her favorite, is clad in cream serge, and
she who watches anxiously through her

trimming on the first dress is cream
colored ribbon, brocaded with butter
cups, and the short jacket is of cream
serge and ornamented with four mother
of pearl buttons. The folded collar and
little gathered vest are of cream crepe.
The other skirt is trimmed with four
bias bands of satin to match. The bod
ice is OF black crepe de chine, and has q
small cape est off with lace fchu.
The last sketch depicts quite man

sack coat, of fine black cheviot, and has
no trace of trimming. 1t is edged with
double row OF machine stitching. The
vest is cut with small Y in front, which
shows a bit of the shirt in front and the
masculine collar and tie. The vest ia

Sunday here.
Forty cases we're docketed in

Houston was in one of her gay.
est moods Saturday night and the
cops were kept on the Jump until a
late hour.
Houston Heights came in for her
share of the fun Sunday evening.
A brass band had been engaged and
a concert advertised. A large
crowd went out aud some of them
were given to drink. A general
fight was soon on hand in which
about fifteen took hand, and
when the small sized war was over,
two men were found to have been
stabbed ard one with his face
slightly dis6gured by blow on the
nose with a beer bottle.
Then big two hundred and fifty
FOUNDER decided he would do the
crowd. He pulled out his knife
and chased them to the woods and
then returned to the bar at the hotel
to do up the tarkeeper. The bar
keeper pulled his gun on the man
and drove him out of the saloon
AS he went out he met one of the
walters that wo: for the Houston
Heights hotel and commenced to
curse him in the vilest language.
The waiter promptly knocked him
down and as he got up pulled his
knife again and was going to knife
Otto Steidman, who struck him in
the face with his gan, the pistol ex
plodir 9 as he did SO. The man was
only summed aud was arrested a
short time afterwards by deputy
sheriff.

A CHECK FOR q CENTS.
AS q CURIOSITY It is Worth Much
More Than It's Face Value.
From the New York Herald.

a.
A well-known Wall street broker, whose
office is in the Schermerhorn building, has
pasted in q conspicuous place in his pri-
vate Office little piece of paper, which,
even upon the street is regarded as a
great financial curiosity. 1t is check
drawn upon u New York national bank
for cents, and has been certified
1t is a rule with all banks that when the
paying teller certifics by his signature
upon check drawn by depositor that
there are sufficient funds on deposit in the
bank to meet the check when presented
for payment, he does so with the UNDER
standing that the check, if not used and
returned TO the bank through the ordin-
airy cl alneF Of business, the clearing
house, snail be redeposited as though IL
were cash by the drawee II q certified
check fails TO find its way back TO the
bank on which it is drawn, the paying
teller's daily sheet, and consequently the
books of the bank will not balance.
This Accent dereict-the bank accounts
ants probably have a stronger name for it
has now been ''out" several years, and
is probably a constant cause Of irritation
to the bank people, who now must OF
necessity take a balance 4 cents out of the
way as a true one. 1t is not known what
means the drawee Of this check used to
induce the teller to certify it, but they
were undoubtedly potent ones, as may be
learned by any one who will present for
certification check for any way near u
like amount, even though the drawee's
name be good for 10000 times the amount
at the bank at which it is presented The
teller would probably hold it and give a
cashiers check" for like amount in
place Of it. If the party didn't like that,
he could take cash-or do the other thing
The bank would most likely pay con-
siderable premium TO get hold of that
Accent check, as once did the ''Old Lady
of Threadneedle Street" in an instance
of this kind recorded by a writer in the
London Notes and Queries for July L,
1882. BY some misadventure a note for [

Of the Bank of England got into circula-
tion in 1918, and "for many years gave
the cashiers much trouble with their ac-
counts"

writer in Notes and Queries, 1T was
brought to the bank, but the owner, not
unwisely would not take q penny for it,

THE MARRIAGE OF ACTRESSES.
The persistent gossip about Mrs.
Potter'S intention of retiring from the
stage, marrying a rich New Yorker and
settling down again to a quiet domestic
life, has been the cause of some quiet can
vassing to ascertain who the rich business
man may be. Perhaps there "ain't no
such a person The marriages of
actresses are a fruitful topic. They turn
ont sometimes so well and sometimes so
badly that it is pretty difficult to say how
Mrs. Potter would fare if she were really
to Try domestic role again She would
be following many illustrious cX-
amples. Mrs. George J. Gould is the
first that would occur to any one. Mary
Anderson Navarro next, perhaps. These,
with that of Mrs. John Hoey, are mar
riagCs that turned out happily. Emma
Abbott had, and Clara Morris has a hus-
band unknown upon the stage, but de.
voted and kind. You don't hear much
said of Cecil Clay, Rosina Noke's hus-
band, but he is one of the Old-fashioned
sort. Most actresses marry actors, how
ever, and it is probably the wisest choice
they can make. Robert l.. Cutting s
marriage to Minnie Seligman was an eX-
ccption TO all rules. 1t is said. by the

that he was rather attentive to the fair
