WORKED TIE COMBINATlON,
AMySterious and Expert Burglary in Maine
 Village.


 Boston, June 10.-A special from Lov- ell, Me, says
 One of the most mysterious burglaries in the history of Maine was committed in this village last Thursday night when the safe in the store of James E. Hutch ins was opened and cash, stocks, bonds and securities to the amount of $50,000 were taken. The securities were in a small tin box and for several years MT. Hutchins had kept it in the big safe in the country store which is run by his grand son, c. J. Hutchins.
 Friday morning young Hutchins opened the store as usual Not a thing had been disturbed in the establishment and not until the storekeeper had opened the safe did he know that burglars had been at work. The tin box, which for a number of years had been in one corner of the safe. was missing and diligent search failed to reveal it's whereabouts. The safe had been opened by the com bination lock and after the securities had been removed the safe had been re- locked
 The officers have been unable to get the slightest clue to the guilty parties.

Hawaii Puts a Castle on Our Bluf-The New
 Minister Appointed

Minister Appointed.
 Honolulu, June 3.-(Correspondence United Press per Steamer Australia.)- The Hawaiian government has commits stoned William R. Castle as it's minister to Washington. The announcement of MT. Castles appointment by the steamer Monowai, sailing from here on May 31, was premature, as the appointment was not made until the following day.
 MT Castle will proceed to his post in August, accompanied by his family On account of business interests here he does not expect to occupy the position for any great length of time. He was the second member of the commission of which Thurston was the head which ne- SOtiated the treaty of annexation with President Harrison in February 1893.
 The government desires to avoid giv- ing any needless irritation. It has there fore refraned from discussing MT Thurs tons course. It is therefore not to be in- terpreted as censuring him. On the con- srary, it is deeply sensible of MT. Thurs tons great fidelity in his support at a critical period in December, 1893, as well as on many other occasions, when he was obliged to assume an attitude neeessa- rily unpleasant to the Washington ad- ministration.
 Hon. Audley Coote of Australia is here. He intended to go to Washington. but will defer that visit until near the open ing of the session of congress. He rep resents the Pacific Cable company, which laid the first link of 1000 miles to New Caledonia Mr. Coote is prepared to lay proposed cable from Monterey to Honolulu, to be owned by the United states government if desired, or other wise subject to their control. His inten- ton Is then to proceed with a line to Ja- pan and another to Australia

Wheel Women's Wear.
New York Sun.


 Usually during the first warm spell you hear women in the shops, in the cars, in the street, at home, in fact, every where that thre are women at all, asking one another such questions as How are you going to make your organdie2" What trimming will you use on your dotted swiss ?" Do you think China silk cooler than gingham?" All this is now changed, and the questions of the day are: What is the coolest way to dress for cycling?" Are bicycle shirts grow ing shorter as the summer advances" ?" Which will be more comfortable to ride in during hot weather, leggings or golf stockings ?'and so on without limit. The initiated women, who have wheeled away several happy summers, reeom- mend lisle or silk gauge vest, very thin equestrian tights, lisle thread stockings if leggings are to be worn, but, if not, golf stockings, the regular bicycle cor set, if any is used, and a cotton shirt waist. The subject of corset is vital The dress reform woman says they must go. The woman who can afford to go to a swell tailor and have a costume made with one of these close-fitting natty coats and the stout woman says that stays are necessity. Corsets have been discovered on Egyptian mummies, so it is likely that even the new woman will not be able to banish them entirely At any rate, a special cycling corset has recently been put on the market. One or two dry goods shops advertise bicy- cling corsets, which in reality are riding corsets, being short on the hips. The gen uine article stops on the waist line above the hips, and is very short over the ab- domen and in the back. It merely amounts to a support for the bust and backbone. and is said to be very com fortabe by those who wear it. Corset waists are worn by many and are bound to be comfortable. as they are without steels and whalebone A young girl should wear neither, but if one or the other must be worn, let it be the waist
