light the hearts Of all behOlders-an ex-
Iremely stylish jacket. l once heard of
q man who, on yachting party, fell in
love with a iacket-excuse me, girl in a
jacket. That jacket haunted him, pur-
sued him. fitted before him in his dreams
until at length he betook himself TO the
dwelling place of the jacket aforesaid q,
with intent 10 tell his love. But he
changed his mind when he saw the girl
minus Jacket
This jacket before us is very original
and becoming, being made in q combi-
nation Of pale cachau cloth with rows of
grelots in the same shade and black vel
vet. The plastron is in old silver en-
broidery. The skirt is of soft white
wool made plainly. While on the sub
iect Of jackets let me say a word about
wraps. These are not only very dressy d,
but very modish. They are slightly
gathered in an original way and have
MedIcis collars. They must not go be-
low the waist and must harmonic with
the COLI of the costume, no matter of
what material they may be made The
funnel-shaped Medicis collar still re-
mains q great favOrite but it produces 8
ridiculous effect on a shoTt-necked,
dumpy figure, altogether too realistic
shat, placing a funnel in the spigot of a
barrel.

white cloth jacket, striped with chestnut
brown and trimmed with white fur, will
be very dressy next summer for young
person, or even one little older. Such
q jacket may be seen hanging on the arm
Of the next figure. The night air gets
pretty chilly at some OF the watering
places, and while it may be romantic to
be wrapped up in half of Tom IS overcoat,
yet in such a "divide'' the girl always
gets the most and Tom might catch his
death, the dear boy.
The costume of the lady with the
jacket on her arm is very pretty ar
rangement in two blues. being a combi-
nation OF sky-blue surah and dark blue
cloth embroidered with white and pale
blue designs and bordered with gray fur.
The hat is of dark blue silk crepe with a
ribbon of pale blue silk laid upon il all
around and trimmed with bunch of
narcissus. This is very stylish costume
and would look well on hotel veranda,
especially II there was q pretty woman
inside of 1T. These arrangements in two
shades are likely to continue TO be fash
iOnable. Only L must sound note of
warning anent the velvet sleeve Its
days are numbered. A witty friend Of
mine, to whom l made this announce
ment, replied that he was sorry TO hear
il, as he had four unmarried daughters.
and the velvet sleeves had been an agree
able change from the scratchy stuff
heretofore entwined about his neck when
favors were to be asked.
The new sleeve in wool dresses will be
of different color and entirely covered
with guipure of the same shade as the
material. The effect Of this new conceit
is rich and stylish.

with the rest of the hair continued over
the top of the head, still continues to be
a favorite style. The Greek ooiffure is
also deservedly popular, setting off as it
does the shapely head and classic fea-
lures. But, after all, only the artistic
eye can determine whether the hair
should be worn. high or low, whether
close to the head or raised in puffs and
friZzes, used alone by itself or pieoed out
by artificial means. It is matter worthy
of deep study and the term ''arIists in
hair' is not such a terrible mlsnomer

In the Dominion house of commons no
inconspicuous place belongs to MIR. David
Mills, member for Boutwell,, whether he
be considered as publicist, constitutional
lawyer, parliamentarian or orator. He
was born March 10, 1881, in the county OF
Kent, Ont Mr.. Mills was ERASED - and
educated right on the spot, finishing his
studies, however, in the University of
Michigan, which conferred the degree of
L. L. B. upon him. Before entering
public life he was for nine years suoerin-
tendent of schools for the county of Kent.
He first ran for parliament in 1876 and
has ever since continuously represented
the riding of Boutwell,. So anxious have
his opponents been to keep him out Of
parliament that they even opposed his re-
election when, in 1876, he was called to
the cabinet as minister of the interior.
Failing to defeat him Sir John Macdon-
aid, who professed the other day that
there was no man in the house he would
do more for, tried to gerrymander Mr..
Mills out and was so far successful that
Mr. Hawkins was declared elected, but
a recount gave Mr.. Mills a majority and
he took his seat.

STREET PICKINGS.
The Electric Road Will Pos

FIRED BY THE HEAD OF A MATCH.
Lawn Tennis Tournament-LOst and
FOund-And Other Events of
Local Interest.

1t appears that there is at last good
prospect that the electric railway will
start up again. Some time ago DR.. F. G.
Hentig, the representative of company
of Topeka capitalists, who are now oper-
ating successfully electric railroads in
Topeka and st. Joseph, arrived in this
city. The news of the failure of the Pico-
street road had penetrated to Topeka,
and DR.. Hentig was sent out to learn
whether there was chance for a profit
able investment in the franchise and
track.
He opened negotiations with Dan Nc.
Farland and others who were interested
in the road, and made careful calcu-
lations as to the number of passengers
which it might fall to the lot of the road
to carry if it were successfully operated.
He finally concluded that if the Council
could be induced to take back their
action with regard to the line they
would make the purchase. Some
time ago the Council declared the
franchise forfeited and ordered the
Street Superintendent to tear UP the
track. A portion of it was removed, but
the Street Superintendent was unwilling
to carry out the instructions of the Coun
Gil until the courts had taken action il
the matter.
DIR. Hentig reported favorably to the
company which he represented, and it is
now known that the sale has been all
but completed. Mr.. Dan Mcfarland
will start for Topeka in few days, anc
he expects to make the final arrange
ments for the transfer in short order, al
the terms have been all agreed upon.
The company is said to be very liv'
organization, operating extensive lines il
Topeka and St. Joseph. They propos,
to give five or ten minute service. Th,
unsightly poles will be taken down anC
replaced by smaller posts on both
sides of the street holding a crosl
wire on which the traction pulleys' road
bed is hung. The system will be il
many ways an improvement on thai
formerly employed by the road. If the
new company can come to satisfactory
arrangements with the Council, the line
will be extended to the Plaza and out
Seventh street to the Wolfskill depot.
The facts set forth in this article were
obtained yesterday in an interview with
Dan Mcfarland. He also stated tha
electric roads were on the increase al
through the East, and that recently
! number of cable roads in Minneapoli
had changed to this system of motiv
power, abandoning expensive ca5l
plants.

this writer signs "Harry Elliott" the
name given in the HERALD by mistake.
A HERALD reporter saw Major Gard
yesterday, who acknowledged that the
report published in this paper WAS SUBJ

nothing at all in reference to the matter,
as he had no doubt in the world
that he would be confirmed to the
office very soon. He says his appoint
ment has failed to come before the Sem
ate, not because of any letters or charges,
but because Senator Edmunds, the
chairman of the Senate committee on
the judiciary, had been sick for some
time past, and therefore the committee
had made no report. The appointment
of Willoughby Cole is in the same fix
as his own, and so are many others. He
expects to see that they have all gone to

they do go, Elliott's letter will not in.

A FIRST-STREET FIRE,
The Head of a Match Starts the
Blaze.

The Head of Match Starts the
Blaze.
At 8 :45 o'clock last night number of
young men were lounging in the fruit
stand of J. W. Raunells, at No. 124
West First street, when one of them
picked up parlor match, and, laying it
upon an iron weight on the scales, struck
it with the blade of penknife to make
it explode. When it did so, the ignited
head of the match flew from the stick
and lodged in bundle of dry pampas
grass which hung from the rafters. The
intammable grass Immediately fared up,
and in an instant almost the whole stock
of 1000 bundles was on fire, and the
frightened youths fed from the store
An alarm was turned in from
box 81. In the meantime the
porters of the Nadeau hotel got
out four lines of the hotel hose and
played upon the flames from the
side windows of that institution.
Before the arrival of the depart
ment the flames had enveloped the
whole of the frultstand, and had found
their way into the tailorshop of Levy Bros.
on the ground floor of the two-story brick
building next door, and the sign. painting
shop of Drake Bros. overhead, but three
streams of water were soon poured upon
this structure and in few minutes the
fire Was completely subdued. The rear
of the store in which the fire originated
opened into the barn of w. F. White, the
livery-stable proprietor, and Immediately
the alarm was raised, all the horses in
the vicinity of the FIRE were cut loose from
their stalls. All, however, were subse
quently recovered in various parts of the
city. Fortunately the roof of the barn
was composed of galvanized iron and
the only damage sustained by White was
the burning of the tops of about six car
riages. which were SO placed as to rende,
their removal impossible at the time.
The damaged buildings belong te
Messrs. Pike & Jones, and their loss is
fully incurred. The fruiterer, Rannells
estimated his loss at $3.50, which il
covered by policy with the Sun Insur
ance Company. The Drake and Levy
Brothers were damaged to the extent O.
about 500 each.
The Howes brick building, on thu
west side of the fire, escaped with the
loss of little paint.

was severely injured at that place yester-
day afternoon by being struck on the
head by locomotive. Earlier in the
day he had been warned away from the
track, but he had been drinking freely,
and when the afternoon train reached
a point near the limits of the town the
engineer suddenly discovered him lying
alongside the track, but it was too late to
stop the train, and the pilot of the en-
gine struck his head, cutting the scalp
and injuring him severely. He had
whisky bottle in one hand and some
meat in the other. Deputy Sheriff Har-
ris brought him to town, when he was
taken to the county hospital for treat

Grand Opera House,

The Grismer-Davies company will be
the attraction at the Grand opera house
next week, commencing Monday even
ing, February 10th, presenting during the
week their latest repertoire, opening
with The Tigress, dramatization
by Mr.. Ramsy Morris from his
own novel, "Crucifv Her." There
are many things in The Tggress which
bring up recollections of Mrs. Langtry's
as IN Looking Glass. 1t is play
that will interest and please the large
mass of theater-goers. On Tuesday
night The Burglar, an original comedy
drama in four acts, by Mr.. Gus Thomas,
founded on that authors famous and
popular sketch, ''Edtha's Burglar" The
third act, where the interview takes
place between the child, "Editha," and
civilian Lewis, alias the burglar" is
without doubt the finest piece of acting.
1t is this act which entities the piece to
be called child plav quite as much as
that Of Little Lord Fauntlerey; and, as
the Grismers are great favorites with the
theater-gosrs, they will no doubt be
welcomed with crowded houses.
