Thought to Have Crossed the United States Boundaries-Kelly Known.

Milton, N. H., April 17.-The team which was hired at Whitton's livery sta- ble, in Berwick, in which the robbers of the Great Falls National bank are sup posed to have escaped, has been found at the Phoenix stables here, where it was left by man who boarded the train at 4:10 yesterday afternoon. The team was recognized as Whtton's this afternoon. It was learned that a man answering the description of the man who left the team went to North Conway where he pur- chased ticket for Quebec. The news caused complete reversal of the theory, which the police had been working on up to that time, that the two men were in- volved in the affair." because Joseph b. Kelly, fellow we'll known about town hired the team in question from Whit
 believed to be the man who left the team at the Phoenix stable. After leaving the team the man boarded train for North Conway, where 1t was reported at Milton this morning, he purchased ticket for Quebec. Upon receiving this news Officer Richard May, of Berwick, Deputy Sheriff James McDaniel, of Som- ersworth, and Sheriff George W. Parker, of Dover, at once started in pursuit of the fugitive and the Canadian officials were notified to be on the watch. At the same time the local police began tracing Kelley's movements during the time yesterday. In this way they were only partially successful, as the only facts they could learn were that Kelly hired team at Whitton's stable at

siderable amount of patience When once the new fashions are settled on, there is nothing to gain by waiting, and yet find myself In spite all this mor- alizing, one of these same procrastinat- ing sinners, who never by any chance awake to a full sense of their responsi- blities till it is forced upon them that they have not a gown which is fit to wear.
 However. am sure, we am mean to im- prove, so I'll help by describing the sev- eral very chic gowns illustra ted on this page.
 That becoming Eton suit, the perfec- ton of what a spring costume should be, is made of canvas weave novelty mate rial in combination of green and tan. The skirt hangs exceedingly well and is lined with rich tan glace silk. The little jacket is smart enough to witch the heart out of any woman and then an appliqued trimming of light tan cloth adds considerably to it's effective appear ance If is worn over a two-tone taffeta silk blouse confined at the waist under pointed g'frdle made of the material edged with fold of the tan cloth.

adorned with exquisitely shaded plumes. 1 Paradise aigrettes of black droop overl each side of the brim and an immensel bunch of velvet panses resting upon the1 hair at the back completes this fascin-y ting bit of headgear. The jacket suitd next shown is an ideal of smartness from5 the edge of it's corduroy bound skirt to ! the tip of the tastefully stitched collar i The material of which it is fashioned is eross- -barred with two heavy threads of white. and over the entire surface is powdered tiny spots of green that make the combination most fascinating. The pretty strapped front and seams and the smart stitching on the collar and edges of the jacket all aid in making the cos- tune as swell one could imagine.
 The hat that accompanies this suit has a large crown of geranium red novelty straw to which Is fastened a finely shlrred brim of red Liberty satin finished at the edge with a double ruche. A wealth of black plumes droop over the left side while the right is adorned with bunch of geraniums surrounded with the beautiful foliage provided by nature.
 Equally attractive in design and finish is the fourth suit depicted. The cloth used is one of the new Napoleon blues and it's trimming consists of straps of the material exquisitely stitched and show ing the unmistakable handiwork of an expert tailor.
 The gracefully hanging skirt is garnit- side and the tight fitting waist is simi- larly finished
 The beautiful hat is of fine black Milan braid trimmed with choux of blue and of yellow incline and with four im- mense black ostrich feathers.

The hat that makes such a fiuing crown for this dainty frock is of tan novelty braid, and the trimming con- sists of loops of green velvet and gauge ribbon and wealth of American beauty roses.
 The ever-popular blazer is feature In the next suit. The cloth used Is a dark stone gray closely woven cheviot, marked in tiny square blocks by threads of the same color
 The novelty of the jacket is in the waH the revers widen at the bust line, for gen. erally they grow narrow at the bottom and extend in points at the shoulders. These revers are faced with heavy gray twill silk in lighter shade than the cloth and they ane finished with a dainty cording of black silk in a fancy design.
 The bottom of the jacket Is smartly cut and edged with braid while the jaunty little side pockets have patch covers, in cut and finish similar to the edge of the jacket. The sleeves are especially well shaped and are trimmed with neat cording. This study in gray" is completed by a gray straw hat Co.,. West 23d Street New York.

Contagious Blood Poison.

MT. Frank B.

He realized that his life was about to be blasted, for this terrible disease has baffled the skill of the physicians for ages, and they have never yet been able to effect cure. His mental despair can better be imagined than described.
 In recent letter he says: About four years ago I contracted a severe case of contagious blood poison, and it was not long before I was in terri ble condition. I immediately placed myself under treatment of two of the best physicians in Washington city.

BUCKSPORT, Me, Oct. 29.-Not since
the memorable three days reign of terror
some years ago, when "Old Charlie" The
big elephant, escaped from Wash burne's
show and took possession of the town,
has old Bucksport been so stirred up as
during the past few DAYS, and all on ac-
count of an invasion of bears.
Bears are roaming around within the
limits of the first school district; one has
been shot within half m lie of the Post
office. off the main street, while others
have been seen even nearer. Aided by a
big, black, long-haired dog, rowing about
with a chain attached to his collar, the
situation has been wrought up to an ex-
citing pitch. The invasion began with
the appearance of a big bear in the high
way at Davis Corner Sunday afternoon.
He scared about twenty horses into fits
James Stubs. who drives the Castine
stage, saw big black bear asleep on a
ledge. He thought it was a dog and
whist.ed to it. The dog arose to the
length Of about nine feet of glossy fur,
tried his claws on a birch tree and slid
down the ledge into the woods
Half dozen hunters reported bear IN
plenty.
Elmer Barnard. a local crack shot,
pumped bullets into one on the Orland
road, and he keeled over. Still another
nlmrod dispatched a fat half-grown bear,
at the trysung place of Bucksport's
youth, known as killingpoiut. Bears
were seen in Leeches Wood on Miles
lane, on the outskirts of the town.
Then things ceased to be a Joke and
Bucksport folks got scared. Captain r.
NJ. Nicholsons big Lab -ador dog Sick EN-
broke his chain and got away. and the
half-wild beast frightened people at night.
On Tuesday there was general turnout
OF the sportsmen, and Davis Corner re-
scrub ed a muster field. The g. A. r.
veterans turnod out with army muskets.
and even one old flintlock came TO the
front.
Prominent among the hunters was
jeremiah Mink, who had ten pounds of
powder and venty-nine bullets in re-
serve. Good old Rev. Benjamin Fogg, in
spite OF his 85 years, felt the sporting
blood in his veins, took down an old
musket, strapped on his powder-horn and
Iined the forces a the cross roads. At a
iate hour Friday the forces were still in
the field.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Oct, %
Three thousand people attended the kir-
mess tonight. The students turned out
en- masse. Many of them were costumed
III the attire of different nations and lent
a picture squeness to the big fete. Digni-
fed seniors thought it not beneath them
TO turn harlequin on this occasion.
Demure co-eds were not adverse to prac-
ticing all the arts in their power TO induce
those pre- sent to purchase of their goods
be they flowers, tea, candy or what not.
Sweet charity gained by this corporation
and the Hildebrand Library funu, as the
result OF it, has grown by at least $780,
No one had ever seen the museum look
so beautiful, because the museum has
never before been decorated as it was to-
night. Palms, evergreens and potted
plants of ALI varieties, among which were
arranged flowers in profusion, enhanced
the simple beauty of the great entrance
hall.
The perfectly pollhed marble of the
walls sent back the rays from hundreds OF
variegated lights and made OF it all a
gorgeous spectacle.
Hundreds upon hundreds OF peorl,.
men bers of the facul Y, students and
visitors from San Francisco and vicinity
and the towns Cf the Santa Clara Valley,
push their way through the spacious
wings of the museum where the side
shows were in progress, and back again
ami up the marble steps of the entra nee
hall into the show and refreshment rooms
above.
The same unity of spirit which charac-
terizes Stanford in any of its undertakings
was conspicuous through lis results IN
the success Of the Halloween Kimess.
The faculty and ladies originated the
idea and laid the plans, and the students
were ready with he!pin hands to do all
in their power 10 see the affair through to
success.
From one enormous room TO another the
throng OF eager sightseers moved.
Crowded as the rooms are with works Of
art, none seemed 10 linger long except to
listen 10 some spieler' bark or see into the
mysteries of some side-show. The college
! freak shOw certainly the most popu-
lar Of the side affairs.
