Fashions Echoes.

Black satin hats are speciality of the
coming season. Some sent over from Paris
have pale green velvet pompon as the sole
touch of color
A lovely tone of red violet in two or three
shades, called petunia by modistes and
dahlia by tailors, is fashionable color of
the season. Real violet is also coming for
ward. An entire costume was recently
made of it matching nearly the sweet
scented flowers the wearer wore in her coat.
Once upon a time black satin was only
worn by middle aged ladies and dowagers.
Now, however, it is the material Of which
the smart girls dinner dress is made. Ere
quently one sees it trimmed with green.
Tricolored bows, with sharp outstanding
ends, are among stylish forms of hat trim

Judge LOchren Of Minnesota TO Be
Commissioner Of Pensions.
UNITED STATES CONSULATE

WASHINGTON, April THE President
sent the following nominations TO the SEN
ate: Hannis Taylor of Alabama, TO be min
lister TO Spain; William Lochren of Mime
sofa, to be commissioner OF pensions,
Charles Edward Briggs of Iowa, to be an
assistant surgeon in the navy.
Judge Lochren is 81 years of age and
was born in Vermont, where he was edu-
Gated in the public schools and admitted to
the bar. He went to Minnesota in 1857
and practiced his profession, but when the
war broke out he was one of the first men
In the state TO abandon his civil pursuits
and enlist in the First Minnesota regiment.
When the war was over William Loch-
rem returned to Minnesota and resumed
the pras tice of law. He was very popular
and was twice the Democratic caucus
nominee for the seat in the United States
senate.
In 1882 he was appointed by Republi-
can governor to a judgeship on the circuit
bench, and at the expiration of his appoint
ment was twice reelected to the same
place without opposition. His popularity
Is best attested by the fact that although
he is Democrat, his candidacy for the
place for which he is nominated was in
dorsed by the unanimous vote of the Re
publican legislature of Minnesota.

INFANTICIDE THE CHARGE.
On Which Mrs. Ellen VI. Gloster Will BE
Arraigned In Court.

BosToN, April Mrs. Ellen NJ. Gloster,
now confined in the Dedham Jail on the
charge of infanticide, will be arraigned in
the supreme court on Monday.
The case Is a peculiar one. About two
years ago Mr.. and Mrs Gloster vacated
the house in North Weymouth in which
they had lived for number of years, and
moved to another part of the city.
New tenants was soon found for the
house the Glosters had left, and after the
family had resided in it about week a
stencil was discovered emanating from the
cellar, and an investigation revealed the
dead body of an infant, with rope
tightly bound about its neck, buried in
one corner.
Suspicion at once fastened upon Mrs.
Gloster as the mother of the child and that
she had murdered it. She was arrested
and indicted by the grand jury She as
serts her innocence, and claims that she
can prove that she was not the mother of
the infant

BY many the hair is dressed very low in
the neck in large knot, often of "bun
shape" At other times it is rolled, twisted
or plated.
Contradictory accounts as TO what form
the fashionable coiffure will assume are
heard. A very becoming and agreeable
new French style reminds one in some re
spects of the Grecian knot fashionable two
seasons ago. The hair is parted in the mid
die and waved in the same way at the sides
and twisted into loose careless knot on
the crown of the head. Another point of
resemblance is the short ends of curled hair
drawn through the knot and allowed to fall
loose. From low forehead the hair may
be drawn back impaired, with loose fluffy
curls falling on the forehead.

very much like those of human being.
After describing the measurements and

safe course to pursue was to get the accused

say it was chicken blood. which could

of several other animals. but Professor
Curtman did not believe the blood of dog
could always and under all circumstances be
