ia no reason why q girl of moderate means
should not look as well as her more tortu-
nate sister who spends hundreds Of dot
lars on her summer clothes.
A cape which is to be worn when the
breeze is little cool was made of soft
woollen material, on whose red ground
fine lines of blue were interviewer, form
ing q large check. The capes and turn
over collar were all bound with silk braid
and the cape lined throughout with silk.
This is something entirely new, and is only
intended Tor a yachting wrap. These may
be had in different colors or mixtures, in
navy blue, red, and white, and are very
stylish.
The brides travelling-gown in the trotiS-
sed,l referred to was tallOr-made. The ma
ter;al was q gray, broad-ruled diagonal,
with trimming OF lighter shade OF gray
ladies' cloth. The jacket front and skirt
were made Of the diagonal and the vest
and the pleated front of the llght-gray
ladies' cloth. The skirt was attached to
the Jacket by smoked-pearl buttons. The
gray vest was pleated to simulate shirt
front and the broad centre pleat was or
namented with pearl buttons. A pretty
shawl-collar flushed the waist.
An ADJUSTABLE DUsTEB.
saw, too, very pretty buster. II was
made OF pongee silk, the waist laid in
pleals, front and back. and the fronts
finished by a rufiling made of the goods.
A sash started from the back and tied IN
front. The sleeves were very full, the cuff
being pleated like the waist and ornament
ed with the same rufliing. This same model
can be used for a morning gown. In that
case il should be made up of either flannel
or cashmere. and instead of a rutfling of
the goods, one could use white or color
ed null.
In the irouSse0u were India silk, fine
lawns made no over silk, snd white wool
gowns. and. of course. the inevitable black
net gown. Space forbids my describing
them all. / have tired to tell you about
some of the gowns which any young wo-
man with little money and ingenuity
might contrive and obtain the same re-
suits.
Hats are either very small or very large.
The smaller ones are worn by mIddle-aged
women and the younger have the large
hats to choose from. Flowers and lace,
with the former in riotous confusion. trim
the large hats. A great fayorite is the fiat
hat, which can be bent to suit any face.
Little girls are wearing black flats, their
only trimming being flowers. The sailor
hat, so long popular with their elder sis
tiers, has now descended TO the little ones.
They are only used in white straw with
white silk ribbon band. no other trimming
being necessary.
Sailor suits will be worn by boys and
girls, and are made generally OF blue.
white, or fancy fannels.

CHARLESTON. w. Va, May 31.-Frequently

which they might wish never to have seen,
but seldom is it the case that one man is a
witness to so much that is of a horrible ma
ture as fell in single day to the gaze of q
gentleman who has just arrived here after
q trip to Kentucky.
He was Thursday morning at Fort GAY,
lust across the State line from Louisa, KY,
where he saw negro instantly killed. A
white boy in quarrel hit the negro with
rock, splitting his skull, causing the brains
to ooze out. without stopping to learn
the particulars he proceeded on his jour
new and in short time had arrived at Cat
lettsburg.
Here. while waiting train, he wandered
TO the bank of the Big Sandy river and saw
the body of an unknown man drawn out of
the water.

TOSSED IN TIE AIR.

While on the train between Catlettsburg
and Charleston he witnessed railroad
accident Mt Hurricane station. A tram
ran into a hand-car, on which were several
workmen. They were oil pitched into the
air, but none were hurt save the conductor,
who was struck in the head by a falling
pick. He received an ugly wound in the
head. which. though not dangerous. was
painful and added another shocking scene
TO those already witnessed. Nothing fur
Their occurred of a similar nature, but as q
browning incident to the days events some
thief got away with the same gentleman's
watch, making in all quite an experience
for one day.

war in the Beaorder's Office.

Recorder of Deeds, John H. Bewley,
who returned from Dover Saturday
as is his custom, to spend Sunday in
Smyrna, was as busy until he went
back Monday as a returned conquer
ing hero, in detailing his battles to up
hold the dignity of his office. The
difficulty was with Cove S. Wilson, an
attache of the Office under Bewley's
predecessor, Mr.. Spruance, and who
expected to hold the same relation to
him but was turned down, going in and
examining the documents in the Re-
cOrder's custody at will, and in a man
ner offensive to Mr.. Bewley. After
consulting attorneys as to the rights in
the case, Mr.. Bewley forbade him the
use of the books. Mr.. Wilson opening
and Mr.. Bewley as quickly closing
them, the third time gently placing his
hand on his shoulder, as directed, with
the command to go out. Mr.. Wilson
would not obey, but in turn shook his
fist under Mr.. Bewley's nose, used
language that will not do to repeat
here and finally put his hand on his
shoulder. Saturday before returning
home Mr.. Bewley had him arrested
and summoned before Esquire Cooper
charged with assault and battery. Mr..
Wilson waived hearing and gave bail
in the sum of 5000 for his appearance
at court. Mr.. BewIey says his only
object is to maintain the character and
dignity of his Office. which he is deter
mined to do at all hazards.

A Case of Legal Robbery.

George Heinold, residing in Black
bird Hundred, near this town, has had
recently an unusual experience in
legal matters ;-one that does not in.
crease his respect for law, at least in
its constructive results as applied to
him. 1t is a queer case and goes way
back. In 1859 at public sale of the
late VIM. G. EliasOn on one ofhis farms
a neighbor of Mr.. Heinold bid off
wagon and took it away. The man
subsequently, sold the wagon to Mr..
HeinOld, taking his note for it for $50.
Mr. Eliason on learning of the tran
sactiOn, told Mr.. Heinold that the
wagon belonged to him. Eliason, that
the man who got it at the sale had
failed to comply with the conditions.
and as he had the wagon in his pos.
session he should hold him responsible
for it.. After the matter was made
clear to Mr.. Heinold he paid Eliason
for it, taking from him an indemnify
ing receipt to protect him from loss
Thus ended the transaction as he
thought, the debt being paid and the
matter passed out of mind for nearly
thirty years when few weeks ago the
old note turned up with demand for
its payment by one Gremminger,
shoemaker, an old associate living in
Odessa, who had probably bought it
for mere song. Mr.. Heinold pro-
tested that he would not pay it, that
the note was no good, and that he had
paid the claim it represented to Mr..
Eliason.
The indemnity of Mr.. Eliason was
no protection, as he had been dead and
his estate settled for a number of
years. To make himself more sure.
however, he went to New Castle and
consulted Lawyer Rodney, who after
hearing the case explained, told him
he could not be made pay it, but evil
IDENTIFY failed to put the matter beyond
a peradventure. After one or two
threats, some two weeks ago the con-
stable came down to his residence with
an execution and levy issued by
Squire Wilson, of MiddletOwn, for the
face of the note, $50, and interest for
thirty years, &c, making the neat
little sum of $3.50. The officer declared
he was going to sell forthwith, and Mr..
HeinOld not knowing the law and feel
ing himself pOwerless, compromised
the matter by paying 800.
He says he has had to pay $3.50 for
nothing, the attorneys fees, travel and
expenses otherwise amounting to
about $50, and feels that it is little bet
ter than highway robbery. If the
claim was Outlawed, as supposed by
some, by the twenty years limitation,
or because it was not for value receiv-
ed, Mr.. Rodney as his attorney, should
by all means see to it that Mr.. Heinold
has this money restored to him. The
community, so far as we have heard
an expression, is highly indignant al
this decision, aud consider it very
great outrage on Mr.. HeinOld, an hon
est and worthy citizen.

A Supposed Case Of Rabies.

A dog having all the evidences of a
canine with the rabies, made a stir on
the Landing road on saturday. John
w. Ford and his Younger brother,
Matthew, were at work in repairing
the road. A dog coming in the direc-
tiop of the town passed the last named
and when nearing John came near a
puddle Of water at the sight of which
he had fit. On getting over this be
turned his course in the direction he
came from swapping at punches of
grass or anything that he passed.
Matthew seeing this and having moth
ing with which to protect himself,
thought the safest place was up the
telephone pole out of his reach, the
animal trying to bite the pole as he
passed. Coming to another puddle di-
rectIy after he had another fit and still
another, and in turning into a field
fell into water deep enough they
thought to drown it, but it soon recov-
cred aud started across the field in the
direction of man spreading manure
from a wagon. The man got into the
wagon out Of his reach and the dog
made for the horses, biting first one
and then the other, which 50 fright
ened them that they broke for the
house Ia a run. The team belongs to
w. H. Schafer, who moved 70 the farm
of Mrs. S. G. Daniel the first Of March.
It afterwards tried to bite one Of the
Transportation horses but was killed
before It accomplished its object.

last year at the same time. Mr.. Dodge
estimates the unmerchantable part of
the crop on hand, 302, 334, $50 bushels,
at an average of 1872 cents per bushel.
By States the highest is in Maine, 80
cents; California, 81 cents; New Hamp-
shire, 35; Utah, "a; Florida, 80; South
Carolina, 81; Colorado and Vermont,
80; Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Alabama, %; Pennsylvania New York,
Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, the two

Delaware is put down at 20 cents. The
lowest prices are for Nebraska, 10
cents; Kansas, II; Indiana, Is; Iowa
and Missouri, 16; Kentucky and Illi-
nois, II, and Ohio and Minnesota, 18.
The merchantable crop on hand is
estimated at 27.9 cents per bushel on
the averge, the lowest being Is cents
in Nebraska and Kansas, and the high
est being 81 in California and Oregon,
where little corn is raised. The Della
ware crop of merchantable corn is
placed at AZ cents per bushel.

The Glee Club Concert.

The concert given by the Glee Club
of Dickinson College in the Methodist
Episcopal church of this place last Sat
urday night was the most successful
entertainment in every way with
which the people of Shippensburg have
been favored for long time. The an
nouncment that concert would be
given filled the church with the best and
most intelligent people of the town and
the boys didn't disappsint them. Attired
in full evening dress the Club added a
pleasing personal appearance to their
really fine voices and execution The
concert lasted for nearly two hours and
was heartily enjoyed throughout.
Some apt hits We're made which crea-
ted much merriment. The members
of the club were pleased with their re-
ceptiOn and the audience was pleased
with the Club and it is quite probable
that the concert will be repeated be-
fore long. If 50 we can assure them
of even larger house and more en-
| thusiastic welcome. Rev. Fisher de
serves the thanks of the community
for an entertainment of such high

THAT a dependent Pensions bill is to
be passed by this Congress has been
expected by everyone. But there
seems to be a difference of opinion as
to its provisions. One proposal is to
put upon the list every soldier of the
war who has reached his sixty-second
year, and also every soldiers widow of
that age; and to add to these lists
younger men who served for not less
than three months and who are un-
fitted by any kind of disability for sup
porting themselves. The Senate has
passed bill without the former feat
ure. 1t rejected an amendment of
fered by Mr.. Plumb recognizing the
time of age, and stuck to the principle
of actual disability. But the other
proposal will be renewed in the House.
The Pension List is already swollen
sufficiently, without adding to it all
the names of men and widows who
have lived beyond sixty-two. Taken
in connection with our small army, it
costs the country more than the huge
German army and the pension list OF
the wars of 1866 and 1901 cost that
country. And even after We make
every allowance for the difference oi
the cost Of living in the two countries
this is seen to be excessive.
