sTEINBRECHER SENT ON.

The case of burglary against Fred.
Steinbrecher was called in police court
yesterday afternoon, and after the hear
ing of part of the evidence for the com
monwealth the case was rested. The de-
Tense offered no testimony, but demurred
to the evidence of The prosecution. The
prisoner, however, was held to await the
action of the grand jury, which meets
early next week. The case against Wal.
ter Jamison was postponed until Septem-
Der at 2:3O o'clock. 1t is believed by
some that this band of law-breakers are
guilty of having robbed the Fincastle
postoilice. The belief is founded on the
description of the suspected parties com
pairing favorably with Steinbrccher and
Jamison. \ warrant has also been sworn
out against Steinbrecher, charging him
with the theft Of the bride and saddle
found in his house

BLIND eIcYcLlST.
He Rides 100 Miles Guided Only by His
Sense OF Sound,

sense OF Sounus
A blind boy bicyclst of Oakland, Cal,
performed a remarkable feat week
or so since by riding from Oakland to
San Jose on his bicycle and back again,
century rum along the highway,
guided only by the sound of the bell on
the bicycle of Il friend who accompa.
MED him. He has been stone blind for
fourteen years. His name IL n. l..
Perry, and he Is about seventeen years
old. He was student In the Berkeley
Institute for the Deaf and Dumb ana
Blind, and while there was u leader In
field sports and In the gymnasium. He
graduated with hOnOrs, ana IL now u
student in the State University. His
loss of sight Is compensated for In some
degree by an abnormal sense Of hear
ing.
When all the young men Of his &c.
Quaintance began to ride the bicycle he
became greatly interested In the ma
chine, and was determined to own and
ride one himself. He was confident
that II he could once learn to mount
and pedal and dlsmOunt his sense of
hearing would enable him to ride with
perfect safety and with great enjoy.
ment. His first lessons proved u very
trying experience, and he had one sc.
riOus fall. But her persisted, and was
soon able TO mount, maintain his pOlse
and pedal around the arena of the BIZ
cycle school with the ease and assur.
ance of an expert. Then he gradually
ventured out on the roads In the sub.
urbs of Berkeley. He knew the road
well, and his keen hearing enabled him
to avoid collisions with pedestrians ana
vehicles practically as well as though
he could see.
A week or so ago the notion of max.
ing the trip from Oakland to San Jose,
a favorite century rum" occurred to
him, and he at once made arrangements
for the experiment. He got a fellow
student, who Is, of course, not blind
TO accompany him and act as pilot.
A code of signals on the bicycle bell
was arranged to indicate various condi.
tons likely to be met on the trip, such
as unusual distractions, the turns In
the road and the like. The road Is not
one of the best, even for a rider possess.
cd of all his faculties. but the blind
boy, pilOted by his friend, made the
trip in safety with much pleasure.
IL the fifty miles of the ride to San
Jose the blind blcyclist had three falls
from his machine, but they were not
serious, and he remOunted ut once and
continued the trip. The slipping of his
wheel into deep ruts caused the fall
in each instance. After resting Il day
In San Jose the blind rider made the
ffty-mile run back again to Oakland,
pilOted by his friend.

than any other material ever made, and /
came away quite converted to the belief.
may change my mind next week, and
hereby reserve the right to do SO il want
to or find something prettier than these
Let me tell you about them. There was a
stone gray cloth of the new satin woven
surface This was made in SO perfect a
manner that one could scarcely see seam
The skirt hung in loose round folds, but
fitted closely over the hips without a wrin-
kle. The waist was in form of short
cutaway basque, very faring all around
The fronts were open all the way down
four inches, allowing full vest of maize
brocade. The stock was of the same and
had full ruffle at the throat. The sleeves
were gigots and quite moderate In size.
No seam or wrinkle showed, and the edges
were finished with as great care as that
shown in mems finest wear. This gown
had short but very full military cape Of
the same cloth, interlined and faced with
the brocade. The medici collar and up
per cape were made of stone gray velvet,
edged with a scanning of very narrow
braided passementerie, without beads, in
ivory white. There was another gown,
not quite as severe as the other, but even
more pleasing The material was cloth Of
dull color, between slate and plum. The
cut Of the skirt was similar to that of the
other. Around the bottom were two rows
OF disks cut out of garnet plush and sewed
on like buttons. The waist was of garnet
brocade, and it was made with slight
blouse effect, with a belt of the same and
gold buckle. The waist opened over a
vest front Of white lace over garnet There
was stock collar, with it's ruffle of lace
above. The sleeves were plain gigots, but
with small, upturned cuffs Of the garnet.
There was rough cheviot in snuff
brown, and the finish of it was remark
able. The rough pattern was in crossbars,
forming plaids, and these were SO evenly
matched that it was triumph of thu dress,
makers art. In this case the bodice was
tight fitting, made with a sharp point in
front and fastening invisibly all the way
There was no trimming whatever on waist
or sleeves. The back was In the form of
little position.
There are blouses, French waists, spen-
GERS, surplice and baby waists There are
waists with elaborate trimming, and 9th
ers with very little, and some with no
garniture at all. So no one need bewail
her obligation to wear an unbecoming
style. 1t is the same with the coats. The
newest in design are cut sack shape,
half fitted, and some are three-quarter
length. The fronts, shoulders and deep
cuffs are frequently very elaboratsly trim
med with passomenterie, velvet or plush
sometimes in plain facings and revers
and quite as often in beautiful applique
designs. These coats are seen in brown,
black and very dark green, and the ma
terial is either melton or cheviot in wide
deep vale.
Velvet is seen on almost all of the spring
costumes except the strictly tailor finished,
and even in some of them there is very
little. Entire costumes are made of col
ored velvet. Sometimes ono sees very ex-
travagant costumes Of that fabric A beigs
