Astor. The fabric in her case also was
pale creamy yellow, checked with bold lines
of pink and helotr0pe. Full-blown cream
colored roses furnished the decoration,
twisted about the bodice and caught with
jeweled clasps against the lace f1ounce at the
bottom For it is a feature Of the new
scheme in covering fr0cks with flowers that
a different blossom may be used, If desired,
every time the dress is assumed. The
leafy sprays are not in any way attached to
the fabric. but are pinned with jewels in
varying combination and with different
arrangements for different occasions.

Newport and with few to take her out.
but decidedly the freshest looking and
most innOcentlv charming OF any girl
on the floor. The creamy ground Of her
frock had been most exqusitely em-
broidered in faint colorings. Pale yellow
pansies were set about the hem of it in a
border, stitched i'll delicate tracery. The
skirt was full and hung in straight lines.
The empire waist was modestly high, and
either the girl or her mother had common
sense enough not TO spoil her maiden fair
ness with trinkets, for beyond yellow sash
at her waist she wore no ornaments OF any
description.

ut Is the intention OF the Army Medical
Museum to be represented at the Columbian
Exposition" Surgeon j. S. Billings, Curator
of that institution, has expressed his ideas
OF such an exhibit. A building attractive
on the outside aud comfortable within,
where beds such as are used in hospital
wards and some of the choicest specimens
from the museum in Washington will be
displayed. Such building will be about
forty-ive feet long, twenty-five feet wide
and fourteen feet high. Hospital tents will
be on the outside of the building such as
are carried in Indian campaigns or field
operations OF any kind. A surgeon will be
in attendance with all necessary surgical
and medical appliances.
A movement has been inaugurated in
Kansas City, y :, for the organization of
novel military company, intended to be
one Of the features of the Columbian Expo
sltion. The company is to be called Com
pany A, First Regiment United Blue and
Gray. 1t is to be composed Of fifty ex-
Union and fifty ex-Confederate veterans,
the former to be uniformed in blue and the
latter in gray. The company is now nearly
full and officers have been elected.
Aluminium, the great metal of the future,
IS to be well displayed at the exposition. A
Pittsburg reduction company wants to make
an exhibit of the process of manufacturing
this metal. The company has applied for
space for this purpose and the request will
be granted
On July 1st the first modelling at Jackson
Park was begun for the decoration of the
Worlds Fair buildings. The model made
was that OF big garland, which will be
placed high zip on one OF the towers of the
Electricity Building. There will be in all
100000 square feet of staff ornamentation on
the Electricity Building, and it was the
modelling for this that was started. The
company which has the contract for this
and three other buildings, started twelve
men on the work. six of whom were expert
modelers. The force will, later on, DO in
creased to fifty. A temporary building,
50X75 feet, has been constructed for mod
eling-room. Contiguous to it will be
castlng-rOOm 140x50 feet.
Stakes were driven on July I'd for the first
lair building at Jackson Park. The build
ing thus begun Is intended for the mines

bic that it will be the first structure COM

THE CARS SLEUTH HOUND.
Moscow Merchant Who Ferreted Out
NihiIist Plots,

Nihilist Plots.
Michael LEM was, few years ago, one of
the most famous of the Russian political de-
tectives. lie was merchant in Moscow in
1877, and was engaged as a special consta-
BILE when the Emperor Alexander visited that
city to witness the opening of the Alexander
Hospital. LEM heard, or claimed to have
heard, conversation between two women
indicating the existence Of plot against
the Gar. He hurried with his information
to the Project of Police and the two women
were tracked and taken into custody.
One of them proved to be a valuable pris-
oner, although there WAS nothing of dan
gerous character found in their possession
when arrested LenZ was frequently called
upon for service in tracing alleged conspira-
cies, and did his work so satisfactorily that
he was engaged as a regular employe, and
gradually promoted to be chief Of the detec-
tiyes of the secret police.
To LEM was due the detection Of Sophia
Grunsburg, the young woman put to death
few months ago for being engaged in
nihllist plot He is said to have no scruples
IN his methods, and in one case, that of
Maria Spirant, lie courted the woman full
year as lover, and at length pretended to
go through the marriage ceremony in order
TO win her confidence.

AN HISTORIC BUGLE,
One That Sounded To Arms at the Battle
of Gettysburg.

One That Sounded To Arms at the Battle
of Gettysburg.
One of the largest individual and most in
teresting collection of war relics in the
United States is owned by Captain John
Slusser of this city, consisting of over 5000
pieces, all properly labeled and cataIogued,
with complete history of each. To de-
scribe the relics singy would take several
columns Of space printed in small type.
Those acquainted with the extensiveness of
the collection wonder how one man could
get together so many relics, with history,
etc. There is one relic among the collection
which we desire to give to the readers OF
the Commercial to-day, with a brief history,
because it is of local interest and belonged
to Samuel j. Rodgers, well-known citizen
of Danville, during the war and until given
10 Captain Slusser The history of this
relic is taken from the records, and is as
follows:
The bucle has history which no other
buge in the United States possesses. It was
owned and carried by Samuel J. Rodger
Company E, Third Indiana Cavalry. during
the War Of the Rebellion, and sounded the
first call to "boots and saddles" which
brought on one of the greatest battle of the
war, that of Gettysburg. The buge was after
ward captured by Ashbv's famous rebel
cavalry at Beverly Ford. Va. while its
owner was on a raid with Kilpatrick's
cavalry, and was afterward recaptured from
a rebel prisoner at Hanover Courthouse,
Va, by Federal soldier, and having
the name of Mr.. Rodgers cut upon it,
was returned TO him aud was closely guarded
until the close of the war. While wait
ing to be mustered out at Washington,
ID. u, 1t was once more lost or stolen, and
seemingly for good. As time passed away
Comrade Rodgers gave up ever hearing or
getting possession of his Old war companion
again. During the year 1883 ne received a
package by express at Danyile. ILL.,, and to
his surprise and gladness, when opening
the bundle, there was his long-lost and
precious war bugle-sixteen years after he
had considered it gone from him forever.
And from that day 10 this he has never been
able to find out who it was who returned it
to him.
This bugle has been used n number of
times by Mr.. Rodgers at soldiers reunions.
and as soon as its history became known
was great curiosity. and was handled and
fondled by thousands of old veterans who
