STYLES In Rings.

A New York manufacturer Of jcw5lry
says: "The cameo ard initial rings have
altogether gone ont Of fashion, TAh lat
ter always were, 10 my eye. vulgl"!.ys,
but fOr-a-veral years the public demand
ed them, ana very lively competition
existed among manufacturera n he get

the INTERCHANGEABLE. Nov they Gould
hardly be given away. Marquise rings
have also lost their popularity. People
want a present rather plain rings set
with sollta.ges. Even if the diamond Is
only a very llttle one, it is preferred to
anything else; and, owing to the general
reduction Of profits in the jewel"y busi-
ness in late years, Il IS practicable now
to purchase a small genuine diamond
ring for no more than would fo"merly
have been paid for a clumsy initial or
Splurgy marqu.se ring"

FASHION NOTES.

The new skirts ore made with four
1--WE and SIX cores.
The basque waist with surplice fronts
is coming into vogue again.
An-wo5l ,Bedford-cord fabrics will be
revived for autumn costumes
Prussia has recently decided to throw
open medical Studies and degrees to
women.
Tire dlshing plaid silks will be much
used this fall for waists to be worn
with plain cloth skirts.
An attractive combination for chill
drens dresses Is g1lden-br brown serge and
the same material in pale cream tlnts.
Among the natty box-plaited boating
costumes worn this season are those of
English silk serge, which Is extra wide.
The very newest thing to nestle among
the ribbons in the latest sumer hat Is
cluster of cherries or currants in their
natural color.
A new mohalr with an almost corded
weave will be one Of the favorfte fab
rics for autumn gowns. All-wool Bed.
ford cords will also be the vogue
The much-admred box platt now
forms part of the back of many of the
fashionable skirts. It's graceful eeffct h
due to an interllnlng Of fibre chamols.
The latest in sleeves is a modernlzed
bishop which is full from the shoulder
to the waist. 1t has a lining of fibre
chamo!s 20 retain It's graceful contour.
Cloth of gold Is the latest for dressy
bodlces. A beautiful black satin gown
has a low bodice of gold cloth, the
sleeves being frIll upon frlll of black
chiffon.
Plants grown In small pots bloom
m ore freely than those grown in larger
ones. but must be kept thoroughly wat
cred as they are liable to injury from
drying Of the earth.
Garden party hats are larger than
ever. The daintiest are of white silk
null, trimmed with punches Of white
daisies. Those Of pink null with clus.
ters Of pink rosebuds are also pretty.
She who wishes to present an attrac.
tive appearance during the hot weather
should bear in mind that half dozen
1872 cent glnghams or dimlties make
woman dalnter and cooler to look upon
than an expensive silk gown.
Among the new pieces Of odd china Is
the pancake dish. 1t Is a deep dnll
green in color, like a great saucer in
shape and has a cover that fits closely
and Is pierced with several small holes
10 allow the steam 10 pass OUT.
Those who respect their compilations
will not wear any OF the so-called rain
bow hats that are still prevalent. The
delicate tlnts which the human skin Of
fers are entirely hidden when brought
into harsh contrast with these varl-cd-
ored pieces Of heldgear.
The summer girl IS wearing belt Of
Dresden ribbon which Is interllned with
fibre channels. The belt never wrinkles
and the ribbon may be changed accord
ing to ones fancy The modlsh swing
of the skirt Is also effected by the in
terlining of fibre chamo.s. .

Dogs Can Read Character.

Wonderful tales have been told Of the
marvellous instructive intelligence Of
dogs, bus the idea Of consulting a ca
nine oracle when man is contemplat-
ing matrimony is a new one. French
writer, however, says that before com
mltting himself a man should note care
fully how she whom he loves conducts
herself towards her parents and friends
and, above all, how she treats ordinary
domestic animals. beware Of person
whom children and dogs dislike" he
says DOES may be our interiors, but
their instincts rarely deceive them, and
a pronounced ant!pathy on their part
may we'll be considered as a danger Sig
nal. No compassion should be fel; for
him who marrles / girl whom dogs snar
at and dislike, for ne has had fair warn
ing Of domestic storms

BiSXcle Accident.

An unfortunate accident occur
red to four bicycIists in front of
Samuel Parker's home on King
street shortly after p. m. yester-
day. Edwin Paris, George Angus
and the Giles brothers were com
ing along at pretty speedy rate,
pacing each other. The front
wheelo of the younger Giles bicycle
struck the hind wheel of Angus
bicycle. The former was sent
sprawling into the dust. Henry
Giles ran over his brothers neck
and then fell in a heap himself.
Edwin Paris followed suit after
running over both the Giles boys.
All three were scratched pretty
badly but nothing serious resulted.
The Stearns wheels which the three
bicyclists rode were bent but not
broken. There is talk of postpon-
ing the road race for one week on
account of the accident

why ? Because on the evening of
that day the Beretania Lawn Tennis
Clubs entertainment will take place
in the Y. NJ. c. A. Hall, and orange
and black are the club colors. A
fine program is being arranged by
Wray Taylor, who assists the club

4 Business Squeeze.

George Lycurgus, through his
attorney, has petitioned the Court
to declare @. d. Freeth and Harry
Congdon Grading as the California
Wine Company, bankrupts. The
petition is asked on the grounds
that 800 in notes given by de-
PENDANTS as purchase money for his
share of the business are due and
unpaid. \ policeman was in charge
OF the place yesterday, but it is not
believed his presence will be needed
very long. The partners are well
known and popular men here, and
it is probable they will soon get out
of their difficulties. The general
tightness in the money market, to-
gether with the dull business dur
ing the past two months is said to
be the cause OF the trouble.

Henry Wentworth Mist was born
at Fullham, Middlesex, England,
June 10, 1888. AS a boy he was
educated at the celebrated Blue
Coat School for the navy, and when
Is years of age he entered the SER
vice as midshipman. Six years
afterward he served through the
Crimean War and distinguished
himself by bravery in action, OBJ
tanning the Crimean Medal and
the Turkish order of the Medjidie
In August, 1856, he visited this
port in H. B. NJ. S. Havanah and
became engaged to Miss McKibbin,
sister of DR.. Robert McKibbin.
Upon attaining the rank of COM
mander Captain Mist returned to
the islands and was married at the
old Lyceum on Nuuanu street,
July %, 1868.
AS mate of the Rodney he was
in the war with Russia in the
Black Sea. He assisted in landing
the allied armies in the Crimea
and in bringing wounded from the
field after the battle of the Alma.
He landed at Balaclava with first
party of the naval brigade, and
served in the trenches before Sebas-
topol. He was J. p. for British
Columbia from 1868 to 1872 and
received thanks of the governor for
Judgment and discretion in that
capacity.
In 1868 Captain Mist was in
command of II. b. NJ. s. Sparrow
hawk, at Vancouver. Caring more
for domestic life than the pomp
and show of the navy, and having
won distinction enough for the
average man, he retired from the
service in 1872. He returned with
his family to the islands shortly
afterward. During one of the
terms of John A. Cummins as Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, Captain
Mist was Secretary OF the Foreign
Office. In 1878 he was sent by the
Government on a mission to the
Colonies and the South Seas, for
the purpose of securing laborers for
the plantations. When a. T. At
kinson was editor OF the GAZETTE
Captain Mist assisted and wrote
many crisp and spicy editorials for
that paper. He was also editor of
the Weekly Hawaiian and Satur-
day Press. He has always been
prominent in the conduct of affairs
OF the st. Andrews Cathedral, and
has been one of the church war
dens for years. At the service
today Rev. Alexander Macintosh
Will preside and Wray Taylor will
have charge of the music.
