FASHION NOTES.


A soft velvet toque is, as O rule DO
coming to almost every type Of femi.
ulne beauty.
The newest thing in wedding walls
is tu]le WITH ruHle Of rose point all
around the edge.
Belts OF bias satin ara sometimes
gathered at intervals up and down
and the stitches covered with let Sc.
quins.
Bo]eros of lace and vide draped
belts fastened with rhinestone buckles
are features CT wedding gowns this
season.
A little corset waist, without straps
over the arms, is made tor evening
gowns. 1t is especially shaped, and
can be bought in expensive materials
for fifty cents.
The best skating costumes are made
OF cloth, smooth surfaced goods SEEM
ing Tor the moment to be preferred to
tie rough fabrics. One Of the new
patterns fo- skating skirts is almost
circular.
Caplike bonnets, with strings, have
punches OF ostrich feathers standing
up from over the forehead in a smart
fashion. and even the baby, when ne
can hold up his head, wears q bunch
OF feathers on his cap.
Toe increasing propensity toward
extravaganza is shown in the DejeweIel
chains, vinaisrettes, bon bon boxes
and Other so.called' "trihes" that the
woman OF fashion deems size must
have in order to be happy.
An English toque, which is pretty
Tor the proper purpose, is Of black
tulle, the crown outlined with dia.
monds and sequins, and trimmed with
two black ostrich tips, and spray OF
slender white osprey feathers floating
over the back.
Nature is entirely ont Of the race
in the question OF color in hair, since
she never provides any new fashions,
and new tints in hair brought out by
some presumably harmless propar-
alton are enc of the latest attractions
the hairdresser has TO oMi'ar.
C!ose.fttting jackets OF fur, with 6
short basque and storm collar, are one
OF the teetinS fashions of the day.
They fasten on the side, and tho
sleeves are OF brown velvet if the fur
is brown or black if it is Persian lemb,
and the BELTS a brilliant ieweled band
Of narrow Russian gold galoons.
With almost all skirts for the wheel
knickerbockers or boomers arc worn.
They are considered very necessary by
many persons, and are quite generally
worn. Women who make a roint OF
dressing we'll use black or brown satin,
and consider this material much better
than wool, es the skirts do not stick
to it.
Vel:2t ribbon, IN black as we'll as
colors, IS much employed for dress
trimmings in Paris. Rows of ribbons
IN different widths are sewn on the
skirts, sleeves are stripped with it, and
bcdices are trimmed with it, and q
very novel combination is pale ecru
cloth trimmed with cherry colo1ed
velvet ribbon.
A stylish and peculiarly Frenchy
evening dress is made of chiffon over
silk. The skirt is full and of dancing
length, The body is in princesse
shape, and the breadths of the mate
rial. instead OF being fitted over the
lining from tho hips up, are draped
around the body in most artistic and
becoming fashion. One breadth ends
at the back Of each shoulder, where
there are enormous rosettes and bows.

cUBANs ATTACK A TOWN.
They Are Repulsed But With Slight
Loss

Havana, Jan. 19.-Capt. Gen. Weyler
has issued a circular simplifying his
edict of January 1. 1t says the Spanish
authorities must not permit dry goods,
groceries or medicines to leave a town
unless the remitters of each locality
guarantee the loyalty and standing of
the purchasers and vouch for their
actual need of goods.
The military authorities are required
to sign each invoice and duplicate, and
one of them will serve as a guide. for
the Spanish authorities until the con-
signment arrives at its destination.
This step has been taken to still fur
Their do away with the possibility of the
insurgents being able to purchase sup
plies in the towns, and there is no de-
nying that the work of starving the in
surgents to subsection is being pushed
with more vigor and success than the
work OF subduing them by force of
arms, and they are now feeling the eff
fects of the wholesale destruction of
plantations, etc, to a degree which was
not anticipated at an early stage of the
campaign.
The insurgents have attacked Santi-
ago de Las Vegas (rhiS province) from
several points. The fire was answered
by the Spanish garrison in the trenches
and a government force under Captain
Enchenique met the enemy outside the
town, forcing the insurgents to retreat,
leaving two men killed. Senior Mace
iras. editor of the La Patrio, has been
arrested, charged with conspiracy.

CHIMAY'S DIVORCE SUIT.
The Case Begins Today and is Con
sidered the Divorce of the Century.

Charleroi, France, Jan. 19.-The act
ion for divorce brought by Prince de
Chimay against his wife. formerly Miss
Clara Ward of Detroit, Mich, who
eloped with a Hungarian gypsy last
summer, opens here today. Maitre AL
lain of the court of appeals of Paris
will defend the princess.
In an interview today with a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press, Mai
ire Allan said:
The case will be a cause celebre
and the divorce of the century, princi-
pally because the mother of the prin
cess takes the princess side and be
cause of the prominence in it of a
kings name. The newspaper state
ments that the princess defense will
be that she suffers from nervous disor-
derS are untrue. The princess is per-
fectly well in mind. She is willing to
allow the prince the custody of their
children, but insists on her right to
visit them occasionally. 1t is equally
untrue that the princess has lost her
fortune. She still has a good income in
spite of the large sums she has spent
in various ways, and does not need to
sing anywhere.
The prince asks for an allowance of
rs, 600 francs. and the princess consents.
When the children are of age they will
enjoy the income under the Belgian law
of their portions of their mothers for

HILL TO BLAME.
The New York Senator is
ROundly Scored
BY Members of His Party in
Legislature Caucus.
1T WAS HIS INACTION
More Than Anything Else That
Defeated Democracy.
Five Democrats Refuse to Vote
For Him.

Albany, N Y, Jan. 19.-Three Demo-
cratic senators and two assembly men
last night bolted the caucus called to
nominate a successor to David B. Hill
for United States senator. OF those who
remained, SO voted for David B. Hill,
for Wilburt F. Porter of Watertown,
and for Robert c. Titus of Buffalo.
The five who voted against Senator
Hill in the caucus will vote for him on
the ballot. After the caucus was called
10 order, Senator Guy rose and said:
During the recent campaign, while
not approving of some features of the
Chicago platform, believed it my duty
to Loyalty support the presidential can
didate of the Democratic party because
1 knew him to be an intelligent, up
right and honorable man, and because
I felt that the Democratic party, more
truly than it's opponent, represented the
best interests of the general people.
More than six millions of voters in
the nation, and 551, 900 in this state dis
played like faith in the Democratic
party and it's candidate.
Senator Hill, on the contrary, by his
1naction and policy of delay, contributed
more than any other single influence to
Democratic defeat.
ITO vote for him, under the circum-
stances, would, in my opinion, be to re
bulxe those who were loyal; to reward
the general who avoided the conflict
while condemning those brave soldiers
who unflinchingly faced the foe"
The senator's remarks created a de-
cided sensa ton, and when he finished
speaking. there was absolute silence for
a considerable time
Finally Grady offered resolution in
Structing the secretary to call the roll
and as each members name was called
he was TO rise in his seat and name his
choice for senator
Before the question on this resolution,
was put, Senator McNulty got the floor
and said that he agreed generally with
Senator
that he would not follow Senator Hill
hereafter in either state of national is
sues.
This was the signal for Senators Guy
and Coffey, and Assemblymen Cain and
Zurn to retire from the caucus with
Senator McNulty. The resolution of
Senator Grady was then adopted and
3 poll was taken, resulting as already
stated.

lie MOVED THE RAIL.

New Orleans, La, Jan. ia special
to the Times Democrat from Atlanta,
Ga, says:
Sam Palatka, cross-eyed, a fiend in
expression, revolving in countenance,
has confessed to having perpetrated the
horrible Cahaba bridge disaster, which
occurred three weeks ago in Alabama
Stolid1y and with immovable lines of
criminal harshness on his face, he ad-
mits that, single-handed, he sent So
persons to horrible death and wound
ed and MANNED score more.
There was no romantic reason back
of the work of this courag eous coward
man who dared discovery, which, in
Ala ama, meant certain DEATH to drive
train to destruction in order to OBJ
tain a few dollars.
Palatka was arrested in Eatonton
first captOrs believed him half-witted
as he gave himself away. Those in
charge of him today in Atlanta, as he
was on his way to Alabama, say he is
absolutely reckless and entirely without
human feelings. Today he spoke of
the feaful wreck with no sign of emo
ton.
Il did it," said PaIatka 81 wanted
money. It's nobody's business what
wanted it for. L did it. 1 found it
very easy. I say this for the benefit
of those who want to wreck trains 1t
is just as easy to wreck a passenger
train as ii is to wreck a freight train.
There's no money in a freight. 1 did
not get anything out OF the wreck. 1

and the whole business seemed to fall
There were plenty of dead folks with

New York, Jan. 19.-The Duke of
Marlborough will finish the hunting
season with two American-bred hunt
ers in his stable, and it is good betting
that neither horse will be the worst in
the ducal establishment. Mr. Oliver H.
P. Belmont has been looking around
for several weeks to find some horses
that would be a credit to their native
country He finally selected two, which
will be shipped within few days a s

her noble Son-in-law.
One of the horses is the five-year-old
gelding Longshot, that was entered in
the last New York horse show in the

though he was too green to show him
self to the best advantage. The price is

BAD ON OLD SOLDIERS.
Said to Fare Worse Than Convicts at
the DAYTON Home.

Washington, Jan. LIT is quite
probable that Stephen A. Northway of
Ashta bula; L. J. Fenlon of Winchester,
or Theodore Barton of Cleveland may
soon introduce in the house a resolu-
ton to investigate the Dayton Soldiers
home
In a speech on the floor Northway
charged that the mana gers of the Day
ton home were giving the old soldiers
OleOmargarine costing cents a pound
while the convicts in the Ohio peniten-
tiary were given creamery butter cost
ing IA cents a pound.
Blue of Kansas last session intro
duced a resolution to investigate all of
the military homes. He was opposed
by Grosvenor of Ohio, and succeeded in
passing only that resolution relating to
the Leavenworth home. Now that
gross irregularities are being diScov-
cred in LeavenWorth there is a grow
ing demand for other Investigations.

MEN PLEADED FOR WORK.
Serious Conditions Discussed 1T Mass
Meeting in Dayton, Ohio.

Dayton, Ohio. Jan. 19.-Nearly 1900 of
Dayton's unemployed Workingmen. me-
chanics and laborers held a mass meeting
yesterday afternoon al the Casino. to
which all city boards and public officials
were invited The object was to discuss
the serious situation confronting the mas
SeS and to devise ways and means to re-
lieve the distress of several thousand fam
flies
No definite plans were adopted. though
il is confidently hoped that the situation
will be adequately met and that none viii
suffer. 1t is known that at least 5000 me-
chanics and workingmen are cut of en-
ployment and that possibly more than TO-
600 people are dependent upon them Most
of them have been out of work for three
or four months. and as the winter shows
no improvement it is found necessary to
appeal to public boards and charities.
More than 1000 of the unemployed yes

GENTRY AND ROBERT J.
Two Great PAGERS Take Kindly to
Double Harness.

Somerville, Jan. ia team of spir-
tied bay horses reared and backed ner-
voGsly in front of a stable on Doughty
avenue yesterday. The actions of the
team lasted only minute, and then
they started up the street with a pace
that was greeted with cheers by a
number of admiring spectators. To the
hOrsemen present the exhibition was of
more significance than is the first trial
trip of a steel armored cruiser to the
ship builders.
1t was the first attempt to drive in
double harness the two fastest PAGERS
in the world, John r. Gentry, 2:O01s
and Robert j., 2:01h. 1t was the first
time that John r. Gentry has ever been
harnessed with a mate. Some years
ago an attempt was made in Kentucky
to drive Robert ]. double, but the result
was disastrous.
He did not take kindly to his mate
and smashed things generally and ran
away.
The experiment yesterday was high
ly satisfactory to Mr.. e. F. Browne
the driver and trainer of the two IA
nous PAGERS. The team was logged for
five miles over the country roads.

ages Against Richmond City.

rendered an interesting decision growing
out of the seizure and destruction of Ii
Quor here on the night of the execution

ment. Expecting the Federals to Occupv
inc town. the council passed a resolution

A BAG OF MONEY is LAST.
It was Set on the Sidewalk and Dis
appeared Mysteriously.

New York, Jan. ia bag containing
So, 800 was stolen today from in front
of the Pacific State bank, Broadway,
near Houston street.
1t was the property of the Metropol-
itan Traction company and had been
sent to the bank in charge of two men
as part of the usual days deposit. 1t
was in five and ten dollar bills. Several
bags of coin had been carried from the
wagon into the bank when one of the
men, according to the story told to
the police, set the sack (the most val
liable one of AID upon the sidewalk to
be ready for the messenger when he
should emerge from the bank. The
men at the wagon turned to lift out
another bag, and when he looked for
the sack on the sidewalk it had disap
peared.
The street was crowded with people
at the time, but none of those in sight
was carrying the stolen bag. nor was
any trace of it to be found. The treas
urer of the company says the two ex-
pressmen are old and trusted employees
of the company and that he has every
reason to believe their story.
