It's the insane hospitals that MIR. John

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION IN ROME.
The Bombs Seem to lie Intended for n
Pope's Attaches.

The Bombs Seem To lie Intended for the
Pope's Attaches.
RoME. March 2l.-A short time after the
explosion last night Of bomb at the
Barignoli palace in the suburb OF Rome.
another explosion occurred in the city,
being the second outrage OF the kind with
in the city proper in less than a week. the
first having occurred on Friday last az
the Ancient Mattel palace, the residence
OF Mr.. Potter, the U. $. minister. Last
nights outrage was perpetrated at the
residence OF the Marquis Sacchetti, grand
marshal OF the pRpal court, and has caused
feeling of great an iety in vatican circles
In view of the fact that the efforts OF the
dynamiters seem in a measure to be
directed against the attaches OF the pope's
court.
This affair has caused the police to be
more than usually vigilant. During the
night another bomb was found
on the staircase OF house
in the Via Dele Quatro Fontane.
A lighted fuse was attached to the bomb
and it was discovered just in time to pre-
vent an explosion that in all proba-
biity would have resulted dis
astrously to the building and its
occupants. The police have no clue TO the
authors of the outrages, though they
firmly believe they are anarchists who
are trying TO intimidate the authorities
and thus prevent the punishment
OF number OF their friends
who were recently arrested. This
theory is not generally accepted. however.
as the outrages have been directed as
much against the vatican officers ~
against the government. Every possible
enort is being made to detect the guilty
parties and to prevent repetition OF the
outrages.

The matter of gloves, wells and jewels

or gray dressed kid makes the most suit

are best. There is no limit set when

one of the loveliest sights in the world
is an old lady, her work done in this
world, sitting with hands folded in her

with shining rings. The soft tulle gath

There are some colors that old ladies
have accepted as belonging particularly

heliotrope.
Lace also belongs to them by right,
and they should have plenty of it, and
the better it is the more it becomes the
wearer.

are caps Of all kinds. bonnets and wells

of lace jabots and neckwear.
There are knit wool capes, and sacks
in elder down flannel trimmed with
knitted wooden lace and many ribbons,
that are comfortably warm and pretty.

There are many of the pretty but almost
forgotten palm leaf designs in the colors
that are most suitable.
I noticed one with dark purplish
brown ground, with border around the
bottom and ON the sleeves Of palm leaves

Among the pretty things provided for
the old lady are lace jabot of black
