Gen Taylor put his men il line and

The next fight Of the Jerseys is likewise

Balayeuses of contrasting colors are used

The bell skirt apparently precludes the
possibility of q pocket. On the contrary,
make a horizontal slit just below the
waist line, well in front, and hang your
pocket there. 1t cannot hold more than a

better than being pocketless.
Ribbons are used even with cloth dresses.
A folded ribbon three inches wide is used
as belt and fastened with star shaped
rosette OF the ribbon, with a buckle OF or
nament in the center and long ends falling
on the skirt The rentree of white straight
edged laces, Mechlin, point de Venise,
Breton, in jabots and tabliers, indicate
that ribbons will be more worn than ever.
Buttons are restored TO favor after a
long wrestle with hooks and eyes. Pearl,
incised and inlaid, Dresden china and tor
toise shell are the handsomest, if we except
the miniatures in enamel set in circles Of
precious stones that are objects Of art and
may be handed down as heirlooms. Less

Fifteen Fires in Cleveland, an
Opera House Being Destroyed.
CLEVELAND. o.. Oct. 29.-The Euclid
Avenue opera house was totally de-
stroyed by fire this morning. 1t is sup
posed defective electric light
wire started the blaze. The loss
on the opera house is $4,000:
covered by insurance. The theater
was owned by Nj. A. Hanna and was
built about twenty years ago by John
A. Ellser. 1t was considered the finest
theater between New York and Chi
loses about $1,000, which is also in
sured. The Hanlon "Superba" COM
pany lost all their scenery and baggage.
which cost $4,000 this fall. and
the actors lose about $4,000
in costumes and clothing. George w.
NOurSe, the property man of the house,
estimates his loss at $4,000. Neither
the HanlOns nor the actors nor NOurSe
had any insurance. Mr.. Hanna says he
will not rebuild the theater.
Fire broke out in the upper story. rear
of the Severance block, at 1915 p. m.
The building was occupied by Mount IL
and located on the southwestern
corner of Seneca and Long streets.
The losses are divided as fol-
lows: Mrs. S. II. Severance,
on building. $4,000; Mount 81
CO., on printing stock, by water, $1,000;
Fred TIethering. harness. s., SEQ: Bishop
d Drake, overalls, $4,000; Northern
Ohio Plating company, $500. Charles
Semon, tobacco factory in the adjoining
building, damage by water. $4,000. All
the losses are covered by insurance.
There were about fifteen fire alarms TO-
day.

NIAGARA ON THE RAMPAGE.

Rise in the River.
NIAGARA FALLS, Oct. 29.-The cata-
ract this morning took on a heavier
roar, and the river below the falls in
the gorge began to steadily rise The
waves were soon rushing over the docks
of the Maid of the Mist on both
the American and Canadian sides of the
river. The waters rose and engulfetl
the work on the portals of tee American
tunnel. A dam was constructed around
the outside, and the water will have to
be pumped before the extend of the
damage can be aScertained and work
resumed.
The greatest wreck and closest escape
from death is chrOnicled on the Cana
dian side. The Canadian Pacific is con-
structng a tunnel at Table Rock for an
electric plant. The sudden rise OF the
river weakened the enhancement. and
soon the walter was rushing over Table
Rock. Valuable machinery, derricks,
tools and dump-carts were swept away,
and the large wheel pits filled up with
WAGER i'll almost tWinkling.
The negroes and Italians at work
here were warned in time, and the last
Of them had left the wheel pits and
steam drills just before the water made
its approach. Logs and timber are con-
tinually going over the falls. 1t is
feared that the enbankment of the
electric road alOrg the Car adam shore
may be undermined by the continue
rush Of the water and go down. Tne
river is recedlng tonight. A pecul ar
feature Is the increase n the roar of the
cataract. The rapids are n.agn hcent
sight.

A complete list of the losses cannot
be made at this writing. A large pro-
portion of the 500 houses destroyed were
insured in the Ohio Farmers. An ac-
curate count shows that there were 465
buildings burned and 35S families rem.
dered homeless. Residents of the ward
familiar with its population say the
families Will average seven persons
each. 1t is a conservative estimate to
say there are $500 persons homeless.
CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-It was a busy time
with Chicago insurance men today when
the smoke cleared and the sub-agencies
at Milwaukee began TO report the
losses. The various kilograms brought
relief because they proved a conclu.
sion which had already been reached,
that the total amount Of policies to be
paid was less than the first or second
estimate. The fire ragged in cheap
district of the city. and major
ily OF the buildings destroyed con
sists of the cottages of wOrkingmen.
There were but few buildings Oh which
even the large companies had written
5000, while the average policy was
$1,000. The poorer portion of the city
was wiped out and all in reach was
burned, but the great numberof wooden
buildings kept many concerns out of
