French and Encllsh Sailor Hats.

Virot's new sailor hats are of rough
mixed straws that show two or three colors
braided together, as one in which green
predominates has also cream and brown
braids. Instead of a ribbon band, sepa-
rate stiff row of the braid surrounds the
crown. The only trimming is a double
looped bow on the left SIDE made of inch
wide green velvet ribbon edged on each
black quills are thrust in this partly col
ored bow.
English sailor hats just imported have a
red, blue or brown chip brim, slightly
turned up along the edge, with the crown
striped by alternate rows Of cream braid
and the colored chip. The bow on the left
is of velvet and braid, with quills like that
just described.-Harper's Bazaar.

'lf we can keep politics out of the
Homestead trouble, it can be settled"
five can keep politics out of the cam
paign, perhaps the Republican party

has plunged the Pennsylvania iron and

show the cowardice of tricksters and

THE protective tariff never increased

THE protective tariff never increased
wages farthings worth in this coun-
try. Its instant and utter destruction
would not reduce them farthing's

who believe to the contrary-for every
swindler has his dupe-but the mass of
Republican party leaders, orators and
editors know they lie when they claim
to the contrary.--Chicago Herald.

HOW AN ITALIAN MAIDEN PLANNED

But Instead Brought Death to Him and

Love in Northern Italy-A Triangula lar

ROME, August IA tragic tale comes
from the village of Mereagliano, in north
Italy. Saccone, a farmers son, was
enamored of a pretty grape picker named
Bionda. The girl was already betrothed
to one Costa and rejected the advances
of Saccone. The latter then forced
quarrel with Costa, hoping to put him
out of the way and win Bionda's hand.
1t was agreed that the rivals should fight
duel with pistols. The girl, learning
Of the rendezvous, planned to aid her
lover, and, hiding behind him, she fired
at Saccone when the signal was given.
Cosca fired at the same instant, and Sac
cone fell dead, pierced by Costa's bullet.
But Costa also fell, his sweetheart's aim
having been so unskilful that the bullet
from her revolver struck him in the back
of the head instead of reaching it's in
tended victim. More remarkable still,
Saccone's bullet, missing Costa, buried
itself in the bosom of the devoted maiden.

The doctors pronounce Costa's wound
mortal; but think the young woman may

HOOKED IN THE EYE
Horrible and Complicated Accident Which
Befen Capt. John DowdeIl.
Especial to the Press.]

RocKLAND, August 6.-Captain John
Dowdell of Gloucester, master of the
fishing vessel Lucy Ann, met with a
shocking and probably fatal accident to-
night. At about six o'clock, while the
vessel was lying at anchor near the Chase
fish wharf Captain Dowdell appeared on
deck. A few moments later he was seen
to stagger to the rail, the movement
being followed by dull thud, a splash
and then silence. Dowdell's dory mates
rushed to the side, but seeing no trace
of their captain lowered gaff in hope
of raising the body. Fully five minutes
had been spent in this manner, and the
men were at the point of despair when a
weight was felt at the end of the hook.
The men pulled frantically and the mani
mate form appeared on the surface
blood streaming from the right eye in
which the hook had been deeply imbed
ded. The body was taken to the cabin,
where ordinary means of resusitation
were tried without avail. Marine Sur
geon Adams had arrived in the mean
while, and by his orders the victim was
removed to the Marine Hospital, where
every care is being taken. at a late hour
he showed slight signs of returning to

The Consolation Race.

The Consolation Race.
This race for the benefit of the un-
fortunates in the 2.34 and 2.40 class,
proved very interesting and warmly
contested heat.
Five horses appeared, but one of them,
Westwood, was drawn before the start.
The other four drew positions, George
FL. first, Dan Berry second, Zamo third
and Themis fourth.
For the first heat they went to the
quarter in IS seconds, Dan Berry leading.
Then Themis and Berry had break and
the mare got the better of it and led at
the half mile. 1t was a close finish with
all four horses close together. The po-
sitions won were Themis first, Dan Berry
second, Zamo third. George H. fourth.
Time, 2.31, which was little surprising
for that class OF horses and the condition
of the track.
Themis was again the winner in the
second heat with Berry second and Zamo
third. George III. had been withdrawn,
her usual driver, Mr. Sanborn, not being
able to preside over her ON account OF
the injuries to his arm by the collision
on Wednesday, and she was very rank.
l1ulC, A.oc'
For the third heat both Themis and
Zamo were very unsteady and Dan Berry
might have distanced them both, but he
logged home under the proudest general
ship of Frank Fox, dozen lengths ahead
in 2.45.
Berry then became the favorite in the
betting, and with good reason, for he
won the fourth and fifth heats and the
race without much effort in 1854 and
2.3444.
Zamo struck his foot and hurt it badly
in the third heat and was drawn.
So the money was won by the only two
remaining contestants-tirSt to Dan Berry
and second to Themis. Summary:
