Los eiereicios de sport estan muy de
moda aqui, desde que la juventud emi-
granite de 1858 volvi6 las costas de

re, dia por dia, aptitudes para el struggle

cia del derecho.

cold The skirt is not bell-shaped, but made
as skirts used to be-rather plain, except for
the fullness at the back. and dragging a
little. The bodice is made loose on the lin
ing, the fullness being drawn down in
pointed lines front and back, and held in
place by q bodice of narrow grey ribbon.
The ribbon passes around from back to
front; then the ends cross in front, drawing
the ribbon close all around at the waist line,
and are carried back again meeting just be-
low the center of the back and there tied n
pretty bow, the loops OF which go upward,
while the long ends float down as long as
the skirt. Around the armhole lace is
sewed to give almost a cape effect The
edge of the bodice shows in Q soft puff just
below the ribbon bodice 1t is almost as If
the bodice were cut blouse shape, and then
drawn in by the belt. This same effect is
prettily carried out in the sleeves. A big
puff forms the upper sleeve to the elbow.
Then just at the elbow a band of grey rib
bon is tied and the puff is drawn down a
little and the edge shows below the ribbon.
The rest os the sleeve is plain.
This dress suits slender or angular
figure. 1t supplies all needed softness and
grace of outline. A fresh, bright skin and
chestnutty sunny bair are we'll suited by the
shade of grey represented, or a really golden
blonde with fair and pink skin will '1ook q

know how to adapt the fabric to their indiv-
idual requirements. FLoRErTE.

A Tramp Throws Crude Petroleum Over

BRADFORD, Nov. 13.-[Special John Leg
gett, a A-year-old boy, died at his mothers
home in the Fifth ward tonight from burns
that cover him from head to foot. This
evening at o'clock tramp sought shelter
in an old shed which party of boys used as
a playhouse. The tramp was drunk and
sang riDald songs. The boys tried to get
the tramp to leave the place, but he refused
to CO. Young Leggett entered to expostu-
late with the fellow for dumping tho boys
claim" He had kindled u fire in an old
stove in the shanty, and among the "truck'
in the place was a bucket partly full of
crude petroleum. The Leggett boy was
standing close to the open fire, when the
tramp deliberately seized the bucket of oil
and dashed it over the boy in such a way
that what did not strike him went into the
fire.
OF course the flames followed the torrent
of oil, leaping from the fire in the stove to
the little fellows saturated clothing, and in
q breath he was ablaZe from crown to toe.
The lad screamed for help, and a railroad
employe passing the place rushed to his re-
lief. In spite OF gallant fight to save him
the fire was smothered. Delirious and raw
ing wildly with pain. the little chap was
carried to his mother and died two hours
later The tramp was caught near the
roundhouse OF the Pittsburg, Rochester and
Buffalo Railroad, and a crowd OF angry men
were hurryfng preparations to lynch him

Great Stories Told About the Wealth of
the Golden Treasures There.
LONDON, Nov. 13-The British Consul
at Quito is responsible for story about the
mineral wealth of Ecuador, which promises
to develop second California gold craze.
He has sent to the Royal School of Mines
here specimen of the gold dust from the
Napo country, with an account of its origin.
He writes that it is a specimen taken from
a quantity sent to Quito in payment for
stores by an American who has lived q
hermit's life many years in the wilderness.
The Consul adds that gold abounds in
region inhabitated by Indians who bring it
to Quito on certain days in the year. when
they purchase corn of the Government.
They grind up nuggets to dust and throw
the surplus into the river, to avoid exciting
suspicion and pressure to reveal the source
of the wealth. The Consul further SAYS
that all necessary is the construction of a
road from Quito to the Napo district, when
sit is possible that the dreams of past ages
may yet be realized, and Eldorado may at
length be found"

In setting out to give feminine readers of
THE DISPATCH a daily illustrated lesson
in dress, permit me to say that some of the
novelties of adornment are beyond e1plana-
tion. For example, what is it that gives
the remarkable value to bow fastened

has a womanly, home-like, loveable look
that no other one accessory gives. This

TAUNTON, MASS, Noy 13.-The Lizzie
Borden case will be taken up by the grand
jury Monday. Mr.. McHenry, the Provi-

Marshal Hilliard, of FaN River, says. re-
ferring to the Trickey -McHenry imbroglio,
that the whole matter had not been made
public yet, nor would it be until after the
trial, if there is trial.
He gave his listener to understand that
what was to come would when made public
make the biggest sensation of the day.
A dispatch from Taunton, Mass. says:
Miss Borden appears to be suffering no in
convenience and shows no great anxiety
respecting the coming grand jury hearing
She is outwardly the same cool and COM
posed woman who entered Taunton so many
weeks ago. During the day, when she
dresses, she takes exercise in the corridors
of the woman's apartment, and she spends
much of her time in the hospital room
above, where Mrs. Wright has given her
two windows full of flowers to look after
and in a measure divert her mind.

SLATE ROOFS MUST GO.
A Project on Foot at Steubenville to Manu-
facture Clay Shingles.

STEUBKNvILLE, Nov. 13. 3.-tSpecidL1 - The
clay shingle, so-called, is the newest roofing
material and is proving a formidable COM
petitor to slate tiling. Capitalists in this
city and vicinity are interesting themselves
in a project to establish plant here for the
manufacture of the new fire clay shingles,
the promoter of the enterprise being John
r. Elder, of indianapolis.
Elder says the rich, plastic clay of such
chemical construction as is required for the
CLAW shingles is abundant in this section.
The best clay burns a rich, fast red, and the
business is said to be very profitable. The
prospects are that plant will be estab-
shingles are said to be made as durable as
slate from the best quarries, and can be fur
nished much cheaper.
