While In England She 10 Taught I

Miss Frances Willard, the great ad-
vocate of the temperance question In
this country, who for years has been
constant speaker for the cause on
the public lecture platform, and
whose books on the subject have
been widely read and circulated, re-
turned from England recently. where
she has been for some months en-
joying a we'll earned rest from her
arduous labors. She is now So years
of age, and she tells it.. She comes

Yellow Asters Not to be Had.

A certain lady in the city had been
reading Mrs. Caifyn's book, THE
Yellow Aster, and was so impressed
with the work that she went to n
local florist and asked for u basket OF
yellow aster seed. 1--WE can give you

yellow aster is n variety almost I'M

The fancy for silk waists fitted
close and covered with guipure lace
is still with us and here is model
for any dark shade OF silk. The lace
is cut out in the neck like pinafore
and edged around with jet. The col
lar and belt are OF velvet and straps
of velvet beginning at the belt in the
back are brought around under the
arms to the front, where they end in
three loops clasped with u jet buckle.
Silk tissue, such as was worn years
ago. has appeared again and is de-
lightfully soft and pretty for fancy
waists.
A pretty afternoon dress is of
mauve brocaded silk, made with n
blouse and apron panel of pale yellow
accordion plated silk and muslin
over yellow silk. Mauve satin forms
the belt, bow and collar, and lace
epaulets fall over the sleeves.

FASHION NOTES.

AL tHo uoW uroS1 SoOus ukV VOV0O
"the prettiest ever seen."
The improved and elaborated shirt
waist Is to have new reign.
Black silk and fancy waists are to
be a fashionable combination.
The popularity of capes OF every
style shows no signs OF waning.
Fashionable mourning has reached
q stage that is almost ridiculous.
There is tendency to keep velvet
In fashion throughout the summer.
Bodices with straps on shoulder
for evening dress are alleged colonial.
Summer silks show an endless
variety and ut unusually reasonable
prices.
Trilby fashions are numerous
enough, albeit they are not wholly
correct.
Hand painted linen fans on exhibit
ton show what will be used next
summer.
The winged bonnet" going right
and left, will be the fashionable
headgear.
There is a fashionable caprice
among women just now for silver
finger rings.
Black. silver tipped bags are now
worn by the girl OF the period dang
ling from the waist belt.
In Paris women are wearing long
black velvet strip that has the effect
OF the clergyman's stole.
Whatever prejudice there may
have been against green as fashion,
able color has disappeared.
White broad cloth embroidered in
gold are newest piano covers. They
are sufficiently elegant to cause talk.
Knickerbocker yellow is the pre-
vailing color in lamp shades. The
effect upon room and company is
soft.
Yellow lace is especially manufact-
ured for trimming the big yellow
lamp shades that are now so fashion
able.
Coats, cloaks and capes show 80
many styles that it is somewhat
difficult to decide the most fashion
able.
Some Of the electric seal capes are
so grotesque and pronounced as to
give the conservative in dress real
shock.
New importations OF black silk
grenadines show manynew and novel
effects, sure to please the girl of the
period.
Military cross belts of white ribbon
worn by the up to date young woman
make them very conspicuous to the
enemy.
In leather goods novelty is
pocketbook and cardcase combina-
ton that is just as useful as it is
unique.
laces are more and more in vogue in
connection with the low cut evening
bodices.
All the newest imported French
gowns have a modified pulled sleeve
that gives the figure a better APP
pearance.
Lorgnettes have become common
and the refore are being abandoned
by the society women who intro
duced them
Feather boas continue fashionable,
allowing for so many limitations of
them. The real ostrich" is very
quickly detected.
Fayette silk is quite the ideal
material for tea gowns and evening
dresses. 1t is kept by the leading
drygoods houses and comes in all de-
sirable shades.
For finishing the bottom of waist
soft bone is unequaled and does
away with the use Of canvas. As
stiffening skirt bone is the best
thing possible and gives the flare
now so desirable.

ACCUSED OF ROBBERY.

A peculiar robbery occurred on the
South Side yesterday afternoon. Ralph
Cottel, a peddler, went into the Hesl
dence of Mrs. Frank Snyder, about II
o'clock, and tried to make a sale Of
some of his goods, which he finally did.
At noon her son came in and he with
the accused started to drinking freely.
They invited him TO stay for dinner,
which he did, after which they took am.
other drink, when Mr.. Snyder went to
work. Mr.. Cottel laid down and Mrs.
Snyder thought he was asleep, and she
left him alone and took her husbands
dinner to him, he being engaged as
fireman at the Riverside mill. She re-
turned soon, but did not awaken CotteE
until late in the evening. About 8
o'clock she noticed her pocketbook,
containing S15 in paper money, had
been stolen. Officer MCGEE was called
in and told the circumstances by Mrs.
Snyder, when he made a diligent
search, but was unsuccessful in finding
the money Cottei was placed under
arrest without warrant, and will be
given a hearing to-day. He claims TO
be from Moundsville, and says he Is
entirely innocent Of the charge brought
against him.

OIL NEWS.

The case Of J. T. Jones VS.. the Audi
tor and Treasurer of Monroe County,
Ohio, which was an action to enjoin thu
taxation Of the interest of the lessee Of
an oil lease as real estate, under the
statutes Of Ohio, had been tried in the
Common Pleas Court at the January
term, 1895, which court held: That
the instruments called oil leases,
granted or conveyed the oil in stu, and
that as oil is a part of the land the
grant is Of real estate, and the leases
are subject to be taxed as the owners
Of the mineral in the land"
The case was appealed by the plain
tiff TO the Circuit Court, where it was
last week again tried, which resulted
in the reversal of the Common Pleas
Court, and the announcement of very
different opinion as to the legal char
acter Of an oil lease, the Circuit
Court holding that the lessee is not
granted the oil in place, but is only
granted the right to enter upon the
lands and search and drill for oil, etc,
and if found in paying quantities, the
right to remove seven-eights thereof,
and deliver the remaining one-eighth
in pipe line TO the credit OF the lessor;
and as the lessee does not own the oil
in the land his interest is not subject
to taxation as real estate. The case
viii be carried to the Supreme Court.
a private telegram was received in
the city last evening to the effect that
an oil well had been drilled in a short
distance south of WOodsfield, O., and
that il was good for several hundred
barrels a day. The telegram was very
meagre, and mp to late hour nothing
could be learned about the well. None
of the oil men in the city knew Of any
we'll in that vicinity that was due, and
none Of them could locate it.

pany held a general stockholders
meeting last night in this city for the
