ELLEN OSBORN'S FASHION LETTER.
Gay Gowns for Early Autumn Wear at Lenox and Among
the Berkshire Hills.

Lenox. Mass. Sept. 2.-Almost from
time immemorial there have been
goldenrod dinners and luncheons at
Lenox to usher in the autumn. Some Of
1.-THE prettiest Of these entertainments
have taken place this season at the golf
club houses, where woodbine, climbing
over the broad porches and slowly
turning from green to crimson, adds to
the brilliancy of every occasion. Re-
Gently tea was served on the heels of
IN afternoon on the links and attended
by many who never yet have succumb-
ed to the fascinations of the game.
The large, low, reception room of the
club house was hung with scarlet Bit
tersweet berries and trailing vines of
Athe wild white clematis. Sheafs of
Yfeathery goldenrod filled the wide old
fashioned fireplace, while huge vases of
blue succory and deep red cardinal
flowers stood in every nook and corner.
Broad yellow ribbons looped back the
curtains and the place was filed with
the soft, brilliant hues of September.
The guests wore flowers in profusion,
as is the seasons pleasant fashion. and
the younger ones had decked them
selves with jeweled belt buckles in the
shape of bicycles, or golf or tennis or
yacht club pins. according to their indi-
tvidual bents; for everybody at Lenox
has one fad in athletics, if not a choice
assortment.
i There was a great deal of blue in the
iwomen's dresses and a great amount of
lcream and brown. Some Of the frocks
were corded on the hips, after a style
that promises to be much in vogue this
autumn. These skirts were gathered
Into the waist and arranged, in most
leases. with hem trimmings. Other
gowns had guipure laid round the foot
Of the skirt or about the hips. The
bodices were more intricate than we
have vet seen and very much trimmed.

QUEER DETECTIVES.
How a Boy, a Camera and a
Lightning Flash Caught
a Thief.

From an old-fashioned closet in an
old-fashioned house a number Of sounds
were issuing, and presently boy came
out and went to the window. In his
hand he held a camera which seemed
to require deal of adjusting.
The window was high above the
ground, being in the second story. and
commanded view of a field and or
chard to the east. Almost below 1t a
broad stone wall divided the lot from
the property of farmer Tumkins.
When the boy at length looked out at
the window he looked down on a fine
collection Of watermelons, ripening in
the sand on the opposite side of the
wall. He had seen them too often to
pay them much attention, but he pres

thrashed about like an eel in the grass
until both rolled over and over. Final

dashing down the road.
Donald soon found the hat, no longer
clean and dainty, for both he and Snea-
den had rolled upon it and crushed it
in the dirt. He had thought for mo-
ment to take it back to Becky, but
after looking at the ruins, he hung it
on a bush at the side of the road and
went his way.

OSCEOLA NUGGETS.

A nugget worth 1923 20 was picked up
one day last week by j. c. Marriott on
his claim in Hogum gulch, and one
worth 800 is reported as having been
found by Mrs. Lee Davis short time
ago, east of the summit.
Mrs. Olmstead of Shoshone, has gone
to Nephi, Utah, to remain all winter
with her daughter, Mrs. Gard.
A house of concrete, strong as wood,
Finished and furnished neat and good
Was lately built by bachelors-three,
And with themselves they did agree,
That he who first procured wife
Should own this costly house for life,
And soon indeed it came to pass,
That one had taught a buxom lass

To think well of the situation.
A wedding soon may follow on,
SO bachelors ere this life is gone
Too far; think of this lucky man
And build IA concrete If you can.

A Chinaman Convicted OF Selling
Whiskey to the Indians.

Charlie Toy, Chinaman, was arrest
ed by Sheriff Scott in Chinatown last
Sunday evening for selling whiskey to
the Indians. He was arraigned before
Justice Weber, pleaded not guilty and
asked for jury trial. The trial took
place at the Court-house on Tuesday
and resulted in the conviction of the
accused Justice Weber sentenced him
to pay fine of 800 or go to Jail for 40
DAYS and, being short of funds, he ac-
cepted the latter alternative.
The guilt of the Chinaman was clear
ly proven. Sheriff Scott caught the
Indians in the act of drinking the whis-
KEY near his cellar and frightened them
into telling him of whom they bought
it. As he was taking the Chinaman to
Jail, the latter admitted to him that he
sold the whiskey and only made 10 cts,
on the bottle. but in Court denied hay-
ing made such confession and further
periured himself, The bottle of whis-
key (?) which was introduced as evil
dence, was the subject OF very carelul
examination on the part of the jury.
Not being able to satisfy themselves as
to its identity by smelling OF 1t, they
each took mild pull at the bottle but
did not seem anxious to repeat the dose.
It is probable that the Chinaman tate
was sealed from that moment.
The selling of whiskey to the Indians
has been going on here all summer and
it is good think that the authorities
have finally discovered one of the cul-
prits. Charlie Toy came here f'om
Osceola last spring with bad reputa-
ton and had been previously warned
by Sheriff Scott that he would get into
trouble If he attempted to carry on the
whiskey traffic with the Indians here.
The authorities have their eyes on other
suspects who will do well to desist or
they too, will get into trouble.

The Democrats have made this appar-

ignored the Populists in putting their
ticket in the field and then requested
the Populists to fuse by swallowing the
Democratic ticket as whole. They did
not do SO. In Virginia the Populists we're
first in the field, nominating a candidate
for lieutenant governor and leaving the
other places on the ticket to be named
by the Democrats. But the Democrats
refused to endorse the Populist candi-

they had to give something for it. En-
