FAsHIoN NOTES.

The gown that is made without a
suggestion of bolero or eton to it will
be in class entirely by itself.
Vinaigrettes of cut-glass and gold
set with gems are also very pretty, and
a number of salve boxes in similar de.
signs are to be seen.
A dainty accessory to simply.
made house gown is a fchu of pink or
blue null with insertions and edgingg
of yellow Valenciennes lace.
Variety in girdles is welcome,
and Que of the prettiest and most
dressy girdles on black gown is OF
miroir velvet in geranium, coral and
similar shades.
The novelty puff boxes shown for
Christmas are lovely. The jar itself
is of cut.glass, and the top, which
screws on, is of embossed gold in which
turquoises, rubies, etc, are quantity
set. These are comparatively mex.
pensive.
Since fashion DEGREES that we must
have boleros, variations in design are
very desirable. The slashcd boloro
OF black satin, with black silk cord
lacing and small fat pearl buttons, is
new and exceedingly pretty.
Hercules braid, with coral edeinQ,
is being used extensively on the inner
edge OF walking skirts, instead Of
velyoteen binding. 10 IS said TO wear
far better than it's predecessor, and
bids fair TO become very popular, al
though it is slightly higher in price

Cloth capes are . triHo shorter than
those of last season, and are decidedly
fuller. The newest, lined With bright
plaids or small, vivid-colored checks.
with hoods TO match, and big shuRglo
collars, s-o decidedly English, and
viii, therefore, "obtaiD, as The French
say.
The newest glove is real novelty.
10 is Of suede TO about three inches
above the wrist, whore it is Of exquisite
SAGE, with, maybe, tiny colcred
spangles outlining the lace pattern.
A the top tao lace has ribbon run
through it, ending in n dainty bow.
Another novelty for evening glove.
shows little irills of lace running up
80 the tops, where ribbon beading
and pretty little bows give stylisb
finish.

a Hazardous Occnn-tinn

Since balloon ascensions began thero
have never been so many aeronauts in.
Jured as during the year 1896 Four.
teen of them have either been killed or
badly Injured by accidents. Two of
these unfortunates were women and
both were killed. Professional balloon
men ascribe the accidents to ignorance
and carelesSness. Only three Of the
fourteen aeronauts referred 10 were
Of long experience. 1t has happened
that this season there has been a great
demand for aeronauts from circuscs
and fair associations.

WILL RESIST CUSTOMS OFFICIALS

klOndi&e Miners Object to Paying
ExOrbitant Duties.
The New York Worlds correspondent at
Juneau says:
There is much of several kinds of trou-
BILE ahead on the trail to Dawson City.
1t looks as if the Canadian customs Of
ficials will have an opportunity to report
back to their government that they are
unable to collect customs duties without
reinforcements.
All the incoming gold hunters are in
censed at the action of the Canadian au-
thorities at Ottawa in levying duty on
the supplies they are taking into the mines.
The rougher element is Incorporate in
its language. and has made threats to
ignore the customs officers, peaceably If
possible but forcibly If necessary.
The several inspectors who came up on
the steamship Islander yesterday have sta
toned themselves at Lake Bennett, where
boats are built and launched for the GO
mile float down the Lewis and Yukon
rivers.
The trails from the Dyea and White
passes converge at this lake, and it will
be possible to intercept at the lake or be-
low it at the Cariboo crossing all the mer-
chandiSe going into Dawson overland. The
lake and portageS are in British territory.
Men who came up in the steerage of the
steamer City of Topeka yesterday made
threats that they would not submit 10 a
high duty, and said that If an attempt
was made to impose such a duty the in
spectorS might collect If they could. A
man named Olson from Tacoma expressed
himself to this effect, and claimed to be
speaking for others.
The best information to be had here is
that the Canadian duty ranges from 20
to 30 per cent on he stuff that will be
taken into the Klondike's region. though
1t was understood that reasonable miners
outfit would be admitted free.
The gold hunters think they should not
be required to pay more than 10 per cent.
If more is demanded a serious defiance
of the Canadian government is expected
to happen at Lake Bennett.
1t is not probable there would be blood
shed. The customs officers would be pow
erless in the face Of such superior num-
