PASTOR AND PEOPLE.
kChurches, as Well as Trade, Are Now
Affected by Absenteeism.
MINISTER'S ON SUMNER OUTINGS
Some of the Topics to Be Presented by and
to Stay-at-Homes.
GLEANINGS FROM CHURCH FIELDS

The effect of the regular summer hegira is
felt IN the churches as well as at the places
OF commerce. Many of our leading minis
tiers are absent on their summer vacation,
but churches are kept open and the stay at
homes are permitted to enjoy the ministra-
tions of substitutes. Pittsburg preachers,
as a rule, fare as well as any in the land.
Congregations are as willing as preachers
for summer rest, and most of our churches
are agreed that their pastors should have
summer outing. The hard-working minister
who is privileged to spend month or more
in the mountains or at the seashore will be
able to do more and better work for the
year than if he was kept in the harness for
the twelve months.

EMMA v. SHERIDAN.

This short serial story will COM
mence on SUNDAY, August
%, and will be completed in five in
stallments. 1t is a story of theatrical
life-brilliant and engrossing in man
ner - truthfully descriptive in its
treatment of incidents behind the
scenes-neither heightening nor de-
stroying the popular illusions, and
possessing great excellence of plot
and characterization. 1t is a clean
and polite story, although it intro
duces contrastingly good and bad
personages, and embodies a realistic
account of the actual experiences of
actresses.
Miss Sheridan is a writer of ability.
She is daughter of General George
". Sheridan, an accomplished actress
and a beautiful young lady. Most of
the literary matter put forth as from
the pens of actresses is fraudulent,
for it generally consists of their ideas
formulated by professional writers.
Miss Sheridan's work is wholly origi-
nal, and her published sketches,
poems and stories have been highly
successful. Nor does she write for
the sake of exploiting herself as an
actress. She contemplates no starring
tour, and, as leading actress for three
years Of the Boston Museums cele-
brated stock company, her own theat-
rical position before cultured and
fashionable public is already gained.
She has written out of her personal
observation in "Freda." Although
the characters and incidents are not
duplicates Of real things, they are
sincere and accurate in manner, and
are powerfully presented.

HUNTING TEN MILLIONS.
A Violently Insane Man Escapes From His
Keeper at the Union Station.


Nick George, a German who resides at
Lucyville, Washington county, was at the
office of Inspector McAleese yesterday
afternoon in search of Charles Hotter, an
insane man. Mr.. George says that Hotter
is miner who boarded with hill. A few
days ago he became insane, threatening
everybody he came in contact with. Mr.
George brought the unfortunate man to this
city on Thursday afternoon, arriving at the
Union station at 1870 o'clock. He was
bringing the man here for treatment at one
of the hospitals. While they were stand
ing IN the depot shed the Panhandle train
which brought them in started back. While
it was moving Hotter jumped aboard and
was carried up into the yard. He has not
been seen since.
The missing man is powerfully built
man, probably between As and 80 years of
age, and wears black mustache and is
dressed in a suit of blue clothes. He be-
lieves that there is S10,0O0,000 coming to
him in this city, and is probably roaming
around hunting for them.

Dixmont, Sues for His Property.
Robert W. Bell yesterday entered suit
against Charles L. Mcintyre, administrator
of Henry Williams, deceased, to recover
g., 900 on bond. Bell is the old soldier
who was confined for time in Dixmont,
but escaped and was afterward adjudged
sane. He st ates that in 1881 he was ad-
judged lunatic. Selma NJ. Rowe took
charge of his person and estate. She was
directed to give bond in the sum of s., 900
and Henry Williams became her surety.
In May, 1890, she filed an account show
ing that she had collected S4 4,316 20 belong
ing to Bell, but had expended all of it.
Exceptions to the account were filed and L.
L. Davis appointed auditor. He found
that she owed Bell S2,667 20 and she was
ordered TO pay that amount. She has since
paid on account S465, leaving due a balance
of S2,202 20. The suit is now brought
against the administrator of her bondsman
to recover the full amount of the bond, S.
600. On May "a, 1890, Bell was adiudged
to be of sound mind and the appointment of
a committee revoked.

PRESENT AND COMING FASHION HINTS

Pink and black are the colors we are be-
coming thoroughly well used to seeing. On
the shopping streets in the morning women
are out in black tailor dresses with pink
linen cuffs and collar A black straw hat
with pink roses or perhaps pink holly
hook at the belt adds the finish that is FASH
ionable, says writer in the New York
Recorder. In the afternoon or at sunset,
when the breeze tempts to slow promenades,
black delaines come out, printed with pink
flowers and green leaf or two. Pink
chiffon ties are worn at the throat, and one
comes to expect the low-crowned sailor hat
with band of pink velvet about its wide
brim. If any other headgear is substituted
there is q sense of being defrauded,
Nobody can attribute high order of
beauty to the very stiff straight driving
coats and outing garments we borrow from
England this summer. ''They are thor
oughly correct" and with that we have to
accept their ugly masculinity. The cape,
figure of which is given, is cut, as they
would say in the argot of fashion in use on
the other side of the Atlantic, very smartly.
1t is a double cape, supposed to be of pale
fawn cloth, double-breasted and fastened
with large buttons in mother of pearl.
1t has strapped velvet collar and strapped
seams.

Ifpeople must get married at the first of
August, there are ingenious people who do
their best to make the ceremony comfortable.
In Brooklyn not many days ago as pretty a
wedding was arranged as if it had taken
place in Newport or at Lenox, or anywhere
else where the world is supposed to be rus
ticating. Cool green and white mating
covered the parlor floors, and green and
white cretonne was the summer dress of the
furniture Green vines of wild clematis,
with their feathery white flowers, were
trained about the mirrors and festooned
against the muslin curtains. The fireplace
was filled with rushes and cattails, from
which started up the stalks of the wild
carrot, with fiat, white circles of blossom.
Some pink hollyhocks in china jars gave
delightful touches of color to the simple,
home-like decorations.
Six little girls were the bridemaids, and
they wore white organde frocks, two with
white and two with pink and two with blue
sashes The bride, tall and very lovely
girl, wore white silk dress cut in Empress
style and absolutely without trimmings.
At the throat and waist and fastening her
tulle veil were clusters of white sweet peas.

The latest Partisan fashion of an elaborate

The latest Partisan fashion of an elaborate
ly trimmed foundation skirt of rich material
owes its origin to the trained skirt, whicha
as it must be lifted to avoid soiling, neces-
states that the skirt beneath thus exposed
shall be presentable. Partisan modistes
who are always ready to make the most of
any pretext for increasing the cost of gown,
have seized the opportunity, and the founda-
tion skirt now is generally much more
elaborate affair than the over gown. In the
first place, it is almost always made of silk,
though the frugal young Princess Victoria,
it is said, had many of the gowns in her
trousseau made up over a linen foundation.
The silk is Of light texture to avoid weight

Most of the new cotton dresses, it may be
said for the benefit of amateur dressmakers,
have no foundation. There are usually six
breadths, the three front ones straight and
plain, those in the back gathered into as
narrow compass as possible When there
is foundation it is used for the front
breadths only. A long basque bodice is
requisite, and tolerably full sleeves. Lace
in deep founcing widths is almost as much
employed upon cottons as on more expen-
siye materials.

DAUGHTERS OF REBKKAH.
The Grand Assembly Elects Officers fo
the Ensuing Year.

But little else of outside interest was
done By the Grand Assembly of Daughters
Rebekah yesterday other than the election
OF officers for the ensuing year. The new
officers are:
President, Mrs. Sarah Thurlow, OF
Seattle; vice president, Mrs Mary
F. Bean, of Tacoma; grand secre-
tarv, Mrs. Mary P. Hale, Of
Tacoma; grand treasurer, Mrs. Ella
Wilson, of Pomeroy; grand warden.

conductress, Mrs. T. n. Murphy, OF
Sprague; grand chaplain, Mrs. Dora 8.
Waite, OF Dayton; inside guardian, Mrs.
Mary NJ Liddell, Of Colfax, and outsids
guardian, Miss Josie Meyer. of Walla
Walla.
A resolution fixing the treasurer's bond
at s., 900 was properly referred.
A resolution was offered by Mrs. Libbis
Gordon, of Tacoma, and adopted, calling
for the appointment of reception COM
mittee TO act in conjunction with a like
committee Of the Grand Lodge.
The Grand Assembly adjourned at noon
until a. m. this morning, so as to enable
the Rebekahs to participate in the after
Moons excursion.
1t had been intended to have the degree
OF chivalry conferred upon Mrs. Mary r.
Bean, the hard-worked secretary, who was
yesterday elected to the vice presidents
chair, but this was found 10 be an impossi-
bility owing TO the fact that there was no
canton officer present to officiate. This
degree was conferred upon the present
past president, Mrs. Emma Z. Shaw, Of
Walla Walla, three years ago. Sister
Adelaide Poor of this city was allowed n
seat in this city yesterday.
