At a sham battle Of the Governors
Guards at Pullen Park on the night of
18th, a member of the Guard, George
N. Banks By name, was shot and in
stantly killed, The cartridges had
been four times examined, and it can
not be ascertained who is responsible
for the loaded one. For two years no
loaded cartridges have been given out.
and the whole affair remains a mystery.
The eff GERS of the Guard have given
out an official statement to the effect
that no member of the Guard is
pected, as all were on the best Of terms
with the unfortunate young soldier.
The body was inferred in the city
cemetery Thursday, with all due mill
tary honors, the members of the guard
in uniform and Gov. Russell and staff
being in attendance.

blowing cannot be done without injur

opinion upon this subject, but each one
long they car be laid on top of the hill

Flowers for Your Garden.

Perhaps the most showy of all herb
aceous plants is the hardy Phlox. 1t
begins to bloom about the last OF July,
and from that time nuntil frostcomes
it will give greater masses of color
than any other plant I know of. Each
stalk will have a cluster of flowers a
foot in length, and as much in width
and there will be scores of stalks from
each strong clump of roots. The range
of colors is wide one-white, rose,
scarlet, crimson, violet, purple and
magenta. Some sorts are dwarf IN
habit, others attain height of four or
five feet. We have no more desirable
plant than this for general use. Any
one can grow it. Give it a moderately
rich soil, and keep the grass from chok-
ing it, and it win ask no further care
1t is to the outdoor garden what the
geranium is to the Kindergarten, and

THREE FRIENDS FREE
The Decision of Judge Locke Dis
missing the Libel
NO PROOF OF VIOLATION OF Law,
other Cases Pending Against the Alleged
Filibuster May BE DismissedbS-Return
OF Commissioner Calhoun from
Cuba with Onicial Information.

Jacksonville. Fla, June SIN the
United States court Judge Locke has
handed down a decision in the case Of
the steamer Three Friends. charged
with violating the neutrality laws by
carrying a filibrStering expedition to
Cuba, and also as an armed vessel, dis
missing the libel for forfeiture. In Civ
ing the decision Judge Locke said:
THE care in examining the evidence
in this case fails to find any testimony
showing that the vessel was fitted out
and armed within the limits OF the
United States. 1t does not show that
she was loaded with arms and ammuni-
ton within 10 or 20 miles of the shore.
"The further charge that the vessel
took on additional arms or ammuni-
tion on the island Of Navassa, which is
American soil, was not confirmed by
the testimony. 1t shows that the YES
sci touched there for a short time, but
It does not show that it did anything
that is in violation Of the neutrality
laws Of this country"
Three other cases are pending against
the vessel. but they are likely to be dis
missed. as the evidence is much the
same as in the present case. The dis
trict attorney will await advices from
Washington as to what future actor
to take in the present case.

LI11Le TWISTS OF FASHION.

Agate VinaIgrettes. Buckles. Ascot
Ties and Feathers i'm the Hair.
The newest vinaigrette is made of
agate. The stones polish beautifully,
and those of red and green are partic-
ulnrly popular just now. The tops of
the vinaigrettes are Of silver, gilded, and
nre usually embellished with a stone of
the color that predominates in the
agate.
Some persons say that red is Satan's
color. If this be true, Satan seems to
have marked most of this city's women
for his own this season. Never before
has there been such 4 craze for red in
every imaginable shade. 1t has extend
ed to the women's pocketbooks in more
ways than one. Leather merchants are
bringing out great variety of chate-
laine bags, purses and card cases OF
flaming hues and are selling them fast.
Some of the articles are plain; others
have plain silver or gilded trimmings.
Bright greens and puppies come next to
/ the reds in favor when it comes to
I leather novelties.
There is a mania for buckles. Cen
/ orally when the buckle mania breaks out
one size or design is more popular than
any other, but not so now. Big buckles
I and little buckles, buckles that are
bright and buckles that are dull are in
equal demand. Many young woman
has converted her grandmother's old
gold garter buckles into most fetch
! ing clasp for her belt
The Ascot tie is fad among women.
1t looks very natty when worn with
tailor-made coat. The most stylish tie
of this kind is made of striped or plaid
Madras in a combination of brilliant
colors. This gives dash to dark wool
gown, 1t is now as bad taste for wom-
an to wear a ready-made tie as for hel
brother, father or husband to do so. Sc
if she dons an Ascot, she has to &c
through the torture of learning to tie II
properly, but the result is worth while
Seal rings are much worn by women
They come in varieties Of blocdstones
jade, jasper and onyx.
Bracelets are seen again after Ions
absence. The most popular design II
flexible, being in gold chain pattern
with gems set in at intervals.
Word comes from Paris that the cor
rect thing is to decorate the coiffur
