She Saw Too Much.

She (after marriage)-You told me
that was your first love, but I have
found whole trunk-full of letters from
all sorts of girls, just bursting with
tenderness.

HoopsK1RTs AND oSE-BUTToN GLOVES.

HooPsKIRTs AND oSE-BUTToN GLOVES.
Hoopskirts and ore-button gloves are
imminent, says London writer. A
strong fight will be made against the in
coming Of the hoop, and as for the long
wristed mousluetaire or buttoned swed-
ish kid glove, it bids fair, spite of all
opposition, to retain its popularity
throughout this generation. The reaec-
ton that even the most subservisnt fol-
lowers of style, in obedience to the
changes and caprices of fashion, will ever
again consent to the dire and extreme
limitations Of a single-button glove, after
enjoying the comfort and luxury and
grace OF a six or eight-button, would
seem quite impossible; yet over and over
again has history repeated itself in this
very matter of short and long gloves, the
1ong-wristed glove and the gauntlet hav-
ing been favored and then discarded by
both kings and queens of centuries past.

sEELTER FOR ARIsTocRAT1c FEET.

! A fashionable equipage stopped in
front of the Academy of Art on Twenty
third street the other afternoon. A foot
man descended, carrying small shawl
of q color to match his livery. When
he opened the carriage door he held the
shawl in such position that the feet of
the lady alightiug from the e9uipage
could not be Seen. This is q new wnim
with ladies in high life. 1t originated
with celebrated heiress who has feet of
the proportions which the funny para
'grapher is prone to ascribe to the women
of Chicago. She is extremely pretty and
wears number six glove, but only her
shoemaker and her maid know the num-
Der of her shoe. Shcis painfully sensitive
concerning her pedals; her skirts are all
made to touch the floor, and so skilfully
hung that when she walks they drape
their folds in such way that not q
glimpse of boot appears.
One day she aliehted from her coupe
in front of a large mirror outside furni-
ture shop, and then and there discovered
to her horror that every time she stepped
in and out Of her carriage all her pre-
cautions for concea!ing her feet were
useless. She went home in despair, and
never put one of those unhappy feet into
her carriage again until she had thought
out the plan of the shawl. Being a
woman of wealth and a social leader, any
thing she did was sure to be copied. And
now all the footmen arc provided with
little shawls for sweet modesty's sake

ENAMELED WEDDING RINGS.

The latest thing in wedding rings will
scarcely appeal to the sentimental bride
who cherishes the peculiar distinctive
ness of the plain geld band. A titled
bride has started the new fashion of the
marriage ring being inlaid with blue
enamel, and the tide has turned from
using the plain circlet to employing the
style of ring each bride may happen to
fancy and choose. This fad has its ad-
vantages and disadvantages, for the we'd
ding band can thus rarely be distin-
guished from the ornamental circlet,
which may or may not be desirable ac-
cording to circumstances.-NeU York

A CHANGE IN MOURNING MATERIALS.

A CHANGE IN MOURNING MATERIALS.
There has been a decided change in
the materials used for women's mourn
ing within the past few years. The
,bombazines and English crepes have
given place to softer, tenderer fabrics,
Just as is true in the weavcs of colored
materials that we now USE.
b Henrietta cloth will be selected for
street wear except on rough days, when
serge or camePs hair will be preferred.
Crepe cloth and dull wool finish India
silk will be worn at home. Crinky
crepe will make ones best gown, and
plain net and Canton crepe for summer
wear. English crepe is not worn at all
except during the first six months of
mourning and by widows for two years.
These are generaIities to come down
to actual individual needs. A widow
who has the sad occasion to put On
mourning should buy two street dresses; ;
one of serge, an absolutely plain tailor
made dress; the other Of Henrietta cloth,
trimmed heavily with crepe in fiat trim
mings or wide folds, bands or panels.
Nothing is more inelegant than English
crepe cut up into little trimmings. The
plain gown she should wear on every or
binary occasion that takes her out, to
drive, to shop, to market, to her com
imittees or charitable boards, etc.; the
finer dress to church and to any friends

ENTHUSIASTIC.
Uncle Jerry Rusk Tells OF the
Presidential Trip.

WASHINGTON, May 16. - Secretary
Rusk was asked to-day if he had good
time on his recent trip. did have a
good time?" he repeated. "Well, |
should say did, and so did every body
else i'll the party, 1t was wonderful
excursion, and every day of it was filed
with pleasant happenings that must
remain fixed in our memories. The
great American public was enthus-
iastlc from start to finish, and if the
good folks on our route omitted any
courtesy, it would be more than / could
do to discover the gap. Especially graft
flying was our reception in the South.
Every greeting was hearty in the eX-
treme, and beyond question honest.
From the time we entered Tennessee
the Journey was an ovation, ana on
every side there was heard nothing but
the broadest and most patriotic senti-
ments. Texas, probably, put on more
paint than any other Southern state.
and it is no eXaggeratiOn for me
to state that the people went wild
over the appearance of the
president. Gov. Hoggett and Senator
Reagan met our train at the state line
and introduced US IN most eulogistic
manner to the many assemblages that
laid in wait to capture portion of our
Oratory. California will always be re-
membered as the land of flowers. AS
soon as we entered the state we were
bOmbarded with the most delicate bios
soms-bOuquets were fired at us by the
ton-and this continued until we got
too far north for early flowers. The
feature of the trip that impressed
me more even than the popular en-
thusiasm," continued the secretary,
twas the remarkable oratOricaI ability

month than many high grade public
men could think out and deliver in a
lifetime. And his efforts were not all
prearranged and provided for; some of
the best things he said were spOntane-

and a couple Of thousand people would
surround the train and demand
a speech. They knew from the
railroad authorities that we were
going to stop there, 50 they put up job
on the president. 10 such unexpected
audiences the presidents remarks were
extremely happy"
Did you stick closely to your sched
ule?''
Wonderfully So" replied the secre-
tary. I'VE arrived at every stopping
place punctual to the minute, and kept
it up until we got home yesterday even

TREASURE TROVE.
Reported Finding of Money
Buried Forty Years Ago.

TRUCKEE, Cal, May 16.-There is
great excitement in Truckee over the
discovery of a portion of the treasure
buried by the Donner party in 1867.
In the early days of gold excitement in
this state, the DOnner party attempted
to cross the mountains into California
by an untried pass. They were showed
up in the mountains and suffered great
bardships, many dying from cold and
starvation. Relief expeditions were sent
out and few survivors were rescued in
this way. During their sutferingS the
party buried quantity of treas
ure, the amount of which is estimated
by some at $4,000. A search has fire.
quently been made for this treasure, but
without success. There Is authentic
history of the burial of several hundred
dollars by Mrs. Graves, one of the mem
bers of tile party, on March 3, 1S47, near
the shores Of DOnner lake, and it is sup
posed it was this money which was
found thursday last by miner named
Reynolds, who was prospecting on the
hillside near the lake. He found spot
where the earth had been torn up by a
falling tree, and his attention was acci-
dentally called to some dark looking
pieces of money lying on top of the
SlOulANls LIZ pAOhOo u lNil dlClCll
looking dollars, and scratching slightly
in the earth, uncovered large quantity
of silver. He afterwards searched the
ground with a companion, and yester-
day the men succeeded in finding near
ly 300. They are still prosecuting the
search and other searching parties are
being organized here. From the pres
ent indications the hills on the north
side of Donner lake will be covered
with treasure-hunters to-day. Persons
familiar with the Incidents connected
with the Donner party feel no doubt
that the money just found is that buried
by the Donner party forty years ago.
The coins are antiquated, of all dates
prior to 1S45, and of the most obsolete
aud forgotten markings. The coins are
from France, Spain, Bolivia. Argentine
Republic and number of other foreign
countries. A very rare collection of
American pieces are included in the
treasure. As relies of the Donner party
the find is a very valuable one,

MON UMENT FOR DAVIS.
The Southern Press Association to
Raise the Means,

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 16.-At a
recent meeting of the Southern Press
association at Memphis a committee of
three was appointed to cooperate with
Gen. John B. Gordon, commander-in-
chief of the Confederate Veteran asso-
citation, in raising a fund for erecting a
monument to the memory of Jefferson
Davis. This step was taken in further
ance of scheme set on foot shortly
after Mr.. Davis death, and which was
intended to receive the cooperation OF
Southern newspapers. Some money
mas already been raised, but efforts in
this direction have been deSultory and
lacking in system. The committee have
therefore thought it best that some ac-
ton should be taken to this end that
general and simultaneous moYem
may be inaugurated. 1t has therefore
prepared the following address:
To the People of the South: 1t has been

heritage and inspiring example forever.

1t forever. But there is no sentiment OF
honor or of patriotism. which requires US to

tWlned with. and whose blood was shed for
It. The Southern people VIII have become

and Womanhood, when they forget him who
for their sake wore the shackles upon his
wasted limbs. We owe it 20 ourselves and to
our children to build monument to
MS memory. We therefore appeal to
the people of the South, confident
of the nature of their response. We have ap-
pointed the 18th day of June. 1891. as a day
upon which the people of every town and
county IN the Southern states should meet
ana take the proper steps to forward the en-
terprise OF voluntary contributions or other
methods which they may deem best. Let
