waist Is draped with spaagled white
chiffon, and the sleeves are Of plain
chiffon with a ruffie of the green taf-
feta at the elbows. The drapery is Of
the skirt stuff, Is alike back and front,
and is held in place by punched silk
rosettes.
Tiny rows of lace run up and down
and very full are the approved finish
for the daintier shirt waists and fronts,
and the former are fastened with great
fiat rhinestone buttons made after the
fashion Of cut steel buttons that were
In favor not long ago. Such indica.
tions prepare the student Of fashions to
find shirt waists used In elaborate get
ups, and that will be the rule for tho
coming hot months. An example OF
this Is presented by the final picture
costume, which, though Including n
shirt waist and jacket that reminds Of
the cut Of year ago, is decorated sty-
lishly with perforated stuff, which 30
changes the otherwise simple godet
skirt as to make a practically new sort
of skirt of 1t. Old blue cloth is the main
fabric, and bands of this outline the
godets and are perforated to show the
white silk underneath. Triangular bits
of this trimming show, too, at each side
of the plain front. Revers and collar
are similarly ornamented, and the
whole Is so dressy that a blouse Of
white chiffon or silk, or tailor-made
vest with linen chemisette and suita-
BILE tie may be appropriately substi-
trited for the skirt.

apricots, pears or apples are used in

JUDGE taylor HAD A Gun
Sensation Created in the VenanQO
County Court House.
ATTACK ON DEPUTY SHERIFF
LabOring Under the DclusiOn That the
Deputy Had Been Spying on His Ac.
tions the Judge Points Loaded
Revolver at the Officer.
BY the United Press.

Franklin, Pa, Jan. 6.-Yesterday
afternoon President Judge Charles L.
Taylor, who has served sixteen years
as judge of Venango county, attempted
to shoot Deputy Sheriff NJ. M. Shoe
macher. About 4.30 o'clock Judge Tay-
lor went into the sheriffs Office in the
court house, and after exchanging q
few words with Deputy Sheriff Shoe
macher, started to abuse him, calling
him all sorts of vile names. He was
ordered out of the office, but instead of
leaving he walked over to the deputy
who was sitting down at the time, and
endeavored to hold him in his chair.
Shoemaker succeeded in arising and
got hold of the judge, telling him to
leave the office. With curses the judge
resisted, and exclaimed fiercely '1'I
shoot YOU" and drawing a loaded re-
volver, pointed it at the deputy, who
quickly grabbed the pistol hand and
probably thus saved his life. II. Smith,
an oil producer, was in the Office at the
time, and Marshall Phipps, deputy pro-
thonotary, who was passing the door,
ran to the deputy's assistance.
After hard struggle the three men
succeeded in overpowering the judge
and got the revolver from him.
Judge Taylor is "A years of age. Late
ly 1T appears that he Is laboring under
delusion that Sheriff Shaner, Deputy
Sheriff Shoemaker and Register and
Recorder Frank Barr, have been fol-
lowing and spying upon his actions.
A short time before the attempted
shooting the judge met Sheriff Shaner
and Register and Recorder Barr In the
corridor Of the court house and began
abusing them. calling them vile names
and Gnally striking the sheriff in the
face. On account of the judges age
Mr.. Shaner let the matter pass and
walked away. 1t is understood that
suit will be entered against the judge
by the deputy sheriff for pointing fire.

an attorney but it was not divulged

A mammoth electric railway projec,
is proposed by Martin Dodge, of Cleve-
land, the president of the Ohio Road
commission of 1893. says the Electrical
Engineer, noted for the advanced posi-
ton 1t took with regard to the construc-
ton of electric roads through the coun-
try districts. His latest project involves
millions, but he is very confident that
he will be able to carry 1t through. 1t
Is nothing short of proposition to build
a great network of electric lines all
over Ohio at the public expense He
believes the electric road is the system
of the future, and he would have the
public construct lines in the same man.
ner as canals and highways have been
built in tine past, and are being built
now. He thinks the time is ripe for an
act under which the state and counties
may join hands, and construct electric
roads between all the county seats in
the state, the lines to be operated by
private enterprise on lease, after they
have been built. He would have the
counties pay half the expense of the
Immense work and the state the re-
mainder. He estimates that this would
require 1000 miles of road, and would
cost over s2O,0O0,OOO. The estimate of
5000 per mile, which he fixed, is below
the average, it is said, of the expendl-
ture on the county lines now in opera
tion in the state, and the work, done by
the public, would still further increase
this expenditure.

HENRY JAMES NEW PLAY.
1t Is Received with Jccrs and IIOwls and
the Gallery Calls 1t Rotten.

i
By the United Press.
London, Jan. 6.-Henry James new
play, Guy Dormville," was given at
st. James theater last evening. AL
though spiendidly mounted and well
acted, 1t was a stupendous failure.
Like the authors novels, it is an ana
lytic study Of character. Perhaps in
the form of a novel it might succeed,
but as play it is weak and devoid of
technique.
George Alexander and Marion Terry
had the chief parts. The period is $780,
The first act pleased the audience, the
second was distinctly inferior, and
dragged the third was hopeless. The
curtain after the third act was followed
by Kisses and jeers. In response to
calls Mr.. Alexander led Mr.. James to
the footlights. They We're received
withs tumultous hooting, groaning, and
Kissing, which quite drowned the slight
applause. They faced the din for two
of three minutes, Mr.. James gazing
with scornful coolness at the turbulent
throng, and Mr.. Alexander shifting
nervously from position to position.
Later, Mr.. Alexander. alone, an
swered demands for speech by telling
how pained he was to experience such
a rebuff after the many kind receptions
that had been given him. The company
had worked very hard to do justice to
the play, ne said.
'Taint your fault, guv'nor," came
from the gallery. IT'S the rotten play"
More howls followed this, and Mr.
Alexander disappeared in confusion.
His remarks are regarded as i'll ad-
vised, for they tended clearly to throw
the whole blame for the failure on Mr.
James shoulders.
