ers. Hooks are fastened to the skirt
and these catch into the trousers at in
tervals of three or four inches, keeping
the skirt perfectly in place on the
windiest day.
While such a dress as this seems most
shocking because of the exposure which
seems necessarily to follow, it is really
less conspicuous in exposing the figure
than the ordinary tailor-made riding
habit. The latter shows exactly the
size and shape Of the legs, as well az
their general position. The former con-
ceals them by the full skirt which hangs
over them.
Riding thus a woman is reasonably
safe upon a horse and is much less liza
BILE to cramp than when seated sideways
upon a side saddle. Yet the side saddle
has conventionality in It's favor, and the
new method of riding has not. The pretty
Spaniard says that she is unable to hire
a horse at any of the riding academies
for jaunt in the park when thus ar
rayed, because the riding masters fear
that some of the patrons might take ex-
ception to such n dress, and might OBJ
ject to being seen emerging from an
! academy that permitted its pupils to
dress In this manner. Scarcely can a
riding master be found as a companion.
In the meantime, the dress is so be-
coming that the pretty woman wears it
and is much admired. AT the same time
she feels comfortable and safe, declar-
ing that never before has she so en-
| joyed equestrianism. Several women
of fashion have expressed willingness
| to dress in the same manner, if only
some one could be found to take the
lead. No one likes to venture forth
alone, and no one has been able to Sc
cure sufficient cooperation to get n num-
Der of women together for trial trip.
The same disadvantage attends this de-
parture in fashion that has marked
other decided changes, namely, the
conspicuousness which renders 1t I'M
pleasant for those who would other
wise be the pioneers.
Quite change is taking place In the
method of dressing at house weddings.
AS every one knows it has been the prop
er caper to wear ones very best at we'd
ding festivities and even to purchase
a new gown especially for the occasion.
Nothing worn or old or even the first
newness off was considered good enough
to grace SO happy an occasion. But
this spring those who have gone
much into society have rejoiced
that a new fad has arisen which per-

and its soft, pretty effect is becoming
to the face.
Just one more dress? It was worn by
has bleu. a literary woman who is so
plain in dress that she seldom permits
herself the luxury Of wearing anything
more elaborate than the round waist
and Puritan skirt of year ago.
The dress was gray belize, with q
full bodice. There was Swiss belt
with steel,>embroidery and more of
the steel embroidery trimmed the
cuffs and went across the front of the
narrow skirt in broad band. Scroll
edging in steel was used sparingly upon
the waist. A high collar was of red
velvet, and there was also a plastron of
the same material. With this gown
went a hat with gray rustic straw,
caught up fancifully at one side. where
a great :unch of red and gray ostrich
tips held it in place.

deed, are nearly as popular as they
were two seasons ago. Deep red gowns
with studs of jet graduating in size
toward the waist are fashionable.
An entirely new style of dress has q
low cut bodice, with the neck filed in
with lace. tucked yoke Is also seen
with these low cut bodices, and for din
ner wear a thin lace yoke, drawn high
above the neck with n narrow ribbon, Is
seen. A saving is effected in dresses by
means of these low neck bodices. For
the street the neck may be filled in with
yoke of colored cloth, supposing that
the material is black, and for evening
the yoke may be trimmed with jet.
Black bengaline makes up into unusual
ly beautiful dresses, when combined
with jet and supplied with jeweled
front.
The passion for feather trimming ha
lasted over into late spring. Far ex-
ceeding the season when such orna-
mentation has been considered suitable.
1t is still seen as In edging to the Dor
der of the high medici collars, and fin
ishing the cuffs and lapels of the Louis
Quatorze coats.
A pretty dress, ecru in tint, and la
dies cloth in material, came down in
the Broadway cars yesterday. The skirt
was scanty, drawn back so tightly that
the wearer seemed scarcely able to
walk in it, and yet when she did take a
step the dress seemed to yield and pro-
duced an effect as graceful as is ever
seen in the new umbrella case styles
The waist of the gown was buttoned-
actually buttoned with visible buttons
all the way down the front. The but
tons were of gilt trimmed with silver.
On each side of the button a broad
lapel of navy blue velvet was turned
back until the outside point of the lap
ell almost touched the high puff sleeves.
The collar was standing one, at least
two inches in height, and broad collar
like lapel stood up around the neck and
turned back in front in two large
points. This lapel or collar was also of
navy blue velvet. AS a wrap against
the GOODNESS of the late afternoon the
wearer carried over her arm an ecru
cape which, when donned, would be
tight fitting in the back and thiclxly
braided with a cord of deep brown,
Full puff sleeves, bell shaped at the
hand, and a loose front bordered with
feather trimming completed the trim
ming of this pretty garment.
On the newest gown, chiffon, thickly
gathered or shirred in several rows, is
put about the neck Of gowns and down
the front, being used exactly as the
feather trimming has been. The chit
fon is exceedingly easy material to han
die, being light, soft, silky, yet suffi-
GENTLY firm in texture to hold its own
when placed in standing rows of gath
ers or shirrings. It comes in all colors,

If the press reports from Ell Paso,
Tex, tell a "plain, unvarni he'd tale"
there is urgent need of new post
master in that far away city on the Rio
Grande, where President Harrison was
recently received with pleasant inter
national welcome. The present post
master there rejoices in the name of
Smith. Unless he is grossly slandered
in the aforesaid reports, he must be q
mailman or a fool, and in either capac-
ity he is unfit to administer the mail
business of the United States at any
postoffice within their limits. The dis
patches from Ell Paso say that Post
master Smith seized the whole mail
edition of an Ell Paso paper the other
day because it contained a synopsis of
the Louisiana supreme courts decision
respecting the New Orleans lottery. If
this is true, Postmaster Smith is a good
subject for prosecution in the federal
courts for unlawful interference with
the United States mails. The statute
against the transmission of lottery ad-
vertisements does not confer upon post
masters the right to act as censors upon
the news columns. Some vigilant pre-
cautions are necessary to prevent the
mails from being abused for immoral or
exercise of authority can be tolerated on
the part of officials charged with exc
cutting the laws for protecting the mails

AN ATRocIoUS CRIME.


Swift Vengeance on Two Murderers in o
Mountain Town.
LOUISVILLE, May 2S.-One of the most
fiendish crimes ever known in Kentucky
is reported from Sandy Hook, the county
seat of Elliott county.
A young school teacher, Miss Maude
Fleenor, was thrown from a horse,
frightened by two Wilcox brothers, each
of whom the girl had refused to marry.
With a leg and an arm broken she
was chained in a deserted cabin, where
she was kept prisoner since the middle
of April, and, slowly dying, was made
the victim of her captors' lust.
The brothers of the missing girl finally
headed posse and search was begun.
Last Thursday in crossing a deep and
heavily wooded ravine an old and ap-
parently deserted cabin was passed.
While waiting for laggers, several MEM
bers of the party heard groan in the
cabin. Thinking the noise came from a
stray hog, they paid no attention to it.
AS the party was moving from the
cabin a second and louder groan was
heard. Upon examining the interior of
the log structure a horrible sight met the
gaze of the searchers. There, stretched
upon a rudely constructed bunk, lay the
poor emaciated form of the once lively
Maude Fleenor. The couch upon which
SIG lay was CONCLCo WIFI u SuIdAA NuuACAOJ
of dirty straw and full of vermin.
When the rescuing party entered the
cabin the poor girl opened her eyes,
recognized her betrothed, and said in a
voice scarcely audible, "Amos, the Wilcox
boys did it." They were the last words
she ever spoke. In fifteen minutes she
was dead. From a buxom lass of 1876
pounds, she had dwindled to a mere
skeleton, weighing scarcely seventy-five
pounds
Her sufferings, both mental and physi-
cal, must have been fearful. AS soon as
the body was placed in the care of friends
the posse started out to hunt for and cap
ture the Wilcox boys. Both were found
without trouble, and at first firmly denied
their guilt, but upon being brought face
to face with their victim, both wilted and
made full confessions.
Both men seemed very anxious and I'M
easy during the writing of the confession,
and corroborated each other in every de-
tail, with one or two exceptions. After
making the confession each one asked the
question: "What are you going to do
with us P'' The answer came quick in
the form of Winchester bullet for each
The girls death had been avenged by her
brother and intended husband.

VERMONT is going to have trouble in
collecting her share of the direct refund
tax allotment, as the United States
government makes an old claim which
exceeds the $3.50, 900 which Vermont en-
pected to receive by several hundred
thousands. 1t appears that the indebt-
edness of Vermont to the general gov
eminent was incurred on account of
arms to its militia at the time of the
Fenian raid at st Adams. This indebt-
edness has never been made good to the
treasury department. 1t is believed the
state government will push the claim
that Vermont is no more under obliga-
ton than any other state to protect the
frontier of the United States and avert
the danger of international difficulty.

Mr. WANAMAKER is fathering a
scheme that for pure unadulterated
"galr surpasses anything in the history
of the republican party, and that's say
ing good deal. He wants to make ten
year contracts with favorites for carry
ing the ocean mails in various directions
under the mail subsidy act of the last
congress. OF course that involves the
ultimate expenditure of many millions
of dollars, while the appropriation
made, which was only for one year. was
S2,500,000. Mr. Harrison approves of
the scheme, and in order to give it bet
ter aspect the question has been referred
to the attorney general for an opinion as
to whether the postmaster general has n
legal right to make contracts to run ten
years. OF course he will decide that he
has, and then the country will have the
pleasure of seeing forty or fifty millions
of its money placed where it will help
to re-nominate and re-elect Benjamin
Harrison. Whatever other people may
think Mr. Harrison doesn't think that he
made mistake in putting John Wanna
maker at the head of the postoffice.
