The Gun Hud IL Peculiar Click.

Seeming trifes have hanged many a man.
Clarke Miller of Dallas probably realizes
this. Miller was recently sentenced to :he

AS the man vino fired the shot brought
down his gun peculiar click was recog-
nized by one of Roberts sons, who had
used the same gun a few days before.
This click was due to the lo0seness OF one
barrel. Clarke Miller and Howard Parton
We're arrested on the charge Of murder
The gun with the peculiar click was found
in Miller's possession. He had run to his
home and. in order to avoid suspicion, had
himself rammed down two charges into the
gun and mad gone out to join in the search
for the murderers. When the loads were
withdrawn. it was found that he had
neglected to put any powder in the gun.
Truth is stranger than detective stories.

Another economical fashion that will be
much used until the stock of gowns is re-
plenished by new ones Is the strapping of
each seam of the dress skirt. or ADJOINING it
with band of passementerie cord, braid
or ribbon. Men would like nightly to
cover up the shiny seams of their Oft
cleaned coats that way. but they can't
A Possibility of Hoops and BustIes,
Hoops and bustles are imminent. The
stiff Innings of haircloth and canvas are
giving way to wire tape facing nearly Il
quarter of a yard deep, and the way they
do make the skirts stand out is caution.
This wire tape business is not bad, if it on
ly stops there, but such ideas grow fast
and quarter of a yard may deepen to a
yard In just 40 time. OF course, bustles
had tc be expected when skirts got so
heavy and dragged SO in the back. They
are not large, and in all probability will
never reach the enormous proportions of a
generation ago. A soft rounded pad four
inches deep and six inches long, made of
pulled wool. can be made at home and will
answer every purpose. If the human form

The Princess RcdinSOte.
That graceful garment, the princess red
ingote, is growing in favor every day.
Some of the most magnificent garments are
being made up in that style, both for house
and carriage wear. One of the handsomest
examples of this is found in an olive-green
velvet wrap which comes to the bottom OF
the gown with which it is worn, and has
collar and fronts bordered with silver fox.
The big sleeves have bretelles of the vel
vet falling over them, and the coat is lined,
throughout with red and green changeable
silk. OF course. only a very wealthy wo-
man could stand the cost of wrap ike
that but n very handsome one could be
constructed for about a quarter of the cost

fine broadcloth. or of one of the rich new

Mustaches Prohibited,

This is the rule at the we'll known
banking house of Messrs. Coutts g. Co.,
80 Strand. None of the bank clerks
wears mustaches, and it has long been
considered point of business etiquette
that all the gentlemen employed at the
bank should wear frook coats during
business hours. A clerkship at Messrs.
Coutts' is considered one of the prizes in
the banking profession. Some of the
men are university graduates, many
have been educated at one of the great
public schools, while several have been
called to the English bar. Some years
ago an attempt was made to have the
unwritten law regarding mustaohes re-
scinded, but it was found that greater
number preferred the old custom to re-
main in force than were in favor Of its
abolition.
This curious custom is also said to
prevail in some of the large teahouses
In the city, while it is we'll known that
some Church of England bishops prefer
the curates under their charge to be
clean shaven. A lady who tried about
three years ago to enforce shaved face
on the groom in her employment, and
dismissed him at once because he refused
compliance with her order, found that
the law gave her no such power and
was mulcted in e5 for wrongful dis
missal and the costs of the action by the
