year l. in curious cashmere designs, and
there are some new lawns and dimity
cords, with patterns printed upon them in
faded colors The effect is very pretty.
One new organdie frock had four printed
flOunces, each headed by IA puff. 1t is said
that there will be many ilounces and many
draped skirts for early fall | notice that
many of the made up imported gowns
have the whole skirt laid in flat or box
plaits, and in these plaits at the top are
gathers, so as to distVbute the fullneSs
more equally. Some have one or two pan
els of different material or contrasting
color This last plan is productive of
some happy effects.
There was one handsome suit in this
style worthy of reproduction, and it is a
model that is suitable for almost any
goods, though plain surfaced material
gives the best appearance The original
was of light biscuit colored cloth, the front
breadth laid smooth, but ali the Others
were plated in rather close folds. The
corSagc was smooth and seamless and clos
ed in front invisibly, though there were
two rows of small gold buttons. There
were two lengthwise puffs of white cloth
starting from the neck, where they We're
held in closely by gold buckles They were
| then left To take natural folds To the waist
| line where they We're gathered in by two
more buckles, and from there they spread
out to the foot of the skirt smoothly like IL
! box plait. There was "A folded stock col
| lar of the material of the gown and "A puff
ed belt across the front. The sleeves had
quaint gauntlet shaped cuffs reaching up
ward from the elbows The lower portion
of the sleeves was of the biscuit cloth
Another instance of a full plated skirt
may not seem amiss particularly as wom-
en- are growing very tired of the godet
skirt, which locks 50 well when first made
and so dreadful after couple of wearings
All the way around the skirt was laid in
box plaits at the top, and these were each
"held in" until the whole fitted the belt.
The folds were allowed to fall naturally
the rest of the way. This gown was of
lavender mohair with a rich silky luster.
On the skirt and on the waist and sleeves
there was ecru lace trimming. The waist
was blouse plated, and there was "A cherry
velvet belt. The lace on the skirt and
sleeves can be purchased by the yard, and
that ON the shoulders and down the plaits
comes in sets. Around the neck was a
plated chiffon ruille This gown was
copied in black, blue gray and brown mo-

quainted with the French prince imperial,
who was attached to the royal artillery,
and remained his intimate friend until
the assagai of IA Zulu warrior ended the
young princes promising career In 1880
Biggc became II captain, and promotion fol
lowed at regular intervals until 1898, when
he became lieutenant colonel
In 1880, too, Bigge became groom in
waiting to the queen, and seven months
later his tact, courtesy, education and fine
military bearing led to his being appointed
assistant private secretary to her majesty

Sir Arthur Bigge's predecessor as private
secretary Sir Henry Ponsonby, has been
in harness for quarter of century. and
the Hrduous duties Of his high office at last
SO completely undermined his health that
he was compelled to resign. He probably
knows more about the royal family and its
| jealOusics, unplcasantnesses and even scan
dals than any other person ON earth, the
queen excepted.
The post of private secretary to Queen
Victoria is one that calls for the patience
of job, the courtesy of Chesterfield, the
diplomacy of a statesman and the endur.
ance of draft horse. He conducts the
| queens private and public correspondence
attends to all her business, acts as inter
mcdiary between the queen and the states
men of whatever political party happen,
to be in power tells her everything she de
sires to know about state and private bust
ness, advises her when she seeks counsc
and is almost constantly at her beck anC
call. He often labors from 9 o'clock il
the morning until midnight, and is with
out doubt one of the hardest worked pub
lie men in the United Kingdom.
His duties range from the sublime tC
the ridiculous. One hour he may be en-
gagged in intricate negotiations concern
ing some great affair of state with Glad
stone, IA Salisbury or "a Rosebcry, and tn,
next he may be called upon to write an au
tograph letter in the queen namo for tn,
purpose of sending the customary roya
gift Of 3 guincas to some poor woman whC
has presented a grateful nation with trip
lets. Before nc does it, too, he must as

Colorado The picturesque scenes the
young wife was thus made familiar with
and the rough, wild and ofttimes lawless
life that was daily before her eyes greatly
stimulated her artistic productiveness and
awakened her hitherto dormant literary
talents.
Her excellent pictures of western life
have since become familiar to all magazine
readers and her stories have won for her
very crcditable place in American peri
Odical literature. About lIer first publish
ed literary work were letters describing a
mining town, and they were so bright and
readable that they We're published in book
form, with the title "A California Mining
Town" One of the charms of the book,
too was the authors illustrating.
Encouraged by her success, she turned
her attention to fiction, and her first nov
el, "rhe Led Horse Claim, is IA very
strong and fascinating story of Colorado
mining life. 1t was published in The
Century Magazine and made its author as
well known in the literary field as she was
i'm the world of art She has since written
four other novels the last of which,
Occur d Alene, ably wrostles with that
difficult subject, the labor problem Like
Bret Harto Mrs. Foote has made the west
her literary field, but Hartes west is the
west of the forty-niner, and Mrs. Foote'
west is the west of today.

THE MORNING APPEAL.
UNDERMINED METHODS.

The gold men Of the East must re-
gard the coming campaign as some
thing of a very desperate nature from
the fact that they are already begin
ming Communicative the baldest kind
Of campaign lies. 4 few days ago
they reported that Congressman New
lands had positively abandoned the
silver fight and that Senator Vest had
also done the same. Relative to this
statement Mr.. Newlands made the fol-
lowing statement to a press reporter:
The trouble is that the newspaper
man who wrote up that interview
stated one part Of my proposition and
omitted the remainder. | said that if
good times should come, the silver is
sue would be dead, but good times
will not come until we shall attain the
free coinage Of silver. The reporter
left out the latter part of my statement
and what he has quoted me as saying
does Ele a great injustice, as nothing
of the sort was intended.
II am just as strong a silver man
us ever, and believe that its free coin:
would bring a return Of prosper
ity to the country. [ hope it will con-
tinue to keep up, for | am satisfied
that we shall not have a permanent
return Of good times until the free
coinage eff silver is accomplished
Senator Vest also repudiates the pre-
tended interview as follows:
The alleged conversation never oc-
Cured. 1 have not left the ranks of
the free coinage advocates, and my
adherence to the principles l have al
ways advocated is unchanged, not
withstanding the unauthorized report
to the contrary. I firmly believe in
the full and unlimited use Of silver as
against the single gold standard. l
wish it distinctly understood that |
have not in the least departed from
my principles on the silver question,
and, really, [ am at a loss to know
how it was that I came t. be misrepre-
sented."
We trust our Republican contempt
raries will give as much prominence
to the above as they did to the lies
they took such pleasure in assisting
TO circulate regarding both Newlands
and Vest.

Generous and Honest.

Supt. Lyman, when in Reno the
other evening. said to an officer of the
Agricultural Society: IF you should
happen to be short on the State Fair,
draw on me for $780, 1t will be re-
membered that the same gentleman
subscribed 800 to the Midwinter Fair
and when reimbursed the amount do
mated it in full to the State University
gymnasium fund.
In this connection it may also be
we'll to state that Mr.. Lyman has been
fully exonerated of all the charges
made against him in connection with
the Con. Virginia mine. A man who
is both generous and honest is a
pretty fair, all round man.

Honest Men Left.

The removal Of the mint would not
only effect Carson, but this entire sec
ton. This reminds us of the Boston
port bill when the entire city of Boston
was punished for the acts of a few Of
its citizens in throwing the tea over
board. And now it seems that all this
section of country is to be punished
on account of a few thieves stealing
Uncle Sans bullion. Carson has I'M
doubtedly enough honest people left
yet to run the mint, and if not, would
it not be cheaper to bring some Of the
honest D%enverites to Carson rather
than 60 to the expense OF moving the
mint?-Bodie Miner.

KING N

The Durrant case has reached ii
turn in the road where others than
Durrant are liable to get mixed up in
the killing Of Blanche Lamont. King
the organist has changed his testi-
mony and is now trying to assist the
defense. He and Durrant both had
private keys to the church and both
we're ladies men" and liked to have it
known that they were irresistible to
women. They probably used the
church for designation purposes, and
had been hunting their game in
couples.
King may possibly be an accessory
after the facts of the killing of Miss
Lamont, and is anxious to have Dur
rant acquitted that the latter after
conviction may not implicate him.
That he knows much more than he
has told is quite evident.
There is plenty of money behind
the defense and the money comes from
people who have been mixed up in
Emmanuel church scandals and these
scandals must be hushed up at any
cost. If the money from the defense
comes in thick and fast enough Dur
rant will keep his lips sealed; if con-
victed he will confess and implicate
others.

Excitement in the Afternoon.
This move was precipitated by the al
legged action of the militia when, between
and o'clock in the afternoon, a company
Of the seventh regiment surrounded hall
at Myrtle and Palmetto streets, which was
entered by the soldiers. who seized all books
and papers Of the local assembly, who oc-
cupied the place as a meeting room. The
militia was finally Withdrawn and the po-
lice took possession Of the hail. Both the
militia and the police deny this.
Col. Appleton said later that he had re-
ceiyed a report from Maj. Abrams, COM
manding the detachment of the seventh
regiment troops, stating that a crowd of
men were locked in Odd Fellows Hall on
Palmetto street near Myrtle avenue during
the entire time the cars were running on
Gates avenue this afternoon under the pro-
lection of the militia The police turned
the key of all the doors in the hall. None
of the soldiers entered. no DOCKS or papers
were touched by them.
Mai Abrams was called on for his state
rnent and he said: Il most emphatcally
deny that any soldier entered Odd Fellows
Hail. AS matter OF precaution, order
cd the doors locked before the first car
started and kept them locked until the
last car returned and was secure in the
depot. No papers, books or any other prop
ertv was touched by my men, and as soon
az the pickets were withdrawn the men
who had been boxed up were again at lib
ertv to 60 in or out as they pleased. There
ia positively no foundation whatever for
the sensational story given publicity by

Some Daily Perils.
All through the country districts one
will see the men wearing what appears to
be long, straight swords, in leathern scab-
bards. These are machetas. or the knives
used in cutting sugar cane and FODDER.
They are, in fact, dangerous weapons, and
worn for purposes of defense and offense,
as we'll as for use in the field. The coun-
tryrnan never goes abroad without his
macheta.
When I visited a sugar plantation near
Genfuegos the proprietor showed me over
the estate and through the sugar mill.
When we left the house to go to the mill
two men armed with rifles followed US at
distance of about ten PAGES, and remained
with us as a body guard during eli the
time we were away from the house.
This is a custom followed. l am told.
everywhere on the island The proprietors
or forenen have a guard with them when
they go abroad over their estates. l was
told that there is always danger of attack
from bandits or discontinued men. Several
cases are reported as occurring In recent
years where wealthy men have been CAP
tured and held for ransom.
There may be no more danger OF being
robbed in the streets Of Havana than in
any other large city, but the robberies
committed here are done in way to chill
the blood I was cautioned, If I walked

suspicious looking men, one OF them going

shall turn and confront the intended VIC

same instant the one behind comes up with
a similar knife. The movement is made
quickly, and the victim of 1t is helpless.
Robbers of this kind take all the valuables
