baubes. They make the baby crow and put
them to her mouth ana kick her heels.
They make US smile at them and sew them
over our hats and capes and our dresses,
and walk where they may be seen out of
doors. The dazzle of them reminds me of
cloak | had years ago on which were sewn
what the other children used to call star
Spangled- banner buttons. This is spring
of star-spangled-banne fashions.
There is jet and jet, and still there is jet
hourly; faceted jet that catches the light
and ses it dancing. A woman was trying
OH bonnet this morning before a nlirl0-.
1t was bonnet Of smooth gold braid, or
new galloon, shaped in the likeness of a re-
gal crown. "Jewels" of jet were embroid-
cred upon it thickly. She held her mead
back at her A CLEAN of sunshine came
through a window; it struck the jewels and
they blaZed; she moved her head and the
broken lights in the mirror were dazzling.
All this was not good taste year ago, but
it is not now necessary to be quiet to be in
good form.
There are flower hats, though it is said
that later in the season the jewels will push
them hopelessly and helplesSly in the back
ground. A type of the flower fashion is a
hat of black point de gaze, flaring off the
face a little and with odd bends and turn
ings. Velvet volets are tufted here and
there over it, and long trails of violetS fall
in front and are gathered under the chin for
strings.
At one of yesterdays receptions noted
n bonnet of peachy velvet worn by tall,
peachy checked girl. | never, l think, saw
the hues of fabric match the tint of the
face so perfectly. Under the bonnet
escaped in front fluffy brown curls, and
among the curs three plump peaches
were resting. At tie back of the bonnet
were four to five more peaches with sprlgs
of leaves Fruit bOnnets are things to be
avoided with very careful avoidance, but
this peachy girl was pretty under those
downy spheres.
There are gold snakes, Jet snakes and
snakes Of silver. Snakes coil themselves to
strike, snakes glide through the underbrush
of buttercupS and valley lilies, snakes
wreath'ihemselves and bask in their sunny
situation, snakes climb for the view up
aigretteS Of lace formed of standing pieat-
ings.
Bunnets for dress occasions are made, in
one case out of three, of nothing more than
the triI lie classic band This may pe of jet,
or it may be of gold braid or il may be OF
folded ribbons. The band is tied in the
back with erect bows and through the knots
are drawn flowers. There are tilets of
pinky red ribbon that are very effective in
this way, with one great rose for garnlture.
Others IN black are at once delicate and
striking with lace aigrettes and gold and
purple or brown and gold orchids. The
large hats are even larger than common,
and often most fantastic with enormous
bows and equally large lunches of flowers.
Gray and yellow, in the smoke and flame
shades, one meets constantly. They make
most weirdly picturesque and harmonious

AN ODD REQUEST.


Habeas Corpus by a Parent to See His
Baby Daughter.
William =. GULL was before Judge San
derson yesterday with rather an odd re-
quest. He las begun habeas corpus pro-
ceedings for the possession of his infant
daughter, whose name lie does not even
know. IL has not seen his wife since May
9Th. he says, and all because of the inter-
ference of her mother, Mrs. Sehilgrau.
Judge Sanderson issued the writ prayed for
and in response the grand father OF tile in
FAINT, Charles H. Spllgman, appeared In
court and told the whole story.
1t seems that his daughter was only II
years Old when she married the petitioner,
against the wishes Of her parents. They
lived together TWO days at San Jose, where
the ceremony took place, ana then she re-
turned to her home. Again, few weeks
later, she returned to her husband and lived
with him SIX weeks. Then she went home,
or was taken home by her parents, and has
not seen her husband since.
Her father said he was willing to let his
new sOn-in-law call upon Dora, or TO let
them live together, but lie admitted that the
mother did not agree with him. The has
band claims that his wife is kept from him
against her wishes by her mother. Recently
baby was born and the proud father
wants to see the wee thing, but the stern
mother refused. And so the father sued out
a writ to have the infant brought into court.

combinations. The bridesmaids at recent
wedding were in gray silk with flame yellow
sashes and wastcoats of yellow crepe de
chine. Their hats were gray tulle with a
yellow metal edge and long ends OF yellow
metal ribbon hanging.
Gray and pink is pretty If less daring. 1t
is equally popular at weddings. One of the
faircst bridesmaids of the season wore silver
gray 10th with the coral panel and gray
Medici collar lined with coral. Her sleeves
with puff of coral were covered with gray
passementerie. Her hat with its coral vel
vet crown had band OF gray velvet and a
bunch of gray tips behind.
The cuirasS bOdces produce startling eff
fects at receptions and in theater-boxes. A
dress of the steely gray of armor worn with
a bold crimson cuiraSs was before my eyes
all that evening and sent me home to dream
troublously of wars and rumors of wars. 1t
spoke loudly of drums and martial parades
Beside 1t was a toilet that should have
proved quoting. 1t too was of gray, soft
greenish, whltsh gray, over which trailed
and splashed Sea-weeds. 1t was a frock for
the seaside piazza, with moonlight to silver
misty outlines.
Stars were not lacking, for at no great dis
lance was a dusky brown-gray frOck stud
ded by way of border with jet luminaries.
1t would be making metaphor go on all
fours to compare its "Frenchy" Louis XIV
casaque to the mantle night, and yet as
suredly it was sprinkled with points tina t
shone. Ga head of short, straight dark
hair rested capote of jet plates with a
greenish gray feather.
The Powered silks are among the pref
test things that are shown to delight the
spring. Some of them reproduce quaint old
medieval patterns. Over soft ivory satin
ground climbs silvery lattice work, and
across this stray faint-hued roses full OF
Old World grace and sentiment. This is
sixteenth century and Venetian. Flowers
are drawn small and often rather prim, as

RAISED CERTIFICATES.
They Are Again Being Circulated
in the City.

Raised silver certificates are again beng
freely circulated in this city, and several
days ago John Cadarella, Second-streeI
fruit-dealer, attempted to pass on Porter
Brothers bill that had been raised from
81 to $40. The alteration was done in such
clumsy manner that q clerk easily Ge-
tected it, and with the point of knife pried
up cipher that had been pasted alohgslue
the original figure l. Cadarella seemed
much surprised at tue discovery and de-
parted.
While making up their accounts yester-
day McDonough 81 Co., commission mer-
chants, found the same bill in their
cash-drawer. They suspected that the
bill had been received from Cada-
rella, and accused him of having
passed it. While he did not admit hay
ing "shoved the queer" he promptly
paid $40 in silver to regain possession oil IL:
but Officer John McGreevy was informed oil
the affair and arrested Cadarela on charge
of passing a forged silver certificate.
William Lee, a bright-lookiEg young fel-
low, was also arrested yesterday afternoon
by Officers Shea and Tuite and detained at
the City Prison on n charge Of petty larceny.
He is said to be connected with several
sharpers who are flooding the city with
raised silver certificates and the police have
referred his case to the Federal authorizes

boots, though many elderly riders preserve
their city form wherever they 60.
1t might at first seem that IN the severe
simplicity of wOman's riding habits there
would be little chance for the tailOr's art or
fer variety, but any woman knows better.
The best habits are iailOr-made, of course,
and most of the great dressmaking houses
keep horSes-tiery wooden ones which do
not kick-which ladies mount while their
robes are being arranged. The cost Of
proper habit is never below 500, and may
run considerably higher. The cOmm0Hest
material is bTOadcloth, the color black, bot
tie green or dark blue for winter use in the
park. 10 the summer browns and grays are
more favored, and a touch of scaret-which
you must never call scarlet. but pink, be-
cause that's EHgiish-in the vest or in the
tie. Shirt fronts, st.t1ly starched, were worn
TO some extent last year, and viii be used
even more this summer. The hat III the
park IS the derby, slightly femlniZed, II the
term is admissible, by the addition of soft
ribbon bow Of the same color on the left
side. There Is said to be tendency toward
more flashy and daring color combinations
in riding habits, but the wise Will Stll avoid
them.
From time immemorial physicians have
recommended riding for women and other
physicians have dep0red the one-sIded de-
YeOpmeut of the body that comes of much
use Of the side-Saddle. Mabel JenneSS,
clever teacher of physical culture, created
something of q sensation some time ago by
promising TO ride through Central Park,
New York, en- cavalier with divided skirts,
one division on the left side Of the horse and
the other division on the right side, but she
never did it. Kate Field, who has pluck
enough for anything, privately expressed an
interest in the same undertaking, but her
interest never led to actien. it would be
difficult to try the experiment. A prom
inent riding master says that he wouldn't
let woman 20 out of his stable mounted
astridP, and most riding teachers would not
be less particular. It's hard to see why the
proposition is essentially Objectionable when
made in the name Of health, but the masters
wont have il, society wont have il, and
there's no more use in talking about it than
in discussing lunar railway. It's too ad-
Yaneed for the times.
Some relief for women who wish to ride
without getting as one-sided as a spell

BILE side-saddle. This recent invention is

THE WEEK
BEFORE EASTER.
The Spring Fashions Open Blossoms
Bright and Fair.
What One May See as One Goes Up and Down
and Observes Millinery-Jet Stars, Coil
ing Snakes and Fresh Costumes.

Wonderfully interesting is the city in these
days. The shops are in full spring bios
som, and the luxuriance and the brilliance
OF the Towering increases from morning I'M
til afternoon and from evening unto morn
ing. Here is a milliner who has made of her
show-window boudOir all hung with peach
bloom silk right daintily. Here is another
who has turned hers into garden, where
buds of bonnets expand into full-blown
hats on the branches of lilac aud acacia
trees. The panorama shifts from minute to
minute; fr0ck succeeds to frock and ribbon
to ribbon almost before the eyer-movng
thrOng of promenaders has had fair view.
The parasol whose flmy clouds of gauze
caught your fancy in the morning has had
dozen successors, each more diaphanous
than the last before you pass second time
on your homeward way in the afternoon.
This thronging Of pictures, this tire aiding
Of fashion on fashions heels brings out the
whole cityful of women. From the quiet
uptown streets and the Gemure side streets
they flock and they swarm into avenues. 1t
is gay spring carnival when day by day
women give themselves over to the shops
and feed their fancieS fat on form and color

lions.

tation of London fashions. The habit of
wearing Prince Albert coat, so common in
Rotten Row, has never caught on on this
side of the water, nor do equestriennes
sport mannish high silk hats here as there.
Men riders who wish to be correct wear in
the park cutaway coats-a frOck is admissi-
ble-tall silk hats, white ties, dark gloves
and long trousers, not commonly black.
The trousers are made longer than for walk
ing purposes, and are often furnished with
a black strap extending in a loop under the
shoes to hold them down. Boots are never
worn except in deep mud. The one mark
which hopelessly gives away the greenhorn
is his proud assumption of a pair of huge
top-boots reaching TO his knees. Old hands
in town leave that sort of display to the
riding-masters, whose one distinguishing
badge is the boot.

Brutal Assault on L. III. Turner
by FOOtpads.

Garroters are again operating in the city
and belated pedestrians are occasionally
being robbed. Their latest victim is Frank
a. Turner foreman for Arpad Haraszthy
& Co., who visited the Tivoli ON Thursday
night and after the performance started for
his home, at 1011 Post street.
He walked SLOWLY out Eddy street, with
his hands in his pockets, but as he turned
the corner of Larkin street two muscular
footpads sprang upon him. Each held him
firmly by the wrists with one hand and be-
gan to rifle his packets. Turner struggled
furiously and one of the robbers shouted:
" Let him have it.
The other then began to beat him over
the head and face with pair of "knuckle
busters"
Although the blood flowed down his face
and half blinded him Turner fought so ga
lantly that the footpads finally retreated.
After reaching home Turner summoned

mans nose had been broken. his lower jaw

fixed, screw into the saddle on either side.
The screw holes are closed, when not in use,
BY plugs covered with leather like the sad
ole. To transfer the pommels, girth and
stlrrups from one side to the other is the
work OF about two minutes. A riding acad-
emy-keeper says it seems decidedly awk-
ward TO woman on first mounting with the
left knee forward and the right loot in the

tom of the owner Of such a saddle is to
change sides every day. Comparatively few
women are using these saddles ye:, but
their use stands good deal better chance of
becoming general than does the Mabel Jen-
ness plan.
Obviously, riding is an amusement for the
rich. The habit may cost from S10O up. and

wise to try to get horse for much less than
$500, and, Of course, 1t is easy to pay more.
The cost is IN the long run greater if you
hire. To board horse costs about as much
as to board man. If you belong to a riding
club there are incidental expenses A thou

after; a little more Tor woman and little

A CORPORATION SUED.
Stockholders Desire Enjoined the Sale of
Delinnuent Shares.


". r. Straut, w. G. Rob rts and A.
Everett Ball have sued the Idlewild Gold
Mining Company and its Directors, W. S.
and E. w. CHAPMAN. Edward T. Stone and
II. A. Brown, to procure an injunction of
the sale of certain alleged delinquent shares
of its capital stock and for the appointment
of a receiver to take charge ana possession
of the mining property. Judge Wallace
granted the temporary restraining order.
On October 8, 1889, the plaintiff, Straut.
and one Chester, of whom Ball is the execu-
tor, and also the defendants Chapman en-
tered into an agreement by which the latter
purchased $4,000 shares of the capital stock
of the company for S55,O00 and covenanted
to construct certain mills and buildings on
the mining property, rendering true ac-
count of the expenses incurred. OF these
expenses Straut and Chester were to con-
tribute half. deducting the amount from the
purchase price of the said $4,000 shares.
The work was begun, but the stipulation
that it should be completed in ninety days
has been jisregarded, and the defendants
Chapman have neglected to account for
their expenditures. Subsequently, at their
instance, an assessment was levied on the
stock of the company, the Board OF Direct
ors, in making said assessment, not taking
into consideration the Indebtedness OF the
Chapmans, and hence the suit.
