An Earthquake In California
Badly Scares the In
f@@z .35- habitants.
81; sw Il INTO THE STREETS.
Clocks Stop, Walls Crack and
Schools Are Hastily
Dismissed.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Oct. 24.-This city
and neighboring towns were visited
during the afternoon BY series Of
earthquakes Of more than ordinary
severity. The first shock occurred at
S:O3 p. m. and was followed at inter-
walls of quarter of q minute by two
others, the last being one of the strong
est experienced here since the coming
Of Americans. People in brick houses
swarmed into the streets, hearing the
startling grind of brick and mortar and
seeing in some cases the walls crack. A
heavy sound was heard in all parts OF
the city Immediately preceding the
quake. Considerable CONSERVATION was
caused in the public schools, the chill
dren in some of the rooms being hastily
dismissed.
Clocks Were stopped
and windows and doors were shaken.
The second shock was observed by few
people, being very light and coming
when all were talking Of the first, but
the third was so pronounced as to bring
the people into the streets without de-
lay.
Telephone messages from Coronado,
Upper Otay dam, Campo, National
City and other places showed that the
quake was felt about equally at all sur
rounding places. Loose rocks were
shaken from the nillsides and ratified
down the canons, and a heavy groan
and booming noise accompanied the
tremors. The weather observer re-
ported another slight shock at 4:!5, not
SO strong as the first ones. but quite
perceptible. It was not felt on the
ground. The waves came from east to
west in all instances. So far as known
no damage was done.
Los ANGELES, CAL, Oct. 24.--A slight
earthquake shock was felt on the streets
here at 800 p. III.

troduce drapery, and from all one can
hear and see the plain skirt will be good
style during the coming season. Many
of the new skirts are not lined through,
but have some stiff material at the
bottom. They are cut to clear the ground
and have outside pockets placed on the
skirt and piped around Hats grow more
fanciful. Never were ornaments in mil
linery so gorgeous nor flowers more
abundant.
Striking effects produced by contrasts
in color is a predominant feature in
some of the newest importations. It
seems hardly probable that these con-
trasts are of nature to please in way
sufficiently lasting to become truly fash
ionable Can the eye be sufficiently
misled to ever tolerate white taffeta
skirt, with it tobacco brown bodice
over q straw colored vest, and to this
roomy tobacco balloon sleeves? And yet
this is description of an autumn dress.
While on the subject of colors it may
be said that beige and brown are an oft
recurring color; that yellow, rose, blue,
tan, suede and drab are very general;
also water green for ground color. or
all the colors preferred for the trimming
of knickknacks and for accessory addi'
lions that convey smartness there are
three shades IF yellow, which are parched
wheat, straw and golden yellow border
ing on Indian corn. These mix admira-
bly, with poppy red, with blue. cream
For evening wear dotted laces over
silk or satin furnish q popular style.
Alpaca for travelling dresses is very
much in vogue. Such dresses are made
very plainly, the skirt having a deep
hem and several rows Of stitching. They
are made Of all shades-black, beige
and carmalite. Waists and sleeves are
SO elaborate that it seems as if the whole
attention and time Of the modiste were
taken up in their arrangement. The rage
for tulle for cravats and jabots is extern
sive, and the colors are most brilliant.
The bolero jacket still continues the
fashion, and checks and stripes, both
small and large, are tremendously fash
ionable. It is whispered that Irish pop
Inns are to be in vogue. ia ,s' .. 49,
An effective and novel garment for
travellers is the new long coat. The cut
is almost entirely new, though some
thing after the style Of a mans new
market coat. The fore parts and back
are all cut in one piece, and the Tapped
seams, coming just below the waist
give the appearance of long back. The
skirt part is split up behind, and the
loose fronts are double breasted, fasten-
ing with pearl buttons of abnormal size.
The material is in nondescript though
charming shade Of gray covert coating,
with large coat collar and cuffs Of
gray velvet and two useful pockets
Last, but not least, comes gorgeous
lining of silk.
