India for elephants.
Ned Fay, the crack shotgun artist and
incidentally proprietor of the Grand Hotel
bar, is about to add another 10 his already
long list of victories in the sporting field.
A year ago. it will be remembered by
sportsmen, Ned won the first of the series
of three shoots for the diamond badge put
up by the Marysville Appeal.
On the 23d inst. the seconu trial will be
shot off, and after q careful scrutiny OF
the entries Fay has concluded that he will
have harder game this wear than he had
last. This second trial will be shot OH at
Shelton's Grove, near Marysville, on the
date named, and is already the subject OF
lively speculation among local shotgun
sportsmen. The following letter is sell
explanatory:

night two-delegates from the committee
of the Defense Association OF the Social
istic Labor party submitted series OF
resolutions condemning the action of the
court in the case of William Edlin, the So
cialist speaker who was arrested and con-
victed for disturbing the public peace and
obstructing the streets while conducting
| an open-air meeting on Sixth street, near
| Folsom.
The resolutions submitted were adopted
and the efollowing,resolutons were drafted
by the law and legislative committee OF
the council, which embody the same
thought as the resolutions submitted by
the socialists:
WHEREAS, The right OF free speech and
peaceable assembly has again been invaded by
police in the arrest of a public speaker ON the
streets of San Francisco on the 1st inst, and
whereas, these wanton attacks upon the peo-
pie are excused by the authorities on the
grounds that permit from the Chief OF PONCE
is necessary to held open-air meetings, there
fore be it
Resolued, By the San Francisco Labor Council,
in regular session assembled, that we declare
the right of free speech and peaceaple as
sembly to be vested in every eltlzen py tne
National and State constitutions; that that
right is inalienabe and in no sense de-
pendent upon the will of any official, ana that
if the principle of official permission is once
recognized free speech and peaceable assembly
cease from that moment TO be rights and De-
come merely privileges which may be granted
or withheld at the pleasure OF the authorities;
and further be it
| Resolued That we emphatically protest
against the assumption by the police and
courts of power to override the basic law OF
the Nation, and that we look upon the frequent
recurrence of the arrest OF public speakers
and the breaking up of the meetings as part
OF policy of public expression, and there
fore highly dangerous and should be con-
demned by the strongest possible expressions
of public determination to conserve in their

Some Fashion Notes.

All the new silks are striped, and they
are sitter than ever. That, too, would
presage big, full skirts. At least there is
no symptom Of a decrease in the apparent
width, though it is true that not as much
material is being put in them. 1t really
looks like hoops"
The tendency to trim everything with fur
grows, but some of the fur used is so cheap
that it will undoubtedly kill the fad before
long. When fur goes. Jet will take its place
quite promptly. 1t is used in conjunction
with fur great deal anyhow. Good Jet
pays the buyer, but cheap jet doesn't pay
for the fastening on the gown.
Turquoise blue is to be the favorite for
summer. You will find it in silk and wool.
and in velvet. 1t is being worn great deal
right now.
The princess dress is gaining in favor. as
dress goods grow heavier. You simply can
not keep heavy skirts from parting com
pany with waists if made in the old way
Small bustles are worn. They are soft
cushions of hair or down, and are I'm no
sense prominent, but they seem quite nee.
essary to fill out the hollow just below the
waist line caused by women not knowing
how to stand properly.

RIBBON SUMMER.
This Dress Adjunct to Be Much in
Evidence.

This Dress Adjunct to Be Much in
Evidence.
OF course 1t Is to be ribbon summer. or
CANDIES and ribbons are concomitants, and
ribbons and organizes seem disposed to run
races to see which can be the more beau
tiful. Dresden designs are the favorites of
the hour, but Persian designs run close
second. A wide stripe Of satin taking about
one-third of the width and the remainder of
taffeta sprinkled with blossoms, mostly Of
the larger kind, seems to be the fashion
able ribbon just now. 1t comes in all the
delicate shades and in pronounced patterns
The Persian ribbons have a narrow edge
of dark color, with a set Persian design
down the center. The colorings are per-
fectly exquisite.
The stamped or warp printed" ribbons
with taffeta ground are much in vogue
now, but they will be a little heavy for
summer fabrics of the sheer kind For
soft light woods or summer silks they will
make very pretty garniture. Plain taffeta
ribbons in delicate shades are shown for
throat garniture. The very newest fad for
collar adornment Ia yard and a quarter
length of fancy taffeta ribbon about three or
four inches wide. Catch 1t In a fold or two In
Its center to the collar of your bodice in
front, with jeweled pin, then draw It
back in folds and tie in a knot with long
loops and corresponding ends in the back.
1t is very pretty arrangement and most
becoming to almost everybody.

means of band running from a wheel
about eight inches in diameter-which I
turned with crank. To this spool I at
tached the end Of the thread, and set my
machine in motion. 1t was a great sue
cess. The spindle sang like a humming
top as it spun on it's bearings, Keeling his
precious silk from that Disguised spider
until the glistening thread covered the
spool as with a sheet of varnish. An an
grier insect, 1 fancy, never lived; but what
could he do about it? And afterward fed
him well by way of compensation.
Thus far my plans had worked to perfec-
ton; but when I eudeavored to utilize the
material so unscrupulously obtained, like
many another thief, 1 became involved in
difficulties. I found that the adhesive
strands-so perfectly adapted to the own
ers own business of fly catching-were not
so we'll suited to manufacturing purposes
as 1 had fondly hoped. In fact, they had
glued themselves together so firmly that I
was never able to unwind them from the
spool, and my invention, though highly in
teresting, did not prove remunerative-a
lucky thing for the spiders.
There were other experiments that
tried with these ungainly pets-some Of
them too cruel, as now realize, but was
quite unconscious of it then. For example,
I often waited flies against large fresh
web, and in this way presently discovered
that the ordinary spider. though he has
eyes with numberless facets, is really al
most blind. He does not trust to sight at
all. He stands waiting at the center Of his

at the back edged with astrachan and the
braid. Many of the new plaids are in these
softer and more delicate tints, avoiding the
positive reds and greens that in a ruder
age set the tartan precedent for all time.
Black hopsackng with a white satin
yoke covered with gripure and outlined
with sable tail etching is a startling re-
minder of the black and white combina-
lions of year or two ago.
Some of the new gowns to be worn over
padded hips employ heavy and visible
scanning of black, holding together a sue
cession of cores, running down the skirt.
This is a sort of Eastlake construction
made-applrent device.
We shall be sorry to quit us Of the wide
skirt if in it's stead there comes the draped
one; but of this there is only the unsupport-
ed rumor.
For red-haired lady, or one whose tress-
es stay the sun in his admiring course, to
put it mole POLITICALLY, hat of green felt
with violet velvet, with violet leaves and
blossoms, is irresistible.
For a house dress, golden brown shot
silk, with frill front of pale rose pink silk,
with a ruche Of pink, green and brown.

glistening material? Who could tell what
might come of it?
So 1 managed to get hold Of the end OF
the strand, and began to draw it out. Now,
if there is anything that spider particu-
larly detests It Is to be robbed of his silk !;
no pack-peddler values his stock half SO
highly. AS soon, therefore. my victim
perceived what 1 was at, he reached back
with claw and shipped the thread. This
was repeated several times.
Then 1 saw that / must devise some
means for preventing this sort of inter-
ference. So I cut small round hole in a
bit of card board, and made a slit from
the hole to the edge-see cut. This ar
rangement I slipped about my spiders
wasp-like waist. AS his legs were on one
side Of the card, and his abdomen with the
spinners on the other, he could no longer
NEEDLE with the thread; neither could he
get out of the sort Of pillory in which
had placed him. He wasn't hurt in the
least, but he was altogether helpless and
in the worst Of humors. Then 1 got hold
Of the strand with a pair of tweezers and
proceeded to draw out as much silk as 1
pleased. winding 1T about my finger.
But this process was slow. and did not
satisfy me- l wanted spiders silk in bulk;
my head was full Of schemes for producing
a new and beautiful fabric from this bright
and elastic material. 1 therefore mounted
a spool upon a spindle in such a way that
1 could make it rotate with great speed by

And in the spring-So baSely do we an

These are odd only in minor details. The
Beauharnais toque or turban-you can call
1t either-is more of an innovation. Figure
1t in blues, say-a shape not unlike a lib
erty cap behind in ciel blue, a black plume
curling over from the left, a white plume
falling outward from the middle front to-
ward the right, where a red rosette Is fast
ened, and in front a number of folds of
Dresden ribbon in very light blue and
white. This is piquant and old-worldish

toques of wire and beads that we have all
