CAPRICE OF FASHION.
Some of the Changing Styles in Dress an,
Millinery.

Some of the Changing Styles in Dress and
Millinery.
A peculiarity of present-style millin.
cry is a suggestion of a cape TO the
small bonnet. This is made OF plaitings
of lace, that fall over the back of the
head. Some of these pla;tings almost
touch the collar of the dress. Whether
they are the forerunner of the real
cape to the bonnet remains TO be seen.
Fashionable caprice ranges from the
three-quarter length cape OF plain
plush, velvet, cloth or fur, with high,
rolling collar, TO a similarly shaped
-. cf h-ccc1c3 a-cl->i G-----1
or spotted fabric or fancy cloaking ma
terial, with anywhere from three to
seven little cape rufflcs.
4 novelty in a bodice for evening
dress is a plain-ftting body of silk, with
collar and deep Vandykes of Ella borate.
" embroidered velvet These Van
dykes fall over the back and the sleeves,
and one exceptionally long point ex-
tends down either side OF the front to
the waist-line.
A few handsome poke-bonnets of vel
vet are Sceu- 1ncE are almost GNactlv
in the style OF 1880, and while they are
extravagantly becoming to few wom-
en-, they make the rank and file SIM
ply frights. Moral: Be very careful in
selecting the style of bonnet known as
poke.
Instead OF fur-lined garments fashion
runs TO the bright. fancy Innings with
the fur on the outside. The fur-lined
circular of years past would furnish a
good model for the present-day garment

The majority OF cape wraps are lined
with very rich material, brocade, shot

Bonnets are very small; but as one

A MEXICAN ARTIST.
He Is Here to Study the Works in
Our Galleries.

Manuel M. Restori OF the City of Mexico was
an arrival from the south yesterday and is
registered in the Palace. Mr.. RestoSi Is an
artist of note, who comes to this city as the
guest of John Talbot Clifton, the English noble
man, who has recently made visit o the first
pamed gentem ms native land. Mr.. Clifton,
in facT. is pupil of the artist, of whom the
latter is enthusiastic in his praise, declaring
that the nObleman has great natural talent in
the direction mentioned.
Mr.. Restori intends while here to visit the
galleries III this city and elsewhere, for the
purpose of acquairting himself with the artistic
resources OF san Francisco and California.
He has produced a number of works which
have gained celebrity The last of which was
entitled Five o'clock Tea" and represented
President Sebastian Camacho of the Mexican
Central Railroad, together with the members Of
his family, seated about the dinug-table an
other was portrait of President DiaZ, which
hangs on the wall of one of the most prominent
clubs In the City of Mexico.
Mr.. Restori was quite complimentary in his
remarks about the productions of American
artists, particularly their work upon marine
subjects. His Specialties are horses and mill
tary subjects his best works in those lines
being now in the private gallery OF Juan Corr
bar, Mexican gentleman of wealth and post
ticn, who is also an enthusiastic amateur
painter,

The witness having testified that he did
not examine the second will at any time
during the mysterious aDsence of the first,
was asked concerning finances. He made
no secret of his position.
''Im paid for this business, of course"
said he. Pm not doing it for nothing
by any means. I've been paid money al
ready, a considerable amount of money,
and l don't hesitate to say that expect
more. l was paid by Mr.. Arthur Rodgers.
Mr.. Rodgers gave me his own check"
what? A lawyer with a check
book?" muttered Johnson in his beard.
What next?"
&Then the trouble centered itself upon
that stale old question OF the looping or
non-looping of the final ''e's" in Martins
handwriting. Grove johnson tried to
make Breckenfeld admit that it was Mar
tins practice TO loop his final "e's." but he
had bad time trying it. He found some
instances. however, which the expert de-
clared were the executions that proved the
rule. For instance. in a letter dated No
vember, 1892, there were found eight of
these exceptions, while in another dated
January. 1892, there were three discovered.
johnson smiled. He said: 1--WE agree, you
see; you with your microscope, L with my
naked eye. Now. you may have changed

your mind since you have found so many
final ELS"
Not Bit" was the reply. "Those are
the very rare exceptions"
Then they got on to the terminal "y"
proposition. After a great deal of bad
gering the witness was fain to admit that
Martin had no hard and fast rule in this
respect. 81 must agree" he said, ''that
Mr.. Martin had no well-defned habit.
Anyway, this cut nc figure in forming my
opinion.
"All right, then; we'll say the VS.
don't count. Now, how about the rs?
Don't you admit the majority are crossed
below the top? and so forth. All the
spectators and most of the attorneys were
getting very tired by this time. yet still
the dreary cross-examination went ON.
They thrashed out the sc" ''y," 81" and
I'm" subjects ad nauseam" and they
agreed somehow until the initial "H's"
were touched upon. when Breckenfeld in
sisted that his former testimony OF the
subject should be read by the official re-
porter. However, nothing significant came
of that
Then straws were split upon the question
of Joining or disjOining of certain letters
together, with the upstrokes upon u.s..
In several instances The expert had to con-
tradict his general testimony by admitting
specific instances of distinct joining of
the particular letters. 1T looks joined"
he would say.
Grove johnson felt he was making small
Roadway. Dye mean to say it looks
joined to your eye, but by microscopic en-
largement, camera lucida, chemical oper-
alton. or some other jugglery it appears
different ?" he snapped out.
There was no answer.
Tue famous crOss-examner put one
funny question. The expert insisted on
telling plain, straight facts concerning the
formation of certain letters in Martins
hand writing, but would not commit him.
self in respect to the testator's intentio In
constructing such hierOglyphics. johnson
asked: Now, supposing l should at
tempt to strike you. would you have any
doubt as to my intentiOn?"
Breckenfeld smiled. IF you tried to
strike me and failed your inten ton would
not signify, Mr.. Johnson" he said The
Sacramento lawyer was evidently unaware
that the expert he was torturing is one of
the most powerful athletes in the city.
The conclusion Of Breckenfeld's cross.
examination was taken up, with a few
trivial questions respecting ink-specks on
the first will. Breckenfeld further admit
ted that several words and letters had been
retouched since the photograph had been
taken.
Arthur Rodgers asked few questions In
redirect examination. To him The expert
replied that he first saw the second will or
disputed document" on July 26, 1898. He
had made his examination from pilot
graphs. letters, checks, etc. He made NO
drawings from the second will until it was
brought to him by Deputy County Clerk
| CasserIy.
In conclusion the witness was confronted
with the letter bearing date October s.,
1892, addressed to Mrs. John Martin and
| commencing Dear Belle" signed Love,
Henry" and asked to compare that letter
with the writing of the disputed will. The
day before Breckenfeld had disputed the
authenticity of the letter. Now. he pro-
nounced that the writer of this letter and
