Handsome
Specimens OF
FairIe Glass

1t isn't bur a week or two ago that 1
heard of the new kind of glass that had
Just been discovered and put on the mar
ket by Tiffany in New York and now you
can buy the same novel and beautiful
ware right here In San Francisco. 1t is
called fairle glass. I saw yesterday a
beautiful gem in fairle glass. In color 1T
was of a warm golden yellow and through
it passed odd fantastic broken lines of
black. l at once desired to own it, but
| alasi it was quite too expensive. There
were dozens of pieces standing on the
same table, not any two alike, and a cozy
little room was fitted up with shelves all
round covered with the most marvellous
specimens of glass you can conceive of, all
made here in America, and it is not his
countrymen alone who gaze with wonder
and admira ton on Mr.. Tiffany's great dis
covery. for all connoisseurs and artists are
striving to find appropriate adjectives to
express their delight.
AT home ana abroad many of the great
est museums of the world have purchased
collections of fairle glass for permanent
exhibitions. Besides Mr. Tiffany has been
made member of L'Ecole des Beaux
Arts of France and of the Society of Fine
Arts of Japan.
Objects made of this glass are not only
wonderful in color and novel in form but
they also have other beauties given them
by carving, by cutting through one layer
OF glass down to one of another color. by
enrichments of metallic lusters and iri-
descent irradiations of scintillating colored
lights that rival the most brilliant opal
Iusters that are far beyond any metalline
effects heretofore obtained.
A small scent bottle looked as though il
had been fashioned out of a most superb
agate. 1t measured about four inches and
was worth $l2. Many of the pieces on ex-
hlbition are coined from rare Greek, Ro-
man and Pompeiian models. One stand
for matches looked quite like an ordinary
piece of silver, but as if by magic everv
color in the rainb bow seemed to pass over
it in quick succession the moment sub.
jected it to an examination.
Every object 1 saw was WORTHY of
place in or on ones cabinet, and none but
artists could have so blended colors and
tints or have so introduced the rarest and
most exquisite of flowers under fairy-like
glaZes. Think of all the beautifuI glass
and china you have ever seen or dreamed
acoos onu imagine glasses Mt Tor Queen
Iltlnia to sip the morning dew from, and
vases worthy to hold the fairest, rarest
blossoms that bloom and you will have
some idea of this new achievement in
glass.

Dainty Mourning
GOWN Of India Silk

The front of the round waist was like that
of a shirt waist and unusually good silver
studs held it together down the front. The
rundown collar was simple little black
silk affair, daintily em broidered in vlne-
like pattern with white silk. The cuffs
were treated in a similar manner. Very
chic was black serge made with the usual
unadorned skirt and bodice which had
brown linen vest and across it, in military
style, were draped black silk cords. A
round black straw hat with three short
but excellent ostrich feathers. and a roll
of white mousseline de sole about
the crown. suited the wearer admirably.
A certain little air surrounds the Signora
Duse which makes her especially interest
ing, so a few lines concerning her from an
English weekly are worthy OF your atten-
ton:
"Signora Duse seems to have created a
more favorable impression as regards her
stage gowns in America than she did in
London. One critic discovers that she has
perfect genius for dress. Perhaps the
great actress has developed this lately; 1t
was scarcely apparent when she visited US
last year. In 'Magda, when playing IN
New York, she wore but two gowns. The
one a morning dress of black satin, with
front of gathered white chiffon. The
long tight sleeves of lace appeared from
beneath dropping sleeve OF black satin
lined with purplish pink. Scarfs of black,
lined with pink, hung from the shoulders
and knotted at the waist, and fell to the
hem of the skirt. La Duse's evening gown
had full plain skirt of white moire. The
low bodice was yelled across the front and
round the V-shaped decolletage at the back
with yellow lace, which terminated on the
left hip in bow and long sash ends OF
Grape edged with lace. The only touch of
color was large cluster of crimson roses
and foliage. The opera wrap of rich white
brocade was made with huge sleeves and
revers, and was lined with white satin"
At the present moment there is a perfect
craze for straw berries at the French
capital. as it is said that Nine. Talllen,
who was noted far and near for the purity
of her complexion, always had twenty
pounds of strawberries crushed in her
bath.

The Comtesse de Castellane looked posi-
lively pretty at the fancy-dress ball re-
Gently given by the Duchess de Rohan in
Paris. The American Countess appeared
as the Marquise de Pompadour as Boucher
represents her; her gown was an exact re-
production. very rich and costly. The
gowns at Newport this season are ravish-
ingly beautiful. Vogue's correspondent at
this delightful spot so admirably describes
certain CONNECTION that 1 cannot resist
giving you the description she writes:
Mrs. o. G. is wearing for the Sec
ond time the gown she christened at the
Chantilly Derby. You are to fancy you
are looking at very odd and very yellow
lace skirt, combination of needlework on
lace-a charming design, which is well
built over a yellow taffetas. The
bodice and sleeves are en- suite, as SIM
pie as possible. quite untrimmed, ex-
cept the laces at throat and wrists.
An over dress of Cairo green
twilled foulard gives the gown its cachet.
On the skirt you are TO imagine seven
graduated foulard bands descending from
the belt, which, by the way, is only twist
of much darker velvet on the same shade,
to the hem. Each band is finished on the
bottom by five half-inch tucks. few
inches below the belt is another group OF
five tucks, and several inches below these
is another group of five more, the effect OF
the whole being extremely new and chic.
A double foulard box pleat, tucked cross
wise in groups of three is laid down the
back of the bodice, and on each side OF
the fronts the same tucked effect is carried
out. A jabot of lace falls below the double
ruff in front. The ruff quilting Is OF green
lisse with lace 1ounce plisse inside. The
hat or turban was such beauty A pc
culiar yellow straw almost smothered in
ilies-of-the-valley, OF a kind that are In
greenish bud, with an outstanding green
osprey at the back rising above the yellow
tulle and lily cache-peigne. No more
charming toilette could one devise, for be-
comingness and that happy milieu OF
service for various occasions.

own game, for they introduced the half
raters to US about year ago. To give you
an idea of the outlines and construction of
such craft, it is best to read the descrip-
ton of the Ethelwynn from Vogue: "She
Is in every respect pretty craft. Her
stern is carried out into sharp point, her
overhang is used in lieu of bowsprit and
her counter runs into a neatly shaped
transom. The total weight of the hull is
1856 pound or about twenty-four pounds to
every foot of designed load length. The
keel is of spruce, with no stern knee, the
timbers running from end to end in one
clean piece. The transom is of mahogany; I;
the frames of steamed rock elm; main
frames of the mast, the bulkheads, natu-
raj crooked hackmatack, a wood more
durable in water than the best oak. The
planking is of white cedar one-eighth inch
thick, laid diagonalIy. and one-fourth inch
mahogany laid fore-and-aft with union
silk between the inner and outer skins"

At San Rafael during the past week not
few pretty frocks were commented on,
but many wonder why greater number
of muIls and organdies are not worn, for
just now San Rafael is assuredly warm
and sheltered spot. One young and slender
matron in half mourning looked smart in
an exceptionally fine black India silk COW
cred with very small white dots. The
skirt was absolutely plain and well hung.

The Shah the Eighteenth Victim.

The shah was the eighteenth sovereign
or head of state assassinated in this
century. 1t was the Emperor Paul,
murdered in 1901 by palace conspirators
who led off. Next came the Sultan Sc
linn, in 1908. There was then long in
terval, extending to 1881. when Capo-
distrias, president of the provisional
government Of Greece, was shot at and
then dispatched by blow from yata-
CHAN at Nauplia. At the end Of another
interval, extending to 1864, the Duke
OF Parma was assassinated.
The turn Of transatlantic presidents
began with the president Of Hayti, in
1859. The South American series in
cluded Colonel Balta president Of Peru,
in 1872; Moreno, president Of Ecuador,
in the same year, and his successor,
Guttierez, in 1878. President Lincoln
was the first North American president
to be assassinated; Abdul Aziz was
bled to death in warm bath i'm 1874
President Garfield was shot in 1880
and Alexander / blown up in 1881.

Men Who Court DEATH


Probably the most remarkable ARMY
division in the world is the Foreign le-
gion OF France. 1t is this legion which
is invariably sent into the greatest dan
ger. Whenever there are hardships to
be borne to which the French authori-
ties do not care to expose the regular
troops, the Foreign legion is invariably
designated for the purpose
Naturally the question arises, Why is
this SO?
The character of the men who fill its
ranks is the explanation.
Almost without exception they are
men who. while brave beyond question,
have past which they wish to bury.
Many Of them are serving under incog.
nitos and place no value upon their
lives. Fully so per cent are foreigners,
adventures and refugees.
A writer states that in one company
he has found a Roumanian prince who
was under suspicion of having murder
ed his brother; an Italian lieutenant
colonel of cavalry, bearing an illustri-
Gus name, who had been dismissed from
King Humberts army in disgrace, in
consequence Of being found cheating at
cards; Russian nihilist who escaped
from Siberia; an ex-canon of the Cathe-
dral of Notre Dame at Paris, who had
been suspended from his ecclestiastical
functions in consequence Of an offense
committed against public morality; an
English ex-captain of the rifle brigade,
and German count who had not only
served as lieutenant in the first regi-
ment of guards at Berlin, but who had
also held position on the staff of the
late German emperor - London Tit

Peter Guglielno, the proprietor OF the
rock building saloon on Sixth street,
was arrested this morning on CON-
plant OF Nightwatchman ID. d. Murphy
for keeping open after hours. The
officials have been watching the place
for some time and had repeatedly
warned the proprietor to keep a more
orderly place as many people in the
neighborhood had complained. Satur-

time to put stop to things, Guglielno

Dominick DeFillipo Is
Relieved of $54 and Q
a Go d Watch.
In the Old Base Ball Field,
Saturday Night Was the Time. and
the Robbers Left NO relltaIe
Ciues-Other Happenings.

A wellknown Calumet resident named
Dominick DeFillipo was held up and
robbed OF some $54 in bard-earned cash
and gold watch last Saturday night by
some unknown assailants According to
DeFillipo's story he was on his way
home from Red Jacket shortly after IL
o'clock. He had taken a short cut
through the field where the merry go
round Is located, and was almost across
the field when three men came out from
between the timbe: piles which are there,
and one Of them grabbed him by the
throat. Before he knew what struck him
another man had his fist over his mouth
and another assisted TO carry him back
through the field. He made several at
tempts to free himself, but il was useless
After he had been carried back about
200 yards be was suddenly struck from
behind with coupling pin used to at
tach heavy railroad cars together.
This is all he remembered until he came
to again and found his mead in pool OF
blood, A search in his pockets developed
the TACT that he had been relieved OF his
watch and chain and what was left of
his monthly pay. He managed to get
home, but not without some difficulty.
DeFlllipo says he was not intoxicated
and he has reputation for being a very
steady and trusted man, having been en-
ployed about this place for some twenty
years back. He says the men did not
speak a word and attacked him so I'M
expectedly that he has not the slightest
clue as to who they were and could not
identity them, as it was so dark aud he
could not see their faces.
Marshal Ward has been looking up the
case, but, as DeFillipo cannot give any
information that could lead to the cap
turing OF his unknown assailants, hardly
anything can be done in the case. 1t is
thought by some that the deed can be
laid TO some OF the buns who are now
about town, as they handled their victim
with professional skill.
DeFillipo had suffered from a similar
attack some time ago. His wound in
the head is bad one, but is doing nicely
at present.
