New York Fashion Notes.

Cotton dress goods in Persian style
with metal woven into them will be
very popular during the Summer
season. Grass cloth is another fash
ionable fabric. Some varieties have
twilied stripes with dots of white or
colored linen, while others have fancy
plaids and designs in various colors.
The French Pattern Dresses are made
very elaborately with applique flowers,
embroidery and bands of insertion
The new zephyr cottons have heavy
threads woven into the outer surface
which give to them the appearance
of VIC olen materials so that they are
especially adapted for street costume
in warm weather. The newest i'm.
portations for shirt waists are shown
in these delicate tissues. The shirt
waist of this season is easily recog-
nized by immense dropping bishop
sleeves which are usually finished
with a turn over cuff These shirt
waists are especially satisfactory be-
cause of their adjustable collars.
Other fancy waists are make up in
the cotton crepons which appear in
large plaids of brilliant colors and in
dotted Swiss muslin, the latter being
very charming in design this season.
They are much embroidered and
ornamented with Dresden effects.
These waists are more or less adorned
with taffeta ribbons which are
announced by importers to be the
principal feature of the Summer
toilette. These new ribbons are seen
in chine effects with large designs Of
flowers in bright colors. The French
ombre tafeta ribbons changein color
from blue to green, red to blue, rose
to cream, and other new combinations
which make their first appearance.
The Louis XVI flower striped ribbon
are again in vogue with more beauti-
ful coloring than heretofore seen.
The most fashionable sleeve has a
medium fullness which begins below
the shoulder. A small puff with a
shirred under sleeve is one of the
favorite modes. The spriug skirts
have less fnllness than formerly.
One sees the circular from with fewer
ripples and the fullness massed in
the center OF the back, forming four,
five or six rolling cores. The fovorite
interlining is the finest quality Of
French hair cloth which gives grace
ful curves without adding weight.

Bear Hunt,

On Friday night, March 9th, bear
entered the hog-pen of Charles Harri
son, one mile east of Falling Spring
and killed fine hog weighing 200 lbs
The bear eat part of the hog and left
the rest outside the pen. s. w. Jane
son and &. o. Hartford watched fol
bruin until o'clock the next night
but the hog thief was too sharp fol
them. He did not take supper until
the boys had gone to bed. They found
next morning the bear had been there
had taken supper, and had left. They
tracked him into a caye half mile off
and then, collecting men and dogs, the
excitement began. More than fifty
persons gathered, armed with guns, re-
yolvers, broad-aXes and butcher-knives
Two of the bravest men Russell Shis.
Ter and n. S. Bruffey) entered the cave
about O'Clock In the morning with a
pine torch for light and with toma.
hawk and butcher-knife for the pur.
pose of driving bruin out or killing
him in the cave. Charles Hill was left
in charge of the excited crowd, which
was drawn up in line of battle with
weapons ready for bruin at any mo.
ment. Shisler and BruffeY were under
ground until o'clock that evening ex-
ploring the cave to the end, distance
of 500 yards. Some places they had to
crawl through, and almost tore their
clothes off. When Mr.. Bruffey came
out he declared the bear was surely in
there as they had found his nest and
tracks several hundred yards back I'M
der the ground, and that he had made
his way into some part which they did
not explore.
After the hunt had been fully dis.
cussed and arrangements made to
watch the cave that night Charles Har.
rison rode rapidly up to the crowd
pulled a couple of bear paws out of his
pocket, and declared them to be the
ones that had made the tracks at the
hog-pen and into the cave that morn
ing-that it was all a JOKE. Mr.. II.
then escaped from the mad and excited
crowd by the fleetness of his horse
Next morning he took the train at
Ronceverte for parts unknown, declar-
ing that he would never play anoth
joke of that kind.
