RED PREVAILS.

The prevailing color for the autumn
is red 1t not only crops up in every
bonnet, but in decoration as well, and
if rightly used is an excellent thing.
In quantity it is apt to become ag-
gressive. Too much is worse than
none, but in bits it is delightful and
conveys comforting sense OF
warmth, while just now, VIXEN
we are getting occasional fore
tastes of frost, it seems peculiar ly
good. Certainly the dealers have
been wise enough to recognize the fact
bright glimpses of the color which be,
speakes an ability to defy Jack frost
As has frequently been mentioned in
these notes. the window decorators
are many of them artists in their way,
and study of their methods might
lead to many good results.

Il VALUABLE PLAYTHlNG,

Miss Olive Schreiner, who was
brought up in South Africa, says that
she and her brothers and sisters had,
as one of their playthings, a bright
stone that they called the candle-stone
1t was about the size of a walnut, and
would flash in bright and singular
way when held up to the light. Not
until the children had grown up
and the candle-stone had been lost for
years, did any of them realize that it
was diamond of immense value
The Kimberly mines were in the I'M
known future; but this stone had per-
haps been washed down by some tor
rent, or brought by chance from that
region.

MILES WILL NOT RETRACT.
Grand Jury to he Asked to Indict
the Millionaire for Perjury.

The case of William Miles, the aged
Brooklyn millionaire, who Is charged
with perjury by his nephew. William $.
Hurley, of IS Wallabout Market, Brook
Ign, will be brought before the present
Grand Jury.
The last Grand Jury was asked to
take no action in the matter pending an
amicable settlement Of the case between
Miles and Hurley and the Assistant Dis
trict-Attorney held the case over under
these representations.
The action grew out OF a suit tried in
May, 1890. before Judge Barrett in the
Supreme Court, in which Hurley alleges
that his uncle committed perjury. Since
that time Miles is alleged to have made
many disparaging remarks about Hur-
ley's father, and hence the bringing up
of the perjury complaint.
The basis of settlement was to be a
sworn retraction on the part of Miles
of all the remarks about Hur.ey's father,
which it Is said the former promised to
comply with.
Mr.. Hurley visited Assistan District
Attorney Davis this morning and stated
that Miles had refused to make the re-
traction. and that he UIurley) wished
the case pushed.

has sprung up recently among the res
idents of Brownsville. Under the law
the poundkeeper pays 81 each for all
goats brought to him.
These goats are redeemed by the own
ers at IS each. II they are not redeemed
within a given time they are sold at
auction to the highest bidder. There
are a number Of people in Brownsville
who own goats. The scheme is to have
a neighbor take the goat to the pound
and collect 81. Then when the nanny
is put up at auction the owner buys 1t
back for Is or rs cents, and makes a
profit of the difference.
The poundkeeper says everybody IN
that part Of the city is In the goat traffic
now, and he hasn't sufficient money to

I thing, he said, to have the same goat
brought in two or three times a week
