Survival of Dress .Reform--she is Going
to be the Belle This Season.
St Louis Republican.
The low-necked girl is striking fea-
ture of this summer, as she was of last.
She Is present everywhere, and every
where she is pleasant to look upon. We
believe that she is more or less due 10
the Jenness-Miller "dress REFORM"
which recently went into bankruptcy
pccuniarily. She survives il at any rate
and there is classic suggestion in the
way her skirts drape around her from
waist to foot-a sort of clingness-as In
the drapery of the huntress Diana.
THE DISTINGUISHING FEATURE.
But this is not the distinguishing feat
ure OF the low-necked girl. That feature
is her neck. 1t only shows from the
nape upward behind, and from the COL
lar-bone upward in front, but IL shows
most strikingly. 1t is very white from
the bleaching it got in the winter, and il
is at first SO surprising as to be almost
startling. When the winter is over and
all the high collars and fans are laid
aside the streets are filled with girls
with necks which seem to be almost il
not quite half foot long, and that
where no neck whatever was visible
before.
COMPELLING SIGHT.
1t is very compelling sight, consid-
cred merely as nature; and IL is rendered
still more striking by art, for around
most of these necks is little gold chain,
and on most of these chains there is
little locket cunningly adapted and
poised to rest in the hollow of the throat
IA sort of refrain for the harmony Of
the neck.
The low-necked girl, seen near or far,
is a thing of beauty who ought to be
joy forever. Old Burton saw something
of her in his day, and in his atrabilious
way he has put on record the opinion
that she is an artful mink, setting fly
traps to catch meddlers. But Burton
lived and died melancholy bachelor
knowing great deal more about Greek
than about girls.
PROPER GIRL.
The low-necked girl is entirely proper
and in an entirely proper way she is
going straight forward to the proper
end of her existence. She is going to
capture husband one of these days
and reduce him to a condition of at least
semi-respectability. But at present she
is hardly aware of this. She is low.
necked because all other girls are and
all other girls are because their nccks

is reason enough for any sensible per-

Awful Decd--Tho Head of tho Family
Suspected.
FLORA, ILL.,, July 21.-The entire
James family, consisting of four grown
persons ana an infant, were burned to
death, or first murdered and their
bodies then burned, within two miles
of this city Sunday night. The house
was an ordinary log structure. The
family consisted of Henry James, aged
43 years; one SON, Daniel james, aged
IL years, and one married daughter,
Minnie CLANCY, aged 20 years, and her
months-old babe.
The discovery of the tragedy was
made. yesterday by some one who hap
pened to be passing the place. In the
north bed room of the shed was discov-
cred the charred remains Of the babe,
with its little head burned almost en-
t.rely off and only the crumbling white
ashes of bones to tell where the little
arms and feet had been attached to the
body.
With one stride to the left the cooked
body of the infants mother came into
view, and two steps further to the left
two charrcd bodies, supposed TO be those
of the father and mother, appeared.
There were positively no features left
of these for identification only the
CHASTITY outlines of two forms left by
the incinerated bones. BY one was
found ring of keys with tab marked
Mrs. James. Near the other an empty
revolver and three pieces of silver
money. Near the middle of the recep-
ton room were the unrecognized re-
mains of another body supposed to be
that of the son.
The authorities were notified and the
coroner impanelled a jury. A post NOR
TEN examination developed the fact that
the young mother had been shot and
that the babes skull had been crushed in.
The author of and the motive for the
crime arc unknown. The marriage of
the daughter, some two years age, caused
trouble in the family what is said to
have increased. Mr.. and Mrs. James
finally slept apart Two or three months
ago the daughter left her husband and
returned to her parents.
The father and son often quarreled
and the elder, James. made frequent
threats to kill himself, and some times
the son also; and rumor has it that the
entire family at times were included in
the threat. The neighbors have consid-
cred him as laboring under an aberra-
ton Of mind for the last two or three
years.

SAN DIEGO, Call, July 16.-The FIVE
sailors from the cruiser Charleston, who
were injured in Tuesdays riot, are i'm

Prisoners Break for Llbertv.

DEApwoop, S. D., July 1S.-A gem
eral Jail break was made to-day from
the jail in this place, five prisoners es-
Gaping, all charged with felony. The
escape was effected by breaking through
the brick wall of the Jail, but how the
prisoners reached this wall to do their
work and how they got out of the steel
cages and cells in which they were con-
fined remains mystery. None of the
escaped prisoners have been captured,
although the country is being secured
in every direction by men on horseback.

of the Third National Bank. Seven checks,
representing 5000, 72i.37 were checks drawn
to cash or to John Bardsley or bearer
and do not bear an Endorsement of any
kind, but appear to have been paid by
the bank upon which they were drawn
either in cash over the counter or by ex-
changing their own due bills for these
checks.
"While it is possible that the tracing of
the checks representing the large sum of

analysis of the facts would satisfactorily
