TRIM WALKING TOILETS.
They Seem Severely simple After the Frills
of the Prevailing Mode.

They Seem severely simple After the Erilis
of the Prevailing Mode.
Serge and cheviot are the favorite mate
rials for walking toilets this spring; t1en
come the fancy weayes in light woolen fab
RIGS and boucle effects. The various shades
of green, brown and purple prevail, and
black is also popular. Sleeves are cut in
one piece from shoulder to wrist, or are
made with one or more puiIs extending
from the shoulder to the elbow, but in all
cases they are very tight around the fore
arm. Plain tailor made styles are still in
vogue, and the vest has not declined in !a-
vor, while reyers are seen on almost every
description Of bodice, from the morning
jacket to the ball corsage.
Beside the galloons, passementerie and
artistic buttons which are employed rs
trimming for street gowns, they are often
rendered more elaborate and striking by the
skillful introduction Of q small quantity oi

son, as all the large shops are closing out
the remainder of their winter stock of silks
and grapes at reduced prices, and five or six
yard lengths of fine quality may be bought
at half the price per yard that was charged
two or three months previous In thin
qualities Of silk the soft varieties wear bet
ter than the glaCe kinds of the same grade,
although the latter appear to have more
body.
In regard to the mode of making these
waists there is only one law-they shall not
be plain. Even the wash silks are usually
made up full with folded belt and col
lar, balloon sleeves and a double ruching
down the front, while corsages intended for
theater and evening wear are so volumi-
nously and yariously trimmed that it would
seem impossible for the subtlest ingenuity
to invent new style. 4 sketch is given Of
theater bodice composed of pale green
Grape and laurel green satin ribbon, made
over fitted lining Of pale green surah. 1t
is shirred in the form of a round yoke,
which is outlined By band of ribbon fin
ished with erect bows on the shoulders. A
second parallel band curves across The bust.
The bodice is gathered in at the waist un-
der pointed ribbon belt and has short,
full basque lined with surah and trimmed
with band of ribbon. The tight, shirred
sleeves extend from the wrist to above the
elbow, where they are met by a balloon
puff with n ruiIle trimmed with ribbon
band The standing collar of ribbon is sur
mounted by ruching of the Grape. The
bodice closes at the back

If a small hat or bonnet to match is worn
the effect is doubly satisfactory.
A pretty and very simple plastron ar

in a huge bow reaching from shoulder to

ANOTHER LIQUOR TRAP.
Same Place Where the Loose Brick Was
This Time Under the Concrete.

At PAP Fore street, whore the liquor
sheriffs discovered q liquor trap because
of loose brick, the other day, they dis
covered another trap Monday. It was a
new one, even better concealed than the
other. The fact that it had apparently
just been finished, just after the sheriffs
had raidsd the place and destroyed the
old one, indicates very significantly the
persistency with which the business is
carried on.
The trap was built as follows: A great
square hole was dug in the earth, under
the cellar floor. The asphalt had
been neatly cut out and removed. A
large wooden box was IN the hole, on top
of it was cover and earth, and when
the asphalt was replaced there was no
sign of anything beneath. But the blows
of jimmy on the floor made a strange
sound and thus the trap was discovered.
It was empty, but would doubtless soon
have been full of beer kegs.

Across this perpendicular string, he
was drawing violin bow and playing
all kinds of tunes in way marvellous
to hear andsbehold. There was actually
a whole gamut Of notes on that one
string, and he simply held the end in
his hand. But when he wished a low
note he slackened the string, and to
tighten it OF coulse made high note,
and thus he played tunes, lively in air
but mournful in sound, and every note
was correct

Death of Thomas Libby.

Monday evening Thomas Libby died in
the insane hospital at Augusta. He will
be remembered well as the Scarboro man
who, about nine years ago, shot and
killed a woman at the City Hotel in Port
land. He was at the time.under the infu-
ence of liquor, and his defence was that
he did not know what he did. His trial
was one of the most memorable in the
county, Attorney General Baker con-
Quoting the case for the government md
Sullivan G, Andrews for the defence.
Libby was sentenced to state prison for
life; but some time ago it was quite evil
dent that he was insane. Through the
good offices of Governor Robe, of the
Board of Trustees, he was transferred to
the insane asylum, where he died.
His wife, whose constancy has never
wavered, was with him when he died.
His body Ihas been brought home for
burial.

THE /" sEALER.
A Little Implement and Its Work-Why
James Kelley Went to Canada Some
Twenty YearssAgo.

In the United States Inspectors office
there is queer little implement that
loks as if it might be pair of big iron
nut crackers. 1t is a sealer aud its work
is very important. from the fact that it is
state prison crime to interfere with
what this ''sealer'' does. 1t simply
squeezes a little cylinder of lead into a
fiat piece that holds together wire that
is fastened to the lock of bonded car or
warehouse. At the same sine it puts on
the lead sin bond' on one side and
portland, Me- on the other.
To break that wire from that lead, thus
printed, knowing its significance, is to
be sentenced to state prison,
About Is or 20 years ago, a man named
Kelley was workman in this
city and helped load and unload cars of
the Grand Trunk railway. One night,
after he had been drinking, he desired
to get into one of the bonded cars to see
about some freight, or something like
that. He ought to have gone to the office
and got permission to break the bonded
seal, but he didn't. He was reckless and
forced open the car with crowbar. The
next morning, realizing what he had
done, and that his folly would receive no
mercy, he packed up his goods, drove to
Yarmouth, took the train for Canada and
has been there ever since. He has been
heard from by relations, but that foolish
act with the crowbar, the resultof liquor,
made him an outcast from his country.
