FASHION NOTES.
Fall Stuff and the. Colors of 'Em

-- "s"" tS'A~ eAAo SOAOA0 OI EIns
 A new sort of satin damask that promises to be much used for ball dresses seems to be combination of pink and mauve brocaded with wavy lines in pink, silver and pale blue. White dashes show here and there like white crested waves. A novel satin has recently been offered which perfectly initiates mirror velvet. being woven very firmly with light flashes showing through it. Even newer is mirror sat- in with the 'scanty finish on both sides, one side being heavy yellow, the other shot with orange, yellow and green.
 Some very startling combinations of colors are shown in some of these new stuffs, but these are rare and are likely to continue 50. More artistic and rest ful combinations are gray trimmed with corn color and Jet fawn with bule, brownish yellow with primrose leaf green, heliotrope with black and white, mauve. with corn color and white, and biscuit color with green shaded velvet.

fl MASyACHUSETTS INDIAN.

If anybody knows what a Massachu- setts Indian ought to look like let him say so. The representation of the In- | dian which is to figure on the new coat of arms of Massachusetts is giving the l authorities in charge of the work d good deal of trouble. The Indian, iii order to preserve historical accuracy, must be of the type that was still to be found in Massachusetts in 17sO. An Algonquin is preferred, but as dt, will be difficult to find an Indian who is representative in face and figure of that tribe, an ideal drawing will be made from pictures in the Catlln gallery of the National museum at Washington. Colonel William L. Olin the secretary of state, thinks that he has discovered in the gallery a face of the true Algon- quin type which will serve for the state symbol, but there are certain details of dress and equipment which are in dispute among authorities on the sub- ject, and these have to be determined before the artist can proceed with his work. Ought the Indian to wear leg gings? Major J. W. Powell of Wash ingtoa, an authority on the dress of Indians, answers in the affirmative while Major Whittmore of Boston holds the contrary view. Ought the Massa- chusetts Indian to be shown bare headed as on the present seal or to wear head-dress of feathers? Major Powell says he should be represented with three feathers on the crown of the head, and this suggestion will prob- ably be followed. Ought the red man to have his hair braided, as seen in some Indian prints? The better opinion seems to be that his raven locks should flow over his shoulders. And finally the question of the Indians dress comes up. During the summer he wore only a breech-clout, while in winter he had a hunting-shirt. leggings. and mocassins.
 Major Powell says that the hunting coat was made of four skins of wild. cats, or of two skins of partners or
 wolverines.

Elmira's Wonderful Drum Major.

From the Washington Evening star.J
 A passing drum major inspired Henry White of Schenectady to reminiscence yesterday:
 That fellow is pretty agile" said MT. White, "but there was a lad up in Buffalo a couple of years ago who was the most remarkable individual that ever walked ahead of a band. The occasion was a procession of the Hiber- nians, and there was band in line from Elmira. It possessed and gloried in the drum major speak of. The man was simply marvel. He would send his baton sailing high in the air and revolving like an electric fan, and while It was soaring above him he would turn back hand-springs, somersaults, and perform any. number of athletic feats. being always ready when the staff came down to catch an send It dexterously, aloft! again. For a month after that parade all the boys In Buffalo were hurling broomsticks up in the air and falling all over them

The Prudent Man.

A maiden there was of old Who published far and wide That only the wisest. most prudent man Should have her for his bride. And many there came to try, With problem and task galore She puzzled their wits, and having failed Then showed them to the door. Their love was but jest. No matter how forlorn Or sad their pleas, she laughed at them And turned them into scorn. At length one youth appeared, Wise, handsome, courtly. gr'nd- He filled the bill. Most prudent, you May take my heart and hand" Mot much" was his reply. '" ; You } it wouldn't do. ?. -1"~. e If I'm of men most prudent, why, How could marry you?"

The gen. tleman is a smart politician and knows how to secure votes. or at all events he has been successful at the polls. However, on one occasion the promi- nent gentleman admits to having met a smarter man. The latter approached him on election day with the state ment that if he had some whiskey he could vote a man for him. The candi- date gave up half dollar in compli- ance. Later in the day, meeting the smarter man again, the candidate greeted him with:
 Well. suppose you voted your man."
 "No." came the response, "the other fellow had a quart of whiskey and voted me-"

A pretty story is told of the veteran chess player, Herr Steinitz, who has just been beaten by Emmanuel Lasker fin a contest for the chess champion ship of the world. There came a mo- ment in the final match in which Stein- itz, whose capacity for looking ahead has always been phenomenal, realized that his youthful rival must beat him. Whereupon without going through the rormality of withdrawing from the con- test, the veteran simply rose to his feet and shouted energetically: Long live the new champion!"

 According to the recent investigation, forgery has been practiced to a large extent on the stamp of the university at Bologna. It has many times been affixed to diplomas which were never granted. The chief culprit is a tailor, who applied himself to producing fac similes of the diploma of the Mother of Universities" and with such success as to have established something like a clientele among academic aspirants of more ambition than honesty. He is now in the prison of San Giovanni in Monte, and at least three of his grad uates are at present wanted by the po- lice.
 Professor Swing of Chicago points out that there is less hostility between cap- ital and labor than between labor and labor Carpenters object to large bills from the tailor and blacksmiths kick at plumbers bills, while laborers of all kinds refuse to pay high prices for farm products. Every man wants to earn all he can by his own labor and to pay as little as possible for the labor of others. This provokes hostility be- tween labor and capital, and here, says Professor Swing, comes in the appllca- tion of the Christian principle of doing ns you would be done by.
 The catalogue of books in the British Museum, to be completed in 1900, will consist of 600 large volumes of printed matter. substituting more than 5000 folio volumes in manuscript, in which form the tremendous array of titles has hitherto been kept, expanding steadily since the first one in 17s7, which consisted of two folio volumes. The completed index will be library in itself, exceeding in volume the Buddhist Canon, the most tremendous codex known, or anything else of like sort in existence. In 1900 it is computed that the library will contain in round num- bers 100000 books, the number now exceeding l,750.0O0.
 A year ago Agnes White of Bangor, Maine, bought folding bed which was warranted to be safe, well made, and of good material. Soon after, it col lapsed while in use, but no one was much hurt. The sellers repaired 1t and gave new guarantee. Before long the bed shut up again. This time it caught its occupant, Frank White, and broke his spine. Now Mrs. White sues the seller for 5000 damages, this being the sum she says she had to pay the injured man, who is her brother, The defence is to be that the warrant is good to the buyer, but not to a third party.
