A Horsewhipped Editor Sends Out Bold
 Letter.


 Ashley, Mich, Jan. S-The editor of the News, c. E. Armstrong, who was horsewhipped by Cora Hasbroolx, sur prised the village yesterday by going to the post office carrying a Winchester rifle and two Pevolvers and belt filled with cartridges. Nobody molested him and later his paper came out with the following announcement referring to persons who would harm him:
 ITO all such persons we will say that we long ago learned to have no fear of leaden messages; in fact, a good part of our life has been spent among people who generally shoot first and blowed about it afterwards,
 To the woman he said: "Horsewhips hold no fear for us, and right here, old girl, let us rise to remark that if any of our sneaking, low-lived gang wish to try that kind of medicine on us again we warn you that all it will cost them will be their own doctor bills. We have started to purge this locality, and we will do it or die in the attempt"
 The better class of Ashley is in sym pathy with the editor Marshal Sickels and Mrs, Hasbrook were going to re- peat the thrashing yesterday morning, but the editors gun stopped them.

Advice to a Sandbagge

Sir Matthew Begbie, chief justice of British Columbia, recently deceased, once had before him a man charged with having killed another man with a sandbag The evidence was conclu- sive, and the judge charged the jury accordingly, but a verdict of mot guil- ty" was promptly brought in. The judge was astonished. "Gentlemen of the jury" he said, this is your yer dict not mine. On your conscience the disgrace will rest. Many repetitions of such conduct as yours will make trial by jury a horrible farce, and the city of Victoria a nest of crime. Go! have nothing more to say to you" And then, turning to the prisoner, You are discharged. Go and sandbag some of those jurymen; they deserve it."-' San Francisco Argonaut

copy exactly something which she has
seen somebody else wear.
1t is comparatively simple matter
to make an evening waist if one bears
few of these general principles in
mind. All one needs is plenty of trim
ming, and even this may be Dispersed
with if ones sleeves are right.
A pretty waist for ordinary evening
wear is made of Liberty satin, cut
blouse fashion and brought under a
wide belt. A wide lace collar in four
points made of net jetted with little
black palette is sewed into a high
draped satin collar with choux on
each side to the checks. Such waist
is suitable for almost any occasion.
For more formal evening wear is
waist of embroidered mousseline de
Sole. 1t is gathered to yoke of lace
made decollete in the front and high in
the back The long effect is given to
the shoulder by means of the lace
epaulette and the flounce of mousseline
de sole over each sleeve. A wide belt
OF velvet is ornamented with four fancy
buttons. The whole should be made
over tight lining of silk
One yet more elaborate and suitable
for dancing is also of mousseline de
sole, accordion plated. The decollete
corsage is defined with bands of lace
insertion and strips of the insertion run
up and down on the waist, the whole
being confined by belt of satin ribbon.
A stunning bow of satin is set on at
one side just in front of the sleeve.
There are no shoulder seams in this
waist, the sleeves being sewed to little
straps
One of the most convenient evening
waists | have seen is pink brocade,
made with straps over the shoulder,
and sleeves that could be fastened to
the straps or allowed to hang loose and
show the curve Of the shoulder accord
ing to the -aborateness of the occasion
at which it was worn.
With a pretty waist of some descrip-
ton one can get along very nicely dur
ing this transition season. One other
~
gown that is especially necessary dur
ing these Lenten days is house dress.
1t is possible to have a pretty house
dress that will not cost more than ten
dollars; or one may pay one hundred
and fifty dollars for it, and have it
made of brocade and lined with fur.
A lovely lavender brocade lined with
ermine was marked ninety-five dol
lars, which seemed very reasonable for
such richness. A blue faille silk
trimmed with snowy white lace was
only thirty-fve dollars. Very hand
some cashmere house dresses can be
bought for fifteen dollars, and those
which sell for less than ten dollars are

WOMAN OF FASHION.
4 Change Of Seasons and q
Change Of Styles.
Are the Old Absurdities to Be Supplsnted
~ New Ones?-Big Sleeves Likely to
Remain Popular-Shirt Waists
for summer.
lcoPYRIGHr. 1851

"Gentle spring IS here" at least so
says the calendar, and though the
weather may not teel particularly gem
tie, there are several reasons why we
should assume that it is. and act ac-
cordingly. A change of season is al
ways the signal for the fashionable
world to begin to tremble; and this is
especially true Of spring. Everybody
is at sea. Nobody knows what mon
strosity in re line of clothes IS to be
imposed upon us next.
Are the old absuldities TO which we
have become accustomed to be sup
planted by new ones? That there will
be absurdities Of some kind it would be
folly to doubt, but just what character
they will assume is subject of he
gravest anxiety to those whose bust
ness it is to know. The object Of great
est interest is Of course, the sleeve, as
it has been our stock absurdity for
many season, and it would be very an
noying not to have the precious nui
sance to find fault with. How women
used to scold about the tight sleeves
that fashion pronounced correct, and
then meekly bow to the inevitable and
order the seams of their last pair taken
In, so as to conform more closely to the
dictates of the autocrat. Now, how.
ever, we have grown accustomed to cry
ing out against the extravaganza Of the
two yard sleeve. and then ordering two
yards extra for our new gown for fear
its dimensions will increase before the
summer is over.
There have been vague hints dropped
to the effect that sleeves will grow
smaller this summer, but that is very
unlikely, because there is such spen-
did opportunity for voluminous drapery
in the fine. nimsy material worn in
summer. The chiffon sleeves of untold
yards, which are now only appropriate
for evening wear, may be copied in the
dimities and organizes for wear in the
daytime. The heavier materials will
probably not be so lavishly draped,
as they would be uncomfortably warm
for mild weather. The majority Of
people are avoiding the issue, however,
SO far as new fashions are concerned.
1t is too early to decide upon style
for o whole dress, and a good many

people have hit upon a compromise by
filling the breach with fancy waists of
various descriptions. This necessitates
one handsome skirt, and black is the
best color to choose, because it can be
worn with anything. There are black
serges which are quite cheap; black
crepons which are not cheap. but are
very pretty and very serviceable; black
MORE poplin which is expensive; and
black satin which is most elegant
OF all, but not so serviceable.
One can make such skirt eight
yards wide at the bottom. but
that is not necessary. If the
skirt is half that width and is cut
as it should be, with the godet plaits in
the back, it will serve very well for or
binary purposes and be much less bulky
and manageable. Properly stiffened,
such a skirt may be worn anywhere ac-
cording to the style of waist that is
worn with It, If the waist is an even
ing waist then the skirt is an evening
skirt. If the possessor of this versatile
petticoat happens to want a church
dress, She wears her skirt with dark
silk waist or with a bodice of some
bright color yelled with net or chiffon
or mousseline de sole. The net is lit
tie newer than chiffon, and is there
fore preferable. 1t has a natural stiff
ness OF its own, too, which makes it
hold its place when arranged to stand
out in countless puffs. Grenadines
will doubtless be used for separate
waists TO wear to church. and these
are much more durable than any of the
other thin materials. For cheap waists
there is great opportunity to buy silks
on the bargain counters now.
Shirt waists are to be even more
popular than last summer. The new
est style has double box plat in front
which is starched as stiff as a mans
shirt bosom and ornamented with pretty
studs. These useful waists are not to
be limited in materials to linens and
chambrays, but will be made OF
dimities and dotted Swiss. One can
thus be very cool and yet wear dark
colors, for the dotted Swiss is obtain.

French fannels and other soft ma

blouses with the double box plat in
front which is to characterize the new
shirt waist That line which the plat
follows in the blouse front appears IL
