case. There is the opera season ahead
with all the excitement Of new gowns in
preparation for 1t, and few women can
remain unmoved at the prospect of a
| new dress. A new gown or so has been
sent down from the city since styles
| began to change, and every one is part
ly prepared for the altered appearance
Of sleeves and skirts. An autumn dress
to travel home in is almost necessity,
for no woman likes to come back to the
city looking like the last rose of sum-
mer in tattered frills and furbelows to
! find the metropolitans clad in tailor
suits.
A dress that is light enough to wear
now and yet warm enough for an
autumn street gown is the best gown
for home-going. One such dress an
swers the purpose admirably. 1t is a
blue cloth with chemisette of thin en-
/ broidery which may be replaced later
in the season by yoke Of the passe-
menterle which trims the rest of the
: Dress The gimp trimming is sewed in
a pretty pattern on the lower part Of
the skirt and also forms the diamond
shaped hip pieces. It is used on the
waist underneath some scroll shaped
slashes on each side. The sleeves are
small, and have caps of the trimming
at the top.
Blouse costumes grow more and more
popular and many of the new street
dresses are made in this manner. For
early autumn the blouses are worn
with shirt waists and can be removed
like any other jacket. They are usually
lined with some pretty colored taffeta.
One made of cloth in bright blue
shade slightly darker than corn flower
had bright green taffeta lining which
could be plainly seen where the blouse
hared open In front.
For young women who cling to the
girlish in dress, the blouse that fastens
at the side is very pretty. A navy blue
cloth costume. exhibited at one of the
large New York stores and marked
$4,000, could be reproduced by an In
genious modiste for little more than q
third of that amount. The skirt was

there is no indication that they will ap-
pear on any of the winter dresses or
coats. The blouse and the bolero have
disposed very effectually of that style
of trimming. The chemisette or yoke
with pouched front is rather newer than
the bolero, and it is probable that in the
progress OF events the popular little
jacket will be gradually dropped.
Another blouse that fastens to the
side is made of q grizzly brown cloth.
1t is also French importation, and is
provided with a full basque which is
never very popular on this side of the
water. The blouse is of the square"
variety just described. On the left
side, where it fastens to the shoulder, is
succession of bows made Of soft plaid
silk with large steel button in the GEN.
ter of each. There are about five of
these bows, counting the ones at collar
and belt. The skirt has hoop-like ap-
pearance from being banded with fine
tucks, set an inch and half apart and
curving down in front as so many of
the ruffle trimmings were arranged on
the summer dresses. The lower sleeves
have the same tucking as the skirt, and
at the hand are fan shaped cuffs
Whlcn extend over not more tnan three
inches at the back Of the wrist. There
Is belt of the material which fastens
at the side with one of the bows as q
finish, and beneath this is a basque
about three inches wide.
Silk petticoats usually indicate the
trend Of fashion in dress skirts. The
new ones are made narrow at the top
and not very full in front, and many of
them have a succession of wide ruffies
up the back. This would indicate that
dress skirts are expected to stand out
at the back, and may bring in its train
the hair cloth hustle, which reaches from
the waist to the bottom Of the skirt.
The newest material for long petit
coats is wool moreen. 1t comes in dark
checks and stripes and is sixty-five cents
yard. Five yards make a skirt, and
less may be used If one cares to trim 1t
with silk ruffies. A fine red and blue
check is one of the prettiest patterns,
and trimmed with either red or blue taf-
feta ruffles it would make an extremely
pretty petticoat, cheaper and much more
durable than silk-cheaper because it II
wider.

Women Smokers Of the Past.

In the reign of Louis XIV we read
that the court ladies were very fond Of
smoking tobacco, and although the
Grand Monarch" had great dislike to
the weed. his daughters did not disdain
to avail themselves of its solace. When
they became wearied by the etiquette
and gravity Of the court. they frequent
ly INDUCED in revelry in their apart
ments after supper. On one occasion
when, at a late hour. the Dauphin had
left the card table, he heard noise in
that part of the palace and went to find
the cause. To his amazement, he found
the ladies smoking and laughing. and
discovered that they had borrowed their
pipes from the officers Of the Swiss
Guard.

Money Conceded to Be Good.
The police will likely decide today upon

Carr will be bestowed. The committee
appointed by Major Moore, consisting OF
Inspector HUllinberger, Capt. Austin and
Lieut.. Heffner, TO award the sum to the
proper person or persons, is carefully eX-

at least, the major portion Will be paid
to Frank j. Beuchert, as heretofore stated
In The Times
Since the capture Reuchert has been
warmly congratulated by hundreds Of citi-
Zens who have been anxious to have the
culprit run down. The statements OF all
the Officers who know anything of the
case tend TO show that Eeuchert was the
real captor. Policeman Mike Ready, OF
the Third precinct, who worked hard to
secure the man, and to whom he was
turned over by Reuchert and Policeman

money. Mr.. Fowler has already backed
down from his first stand and admitted
that Beuchert caught Carr outside his
stable door.
Carr has not as yet secured counsel TO
represent MIN when his case is called In
court. He is apparently resting quietly
in jail and has at least two months
before his case will be tried.

TAXATION on PRosPECToRs.

Information has been received at the
Treasury Department to the effect that
the Canadian government is Imposing an
unusually heavy tax on goods sent to

duty On all articles is 5 cents u pound
The severity OF the tax is doubted by
Treasury officials, but they are inquiring
into the facts, and IL 1t is learned that
an unusually high tax is bein imposed, ar
engagements will at once be made for
retaliation, which will be felt severely by
the Canadian government.
There are several ways in which this
can be done without permission of Con-

SUPPORT of entry at Dyea recently created
by Secretarg Gage To please the Canadian
government Another and decidedly more
severe retaliation the Treasury officials
Can impose is to restrict or to wholly re-
strain the operation of the law permitting
goods in bond To pass through the United
States without paying duty. It is not be-
Hcved, however, that it will be necessary
to resort to such severe measures

the proposals should be very carefully ex-

must be somewhat prolonged owing to the

FINED THE MOTHER-IN.LAw.
Mrs. Martin Smith Punished for AS.
saultiDg a Son-in-Law,

The Case of Frederick Weishaupt, charged
with ASA llt upon his mother in-Iaw, Mrs.
Martin Smith, came up before Judge Mills
in the police court yesterday morning. All
parties concerned live on a canal boat. The
testimony adduced tended to show that
Mrs Smith was the cause of alIthe trouble.
She was very much intoxicated last night
and entered into a quarrel with Weishaupt.
during which she became SO enraged that
she eTlrieavored to secure possession of a
butter knife, with the intention of stab.
bing the sonin-law.
The wife, however, although in delicate
health, endsavored to prevent her mother
from obtaining the weapon, whereupon
the enraged woman turned upon the daugh.
ter, and despite her delicate condition.
struck her repeatedly upon the. back and
stomach. This inhuman action aroused
the anger of Welshaupt, who, fearing for
his wife's safety, struck Mrs Smith in the
face, knocking her over chair.
The result OF the blow W as badly swelled
eye, with which the complainant appeared
in the court. After hearing the testimony
of all HANDS concerned, Judge Mills dis
missed the charge against Weishaupt, but
fined the mother-in-law So.
