riage In such a pattern. Another half
princess Is all one at the back from col
lar to skirt hem. The bodice portion
slants away rapidly, passing under the
arms in its way to the front, where it
outlines a low cut-out, fastening with
three straps over the crossed fichu that
finishes the cut-out and show back of
the straps to the waist. The skirt is
open wide In front over an under petit
coat to match the fichu, and the sleeves
appear to be one with the fichu. Such
a gown is charmingly suited to almost
any figure, and so artistic in its plan
that 1t will last a long time in stylish
ness
From the gowns that only suggest
the princess cut, the artist has chosen
one for the accompanying picture, the
suggestion coming in the continuation
of the bodice trimming on to the skirt.
This was a band of wide gold braid,
and at one side of it on the skirt was
a pattern of gold tinsel embroidery,
which pattern was repeated at each
side of the band on the bodice. Yoke
and high collar We're cerise satin en-
broidered with tinsel, gold braid and
tinsel trimmed the epaulettes, and a gilt
buckle fastened the belt, which dropped
little in front and was from the dress
goods-turquoise blue cloth.
Oversl1irts appear occasionally, and
one that was significant because of it's
very artistic management was part of a
stunning ball dress. 1t was of lace,
really no more than deep frill of lace
to the knees. A corresponding frill fin
ished the hem of the skirt. The bodice
was pointed in front and was worn over
the skirt. FLORETTE

"A school for convicts, started little

A school for convicts, started little
more than a year ago in the peniten-
tiary at Deer Lodge, Montana, as an
experiment and to furnish occupation
for the inmates, has been pronounced
success. and now only needs state sane
ton, in the matter of furnishing sup
plies. to become permanent institu-
ton. Teachers of the branches taught,
which are reading, spelling, grammar,
history. geography, arithmetic, algebra.
penmanship, bookkeeping, typewriting,
and biography, are found among the
prisoners, but books and other supplies
have thus far been furnished by philan-
thropic individuals. For good behavior
and for progress in their studies, the
men are allowed diminution of their
sentences, thus giving each convict an
object for which to work, aside from
mental improvement. Nearly every
convict has shown warm interest in
the school, and it is the belief of the
prison officials that a decided advance
has been made, mentally and morally,
by those who have attended the school
regularly.

Chicago gets bad mark from a
burglary insurance company, which af-
ter only a brief experience with the
Windy city, has decided to withdraw
from Cook county altogether The
company has a long list of patrons in
Chicago, insuring them against theft,
but, as one of its officers says, There
are too many burglaries occurring daily
in this territory to make the business a
paying investment" The local agents
have become completely disheartened
in reporting Chicago losses to the home
Office, and they say the placards of the
company, telling that certain premises
are insured againts theft, but seem to
invite burglars. Dwelling house poll
cies will be allowed to expire, not to be
renewed, and all mercantile risks, ex-
cept banks, will be Cancelled at once.

The cotton schooner Vera of st. John, N. B..
Captain Mclean, bound from st. John to
Bristol with an assorted cargo of lumber con-
signed to II. T. Welman. was run down off
Newport by the steamer Priscilla at 30
o'clock last evening. Her deck load was
swept off and her spars were carried away.
The crew of four men fortunately escaped in.
jury. The fog was thick and the two look
outs on the big steamer were unable 10 see
the schooner, and the first intimation of
danger was the crash from the collision. The
Priscilla was running on her usual course and
struck the schooner glancing blow. The
only evidence Of the collision on her was a
break i'm the guard rail forward.
Captain Mclean stated that he entered tho
bay in light wind and drifted along until
the fog shut down so thick that he could not
see and then he stopped his headway and
rang his bell warning. He had Just
anchored when tho steamer ran the schooner
down. Wallace Mclean was knocked over
board by the falling rigging, but he was res
cued by the other men on the schooner. Cap
tain Mclean was knocked down by the rig
ging and barely escaped being killed by the
falling mast. The schooner was towed into
Newport today.
