Again We turn to the wedding of the
young woman we have in mind. For
her mother a very handsome gown is
being designed in gray satin. brocaded

full, falling in many godets about the
back. 1t Is severely plain, not single
ornament marring it's graceful sweep.
The bodice Is cut somewhat in Louis
fashion and is constructed of plain gray
satin. Falling in graceful godets each
side the front is large collar, edged
with narrow steel trimming. The
basque skirts are slashed and edged
with the same steel trimmings and
turn In front to form elongated revers.
Large steel buttons adorn each side, a
long steel fringe falling from the lower
ones. A narrow belt fastens the jacket
about the waist. The brocaded satin
Is introduced to form the sleeves, and
purple chiffon the vest and collar. Not
the least attractive feature about this
costume Is the tiny toque of violets
and silver aigrettes, fastened under the
chin with purple velvet ribbon. It sits

Is 1t Telepathy, Instinct or What?-
Ought to he Cultivated.
Within us is power sleeping. Once
in awhile some sensitive soul has felt
1t stir, but there was no known law that
governed 1t, no logic with which to con-
vince others of its being; so 1t was
buried deep in the inner consciousness,
where hide ideas that dare not seek
light because they are in advance of
their age, says the New Science Review.
Long ago, at the house of a friend, I
saw photograph of a mans head. AS
l picked it up there came over me
sense of having known the original; it
was the face of friend" When m,
hostess entered l asked about the pho
tograph and she told me who it was.
The name meant nothing to me but the
face meant all things that l knew.
Several times In the next week looked
at the photograph, always with the
same sense Of having known" Then
eight years elapsed, Curing which no
memory Of that face came over me.
One day at the theater there flashed
over me that same curious sense of
having known" Instinctively
turned and caught full the glance of the
original Of the photograph. What he
was doing there have never found out.
Several miles away from me lived a
friend. Days would elapse without out

a note she would come, always crossing

after awhile that would write the note

Tho Alaskan boundary OuestIen.

The development of the goldfelds
near Juneau adds interest to the ques-
ton of the boundary line between
southern Alaska and British Column
bia. AS there is a rich gold region.

neau in British Columbia, 1t is prob
able that all the intervening country
Is collaborating. Prospecting has thus
far been hampered by forest growth
so dense that the most experienced
woodsman can only make four miles
day. This wealth in lumber, how
ever, must eventually add to the value
or the country and render its possess
sion more desirable. Certain Cana
dian maps, subsequent to 1884. show
a boundary line which would cut off
twenty-eight thousand five hundred
square miles Of territory hitherto con-
sidered as belonging to the United
States. The dispute Gf il may be so
ealled) rests on the terms of the con-
vention between Great Britain and
Russia, according to which the bound
airy line, commencing at the southern
most point of Prince Of Wales Island,
shall ascend to the north along the
channel called Portland Channel"
etc. AS the mouth of Portland
Channel is sixty miles east of that
cape. the Canadian mapmakers con-
tend that the line, in order to ascend
north from its commencement, must
run through the channel Immediately
east of Prince of Wales Island. A
glance at the map suffices to show
that this contention is a mere bubble.

Cupturcd Jefferson Davis.

George Munger, formerly a corporal
the distinction of being the man who
arrested Jefferson Davis, when the de-
fcated president of the Confederacy
was trying to escape at the close OF the
war. This important capture has sew
eral times been credited to Captain
William T. Steadman, bur the facts in
the matter are as follows: President
Lincoln, when it was known the Con-
federate government had evacuated
Richmond, offered a reward of 800 900
for the capture of Jefferson Davis. All
available troops in the neighbOrhOOd of
his supposed route We're thrown for
ward in pursuit. On the morning of
May II, 1865, detachments of the Fourth
Michigan cavalry reached the little
camp of the fugutives. 1t was in the
pine woods about " miles from II
winsville, Ga. Just at daybreak Cap
tain Lawton and about dozen troopers
walked their horses to the edge of the
woods, and then dashed up TO the tents
Nc one was in sight, except a negro,
who led Mr.. Davis horse, saddled and
ready for flight In a moment Mr.. Da-
Wis and his wife came out of a little
wall tent at the side of the road. Davis
wore a wOman's waterproof cloak, and
had womans shawl thrown over his
head. He started down the road.
Seeming to be an old woman. he was
allowed to pass but Corporal George
Munger quickly observed that he wore
boots. and galloped after him, hating
him and leveling his carbine.
Davis surrendered. Later Davis
himself said he had taken the
waterproof in mistake for his own,
owing to the darkness in the tent. and
that his wife threw the shawl over his
head. There is no doubt the actual cap
ture was effected by Munger, as Gen
, eral Wilson, the commanding officer,
positively states in his report. The re-
ward of 100000 was not distributed
until 1865, three years after, when pref
| ty nearly every one in pursuit received
share of the money. Four officers re-
ceived $4,000 each. Then 1874 men of
the Fourth Michigan cavalry, Is of the
, First Wisconsin cavalry, q of de-
tachment accompanying Captain Yeo-
man. and two more of unknown name
belonging to an Iowa regiment were

The Chicago papers contain the an
nOuncement that young man has won
the first prize for Oratory in certain
high school. This sort of thing should
be stopped at once. There is nothing
that is killing Off our promising high
school pupils like oratory. There seems
to be some subtle poison lurking in
the flowing robes Of oratory that saps
the young life ere 1t blossoms into man
hood. Thousands of high schools
throughout the land are shooting thou
sands of brilliant young orators
through the manhole of fame before
they arc well out Of knee breeches. But
what becomes of them? No one ever
hears of these great orators becoming
men and holding senates spellbound, as
they once held high schools. The NOR
tally OF the boy orator at the present
day must be 100 per cent. This ter
rible slaughter of young lives should
be stopped at once.
