The New Cotton Gowns.

Many readers are interested in the make
Of cotton gowns. The materials are pretty,
some being printed in black on light col
ors, others having rich silk finish, while
many old friends, such as cotton crepon
and linens, are shot, striped and checked
in novel fashion.
A suggestive style for making a new
cotton gown is a plain skirt, the bodice
with Bolero jacket over full front the
collar made of velvet to match the waist
band, and both arranged to button on us
required. Large frills of lace form n point
over the shoulder and then descend straight
down the back, having cross cut narrow
added basque. The sleeves are large and
have big cuffs covered with lace.
The choice of white washing fabrics is
great, from tho finest embroidered muslin
20 the stoutest piquo and kind of oat-
meal cloth. There are some fine lawns
with crepon stripe, which are extremely
pretty.

that tho majority Of women otherwise well
dressed are badly shod. 1t is only the
women Of the United States who fully
comprehend this elegance and are an ex-

York Herald, which comments as above
upon the fashionable "chaussure, some
items about the latest English models as
perfected by Partisan taste are Cleaned
Among leading models is patent black
leather shoe bordered with kid, which is
known as the Spanish shoe. Another is
similar in make, but of white kid. A mod

same time practical and elegant.
The black sole which is generally adopt
ed now gives more substance to the leath

wax polished with hot iron.
Tho shape which gives long narrow
effect to the foot is the style adopted by all
really elegant and well shod women. The
lessening OF the number of buttons on
boots Is move in the right direction, but
there must DO enough buttons to prevent
pickering
Extremely elegant in form are boots
with uppcrs made Of vanished leather and
six buttons only. A real novelty which
has been In existence but short time is u

Black patent leather shoes are In very
stylish cut, and good models in brown leath-

To keep shoes in good condition the au-

In the ease Of f. p. Bowles against

here one and a half weeks, the

valuation of which by any Of the
witnesses was SO. 1t is located on

when. not being able to agree, they
were discharged 10y Judge Munson.

not less than $500. and as much
more on the first case, in which the
plaintiff was awarded so, after a trial
lasting nine days.
Ex-Goy. Dillingham; has made his
report as referee in the famous chan
Gerry case Of the Security banking
company Of Hartford, Conn, against
the Bennington Battle Monument
Association. The suit was practically
in the interests OF Charles NJ. Bliss,
formerly secretary Of the monumental
association. The amount set up in the
bill wa about $40, coo, for money eN-
pended by Mr.. Bliss in the interests of
the association. Gov. Dillingham;
held that the services rendered by Mr..
Bliss were rended voluntarily, and that
the large expenses incurred by him
here without the authority of the asso-
citation. The work done under the
specific authority of the association
has been paid for, and the ASSOCIATION
is under no further obligations to re-
mumerate Mr.. Bliss. The suit was
brought in May, 1890. The associa-
tion offered M. Bliss 1000 in settle

AN ALPENA MIRACLE.
MRS. Jas NJ. TODD, OF LONG RAPIDS,
DIsCARDS HER CRUTCHES.
In an Interview with "A Reporter She
Reviews Her Experience and Tells
h Real Cause Of the Miracle.

iva NISbItItt THU Itiis
the Real Cause of the Miracle.
From the Argus. Alpena. Mich
We have long known Mrs. Jas. NJ.
Todd, of Long Rapids. Alpena CO..
Mich. She has been a sad cripple.
Many of her friends know the story of
her recovery for the benefit of those
who do not we publish ii to-day.
Eight years ago she was taken with
nervous prostration. and in q few
months with muscular and inhamma.
tory rheumatism. 1t affected her
heart. then her head. Her feet be-
came so swollen she could wear moth
ing on them her hands were Drawn
all out of shape. Her eyes were swollen
shut more than half the time, her
knee joints terribly swollen and for
eighteen months she had to be held up
to be dressed. One limb became en-.
tirely helpless, and the skin was SO dry
and cracked that it would bleed.
During these eight years she had been
treated by a score of physicians, and
has also spent much time at Ann
Arbor under best medical advice. All
SAID her trouble was brought on by
hard work and that medicine would
not cure, and that rest was the only
thing which would ease her. After
going to live with her daughter she
became entirely helpless and could not
even raise her arms To cover herself
at night. The interesting part of the
story follows in her " words:
was urged to try DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People and at last
did so. In three days after | com
menced taking Pink Pills | could sit
up and dress myself, and after using
them six weeks | went home and com,
menced working. | continued ataking
the pills. until Eow | begin to forget
my c%rutches, and can 90 up and down
steps without aid. | am truly a living
wonder, walking ont Of doors without
assistance.
Now, if | can say anything to in
duce those who have suffered as |
have, to try Pink Pills, / shall gladly
do SO. If other like sufferers will try
Pink Pills according TO directions,
they will have reason to thank God for
creating men who are able to conquer
that terrible disease, rheumatism. !
have in my own neighborhood recon-
mended Pink Pills for the after effects
of la grippe, and weak women with i'm
pure blood, and with good results.
Mrs. Todd is very strong in her faith
in the curative powers of Pink Pills,
and says they have brought a poor,
helpless cripple back to her " milk
ing, churning. washing, sewing. knit
ting, and in fact about all Of her
household duties, thanks to DIR. Viii
liams' Pink Pills.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are for sale
by all druggists or may be had by mail
