mony, and is evidently bent on putting
him in bad light.
"What happened when the officers
Gamer" was asked of Mrs. Pickett
"Mr. Pickett got up and let them in.
We thought it was the hackman come
after the man and his wife, who were to
catch the $50 train. But Ellison threw
back his coat and showed his star and
told Mr.. Pickett hat he had been running
this business long enough"
what did your husband say?"
ale asked where his warrant was and
he said that he didn't need warrant for
him; that the chief had told him to bring
US all down to the jail.
"Ihen he asked where johnson and
the woman were and | said, why what
have they been doing? Have they been
stealing something?' l never suspected
ANYTHING was wrong because he had said
she was his wife. I told where they
were and said for Mr.. Pickett to let them
go through the house, for l knew every
thing was all right, for there was no one
there but this man and his wife and all
the others were alone"
"What else was said?"
"Ellison wanted to know who else was

the sergeant to ask whether the girl was
white or black.

her TO go into the hall, but Ellison fol.
lowed her there. She got her clothes
on running about that way.
81 wouldn't go to the station because I
hadn't anything but my night clothes on.
The spring lock on our bed room door
had fastened, and we couldn't get in to
get our clothes. Pickett went to the station
with nothing but overalls, slippers and
| an overcoat on. He borrowed the coat
! from Representative Robinson, of the
legislature, who was sleeping there that
| night"

and Originality.
New YORK, Feb. 26.-For a week or
ten days past Mira. Dimmick, who is to be
married to ex- President Harrison on
Easter Monday, has been busy superin-
tending the get-up of her trousseau,
which is being made by a leading
modiste of New York.
The modiste declares that of all the
costumes now in process of creation a
certain walking dress is her favorite.
This is particularly complimentary to
Mrs. Dimmick, to whose inventive genius
is chiefly due the design.
The cloth is a very fine quality of SSH
yer blue" cheviot, a new shade specially
selected for this order, and is one of the
things in spring novelties. 1t is made
with coat and separate skirt, and will be
worn with either vest or shirt waist as
desired. The coat has deep velvet COL
lar similar to that on gentleman's over
coat. attached extra wide lapels, the cut
in the lapel being perfectly straight The
lapels then curve gracefully toward the
waist with a soft roll There are no but
tons on the coat, but blind button holes
in silk, the last two of which are caught
together when worn by elastic The back
is tight fitting as we'll as the
waist, with a short frock, which
flares out prominently over the
hips, forming what is termed the
umbrella back" Two plain hip pock-
cts adorn the sides. The sleeves are
large and pulled, tightly fitting from ell
bow to wrist, with cuffs turned back and
left open. The entire finish is made in a
single silk stitching. The skirt is very
large and f1aring, being six and a half
yards at the bottom, falling into equidist-
ant plaits instead of the usual pattern,
where the front has been heretofore
smooth. The back flares out half yard
more than former styles, extending in a
straight line from the waist downward.
1t is lined throughout with an original
fancy pattern of silk to match, making
one of the newest and most elegant de-
signs of the season.

THERE IS NO BLACKLIST,
But There is a List of All Who
Struck
In THE RAILROAD STRIKE OF 1894,

And These Railroad Men Who Get
Good References-Genera Railroad
News.
The report to the effect that all Chicago
lines have blacklist of employees who
went out in the American Railway union
strike of 1894 is emphatically denied by
the managers of the different roads. They
deny that the men who struck cannot
now secure employment on any road,
and say that any good man who went out
during the strike can get position pro-
vided he was not leader or active in
burning property or derailing trains
While it may be true that there
is no blacklist in the strictest
sense of the word, all lines have
undoubtedly a list of their employees
who went out in the strike. The Santa
Fe road has list of all employees who
left the service on account of the strike,
but the application for work of any of
the men, with the possible ption of
the active leaders, will be considered, if
accompanied by proper references.
From time to time men are dropped
from this list, after investigation of
their references by the officials,
and if not supplied with
work Immediately, are given a chance to
secure EN- ployment as soon as an oppor-
tunity is offered.
Without doubt the Santa Fe is not an
exception in this matter, and all roads af-
fected by the strike have similar methods
in dealing with this class of cases.
