The Cut of the Fall Coat.

The Prince Albert coat has not realized
the promise that its inirequent appear
ance in light summer fabrics gave Of its
probable reinstatement in the fall. In
fact, this coat Of demi-dress has been
superseded by the four button black
thibet cutaway-the fourth button not
intended to close in front. Ths lapel OF
this coat has an unskimped appearance,
and buttons low enough TO favor three.

The collar is also cut so as to be ample,

the back of the coat. There is a slant
pocket for the 'kerchief and a change
pocket with flap. The coat is cut well
in to the figure. and the cutaway not too

A NICKEL IN THE SLOf.

THE penny-in-the-slot machine is
growing in depravity. 1t has now
taken to throwing dice.
THERE are about $4,000 nicloel-in-the-
slot machines in use in this country and
they comprise fifty varieties.
A PRINTER put a penny in the slot of
a machine intended to prove a mans
striking power, and then punched the
pad offered to receive the blow. The
spring didn't work, his wrist was
broken, and the jury gave him $50.
THE English postal authorities have
introduced nickel-in-the-slot machines
for the sale of postage stamps. The
town council of Iverness has just given
permission for the erection Of the first
machines. -
THE latest plan for beating the nickel
in-the-slot photograph is for two men to
drop one nickel into the aperture and
each hold tube to his ear. The music,
speech or song ground out by the ma
chine then costs them only two and .
half cents each

BAKING IN JAPAN.
Bread and Cake Fast Growing In Popular
Favor.


Favor.
Most remarkable is the universal
favor that bread and similar foury con-
eoctions are beginning to enjoy. This
article as food has also been complete
ly Japanized, and sells in forms I'M
known to westerners- Tsulxe-pan,
sold by peripatetic vendors, who push
their wares along in a tiny-roofed hand
cart, is much liked by the poorer
classes. 1t consists of slices-thick,
generous sices-of bread dipped In roy
and brown sugar, and then fried or
toasted. Each slice has skewer
passed through it, which the buyer re-
turns after demolishing the bread One
cannot speak highly of this bread. The
dough is heavy and the color an I'M
healthy yellowish-gray. But the best
Japanese flour is equal it is said to
California No. 5, which is high praise
indeed.
Flour is now used in many other
ways besides the manufacture of simple
bread. There is Kashi-yan, ''cake-
bread" which is sold everywhere. AS
the name implies, it is a sort of sweet
breadstuff, made into cakes of various
sizes and artistic figures, according to
the skill and fancy of the baker. t GA
European palate this Kashi-yan is
rather dry and tasteless-''too much
crumb,'' as the precocious youth said of
Sairey Camp. But it is very cheap,
and for five ser one can get huge
wager bag full. Kasuteira, or sponge
cake, is not so much sought after as it
used to be. Yet some bakeries, such
as the Fugetsu-do and Tsuboya, excel
in producing the lightest and most de-
licious of spOnge-cake.-Yolz ohama

RIDDLED HIS BODY.
Soldiers Avenge the Death OF a Com
rade--A. j. Hunt, the Slayer of
Walla.

The following account Of the doings of
the Fourth Cavalry, stationed for a year
or more at Fort Lowell under Col. Comp
ton, will be read with interest by the
many friends of that regiment made
when here.
WALLA WALIA, Wash, April "a
shortly after o'clock tonight A. j. Hunt,
the slayer Of Private Miller, was lynched
by soldiers from the garrison, and fell IN
the court yard riddled with sixteen
bullets, four of which entered his head.
Early in the evening Sheriff Mcfarland
received intelligence that an attempt
would be made tonight to lynch Hunt,
and he, in company with Prosecuting
Attorney Bradford, repaired to the gar
rison, and told Colonel Compton what
was feared, and asked him to assiet them
which the Colonel promised to so do by
having check-roll called after taps at IL
o'clock. The sheriff returned and en-
gagged number Of extra guards, but all
Of them had not arrived, when mob of
sixty or seventy soldiers demanded that
the officers open the doors OF the Jail,
which was refused, and they at once be-
gan at work with hammer and chisel to
break in.
Again they demanded admittance and
said they would give those inside half a
minute to open the door, wneE they
would blow up the court house with
dynamite. Further resistance than be-
ing useless, the doors were opened and
thirty or for'y cooked revolvers were
leveled at the heads Of all inside and the
h. Iap,nnIAA he
keys were given up and when Hunts
cell was shown them the soldiers quickly
took him out into the court house yard
and about thirty shots were fired.
The plans Of the soldiers were care
fully laid, as the sentinels who were
posted on all the streets approaching
the court house, with cooked caIbines
in their hands, halted every passer-by
and compelled him to retrace his steps
under threat of instant death. Even
the telephone wire to the garrison was
cut, rendering quick communication
with the officers impossible.
After the shooting had stopped the
soldiers all ran off and Hunt was found
dead within fifty feet Of the court house
door. The people who heard the shots
| knew what happened, as threats to lynch
Hunt had been heard during the past
forty eight hours, and in few minutes
1000 people had congregated. Women
| and children screamed and wept in the
excitement, and to make confusion worse
the frebell began ringing, which rapidly
increasd the already large crowd.
| Hunts body was carried into the
court house and an inquest was held
1t will be very difficult to identify those
concerned in the shooting though Lot
] over half Of them were masked. The
excitement had quieted down at mid
| night.
The coroner's jury found that Hun
came TO bis death by sixteen gunshO
wounds, Inflicted at the hands of mob
who, from the description Of their cloth
ing, are supposed to be soldiers; but IL
particular person could be named; alsC
that the sheriff used every precau
ton in his power to project the pris
| oner"

Soma Big Indian Rugs,

The rugs that are hung over all the

and measure 50 by 80 feet, and each
weighs about 1, 900 pounds. They would

is used to denote the process of furnish

is rather worse, on the whole, than 'sui-

''PsEUDoPATHY" and "pseudotherapy"
have been added to the medical vocab-
ulary by Oliver Wendell Holmes. This
first of these words signifies the quack
science of disease and the other means
the quack method of healing. .

MURDERER DALEY
OF Bisbee, Now an Iron Moldcr in
England.

The cold blooded and deliberate
murder Of man in the performance OF
duty rouses the neighborhood in which
the deed is done to the highest pitch,
and the matter is not so soon forgotten
as appearances might indicate.
About a year ago w. w. Lowther,
constable at Bisbee, while in the per
Torrance of duty-the serving Of war
rant-was deliberately shot dead at the
door of the man wanted-a party named
Daley, so years old, a hard case and
deservedly unpopular. Reward notices
were circulated near and far, in the total
sum of $500, SlCC0 10y the citizens OF
Bisbee, $1,000 by the Copper Queen Co.,
aud 500 by the BOARD Of supervisors OF
Cochise county.
This. it was thought, would surely
bring the murderer from some point,
but such proved not the case. A gen
tleman in the city from Bisbee now
states that in his opinion Daley con-
cealed himself ia one Of the numerous
caves in that vicinity, with all OF which
was acquainted, and there remained
till such opportunity OF escape as offer
ed could be improved. Then, possibly
with the aid OF friends, he made his os
cape and is believed TO have gone to Eng
land, whe.e formerly he was engaged as
an iron worker, being molder by trade.
With the view of confirming this sus-
picion a party in this city having rela-
tives near where DALEY was supposed to
have gone, wrote to inquire If such @
party as tailed with Dailey's descrip-
ton, 80 years old, round face, weigh
ing 165 pounds, and giving more minute
description, was seen in that portion OF
the world, and more especially if he was
to be found around some of the iron
works there. A few days ago the
answer came. Such q man did come
there several months since; he tallies
with the description, is an iron worker
and can be captured whenever wanted.
