Cloaks for the wee ones are DANTE
and more luxurious than ever before.
They are frequently made of soft faille
or bengaline in white or any delicate
shade of color, and are mostly coats in
Mother Hubbard style. The yoke, how,
ever, is merely deep enough to sew tie
fullness OF the skirt upon it. y bunchy
effect is really aimed at and easily
achieved, with the fullness SO high, and
tiny capes or plaitings and rutiles added
over the shoulders. They are very fas-
cinating; and they are properly completed
with cunning poke hoods to match them,
which come in sizes up to seven Years
old.
For misses and young girls there is a
great variety of coats, ranging from
short jackets to long redingotes. The
boucle and other rough, but heavy and
soft, cloths are used for these, in many
fancy mixtures. The brown boucle
trimmed with beaver is very handsome,
as is also long green coat trimmed
with gray fox; while for a brunette
nothing could be more becoming than a
dark red and. black garment of heavy
diagonal weave, trimmed with black
Hercules braid.

The Famous ComstOck.

The famous Comstock was discOv-

story told, the ground on which the
lode was afterward discovered was
prOspected by Comstock, who located
a claim but made up his mind that 1t
did not amount to much and so
abandoned It, Shortly after this an
odd character named Finney was

stones, disclosing signs of the pres

small quantity OF earth tested came
$40 or $l5 worth of gold. When
Finney and two of his friends were

Comstock and demanded to know

They we're obliged either to kill him
or take him into partnership, SO they
did the latter.

FROM MR. ADAMS

His Reply to ii Question ASKED by the
Rev Mr. Dixon of Hartford.
C. Collard Adams writes to the Hartford
Times:
In the report in Mondays Times of the
Sunday evening sermon of the Rev Mr.
Dixon are these words:
There is an impression abroad that
Roman Catholics owe allegiance to the
pope, which they hold superior to their al
legiance to this country and that in case
of trouble between Rome and the United
States, they would take the part of Rome.
If this impression is a mistake, Catholics
ought to correct it.
Again: He (NIr DiXon) is willing to be-
lieve a Catholic when he states that his
prior allegiance is not due to the pope"
As Mr. Dixon speaks seriously, l reply.
l was Il Protestant clergyman for over
twenty years. l have been a Catholic lay
man for over ten years. 1 am not only an
American citizen whose ancestors have
been here for nearly two hundred years,
but 1 enlisted as a private in 1862. In one
sense, therefore, | am doubly an American
citizen And 1 will say frankly to the Rev
MIR Dixon that, intensely Catholic as 1 am,
owe no poll ical allegiance whatever to
any ecclesiastical superior, be he my pas
tor, my bishop or pope. No allegiance do
owe any ecclesiastical superior which can
in any sense whatever conflict with my
duties rs an American citizen. l am to
render unto Caesar the things which be
CAESARS and unto God and the church the
things which be Gods and of the church,
and between these there is perfect har-
mony.
invite the Rev Mr. Dixon to read my
reply in the next Sunday evenings dis
course.
The A. P. A. will die an early death, and
the epitaph will be: 'Killed in the house
of its friends" c. CoLLARD ADAMS.

AN EMBEZZLER'S FIX.
Escaped Disguised In Skirts, but Had to
Give Himself Up.

KOKOMO, Ind, Feb. 27.-Calvin Arm
strong, Upton county's eX-deputy treas,
urer and $500 emb zzler, who escaped
from Jail two weeks ago delivered himself
to an officer from kukunin at the Palmer
House in Chicago and will be lodged in the
penitentiary at Michigan City. Sunday
afternoon the young man telegraphed here
for Sheriff Simmons IC meet him at the
hotel, and on the arrival of the officer Arm
strong was on hand.
In any event, had he not voluntarily sur.
rendered, he would have been arrested
within few hours, his whereabouts hav,
ing been discovered through his sweet
heart, Miss May Shellen berg of this city,
who last FIR day joined him in Chicago.
She, il is said, advised him to give himself
up, as his capture would only be a Ques-
ton of short time.
1t seems that when Calvin escaped from
Jail he went to the house of friends short
distance away and remained there fully l.
guised in female clothing aud went to Chi
Cago, cherishing the hope that certain of
his erstwhile friends would advance him
enough money to get him to Mexico
He found very soon, however, that those
who aided him to blow" his money on the
race tracks were anything but friends in
adversely, and finding himself destitute he
soon concluded to take the advice of others
and take his punishment. His father, who
was treasurer, is now serving one year
term for the same crime.
