WHAT CONES OUTSIDE

II you want a really distinguished
coat this year It must be one absolutely
plain, double breasted, and with strap
ped seams and stitched edges. Indeed,
the real excuse for all these fussy no.
tions about gowns and coats is that it
gives the wise woman who does not in
dulge I'm such frivols and frills chance
10 look really dignifsd and stunning
with apparently little effect. The
woman who secures her effectof "style"
by not doing things is always away
ahead in good form Of the woman who
depends on what she does for her effects.

BARCELONA, November s.--A dyna-
mite bomb thrown by alleged anarchists
into the midst Of a crowded theatre is
the latest outrage and disaster TO be re-
corded in Spain. The Lico Theatre, on
the Rambla De CapuchiDes, the Italian
Opera House, a magnificent building
which is sometimes classed as the
largest theatre in Europe, was filled
last night with large and distinguished
audience and estimated to have close on
TO four thousand people. The opera
civilian Tell" was being performed
for the first time after a long interval
While the performance was proceed
ing and the enjoyment was at its height,
TWO dynamite bombs were suddenly
hurled from the tOpmoSt gallery into
the stalls OF the house. One OF the
dynamite bombs exploded with a terri
bic report, which shook the theatre TO
its foundations, and which scattered
death wounds and destruction upon all
sides.

turning confidence and some indication OF
returning orders. Hope that the election

against the possibilities of unfayorable
tariff revision seemed to be the most promi-

this hope was based the tendency and be-
lief that prices and business should I'M

THE SECOND BOMB,


happily, did rot explode, having fallen
in the lap of a lady, from whence 10
rolled harmlessly 90 the door. The eX-
DiOsion OF the comb caused q scene Of
terror and confusion rarely witnessed
in theatre. TIE whole audience rose
10 It's feet with horror and diSmgy.
Thsre was q fierce and hust.ing rush for
the doors, men and women terceIy fight
inc with each other as they crushed
weaker ones beneath their feet To their
effort To- escape from the dynamite
shaken theatre, leaving the wounded
and dying behind them.
In this mad rush many old people
and children were severely injured
through being trampled under foot,
while others were severely bruised and
crushed by the OutpOuring crowd.
Thus In q very few minutes compare
lively, the theatre was emp,ied except
of the dead and injured.
The stalls presented a terrible sight.
The part where the exploded was a
mass Of spliutered wreckaCe, amid
which lay number of dead bodies,
SHINE of them so terribly mangled as 90
beyond recognition. When the wreck
age was in some degree cleared away 10
was found that there were
FIFTEEN DEAD BODIES,
OF which six were those Of men and
nine the corpses OF women. The bodies
OF the unfortunate ladies lay close to-
gether, their bright Colored evening
dresses, laces and jeweIry, gloves, hats
and bolnets and other iuery drenched
with blood and torn in the most fearful
manner.
The doctors, who had been hastily
summoned by the police, arrived in
quick succession and Immediately COM
nenced careful examination Of the
victims.
Then the dead were removed and laid
together, aad the wounds OF those who
were seriously hurt were then attended
90 by the physicians.

Anarchists have been searched aud sew
