can be worn anywhere by slight changes
such as all women understand. The only
drawb back is that a woman sometimes
grows tired of wearing one gown SO
constantly. But such goods always give
satisfaction.
The mohair, sicilienne and silk pop
lin are all used to make frocks for little
girls. They are simple and trimmed
very little. The dainty white aprons are
indispensable adjuncts. These are made
of cambria, swiss, linen batiste, main
sock and jaconet, with embroidered ruff
fes. The wee bit lassies have cozy cloaks
of cream eiderdown flannel, with white
Persian bands of fur on the deep cape
and collar. The coats may, however, be
of any other soft and warm material, or
of eiderdown in any of the delicate and
beautiful tints now produced They wear
big picture hats sometimes and close
hoods at others. OLIVE HARPER. :

NEW YORK, Feb. 8.-There are some
novelty patterns in fine silks shown in
a few houses known for their habit of
importing things made especially for
them, and these goods are always pur-
chased with avidity by the leaders of
styles here. Later the designs and ma
terials become public property, and are
sold everywhere. These novelty silks
comprise the whole of the weeks output
of really new things. They are produced
in ombre or shaded plaids, in large and
also in small check designs. Some Of

Terrible Scenes That Followed the Battle
nf Cold Harbor.
General Horace Porter, in Cam
pniGniEg With Grant" il The Century,
tolIl:g CT the the battle Of Cold Har-
Tor, says:
Tie general III rhief realized that he
was in Il swampy ard sickly portion Of
the ccuntry. The malaria was highly
productive Ct disease, and the Clioka-
tommy fever was dreaded by all the
s,cops who had a recollection of its
iavages when they campaigned in that
'ection Of the country two years before.
The operations had been so active that
precautions against sickness had neces-
tarily been much neglected, and the
general was anxious, while giving the
men some rest, to improve the sanitary
iondltlCns. Ely dint of extraordinary
rxertions the camps were we'll policed
and large quantities of fresh vegetables
were Brought forward and distributed.
Cattle were received i'll much better
condition than those which had made
ltrg marches and had furnished beef
which was Tar from being wholesome.
Greater attention was demanded in the
ccCkiEg OF the food and the procuring
were buried, and more stringent sani-
tary regulations We're enforced through
cut the entire command.
What was most distressing at this
time was the condition of affairs at the
extreme front, No u who did not wit
ness the sights Oh those portions Of the
line where the opposing troops were in
exceptionally close contact can form an
idea of the sufferings experienced. staff

A postotfice Convenience for the Shoppers

Chicago women use the waiting rooms
and parlors of the large dry goods stores
for almost every imaginable end and
purpose.
But the most remarkable privilege Of
oil is the postoffice which one Of thA
largest stores on State street conducts
for the benefit of it's feminine patrons.
1t consists of small iron box which ID
hung on the side of one Of the we'll
stocked desks, and to it are consigned
all the letters which come to the store
addressed to the women who frequent
the waiting room. Plenty Of women find
it convenient to have a-down-town a. ad-
dress. Some Of the letters dropped into
the convenient little box are stamped
and have come through the regular
mail; others are left there for their re-
cipients by messenger boys or their
writer's. The only thing lacking in tho
postal arrangements of this firm is q

A HARD LUCK STORY
Young Man With Crushed Foot and an Un.
pronounceable Name


pronounceabIe Name
Leo Schneutenhaus was the euphon-
ious name given by young man about
10 years old, having the appearance of
tramp, who applied at the receiving
hospital last evening to have his right
foot which had been crushed between
the bumpers of freight train, fixed up
and bandaged. Leo said that he lived
in San Francisco and was Of good fam
lily, but had been roughing it out in
Arizona While beating his way on a
freight train at Ravenna his foot was
crushed early yesterday morning.
He went to the county hospital, where
DR.. Barber wanted to amputate one of
the toes, which Leo would not allow, and
said he only wanted the foot washed and.
dressed. This was done and as he had
some $15 in his pockets and wanted to
go to San Fransicso, he was sent to the
San Fernando street depot in the am
bulance in time to catch the afternoon
train. Leo did not go, but instead told
a couple of young men he struck up an
acquaintance with, that he had been
thrown out of the county hospital when
he could hardly walk. This aroused
their sympathy and the patrol wagon
was called in which he was sent to the
receiving hospital.
DIR. Hagan attended him, and seeing
that the great toe would have to be
amputated, cut it off, dressed the foot
and sent young Schneutenhaus down to
the Arcade depot in time for the night
train on which he was shipped to his
home

JONATHAN JlNKS
A "stag Social" That Resounded With MIrth
and Song

~
and Song
The Jonathans are genial cusses, es-
pecially when let loose by their lonelies.
Their stag social' last night, the first of
a series which Is to enliven spring and
subdue summer, made palpable hit.
Droll stories, funny songs and some mu-
sic whiled away three or four hours in
delightful fashion, till the married men
heard the clock strike IL and the bache-
lors concluded to stay to breakfast.
Charles Sloan. thenotorious humorist,
had charge Of the evenings exercises,
and performed his duties In happy and
entirely satisfactory vein. despite dis
tressinbly lurid display of linen. He
presented the club with finely executed
painting Of London bridge, the work of
Wachtel well Known to Jonathans and
others, now making his mark in the little
transporting village. The picture was
purchased for the club by Callaghan
Byrne.
The president. Fred X. Rule, after
brief burst of eloquence. was succeeded
Cy j. Bond Francisco with his violin, aud
then Jake Brenner was guilty of funny
recitation. which drove the crowd with
aching sides halfway to the billiard
room.
A. r .McCutcheon proved that he had
mistaken his vocation and should have
linked his fortunes and good looks with
the fourth estate" Mr.. Roth and Tom
Barnes both told stories, and a banjo
duet by Ridenbaugh and Victor Wan
konski, whom the irrepressible M. C.
insisted on introducing as Warm
Stufskh," followed. A character sketch
by Messrs. Spruance and Gottschall1
hit number of members in soft
places. but didn't hurt; Clarence A. Mil
Ter told about his mine, Professor Are
valo tickled the guitar and Ed Maud
heaved sigh. Colonel Treat endeav-
ored to look backward, transporting his
astral body to A ID. 1850 and viewing the
Jonathan club from that vantage. Mr.
Thornton was delivered of a recitation
and Messrs. Brenner and Runels gave
bones and piano duet. Billy Barrett
convulsed his audience with a funny
story, and they collapsed upstairs in the
direction of the dining room.

WANTED IN SAN BERNARDINO
An Alleged Embszxier Captured In This City
Yesterday

An Alleged Embszxier Captured In This City
Yesterday
A clever capture was made in this city
yesterday morning when, on tele-
phonic request from San Bernardino,
Detective Goodman arrested and landed
in Jail Harry Allen wanted by Sheriff
Holcomb of that county upon a charge
of felony embezzlement When the re-
quest came that Allen be apprehended
it was stated that he was probably on
board train nearly due in Los An
geles. BY the time the detective arrived
at the depot the train had arrived, but
luckily Allen was spotted just as he got
on a street car half an hour later.
The detective had but a meager de-
scription of the man. and adopteda little
ruse, calling Aliens name, whereupon
the latter turned around to see what was
wanted, and on being questioned ad-
mitted his identity. The crime with
which he Is charged is misappropriating
some 5000 which had come into his pos
session as gatekeeper at the San Ber-
nardina race track. Sheriff Holcomb
was notified Of the capture and will be
down this morning to take the prisoner
back to answer.
