THE STAMP OF Y

Narrow fri!ls of embroidery set in plain
rows at the hem, also in designs sinlulat-
ing ovcrskirts, are popular.
Bands of galloon or ribbon edged on
either side with lace about a finger wide
are the trimming seen ON a house dress OF
striped silk.
Among new capes there are those that
suggest sheds, so square and uncompro-
missing are their edges as they project over
the shoulders.
A natty and becoming hat has a narrow
brim turned up all around the edge and
bound with velvet. Birds with pointed
wings and a cluster of velvet are used for
the trimming.
A new model Of a waist has draped Sec
tions very wide under the arms and cross
ing up over the back, growing narrower at
the shoulders. This trimming suggests
an ordinary surplice waist put on wrong
side up.
A stylish cape has a square yoke witt
collar in sailor fashion, very broad at the
shoulders and across the back and run
ming to points in front. A band of plush
about four inches wide is the trimming o
this garment.
A cloth cape with a perfectly plain yok'
extending to the shoulder points has th'
remainder Of the material gathered il
very full. Where the cape portion join
the yoke is a band of fur about thre
inches wide. The standing collar is edge
with fur to match.
A new waist trimming is made of sill
put on from either side, then shirred yer
full down the middle of the front. Th
effect is that of a huge puff in front c
either shoulder and extending to the wais
line. The back has a similar trimming
except that it is much narrower.-Ne'
York Ledger.

w. Sackman, who lives in Seattle, heard
of Willetta's exploit, she said: MY niece
reminds me of the woman who always
looked under the bed for a man and final
ly found one. 1t has been the one desire
of her life to capture a burglar, and she
has at last had her hobby gratified. I can
well understand her doing it, for she lived
here, and l know her nature II character
fully. Nothing could ever brighten her.
The slightest noise about the house would
arouse her, and she would GO tramping
about in search of some imaginary burglar
and not return until satisfied that every
thing was all right. 1t was a standing
Joke that her constant search would some
day b. rewarded, and, sure enough, it has
been. She is as good, beautiful and tai
ented as she is brave, and l feel quite
proud of her"

At present four legislatures are consider

Here's another argument for less frequent

GEMS FROM JEFFERSON.

left his side, because l was sure he was a
thief, and l was not going to lot him es-
cape.
"When he reached the stairway, he at
tempted to go down, but ! grabbed him by
the lapel of his coat and told him l would
have to detain him for a minute until I
learned more of him. At the same mo-
ment 1 touched the electric button of the
elevator with my other hand. Whom the
elevator came up, l asked him to step in,
which he did. I grabbed the door and
pulled it shut quick and told the boy not
to let the man out if he valued his life,
because he was a thief.
II ran down stairs and got two hellboys
and brought them back with me. They
took the man out of the elevator, and l
told them to take him into the parlor and
lock the door. When he heard that, he be-
gan to fight and threw the bellboys away
from him. I saw he was going to get
away, so I ran up and grabbed him and
told him to behave himself.
II don't know whether no is a coward
Or not, but when I grabbed him he let his
arms fall and quit fighting. He could
easily have struck me, but l guess he was
20 surprised because l was not afraid that

There was no ono else in tho hall when
Miss Robertson conducted the burglar to
the elevator, Mrs. Gaffney having gone
into her room to see il anything had been
stolen. She missed q watch, pin, purse
and some knickknacks, and Whent the thief
was released from the elevator he handed
them over, with profuse apologies.
After the gentleman burglar had been
locked in the parlor the young lady was
20 excited and so fearful that he would es-
cape before the policeman arrived that
she stood guard over him in the room and
watched his every movement. She asked
him how it was that he, who was ap-
parently a gentleman, should in reality be
. thief.
II am very much Inundated to be found
in such a POSITION he replied, but cir
sumstances over which I have no control

Robertson's Story.
The clever manner in which Miss Wi
letta Robertson captured a burglar in the
corridor of a San Francisco hotel and
brought him to justice is just now the
town talk of the Pacific coast metropolis.
This is the story she tells of the exploit:
MY mother, Mrs. Gaffney, had left her
room to pay me a visit. My room is on
the same floor, but in another part of the
house. She met me in the hall, n to-
gether we returned to her room, from
which she had not been absent for more
than five minutes.
"She found the door of her room locked,
and when she told me she had left it un-
locked it flashed across my mind that
there was a thief in the room. l spoke up
and said, Come on back to my room,
mamma and then added in a whisper:
Keep still. There is a thief in the room.'
II stamped off down the hall, dragging
with me, but when we got into
the main hall l stopped to await develop
ments. In a moment I saw a man peer
over the transom Of our bathroom door.
He could not see us, and as l thought he
would think the coast was clear and would
try to leave the room I tiptoed back to the
door and met him just as he was coming
out.
"He tried to get past me-, but I stood ir
front of him and asked him what he was
doing in the room with the door locked
He was extremely polite and told mo he
had mistaken the room for that of a friend
OF course I knew that was ridiculous. HI

STORIES OF THREE WOMEN
Miss Winnie Davis Surprising Memory for Faces-Mrs. CleyeIand's Collection of
 Letters-About Mrs. 0ney

Miss Winnie Davis has a surprising memory for faces and names. says the Atlanta Constitution.
 While she was receiving the people at the depot Monday afternoon she ire quently interrupted Colonel Vests in- troduction by saying: No introduction is necessary--we have met before
 And in many cases the meeting had occurred three or four years before and was quite casual.
 Maj Frank Galloway stepped up to shake the hand of the daughter of the Confectionery. Colonel West started to introduce the young Georgian, but Miss Davis interrupted him and extended her hand:
 We have met before"
 There was a mutual smile, and Major Galloway added in his gallant manner: ''Yes, at Athens
 II was in Major Callaway's school days. He was prominent in society, baseball, military, athletics and study Miss Da- wis went over to Athens and a german avas given in her honor The young men of the university passed in review be- fore her and were introduced by the chancellor. Galloway passed and was presented in his turn. He decided that he would like a second introduction, and taking up his post at the rear of the line he came around again.
 
 introduction and presented the young man.
 Miss Davis looked at him wonderingly.
 T think we met a few moments ago?" inquiringly,
 The junior bluShed.
 My twin brother, I suppose he's just liise me" he stammered.
 "Oh how interesting. I could never distinguish you one from the other. I am glad to have met you"
 Several times during the evening he met Miss Davis and each time she would inquire in jolly tone:
 Which one-Mr. Galloway or his twin biother?"
 And this was the only doubt in her mind when she met Major Galloway at the depot Monday afternoon.
 Mrs Cleveland's Collection of Letters.
 In the matter of letters from people of prominence all over the United States Mrs. Cleveland has about as valuable a collection as Is to be found. Probably after the close of the present admins tration Mrs. Cleveland will carry into execution long cherished plans and have all these letters compiled into a series of volumes. Many of the letters, says the Chicago Tribune, date back to when it first came to be whispered that she was to wed the president. Then there are the letters received with the wedding presents, that of themselves make valued collection of autographs. Some idea of the extent to which a personal correspondence can accumulate in this respect is told by Mrs. Cleveland in re- gard to her experience during the years of the first Cleveland administration. Those of the letters received that were of purely personal character from her friends were always kept until finally six immense Saratoga trunks were filed When preparations for the removal of the president and his wife to New York

Coin and the Philosopher.


 The Washington News says: As the Philosopher was taking his customary morning walk, in search of an appetite and a cheap breakfast, he met near the Jaffa gate MT. Coin, and recognizing the great services of that eminent fnancier, he bowed low with his hat under his arm, the handsome young Napoleon ac- knowledging the salute in graceful and agreeable manner The philosopher sug- gested that it would be a pleasure to have MT. Coins company. They entered the vodka dispensary, at the corner of Appian Way and Euclid avenue.
 While the gorgeously-a serf was concocting a beverage of delectable fra grance the Philosopher fished out from his pocket the last silver dollar, and thus addressed the brilliant and ire futable Keely of Finance.
 That, MT. Coin, is a dollar of the daddies."
 Was said Coin 'it isn't now. The demonstration of silver in 1S73-that ter rible crime against the people destroyed the parity of gold and silver and now silver is relegated to the rear. If con gress would pass the proper legislation, silver would regain it's position as the money metal of the world, and we might be happy yet.'
 Does not the use of gold and silver in the arts and for other purposes influence the value of those metals?"
 
 esoteric finance; "the value of gold and silver depends on their use as money. The law declares 25.S grains of gold a dollar. That is all right. Now. the law should make 412.5 grains of silver dol lar; that would make 1t so, regardless of the value of silver as commodity"
 But" said the philosopher would that fully and effectually remove the whole cause of the present financial stringency?"
 No" answered MT. Coin, i've need more money than we should then have" The distant follower of Diogenes then looked at the ceiling through the bottom of his glass, closing the one the while, and asked:
 Why wouldn't it be better, if legisla- ton determines the value of silver to legislate an equal value per ounce for gold and silver-make them exactly on a par? The Idea of 16 to is an admis- sion that the value of silver is measured by gold. Why not put silver up to to l ? Then they will be on parity with noth- ing plebian or poverty-stricken about sil- vel, ahd give us more money"
 That is a new idea and good one," said Coin. 'I will immediately go home and rewrite the Financial School on that basis"

may be distinguished without diffi- culty by the isolated situation of these two stars. Corona Borealis will attract attention, even of persons who are un- acquainted with it's name, by its strik- ing semi-circular shape
 Near it the constellation Hercules ex- tends over a large space, easily to be recognized by a large quadrilateral and triangle, and is of special interest to us by the fact of our solar system sail ing toward it. Looking toward the south- east we again see the most beautiful of all summer consultations, Scorpio, with its kite-like form, and the red star An tares of the first magnitude. Between it and Hercules wind themselves two large constellations, the Serpent and the Ser pent-Bearer, or Ophiuchus. The head of the Serpent is near Corona and marked by small triangle, whilst the head of Ophiuchus is near the head of Hercules. Cygnus and Aquila are rising above the eastern horizon. In the northeast Lyra, with bright Vega, is climbing up and ap- preaching the meridian. On these com stellations we shall speak more at length in a future article.
