against Franklin Raymond Wallace.

Helena, Mont. A motion was made in
the United States circuit court yester-
day to serve notice of suit by publica-
ZION, but the order was refused on the
ground that the court had no jurisdic-

involved. Today Ms Raymond left
for Helena, Mont. with her attorney,
where she will begin the action in the
supreme court. Miss Schaffer. who is
an exceedingly pretty blonde, "a years
old, with a remarkably well developed
and pretty figure, at present lives some
where in Brooklyn. Franklin Ray
mond Wallace cut a wide swath in New
York from 1891 to 1895. Reputed to be
a millionaire. he spent money with the
lavish hand of a Croesus. He lived at
the Plaza hotel and had an extensive
suit of offices in Wall street. Some
time in 1891 Wallace and Miss Schaffer
became acquainted. How. when or
where she. her lawyer declares, re-
fuses to state. According to Wallace's
written statement he fell madly in love.
After spending thousands of dollars on
her he suddenly deserted her.

A Lighted Gun.

The shades of night are no longer IL
protection to game from the powers OF
the sportsman. An English nimrod has
invented luminous sight for use in a
bad light. A tiny incandescent lamp
fed from single storage battery con-
cealed in the gun stock, is mounted
within a shield at the muzzle of the
gun, and faint ray of light calculated
to indicate the position of its source is
exposed in the direction of the shooters
eye, and this is sufficient to enable him
to obtain the required alignment with
the back sight and with the target, be
it animate or inanimate. The special
application of the sight is for game
shooting at night and for naval sery-
ice, such, for instance, as the illumina,
ton of a machine gun used against tor
pedo attacks during the night. For the
latter purpose it has been adopted in the
English navy.-N. Y. Journal.

AN EXTRAVAGANT FASHION,.
The Skirt and the Corset Are Now Mace
to Match.

The skirt and the Corset Are Now Made
to Match.
The short French corset, as short as
the riding corset, is greatly in favor,
particularly for slender women. These
can be bought of plain or colored coutil
or satin, but the fancy silk and bro
cades are preferred, and it is very smart
to have the corset and silk petticoat
made of the same piece of silk. The
all-tiowered designs are peculiarly
adapted to this purpose, and are to be
found both in light and dark colors.
The corset is finished with lace and
three rows of beading, through which
narrow satin ribbons are run. The up
per part of the petticoats is carefully
fitted over the hips, all fullness being
thrown to the back, but deep Spanish
flounce, which is finished by narrow
ruffie, makes the width around the bot
tom fully five yards. These silk petit
coats are a very important part of the
costume this season, for on their being
well hung depends much of the beauty
of the dress skirt. The silk used in
them is stiff and stands out well, but ii
narrow steel tape put just above the
Spanish fiounce and through the head
ing of the ruffles makes a sort of ideal
lied hoopskirt. A yellow ground COW
cred with dull pink roses makes an ex
tremely smart corset and petticoat,
while the dull grounds may be more
useful than the white with light
flowers, which is suitable for evening
gowns.
Some New York women who pride
themselves as always being smartly
gowned have IL pairs of corsets made
at one time, with petticoats to match,
and declare that it is absolutely nee
essary to have this number to go
through the season; but this seems to
be an eXaggeration, for third that
number, made, as they are, of the best
material, last a long time. The fashion
able corset, short on the hips and low
in the bust, gives q more natural look
TO the figure than do the long ones
which incase the body SO stiffiy.-Har-
