cabin fitted for your lady and every
thing for your comfort.
On this we separated presently, and I,
joining my friends at our inn, laid the
matter before them. There being still
some light, we then went forth ON the
mole, and there we quickly spied the
White Moon, which, though small
craft, looked very clean, and with q fair
cabin house, built up in the Moorish
fashion upon the stern. And here, sit
ting down, we all agreed to accept this
offer, Mr.. Goodwin being not less eager
for the venture than we, who had so
much more to dread by letting it sill
though his pass had yet a fortnight to
run.
So the next day l repaired to the rock,
and meeting Haroun, as he was called,
l closed with him and put couple Of
ducats in his hand for earnest money.
'Tis WELL" says he, pocketing the
money, after kissing it and looking up
to heaven with "Dill an" which
means sit is from God. " "We will not
meet again till the day of Ramadan at
midnight, lest we fall under suspicion.

The Last of His Race.

Important officials sometimes forget that
there are persons who can afford to disre-
gard their Importance. A purse proud old
nobleman was travelling through the rural
districts of Sweden. One day he stopped
his carriage at a country tavern and called
out in an imperious tone:
"Horses, landlord Horses at oncep'
II am very much panied to inform you
that you will have to wait over an hour be-
fore fresh horses can be brought up" re
piled the landlord calmly.
Howl" violently exclaimed the noble
man. "This to mel My man, demand
horses Immediately"
Then observing the fresh, sleek looking
ones which were being led up to another
carriage, he continued:
For whom are those horses?"
"They were ordered for this gentleman"
replied the landlord, pointing to n tall, slim
individual few PAGES distant.
II say, my man." called out the noble
man, Twill you let me have those horses if

MILLINERY AND TRIMMINGS
Bright Colors In Miilinery-Buttons Costly
Enough For the Jewel Case.

Bright COlors In AUTHORIZATIONS Costly
Enough For the Jewel Case.
Vatican effects are seen not only in fans
and in the Powered designs of dress goods,
but in millinery. One of the newest
French models is in this style. 1t is fiat,
with a medium width brim turned up
somewhat at the back. 1t is set forward
over the face and is trimmed with flowers,
feathers and ribbons, II cluster of trim
ming being arranged under the brim be-
hind to rest upon the hair. The whole
thing is very piquant and attractive, but
suitable only for young and pretty face.
A great deal of color and ornamentation
will be the rule in tho millinery world
duringthe coming season. Nothing is too
brilliant or elaborate to be fashionable.
Color is, after all, in spite of the dictum of
a certain cult which affects to consider 1t
vulgar, very attractive and artistic ele
ment, but it must be harmonious and be-
coming. Rich tones, we'll combined, are
a delight to tho eye and ought to be appre-
ciatod at their true value.
Buttons go from the extreme of largest
size to tiny dots used with lavish profusion.
The most costly are used to fasten bands
and revers on outdoor dresses, on cavalier
coats and mantles. Some of these, of sill

very seriously to compass our return to
Elche, our traders passes--that is, Daw
sons and mine-being run out within a
week, and we knowing full well that
we should not get them renewed after
this late menace of an English attack
upon the town. So one after the other,
we tried every captain in the port, but
all to no purpose. And one of these did
openly tell me the dey had forbidden
any stranger to be carried out of the
town, on pain Of having his vessel con-
fiscated and being bastinadoed to his
last endurance.
'And so, says he, lifting his voice,
eff you offered me all the gold in the
world, would not carry you furlong
hence" But at the same time, turning
his back on a january who stood hard
by, he gave me a most significant wink
and little beck, as if were to follow
him presently.
And this l did as soon as the january
was gone, following him at distance
through the town and out into the sub
urbs at an idle, sauntering gait. When
we had got out beyond the houses to the
side of the river | have mentioned. he
sits him down on the bank, and l. COM
ing up, sit down beside him as if for a

to the right and left to make sure we
were not observed asks me what we
would give to be taken to Elche, and |
answered that we would give him his
price so we could be conveyed shortly.
when would you go?" asks he.
"Why," says I, ''our passes expire at
shutdown after the day of Ramadan, so
we must get hence by hook or by crook
before that.

PREVAILING MODES.
Sleeves Declining In Size, but Exhibit
Variety of Trimming.

Canvas is becoming more and more pop
ular and bids fair to supersede the ubiqui-
tous cropon by and by.
Embroidery is one of the features of sea-
sonable costumes. There are many new
dresses shown with skirt front, vest collar,
cuffs, wide revers and belt edged with
needlework. This may be In the color Of
the fabric, or, what Is better liked In
wreaths, garlands and bouquets in natural
tints.
The Louis Quinze and Louis Seize
epochs continue to inspire fashion, and
color and elaborate trimming are features
of these artificial but charming styles.
The decrease in the size of sleeves, al
though decided, is gradual and the change
to really tight arm coverings and narrow
shoulders is likely to seem by no means
abrupt. A great deal of variety in form Is
permissible, diverse ways of draping being
employed and an infinite variety Of ar
rangements of buttons, bows, ruffles, plait-
ings and rovers affording ample range for
the fancy. Some of the newest sleeves
have the fullness drawn up almost to the
shoulder by a buckle or bow, the rest of
the arm being shown smoothly fitted
Bodces arc very much trimmed, wheth-
er they are tight or of the blouse form.

REMARKABLE DREAMS.
Premonitions of the Death of Butte City
Woman and Her Sister.
ITO be CO ntinued.1

A short time ago Mrs. Thomas J. JEFF
fries of Butte City, Mon, was killed at a
railroad crossing while out driving. Many
of the friends of the deceased lady now re-
call presentiment she had of her approach
ing death and in the manner she met 1t.
Only a few days before her death she called
on several of her neighbors and told them
she had an indescribable feeling of impend-
ing danger, and that she knew she would
toon die.
Her friends tried to persuade her that
there was nothing to fear from such pre-
sentiment and urged her to dismiss the
matter from her mind. She would not be
dissuaded, however, and requested the
friend to whom she was talking to interest
herself in the child when she was dead; also
named certain of her neighbors whom she
desired to prepare her body for burial. At
the same time she expressed a wish that no
other persons be permitted to touch he-
body. In fact, she made all suggestions
for her funeral and the care of the child she
would leave motherless.
A day or two before the fatal accident
Mrs Jeffries was out buggy riding with
party. During the drive they had occasion
to cross a railroad track. A train was ap-
preaching from the distance, and although
so far away that there was no danger the
lady thought the accident she so wildly ex-
pected was about to overtake her and near
ly tainted in consequence. When all danger
had passed, her attention was called to the
evident absurdity of her fears, but she SIM
ply maintained that the time had not yet
arrived, and that sooner or later her pre-
sentiment would prove true.
AS a further evidence of the lady's
strange power to forecast and receive pre-
monitions Of impending calamities, it is re-
lated by one of her friends that some time
ago she had vivid dream Of funeral
passing her door, She asked some one as
to whose funeral it was The answer, as
she heard it IN her dream, was that the
dead person was her sister. Mrs. Jeffries
felt that the dream portended something
unfortunate, but was hardly prepared for
the telegram which she received next day
| telling of the de / of her sister, which
occurred at Der hc.-e in the east.
Mrs. Jeffrics was the last of family of
children. A brother CT hers was also killed
| in an accident several Sears ago, and it is
related that by the same strange gift she
had premonition of his death,-Pittsburs

There are no decided blouses any more, a
very slight fullness being now character
lied by that name.
AS the season advances, the full vest of
silk, mousseline do sole, lawn or lace will
replace the close vest with Louis Quinze
bodices.
Skirts will continue to be tight around
the hips and wide at the foot, but will he
softer and will have less stiffening in
them. This is decided move in the right
direction. Nothing except fashion could
possibly recommend the heavy, angular,
rigid skirts that have been prevailing of
late. They are uncomfortable and un-
wholesome, difficult to make and unpleas
ant to wear.
The sketch shows gown of pearl gray
faille the godet skirt of which is embroid-
cred with steel and ornamented around
the foot with oblique straps of dark green
ribbon. The Louis Quinze bodice has a
full basque and double revers embroidered
with steel. The bodice opens over a draped
flchu of ivory gauze trimmed with lace.
The sleeves are ornameDted with knots at
the elbow and frills of lace at the wrist.
The buttons are of paste.

SiL YER GOING UP.

The worll is beco ming convinced

THE "CYCLONE" ECLIPSED.

Many a callow American sophom ore
has racked his pretrudiag brain over
the question of what would happen
should one irresistible force meet an
other irresistible force going in a op-
posite direction. But the question is
now settled. Cyclone Davis, of Texas,
has met Col. Tobe Scrutchins, also OF
Texas, and the result is that the irr' =.
sistable "Cyclone" is In an eclipse.
The air on the Rio Granie plains was
for time full of hair, wheels of
various sizes making from one to six
teen revolutions a second, clouds of
figures, dust from musty and long
cracked jokes, and other debris, and the
vaulted heaven was assailed with the
clash of calamity howlings until the
loud thunder-claps of sound re-echoed
and reverberated from the land of the
Beefheads to the argentiferous fast
ness of Colerado's eternal hills, on to
Join the wall of the mournful Pacific
along the shores of Oregon and back
again. But with all this greatness
"Cyclone" has achieved, and the glory
he won while recently in this state of
the sunset, his star will not shine by
the side of the Hon. Scrutchins,
il the following fron the New York
Sun is to be accepted. Another
mightier than he, one by the side of
whom he cannot shine in the same
day, has sprang up to preach for popu-
liam and may favor Oregon with his
presence next fall. The Sun says:
"The Hon. Cyclone Davis rules the
world of intellect no longer, or exerts
but a diyided sway. A new star, and
one of superior magnitude, now gilt
ters from the populist firmament. Col.
Tobe Scrutchins is now the first bull
wark and ornament of Texas populism.
AS Cimabue gave way to Giotto. SO
Cyclone Da7is gives way to Tobe
Scrutchins."

ST LOUIS SECOND CYCLONE

The city of St. Louis was visited the
other day by furious cyclone, which
tore down lofty buildings and took
human life without mercy. Sympathy
was extended to the municipality
which had been the victim of such great
anger of the elements, says the East
Oregonian. But a cyclone of indigna-
tion has now swept towards that same
city which will cause greater loss than
that occasioned by the fury OF the
physical elements. 1t is the cyclone
of public Indignation at the gross in
suit to the colored race offered by re-
fusing hotel Accommodations to the
negro delegates to the republican
national convention. The American
people will have no patience with such
narrow prejudice. They have accepted
the emancipation of the colored race
as an act based on right and justice; a
measure prompted by the eternal laws
of equity; step in the direction of
levelling all distinctions of class, and
putting men of all color and previous
condition on basis where they can
struggle for high places. and win them,
when possessed of the necessary indi-
viduality. This incident is the most
striking in our social life for genera.
tion past. It will do more to advance
the interests of the negro than ten
years of platform orations and news

American people have already hurled

NOT DISCOUhAGING

The republican plurality in Wasco
county has been variously estimated at
from 200 to 300, but the recent election
demonstrated the fact that it has a
clear majority of PA over both the
other parties, and a plurality OF 755
over the democrats. The vote for SUI
preme judge indicated very nearly the
relative strength of the various parties,
and is about the only index to the
political complexion of the voters.
While there was no effort to draw
party lines on this Office, voters
generally expressed their political
preference for supreme Judge, all three
the candidates being we'll and favor
ably known to the masses, and it is
reasonable to suppose that few if any
republicans, democrats or populists
refused to support the nominees OF
their party for this Office. hence we
can only presume that each received
tho full vote Of his party, and that
there are 755 more republican than
democratic voters in the county.
With such plurality as this to over.
como, the recent democratic nominees
for county Offices may consider they
did exceptionally we'll, and received a
flattering support. Not one of them
hut received more than his real party
strength, and had the republican plu.
rality been no greater than It has bean
