Muslin skirts and other underwear are

Many wealthy women inclined to
plumpness buy the plainest undercloth-
ing to be found in order to avoid the
fluff and fullness that would be caused
by trimming. Hand embroidered French
goods of extremely plain cut may be OBJ
tanned at moderate price and are often
worn by large women who prefer some
sort Of decoration to a perfectly plain
finish.
Some OF the new articles of neckwear
are really charming in effect. One lately
seen consisted of a finely jetted round
yoke with a standing collar and black
gauze The lower edge of the yoke was
cut in several large points and bordered
with a full double frill Of the satin
striped gauze, very finely plated. Black
mousseline de sole. crepe de chine and
other thin black goods are much en-
ployed for these becoming adjuncts and
are often combined with tinted or white
lace.
A sketch is given of a vest of gold
colored satin trimmed with black gui-
pure. The upper part is plated into the
standing collar, and the material is so
shaped as to fall in coquilles. The lower
part is confined by corselet pieces of
guipure The middle OF the front and the
collar are trimmed with narrow guipure.

Skirts with separate Innings have re-

If you have two children, one robust
and strong and the other delicate and
sickly, never let them sleep together.
The stronger child will draw from the
strength Of the more delicate and the
effect would be disastrous. Neither

STEAMER MACKTNAw.

The Disabled Vessel Towed to Her
Berth at Oakland.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1l.-The disabled
steamer Mackinaw, which was recently
rescued by Spreckels' tug Relief off the
the mouth of the Columbia River, and
afterward taken in tow by the tug Fear
less, arrived in port AT o'clock this
morning, and was Immediately towed
over to her berth at the Oakland wharf to
unload. Captain Dan Haskell reports
that he had some trouble in towing the
Mackinaw down the coast, as she would
not steer well. The tug and her tow ar
rived off the Heads last night about 9
o'clock, but Captain Haskell decided to
remain outside until this morning.
Spreckels Bros, it is understood, viii
claim salvage on the steamer, and if they
are successful in their claim they will re-
ceive about $4,000. The towboat COM
pany declares that it was in the hope of
capturing few prizes like the Macki-
nav, ana not the prospect of making
anything out Of the ordinary towing
business, that prompted 1t to send the
Relief north. Since the Relief went to
Astoria few weeks ago the insurance on
vessels destined to that port has been re-
duced one-eighth of one per cent.

Instead of opening the door, therefore,
he looked out of the window at the top of
it, and seeing one of the robbers stand
ing close to the car just in the rear of the
door, blazed away through the door, hop
ing to get his man, and Immediately shot
again.
The robber, however, stood so close to
the side of the car that the thick boards
of the door prevented the shots from
hitting him. A shot was returned by one
of the robbers, which barely missed the
head of Paige, breaking the sash and glass

Within a few minutes after the news
of the hold-up was received Superinten-
dent Wright was at his Office giving in
structions to the officers who were to start
out after the robbers. All the detectives
and special officers in the company's en-
ploy were promptly summoned, and
after obtaining such clews as were possi-
bles, set ont to hunt for the highwaymen.
Among those on the train at the time
of the robbery was H. j. Small, Superin-
tendent of Motive Power and Machinery
for the railroad company, but like the
other passengers, he didn't know what
was going on until the robbers had
nearly completed their work.
John Mackey, Superintendent of the
Rancho del Paso. was also on the train.
A tramp who was riding on the tender
came near being killed by one of the
robbers, who had his rifle pointed at him
and was about to shoot, when the tramp
begged for his life. They spared him,
but made him leave the locomotive.
The supposition is that the robbers
were picked up by confederates and
driven from the spot where they left the
engine.
