DOLLY MADISON on CANVAS.

A Washington artist, Z. +. An
drews, who painted the Martha WASH
ington and Thomas Jefferson portrai S
which hang in the famous East Room
of the White Hou-e, has been at work
at intervals for four years on full
length portrait of Dolly Ma iison, once
the lovely young mistress of the Ex-
ecuive Mansion. The painting has
been placed on exhibition in the Cor.
coran Gallery.
The picture represents the bewitch;
ing Dolly in garden walk, with a
simple background of autumn foliage.
She is in very natural. attitude, max
ing half-stcp forward, tho hands
gracefully posed, one holding chrysan-
themums and the other supporting a
transparent gauze scarf thrown about
her figure. The combination of col.
ors is skillfully wrought. The few
who have seen the picture are almost
extravagant IN it's praise and pro.
nounce it masterpiece. 1; is intend
ed to be companion piece for the
"Martha Washington" and be the
second in a series that shall include
the first ladies of the land from tho

A PRETTY FABLE.

Girls, here is story of how the
"princess" dress originated Perhaps
it is an invention, perhaps it has a
foundation in truth. AT any rate it is
a pretty little story. Away back in
the days when true knights fought TO
death at the bidding of their ladies,
when the minnesingers aud trouba-
dours sang of true love and chivalry,
there was a party of ladies and gentle
men stopping at little French village
on their way to the castle where the
king was holding court. Some of tho
noblemen of the party began as noble-
men did in those days. and do some-
times yet, to make love to the village
lassies.
One of the most rrincely of these
noblemen fell in love with the daugh.
ter of vineyard keeper, whose SIM
pie white clinging gown with no
garniture SO charmed him that lie
offered her his heart and hand.
She was very beautiful, the legend
says, tall, slim, willowy as The grass
weed that grows in the meadows.
Well, she married him. He took her
to his palace, but would have her
wear no other kind of dress than the
one she wore the day he lost his heart
20 her. She became famous for her
fine simplicity of costume. and all the
court of France copied her gown. 1t
was called the "princess" dress, and
so it is called today.-[Ncw York

soft, warm, light and very stylish.
The colors favored are those which

THE HUSTLER WAR ENDED.
When Uncle Sam Hove in Sight They
Gracefully Surrendered.


Gracefully Surrendered.
BUFFALO, Wyo., April 1.-THE sher-
if and reinforcements from Fort Nc
Kinney, consisting of three troops of
United States cavalry, reached the T.
A. ranch yesterday. The cattlemen
were still barricaded in the ranch
buildings and the besieging party of
rustlers were firing brisk volleys into
their intrenchments, but few shots
were returned.
As the United States troops APP
preached the rustlers ceased firing.
Colonel Van Horn, in command of the
troops, together with the sheriff, re-
connoitered the ground and then
marched within long rifle range of the
ranch and dismounted his men,
Colonel Van Horn and the sheriff,
with flags of truce, advanced to within
100 yards of the outer fertilization,
where they were met by a representa-
tive of the besieged cattlemen. After
short parley the stoclmen surren-
dered to Colonel Van Horn and were
at once escorted to Fort Mckinney,
where they are at present under the
protection of the troops.
The rustlers offered no objection to
the cattlemen surrendcring to Colonel
Van Horn.
Daring the almost incessant fire
which has been kept up for the past
two days on the besicged party only
two men were wounded, one severely.
Their names can't be learned now.
None of the rustlers We're hurt.
