The Latest Petticoat.

The latest petticoat is straight from
Paris and is untrimmcd. 1t is simply
wGll-shapcd skirt that look: Us if it
were made OF leopard skin, but it is in
reality brocadcd silk representing the
skin Of the wild beast. 1t is pleasantly
warm to wear and has a barbaric look
delightful to tho smart girl who likes
to imagine that she can have sweet
heart brave enough to go out and kill
wild animals, the skins of which she
may use to keep her pretty self warm.
Women to-day arc just as fond Of think
ing that men are brave AID capable OF
manly sports as they used to he sure of

An Indian Romance.

Northumberland is another smart
and exceedingly dangerous Sioux war
rlor. Ills daughter had romance,
says the Denver Republican, that makes
i rather interesting story. She fell in
love with a Lieutenant in the army once,
when the Lieutenant visited the Sioux
reservation. Later he was transferred
10 Fort Laramie. Not long after that Il
band of Sioux obtained d hunting pass
md rOamcd over into Wyoming. The
Indian maiden persisted in accompany
ing them. She s;Iw the Lieutenant. and
upon learning that he was married she
fell upon the ground moaning and tear
ing her black trcsscS. The young squaw
rcfuscd to return with the Indians, and
thcy continued to camp in the vicinity
for several weeks. One day the Indian
girl ended her unhappy life by cutting
her Throat with Il hunting-llnife. She
was buried with the usual ceremonies
of Indian obscquics.
Tic Ing li;cment Ring.
The girl with a ring On her first
finger is not to be found any more. The
engagement ring is worn on either tie
middle or fouHh finger, but never on
the first, says Tho Jewellers Review. At
n recent wedding in New York the bride
removed her right glove and the ring
vas placed on her right hand, instead
ni the left. The reason for this change
Is not known. The fourth finger Of the
eft hand has been known as the finger
for the wedding ring from the earliest
timc-it being supposed that the veins
from this finger went straight to the
heart. Perhaps the young ladies' hearts
are changing nowadays. The winter
girl is marked by two characteristics
she has her hair frizzled all over her
head, and She wears Il ring on her little
dngcr.

Promptness and freedom that made
the gift doubly welcome. They
were great fellows to hunt foxes,
and chose clear, moonlight nights
for the choicest of the sport. He had
gone with them on good many other
chases, but had never yet followed the
hounds after night, and expressed a
wish to do SO. The family at which he
had been stopping had a good horse
that had given him an excellent mount
on the daylight runs, bnt it was SO
spirited he did not care to.fide it on n
night chase. So a nciahbor offered to
exchange with him, giving a mule in
stead. All the young men inthe coun-
try told hiaat the mule was . famous
huRter, and that it would follow the
hounds Through fire and water. AMI
a4lshe had to do was to hang on. But
on The evening Of the meet, when they
gathered at the edge of the wood. he

WHAT THEY THINK

The Action of the Harbor Line Commits
sion Not Favoraby Received
After il had become known yesterday
that the harbOr line commissioners had
filed the map, locating harbor lines,
with the city clerk, a HERALD reporter
talked with few gentlemen who had
examined the map. They were unani-
nous in their condemnation of the
action of the commission so far as Fair
haven is concerned, Later in the
evening however, some were met who
thought that the award was a fair one
and as equitable as could be expected,
but they were in a large minority.
Following are the opinions of few
citizens:
Colonel Christopher-They might as
well have taken in the whole tOwnsite;
| consider it an outrage.
Councilman Aubrey-If they had
come up a little further, they might
have had The Fairhaven hotel as well.
/ consider it an outrage.
Councilman MOnohan-I have not
examined the map thoroughly, but it
strikes me as being extremely unfair.
Councilman Allerton-I consider the
location Of the harbOr lines a first-class
outrage.
City Attorney Howard-What do /
think Of it? l consider it legalized
larceny on the part of the state.
Councilman J. J. Donovan - The
commission have placed the inside line
too near the shore, and by so doing
have injured private enterprise. They
have taken every wharf and a great
part of the Bellingham mill, which are
now placed on property where title can
never be acquired. Deep water comes
so near the shore that no wharf can
ever be built out to the outside harbof
line, over much the larger portion OF
the harbor, and yet in their anxiety to
get strip 600 feet wide the commits
sioners have come inside the low tide
\ line for a distance of quarter of a
mile on either side of Mckenzie ave-
nue..
1t seems to me much narrower re-
serve would have protected all the in.
terests of the state, and given private
enterprise some chance as well.
Governor Black-It strikes me as
being exceedingly unfair; the state has
taken everything, and private enter
prise has received a set back
Councilman Darling-I think the 10
cation of the line works manifest in
justice to the city.
| w. H. Welbon-It strikes me hard
We Jared better, however, than they
did in California. If they serve al
alike throughout the state, whar
owners may not feel any hardship.
