M. Castle OF San Francisco. who was
sentenced at tho Clerkenwoll Sesaions
on Friday last to three moptha' i'm,
prisonment without hard labor. after
having pleaded guilty, by the advice
OF counsel, 70 the charge OF shoplifting,
was released from Norwood Scrubbe
prison to-day, on medical grounds, by
order o. the Home Secretary, Sir Mat
thew White Ridley.
The commissioners Of Prisons had
directed the medical board to INQUIRE
into and report upon the health OF Mrs.
Castle, whose condition had caused
anxiety to the prison authorities She
had been watched day and night by
special attendants in the infirmary,
and had been shown every attention
possible. The commissioners. after
receiving the report of the medical
board, had communicated with the
Homo Secretary, who promptly ordered
that Mrs. Castle be released from
prison and be placed in the care OF
her husband, who has undertaken to
take her back to the United States
with the least possible delay.
Mr.. Castle called at the Home Office
at ii O'Clock this morning and was
there informed that his wife would be
released at o'clock this afternoon
Accompanied by nurse, he entered
Q carriage and drove 10 Worm wood
Scrubbs prison, whore he arrived at
u. 40 O'clock. After brief delay
Deputy Northy granted the unusual

gates and drive to the door Of the hog
pital of the prison. There Mr.. Castle
aud the nurse alighted.
A few minutes later Mrs. Castle,
dressed in deep black, was almost
carried out Of the hospital by the
female attendants. She was desthly
pale; her face was tear stained; she
appeared to be on the verge of collapse
and sank faintiug into her husbands
arms. He tenderly embraced her and
tried to console her. The nurse en-
velopsd Mrs. Castles face in heavy
veil, wrapped her in shawl and
assisted her to the carriage. where hsr
head fell on her husbands shoulder
and she sobbed Historically.
When the carriage passed out of the
prison gates the driver applied his
whip and drove rapidly away. I'D

1lGHr LAoIsa DOOMED.
The Venus Waist, is Constantly GainIi
Popularity.


Popularity.
That English authority, the West
minister Gazette, pronounces the wasp
waist doomed. Ii says that while the
news came from Paris, the accepted
fountain head of all such information,
as matter of fact the fashion comes
from the west end of London. 1t is
really no very new thing in England,
this desire TO emulate the outline OF
the Venus de Milo, with her waist OF
generous circumference.
''For years the doctors have been de-
crying the evils of tight lacing, and II
only required the excuse offered by
cycling for the ladies who set the
fashion of England and often Of the
world, to declare in favor of return
to nature. Gradually the Grecian
waist has been gaining popularity.
"a Regent street ladies' tailor, who
has sold, he declares, a thousand
cycling habits this season, stated this
morning that his books undoubtedly
prove that the standard is increasing.
I" They are letting themselves 60
more and more, he said, waxing
enthusiastic on the subject even
those who are inclined to the stout.
Joa bobofo thnb a 'hby Cdlllt
here not long ago and was measured
for morning gown with 2J.inch
waist? When she came TO have it
fitted her waist measurement was 81
inches, and we had to alter the gown
accordingly. We are glad enough to
notice the changing of fashion and we
encourage it all we can. 1t is much
easier for lis to give stylish cut and
a perfect fit il we follow nature, by
which / mean narrow sleeves, fiat
back and large waist
"The buyer in the costume depart
ment of one of the largest and most
fashionable west end establishments,
who bias just returned from Paris
stated to our representative that the
change is not very perceptible there at
present either on the street or in the
shops. He q agreed that the standard
was, steadily increasing, but doubted
whether any sudden revolution in form
could be expected. 1t was matter in
which the costumers were at the mercy
of the customers, an interesting re-
versal of the usual arrangement.

Fat WOMEN.
How to Get Thin = Dict an Imporian,
Factor.

How to Get Thin - Diet an Important
Factor.
A great many women, convinced that
flesh is inimical to boauty-is the
"deathblow to grace" Rs an arbitrary
critic puts it--injure health in the en-
deavor to reduce weight, says the New
York Tribune. They Eut themselves
to great trouble and Inconvenience,
swallow all sorts Of preventives and
remedies in order to get thin and then
stand aghast at the spectacle of their
wrinkled, tlaby faces and. threats, the
result of the falling away OF flesh
under the elastic skin. AS matter OF
fact, number of the notable women
of the world, famous not only Tor their
beauty but for the rarer charms of in
tellect and subtle fascination, women
who have helped to make history and
been a power in their day, were Of
distinctly generous proportions.
Cleopatra, she whose "infinite
variety" of charm and temper could
win stern-hearted warriors to forget
their ambitions, was small and stout.
Marie Antoinette was of the plump
order, though tall and of fine bearing,
and. to come down to the present day,
view the widowed Victoria, sovereign
Of the "united queendom;" the in
creasing proportions of Queen Mar
gherita of Italy and the generous out
lines of Queen Isabella of Spain. 1t is
worthy of note that most of the great
interpreters of song are stout, or hor-
dering on that condition. and there
have been lights in the literary world
decidedly fat, whether tall of stature
or the reverse. George Sand was fat
and small, and likewise Nine. De Stael.
Fashions votaries will doubtless con-
tinue to strive after the senderness
which seems SO desirable. For those
willing to sacrifice the promptings of
appetite for the desired aim an
authority recommends that they should
regulate their days as follows; A tum-
blerful Of hot water must be taken on
waking in the morning. Rise early and
have tepid bath. with vigorous rub
bling afterward with a flesh brush.
Avoid drinking at meals and have only
three meals day. Take one small cup
Of tea at breakfast, some dry toast,
boiled fish or small outlet and
baked apple or little fresh fruit.
At dinner. which should be ut mid
day, take white fish or meat, dry toast
Or stale bread, vegetables and fruit,
either fresh or stewed. For supper,
toast, salad. fruit and six ounces OF
wine or water. Hot water with lemon
Juice in il is good for supper.

SUN AZ Il mann DYE.

Sailors Have Light Locks and Luxuriant
Ones.
The latest use to which the sun has
been put is to mako it dye human hair,
and on the head OF the pretty bathing
girl at that, says the New York journal.
This fashion began last summer. A
fashionable physician recommended
bright sunshine and sea ozone as the
best means OF making the hair light
colored, healthy and strong. The young
person for whom this prescription was
given found it very eilicacious.
The end of the resort season has by
no means caused subsistence of the
fad. Never before were there in New
York SO many young women whose
golden hair hangs down their backs
once every day-that is, every sunahiny
day. A queer fact, too, ia that the
idea, simple as it is, seems to have the
result of producing the desired effect.
1t is certainly much more harmless
way Of bleaching the hair than that
which requires the use OF chemicals.
at seems to be very intelligent
idea," said a physician, when ques-
toned regarding 1t. Gan sailors will
fell you how rapidly the hair grows
when on board ship in the tropics. I
have had some opportunity to observe
the color, or rather the average color,
Of sailors hair. have found that the
fair mariners outnumber their
dark-haired shipmates by two or three
to one. l suppose the sun has some
thing of bleaching power, as we'll as
forcing the growth OF the hair, by
causing an increased circulation of it's
sap In this respect it stands to
reason that each individual hair must
be somewhat like a plantin is nature. +"

Mr.. BAYARD'S RETIREMENT.
The Comment Of an English Newspaper
on His SOjourn in London.
ACCEPTABLE AS AN AMBASSADOR
Has Worked PassionateIy and
Devotedly.

London, Eng, Nov, 10. The ST.
James Gazette, this afternoon, noting
the approaching retiremeut Of Mr.. Bay
ard from the post of Ambassador OF the
United States to the Court Of st.
James, says: without rejecting upon
his predecessor it ia safe to say that no
American Minister since Lowell has
been SO thoroughly acceptable to the
English people and London society.
Where all recognized that he had no
easy task he haa worked strenuously,
devotedly and passionately, yet as a
patriotic envoy should, for the continu-
ance of the friendship of both great
branches Of the English-speaking race. "
THE VENEZUELAN DIFFICULTY.
Mr.. Bayard, in an interview with a
representative Of the Associated Press,
to-day, expressed warm appreciation OF
the cordially of his reception last
evening at the Guild Hall banquet, and
incidentally expressed the opinion that
the United States law of 20 years.
possession will prevail In the case of
the settlers in Venezuelan disputed
districts.
The afternoon newspapers, to-day,
are unanimous in expressing salts
faction at the Marquis of Salisbury's
announcement, in his speech at the
Guild Hall banquet, of the practical
settlement of the Venezuelan difficulty.
The Pail Mall Gazette saye: 1.-THE
presence Of Mr. Bayard at the banquet
gave additional enthusiasm to the sat
isfaction with which 1t was received.
The solution is in every way honorable
and final. and will materially strengthen
the ties between the two nations"
The Globe says: "The amicable and
honorable settlement is creditable alike
to the diplomacy of Great Britain aud
the United States."
The Westminster Gazette says: Both
Secretary Olney and Lord Salisbury are
entitled to say that they sacrificed no
principle for which they originally con-
tended"
According to the st. James Gazette
"the question still remains az to who
Is to be the arbitrator. If it is tho
United States the so-called settlement
covers surrender, for the United
States is party to the dispute aud is
not qualified to be it's Judge"
MAY DE SETTLED BY ARBITRATION.
Washington, d. c., Nov. 10. -Thevone-
zuean Commission has authorized the
following official statement The state
ments of Lord Salisbury, as reported in
the morning papers, make 1t probable
that the boundary dispute now pending
between Great Britain and Venezeula
viii be settled by arbitration at an early
day. Under these circumstances the
commission, while continuing it's deib-
erations in the preparation and orderly
arrangement of many valuable maps.
reports and documents which have
been procured and used in the course
of its labors, does not propose to formu-
late any decision, for the present, OF the
matters subject to its examination. 1t
will continue its sessions from time to
time, but with the hope and expecta-
tion that friendly and just settlement
of all pending differences between the
nations interested will make any final
decision on its part Unnecessary"
