agonal, trimmed with four rows of iri-
descent spangles with green and blue
shades. The 81 ewes were plain, with
narrow caps Tapped over and sewed
with two rows of spangles.
Braiding on gowns and coats is now
a recognized style, and some of the de-
signs are very elaborate and close,
wrought with the finest braid. Others
have holder and more open patterns,
with thicker braid and in some cases
with cord. One striking costume just
completed for early spring is of chestnut
colored serge with graduated designs up
the sides of the skirt. There was a
round waist of tan colored cloth, which
showed but for two inches above the
belt, as there it met the short jacket of
serge.
Another manner of applying the braid
is to have fiat lines of it laid straight or
inset patterns around the skirt and on
whatever wrap is worn with it. A tuft
ed gray and white cheviot had two rows
of half inch soutache sewed in zigzag
design all around the skirt at equal dis
lance. There was a box coat of the same
material with two lines down the CEN
ter of the front. It closed at the left
side with one button. A collar with
deep revers made of dark gray plush
and cuffs to match completed the cos
tune, which was very striking in spite
of its simplicity. The bishop sleeves
were caught in just above the elbow
with fancy jet and steel button.
Nobody follows any one else this sea-
son, but strives to have something diff
fering from everybody else's clothes
A very novel evening dress was princess
shape, with gabrielle waist. The skirt
was laid in hollow folds, and the whole
gown was bordered top and bottom with
a putting of gold colored gauze. The
dress was of violet MORE. On the bust
and sleeves were bands of imitation dia-
monds and emeralds. One does not see
such gown very often.
Blouse waists will be plentiful next
spring. Some of the prettiest evening
bodices are made this way, and saw
one elegant cream serge with blouse
front. with two two inch bands of Alas
ka sable down to the belt. This was for
afternoons at home and had a draped
belt of pure white bengaline, with two
strass buckles. The collar and wrists
had bands of fur.
The new summer goods will be on
view next week beside the skating cos
tunes. Let us hope they will be as pref
ty as were those of the last season.

SHAME OF NEW YORK.
The Annual French Ball More Dis.
graceful Than the SeeleY Dinner.

New York, Jan. 20-New York's an
Hual French ball concluded al o'clock
yesterday after much of the old time
revelry- Captain Chapman, who raided
the Seeley dinner. was there with pla-
toon of police and cast damper on the
proceedings. To help out there was a
lot of hired dancers who did the latest
Paris quardrilles, splits and high kick
ing.
At 1 o'clock general dancing. began
with some hilarity. At o'clock many
of the dancers were maudlin with
drink, and at 5 many had to be car
ried out bodily and dumped into cabs
Disreputable women were well repre-
sented in the boxes. Two Salvation
Army lassies occupied box and watch

HAD TAKEN COCAINE.
Wild Behavior of a Young Man in
the Santa Fe Yards.

VIM. H. Craigue, a young man who
wears good clothes, is well educated
and has money, boarded a Santa Fe
switch engine last night and said that
he wanted to go to Chicago. The en-
gineer told him that he could not do
so as only employees were allowed to
ride on it. The engine was standing
in the north part of the yards. Craigue
prepared to climb on the water tank of
the tender, when he was again told to
many magazines" remarked Craigue
to a brakeman. saying which he
jumped off the engine and fell in the
mud. He quickly arose and ran to-
ward the river. The employees could see
the man was demented and thought he
was going to drown himself. He ran
across the Santa Fe bridge rapidly, as
if some one was after him.
Patrolmen Aye and Owens arrested
him in North Topeka and he was taken
to the police station.
When searched $40 in cash was found
on him, and a draft signed by his father,
A. D. Craigue. for $50.
Craigue was very nervous and i'm
agined that somebody was going to get
him. He was put in the wOmen's ward
of the city jail, where he paced back
and forth uneasily. He told Chief
Gardiner he was going to Oklahoma,
where his parents live, and he had got
ten as far as Wichita, but they" were
after him and he came back to Topeka.
He admitted having taken cocaine 10
ease his nerves. A close search of his
clothing revealed the fact that he had
cocaine, morphine and strychnine tab
lets in his pockets.
Craigue is talland SHINY built. His eyes
have the peculiar look of the cocaine
and morphine fiend. He smokes cigar
cites constantly and is a bundle of
nerves.
He is the son of A. D. Craigue, who
several years ago was groceryman of
Topeka.
When Craigue becomes rational
enough to take care of himself he will
be allowed to continue his journey to
Oklahoma.

earthen tiles and fragments of pottery,
although 1 excavated everywhere and
remained in the locality over week.
But up in the mountainous interior of
the island discovered remains of cities
founded at a later date by Oolum bus,
and there got on the track of bell
which had once hung in the church
tower of Isabella itself. The city where
in it was discovered dates from 1895,
two years later than Isabella, and to
the chapel there erected had been car
ried the bell in question.
And when I came to negotiate for its
removal to the exposition at Chicago, 1
encountered almost insuperable difficult
ties. I offered any price for it within
reason, promised every sort of guaran-
tee, but it was not until 1 had drawn
up an official document signed by our
consul and insured the bell for the sum
of 81, 900 that was allowed to shipit
by steamer to New York and Chicago.
As soon as the document was signed
and the bell in my possession hastened
to the steamer, then about to sail, and
deposited it in the ''specie tank" in care
of the purser. The very next morning,
and fortunately after the ship had sailed,
the original custodian of the bell came
to me with wailing and lamentation,
saying that his neighbors and the au-
thorities had threatened him with all
sorts of evil things if he allowed the
sacred relic to be deported, and praying
for it back again.
But he didn't get it. The exposition
did, and this, in brief, is the story of its
discovery and deportation, and explains
how it may now be seen Cor rather a
cast of it) in the Field museum at Chi
cago today. These two relics, the bell
and the stirrup, are probably among the
oldest authentic European "finds'' in
America, leaving out the somewhat
doubtful relics of the Norsemen.

ing generation, if not the generation al
ready risen, shall get the benefit of his
and his assistants labors in their various
fields. This lament is we'll founded and
has it's rise in the fact that the museum
is situated so far from the center of
activities and away from the busy
haunts Of men, as it were. All of US
who were in attendance upon the expo
sition in its inchoate period-and that
extended very nearly throughout its en-
tire duration-will recall with a shud-
der our sufferings from and futile con-
Aicts with the wind, the rain, and the
Shiny mud of Jackson park, not to men
ton the distances necessary to traverse
to find anything approaching complete
ness. And now that the inspiration of
immense multitudes and the eclat of for
eign and native assem- blage have passed
away, it requires more than ordinary
suasion to induce even a public spirited
Chicagoan to wend his way thither.
But, despite the distance from the city's
center and the time it took to get there,
[ resolved to pay one more visit to the
park before l passed away, in order to
inspect the museum collections gathered
there at SO much expense.
Very naturally I wished to see, first.
those which L myself had a hand in
gathering together, and SO I made my
way to that department where they
were on exhibition. In Americana, par
ticularly in those objects pertaining to
the voyages of Columbus and the first
settlements in our country, this museum
has many articles which cannot be du-
plicated and are not to be found in any
other collection, either in this country
or any other.
AS it was intrusted to me, during the
two years Immediately preceding the
exposition, to seek out and dispatch to
Washington and Chicago all those re-
mains to be found identified with Co
lumbus and his voyages, it follows that
these would have great interest to me
at this time, now that they are on per-
manent exhibition. 1t was unique and
valuable experience, that of mine, to
explore and investigate in places hardly
ever seen by my countrymen before, and
recall with feelings of pleasure (now
that the hardships are past) my life in
those little known West Indian islands
and my adventures while on the trail
of the great navigator, Christopher Co
lumbus. After 1 had finished my two
years labor and had ransacked every
nook and corner of the islands supposed
to contain any relics of Columbus and
his times, my finds were grouped to-
gether in a room in the Convent of La
Rabida, which, it will be remembered,
was devoted to an exposition of Column
biana.
1t is now the four hundred and third
anniversary of the founding of the first
city-called by Columbus Isabella-on
the north coast of Santo Domingo.
When l visited it's site in the summer
of 1891, found but a few stones re-.
manning of this first of American cities,
and those few caused to be transported
to Chicago. But few other relics, far
more interesting than mere carved
stones, were found there, and of these

New YORK, Jan. 11.-Surplice folds

ty, though long out of fashion until the
last year, but now they are among the
most stylish effects of this season, and
they are not confined to ordinary cotton
dresses either, but are made on hand

well as elegant home and dinner gowns,
and also pretty dresses for young folks.
The surplice folds, as general rule,
are made-of material differing from
the gown and are added as a special
decoration. One costume may, if de-
scribed, show how it is applied. This
gown was of slate gray diagonal, fine
