 Our friend, Captain Velenzuela, is said to have been a bandit in his younger days, and a very successful one, but, becoming tired of the busi- ness, surrendered himself to the au- thorities, obtained pardon and enlist ed in the rurales of Durango, where his nerve energy and shrewdness soon brought him to the front and ultimate ly put him at the head of the force, He isn't handsome man, this ex- highwayman, but he dresses with a good deal of care, and, unlike most MeXicans, is neat about his person. His jacket was of the finest linen lawn, spotless from the laundry, over white satin vest, and a handsome watch chain dangled from his pocket. He wore big revolver and a belt of cart ridges carelessly, his trousers and his shoes were very tight, according to the fashion of well-dressed men down here, and he posed patiently for his portrait, which did not quite satisfy him, and was pronounced mo bueno," which means mo good"
 The prisoner was picturesque per- son, with an abundance of bright-col- ored flags, and looked for all the world as if he had just made up for comic | opera, His nonchalance was impress sive. He sat in the third-class car, op- posite rurale, with big rifle over his arm, and smoked cigarettes calmly, as curious people stood around and stared at him. There was padre on the train, who drew up close to his side and whispered few words in his ears, but 1 he received them with indifference, and didn't seem concerned for the welfare of his soul.
 At other stations further on more | prisoners were placed on the train, so that our bandit had company, and they

 one would wish to meet in the noun tains with a full pocket. Some of them 1 had robbed ranches, some had stolen
 cattle and sheep and horses, while the
 rest had committed similar crimes, and as a penalty they were banished to the | Sierra Madre mountains to fight Indi-
 ans for four years, which is a good deal | better than shooting the robbers.-Chi-

Then the body of the wrap in back and front was entirely covered with applqued olive satin ribbon. The stock collar had a wired trimming of pale green taffeta edged with dark green velvet and the same ribbon trirn- med the shoulders and gave the ends in front, being fastened with orna- ments. Cape sleeves of embroidered velvet were added, and at 9 little dis tance the wrap would pass for a jaunty cape.
 Much has been said of late against side combs, but they are still being im- ported by the choicest firms and the elegants are discarded. They are not often worn merely for ornament, and long ones, curved to shape to the head and with the backs crusted with jewel points, are favorites Amber in beau tiful pieces is used and is equally pretty in either fair or dark hair. Women with well shaped heads can always en1- phasize the pretty curve by the placing of side comb and she who is afflicted somewhere with a line that is too long, may by a delft arrangement of the comb across the direction of such a line de- crease it's ugly effect. All these advan- tages count for the side comb, to say nothing of the attachment of the girl to it who has not yet been able to make her hair grow out so that without the help of side comb it will stay any where.

FASHION NOTES.

New ideas in wraps are coming into view every day. Among the new de- signs in storm coats is stunning af- fair of wool sacking, very loosely fitted and belted in at the waist. A big pair of buttoned over pockets and a gener- ally loose and rough finish make the effect of this garment and very swag- ger effect it is The buttons are big, of wood or stained bone, or the whole thing laps loosely double in front and no buttons show, the belt seeming to keep the whole thing together. It Is a little cruel to warn that such coat, baggy as 1t is and of loose and rough sacking cloth, is suitable only to tall, slim folks

In some things the Japanese point of view is very different from that of other countries. The track of the Kama-Kura railroad is not fenced in, and crossings rarely have gates. A boy carrying child on his back, straying on the line, was recently knocked down by an engine, and both boy and child were killed. Thereupon the railway company prosecuted the father for all lowing his children to trespass, and he was fined ten yen. Some time ago at Osaka, a COW was run over, and the owner was fined two hundred yen besides losing his COW.

It is noted in Boston that the Roman Catholics are showing more activity in church extension than are the Protest ants. The number of Catholic churches in the city has grown to forty seven, and five or six more are proposed in the near future. On the other hand, Protestant churches in Boston dol not show much increase in building. There has been considerable talk of late about the necessity of reducing the number of orthodox Congregational churches. The South and Union churches have agitated the matter without, at pres ent, any result. The Church of the Unity and the Shawmut, both Uni tartan, have also talked about uniting. Another thing noted about Catholic churches in Boston IS that no one of them has been abandoned because of a shifting of the population, while the contrary is true about churches of other denominations.

TILLMAN AT CHICAGO.
He and Gov. Altseld Will Lead
Extreme Deleratex

He and Gov. AltEeld VIII Lead the
Extreme DeleEntes..
1t Is learned here that Senator Tillman
will be early on the ground at Chicago and
that he will figure conspicuously with Alt
geld and others in opposition to any COM
promise. He and Altgeld will lead the most
extreme of all the delegates. Senator Till
mans supporters for the presidential nomi-
nation. mainly from South Carolina, are
hopeful that he may get the nomination be-
fore the scrimmage is over at Chicago
They are counting on the impossibility of
any one candidate being able to get the
votes Of other candidates, and think there
may be a deadlock from which Tillman
will profit. 1t will be their policy to keep
the silver forces divided as long as possible
in the hopes that Tillman may be centered
on as the man.
There is much more probability of Till
man as a vice presidential nominee than
as heading the ticket. The chief thing in
the way Of this is that he has said to sew
efal people that he would not accept second
place If it was offered him on IL to
plate. If he can't get first place he be-
lieves he can do more for the white metal
on the floor of the Senate than elsewhere.

II Mr.. Cleveland Returns fn Time

Most of the principal officers OF the ad-
ministration are out of the city at present.
and the exact whereabouts of at least three
of them il a carefully-Guardied secret of the
most sa cred character. The President and
Secretary Carlisle are cruising around on
the government light house tender Violet
and, so far as known. have not been heard
from since their quiet departure from the
capital Sunday evening. They started down
the Potomac, ostcnsibly on a fishing ex-
petition but whether they have since re-
mained in that river or have extended their
cruise into the Chesapeake, or beyond to
the fish-abounding waters Of North Caro-
lina is lone of those things that no fellow
can find out"
Although by no means certain, IT is prob
able that the stanch little craft, with its
distinguished passengers. will return to this
city either this evening or tomorrow. III Is
possible. however. that the presidential
party may conclude to prolong its outing
until the END of the week or the beginning
of EeXt. In case they get back in time. a
meeting of the cabinet will be held Friday.
Otherwise none will be held until next week
The other abSenteeS are Secretary Oiney,
Secretary Lamont, Secretary Smith and
Secretary Morton. Secretary Lamont Is at
Seabrieht, N. j.; Secretary Smith is at
Athens. and Secretary Morton was in New
York al last accounts.
The case Of Secretary Olney is like that
of the presidential party, only more So in
asmuch his movements cannot be stated
positively, even in the most general way.
All that is known on the subject is that
he is not on duty at the department. He
is believed, however, to have gone north
on a private mission. Inasmuch as tomor-
row will be diplomatic day, or, in other
words the day set apart by the Secretary
of State for the reception of the diplomatic
representatives of foreign governments. II
is generally expected that he Will be at the
department on that day.

Wilson and Attorney General Harmon We're
at their desks as usual today. The last
named, however, only returned this morn
ing from a visit to his home in Cincinnati
on personal business. None of the men,
bers of the cabinet will finally arrange for
his summer vacation until after the Presi-
dent goes away on his long vacation on the
classic shores of Buzzards Bay. The Pres
ident will probably leave for Gray Gables
about the lst Of July. and will probably not
return until October next. unless his pres
ence at the national capital shall be sooner
required by a public eXigency, such as

that absolute similarity of writing was a

taken advantage OF that opinion and had
tried ID prove that words in the will We're
absolute fac-smiles of corresponding words

curious he said, IL tracing had been re-

GENTRY on TRIAL.
Brooke, Who Cleared Mrs. Fleming,
is His Counsel.

iS His Counsel.
PHILADELPHIA, June 24.-The trial of
Gentry for the killing CT Margaret Drys-
GALE, known as "Madge Yorke," was con-
tinued today before Judge Yerkes. Charles
w. Brooke of New York, who successfully
defended Mrs. Fleming, appeared as SEN
ior counsel for Gentry. Opposed to him
was District Attorney Graham. When
court opened the gallery and body Of the
room was crowded; nearly as much interest
icing taken as in the famous Holmes trial.
Gentry seemed on the verge Of collapse, and
his aged mother, who sat near the pris-
oner, frequently buried her face in her
hands while District Attorney Graham
outlined the case to the jury. DIR. Henry
Sidebotham was the first witness called
and told in detail the result of his autopsy
on the body Of Miss Yorke. There was a
buzz of excitement when the next witness
Miss Ida Clarke, the young woman who
as in company with Miss Yorke on the
night of the murder, stepped to the wit
ess stand She detailed the story of the
shooting, identified the hat and feather
boa worn by Miss Yorke on the night Of
the murder, and described the clothes
worn by Gentry. In cross-examination by
Mr.. Brooke she said she had only known
the dead girl two weeks, and mad never
seen Gentry but once before.
Ex-Magistrate Mill.gan identified the
statement made by Gentry while the latter
was in the German Hospital. and after an
objection by Mr.. Brooke. which was over
ruled by the court, the statement was ad-
mtted in evidence In the statement he
admits the killing, but tells of his terrible
mental condition for several days previous
to the shooting.
