Warm Weather Dresses.

"It is, indeed, a stupid and indolent
woman who cannot have dainty, pretty
dresses this season!" exclaimed young
woman, who was just putting the last
stitches into a delicate organdy.
"Just think of it, here is this dress; it
took fourteen yards of goods and have
spent two days time on it, and it is
pretty enough to wear anywhere.
have just finished black organdy, and
it is beauty. The skirt is made with
five straight widths and deep hem.
Above the hem is rufae sixteen inches
deep with hem three-fourths of an inch
wide and a shirred standing heading.
The waist is made with tucks the form
of yoke, and the lower part Of the
waist gathered into the round belt.
The sleeves are very full at the shoul-
ders, and as close to the lower arm as is
comfortable. The collar and the front
are trimmed with a finger wide plating
of the goods, set on in jabot fashion.
wear with this dress a very long sash
made of full width of black India silk,
tied in very long, loose bow at the
back. | don't like stumpy bows, they
give one humpbacked effect.
"There are lovely new fabrics in cot
ton, the most delicate through mus
Inns; and there is charming material
somewhat like the old fashioned barege,
made up with ruffies bound with silk or
ribbons Such dresses are exceedingly
pretty, and are useful for home or wa
tering place wear, for morning or in
formal days.
"lndia silk dresses are made with demi-
train, trimmed with lace ruff1es, either
set on plain or draped in festoons or fol-
lowing scalloped or pointed pattern.
"a number of pretty costumes have
been made with princess bodies, with
the sides draped in panier fashion. One
model has narrow fronts, draped over
the side sections, and with the ends left
long enough to tie in very large sash
bow, with ends falling almost to the hem
of the skirt. Sash ends with lace or
fringe are pretty, and one slender figure
has a very long, wide sash drapery, with
one edge elaborately trimmed with lace
This sash is drawn around the waist, the
lace trimmed edge falling over the skirt
of the dress. The ends are tied in a
loose knot, and cover large portion of
the back of the dress. A shoulder drap-
cry in similar fashion is knotted at the
front, the ends falling below the waist
line. New York Ledger.

Bowling and 0uoits for Women

Bowling has come to be recognized as
standing attraction in the way of win
ter sport, and an excellent substitute is
provided for summer use in the game of
lawn bowls. A number Of different
sized black balls are prouided, fattened
at one side. These are numbered, and
two light wooden balls are used in play
ing This is very much like the original
game of bowls which was played in olden
times on the green, and is full of inter
est. A very large lawn is not required
for the playground, and great deal of
interest is attached to the game. It is
as simple as the game of tenpins, and
fully as fascinating for outdoor amuse
ment.
Quoits have long been recognized as a
good game among men, but there is no
reason why it should not be popular
with women, if the weights are not made
too heavy. AS a substitute for this, how
ever, the game of ring toss has been pro-
vided. Rings formed of light materials
are thrown at series of pegs, each one
possessing a different value. The game
is made up by the person scoring the
greatest number of points in a certain
number of throws, and much accuracy
is sometimes attained by the players.
Somewhat similar to this is pitchette.
A large board is furnished, upon which
are series of pegs, each one bearing a
number. This board is intended to stand
upright, and rings are thrown at it from
a certain distance so as to catch and
hang upon one of the pegs. Much skill
is called for in the playing of the game,
and the first attempts are generally
lamentable, which shows that there is
more to the game than is imagined at
first sight.-Harper's Bazaar.

Pityipg an Official.

When M. Theirs, once president of the
French republic, revisited his native
town he found one or two old men who
had been the companions of his boyhood
some sixty years ago, and whom he had
not seen since.
He asked one of them what he had
been doing, to which the old man replied,
with evident satisfaction, that he had
been driving fourishing trade in the
boot and shoe line.
Sand what have you been aboutY' he
in his turn asked of M. Theirs.
The latter explained that he was the
ex-president of the republic.

The Prediction Was Verified.

Many true word, the saying goes, is
often spoken in jest, but no more striking
example is at hand than that furnished by
a recent news item from Connecticut. At
an excursion of New Britain people few
days ago a jolly German, Christopher Dahl,
joked with Mr.. Curtin, to whom he had
been introduced that day.
"Are you Mr.. Curtin the grocer, or Mr..
Curtin the undertaker2" asked Dahl jocu-
larly. "You know there are two Curtins
in New Britain"
"Yes, know there are," replied Curtin;
"but Pm Curtin the undertaken"
Every WE'LL" replied Dahl seriously, and
shaking hands with Mr.. Curtin, he added:
Then you will be my undertaken very
soon."
His prediction was verified within three
hours. Dahl was instantly killed and hor-
ribly mutilated by the excursion train in
returning to New Britain. Curtin was his
undertaken.

MANNING A WINNER.

The Result of the Glove Contest at the
Novelty Theater.
About two hundred people or more
assembled at the Novelty theater last
evening to witness the ten round go be-
tween Billy Manning and Burt Goldie.
The former undertook to stop or best
Goldie in ten rounds. Mr.. Frank
Phillips was selected as referee. Tom
Rodman and T. Savage held the chro-
nometers. The principals entered the
ring few minutes after the announced
time. There were no preliminary settos.
Both men weighed about LAT pounds,
although Goldie appeared to be heavier,
owing to his spare build. Nothing very
effective was done in the first few
rounds. Both men were cautious, Man
ming contenting himself with an occa-
sional lead. Manning had slightly the
best of the third round.
The fifth round opened somewhat
lively. Manning rushed his opponent
against the scenery, and cries of foul
came from the audience. The men were
ordered to continue, and the excitement
was getting worked up. Thus far there
was no material advantage, although
Manning did most of the leading. Man
ming opened up more aggressively in the
seventh round. He landed several
times on his opponents jaw, but got
several taps in return. The crowd was
trifle enthused when the men were
called up for the eighth round. 1t
proved to be quite an exciting round,
Manning rushing Goldie, who at times
escaped punishment by clever ducking.
The round was characterized by hard
fighting, and Manning had a little the
best of it.
The ninth round created most
decided sensation. After some
very rapid exchanges, Goldie was
fought down, and while he was pros
trate Manning struck him light blow
on the arm. An exciting scene followed.
Goldie got up and was knocked down by
Manning, where he lay motionless. The
excitement of the crowd had reached
a fever heat and many stood up in their
seats yelling foul. The seconds got in
to the ring and pandemonium reigned.
Goldie was picked up and carried to his
chair. His face showed marks Of punish
ment, but he was more winded than any
thing else. As soon as quiet was restored,
the referee announced that Manning
had done the most of the leading and
decided him the winner.
There was quite difference of opinion
in regard to the affair. The Goldie ad-
mirers held that he should have got the
fight on foul, while Manning's friends
claimed that it was slight blow given
on the impulse of the moment. There
was no doubt that Manning struck
Goldie slight blow while he was on the
ground. 1t was technical foul, to be
| sure, but the referee did not consider
that it affected the result. 1t probably
did not, but professional fighters should
be made to respect the Marquis of
Queensbury rules, even if they do get a
little mad and excited. Goldie collapsed
rather suddenly near the end and clear
ly showed lack of ring experience.
He made fair fight throughout. He
fell once in order to avoid punishment,
without being hit, which is not alto
gether according to Hoyle. Altogether
the spectators got value for their money
even ii the termination was slightly un-
satisfactory to quite number.

Every available foot on the Hudson river
front between Twentieth and Sixtieth
streets was covered with gazers, and 30
were all the housetops and the points on
the Jersey shore, when at 9:15 p. m. the
flagship Chicago gave the signal and turned
on her two lights Of 3,700 candle power
each, and each set in the focus of the most
powerful reflector known. All the other
vessels set their lights in order, and then
the search light sweep" began, guided by
the Chicago's signals Thirteen broad
bands or streams of pure white light
spouted into the clouds from the anchored
fieet-a sight so awfully grand that not a
cheer arose from the 100000 or more people
who witnessed it, but convulsive wavy
motion and general a-h-h showed the ex-
citement.
Then the streams of light began to turn
this way and that. One fell on a small
boat two miles away and every motion of
its occupants could be seen as plainly as at
noon. Another struck a group mile and
quarter away and they could read fine
print in the pure cold light. Far up the
river every outline of the rocks was shown
and the sails of yachts in the distant bay
were made luminous The spray and
steam of ferryboa showed rainbows and
the expression on faces mile distant was
discernible through the ships glasses 1t

Under the Wheels.

George Coleman of North Walpole
legs crushed last night. He was walking
on the track and stepped off one track to
get out of the way of switcher and
was struck by train on the other track
One leg was taken off between the knee
and hip and the other between the knee
and ankle. At late hour he was not
expected to live. He is middle aged
man with a family, some of whom are
large enough to care for themselves. ThA
lesson of this accident ought to teach
all who are crossing or standing at or
near the tracks the danger OF being care
less. Many accidents of similar nature
are but barely averted, but still people
are thoughtless. Since this happened,
numerous instances, where one or more
persons barely escaped, have been related.
Indeed. it is strange that more are not
manned or killed here than nov. The
situation of the yard is peculiar and all
the foot travel for North Walpole goes
that way. The amount of business done
keeps several engines busy all the
time. There is scarcely minute in the
day that two or more are not moving
about. Where such is the case extreme
care is needed to insure ones safety in
passing across the tracks. This accident
should serve as warning to all whose
business or pleasure makes il necessary
for them to cross or stand upon the
tracks.
Later-Mr. Coleman died this morning
from the effects of his injuries.
