here on his way to the coast to bring back
to Missouri the four young orphan cousins
of Fraker, the principal beneficiaries under
the will. Judge Lincoln will now return
to Missouri on account of the news of
Fraker's capture, abandoning his mission.
He was astonished at the news, always
believing Fraker was dead. He is con-
fident there was no perjured testimony
concerning the drowning According to
the Judge, the affair is mysterious one.
He showed copy of Fraker's will, by the
terms of which it would seem that, even if
there was collusion with his beneficiaries,
Fraker could not have protited by the
fraud to more than slight extent for
several years. The executor s. d only a
small portion OF the insurance money had
been paid over to him.

BATTLE WITH SMUGGLERS.
Nine Revenue Soldiers Are Killed In
Guatemala.

CITY OF MEXICO, Mex, Sept. 5.-A
special from San Cristobal la Cusas says
that news has just been received there that
band of twenty-three smugglers, while
attempting to cross into Guatemala short
distance from Retalhuen, were attacked by
Guatemalan revenue agents, supported by
over eighty soldiers. A fight ensued, and
after three hours the soldiers were obliged
to retreat, leaving nine bodies. The snug
glers took the goods into the country.
Persons lately returned from northern
provinces of Guatemala say that the feel
ing in that section is very strong against
President Barrios and revolution be-
lieved imminent. The topic OF most con-

Capture of a Man Who Intended to SiCind

Banks.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 5.-What
is believed to be an important capture was
made by city detectives to-day in the ar
rest of Robert Ritson, and it is thought an
extensive swindle of National banks has
been nipped in the bud. A few days ago a
firm of printers here notified Chief OF De-
tectives Miller that a stranger had given
them an order for several hundred blank
drafts, which were to be finished to-day.
Detectives were put on the case, and they
arrested Ritson Immediately after he had
received the drafts from the printers.
The drafts are known as cashiers drafts
and are drawn on the banks correspon-
dents in other cities. Ritson could not sat
isfactorily explain his object in having the
drafts printed, and he was held In $1,000
bail for further hearing.

The manners of the New York

but her conversation is more orig

own opinions on most subjects and
expresses them whenever she thinks
it necessary or agreeable.
She plays tennis, believes in chap

looking and healthy than strictly
beautiful. Sometimes, however, she
is more than this. She is a full

The majority of ladies who patronize
this establishment are ordering their
fall costumes to comprise three pieces,
coat, skirt and silk waist to match.
This is principally done on account of
the size of the sleeves, which really
appear to be increasing in their ex-
travagant fullnesS.
L had good luck to drop into these
well-known tailoring saloons precisely
on time to see a three-piece costume
that won my warmest admiration. The
dress in question was composed of a
pretty brown home-spun, rather rough
in texture. the skirt was perfectly
plain with all the fullness gathered
to- the back and arranged in full
cores, which fell in long organ-pipe

which she wears better than any
healthy, high-colored creature, with
noble impulses and capable of high
purpose, with no trace of morbid
ness or supersensitive nerves to dis
turb her enjoyment of life or upset
her digestion. Faults she has un-
doubtedly, but meannesses not one.
Her language savors of the breezy,
graphic slang Of the West, and She
has a gift for going straight to the
point with neat and apt descrip-
ton Of the subject under discussion,
a remarkable faculty for hitting the
nail on the head. Altogether the
Chicago damsel is an attractive
though startling girl, a splendid
woman and jolly, whole-souled
wife and mother.
The Philadelphia girl is as COM
plete contrast to the Chicago young
woman as could be dreamed. De-
mure, quiet and self possessed, the
Quaker maiden is exceedingly pretty
with her spiritual face, feeting color
and witching dimples. There is a
sweet. old fashioned air about the
quaint little beauty that brings to
memory the scent of sweet lavender
and pleasant thoughts of wholesome,
frugal ancestors. Simple as she
seems, with her glossy, abundant
hair, her peachy complexion and
dove-like eyes, she is not altogether
devoid Of coquetry, as more than one
sad faced, Industrious young Quak-
er merchant could tell if he would.
Sometimes she even wears a sort of
modified Quaker dress, and when she
does it is becoming, and unwary,
susceptible young men had better
take care, for she is then distinctly
dangerous.
She is a good housekeeper and a
model wife and mother. She does not

perfect peacefulness and rest are all
about her. She takes the world cas-
lily and worries not at all. She is
good housekeeper and fine cook,
She troubles herself but little with
the new ideas anent women and
their work, but is content to go on
in the same old-fashioned way that
her mother and her grandmother be-
fore her went. She is rather fond of
lectures and similar entertainments,
but seldom exerts herself enough to
be very enthusiastic over anything.
An awful fiirt is this Southern gorl,
but faithful, devoted wife and a
true, warm-hearted woman
A strange combination of the
Southern girl and the Chicago girl
is the st. Louis young woman. She
mas the fiery and passionate nature
OF the Baltimore woman and the
free and breezy manner of the West
ern girl, and, like the latter, it must
be confessed that she is a trife
prone to using slang. She is usually
a dark-eyed, dark-haired and olive
skinned young creature of rather
large mold. She dresses in the
height of fashion, and, though some
OF her selections in the way of cos
tune are rather startling, they are
always becoming. She is generous
and fond of masculine attention.
which it is freely acknowledged is
hers to command. She resembles
the Baltimore girl in that she suf-
fers from moods, sometimes as gay
as a lark, sometimes mournful as a
dove. Her hair is fine, silky, dark
and Wavy rather than curly. She
is inclined to be eNtravagant, but
can make sacrifices if necessary. for
she is not selfishly extravagant, and
is as willing to spend money on a
friend as on herself. A fine, snowy,
passionate, generous girl is the st.
Louis young woman, whose heart
runs away with her head some
times. Indeed, the greater part of
her charm is her warm-hearted i'm
pulsiveness.
The San Francisco girl is an en-
t1rely different product from the
girls of the other cities. The condi-
tions of life, the floods of golden
sunshine and the profusion of flow
ers and fruits all appear to shed
some mysterious influence about her.
She is more beautiful than other
girls, and there is an almost sem
suous charm about the coloring of
her complexion, the masses of her
golden hair and the evoluptuousness Of
her magnificent form. She has tall
ent for the stage and is frequently
a highly gifted young woman, ma
ture being as lavish with her in re-
gard to mental gifts as to physical
charms. But though she is a marked
success upon the stage, either as a
lyric or a dramatic artist, though
she becomes a celebrated painter, a
sculptor or an author, she is not a
cultured girl in the ordinary accep-
tation of the word. She is not usual
ly we'll read girl nor is she a
girl of many accomplishments. Her
one talent developed, she rests con-
tent with that and the kingdom she
rules by right of beauty. She is
daughter of the gods, 'ttall and most
divinely fair and her gestures are
graceful, unconventional and won-
derfully free. She dresses well and

Smiling, languid, yet hot tempered

become stout as she grows older, and
her complexion frequently thickens

and English fluently, and while in
the former tongue she clips her words
a little, the latter language rolls
trippingly off her tongue with a
slight trilling of the RS and an added
fullness to the vowels.

She is not as fastidious as the New

a fine looking young woman of the
we'll developed type, broad minded
and little bounded by mere conven-

girl may be pardoned if she gives

She is full of hearty enjoyment and
