flashing stone of no particular color, es-
pecially when brought into contrast with
a few really fine, well chosen stones Of
pure and flawless water. Necklaces of
solid gold beads will be very popular for
young ladies, and bracelets of gold and
silver fligree will be very much worn,
with very few bangle bracelets. Watches
with fine long chains will be worn in lit
tie side pockets, though some chatelaine
chains as well as ball chains are seen.
Fichus and lace neckwear generally
have taken o new lease of favor, and
are made Of crepe lisse, china crepe and
chiffon, bordered by lace Of various
designs and kinds, and finished with
ribbon bows and loops. These last are
often made so that several different col
ors can be worn with the same fchu,
and this worn with plain black silk or
gray or white gown, or even gowns of
other colors, makes substantially new

ribbons, ETC., can be carried to a great
extent. know a young lady who went
to Saratoga with only four dresses, yet
she had devised these so cunningly, each

women about it.
saw recently such a dainty, pretty
home dress for young lady that | feel
like missionary as l sit here writing
description of it. The wearer was a
slender, dark eyed and dark Laired young
girl of 19, and the dress in que ton was
a cream white serge, made princesse
style, with demi-traine at the back.
In the front there was bretelle shaped
drapery reaching to point, and
the front skirt drapery was slightly
lifted on the right hip. The sleeves
opened half way up the forearm, and
buttoned with bronze-green velvet but
tons with silver rims, and there were
loops of narrow bronze-green velvet, a
narrow line Of which also defined the
opening. The same style of trimming,
with buttons and velvet, was carried out
on the skirt and waist. With it she
wore plain turn down collar Of white
silk, and a silver comb was fastened in
the hair. Now wasn't that a dainty,
pretty dress!

According to c. J. Hamlin he once timed
Maud S. at Chicago, when she made a half
mile in 1902, the fastest time ever trotted
and three-quarters of a second better than
the middle half of the mile she covered

The Famous strasbourr Clock.

The Strasbourg clock has been for about
800 years one of the wonders of the world.
1t has been written about until students
of descriptive literature are almost as fa-
miliar with it as if they had seen it. Its
chief performances are in addition to its
astronomical features, procession of the
apostles and saints around the central fig
ure, Jesus. This procession is preceded by
the feeble growing Of a cock at 70 o'clock.
and some of the more important figures in
the procession perform rather stifly the
principal acts that connect them with the
history of their Master
The most wonderful performances of the
clock from a mechanical standpoint are its
astronomical motions and indication of
the seasons. These motions are accurate
to such a degree that it is said that or
shut up with the clock would have no di
fculty in keeping the run Of the seasons
and the motions Of the principal heavenly
bodies.-Jewelers' Weekly

were thronged with people till late hour,
discussing the event of the day. Little ad-
vance has been made toward the dlsposl-
tion of the cases Of the arrested national
lists, and the general impression created by
the courts ruling was not complimentary
30 the tribunals sense Of fairness. The
leading nationaists had a prolonged con-
sultstion In the event Of further attempt
90 bring Sergeant Kennedy, Of the police
force, 10 account for some Of the clubbing
in front of the court house yesterday
The city of Tipperary this morning is
much more tranquil than yesterday.
When the hour Of opening came the pre-
siding magistrate announced that 1t would
he impossible TO go on with the cases this
morning as the Judge Of the county court
required the building and it would be nee
essary, therefore, to adjourn further pro
ceedings until the afternoon. Before the
magistrate could declare the court ad-
jouned, Timothy Healy sprang to his feet
and, in the name of the defendants, offered
an earnest protest against adjournment.
Mr.. Healy's protest was unavalllng. As
soon as be resumed his seat the court ad-
lourned until p. IN.
When the court reOpened IN the after
noon, Mr.. Roman proceeded with the state
ment of the crowns case against the ac-
Cused men. The prosecuting officer read
long extracts from speeches made at vari-
Gus Nationalist meetings since the inaugu-
ration of the plan of campaign, and also
quoted from resolutions adopted at these
meetings Il appeared to be the object Of
the prosecution TO prolong the case as far
as possible At one point Mr. William
o Brien, who with Mr.. Dillon, was TO have
sailed for the United States next week.
chafingly reminded Mr.. Roman that his
ship was to sail for America on Thursday
next, adding that there appeared TO be a
race against time between the crowns
counsel and the ship. When the court was
adjourned Mr.. Roman was still speaking.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-For several
years it has not been considered good
form for a lady to wear much, if any,
jewelry in the street, but it seems that
this season is to witness decided
change in this respect, and lady can
wear as much precious metal and as
many jewels as she pleases. But to be
exactly in the fashion the true lady
should not make too great a display,
and should choose her decorations for
