Fall Hats For Well Dressed Men.

AS the well dressed man emerges from
his butterfly existence of summer to the
more sober tints of fall, one of the impor-
tant questions that meets him is that OF
the hat. And just at this point must be
noted growing divergence between Amer
lean and English fashions. Anglomania Is
on the wane. according to the opinions ex-
pressed i'm the New York Herald by an au-
thority on mems dress, and this year per-
haps the fact will be more evident in the
hat than in anything else.
The English derby is small. The Ameri-
can derby this year, as illustrated by the
authority referred to, is full at the crown
and more rounded. The pointed hat of a

frills are not abandoned, but are varied,
some having all their fullness in a box
plat at the top of each sleeve, others con-
sisting of succession of bias folds rather
than ruffles Revers are pointed sharply
and are very broad In Robespierre fashion.
Crosswise bands of insertion of velvet,
satin or passementerie are the trimmings
for round waists. OF course such waists
fasten invisibly on the left side and are
alike in front and back. The collar and
belt are "soft"-that Is, bias stock and
girdle fastened at the back with meeting
frills or choux, precisely as they are now
worn.
Short jacket effects are still used. Sleeves
and skirts show little change. Harper's
Bazar from which the foregoing useful re-
sumo of styles is CLEANED, tells also that
among the model gowns prepared by French
couturieres for autumn the prevailing colors
are tobacco brown in wool serges and bour-
cites, the new reds of magenta shades in
boucle mohair and black faced cloths COM
bined with cream white, or black silk with
magenta and jet trimmings.
A calling costume of English design that
appeals to the desire for something unique
is of slate gray cloth trimmed with rows Of
narrow black gallon. The high pointed
Mephistopheles collar, wide figaro lapels
lined with black velvet and paffed sleeves
of the same let into deep cuffs of the cloth,
give distinction to this costume. A wide
band of black velvet finishes the bottom Of
the skirt.

Kester followed with two squadrons In sup

and each season marks a different stage in
its progress. Now we have the full. round

This style is observed by leading hatters,
but there Is also the usual variety, so really
there is no excuse for a man wearing an
unbecoming hat. The silk hat will have
even a more decided bell than last year,
and man with slim legs not wearing an
overcoat will present somewhat top heavy
appearance-that is, il he desires to go TO
the extreme. But the well dressed man
never goes to extremes.

Importations Of dresses from all well
known Paris houses show the changes OF
style that are taking place. Round waists
will prevail for time, but pointed raists
will also be worn, and there is tendency
to lengthen all waists. Basques pe come

with waist and basque in continuous
breadths. Some Of the new basques are

The Charge OF Vagrancy Fails-Cases
Before the Justices.
Tom Ward was on trial before Justice
Seaman yesterday on charge of vag'
rancy. From the evidence of the officers
it appeared that Ward since his arrival
in Los Angeles has lived upon the earn
ings of his wife, fallen woman. Ward
acknowledged this and stated himself
that she had provided the money for his
defense. He aleo said that he had been
steadily drunk for the last month.
Justice Seaman, however, appeared to
think the evidence insufficient and dis.
charged the defendant.
Dan Mcmahon and D. Wilson, two
youths, were fined SIS q piece for steal.
ing whip and come old sacks, by JUS

MORE ABOUTTHE PEGLEG
NOT ON THE DESERT BUT EAST OF
THE COLORADO.
A Ph@nix Man Formerly OF Los An
geles Throws Some Light on
the Mysterious Bo-
nanza.

"Alex," writing to the Phoenix Gaz-
cite, says:
The following letter from a we'll
known and responsible Phoenix attor-
ney is the only true history of the find
ing of the mine, yet "Peg-Leg" Smith
never located his rich find on the Col
orado desert, but in Arizona across the
Colorado river, supposed to be on or
near Bill Williams fork. The first COM
pany that started to fiud the rich mine
consisted of about 10 or IL persons that
were led by Peg-Leg himself in person.
They outfitted in Los Angeles in the
year 1856. The party started from in
front of the writer's Office in the old
Bella Union hotel, and merry party
they were. Peg-Leg Smith and Bill
Stone, both lame, being the merriest.
After getting across the Colorado river
and prospecting for some time, short of
water, and grub giving out, they con-
cluded that Peg-Leg had deceived them,
and called a council who concluded that
Peg-Leg should be hung, but after call
ing in Peg-Leg, and on his statement
that he at no fine agreed to make the
QnQ DuC only TO MS pesJ dulllty WOuiu
assist to guide them to the find, they
let him off, and the whole party re-
turned to Los Angeles worn out and
mad. -s
The first part OF this, as to the out
fitting and starting, the writer knows
of his own knowledge, as he purchased
some of the mules for the party, the
last he got from Bill Smith, who after
ward worked for the Butterfield over
land mail route al hofseshoer, and after
that for John Gohler in Los Angeles as
a shoer. He was an original-full of
wit, very lame, but of peculiar physical
strength. All old timers of that date
will remember Bill Smith Any person
who seeks to find the Peg-Leg Smith
mine on the Colorado desert will lose
his time and money. Since the time
that Peg.Leg started to pilot his compa-
ny to the rich find, the placer diggings
of Picscho, La Psz and the rich Weaver
diggings have been discovered, either of
which might have been the rich find of
Peg.Leg, or perhaps the Gila City mines,
on the Gila just above Yuma-all dis
covered after the year 1868. Perhaps
the writer is the only living person who
knows or remembers these facts. Re

Judge Wade made pretty sAsrt wurk
of the domestic troubles OF Mrs. II. v.
Bsnschuetz yesterday morning, In de-
partment three OF the superior court.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bensohuetz have been
more or less before the public for some
time past in connection with her at
tempts to have her husband pay her
alimony, and charges made against him
of threats. ,ej
1t has been one ceaseless round Of
turmoil between them, and not particu-
larly round OF pleasure for Mr.. Ben
schuetz.
His good-looking wife has developed .
persistency in following up whatever
she started out to do that has been cal
culated to make the recipient OF her At
tentiona feel that married life may
prove disagreeable under certain circum-
stance. -
Judge Wade made an order some
weeks ago that during the time that Mr..
Benschuetz should continue his deser-
tion Of his wife he should pay her $l2
week alimony.
About three weeks ago Mrs. Ben
schuetz appeared in court and COM
planned that her husband had failed to
obey the order for alimony, and he was
should not be punished for contempt.
When the day for the hearing arrived
he was too sick to appear, and the hear
when all parties were present.
Nop hlo ~ trov, oxuo - uyo Inu n
on both sides, it being the contention of
Mr.. Benschuetz that since the proceed-
ings were begun against him his wife
and himself had, on several occasions,
lived together as man and wife.
This was very bitterly denied by the
lady and several witnesses were exam
ined upon the point, with the result that
no very clear conviction was left in the
mind of the court as to the status OF af-
fairs, judging from his remarks from the
bench.
One thing was very clearly estab.
lished, however. and that was that Mr..
Benschuetz had outwitted his pugna-
nesses that he had rented house and
offered his wife home. Inasmuch as
the duration of the time he should pay
alimony was fixed by the court to be
during the time of his technical deeer-
tion of his wife, when he showed the
fact that he had offered her home he
had fulfilled the condition imposed.
Judge Wade very quickly decided,
when this was made evident, that Mr..
Benschuetz was not in contempt and
that he need no longer pay the alimnny
directed to be paid in his original order.
That order was therefore vacated.
