gold with spray of green enamel in the

In the matter of sashes, the girl of the
period cannot have too many, and those Of
most startling colors are the favorites.
Cuffs with turned over points like the
collars, which have recently been intro
duced, are too effeminate for ''manly men." "
Very long stick sunshades are already
in disfavor, women of conservative tastes
preferring smaller and less awkward ones.
However much the fact may be de-
plored, colored hair, the new name for
dyed, is largely on the increase among
women.
Black lace over white silk is caprice
in evening dress among women Of fashion

NEW ENGLISH GAME.
1t Beats Croquet for Out-of-Door Diver
sion and is Already Popular.

sion and is Already Popular.
A new out-of.door game called "The
Colors" has been invented by Mrs. A.
Hartshorne, of Bradbourne Hall, near
Derby, England, says the Pail Mall Budget
1t may be played by four or eight players.
For the four players the mat erials for the
game are four sets of five posts, painted
red, white, blue, and green. Each player
has a little rack on which she or he car
ries eight rings, two each of the same col
ors, and two small flags bearing the letters
''R." or L." signifying right or left There
are also flags painted black to indicate a
miss or fault. The court should be 60 feet
long by SO feet wide. To arrange the
ground the posts are planted in sets of
fves, each post 2 feet 6 inches apart from
its neighbor, in figure which would form
a cross, the first or starting set being at
one end of the ground, the end or finish
ing set at the extreme end of the court,
exactly opposite the start, and the side
sets in the middle of each side of the
court.
Each player being furnished with his
complement Of eight rings, which have
previously been shaken up in bag, two
partners stand on each side of the starting
set of posts facing each other. The whole
object of the game is to get rid of the
rings In such manner that they retain
their proper sequence on the posts. There
is no throwing or running. The players
walk leisurely from set to set, deposit their
rings if they can, and then walk on to the
next set of posts. One player may get rid
of ring by placing it on his partners
ring, and any player may play two rings,
following if possible.
There is no hurry or scurry, but there is
certain amount of science in the game,
and, of course, it may be varied in many
ways. 1t may be called the quadrille OF
garden games. 1t will never in any way
interfere with tennis, because it appeals to
totally different people from tennis play
ers, but there is plenty of room for it, and
it certainly is prettier and more interest
ing than croquet, though it seems SO
simple.
The new game was played the other
afternoon in the garden of the Inner
Temple by a number of trained players
before party of specially invited guests

REVOLT SUPPRESSED.
General Rivas and His Forces of Indians
are Defeated,


La LIBERTAD (Salvador), August 1st-
Communication with the interior has been
restored. Advices from the capital state
that General Ezeta was ordered from the
frontier with about 2 200 men Immediately
upon the outbreak of the revolt headed by
General Rivas. General Ezeta FASTENED
with all speed to the capital. General
Rivas' forces had captured the artillery
barracks, but the few troops in charge had
fought desperately before they surrendered.
The Indians then pillaged several houses
and pauic ensued. Rivas' forces were
finally defeated and peace restored.
It is stated that Guatemala has with
drawn her forces from the frontier and that
all is quiet. There is no telegraphic COM
munication with Guatemala.
General Ezeta has issued proclamation
for general election of members of Con-
gress during the first week in September,
and has called upon Congress to convene in
October.
THOSE GUATEMALAN REVOLUTIONS.
CITY OF MEXICO. August 1st.-Senor Die
guez disclaims that revolutions are raging
in Guatemala. He says that outside the
invasion of the Salvadorians everything is
quiet as usual The statement that revo-
lutionary movement has been started on
the Mexican frontier of Guatemala is in
correct He has late dispatches to show
that everything is tranquil there.
MINERS SILENCE.
WASHINGTON. August 1st.-The absence
of auy news from Minister MlZner in regard
to Central American affairs is causing some
irritation 1t is believed Guatemala is sup
pressing the Minister'S dispatches and Min
lister Ryan at Mexico has been instructed
to protest against the continuance of this
counsel, and he has doubtless long since
made his remonstrances on the subject to
the Guatemalan Minister at that capital,
Senior Dieguez, who, it is known, is in con-
slant communication with his Government.
RIvAs CAPTURED AND SHOT.
LA LIBERTAD, August 1st t-LATER.-The
news is confirmed of the defeat of General
Rivas by the Government troops, under
General Ezeta. Rivas escaped from the
Capital last night, but was pursued and
taken prisoner few miles out of the city.
This morning he was publicly shot and
his corpse exposed on the Plaza Armas.
The siege lasted forty hours. The Capt.
tai suffered considerable damage. Hun
dreds of persons were shot dead in the
streets. The Government forces which
took part in the overthrow of Rivas are
now disposed to return to the frontier If
necessary.

WHAT RUMOR SAYS.
A Big Deal in New England Backed by
the Canadian Pacific.

the Canadian Pacific.
PROVIDENCE, August 1st.-It is rumored
here that the Boston and Maine Railway
Company Is after the New York, Boston
and Providence Railroad. The most start
ling feature of the contemplated deal is the
published statement that the hackers of the
Boston and Maine Railway are the Can
adian Pacific. This line requires Tor its
New England support a terminus whence
its line of steamers could be run to New
York. As the Boston and Maine now
reaches Worcester, the Providence and
Worcester division of the New York, Prov
idence and Boston, could it be obtained,
would furnish the Canadian Pacific unin-
terrupted communication between Mon
treal and Providence. The Providence
and Worcester, together with the Concord
and some Western roads, have long been
members of the Canadian Pacific. A dis
patch line, merging the New York, Boston
and Providence in the Boston and Maine,
would not only mean the control OF the
Stonington Steamship Company's fine feet,
but the latter corporation, as the road owns
the controlling interest in the boats.

BABY RINGS ARE DRNGER0Us.
Objections Raised by Physicians to the
Little Ornaments.
From the New York World. !

From the New York World
Baby iewelry is already limited to bib
pins. The infantile ring is not success,
although fond mothers struggle to make it
popular. A couple of years ago the fash
ion was started of putting solitaire on
the middle finger of every first-born, and
for while the demand was excessive.
Orders came from all parts of the coun-
try for the tiny jewels, and those intended
for the exclusive trade of New York were
boxed in dainty cases and presented to the
scions of fashion at the christening. 1t
soon became evident that the rings were
proving troublesome ornament, for not
to the decoration, but special attendants
were needed to keep them from being
swallowed.
For the first six months the average
baby ignores the gold ring, but almost as
soon as the shining band attracts his atten-
tion the streak of viciousLess becomes ap-
parent Mr. Baby proceeds to gouge his
eyes out and tear strips of pink and white
skin from his velvety cheek with the edge
that seems sharpest. The fiat or ribbon
band is especially adapted for this pur-
pose and for plowing up the soft flesh
about his chin or abbreviating the corners
of his nose; there is nothing in the toilet
basket better adapted than twisted or
Venetian gold ring. All stone rings are
good for gouging purposes, and during the
teething period most of the gems are swal-
lowed. 1t doesn't make any difference
how well the ruby or turquoise may be
set, if baby takes notion to bite and the
i ba OH will ~
and be gulped down in jiffy. Repeated
accidents, some of them fatal, reported to
the jewellers selling the rings, have had
the effect of reducing the manufacture of
cluster and solitaire designs.
One of the largest firms in Broadway
refused to carry any children's jewelry set
with stones, for the reason, the manager
said, "that we cannot afford to sell cheap
designs and the trade will not pay for the
| best" He added laying aside a tray of
! tiny rings set with clusters of diamond
clippings, 81 never would permit young
child of mine to wear jeweled ornaments
until he was old enough to appreciate
their value"
An old West Side specialist of chill
dren's diseases, whose book of baby pa
tients contains as many names as the pub
lie records of small town, considers the
baby-ring an idiotic species of woman's
vanity.
81 am opposed to them, and always have
been, for the reason that they shackle the
child If the mother tends to the infant
there is no danger to be apprehended, but
it is not safe to leave baby and a gold
ring alone with a nurse girl.
"In convulsion l have seen children
bruise and tear themselves with ring
and | also know that ornaments of this
sort often worry and distress the little
ones. They may do no harm, but they
can do no good and for that reason of
with the finger ring and away with the
bib and shoulder pin until the nursing
child is old enough to enter complaint
against the cruelty and discomfort of ma
ternal vanity"

Henry Grady,s Wit.

Years ago, when Henry Grady was
struggling to bring the Rome Commercial
into front ranks, says the Rome (Ga) Tn
bune, he called one day and asked the
Rounsaville Bros for an advertisement. J.
W. Rounsaville replied: "Why, Grady,
nobody reads your paper; it is of no use
to advertise in it." A happy thought sug-
gested itself to Grady. He went to his
office and wrote the following advertise
ment: "Wanted-Fifty cats; liberal price
for the same. Apply to Rounsaville Bros"
Well the picture that presented itself at
Rounsaville's corners next morning beg
gars description. Boys of all ages and
sizes-boys Of all tints, from the fair
haired youth to the sable Ethiopian-bare-
foot boys and ragged boys-red-headed
boys, freckled-faced boys-town boys and
country boys-boys from all parts of Floyd
county, blocked up the sidewalk, doorways
and street with bags full of cats-cats of
every description, name and order-house
cats, yard cats-barn cats, church cats
fat cats and lean cats-honest cats and
thievish cats. Well, to make long story
short, the Rounsavilles told Mr.. Grady to
reserve column for their advertisement
as long as his paper continued.

KEMMLER wEAKESs.
The Sounds of Preparation in the Execu-
ton Room Unnerve Him.


AUBURN On. ", August 1st.-Recent
developments have more than confirmed
the truth of the statement that Kemmler,
the condemned murderer, is weakening
daily. The utter abandonment of all hope
and the prisoners realization of his utterly
lost condition, never came to him with
such terrible force as last night. All night
long, as he tossed and tumbled on his mar
row cot, he cried aloud in his despair, Il
wish it were over"
He moaned time and again, and his utter
lack of all power to control his fears was
pitiful to behold.
The cause of this sudden and uncon-
querable despair was the noise of prepara-
ton in the adjacent room of execution,
which the prisoner could not help hearing
through the doorway which connects his
cell with the chamber of death.

The women of Wyoming, now that
Territory is admitted to the Union, will
have full suffrage. 1t will be an interest

particularly irascible old bachelor were in
the chair.
