drapings: and in the prolongation of
basques into pretty folds and falls.
Two costumes are here reproduced
that illustrate admirably some of the
newest Of the overskirt ventures. They
have grace, virtue which not all can
lay claim to, and they are not to oradi-
cal for the average American.
One that noticed is black velours
over a rich, dark red ground. The
skirt is plain. with gathered back, sim
ply edged with band OF brocsde.
Then over the plain bodice is fitted
second of the same dark brocade. cut
round and low at the neck, and edged
with black feather trimming. This
bodice is slanted off entirely at the
left side. and runs round to the back
at the right. Beneath the belt, which
is slender band of feathers, falls the
overskilt, long. slightly gathered
point Of brocade, feather-edged. Short
ruffies, in deep waves, fall over the
sleeves. It is dainty and very fetch
ing costume.
Another is black pointille, whose
full skirt, edged with astrakhan, is
very slightly draped in front. The
waist fits without a wrinkle; over it
falls a quaint bolero turned back in
revers that hang IN coquilles, fastened
back with black buttons and faced
with magenta satin. Over the hips
full basque falls. turning back in front

Ablngdon's Closed Banks.

The people are still very gloomy over ths
closing of the banks, many of them having
had the savings OF lifetime deposited in
them. Most of the depositors, however, have
an abiding confidence in the integrity and
capacity Of the bank officers and directors,
and believe they will eventually get all their
money. The Bank of Abingdon will endeayor
to wind I'D its business and will hardly at
tempt to open up again, but the Exchange
and Deposit Bank is making an effort to re-
sumo business, and depositors representing
much more than one-half its Indebtedness
have already signed paper locking to that
end. As it is conceded that the bank will be
able to pay its obligations dollar for dollar,
parties owing will be permitted to discharge
their Indebtedness with any outstanding cer-
tiicates against the bank that they may be
able to obtain. 1t anticipation OF this kind
OF q settlement much paper has already ex-
changed hands. The Exchange and Deposit
Bank has assets in excess OF Liabilities OF

has more than 100000. Only the currency
famine anil the eagerness OF depositors to
get hold OF their money caused the suspen-
sion ofthese hanks, but 1t is great misicr-
sune, all the same.

boat Yosemite.

A fire which covered a vast extent OF terri
tory bega1 in that part of the city known as
South Chicago about 5 o'clock P. NJ. From
three story brick building at the corner OF
Ninety first street and Superior avenue flames
which rapidly grew in volume under gale
of wind from the west, ate their way over
block after block of small frame residences
until they reached the lake.
The fifty thousand residents Of the town
were precipitatsd into panic. As the pine
structures in.which lived the workingmen
employed In tho large steel mills Of the Hi
nois Steel Company, and in which thesmaller
merchants of the place made their homes,
were leveled by the roaring flames, those
whose homes had no, yet fallen fed with
their goods and household utensils to the
other portions OF the city. Streets were
blockaded with wagons containing tie effects
OF the frightened and fleeing residents, and
men and women, appalled, by the calamity,
fed in every direction.
From the brick building in which the fire
had its origin, and before the few fire engines
of the district could make tne slightest i'm
preston upon it, the flames bounded east
ward between Ninety-first and Ninetieth
streets in the direction Of the lake. House
after house rapidly fell before the sweep OF
are, which hurled blazing bran1s far in ad'
vance. From Superior Avenue the flames
crossed to OntaIio avenue, Buffalo avenue,
Mackinaw avenue and Greenbay avenue.
Among the first buildings to fall was the
First Methodist Church, at Ninety-arrst
street and Superior avenue and before its
spire had toppled to the ground the new and
commodious German Lutheran church on
the opposite corner was blazing in a dozen
places. Hardly had these more pretentious
bu ldings been leveled to the ground than
the fire was detected blazing in dozen
places further ehst.
The local depart rtment, q branch Of Chief
Sweenie's city service, had been called upon,
also all the help in the immediate district,
but by the time the First Methodist Church
was we'll on fire it was seen that every effort
must be made to prevent the destruction OF
the greater part OF the town.
The central fre-alarm Office sent to the fire
every engine that could be spared in the
south side OF the city. The Yosemite, the
giant flreboat lying at the foot OF La Sale
street, was hurried from its dock and was
soon plowing its way through the waters OF
the lake in its thirteen-mile race to the far
southern section where the 6re was raging.
Before it had reached the harbor at South
Chicago the terrific force Of the fire had
eaten away the five blocks between Superior
avenue and the lake, and the Yosemite turned
its attention to the immense lnmber yards on
the river front.
Ate NJ the fire was under control. 1t
had burned 250 hou es. Seven thousand
people were homeless, and the damage was
