es feeling very happy and very poor, In
spite of the richness Of her top dressing.
To do away with any economical idea
| you may have had of wearing your last
winters hat again this season, it might
as well be said at the start that Persian
effects have gone out. The new ribbons
are handsome moires, plain taffetas,
stripes and plaids. Black feathers and
quilts are very much worn, while the ia
vorite colors seem to be green and blue in
combination, black and gray, and the
shades of violet. Paradise feathers, too,
are among the novelties.
The Misses Sanford, at the Bon Marche
store, have one of the finest displays of
trimmed hats and bonnets, and they also
have all the latest conceits in ribbons,
quilts and chenille braids. Among the
many triumphs of millinery art was no.
ticed plain but pretty brown felt, hav-
ing the new fashioned high crown and
trimmed with a dainty striped ribbon
also beautiful gray hat, whose wide brim
was edged with black and caught up in
the back with bunch OF violets. Around
the crown were folds of gray silk, pink
and white velvet, while gray and white
feathers gave height and a graceful effect.
At the Bell store, mammoth hat in the
show window exhibits on an enlarged
scale all the eccentricities OF the season.
Within one finds an uncommonly
large and choice array OF fall and winter
headgear. Miss Bell, who is in charge of
this department, has an enviable reputa-
tion as trimmer, and the specimens OF
her handiwork on exhibition are so many
positive proofs of her skill and taste.
Many OF the trimmed hats had a wide
ruffie around the crown, a new feature in
millinery, the ruffie being edged with
black or some harmonizing color. few
had the new postillion crown, and others
soft crowns OF changeable velvet. There
were, too, rough bats, and the beaver and
camel's hair effects. One Glove Of a bon
net" was of green chenille braid with a
high back. Across the front was a bit of
one OF the new shades of violet and the
other trimmings were OF black velvet rib
bon, with few Paradise feathers at one
side, and a steel and Rhinestone buckle at
the back.
Mrs. Clark offers her patrons WELL
selected stock from which to select. She
has all the fashionable shades and kinds
of ribbons and feathers as well as a very
pretty display of velvet and silk flowers. |
Some handsome large hats are shown,
one OF them being OF black felt trimmed
with black satin ribbon and tips. An
other had the striking green and blue
combination, and third was black with |
green and black quilts. A neat and tasty |
bonnet of brown velvet has fancy crown |

shade of red on either side Of the front.
Altogether, our bonnet emporiums bios |

FORMIDABLE FLUNKIES.

Canon, who, as the friend of the
Marquis of Lorne, Lord Dufferin, and
other men of position, is entertained at
great houses when in England, confesses
that while he travels second. class for
financial reasons, it is his custom to
alight at the second station from his des-
tination, where he buys a first-class
ticket for the remainder of his journey.
Not that it would in the least matter
to my hosts whether l travel second or
third-class, he says, "but the truth is
l haven't the cheek to face the magnifi-
cent liveried fellows sent to meet me,
who look open disapproval at second class
carriage guests" Something of the can
on's feeling was doubtless experienced by
an old Scotchwoman, of whom London
lid Bits relates the following anecdote:
EWhen her majesty was at Balmoral
recently She visited an old cottager living
near. On leaving, her Majesty graciously
said to the old lady who had been enter
tanning hei: "Well, Mrs. -, you will
now no longer be afraid of me, and shall
expect you to pay me VISIT
'Ah, ma'am," replied the old dame,
"it's not yerself I'm afeard on. It's them
grand servants"

WHEN DAYS WILL BE LONG.

Do you know that the day, which is
now twenty-four hours long, is slowly in
creasing in length, and that it will event
ually be twenty five, twenty-six, or even
100 hours in length? This statement,
strange as it may sound to .one who has
not read the results of observations made
on that score, lis believed to be true in
every respect.
Not only will the earth's motion slow
up until the day will be one, two and
three times as it is at present, but this
-slackening process will increase
with time, until the day will eventually
be week or even amonth in length. The
"retarding medium" which the astron-
omers speak of as being the cause of this
phenomenon, is not fully understood at
present.
Sir Robert Ball says that it is the fric-
ton of the tides which is responsible for
the most of it. He urges that the time
will come when the day will be full
year in length! Others among the inves-
tigators along this line declare that it will
be absolutely impossible for this day
frightening process to increase beyond
one lunar month.

THE BAsEsT INGRATITUDE.

"The ingratitude of republics is pro-
verbal" remarked the eminent..barrister
Otto Rosalsky, of Essex Market Court
this morning, ''but to what depths of de-
pravity hath a man descended, when he
steals diamond studded locket from the
lawyer who is defending him for robbery?

He is persevering. He is ingenious in

rapier of repartee up to the very hilt.
For these and other reasons, the dis
tinguished barrister was selected to de-
fend two prisoners, Philip Anderson and
Charles Glare, charged with highway rob-
berry. They were brought to bar in the
court of general sessions, before Judge

DEATH IN A GLACIER CREvICE

The particulars of the tragic death of
Seattle prOspector named Edward Ken
nah in the crevice of glacier in the
Cook Inlet country were brought to Port
Townsend on Sunday by the steamer
Willapa from Alaska. At the bottom of
an ice crack eighty feet below the sur
face, solidly damned between two walls
OF ice, Kennah talked to companions above
for one hour and ten minutes when his
voice was chilled by death.
A party of nine prospectors were walk
ing abreast across glacier near Twenty
mile creek, at the head of Turn-again
Arm, on the Fourth of July. A thin
sheet of ice hid from view a crack about
three feet in width; the party approached
dlagonally, the end man carrying a gun
across both shoulders, when he and the
next in line, Kennah, suddenly slipped
through the thin ice and disappeared in
the chasm below. Their wild cries bare
ly prevented some of the others meeting
with similar fate. The gun fell cross
ways four or five feet below the surface,
and enabled one of the men to be rescued.
But the other prospector, Kennah, fell
over seventy feet, and was tightly jam
med between the diverging walls of ice
His voice could be distinctly heard as he
directed the movement of his would be
rescuers in their fruitless efforts to raise
him out of the coffin of ice Blankets
were torn up and tied into long strands,
Kennah fastened one end around his
body, but the force of the fall had jam
med him so tightly between the frozen
perpendicular walls of ice, and the chill
so benumbed his body and exhausted his
vitality that the combined efforts of his
partners could not raise him from the
frozen tomb.
Gradually his voice became weaker and
more indistinct, his efforts for self pre-
servation grew feebler, and one hour and
ten minutes from the time the accident
occurred the last faint sound from below
was heard.

longed in Seattle, where he is said to

very beautiful and, compared with her
fellow country women, an exceedingly

a great deal-than so, yet she looks 80,
or even less.
The wife of the richest man in the
world she spends royalty, although not
without keeping detailed account of her
expenses. In her magnificent home ON
the banks of the Pei-Ho she lives in great
splendor, surrounded by song birds,
peacocks, aquaria, pottery, gems and
botanical collections. One thousand at
tendants and servants answer her beck
and call. In her wardrobe are 1000
coats, 1000 pairs of "trouseretes'' and
900 fur robes, made from the finest
skins. Her feet have bee n coin pressed nm.
til they are quite inefficient for the origi-
nal purpose, and the marchioness is una
BILE to walk more than a few yards at a

orange and acacia blooms and afterwards
takes an airing in the cooler sedan.
Finally she dresses her hair in fifty WAYS,
each more miraculous and more perfect
example of the coiffeur's art than the one
that goes before.

HER GOWN.

One of the many stories-which are told
about the late Eugene Field is of little
joke he had at his wife's expense.
Mr.. Field and his wife had entered q.
street car, to find all the seats taken save
one at each end of the car, and they seat
ed themselves accordingly. When the
conductor collected the fares Mr.. Field
announced, in audible tones, as he gave
him a dime, at the same time pointing
to the far end of the car:
"This is to pay for the lady over there
the one wearing the new, beautiful
brown silk dress" Fe,
All eyes were turned to her, and her
pretty face took most becoming rose

she threw him was one of mingled indul-
gence, appreciation. and mirth at...the

l. and w. tracks, which came so near
running into the seXtuplet the Saturday
before, came through a little ahead of
time, so that it was well out of the way
before the Empire State loomed.'up around
distant curve. Here sc seral men were
stationed with white flags, and as soon as
the Empire showed around the curve the
seXtuplet was pushed off and the men
slowly got under Roadway, rapidly in
creasing their speed, however, until the
train came almost abreast with them,
when they let out at full Roadway and
slowly crept to the front, finishing at the
end of the half mile, as has been stated,
about four lengths to the coed. The
engineer and passengers,on the train had
been advised of the fact that race was on
at the New York Central station, for
heads were out of almost every window
and there was great cheering and excite
ment all along the line. 1t was expected
that Arthur Yates, the official photog-
rapher of the New York Central, who
was present to witness the test, would.be
able to get good picture of the race,
but owing to the fact that the seXtuplet
finished so far ahead of the train he was
unable to get a good negative, and so
another attempt was made with the EN-
pire State going east This time Mr..
Yates was entirely successful in getting
a good picture-in fact, he used four
cameras, getting four splendid negatives.
All the pictures show the train and
sextuplet under full Roadway so plainly
that there can be no doubt whatever as
to the genuineness of the trial.

SENSITIVE TO COLOR.
Yellow Not Worn in China Without
Royal Permission.

n correspondent calls attention to q
blunder attributed to the British govern
ment in its endeavor to do honor to Ii
Hung Chang, which may cost the envoy
his head on his return to China. They
are said to be hanging his house in yellow.
Now, yellow is the imperial color, and no
Chinese subject may assume it without
special permission. LIS yellow jacket
was special mark of imperial favor,
given or withdrawn as his fortunes fell
or rose at court. To put him in a yellow
bedroom, for instance, is mistaken kind
ness, or rather positive cruelty, for he
would not be able to sleep wink in it
for fear OF the consequences. If the I'M
fortunate order has really been given to
the ..upholsterers, there is still time to
countermand it, and to fit him up in red,
which our correspondent assures us is
the proper thing. 1t will swell the bill
for his entertainment, but we have a sur
plus, or we had one, and we can borrow
at the worst.-London News
