An event equally sensational among
Western colleges to the defeat of Prince
ton by Pennsylvania In the East two
weeks ago was Michigan's victory Satur-
day ut Detroit over Cornell. The score
was IL to 4, and 1t will be pretty hard for
Cornell to squirm out of II by any man
ner of excuses. In fact, Michigan clearly
outplayed the Ithacans. and astonished
the Western football world outside of
Ann Arbor, where confidence in the
team has been unwavering from the mo-
ment the husky collegians began their
practice work. The result of this game
puts Michigan fairly in front of brilliant
Wisconsin, Judging by what on the race
tracks is called "class." But It does not
entitle the Ann Arbor boys in fairness to
consider themselves the Western cham
pions, for the lads Mt Madison have ap-
parently won that title in too many hard
games to allow Michigan to wrest 1t
from them simply on the score of one
great victory. Wisconsin and Ann Ar
Dor should now by all means meet, II
1t be possible, and settle the question of SUI
premacy. 1t would be the Yale-Prince-
ton event of the West.

Young Lochinvar may have been all
right in his day, but he would not
amount to much now. He was too the
atrical in his love affair. They do such
things more quietly and in better taste
in these days. A Rhode Island man
ran away with another mans bride u
few days ago. but he did not make any
such fuss about 1t as Lochinvar did.
He did not ask the bride to kiss any
goblets and he did not yank her
onto horse, well knowing that at best
that would be an ungraceful proceed
ing. That is not the way with modern
Lochinvars, such as Willie Wilcox, Of
Rhode Island, proved himself to be-
Willie simply put on evening dress and
went to the wedding of Miss Mollie
Baker to Addison r. Smith. When he
got an opportunity he whispered to the
bride to meet him back of the old tan
merry or some other equally convenient
place, and then strolled away. There
was no fuss, nothing theatrical about
it. Everything was done quietly and
In order. She slipped ont Of the back
door, met Willie and they went away
together. Later they sent note to the
groom wishing him health and pros
perity and telling him not to worry
about his bride. Such is young Lochin-
var up to date.

effects are produced by this fashion.
An example Of 1t is portrayed by the
fourth picture, wherein Is depicted a
waist has full front gathered at the
neck and belt, and black velvet collar,
belt and shoulder knots. 1t Is COM
pleted by accordion-pleated epaulettes
and basque of black mousseline de
sole. The plain skirt is pleated in back.
With this Is sketched q hat that Is de-
signed to accompany the dress, with
which It Is in tasteful accord. There
Is a low crown of black wings, the
edges toward the outside, and the gar
niture consists of knots Of pale-blue
velvet back and front, two upright
wings, and fancy black aigrette.
Spanish hats are much worn, even by
very staid-looking folks, but the latter
type Is not at her best with torredo
hat aslant her head, and cooked out Of
line by row of brilliant roses or a fold
of velvet set next her hair on one side.
The young and pretty girl looks, per-
haps, little bit too dashing In the same
style, but that Is not now deemed OBJ
jectionable. One trick that is especial
ly expressive Of challenge Is that Of
wearing the hat-whose brim upturns,
anyhow-well back upon the forehead.
The next and final picture shows one
Of this sort. In this instance 1t consists
of wire shape covered with blue vel
vet, and trimmed In front with ostrich
plumes and an aigrette.
Besides this hat, the picture shows n
simple and natty blue serge gown. In
1t an entirely plain skirt is topped by a
blouse waist that fastens at the side,
and is ornamented on the left shoulder
with three satin knots. Similar knots
are used to drape the sleeves, and also
appear on the folded satin belt The
folded collar has larger rosette In
back.

The Indian is really becoming civil
lied. According to a dispatch from
Nashville. Neb., Red Horse, a we'll
known Pine Ridge Indian policeman,
was killed in tepee at the camping
grounds north Of the tracks. Plenty
Bird dubbed him to death because he
interfered In row between him and
his son, Fast Thunder. Plenty Bird Is
In jail. This has a real civilized ring
to 1t. The man who interferes In a
family row always gets the worst of it,
and the circumstances In this instance
were such that it might have happened
In Chicago or New York or even Bos-

idly learning the ways of the white
man. and there need be no fear for his
future.

To Clinch the Endowment.

There Is weekly auction of linen
goods in Belfast at which nothing is
ever sold. About two hundred years
ago there were two halls for selling
linen In Belfast, the White Linen Hall
and the Brown Linen Hall. In the for
mer all bleached linen was sold, while
the latter was exclusively reserved for
the sale Of brown or unbleached goods.
Nearly century ago linen manufact-
urer in Belfast endowed the latter in
stitution, and the deed Of endowment
contained a clause to the effect that a
market should be held In the hall every
Friday. Linen, however, began to be
disposed Of i'm other ways and the halls
were no longer useful. The White
Linen Hall was made into public of
fees, but the Brown Linen Hall still re-
mains to fulfill its original functions.
Every Friday morning Mr.. McNicholl,
an old man, opens the doors, takes his
stand In the middle Of the hall and puts
a single bale of unbleached linen up
to auction. 1t is always the same old
man and the same old bale. Nobody
ever comes to buy 1t because few peo-
pie are aware Of this remarkable Gus
tom

7,425, 600 trout eggs, and expects to get
1900, 900 more before the season is over.
From the fish kept at the hatchery for the
purpose 100000 more have been taken,
making in all about 10000, 900 to be cared
for at this hatchery. THIS will beat the
largest year in the history of the North

Worthwhile station is the chief trout egg
distributing point of the United States,

already been distributed. About twenty
carloads of the young fry will be distrib-
uted in the early spring.

There is a shocking suggestion of
barbarism in the differences to be
drawn from Gov. Flowers assent to
the proposition that at the next cleo
trical execution In New York an effort
shall be made to resuscitate the victim.
When the State of New York, against
the best counsel of conservative OBJ
servers and of many electricians, de-
cided to adopt electricity in the fulfill
ment Of the death penalty, it was con-
tended that until the efficacy Of the
means for putting 1t into practice was
known beyond peradventure the exper-
iment should be postponed. The bung-
ling manner In which the first execu-
lions under the new law were accom-
plished showed at the time to what ex-
tent the advice deserved credence. Now,
George Westinghouse, Nicola Tesla and
other eminent electricians having come
forward with strong assertions that
the condition produced by the shocks
of the electric chair Is not death, an at
tempt Is to be made to bring the next
criminal executed" back to life. 1t is
not probable that any life will be found
in man who has been subjected to
such shock, although there is some
reason to doubt whether the operation
is painless, as 1t has been alleged to be.
But in the idea that the culprit may be
revived there is a CHASTITY suggestion
as to the fate Of the criminals already
executed. No doubt the test should be
made. But the mere fact that there Is
reason for making 1t reflects upon the
State Of New York as having ventured
upon peculiarly dangerous expert
ment without the absolute assurance
that the experiment would succeed.

Blunt and Bold.

When Cromwell was boy he fell into
a river, and was saved from drowning
by a clergyman. Years after, when
the lord protector asked the clergy
man II he remembered the incident, he
received the blunt answer:
Eyes, do; but wish had put you
in rather than see you in arms against
your king"
Old books have story of Cromwell
and his uncle-a gallant old knight and
stanch royalist who fought Loyalty for
his king throughout the wars, aided by
his two sons.
Oliver had regard for his uncle, and
went to visit him during the stormy
period. The castle was full Of arms
and ammunition raised for King
Charles. The old knight received his
nephew coldly, but Oliver treated him
with Difference, remained with uncov-
cred head through the two hours of his
visit, and besought his uncle's blessing.
Having at last received 1t, he then
quietly seized the arms, ammunition
and plate for the public service.
OLA years dlIeT, WueH Tuiu udu ONeT-
taken every royalist Oliver obtained
his forfeited estates for his uncle, and
the old man resided upon them until his
death.
Neither bluntness nor the boldness
which often went with it were confined
to the Puritan ranks, and probably no
more sincerely pious and earnest aspi-
ration ever went up from Cromwell's
praying soldiery than the quaint prayer
of old Sir Jacob Ashley, a cavalier:
30 Lord, Thou knowest how busy
must be this day. If forget Thee, do
not Thou forget mew Then rising from
his knees, March on, boysT he shouted.
This same knight, being defeated and
made captive, surrendered himself with
the scornful remark:
swell, you have now done your work,
and may go to play-unless you will fall
out among yourselves. Com
panion.

Ing isn't obtainable then almost any
sort of oddity will do as well, only,
as has been explained, neck accessories
are more abundant. Turn to the mi
tial illustration for a good substitute.
The novelty here Is in the vest, which
Is of the skirt material-dotted velvet
and over the bust spreads in two
small but conspicuous revers. The rest
of the bodice Is of brocaded satin; it
is worn inside the skirt, and its jacket
fronts are ornamented with huge pearl
buttons.
Now and then bodice is seen whose
ornamentation Is so elaborate and on so
grand a scale that it seems necessary to
have its pattern extend on to the skirt
below, otherwise the full effect Of the
design cannot be expressed. So con-
trived Is the bodice of the second
sketch. Here the materials are ANA
zon cloth and liberty velvet, the bodice
being plain in back and coming inside
the skirt. Its cloth front Is pleated, and
the velvet yoke showily appliqued.
Bows Of ribbon set off the collar, front,
and waist, and the applique design of
the yoke appears on the sleeve cuffs,
and is repeated in magnified form on
the skirt below. The sleeve puffs are
from the cloth. But for the applique,
the cloth skirt is entirely plain, and
the whole is very handsome gown.
1t could be made even more rich by
making the sleeves entirely Of velvet.
In the fur-trimmed example that the
artist presents here, the pelt is not only
used to ornament the bodice, but ex-
tends over the skirt from waist nearly
to hem, the strips meeting and imita-
ting a long, sharp-pointed overskirt.

Fate of an Importation Into Great

dainty which she had heard so extrava-
gantiy praised. Carefully packed in

brought on the table done to death and
stuffed with onions, sage and potatoes,
while my father-in-law, carefully cary
ing up the entire bird, legs, wings and
all, distributed the portions to party
Of six! And the climax was reached
when, after enduring disappointment
and disappearing looks on the part of
the guests, my belle mere remarked: Il
must say Margaret, that rather pre-
fer our English duckling to your can
vasbacks.' l could not tell her that 1t
was the atrocious cooking and stupid
carving that had destroyed the chief Of
all game birds. However, the ducks
were there and had to be disposed Of,
and the next day had the pleasure Of
eating a pair of my canvasbacks en-
salmi, while the others were actually
ended up in pie! 1t is needless to re-

American dainties to British palates."
