Curious Freaks of Lightning.

From the village of Coombe Bay,
which lies about four miles from Bath,
there comes a story of curious freak
Of lightning, according to "Pearson's
Weekly" Near the village there is, or
was when the incident occurred, large
wood composed of oak and nut trees. In
the center of this wood there was a
small pasture, quite hemmed in by the
surrounding grove. Here six sheep
were kept by their owner. The flock be-
ing small. the pasture only fifty yards in
extent, contained herbage sufficient for
them. One day while the sheep were in
the field a severe thunder storm came
on, and flash of lightning killed stimuli
taneously every sheep in the pasture.
1t is to be presumed they were mourned
by their owner, but no doubt consider
ing that they might be of some profit to
him, although dead, he sold their bodies
to butcher in the neighboring village
of Coombe Bay. The butcher began
his business of skinning the lightning
struck animals. To the astonishment
of the butcher and his assistant on the
interior of each sheepskin they found
printed an elaborate and faithful pic
ture of the landscape surrounding the
sheep pasture. These natural pictures
were in no respect daubs, but the trees,
the fences, the rocks, the bushes were all
as precisely represented as if photo
graphed upon the skin of the animal
Every detail was exactly drawn The
sheep had been killed while huddled to-
gether in corner and the landscape in
each case was the same the picture be-
ing of that part Of the surrounding
scenery which lay in the path of the
lightning fash which killed the fright
ened animals.

a warrant issued until a complete chain
of evidence was collected, but Healy
thinks that he has succeeded complete
ly. and yesterday the woman was ar
rested by him
Mrs. Elliott lives in the northern part
of the city, near the old Atlantic Gar
dens. and 1t is charged by Healy that
she has enticed to her place young
girls of from 8 to IA years of age and
indicted them into vice. During the
time Healy was investigating the case
of the Silverlock family he found that
the girl. who is now in the County
jail, had some place where she went
and brought home money with which
to buy beer for the crowd. After con-
siderable investigation he found that she
went to the Elliott woman's place. and
by watching 1t he soon ascertained that
other girls went there too, and that old
men and Cinnamon also frequented
the place. He also found that the
woman had gone outside the city in
search of fresh victims and had per-
suaded parents there to let her take
their children to town and buy them
candy, etc. He. is confident that she
cannot escape the web of evidence he
has woven around her, and is deter
mined to prosecute her to the full ex-
tent of the law

A HORRIBLE HAG.
Charged With Enticing Children and
Leading Them Into Vice.

officer Dan Healey of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
has unearthed a horrible state of af-
fairs and has sworn out a warrant for
the arrest of a woman, who, if all that
is charged against her is true, should
spend the remainder Of her life within
prison walls.
The woman was arrested six years
ago, he says, for the same offense as
that now charged-the procuring of
young girls for immoral purposes-and
at that time went by the name of Mrs.
Elliott, but now goes under the name
OF Parker. He has been working on
the case for some time, but she is very
cunning, and he had to be careful not
to alarm her. and the collecting of evil
dence has therefore been slow work.

At Mrs. f. w. Gardiner's on West

doubtedly become very popular, as the

as Is ordinary silk. These laces for bon-
nets or crowns of hats trimmed with
clusters Of flowers are quite in vogue.
Horsehair braids In embroidered gold
and jewels will also be used as bands for
crowns.

the most magnificent artificial French

Great Variety Of Styles Are Displayed
This Season.

in Easter bonnets this season there Is
more than the usual number OF designs Of
frames and trimmings and from close
inspection OF the stock of the various
local houses there does not seem TO be
any one distinct style that has gained
the feminine fancy. The colors in straws,
however, that may be termed the most
popular, are green's of the apple and nile
shades, and am ng the trimmings there
is great demand for EN- mDroidered
chiffon, jeweled bands, clusters of foli-
age and rhinestone iridescents, but for a
hat TO be termed stylish 1t Is essential
that 1t be literally trimmed with long
slender aigrettes.
At Rhodes millinery store on West
Minister street some of the most stylish
and becoming hats OF the season are on
exhibition. Large numbers of Coronet
bonnets trimmed with fruit effects, jet,
and aigrettes are being sold.
Meleiaes bonnets Of the crescent shape
with French lace and cluster OF white
aigrettes form "dream" that is almost
irresistible and have many followers
among the younger looking ladies'.
The Gainsborough hat, with a straw
crown, trimmed with Prince Of Wales
tips and box pieatings OF lace, Is another
natty affair.
Among the turbsns Is an extremely chic
one with foliage, ripe luscious looking
cherries and q standing effect OF black
wheat.
For the horsey woman OF the end OF
the century inclinations, who still desires
TO ~ peal TO the masculine heart by her
sweet feminine beauty, there Is car
riage hat Of florence braid, trimmed with
pink and black roses and with en- inter
mingling custer OF Prince OF Wales feath-
ers and black aigrettes.
There Is also Dresden hat that looks
we'll on the summer girl when she bursts
from her chrysalis in all her glory. IL has
frill OF blue chiffon with side trimmings
OF aigrettes and it's beauty IL added TO by
iridescents.

WRINKLES OF FASHION.
Read This and You'll Rnow What to
Wear.

Easter tide has become unusually re-
garded as the period at which the spring
and summer wardrobe OF fashionable and
well dressed men should be replenished
Accordingly, as the time Is near at hand,
II is appropriate TO give description OF
the prevailing fashions that are to pre-
dom mate this season, and IL is pleasing
to note that nothing of pronounced
public. Take dress suits, for instance,
the most important particular of a we'll
dressed mans wardrobe, the cut Is prac-
tically the same as year ago, and though
a movement has been made TO introduce
the velvet collar. IL has failed, and the
ordinary cloth collar with satin lapel
Is regarded as the proper thing by men
of good taste. The dress coat, however,
has a slight change and that is the tend
ency of the prominent tailors to make the
coats slightly fuller ut the waist with
Just a suggestion Of a wrinkle or two at
the hips. An outside breast pocket is al
so permissible, though I'm the opinion OF
many 1t does not add tone or dignity to
the garment.
White waistcoats have become such a
ixture that they are now almost invari-
able worn with dress coats, being. OF
course double breasted and well round
ed TO the center. The trousers are still
cut slightly, tarering toward the bottom
and have single or double braid down
the leg.
The frock coat in this country Is not IN
evidence as much as II Is in England,
still il Is an essential feature to every well
groo med mans wardrobe.
A new fad In London 10 to have these

coats cut so scant that the edges barely
meet and are held together by pair OF
linked buttons, looping together the
fronts; but as this Is fad and a foppish
one at that; 1t is very doubtful IL 1t will
be accpeted here. II might be suggested
keep 1t buttoned as IT is not \ garment
In which one can lounge and consequent
ly must be worn In such q way as to give
It the.dignity that Is expected and de-
sired.
In the material used In frock coats the
fuzzy rough textiles used year ago have
been entirely abandoned and the colors
in vogue are black or dark grey. 1t is
an olive brown, bat as 1t is rather con-
spicuous the probabilities are that few
will be worn.
