they had small neat cuffs Good, roOmy

dition of eight bone buttons.
For outing mohair runs close race with
serge so long thought to be the only suit
able thing. Mohair is perhaps not quite so
durable as serge but the lustcr and the
perpetual brightness Of it make it liked.
Still, serge axes the best scagcing gowns.

there was another very stylish suit. The

of black silk Large brown bone buttons

Dark blue nohair made very neat and
pretty suit for fair days. The skirt seams
were laplod, and the basque was made in
the Louis N style, with folds and straps

Another very fetching style of steamer
suit was in pure white duck. The jacket
was tailor finished. The jacket was cut
away at the bottom, showing IA regularly

passed through New Orleans, that you of

nickels and dimes and quarters, or two bits,
as they are sometimes called, your eagles,
and so on. Listen and l will tell you the
nicknames we have for our money. A
farthing is called fudge and ha penny
Imeg. There Is no particular name for
penny. A siXpence is a tanner, shil-

Poker was much played in camp both

ris of Cincinnati was left by Buell. in
charge of Fort McCooll to cover the Union
retreat he and his officers bcguiled the

the deal for "a lat jack pot had been finish
ed, a Confederate shell came crashing into
the room. Out went the lights Every
one dashed for the door. An aid who tells
the story captured the stakes and hastily
thrust them into his pocket Harris got
the handful of men safely out. After
hard ten days march, during which no
one took off his clothes, Harris joined
Buell's army. 1.-The first thing l did, )"

New fashions just now consist moro in
the new models of making up the goods

is too early for fall and winter goods ex-
ccpt such as have already been mentioned

as ten seams. These tend to give an APP
pcarance of slenderness to the figure, which
is next best to the reality. Princess dresses
are also seen both for house and street.
For the house they are cut with a demi-
train, and for the street they are walking
length. Walking dresses will be much
shorter than they have been, some of the
finest gowns being cut to clear the ground
three inches. This is one of the new ideas

one case hid above full frill of narrow
butter colorcd lace This lace was too
pretty and too useful in producing dressy
effects with little trouble to be given up, and
so we sec it in frills and in plain bands on
many of the gowns for late summer and
fall, and it is said that it will continue in
popularity. The new trimmings show
many new effects in laces There are lace
insertion bands, with little figures cut out
of stamped leather and fastened thereon.

Some butter and leather colored laces in
the thick, hard varieties have amber col

Black lace has very fine cut jet beads sewed
in to define the pattern. These are very
costly. Some of the finest grenadines have
spangles sewcd along the pattern, and the
figures from the delicate printed chiffon
arc cut out and applied to bands of fine

small beads or really jet facets. silk null

ABSOLUTELY PURE
CASE OF CARL KLEMME.
PLACED UNDER ARREST, HE SOON
SECURES BAIL.
Not Return Per Australia Pro-
ceedings.

Capt. Carl Klemme was arrested
at o'clock Monday evening OH a
warrant sworn out by Marshal A.
M. Brown. He did not leave by
the Australia and expected arrest.
His bail was fixed at $1,000. A
bond was fixed up by lawyer
Davis, and the names of Emil
Klemme ana Seely l. Shaw secured
upon it. This security was approx
ed by the Marshal and at e,3o the
captain was released.
Klemme will make no fight
whatever. He purposes merely to
make an explanation of his appear
ance here, and to claim that he had
not time to get permit from the
Islands.
Attorney General Smith said
late yesterday: I'VE have no objec-
ton to Klemme's return to Homo
lulu. Personally, we are pleased
to have him back. But he has
violated the law by returning with
out a permit. A permit would
have been readily given had he APP
piled for it in the right way. This
he has never done"
Klemme says: ~ cannot blame
Mr.. Smith nor Marshal Brown.
They are officers and must enforce
obedience to the laws. Had they
allowed me to come in without hind
rance, it would have left the door
open to others whom the Govern
ment does not want back.
But, aside from the reason Of
sickness in my family, l was moi
aware Of this Dangerous Persons
Act, or that in returning was
violating a law. That act was
passed after l left here last winter
l knew 1 should have permit, bu,
thought that a matter of form
adopted by the Government and moi

District Court at 9 o'clock this
morning. w. o. Smith and A.
