Seldom or never has like degree OF
interest been shown, as was manifest
ed in the deliberations of the grand
jury for the September term OF the
Criminal Court. When It was whisper
ed about that indictments by the
wholesale were to be found against the
saloon keepers, it caused great deal
of uneasiness. The saloonists employ
ed counsel, and the fight which was
made against the grand jury is still
fresh in the minds of the public.
The grand jury passed upon all other
matters presented to it, but adjourned
for ten days in order to give witnesses
who had left town chance to return
and give evidence in the saloon cases
The so-called short" license has been
fully explained in the Register. 1t is a
$500 State license for selling beer only,
the license for beer and liquor being
$3.50. Nearly every saloonist' in the
county took out the short license,
and $50 of the indictments re-
turned last night were of this nature.
Inc grand jury also Investigated the
matter Of Sunday selling, and found
III true bills.
The jury was in session all day, and
did not adjuorn until about 1890
o'clock last night, when they were
complimented by Judge Hugus for the
fearless and impartial manner in which
they performed their duties. Over two
hundred witnesses had been summon
ed, most of them against saloons keep
ers. 1t is understood that the jury
first decided to indict saloon keepers
for each offense brought to their no
tice, but this was later changed to
decision to present not more than ten
indictments against any one man or
firm for selling under short" license.
If the jury had followed it's original
plan half of the saloonists in the coun-
ty would have been driven out of the
business if a conviction had followed
each indictment. One man testified
that he drank glass of whisky in a
certain saloon every morning on his
way to work. The jurymen made a
memorandum of 120 days, and 120 in
dictments.
The finding of the true bills, if con-
victiOn follows in each case, means the
payment of an immense sum in the
aggregate, by the saloon keepers Of
Ohio county. There were 706 true bills
The minimum fue under the statute is
$40 and costs. The prosecuting attor-
ney's fee for each conviction is $40.
This would mean $1,000 to the State,
tie same amount 70 the prosecuting
attorney, and like amount in other
costs, or a total cost to the saloon
keepers Of not less than S21,1S0.
The complete list of true bills return
ed by the grand jury in saloon cases is
as follows:

~ Bright Shades Decreed for 1898 u


NEW YORK, Dec. 2O.-(Special Corre-
spondence to The Herald) Blue will
certainly be the leading color in the
spring. Sky and navy blue, porcelain,
flax, greyish and lavender blues are all
represented. both in millinery and dress
goods. Lavender blue made it's appear
ance this winter and few elegant toilets
of this shade were worn by exclusive
women. Consuelo, Duchess of Marlbor-
ough, wore such a gown at her infant s
christening. For flowers and other mil
linery trimmings turquoise blue will be
given special prominence.
Yellow will be given great Importance
This yellow note has been seen in Paris
models the last few months and as it
is now manufactured in all shades from
the palest lemon to the depeest orange,
all compilations and types may venture
to wear hats and bonnets at least where
color schemes include yellow. When en-
ployed for day tolettes great care must
be exercised. Red. SO popular last sea-
son, is again to the fore, the begonia and
rose shades especially. These are for
milliners' purposes. For silk dress goods
there are coral and cardinal, nasturtium
and maroon shades, mauve and violet
Water and emerald green shades, also
that pale shade which seems scarcely
more than white with green reflections
will be used and also some dainty gray
greens. For the remainder of the winter
and early spring grey will be very popu-
lar, but will probably vanish as the sea-
son for dresses is giving place to the
blues and lavenders.
In dress goods brown will, it is eX-
pected, be much worn. The shades range
from bright tobacco to castor and the
slightly greyish tea colors. There are
also bright golden tints and those with
q strong hint of pink. A brown cloth
gown of light weight with touches of
yellow or pale rose at the throat and in
the hat would be a safe purchase for
those contemplating a southern trip.
Cloth is coming more and more to the
front Black is also in immense favor,
and black cloth skirts, it Is predicted
by those who know, take the place of
the black satin and brocade skirts with
separate waists last season. AS men,
toned above, grey blue and lilac, also a
pale green will be favorites.
A wrap of green velvet had a square
shoulder collar of Persian lamb that
carried green velvet applications in
Cornfiower design outlined with metal
beads and having an iridescent effect.
The front Of the wrap was trimmed with
an embroidery of black over white, the
effect being heightened by silver SPAN
giles. On either side Of the strip fell a.
jabot of yellow tulle lace overlaid with
green chiffon.
The combination of color shown in a
cerise velvet wrap with ermine collar
was charming. An unusually large guam
tity of fur is seen on light evening wraps
and the most original ideas in embroi-
derry are favored. For instance, a wrap
Of Nile green cloth was incrusted with
changeable red faille in floral design
and embroidered with strass, metal edg-
ings and threads; the trimmings of satin
straw and shell effects reaching to a
deep collar.

Novelties in neckWear are dear to
| every woman's heart, for on the dress
ing of the throat and bust the beauty
of most women depends. Genuine
artists are engaged in Paris to design
these models and there is no woman
so plain that she may not make herself
attractive by a judicious selection.
Our illustrations, beginning at the left
hand, are:
No. 1. A collarette composed of mar
row rufiles of white silk muslin, mounted
upon collar Of white satin, and closed
by bow of white or coiored satin.
No. 2. An exquisite high collar and
cravat of the new Madarin yellow vel
vet, edged by a narrow band of chin
chilla. The collarrette is separated in the
back and flares, as shown. If desired,
this collarette portion starts at the
sides and forms two ears. The large bow
is finished by jabot of lace.
No. is composed of ruche of white
silk muslin confined by a cravat, of
green taffeta with lace finished ends.
No. is a plastron of green taffeta
Stimulating a vest cut out in battle
ments upon q gathered center of NOUS
seline de sole. This battlement vest
may be cut only a few inches wide or eX-
tend to the armholes.
No. shows high collar of turquoise
velvet bordered with putting of white
silk muslin. The cravat of white satin
ribbon is confined across the front by
straps of turquoise velvet, terminating
in loops fastened by small gold buttons.
No. g. and last, is collar and cravat
of rose satin striped with white silk
braid. The cravat has two square re-
vers and is absolutely a novel creation.

pointed out, it is undoubtedly to this
failure to get nourishing food and a

general want of tone which are seen

due. There is no doubt among those
who employ them that they do their work
