HER ELEGANT CAPE.
How One Woman Made a Saving of

Hints for Those Who Like 60 Dress
Weli-No Need of Looking shabby,
Even Though Times Are Hard-The
Secret Told by One Who Knowu


Those fashionable cspes with a triple collar are
looked at with longing eyes by many a woman
But times are hard and economy is both n virtue
and necessity.
One woman solved the problem most satisfactorily
by coloring her old drab cloth circular rich hand
some Drown with a package OF diamond dyes, thus
actually getting a ten-dollar cape for ten cents
The druggists report a greatly Increased sale for
diamond dyes this fail, and say they have COM
pletely superseded the od-fashioned methods with
iogwood, fustic indigo etc. On each envelope 10
printed full directions, plain and explicit that
any one can use these dyes with perfect success
For nearly a score Of years diamond dyes have
been helping women to dress well at small expense
and II Is natural that their great success should
have brought many short-lived limitations upou the
market. These would claim TO make fast colors
but the light fades them; they adulterated their
dye 10 make the package lcok large. but actual
use proved they could color less than half as much
as the diamond; and offering large profit they se-
cured agents or peddlers TO sell them but a woman
never bought them a second time.
Diamond dyes come in nearly fifty colors spe-
cially prepared for WOOL silk and cotton tep-ceut
package coloring from TO ten pounds Of rood
No other dyes are as strong. nothing else simple
and none so fast and true in color. No woman can
afford 10 risk her goods with limitations especially
when the original diamond dyes are admittedly far
superior.

ESQUIMAUX TOO HOT.
REPRESENTATIVE APPLIES FOh
WRIT OF HABE1S CORPUSs
They Don't Want to wear Furs In warm
pays-suits to be Instituted-Mr. Por-
ter Makes Statement.

CHICAGO, April 1.--Peter Mesher repre-
senting five of the Esquimaux in the VII
lage at the Worlds fair grounds, has ap-
piled for a writ of habeas corpus TO release
certain residents of the village, who allege
that they are being detained against their
will, and are not being treated well.
Magistrate Porter Of Hyde Park says he
will soon begin suit in the United States
court here on behalf of certain Esquimaux
families, asking heavy damages from the
company that brought them to this
country
He states that the whole trouble grows
out Of the refusal of certain OF the Esqui-
maux TO wear their heavy sealskin cloth
ing on warm days. He alleges that Mr..
Daniel. the superintendent of the village,
has kept several Esquimaux prisoners in
their huts for weeks, because they would
not wear furs.
One Esquimaux is down with the
measles. and Mr.. Porter ascribes the SICK
ness to confinement in stuffy hut. lie
also says the Esquimaux Village company
has contract with these people, made
on foreign waters, and that 1t Is there
fore illegal
The contract is one for common labor,
and provides that for the entire three
years that the Esquimaux are under con
tract, each head of the family is to re
ccive 800 in cash and 500 in supplies.
Mr.. Daniels denies the stories OF Ill
treatment. and says none OF his charges
have been locked up. But on this latter
point Mr.. Porter is confirmed by Colone
Rice Of the Columbian Guards.
