A BALAkLAvA RELIC.

Turns Tn in ST. Vonis

William Yates, OF st. Louis was .
member Of the Seventh Hussars nm.
der the command of the Earl OF Cardi-
gan which was engaged in the prin-
ciple battles of the Crimea.
In speaking of the Balaklava charge.
Mr. Yates said: at was terrible
battle; through jealousy of the other
troops our brigade had been accused
OF neglecting opportunities from The
indecision and over-caution OF opr
leaders, and naturally we were stunp
ana declared that at the first opportu
nifty we would show the world that we
were not too good to fight. Our work
for some time previous had been that
of skirmishing and foraging.
Our work in this direction wa.
perhaps better appreciated by the
Russians than by our fellow soldiers.
as on one occasion our company cap
tured 100 Cossacks who were guard
ing supply train of 10 wagons OF
bread; this and a few minor events
embittered the Russians against the
Seventh Hussars, and when Lord Rag
lan's order to charge was received the
danger OF the attack was fully real
lied, but, with a determination t.
overcome the prejudice against US, we
started on that memorable charge, our
commander some distance in the lead.
When our colors came into view the
enemy quickly concentrated the fire Of
their batteries directly upon us, with
what deadly effect is well known.
Only fifty of the 600 returned in
the saddle. In the half hours
work the field was strewn with
our command; $50 were dead and over
100 wounded. | was among the latter

Mr.. Yates exhibited several scars
which he received in the battles Of
Sebastopol, bayonet wound in the
hand. shot on the lower jaw, an in
jured eye caused by the spinters Of
two balls meeting in mid-air and leg
badly Scared from the pull down.
Barring his left arm, Mr. Yates showed
"Cardigans Jolly Boys" plainly tat

look the sleeve of the other arm rolled
up bringing to view the Tower of the
Malakoff neatly pictured on the fore

seven years ago, coming to this coun-

an American citizen, prouder of his
allegiance to the United States than

A BUTCHER BOYS vALoR.
You all know what becomes of the Door
chap and the rich girl when he is valorous
in her presence-in novels. They marry.
Here is the real thing. A pair of maddened
horses attached to handsome carriage that
was overturned and splintered into atoms
flew down Fifth avenue yesterday at such a
pace that no one dared to confront them.
Coachmen turned their horses into cross
streets as they discovered the runaways ap-
preaching, and passers-by withdrew to DO
sltlons OF safety to gaze aghast at the fright
full scene. Finally, butcher lad of 20 dis
covering the situation, rushed out into the
center of the street and stood waiting for the
runaway team, his head lowered little. his
hands outstretched and his eyes fixed. See
ing his strange figure in its long white
frock, the horses swerved to one side. and.
as they did so, the butcher boy began rum
ming ahead OF them, closing up nearer to
them as he did so. Just as they reached
him, still shying to the side of the road, he
reached out his hand and ght one of them
by the bride.
No one can say how the act was accom-
plished, but in another moment the horses
and the butcher boy were sprawling on the
pavement in an indistinguishable mass.
Then they were all three on their feet again,
and the boy was at the horses heads, while
both animals stood quivering with fear.

dressmakers are the paper models. which
are exact duplicates of full costumes in
color, drapery and trimming, in miniature
about 10 inches in height, with full-siz,
patterns accompanying. With these wo.
man can see just how every fold and gather
is laid, and every line of trimming and
hem. 1t is absolute pleasure to fashion g
costume by the help of these clever models
which reduce the work of making the in.
tricate looking gowns of the mode to com.
parative simplicity.
THE BEST IN BLACK.
The black dress, indispensable to every
lady's outfit, and more becoming than any
if properly made, is Henrietta, batiste
cloth, which looks like fine, firm canvas
with substance and lightness, the silk
camelshair twill which repels dust and
wears better than any less expensive fabric,
or the drap d'ete coming in favor again.
For these gowns the front width is almost
invariably draped, the sides in fat, shall

pleat, giving the simplicity of the plain
English skirt, without its blankness.
Handsome Henrietta dresses show lengths
of fine silk passementerie without beading,

Black cashmeres have skirts with side
pleats meeting in front and full gathered
back, each pleat having two-inch gros grain
ribbon stitched down its entire length, with
three loops at the front. This trimming is
not new this year, but the effect is too good
to be lald aside. Other cashmeres and sum-
mer fannels have the pleats striped with
hne sontache, three-quarters of an inch
apart, and these simple trimmings freshen

Gordon pieating is too pretty to be quite
given mp, but is seen more in white dresses,
lace and children's wear. The tine pleats an
inch wide have really the same effect, and
wear endlessly. If they are plenty of work
to make, they lengthen the wear of skirt
three times as much as the plain fashions.
But to look well, these pleats must be
stitched to the foundation invisibIy, as the
