at long gallop The dogs, in hot pur
suit, soon came up and khvatai made

the wolf, who, however, picked himself
up and went on.
Both dogs in turn now came up, but
did not get an opening for minute or
so, when Molodetz tackled and pinned. y
Khvatai at once joined ina very good

In less than thirty seconds the hunts

up and secured him. He was then put
back into the cage and carted off. As

I had occasion to visit the leading

surprise. the march of the army of

transit. The invention is certainly the
most thoroughly practical thing Of its
kind have ever seen.
Incidentally took look at the new
gloves for the fall. The tan shades, l
am told, will be leaders. The inclina-
ton is, however. toward dark colors,
and it is safe to predict that the bright,
loud tans viii not be accorded a fatter-
ing reception. There is no change in
full-dress gloves.
A new idea in scarfings for fall is q
square of silk called in London a 'long
shawl" These are intended for four
in-hands or Ascots, or they may be
worn as mufflers- l notice, too, that
the scarfs are again made up in Rum

THE FEMALE "sIAMESE TWINS"
A Pair OF Pretty Girls Wonderfully and
Fearfully Joined.

A Pair OF Pretty Girls Wonderfully and
Fearfully Joined.
In the New York Sun few days ago
reference was made to pair of Indian
"Siamese twins" who are about to be
exhibited all over the world. and par
ticnlarly at the Chicago fair. These
twins are pretty girls, who have been
taught to play several musical instru-
ments, to sing, and even to dance.
They are joined together as were the
Siamese twins, but the junction is Of
bone, and not of skin and flesh merely,
as was the case of the Siamese twins.
This junction, too, is four inches long
and about four inches wide, sembling
somewhat the form of a hump. and this
keeps their chests and little stomachs
apart. With this difference they are as
well formed as any other child, even
down to their nails. OF course they arg
forced to stand facing one another, and
their four little hands either rest on the
point of junction or are placed on each
others shoulders. They stand as if
leaning on one another, and walk in
a peculiar manner, the one advancing
pushing the other backward, or both
moving sideways, and as matter of
course locomotion is very slow.
When they sit down their legs are
doubled under them in a lay sugges-
tive of pain and discomfort. They eat
separately, but both feel hungry at the
same time, and when they lie down
both fall asleep together. They are
also apparently moved by the same
ideas. the one concluding a sentence the
other has begun. Radhika and Dhud-
hika, for so they are called, are so much
alike in features that it is hardly posi-
BILE to distinguish them. They were
born in village called Noapara in the
Angul district, in Orissa, and their
parents had four children before the
twins were born and one since. None
of these, however, is in any way defec-
tive
When it became known in the village
that these children were born so joined
together the villagers declared that
they were an incarnation of the devil,
and no one would 60 near them through
fear; they refused TO sell the parents,
who were very poor, anything; nor
would anyone give any sort of help.
The Tahsidar, however, in spite Of what
the Brahnans said to deter him, went
to their house and helped them in time
to save their lives. and suggested TO
them that they might make money by
exhibiting the children. This they did,
and at the time their present manager
got hold of them they were exhibiting
the phenomena in the far interior.

THE FALL STYLES IN HATS.

silk, and the man of fashion, he who
bows at the shrine of every seasons
styles, was there to select the very
latest in the English make.
This make is, after all, the fad Of the
man who would be an ''out-and-outer'
in the fashionable world. Nor are they
well pleased with the new fall styles
that have just como in from abroad.
They are too conservative by far. The
bell shape is departed from more than
ever, and one or two Of the styles look
tile the Irishman- wears in the play.
| The brim is full roll, as in the spring
style. In the derby the round crown is
unchanged and the colors remain alb
solutely the same. If anything, the brim
is narrower.
I then took a glance at the latest
American styles and found but little
change. The bell-shaped silk is still
the vogue, and in the derby there is not
the slightest change in either the shape
OF crown or in it's height. There is
some slight concession to the English
styles in the full-roll brim of the high
hat, but beyond that the American silk
is sui generis. In soft felt hats the
styles at home and abroad remain IN
changed.
Among the men met there was Con-
gresham Warner, Of New York, and
his friends will probably fail TO recog-
nize him in his latest style. That tall
white hat, with its creamy, silky tex
ture, and the nap of which always looks
as though it were brushed the wrong
way, has been exchanged for black
silk. / do not know what Congressman
Warmers constituents will say, but

sibly to ''shoot it,
But I was attracted a moment later
to where DE Lancey Nicoll was giving

And the fashionable district attorney
is right. There is no question but what
it will this season supersede all con-
trivances of the kind. The case is made
to hold six or twelve hats, has de-
tachable cover, and is designed to fit
into trunk, from which it can be re-
moved without disturbing the hats.
The hats are packed so carefully that
they cannot be injured in any degree in

NOVEL OUELiNG.
How Our Indian Neighbors Settle Thei:
Differences.

Differences.
It is fact that among American In.
dams Of the same tribe, though they
may number thousands, there are few
cases of quarrels that ever result in
murder. This is strange when it is re-
membered that the Indian is passion
ate, uncontrolled in his impulses, cruel
and ferocious by nature. They have
their difficulties and quarrels, however,
but arbitration of the old men prevents
bloodshed or murder.
Yet once in awhile fight occurs, and
1t is a novel sight to witness. says en-
old western traveller. One buck chal-
lenges another to combat Accompanied
by his friends to the battle-ground, each
buck Is stripped and made to confront
the other.
Between them lies a war club, a
smooth, long piece of hard wood, sea-
soned by years of service and regarded
with reverence because of the blood
stains on it received during the war.
The seconds of the surly-looking duel
lists toss up piece of bark. The win
Ter picks up the club and his opponent,
folding his arms, plants himself. bend
ing his head.
1t is the clubbearer's privilege to
whack his antagonist just as hard as he
can and with all the vigorous malicious
ness he can command on the back One
blow is struck and then the man who
has endured it picks up the club and his
opponent is subjected to all the force he
can command.
So the whacking goes on and almost
every blow is a knocls-down one, until
the duelist last knocked down refuses
to accept the club from his opponent
He has had enough and the party
breaks up. The severity of the punish
ment endured in these duels is marvel
Gus. The club used has jagged edge
and every blow struck brings blood,
making deep cuts and fearful bruises.

portant decisions which has been hand
ed down since the Interstate Commerce
act was enacted. Last July w. G.
Brinson, David Brown, IL. Hopkins,
Henry Walker, w. r. Strecking and

of the questions. Judge Gresham In
long opinion refuses to grant the petit
tion to compel the witnesses to testify
and produce books, holding that the
Court could not be made subsidiary to,
or subordinate auxiliary TO a non

This is the famous case in which the

A Man Can Clear SO Per Cent. Making sn-
yer Dollars as Good as Those Made by
Uncle Sam.
BUTTE, MONT, December IA
strkingly suggestive letter was to-day
sent to Secretary Foster, Of the United
States Treasury Department., at Wash
ington, by Superintendent Allen, Of the
Butte and Boston Mining Company, OF
this city. The letter is an offer to make
any amount of much better silver dol
lars for ninety cents apiece than are at
present in use. Mr.. Allen takes the po-
sition that the counting OF silver at SIS
cents per ounce, the intrinsic value Of
silver dollar is only 65.71 cents. He
would put in each dollar 400 grains OF
pure silver, where the present dollar
only contains 3714 grains, and he
would number and letter each coin so
that the government would not be COM
PEELED TO red eem duplicates, safeguard
now neglected.
Mr.. Allen says he would reap profit
in coming while the price Of silver was
anywhere under 1899. The letter
adds: "Whlle it has always been posi-
BILE to recognize counterfeit paper
mOutgs bnO pAOSOh0 ei4NNA NOAd Noh w
produced at a profit OF SO per cent and
a coin that can not be detected. This
is true of silver moneys, whether for
elgn or American. Now my proposition
is TO either withdraw the present silver
money before the excess becomes so
large that 1t will bankrupt the govern
ment to redeem 1t or combine with for
eign powers who are equally in danger
and make the old standard Of value Of
129. 80, which will make a coin that can
not be counterfeited without the use Of
base metal alloy, which is easily detect
ed and for which the government will
never have TO pay"
Commenting on the letter the Daily
Miner says: ut shows that under the
law and price as they now exist the
counterfeiter can make equally as good a
dollar as is made by the government
aud still accumulate fabulous fortune.
He can make a dollar out Of Go cents
worth OF silver, with $3.50 worth OF sill
YER he can make $1,000 and from $780,
600 worth of the metal he can reap a
profit of $3.50, 900. Whether this trick
has already been played on the govern
ment is impossible for the ablest expert
to say, for counterfeit dollar can stand
every test and so far as human mind
can ascertain will establish it's genuine
ness.
