Washington, Sept. n.-Secretary Her

mand of the cruiser Columbia, relieving
Capt. George w. Sumner. recently tried
by court-martial. While the findings of
the court-martial in Capt. Summers case

1t will probably be some time before
Capt Summers fate is made known, and
the case will go TO the President, who has
been exceedingly careful and painstaking
in deciding every case involving the fu-
ture of a naval officer charged with a se-
rious offense after a lifetime of efficient
service, and no speedy action may be ex-

duced by Alderman Lemont to annul the
city contract with the water works COM

abundance for fire protection. Mayor
Clifton vetoed the measure, but it was

the pressure is so light that a stream can
not be thrown twenty feet at the MAJOR

Bristol. Tenn, Sept. n.--Fifty special

hundred men and boys surrounded the
building and IL looked for awhile as IL
they would take the negro out. The po-

To-day the negro was tried for the at

the penalty. Judge Rhea pronounced
sentence and fixed the time Of execution

be hanged at once and would probably

" BY treating nitrate of the metal with

The utilization ofbthe idea in the salt

Immediately, producing very deceptive
effect.
1t may easily be imagined how wire silver
produced by artifice might be employed to
deceive buyers of mines. 1t is only In this
form that natural silver Is pretty to look
at. Ordinarily the Gre is without luster,
and the richest Of it has the appearance or
blue sand. No person unacquainted with
such matters would imagine that silver ore
dug recently In Colorado and made to yield
Sl2,OOO ton was worth carting away. 1t
Is for this reason that silver was so little
used by the aborigines of this country.
The ornaments of some tribes were oc-
casionally covered with thin plates of the
white metal, but knowledge OF it was not
general.
The production of wire silver by artificial
means is interesting only as laboratory
experiment. AT all events, no commercial
use for it has been suggested as yet.

MONTE CARLOS PATRONS.

The Ladies Are the Most Profitable

From tho London Telegraph
The English, the Americans and the
French are probably the most remuner-
alive patrons of Monte Carlo; and it is
to Switzerland, and not to the frontier
of Italy, that the vast majority of pleas
ure-seekers repair in summer. Again, at
the very period when the Casino people
wish to allure English visitors to the
Riviera the London season is at its height,
and the parliamentary session has as yet
shown no sign of waning. The Atlantic
steamships are bringing to Europe every
week shoals of American tourists; but our
transatlantic visitors usually pass the
summer in London or Paris, or at Eng
lish or French watering places and wait
cooler weather before they journey down
south.
Another suggestion made to the perplex-
ed administration is that a club for the
use of gentlemen visitors should be eStab-
lished in connection with the Casino. it
being proposed to utilize for the purpose
the premises of the Hotel Monte Carlo;
but it is difficult to see that the financial
prosperity of the Casino Company would
be increased by supplementing the exist

recklessly, and they will continue to play
until they have lost their last five-franc

FOIBLES OF FASHION.
Valuable Pointers for Men Who Wish
to Dress Properly.


to Dress Properly.
From the CIorhier and Furnisher.
For evening wear very little difference
is noted in the coat from last year, the
possible exception being made for a slight
shortening of the skirt and the same being
a little less rounded.
The cut Of the evening dress vest is a
frequent topic for discussion. 1t is a
noticeable fact, however, that but one
general shape is shown for The winter Of
1885, the tendency being toward the "V''
effect.
Trousers are made wider at the knee
and narrower at the bottom, which is a
stride toward the old-tirle peg-top.
Fancy bosomed shirts, even with a single
line of embroidery near the center, have
long rested in obscurity. There is an effort
being made in England to restore The plat
ed shirt, which, it is hoped, will fail.
Nothing is so dressy as the plain bosom,
with one, two or three studs, preferably
two.
Jewelry in evening dress should be con-
spicuouSly absent and what is worn should
be of the plainest kind. Nothing shows
ignorance of correct dressing palmer than
conspicuous display of jewelry, plain
dull studs IN gold, with cuff buttons to
match, and, perhaps, a fob, which should
be of black, twisted silk, being the limit.
Different authorities on evening dress,
both here and abroad, agree on rhe straight
high collar, with little or no space in
front. On this point an English writer
says: "Of course, such a collar is phySi-
cal impossibility to some men, and to them
it is allowable to bend the points suffi-
GENTLY to give comfort"
There is but one accepted cuff for even
ing dress, and that is the link. In point
of artistic beauty this cuff supplants all
others.
Much has been said concerning the bow
whether the self-tied or the niade-up is
the proper thing. The preference is for the
former. In favor of the latter are the
facts that few wearors are able 10 tie
respectable bow, and also that many of
the made-up bows can only be distinguish

Semi-dresS is covered by a variety Of
garments, any one of which may be con-
sidered stylish. The two most prominent
are the three-buttof cutaway of medium
length, and the frock closed with three
buttons.

condemnation of this style, in which the
authorities COMPOUNDED the spring and
