Summer Millinery.

The summer bonnets are the airiest
"creations" that have yet come
from the milliner's hands. They are
often mere saucers OF sheer tulle pro-
Jectlng over the eyes, and made with
a transparent crown OF chiffon or
gauze, or a perfectly open crown, part
ly yelled by a vine Of roses.
The hat illustrated is OF fancy lace
straw in the new shade OF Stanley
brown, with crown OF maize-colored
chiffon, studded with gold and brown
wasps. Large jeweled butterflies stand
up among the folds. With this hat is
worn high ruche OF black lace, trim
med to correspond with the hat.
Shapes already begin to vary from
the toque, and there are many dainty
little English cottage bonnets, in fine
fancy straws and chips, that are trim
med in broad low effects, in CONTRA
distinction to the high styles Of trim
ming generally seen, which build the
flat shapes into considerable heighth,
The new sailor hats, with crown of
ordinary heighth, but sunk in the rim
SO that it appears below the rim and
but an inch or less above it, is a grace
tul style for young ladies. A wide
band of fine flowers conceals the crown
under the brim and forms halo trim
ming around the face. A navy blue
sailor in this shape and in a purplish
cast OF color is trimmed, simply, with
band ofinch-wide black velvet, which
passes around the crown and hangs
down the back in cluster, streamers
and loops. The hat is finished by a
full face trimming of violets or bluets.
For regular street wear, the bonnet
may match the costume in a
darker shade, or a black bonnet
may be worn, according to the fancy
OF the wearer.-Good Housekeeping.
Moths.
10 exterminate carpet moths:
Saturate q large cloth with water
strongly impregnated with ammonia.
After wringing it as dry as possible,
spread upon the carpet, and iron until
thoroughly dry. It is not advisable
to press hard as that t1attens the nap
Of the carpet. Go over the entire
carpet in this manner. The hot
steam not only kills the little pests
and destroys their eggs, but with the
addition of the ammonia freshens and
brightens the carpet also.
To avoid carpet moths: If you find
no appearance ofmoths in your carpets,
use an "oS''ce of prevention" In
other words, bffter your carpet has
been laid, sponge thoroughly in
strong solution of salt and water. It
is we'll, also, to sprinkle salt under
meath the carpet, in dark corners,
under bookcases, touches, etc., where
the carpet is least used. Above all,
keep your rooms sufficiently light, re-
Numbering that moths should be
numbered among those wicked
creatures who "prefer darkness rather
than light, because their deeds are
evil."-Good Housekeeping.

New YORK, April 2l-The Herald says
"The nomination Of Secretary Blaine fol

candidate for the nomination, but bis
friends believe that he will not refuse it IL
it comes to him.

Mr. Blaine listened with his usual

No PRoMIsE oE MARRIAaE-
Journalist Huribert Defeats Miss Gladys
Evelyn.


LONDON, April 2l.--A large crowd gath
cred in court TO witness the closing scenes
ia the Evelyn-H -Hurlbert case Judge Cave,
in continuing his charge, began by draw
ing attention to the letter which purported
TO have been sent by the plaintiff from
Paris 70 Mrs. Hunlbert, and which WIS
dated September, 1890, whereas in her
diary, as well as Ia the evidence she had
given to the court, she had said she was
not aware that Mr.. Hurlbert was a mar
ried man until January Of last year.
Mr. Candy hereupon said that his client
did not admit she wrote this letter at that
time, II was only the envelope OF letter
which had been produced. At this mo.
ment Mrs. Hurlbert created a sensation by
remarking, 4 will not stay here and hear
such lies
She then demanded hearing, the judge
having commented Saturday on the fail
ure OF the defendant TO introduce her tes-
timony. Mrs. Hurlbert's demand created
a great sensation. Hurlbert motioned TO
his wife TO be silent, and she was finally
he'd away, the judge then proceeding with.
out further interruption. The defence ex-
planned that Mrs. Hurlbert arrived from
Rome after the defendants case had closed.
and was anxious to testify in her hus-
bands behalf.
The judges words left no doubt in the
mind Of the public or of the jury that he
believed Hurlbert and Murray were one
aud the same person.
In closing the charge he said there were
two points in particular on which the jury
would have 70 decide The first was, Were
the letters in the handwriting Of the de
fendant, and the second, If they were writ
ten by him did he really make the plaintiff
a promise of marriagef
The jury retired and returned an hour
and half later with the verdict; 1--WE find
that there was no promise Of marriage
made by the defendant to the plaintiff. .
Mr.. Hurlbert at once left the court
room, while the plaintiff said to a reporter
that she intended to press the case again,
and that Mr.. Candy had received dozens
Of letters Offering information about Mr..
Hurlbert, some going 50 far as TO say
the jury was bribed. The judge said, after
court adjourned, that the finding of the
Jury meant that they believe Hurlbert was
Wilfred Murray and that he wrote the
letter, but that he did not promise TO
marry the plaintiff

NEW YORK, April 2l--A special to The
Post from Hartford, Conn, says: Il now
seems almost certain that Bulkeley's law
yers will attempt to delay the governor
ship suit by raising at the outset the ques.
tion OF jurisdiction in the courts. This il
foreshadowed by the statement Of the
Hartford Post, Rulkeley's local organ,
which says, Prominent lawyers Of both
parties agree in thinking that the question
oflurisdiction must OF necessity be raised, .
astatement which X is said is far from
true either Of the Democratic lawyers or
Of the Merwin wing Of the Republicans.
To Bulkeley's counsel in the case have
been added Ex-Governor Henry B. Har-
rison, of this city; Henry c. Robinson, Of
Hartford, and ex- Con gresham Brandagee.
Of New London. The Democratic state
committee have sent out blanks TO be filed
by the town committee men at the recount
Of the votes on May g. The blanks call for
statements showing the character of every
