The mourning period for the widow,
one young enough to expect to lay
aside her black, lasts two years.
During the first year she is limited to
gowns of henrietta cloth trimmed
with Grape, writes Isabel A. Mallon in
The Ladies' Home Journal. The next
six months she may wear eudora
cloth with lighter trimmings OF Grape,
aud for the next six months eudora
cloth. crepon, serge or any all black
material she may select, without
Grape decorations. Mourning for a
parent requires dress OF henrietta or
eudora cloth rather simply trimmed
with Grape and having on the bonnet
a Grape veil that reaches just below
the belt. For a brother or sister a
gown OF black serge, with collar, belt
and cuffs of Grape and very short
veil, is proper. The bonnet worn by a
widow is really nothing more than a
foundation for holding the veil. The
milliner fits frame to the head,
covers 1t plainly with Grape and then
drapes the veil over it. This veil hangs
below the knees in front and is about
the same length behind. Almost all
widows wear white crimped ruching
inside their bonnets.

The Nevada City Transcript prints
the following: Mrs. Hartley, it Is
generally supposed, is a native of Ire
land OF English descent. Her parents
reside there at this time. Her father
is an officer in the English civil SER
vice near Waterford. She is an ac-
complished woman and devoted to
painting and sculpture. She has lived
in the capacity of governess among
some Of the highest families OF the old
country and has travelled extensively
on the continent OF Europe. Married
early in life, she became a widow and
drifted to San Francisco about ten
years ago, where she pursued her
studies in painting. Being afflicted
with asthma she sought the high alti-
tude OF the Sierras for her health and
took up her abode at Cisco. Here she
met the miner known as Hartley,
"the Meadow Lake hermit" who
owned what he thought was valuable
gold mine in that exploded mining
camp. After a short acquaintance
she and the hermit were married and
she lived with him one season. She
seemed to have tired OF this seclusion,
for she soon removed to London for
the avowed purpose of prosecuting
her studies in painting; her husband
supplying the necessary funds.
The ''hermit" remained at Meadow
Lake experimenting in vain to extract
the precious metals from the rebellious
ores Of that district. Disgusted and
disappointed he died suddenly, some
said from poison. After his death Mrs.
Hartley returned to America and
claimed his estate. She lived for sew
eral months in Nevada City where she
was pronounced lady OF most charm
ing manners and rare refinement and
intelligence. After the settlement oil
her husbands estate she drifted to
Reno where she became acquainted
with Senator Foley and esta blished
studio for the purpose Of giving in.

BEEF RAIsERs ON VELVET.
Mutton Has Also About DonbIed In
Price During ahe Last ~tx weeks
and sheep Men Are Happy.

A big rise has recently occurred
here and all over the Coast in the
price of beef and mutton. The cattle
and sheep growers are in consequence
on velvet. They all have cash, and
believe they will continue to have it,.
for they say there is a short supply
and everybody who has cattle or
sheep has something as good as gold.
There are many cattlemen here
now from all parts Of the country,
says the San Francisco Call OF January
18th. Nearly every Western State is
represented, as we'll as New Mexico,
Arizona and British Columbia. AT
the Russ House for week past there
has been cattlemen from all sections.
Among the cattlemen now there are
G. b. Welshous and X. +. Keyes Of
Eiks; w. A. Tapscott OF Red Bluff,
and L. Allen Of st. Clair, Churchill
county. Nevada.
Beef steers are now worth in Ne
vada from Ga to 61a cents pound
mel, said Mr.. l.. Allen last night,
"and beef cows from TO 5l2 cents.
This is a good solid rise. For the last
five years the average price OF beef
steers there has .been about cents.
Late In December there came a
rise, and it has been staying right
with US. Not only have cattle come
up, but sheep have also. Mutton
which six weeks ago was selling for
81 70 head is now bringing from IS
to 50 so q head.
"The reason for all this is the
scarcity. In Nevada there has been
q great thinning out OF livestock. Ii
began in August and September,
when Eastern buyers came in and
bought up the cattle to feed. There
was an enormous corn crop in Ne
braska. Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and
Illinois, and it WAS to eat this corn
that the cattle were bought up.
''The Truckee Valley, which is from
twelve to thirteen miles long, and
which usually has at this time OF the
year from IL 900 to $1,000 feed cattle.
now hasn't more than $500 or 1900.
This valley runs from the vicinity OF
Reno toward Carson, and is in Washoe
county.
"From Humboldt east there are no
cattle at all-that is. none worth
speaking about, and there is usually
in January nom 10000 to 10000 head
there"
Mr.. Allen is feeding $40 head at his
ranch in Churchill county. He says
it is the first time in five years that he
has had chance TO get on the right
side Of the ledger. Many people in
the city have been wondering for some
time at the small amount OF beef they
have been getting for good-szed
amount OF money. Mr.. Aliens state
ment may tend to some extent to ex-
plain it,

writing FOO Freely Causes Robert
HwmfIswn Ia be sent so JAIL
Robert Hamilton, the saloon keeper
who was convicted few days ago OF
sending improper letters through the
mail to q Mrs. Scully who lived on
McAllister street, was sentenced 10
six months Imprisonment in the
Alameda County Jail by District
Judge Morrow yesterday. Judge Nor
row in passing sentence took occasion
to state that such correspondence,
while being against good morals, is
also very dangerous, and people
should be careful as to what their let
ters contain before depositing them in
Uncle Sans letter boxes.
There was q curious feature TO this
case which showed to what extremes
the human mind can 20. In writing
to Mrs. Scully Hamilton frequently
burst forth into elcquence OF the
higher order. One sample in particu-
lar arrested the attention OF Judge
Morrow, the lawyers and Federal
officials. The woman had evidently
asked the mans blessing, the occasion
being, it was believed. to have been
the anniversary OF her birth. To this
request Hamilton responded:
"By the by, May, send you this
blessing and trust everything will
come to pass as have written it.
"Msy the blessings OF thy God at
tend thee; May the sun OF glory shine
around thy head; may the gates Of
plenty, honor and happiness he always
open to thee and thine; may no strife
disturb thy days nor any sorrow dis
turb thy nights; may the pillow Of
peace kiss thy cheeks and pleasure of
imsginations attend thy dreams, and
when length OF years makes thee tired
of earthly joys and the curtains OF
death are gently closing around the
last scenes OF thy existence, may the
angels OF God attend thy bed and
take care that the expiring lamp OF
life shall not receive one rude blast to
hasten it's extinction. and, finally,
may the Savior's blood wash thee
from ell impurities and at last usher
thee into the land OF everlasting
felicity. Amen"
Several were inclined to believe
that the blessing was merely quota
ton, but none could tell from whose
pen it emanated. 1t was submitted
to several people OF letters, and more
than one was inclined TO believe that

THE REBELLION PUT DOWN
The Insurgents in Nicaragua Disposed.
Many o. The Imprisoned Tria'.
Prospects, of War Between Nicaragua and
Costa Rica

Managua, Nicaragua, September &c.
The revolution has been suppressed.
1t has been a weak effort thus far by
some of the ablest men in Nicaragua.
They had no arms and the people who
were disposed generally to rally to the
leaders, learning this, soon hid away in
the woods. President Zelaya is taking
strong measures to suppres forever
the spirit of opposition to his rule. He
is bringing suspected persons in large
numbers in chains from their houses to
the penitentiary at Managua, without
trial, and is imposing very heavy fines
on them and on the absent supposed
s~ympathizers with the revolution.
The danger today of war is in the
fact that Zelaya has imprisoned and
treated with much %indignity Senior
Beche, consul at Managua for Costa
Rica, a warm personal friend of Presi-
dent Inglesias, of Costa RIGA. Beche
was at Granda at the time the revOlu-
ton commenced there, on the night of
September 18th. He evidently went
to avoid escorting President Zelaya and
Jose D. Cameo (whO dislike President
Inglesias and Costa RIGA intensely,
Lake Managua on the 18th instant to
meet the diet Of the greater republic of
Central America" at MOmotombo and
escort them to Managua. The consul
was arrested on suspicion of being an
active participation in the revolution.
1t is quite probable that the diet will
recall Senior Beche's exequatOr and
then probably he will be sent out of
Nicaragua without trial. But, it ap-
pears that Costa Rica has declared a
state of war and is concentrating her
forces to resent the alleged insult If
Beche is finally discharged he should
he retained in Nicaragua and pun
ished as we'll as dismissed, but the
character Of the witnesses and testi-
mOny should be weighed suspiciously
and considered carefully in the light
of pre-existing facts.
The indications are hat Nicaragua
desires war and may provoke war with
Costa Rica and that the latter is now
about as anxious to fight Nicaragua as
she has heretofore been to prevent a
war between those states.
The recent revolution furnished evil
dences Of widespread bitter dissatisfac-
ton now intensified by the chains and
p~enitentiary which some men of prom
inence have been subjected to and it
appears to have aroused and involved
Costa RIGA, although it was weak at the
start and the leaders were unable to
arm the volunteers after it was started.
But as the majority have gone into
Costa Rica they may o again reap
pear we'll armed in Nicaragua to re-
sumo the struggle. Ex-President Car
denas has escaped into Gotta Rica n
General Pals, the leader OF the recent
revolution. has lone the same.
Nicaragua and Salvador are seriously
discussing the propriety of withdrawing
from the latin American bureau at

Annual Report of Treasurer of the United
States

Washington, October 1.-THE annual
of the treasurer CT the United
States will show that on June 80, 1896,
the total available assets of the treas
ury were 1855, 6S5, 321 and on June 80, 1897
they had increased to 1874, 1887. Of
these sums s3OS, 1854, 34S was available
on June 80, 1896 and $$2S3, 295, 424 on
June 80, 1897, for the strictly fiscal
operations of the government. On June
80, 1896, s547, 800, 1913 and on June 80, 1897,
1891, 46S, 953 was held on deposit against
outstanding certificates n treasury
notes. In addition to the net ordinary
revenue, the treasury received sl5.44S,-
$40 in deposits for the retirement Of ma
tional bank notes and $3.50 in refund
ing certificates for conversion into bonds
so that the total income available for
the fiscal operations of the year were
1868, 173, 1926.
AS against this there was disbursed
besides the ordinary expenditures, the
sum of Sill, 37S, 500 on OF bonds
and fractional currency, and the furth-
er sum Of $11, 092, 1855 in the retirement

BILE cash arising from these operations
therefore, was $25, OF, O91.

operations of the year, which amounted
to 1914, S48, 600 were exceeded in only
one year, 1892, and then by only j mar
row margin. The redemptions, amount
ing to $3.50, 710, 020, were also relatively
heavy.

Cincinnati, October ia special to
The Commercial Tribune from Glen
vile, W. Va, says: The trial Of Mrs.
Governor Atkinson vas resumed here
today. On cross examination the wit
nesses who testified for the defense
Saturday night Jared badly at the
hands of Attorney Dim, for the pros
ecution. Facts were brought out which
seemed to weaken the testimony in
chief. Up until 2 o'clock this afternoon
the time was devoted to the examina-
ton of witnesses to prove hat Owens,
co~-defendant of Mrs. Atkinson, was at
the time Of his alleged purchase OF
land from Judge Camden, financially
able to pay for the same. The alleged
forged receipts show a payment for
something like $1,4OO. Owens took the
stand this afternoon. In his testimony
in chief he stated that he had in 1875
been employed by Judge Camden as
agent in the sale Of land; h a he made
a bona fide purchase Of land from Cam
den, and that the receipts for the pur-
chase money, which the prosecution
claims Mrs. Atkinson forged, are gen.
uine, bear true date and were written
at the dictation of Judge Camden, and
given to defendant for purchase none
actually paid in cash and labor. The
cross examination Of Owens is in pro-
cess.
