
county treasury making the aggregate
steslings from the county $1,000. 1t is
believed that the bulk of this money was
taken to CANADA.
Tho indictment of Capen and hiq con-
nection with Sullivan led to the belief
that there was greater shortage In the
hospital funds than the 50 600 known to
have been lost. It is learned that money
was drawn from the state treasury osten-
sibly to meot bills, but some of these bills
still remain unsettled.

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.
Artistic Novelties of the Season in Window
Drapcries and Portiercs.

Artistic draperieS being now an established
feature of the well furnished house, dealers
are meeting the constantly growing demand
for them with great variety of new and
charming patterns, among which are the fol-
lowing spring novelties described 10y Good
Housekeeping;
For the modest purse there are some mar
velously pretty cotton cretonnes in the same
delicate soft colors and the same large floral
and mixed designs which are 80 prominent in
all classes of goods for household decorations
A particularly charming design is Of dim
purple chrySanthemums ON delicate buff
ground The imitation of velvety effect is
perfect An old rose ground is strewn with
lighter flowers of the Same color These
goods come in the single widths, thirty-two
inches wide, for sixty cents yard, or in the
double fold at rate corresponding TO the
width and the elaborateneSs of the design.
They will be very generally used for draper
les, panels, bed canopies lambrequinS and
furniture coverings in summer houses or for
the guest rooms of peasant homes where
economy must be studied; the effects are
very artistic and pleasing, and with suitable
care they may be used for a long time
For sash curtains, very beautiful India and
China silks are shown, in abSinthe green,
light rose, dull blue, water green, a faint
shade of bronze another of Nile, also the
substantial peacock blue, steel color and a
brilliant Mandarin orange.
Pongees for larger curtains have either
printed or woven designs. The former are
sometimes geometric figures, and as often
large flower pieces of great beauty. There
are bright punches of wisteria on pale yell
low ground, poppies of subdued hue, on gray
and blue, and great variety of similar pat
terms. The woven figures are usually of the
same tint as the ground, from which they
are slightly raised
Many pretty cross striped window draper
les are seen, although rot new this season.
They are in mohair and in silk. \ pale cream
ground has irregular stripes of gobelin blue
and old rose; another of old blue has deeper
stripes of the same color with dull gold,

An inexpensive portiere Of plain chenille is
of tile blue, with deeply figured border of
azure, and its companion is in cream and
Nile green. Madras is still used in silk and
cotton, with large figured designs and deep
colors
A new turcoman, which is all silk and
much more beautiful and durable than the
older sort, is the Sheila, which is made in
plain, rich colors, with very deep dados. A
feature of the new portiere is the absence of
a bordering Mt the top, the plain or figured

A most popular form of this work is as
frames or supports for lamps. A red glass
lamp in iron frame work is often suspended
over writing table from iron work brack-
cts fixed into the wall; small ones with a
night light are quite the fashion in bedrooms
where light is liked. Square hall lanterns
are also seen in this style. Copper is often
mixed with the iron-such as a beaten copper
pos fixed upon wrought iron supports, for
standing on a table with n few flowers in it;
or, in larger size, on the ground with plant
in it. This furnishes a handsome combina-
ton of metals. Other fashionable forms of
iron work are fire sets consisting of stand
with shovel, tongs and poker; also, large
and deliberately wrought fire dogs or and
irons for open hearths.
