FASHIONABLE CLOAkS.


Delightful Wraps for Evening and Opera
Wear and Dressy Day Cloaks.
The colors most fancied for evening cloaks
are pale gray, pale pink, pretty channels,
cream and sky blue. A pretty cloak is ex-
lctly like that in the first figure of the cut,
with feather trimmed collar and some
glittering trimming on the yoke. 1t is
smart enough for matron and not too
elaborate for a girl. The object some of
the mantle makers seem to have had in
view most of this season was to try how
much trimming they could put upon things.
Some costly evening cloaks appear to be
nothing but beads and feathers.
Some dressy day cloaks are of cloth with
fur Jokes and collars and bright silk lin
ings. That in the second figure of the cut
is seal plush trimmed with opossum and

ner, to make it appear that the white
caps were most r,ltlianly. The truth was
that u vile woman who had been put off
an Ohio River boat took up her quarters
in a school-house and sought to corrupt
the youth of the neighborhood. Ordered
to leave, she refused to go. A company
of men and women took her from the
school house, and the women gave her
n switching. She was not INJURED. 1t
was in no sense as brutal as the act of a
number of church deacons in New Jer

in the neighborhood for u like purpose.
But sensational newspaper correspond
ents made it an outrage that would
make all Indiana shamefaced. 1t may
be said in justification of the white caps
of Indiana that the Ohio River towns
are generally infested with the most dis
reputable wharf rats" to be found in
the country. There are chicken thieves,
drunken loafers, vile women without
any respect for decency or law, and all
kinds of blackguards, who are a general
nuisance. These people might have been
punished if caught in some act defying
the law, but the white caps concluded
to lock the stable door before any more
horses were stolen, and drive out the
dangerous and disreputable without
waiting for them to offend against the
strict letter of the law In doing this
they did good service to the COM
munity, but of course they did not fol-
low the properly defined methods named
in the laws of their State.

Descent In II Diving Suit.

For the plunge you are dressed as
though you had to endure the cold Of
Siberia. With knit wooden hose, cap
and skirt, I have never felt the cold.
Then comes the ample coat, which
we get into through the neck hole,
and the casque, which resounds as if
one had his head in a kettle. They
put on you a belt with dagger. shoes
with loaded soles and lead at your
breast and back. Now you are SO
loaded that you could hardly stand
straight if the boat should tip--then
you go down into the water where all
the weight is no longer felt. Now a
different feeling begins. At the COM
mand, Pump" some one rapidly
screws down the glass in front of your
casque, and you hear noise to which
you have to accustom yourself-pah.
pah! pah! accompanied by a kissing
of the air. Little whiffs of air come
to you, scented with machine oil and
caoutchouc. The beginner fails to
manage the escape, and his coat and
sleeves become inflated, SO that when
he wants to go down he floats at the
mercy Of the waves. 1t is not to be
wondered at that this first plunge

Is unbearable. They have always done
this, but they have not used this name.
But White Caps have no terror to the
country. 1t is seldom that lawless
organization is found in country with
law, except in the petty affairs that can
not be dignified in the courts.
In New Jersey the White Caps seem
to be composed in equal parts Of bigoted
churchmen and rough hoodlums, for,
while the latter regarded it fun to an
noy dude pastor, fresh from Yale Col
lege, the former are equally prejudiced
against the young pastor because he
showed the spirit of manhood and
taught the hoodlums that minister of
the gospel was not necessarily less "a

vestigation by the State authorities.
This was in Southern Ohio. Nothing
had been heard of such an organization
in that State until Nov. II, 1883. Sud-
denly on the night of that date band of
about thirty horsemen appeared in Sar-
DINA, Brown County, and proceeded to
administer punishment to resident ac-
cused of immoral conduct The local
authorities taking no cognizance OF the
affair, an appeal was made to the Gov
ernor. An investigation was immedi-
ately instituted, by which it was dis
closed that there was an oath bound
organization of citizens, some of them
quite prominent in the county, and it
was their purpose to regulate all such
affairs as did not appeal directly to the
courts. Their crimes We're petty, but
unlawful, and prompt steps by the au-
thorities broke up the organization.
The more influential members agreed to
procure the disbanding of the organize
ton. and no prosecutions were made.
These were the two organizations OF
white caps" that attracted investiga-
ton by State authorities. There were
many other smaller vigilant committees
in other States, but there was no evil
dence OF confederated relation be-
tween them to warrant the belief that it
was one organization.
The White Caps have been more
heard Of in tho East in the last year,
not so much because there is fresh i'm
pulse toward the old idea of regulators
and vigilance committees as because
they have taken up the Western name
and adopted it. 1t has been heard of in
Now Jersey. New York. and all over
New England. 1t is convenient name

principal participants. They were tried
and punished, and that ended the white
caps as an extensive organization In
Southern Indiana.
The reports OF the outrages by the
Indiana white caps were no doubt much
exaggerated by sensational newspaper
writer's. The private secretary Of the
late Governor Hovey has been investi-
eating these stories for year past, and
he says that in most instances he found
