The fashionable young man now writes
with a quill pen, the feather parts of
which bear pansies, violets or lilies,
painted thereupon by his best girl. The
effects are charming. Sometimes the
whole pen, feathers and all, is dyed a
delicate pink or blue or green. Then the
effects are still more dainty. Before
your girl goes away this summer. young
man, she ought to give you a couple Of
quilts, bearing respectively pansies for
thoughts) and forget-me-nots. If she
does, and if she's just about the incest
girl on the ~footstool, wade right in
wade into ink, that is; and don't doubt
but that she'll be glad to get your let
tiers.
But quill pens are not the only hand
painted novelties. Imagine a man wear
ing, with a dress suit, a shirt the bosom
of which bears work in colorsl OF course
it is horrible, vulgar, barbarous. But
still the fad exists, and grows, too. Not
long ago a rich westerner appeared at a
Dime in Germantown with a water
color picture of Pixies Peak d~elicately
painted IN his shirt bosom close to the
edge of the waistcoat. The tints were
softened, and the clouds gradually faded
away until the white eXpanse of natural
shirt began again near the lower stud.
OF course the innovation created a good
deal of talk, and is hardly to be followed
by residents of a civilized land; but, all
the same, the idea originated a year ago

New YORK, July l5.-At today's
meeting of the advisory board of the
Western Traffic Association a number of
members of the ASSOCIATION absented
themselves. Jay Gould and his right
bower, Sydney Dillon, were among the
missing. The fact is things went wrong
with Gould at yesterdays meeting and he
left the hotel last night a greatly disap-
pointed man. The -postponement of the
Joint agency plan, the adoption of which
was earnestly advocated bg Gould. Dillon
aud Clark, was unexpected, and the sub
sequent decision regarding the appeal Of
the Missouri Pacific on the Hutchinson
salt traffic was virtually a defeat for the
Gould interests. Mr.. Gould Is said to be
in a delicate state of health, and it is said
he has left the city. The advisory board
held but one session today and adjourned
carly in the afternoon until October, when
the next meeting vii! be held in ChIcago.
The question OF the traffic on the Indiana,
Illinois ana Iowa lines from the Missouri
river was referred to the full board OF
commissioners to arrange the matter in
accordance with the rules of the assOcia-
ton. The board adopted a resolution to
the effect that certain export grain traffic

Mr.. William d. Howells' determine
ton to take up his abode in New York
city is due less to any dissatisfaction
with Boston than to his discovery that
New York is the place to make money
even for a realistic novelist. Though
Mr.. Howells does not believe in senti-
ment, professionally, yet it has had a
powerful influence in keeping him in
Boston. He has also been led to over
come his aversion to the public press,
and has Joined the number of those who
sell their literary products to the syndi-
Gates. One of his stories is to appear in
one Of our Sunday newspapers serially,
and he got a bigger price for it than he
has for half a dozen of his novels pub
lished in book form.
Yet it is something of an experiment
to lay Mr.. Howells' writings before aver
age newspaper readers. Those who ad-
mire him admire him immensely, and
make up by the intensity of their devo-
ton, perhaps, for the smallness of their
number. One of his books an edition of
only 1900 copies was printed, and had
he not received n good price for it from
the magazine in which it appeared the
time that he had spent in writing it
would have been worse than wasted

said the trouble is all in the West ,rn
branches. Here the firm was making
money, bnt out there they had been pay

great. Several months ago Howell, as
president of the company, was indicted
by the federal grand jury for violation of
the Interstate law, the company
being charged with bribing the weigh
masters of various railroads. Many ru-
mors gained publicity at the time. one be
log to the effect that the railroads had
forced the company to pay large sumf In
damages. Howell today admitted that

SAN FRANCISCO, July I5.-The Err
antiaer has a lengthy communication nom
its correspondent at Saltcn, who made a
trip by boat over the flooded district. Six
miles from Hanlon's the party lett the
Colorado river and turned northwest into
a wide slough. After proceeding twenty
five miles they ran into a lagoon of the
Colorado river, and this was the first place
where they saw water leaving the river on
its way to the desert. 1t seemed to be
breaking out in many places, and the cor
respondent expresses the opinion that the
river will probably eventually change its
channel and throw a great volume of water
into the desert. Further down another
stream came in from the lake and a few
miles further on still another. There is
4 great volume which must apparently
come in from the various lakes along the
route, and the correspondent believes the
channel is permanently cut n that the
desert will always contain water except in
the lowest stages Of the Colorado river.

ATcHIsoN, Kas., July ia young
woman, giving her name as Mrs. Moore
Hughes, applied to the police for assist
ance and protection last night. She ar
rived on the Santa Fe train from Topeka,
and was a wretched looking object. Her
dress consisted of rags held together with
pins; her shoes were out at the soles, and
a handkerchief was bound about her
head. Her lace was swollen with tears
and wounds. She SAID she had walked
thirty-two miles, to escape from her hus-
band. At Nortonville money was raised
to buy her a ticket to Atchison. She met
her husband at her fathers house in
Madison county, Ark, two months ago.
He il an ex union soldier, aud was
travelling with a panorama. He is 60
years old and she is IS. They were mar
ned a week alter she first saw him. She
innocently says it was a case of love at
first sight" They travelled from place to
place, and he soon grew jealous of her.
She says his jealousy was without cause.
He began to mistreat her, n soon he
subjected her to inhuman punishment.
When he left her side he would tie her
to the bed IN the hotel and gag
her with corn cobs. Once he slipped
a moose around he neck and
literally hanged her until she was
nearly dead. Once he attacked her with
a razor, nearly cutting her hand off. Last
week they reached Topeka, where he
rented a house and commenced house
keeping. He Immediately resumed his
tortures. He said he proposed to kill
her. He forced her to drink red precipitate,
compelling her to swallow water to carry
it to her stomach. He also rubbed the
stuff on her face. and the skin is nearly
raw as a result. Friday morning he com-
handed her to get breakfast, saying he
would kill her afterwards. He lett the
house for a moment and She escaped,
to Atchisou. 1t took her three days to
walk to Nortonville. She slept in wheat
shocks. She says Moore draws a pension
of S25 a month. The authorities of Hunts
vile, Ark. have been requested to inform

SAN FRANCIsCo. July l5.-Thc Err
dnriRer this morning announces the dis,
covery of enormous caverns in Josephine
county, Oregon, twelve miles north of the
California line and about forty miles from
the coast. An exploring party which Wis.
tied the caverns reached them by way of
Grants Pass, Ore, on the line of the
Oregon and California branch OF the
Southern Pacific. From there the party
travelled thirty miles by stage IL KerbY,
and then proceeded into the mountains
with pack trains and horses. Two open
lngs in the ave were discovered. These
openings look like small assures in a great
limestone bluff. This limestone extends
for miles and appears massive and solid
outside but IS honeycOmbed within with
cracks and ~revases which extend for
miles without any apparent order or svs-
TEN: Many OF the passages within the
caYe are described as of great
beauty. containing IN them semi
transparent stalactities. giant milk
white pillars, pools and streams of
pure clear water. A creek flows from the
main opening to the cave. and 1t was
here hat the party entered. They spent
a week in exploring the cave and found
innumerable passages and chambers, and
several miles from the entrance they dis
covered a small lake of clear water and a
waterfall thirty feet in height. All kinds
Of grotesque figures were found in the
various chambers. Large numbers Of
fashlight photographs were taken. The
only sign of any animal life was found a
short distance from the entrance, where n
few bones indicated that bears had used it
for a lair and carried their prey there.
1t was estimated that the main body of
the cave was was ! 500 feet from the sur
face of the mountain. and the cavern
itself appeared to be fully as large as the
Mammoth cave in Kentucky.
