OBITUARY,

The Late PhiIander c. Lessey. The news of the death of Philander c. Lessey, the well-known West Chapel street grocer, is a shock to many of his friends, as his illness was but of short du- ration. His health had been poor for @ year past. About two weeks ago he was prostrated with typhoid malarial fever, of which he died. His age was ffty-two.
 NIT. Lessey came 10 this city from Dan- bury, Conn, about thirty years ago, and hired out to D. S. Cooper, the grocer, at SIS State street, as clerk. He was a young man of good habits, industrious, obliging, and made good many friends. After be- jug with MT. Cooper few years he went into business for himself on the corner of Chapel and Day streets, where he had re- mained ever since until his death. He &C., cumulated considerable property. His wife died some twelve years ago They had no children. NIT. Lessey was kind husband, of a abenevolent disposition, and kind to the poor without ostentation. He was regular attendant of Dwight Place church. The funeral will be held from Dwight Place church chapel this afternoon at two o'clock.

The sailor shape is the shape for the

color it is apt to be silvery gray or fawn
or a pale, creamy brown. 1t is trimmed
with two large brown wings, starting
from the crown in front and spreading
rakishly at either side, and, rising be-
tween the wings in ridge that runs
straight back over the crown, is a range
of breast feathers that looks-if l may
venture with all apologies to speak
jestingly of something that has cost,
without doubt, much expenditure of
time and of the gray matter of the

in sharper ridges than others, as if
there were marked differences in the
ages and degrees of tenderness of the
birds, but the general breastbone idea
runs through good share of the early
millinery exhibit, and seems to domi-
nate the thoughts of the hat trimmers.
1t is a case of breastbone only, you
understand; there are no feet to curl
up black toes pitifully, and no heads
The people who object to dead birds for
ornaments seem really to have sue
ceeded in making the display less re-
voting, and the ridge is too high and
too straight and too steep as to it's sides,
and too regular, to be altogether real
istic, but nevertheless September sailors
are calculated to catch and to interest
the eye.

Christian Scientists.
THE WILL CONTEST CONTINUED.

After His Wife's Death.

His Wife Never Told Him of Promising to
Hold Her Property in Trust for Timothy
Hopkins, Nor that She Had Made Ger
tain Promises to Tins Mother--The
Hearing Adjourned.
SALEM, Mass, Sep. 25.-The third day
of the Hopkins-Sea will contest find
the interest in the case only intensified,
fact due very largely, without doubt, to
the personal nature of the testimony
brought out on the examination of the
testator's widower.
Mr.. Searles told under close question.
ing many details of the copartnership
contract made June 7, 1888, between
Mary +. Searles, Edward r. Searles,
Thomas E. Stillman and Thomas Hub
bard, to be known as Searles, Stillman
g. Hubbard, to contract and manage all
the property, both real and personal, be-
longing to either party.
A will of Mary F. s. Searles, dated
November %, 1887, with codicil dated
June 16, 1888, was produced at the after
noon session. Mr. Searles knew of the
will, but did not know its contents until
after his wife's death
This document gave $1,000 to j ohm
HARDWOOD, former coachman, and the
residue of the estate was let in trust to
Edward F. Searles, Timothy Hopkins
and Thomas E. Stillman, to pay the in
come in equal shares to Edward +.
Searles and Timothy Hopkins during
their Life time, and optheir death to who
soever they might designate by will or,
failing will to pay it to their next Of
kin.
The executors were the same as the
| trustees. The codicil substituted the
name of Thomas Hubbard for that of
| Timothy Hopkins as trustee and eXecu-
tor, but otherwise confirmed the will.
Witness had understood that all the
real estate, except the homesteads in
San Francisco, Great Darlington and
| Methuen, were placed in the copartner-
ship. Witness supposed the titles to the
estates conveyed by the unrecorded deeds
rested in him until something occurred
to disturb them They were placed in
his name, he said, to protect the prop
erty.
He had heard Mrs. Searles say that be-
fore her marriage she had made previous
wills, but she had never told him that
she promised her first husband to hold her
| entire property in trust for Timothy; nor
that she had promised Timothy's own
| mother that If she would consent to the
adoption he should have all her property.
Mr.. Searles then admitted that two
Christian scientists, Mrs. Morse and
Mrs. Day, had treated Mrs. Searles during
her illness. One of them had also
treated witness for Indigestion.
He thought he requested that they
should not mention being called in, as
he did not care about having it hawkeC

At the close of the hearing Mr.. Burley
called for all letters passing between
Messrs. Stillman and Hubbard and Mr..
and Mrs. Searles, and also the cash anC

New York is to have a new business
building on the Chicago model. The
Sun gives the following description OF
the structure:
1t is proposed to put up in this city
the largest business building in the
world. The site selected Is the vacant
ground on the west side of lower Broad
way opposite Bowling Green, extending
from Broadway to Greenwich street, and
between the Washington building and
the Stevens house. Charles w. Dayton
owns the property, and is trying to get
together the capital necessary to carry
the project through. The plans were
drawn for him by Architect F. P. Dink-
elberg. The building will cost about
81, 900, 900.
Tho plot Of ground upon which 1t is
proposed to put this building Is slightly
irregular IN shape. It has Broadway
frontage Of 169 feet and about the same
on Greenwich street. It's depth from
street to street is about 200 feet. The
building will consist virtually of two
structures fronting respectively on each
street and connected in the middle by q
central structure which will become the
tower above the twentieth floor. The

June. 1t did not come from the pink

flowers. took her for a young widow,
aud wondered what memories the scent
Of the tuberoses stirred, but as she
burned full to meet me confronted the
most novel and perhaps the most inter-
esting of our autumn dress peculiari-
ties. A Whit of wind turned back the
flaps of her smart little black coat, and
behold it was lined with stripes of scar
let and orange silk, and broad scarf
ribbon of scarlet and orange crossed her
black bodice from the left shoulder,
passing under the right arm. She
was like a crimson-throated blackbird

over dark pool. Her black
felt hat was of low-crowned sailor.
shape, and, showing only when you,
faced its wearer directly in front, was
knot of scarlet and orange half hid
den in black rosette, as quiet and
serious and altogether fit for sober Sep
TENDER shopping as was the demure
oval of the face until you caught the
occasional flash of the large and pc
culiarly brilliant brown eyes. If she
had gone her way wearing tuberoses 1
should have lost my faith in one WON,
ans sense Of the proprieties of things,
but she sent the dangerous, sensuous
beauties home in box and walked for
ward with one sprig of orange-colored
tassel flowers, scentless but vivid as
sunset, nodding at her buttonhole.
The milliners' campaign is more for
ward than that of the dressmakers'.
There is comparatively little in view
yet that can be classed as winter wear,
but the autumn hat is sufficiently pro-
pounced in it's characteristics to give
the streets a different look from any
they have ever worn. 1t is really
curious, if youstop to think of it, what va
riations human ingenuity will contrive

pretty though unsubstantial viands it is
the custom to serve to such occasions
laid out on Sevres china lined with
grape leaves.
One of the autumn brides appeared In
matronly dignity in slashed, trained
skirt of dark olive green silk, strewn
with punches of hydrangeas. The train
ran out in a long, narrow point, quite
unlike the shapes of past seasons. A
panel of black lace was Let in at one
side of the skirt and on either side of
the panel was row of large dark pearl
buttons. The chemisette, epaulcts,
basque and frillings were of exception
ally beautiful Chantilly, and the brooch
that fastened the lace folds on the
bosom was an enameled bunch of
shaded blue and pink hydrangea. The
bonnet was in olive felt, with loops in
lace and gold net and shot olive and
pink ribbons.

are intrinsica1ly the finest but are al
most sure to be misworn. Dark blue,
striped with dark rhododendron red, is
o favorite combination and very fairly
safe one. Auburn brown and nut brown
are seen constantly and are combined
with yellow. Jaguar brown is the
name of color, or rather of a combi-
nation of colors, about which there is
really very little brown at all. Beige,
yellow and pale brown spots are strcwn
irregularly over q &awny ground, and
the fabric is used occasionally for street
dresses, but moro often and more APP
propriately for bands of trimming.
One of the bcst-lized designs for a
bodice is seen in an illustration. 1t is
long and tight-ftting in the back, being
plated in three hollow plaits, while the
front is plain. 1t is full at the Shout
ders, buttons at the waist and opens
over lighter colorcd plastron. In the
original the color combination was
chamois and heather brown.
The long cloaks for winter seem to
be cut good deal on the model of the
princesse polonaise. The finest ones
have fur girdlcs and shoulder cnpcs,
and sometimes fur hoods and long fur
cuffs reaching to the elbows. The
cloak dresses have deep bands of fur
about the hem.

IT has been repeatedly that young
James Garfield was about to enter the
political field, and the hope was express
ed he might prove worthy successor of
his father. Young Mr. Garfield started
out with political aspirations. For the
present, they have been nipped in the
an Ohio state senatorship and is
declaring his Willingness to stand,
avowed h mself believer in John Sher-
man. Opposed to him was w. L. Lamp
son, protege of Foraker. Mr. Foraker's
pet received 1O5and Mr. Garfield 65 votes
from the convention. This illustrates
how devotedly attached Mr. Foraker is to
John Sherman. By the way, in this
country the son of his father is rarely a
success on that issue alone.
