AkATYDD COSTUME.

Batiste is beyond doubt the pet ma
terial of the season. 1t is made up in
an entire gown, or is used as a trim
ming on a gown of silk, but the typical
summer gown is made over lining of
silk. This is splendid opportunity
for one to use the soiled or worn silk
gown, provided it has a bright, pretty
color. This material is shown in a
variety of weaves. plain or interlined
with marrow openWork lines showing
the color of the silk through. The all
over openwork batiste is altogether too
expensive to use much of, and is
seldom seen save as a yoke or some
other decoration.
A fetching summer frock of this
sort of stuff is made of the open-work
lined sort over a groundwork of leaf
green taffeta. The skirt is extremely
plain, but wide and full. The bodice
is laid smoothly over the shoulder, but
gathered softly into the belt, around
which was crushed a narrow twist of
green leaf velvet, finished at the back
with donkey ear ends. A deep
crushed stock is made with sharp
point at the front; also of leaf green
velvet, with tiny points of embroidered
batiste at either side. The sleeves are
in the leg-'o-mutton style. with but lit
tie fullness at the top, and finished
with point of the embroidered batiste
at the hand.

4 SENSATIONAL INNING PLAYED IN
A DRESSING ROOM.
ArIie Latham and Umpire Sheridan
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Games
Played Yesterday.

ST. LOUIS, April 24.-After the
game between st. Louis and Chicago
yesterday afternoon had been finished
an additional inning was played in the
dressing-room., 1t was then that Arlie
Latham stepped up to Umpire Sheri-
dan and struck him under the eye
cutting cash that will not heal in a
'iay. The blow was struck with his
INST or with bat which Latham car
fled in his hand. The details of the
fray will probably never reach the
public or the league officials, as every
precaution is being taken to suppress
them.
AT the bottom of the row is the fact
that while Latham is beloved by Won
der Abe, the public will have none of
MIN. Whenever he makes a mis-play

clamorous demand for Myers, a prom
iSlng young player now adjoining Mr..
Won der Ahe's hard bench
This was a bad day for Latham. He
made errors and the crowd howled.
In the eighth he coached Down home
from third on a caught fly from
Short, right field, and the runner was
caught and declared out on a close
decision. This angered the crowd, but
the wrath was directed at Latham,
not the umpire.
The two had a tilt then and Latham
was threatened with the bench.
After the game came the unexpected
assault. The st. Louis players We're
the only witnesses and the men Were
separated. Then Latham Gained
down and began to apologize, but
Sheridan stopped him.
You need not apologize" he said.
You are a coward to attack me in
this way; but if you think you can
whip me, I will prove that you can't. -
"All right" chirped Latham, well
wait till the crowd gets out and We'll
go to the track and have it out.
mo, we'll fight here in the oressing-
ROOM" said Sheridan, wiping the blood
from his cheek
In the meantime Chris Won der Abe
and Manager Diddlebock and a squad
of police gathered about the door and
hostilities were prevented. The bel
Hgerents remained in the dressing
room half hour and then Sheridan
appeared under the wing of Mr.. Did
dlebock.
There is nothing to say said sheri-
dan.
There has been no fight" quoth
Diddlebock.
The other players winked and said
a perfect stranger evidently mo gen
tleman," had struck Mr.. Sheridan.
1t is said that the several members
concerned in the trouble will be fined
by President Ven der Abe.

and in mission fields. of the vote on
the woman question, and have been
tabulated by Rev. DR.. Lucien Clark
pastor of the Madison Avenue Metho-
dist Episcopal church in this city

ference, which has just been received,

taking great pains, as is habitual in
such cases, to keep the witty and OBJ

that is accorded to the people of those
countries. Furthermore, the letter an

tors sold quite freely of July, and in alb
sence of any particular outside support,

Kansas. Evidently operators had rather

they wanted to cover they did not find
much wheat on sale. The strong closing
cables added to the strength here.
The corn market was firm, and a fair
