DARLING.

rThs author Of the following beautiful poem Il
unknown. 1t is one Of the sWe0tsst gems ever
published in the English languages-G +. Al
A little maid with swest blue eyes
Looked upward with q shy surprise
Because asked her name;
Awhile she bent her golden head
While DER her face soft bushes spread
Like some swift rosy fame
Then looking up, she softly said.
MY name is Mammals Darling
-Ten me your mothers name, my DEAR
And STOPPING low paused to hear
The little maid seemed musing;
why, mammals names Ike mine, you moW,
But just because We love her 80,
We call her Mamma Darling"
sTeu me your papa's name" cried;
The little nnaiden's eyes grew wide;
NY papar Don't you knoW2
Why, ever since the baby died
Mamma and have always tried
To cheer him from his sorrow1ng;
And my mamma and love best
To call him Papa Darling"
-What did You call the baby, dearq'
The answer came quite low but clear:
-The baby-oh, I wonder what
They call him now in heaven;
But we had only one name here,
And that was Baby Darling"
Swift years few by, and once again
That little maid so tender
Stood by my side, but she had grown
Like lilies, tall and slender;
This time twas that called her name,
And swift the bushes grew like fame
At rosy mist of morning;
clasped her in my sarms and kissed
My tender-hearted Darling.

made with Medicis collar and revers in
black jet embroideries, with alternate
fastenings in Havana and dark chestnut.
1t matches the dress charmingly, the lat
ter being in white and Havana striped
faille, and the hat being in Havana felt
with black feathers and white flowers.
The mantleS proper are of course
much longer, and are made up this year
with exquisite taste. l saw one which
reached to the knees and was open on
the sides. 1t consisted of black velvet,
with handsome beaded applique trim
mings, and had a full ruche of black
feathers round the neck and down the
fronts. The sleeves were of satin
broche. Another in deep beige tint was
still longer, covering the entire dress. 1t
had dark brown applique trimmings, the
garnitured with fur, which encircled the
very high Medicis collar, giving the gar
ment an extremely stylish finish.
These long autumn wraps are very
necessary for evening wear on the YER
andas of country clubs and country
seats, whittier the gay crowds of pleasure
seekers tend during October. Such
wraps should be in some pale or delicate
shade of foule or cashmere, with the
yoke of Oriental tinsel or plush in a con-
trasting shades A very stylish autumn
wrap is made on the model of a yoke
cloak with either pleated or full back
and over-frill. which gives very pretty
cape effect to the top of the wrap. This
over-frill must be in graduated width to
suit the shape of the pointed yoke. Some
plaids make charming autumn wraps
combined with plush or velvet yokes.
Canvas cloth is also used, but it should
be lined with surah, which, however,
gives the garment much richer effect.
White cloth, too, makes a snowy even
ing wrap of this style, the top frill being
pinked out in round scollops, and the
yoke and high collar being made of
tinsel cloth, which may be laid directly
upon the cloth yoke of the wrap, the
collar being lined with pale colored
silk to give elegance of finish.
In the third illustration you will find
a very elegant combination costume con-
sisting of mauve peau de sole with pansy
faille embroidered with white iris, as
shown in the engraving. The waist and
sleeves have some charming bits of style
in them, the pansy faille being made in
Figaro jacket style, and the peau de sole
sleeves being pulled to the elbows, where
they are met by long tight-ftting cuffs
of faille. The hat-trimming and parasol
are in harmony with the tones of the
dress.

has reference to the coming winter, and

thinks nothing of sending to England for
a veterinary surgeon to prescribe for a
sick heifer. I would advise my strong
minded sisters to hunt up some other
test for their homilies besides the en-
broidered dresses, fur-trimmed cloaks
and lace petticoats of our fashionables.
And speaking of embroidered gar
ments, reminds me thatlI ought to have
word to say about those modish pelisses
for the carriage. They are made of
cloth reaching to the feet, and are gath
cred square upon velvet yokes, which
are richly embroidered. They may be
either plain or partly adjusted to the
figure, and, in either case, must have
very large sleeves, raised on the Shout
ders. But the great point is in the Sc
lection Of color. Here it is that you dis
play your artistic taste and good judg-
ment in setting off your peculiar style
of beauty. Chamois cloth lowered with
chestnut brown, gray strewn with flow
erets in dull tones, and old blue en-
broidered with black are delightful
combinations. Or you may have it
made quite plain, in cardinal, violet,
Titan red, Van Dyke blue, old green,
heliotrope, or even some shades of
orange. 1t will be noted that all these
colOrs belong to the great art epoch.
commonly known as the cinque cento.
If your objection to the cloth pelisse
be that you don't keep carriage,
might quote for your benefit the reply
made by celebrated fashionable lady
who, when asked why she didn't keep a
horse, answered that she couldn't find it
in her heart to rob her friends of the
pleasure Of taking her out riding. How
ever, if the carriage pelisse doesn't in
terest you, possibly this charming little
mantelet will I refer to the one worn
by the lady in the second illustration.
This stylish wool garment is in the pop
ular shade known as Havana, and is

bordered with gray ostrich feather tri1-
ming. A pale mauve Arabian silk ceilr-
ture catches UP the mantelet, as shown in
the engraving.
With. that delightfully."- whimsical and
altogether inconsequential mode of action

confessed, a style of footwear dainty,
enough for Queen Nab or Cinderella her

use of white pearls for dressing the

The Hairpin's Antics.

A young woman dropped steel
hairpin from her head as she was about
10 leave an electric car. It lay fat on
the floor until she had aIighted and the
diver turned the current on. Then
the hairpin rose and stood on its head.
When the current was turned off the
hairpin laid down; when it was put on
again the hairpin would stand up. The
incident afforded amusement for the

Without pausing to ferret out the why
and the wherefore it must be admitted
that London styles of female attire have
been extremely popular during the sea-
son just past, and we may as well make
up our minds that in all matters pertain
ing to the world of sport London will
hereafter make its influence felt in set
ting fashions for women as it has for
men. Paris finds it impossible to check
this influence, and is wisely yielding to
it; but just how far the French capital
will be willing to suffer this interference
remains to be seen.-Ddtsy Dart, dls C7I6-

BOLD BURGLARS.
THEY GO THROUGH THE RESIDENCE or Mr..
HENRY SPEYER,
Taking About $3.50 Worth Of PrOpsrty-Rsv Wat
kins Held for Court After Long Hearing.
Stealing Again-"Slsepers' Robbed.

One OF the boldest operations by bur
glars brought to light in this city for
some time back, was discovered at the
residence of Henry Speyer, No. Ills
Chaplinc street, about half-past six yes
terday morning. Thieves had entered
the house during the night, probably
about 1890 or a. m, and must have
spent two or three hours in the building,
as they ransacked it from top to bottom,
and drank considerable quantity of
beer and wine before leaving.
Mr.. Speyer went home about II
o'clock Monday night, and at once re-
tired. On rising about half-past SIX
the house was fonnd To be in consider
able disorder, and an examination
showed that Mr.. Speyer's gold watch,
two dollars in money, several pocket
books belonging to members OF the fam
ily, and quantity of clothing, and
several hats were taken. Mr.. Speyer
had S37 under his pillow,
which the thieves failed to
find, and they also overlooked a
considerable quantity of silverware in
some of the drawers they went through.
After making the tour of the house, the
thieves sat down in the dining room,
where they drank two bottles OF beer,
two bottles Of wine and some whisky.
A whole candle, which they had taken
from the kitchen, was almost consumed
when fonnd, indicating that several
hours had been spent in the house.
There is nothing to show how an en-
trance to the house was affected, as
none OF the doors or windows bear
marks.
A hat and pipe, dropped by one OF
the thieves, were found in the yard of
the residence after daylight.

There was another exhibition of base
ball on the Island grounds yesterday,
and one that was much more creditable
than the day previous. Still the recol-
lection of the first game, combined with
the raw, uncertain weather. kept many
away, and the audience yesterday was Il
little more than Sprinkling, which was
to be regretted, as both teams put up a
rather stiff game Of ball, that is, for the
first five or six innings.
Kennedy occupied the box for the

although Herman and Whistler managed

and those who got their bases, got them
mostly on balls, and scored largely
through the wild throwing of Catcher
Lyle and others.

George had never seen a base ball be-

on the whole was fairly entertaining
and kept the audience to the close. To

The Il. & o. Railroad People.
fhe Eilil0r nj Ihe RenIslfr..

SIR see many communications
suggesting a remedy for the ills the
city is heir to by reason Of past lcgisla-
ton, which allowed the Il. & o. railroad
to lay its tracks on Sixteenth street.
Mistakes have been made heretofore,
will be made again, and are making
now. With your permission, desire
TO submit something that is practicable
and that will get the tracks from Six
teenth street, but not from Seven
teenth. | take it that Seventeenth
street is the only inlet or outlet the Il.
IL 0. Company has now, as matters
stand.
If therefore she will commence at
Mt de Chantal station coming this way,
with a curve to the south, with line
that will enter the Reilly hill in ra-
vine back of Peter Trolls residence and
come out Oh this side in ravine
on the Manchester Coal Company's
property, where their coke ovens stand,
the road will be in Il straight line from
Mt. de Chantal to their depot, and in
line with Seventeenth street. After
passing from Seventeenth street let 1t
cross Market onto the Miller and Hub
bard property to point where bridge
could be thrown across the creek to
strike the south bank at the south end
of the new Main street bridge, now
building.
BY this route at least one mile in dis
lance between the depot and Mt. de
Chantal station would be cut of, a
straight line would be obtained, and all
the heavy grades and ugly crossings
that now exist on the line between
the depot and that station would
be done away with. This would
be the great advantages to the rail-
road company. The city would gain
the removal of tracks from Sixteenth
street and the abandonment of the
Hempfeld yard, for the purpose of
which it is now used. My object being
only to attract attention to this route,
will not discuss it further. but leave
that for the city and railroad represent
ativeS to do.
! will suggest, however, for them to
meet on the top of Reilly hill, near Mr..
A. Reymann's lIillview residence, where
they can get a birds-eye view of the
route from one end to the other and then
discuss it. 1 have no doubt Mr.. Rey-
mann would meet with them and enter
tain the party while they were discuss
ing the business in hand.
With respect, ETC.,
