An Autumn Toilette.

The woman who is gowned with fine
suitability to self and the season, pos
sesses the artistic conception. When
skies CLEAN through a luminous haze,
and flower and foliage bear the crimson
aud FURNISHED TINS of autumn, rich
hues in the toilette of a beautiful wo-
man seem a part OF Natures superb
harmony of color. A costume embody-
ing this design OF exquisite titEess was
observed recently, upon propitious
day that brought out some of the new
est modes of autum .. Red is the tone,
par excellence, for gowns OF the crisp
demi-saison, and this toilette was a
dark-red cloth, showing changeable
shades in its soft warp.
The skirt, of elegant cut, was round
and haring, and was bordered with two
narrow folds of red velvet, closely dis
posed n short, perfectly fitting bodice
fastened at the side with velvet but
tons. The sleeves were boutfant, with
ripple capes of velvet falling over the
shoulders. A ruche of velvet nestled
about the fairness of the throat, and
revers turned back in slender points
from the corsage. The bodice was or
nately finished in three graduated
basques of velvet and cloth, that encir-
cled the hips and gave the suggestion
of panniers, now accounted desirable
by the smartly-dressed woman.
The wearer of this striking gown was
tall and gracile-and the rich coloring
of her autumn toilette brought out the
tints of bronze-brown hair, dark, lus-
trous eyes and pearl and rose complex
ion. with vivid etfecti geness.

French Opera In New Orleans.

spectacle is enhancing.
The opera troupe for the present sea-
son claims some fine artists, and, Prof.

musician of New Orleans, is director
general.
The season opened on Thursday eve-
ming with "Les Huguenots, the mas

told in magnificent melodies.

Mrs. Cruger spends the greater por-

beautiful country seat on Long Island,
and it is said that she is now writing a
novel that will be her masterpiece.

GET YOUR MONEYS WORTH.
You Can Do This At Our Store.

1t is always the duty of every one
to get their moneys worth IN all
transactions and on all occasions. But
there times when this practice should
be more closely adhered to, for the
reason that financial stringencies
make it imperative to watch the lone
dollar more closely than in times
when money is plentiful. True there is
really no panic, but there is still a
lack of confidence which keeps the
money boarded and poor people are
hard up on that account. 1t is to
those particularly that we address
ourselves to-day and invite you to
come and inspect our stock. We have
no hesitancy in declaring this to be
one of the most complete in North

There is at least one member of the

crat, carries democratic methods into
the daily conduct of his business. He
is Postmaster-GeneralB Bissell. 1t would
be hard to imagine any high official in
any government of the world more ac-
cessible. He is to be reached as
promptly by the mechanic as by the
capitalist who is able to draw his check
for a million. Employees of the post
Office department, who have noted the
simplicity of manner of their chiefs, are
predicting that before the end of August
Mr.. Bissell, who is quite feshy, will re-
ceive his callers in his shirt sleeves,
making himself as comfortable as possi-
BILE while transacting the public busi-
ness. He is said to explain his methods
by saying that the work of the depart
ment is very heavy, and he has no time
to waste on fummery. He also ex-
presses the belief that, being a servant
of the public, every one who wishes to
see him about affairs of any Importance,
no matter whether to the visitor or to
the government, has the right to de-
mand and secure entrance during the
hours set apart for that purpose.

Mrs. Tom Van Gets Three Years.

Judge Munly sentenced Mrs. DIR. Tom
Van yesterday to serve a period of three
years in the penitentiary. In passing
sentence upon the prisoner his honor
said that the crime was one of the most
heinons in the criminal calendar, and
though the extreme penalty which can
be inflicted under thelaw is Is years, yet
on account of the extenuating circum-
stances of the case and the poor health
of the prisoner, he said the court was in
clined to be lenient. The attorney asked
for 20 days to file bill of exceptions
which was granted.
The charge against Mrs. "Dr." Tom
Van was manslaughter, in having per
formed criminal operation upon Miss
Helen Wilson, on February 8, causing
the young woman's death. The case has
been attracting considerable attention
for the past two months and well known
legal talent has been engaged.
