LATE FASHION NOTES.

White lace wells will be worn with
walking hats all through the summer.
Only those that will wash are con-
5idered quite correct.
The new plaid footwear is made of
a novel fabric, four-fifths OF which is
spun silk and one-fifth wool. 1T
neither shrinks nor fades and is very
durable.
The old-style English barege is re-
ueyed in qualities almost as sheer as
grass cloth. Patterns of this material
are shown in new varieties and color
ings, and another pretty fabric is Turk
ish crepe in lovely summer tints.
Gold canvas is one Of the features
Of dress at Queen Victoria's drawing
rooms this season, and entire bodies
and the fronts of dresses are made of
this material, which is often made
more beautiful by little sprays of dia-
monds ana pearls.
The English walking hat with the
hfim rolled up little at each side is
brought out in great variety as to
shape of crown and kind Of straw:
the most stylish one of all is the
Panama trimmed severely with black
wines and black rosettes.
Nearly every new dress Of thin ma
terial viii this summer be made with
the airy outside fabric of the skirt
cut separate from its silk lawn or
dlmity lining. This may not be as
substantial way as the old one but
rne lie of lightness is better at
@.ned.

in which men join, the women's con-

III contributing toward the latter that
the Brahmacharin served the purpose
of the meeting, and the closing
episode was the most valuable of his
contributions. The managers of the
congress have probably learned that it
is impossible to reconcile oriental
philosophy and western civilization.
The women of America have greater
privileges before the law and greater
social freedom than any others, and
they had nothing to learn from this
disciple of Brahma"

turned it over to Grover eveland.
NJ. Cannon, the silver republican of
Utah, closed the debate. He intro
duced an amendment for a bounty on
agricultural exports and spoke briefly.
Mr.. Cannon's amendment provides
TOR a short bounty on wheat, corn,
nour, tobacco and other farm products
by way OF equalization to agricutur-
alists of the benefits of this tariff act.
This amendment is result Of the
conference of silver republicans, popu-
lists and some democrats which may
be said TO represent the sentiment of
the element which puts silver above
all other legislation.
Washington, May 6.-Today the
first vote on the tariff bill was
taken by the senate. IL came after
two hours debate on the item of bor-
acic acid. which although compare

direct issue between the committee
and the opponents of the bill The
amendment was defeated largely on
party lines, the vote being "a to 20.
The senate adopted the Chandler
resolution authorizing the sending of
supplies to the famine sufferers in
india by any suitable ship instead of
combining them to an American ship.
An arrangement was reached that a
vote on the conference report on the
Indian appropriation bill be taken to-
day.

FEDERAL LAW MAKERS.


I Washington, May 25.-Today was
devoted by The senate to its first de-
bate on the new tariff bill AT D.
m the bin was formally introduced
without opposition. Mir. Vest gave
notice that when the paragraphs were
read he would move to strike out the
provisions relating to beer, manulaC-
tured tobacco and snuff and cigarettes
Senator Aldrich then opened the de-
Dale for the republicans, making a
long and elaborate argument 1t is

continuously before the senate, - the
exclusion OF all other legislative bust

examination OF the provisions OF the

Supposed Murderers Captured.

CLINTON, Dec. 22-Lee Mills and Will Hardin are in jail at this place, charged with being the parties who murdered Hugh Patterson and wounded several members of his family, and there seems to be ample proof of their guilt. Mills and Hardin are well known in this county. Hardin has been deputy sheriff number of times, and has been favorably spoken of for sheriff at the next election. The capture of the men was effected by Sheriff Maddox, Deputy Hatchett and posse of citizens. This posse was hurriedly organized after the murder was reported, and set out in search of the murderers, whose horses left plain trail. and soon overlook and captured them. In the posse were some who wanted to lynch the prisoners, but cooler heads prevailed and they were brought here and placed in jail There is little doubt of the guilt of the men as blood was found on Mills Winches ter, saddle blanket and trousers, and the hat and knife found in the room in Pattersons house where the desper ate battle took place have been identi ted as belonging to one of them.

A BLOODY TRAGEDY.
A Respectable Farmer Murdered B,
 Two Masked Men.
Other Members of His Family Seriously Wounded in the Desperate Battle Robbery Is Thought to Bave
 Been the Motive.

A special to the Little Rock Democrat tells of terrible murder committed in Van Buren county. The scene of the crime was six miles east of Clinton, on what is called Culpepper Mountain.
 While the family of Mir. Patterson, a respectable old gentleman and promin- ent farmer, were seated at the supper table, two men closely masked and pre- senting Winchesters appeared and de- manded that those at the table remain quiet. Without stating their object, and appearing to become unnerved, they fired into the crowd, one ball strik- ing the old man squarely in the mouth. The wounded man rushed into another room for his pistol, where one of the wouldbe robbers had gone, and was closely followed by the other stranger with the mask, who in turn was fol- lowed by the old mans son and brother
 Then followed a desperate battle, the robbers continuing shooting until their ammunition was exhausted, when they commenced using their knives, slashing right and left. Old man Patterson $ throat was cut from ear to ear, his brother knocked senseless, and young Patterson and his wife's throat slashed, but not seriously. Neither of the men were injured, and mounted their horses, which were hitched a short distance from the house, and rode away Two parties were arrested on suspicion. A hat and knife lost during the fight may lead to the arrest of the murderers.
 Mir. Patterson was supposed to have had considerable money in the house, and it is thought the men were bent on robbery, while another theory is that the crime was the work of moonshiners. Patterson had always been a law-abid- ing citizen, and had on more than one occasion given the authorities informa- tion which resulted in moonshiners be- ing arrested or their stills destroyed.
