FASHION NOTES.
Neat and Pretty Features of the New
 Costumes.


 Costumes.
 Chine effects are still the keynote of very many elegant and pretty fancies i'll the world of dress, the patterns ap- bearing among silks, satins, muslins and silk-and-wool fabrics and instead of the crisp frou-frouish taffeta silk dress lining, pretty chine brocades are much used. Then a 1ounce of the same, cut bias, pinked on both edges, and placed inside the hem. is imperative. These fancy silks look well for change, but the shot patterns, or, bet ter still, the plain lustrous taffetas in monochrome, are really the most ele- gant and refined choice.
 Some of the new dress skirts have a vertical or otherwise circular trimming carried from the waist downward to the depth of half 2 yard or so. Many wom- en will be glad of this fashion, for a perfect figure below the waist line is rare, and it is always the study of the ncdiste to rectify this trouble, and the severe uncompromising skirt that has So long prevailed gave the wearer no chance of improving upon too great slenderness, nor of moderating the re- 1lndaney of the figure by judicious trimming. For the first-named defect, circular decorations are carried quite around the figure about the hips, and f'r the second, vertical garniture of un- equal length, and slightly radiating as they desecrd rreatlv modify the effect of over broad hips.
 The checked, broeaded, striped and barred silk-and-wool materials im- ported this season are suitable for any ordinary occasion, and fl tailor-made and sYlishly trimmed, they form ele- gant church, visiting and carriage cos tgIues. Some of the mohair Sjciliennes are likewise as handsome in appearance as rich silk, and the white and cream patterns for evening, bridesmaids, and graduation dresses are as elegantly dec orated and delicately silk lined as white satin CT taffeta silk.
 The woman who wishes to look her best must never blindly follow any and every new caprice of fashion, but aim to adapt fashion to her own special needs. Take, for instance, the very large ruches and collarettes now so popular. Very many women purchase these full frilly accessories, with no thought beyond selecting the shapes which please their fancy They put the huge airy yokes about their neeks, and in not a few cases they have a bison-like appearance. As a rule, the all-round collarettes are not so becoming to most figures as the pompadour style, or, bet ter still, the shape cut in deep points one on either shoulder, the other two or three on the front and back respective ". Some of the latest collarettes are much elongated, not meeting just in front, but taPering downward, forming n sort of border to the wide box plait which still distinguishes the front of many fancy waists this season-N.

Example of Practical science.

French scientific journals contain accounts of the surprising achieve ments of the inhabitants of the com mune of Monceau-sursOise, not far tom Paris. There, in little village of only 250 inhabitants. the streets are Lighted by electricity, electric lights are to be fonnd in the church, in all tAe houses. and even iH the stables; and the farm-buildings in the neigh horhood of the village arc illuminated in the same manner. More than this, the commune possesses a large thresh- lng-machine driven by electric power and capable of threshing 900 sheaves of grain per hour, besides tulip-cutters, crushers, sorters, pumps and other az rieuitural machinery, all set in motion by electricity. The power is derived from waterfall, and combining their interests, the inhabitants of the com mune have made science illuminate their streets and houses by night, and drive their machinery by day, more cheaply than these things could be done by the old methods.-Youth's Companion.

FRUITS CANNED AT HOME.
They Are Cheaper and Better Than
 Store Goods.

They Are Cheaper and Better Than
 Store Goods.
 It is said the American stomach has universally suffered from the use of canned goods. This, of course, applies only to bought goods which contain some chemical to preserve them. Peas, beans and tomatoes are treated to ppe- serve their color, and with the excep- tion of tomatoes all vegetables, it is said, contain something to prevent fer mentation. Fruits, being without starch, keep more easily than yegeta- bles, but many are variously treated to insure their fair appearance as com mereial articles. Nearly all fruits, and some vegetabies are easily eanaed for winter use; and if 8 house5eeper once gaeplies Der own storeroom3 bought goods will never after have an attrac- tun for her. Il is a mystery why we use canned tomatoes when we are so often warned against their injurious effects, and when home-canned ones are so much better, altogether whole some, so easily prepared and keep so well. Perhaps it is because of an inn pression that the bought ones, at nine or ten cents a can, are cheaper. This is not the case. The first cost of quart jars, at retail, is GO cents dozen. To- matoes, at the height of their season, can be bought, even in cities, at 25 or even 20 cents a bushel So even the first season . quart jar would not cost ten cents, and after that the cost of the jars can be subtraeted, making the cost of the canned vegetable nominal.-Ella Morris Kretschmar, in Woman1s Home Companion.
 Clocks That Turn Ont the Lights.
 In these days of electricity it is not essential to have somebody turn out the lights. Time switches are made which can be attached to clock and made 10 turn out electric lights at any deslreo hour. Suppose, for instance, the hgh5s are in q show window, and it is desired to put them out ct midnight. At tha' hour the clock closes Q circuit, permit ting the passing Of an electric current l sa the switch. which, thus released elts of the electric light and so put' | eut the lights.-N. Y. Sun.

BARONET BEHIND THE BARS
Prisoner at Frisco Claims He is Nepbew of
Sir Ashley Cooper.
Police Think He is Noted Bank
s"fndIer and Are Investigating
His Past History.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. September l.
In the person of Sir Harry westwood
Cooper, NJ. D., now confined in the city
prison, Chief of Police Lees believes that
he has behind the bars one of the most no.
torious bank swindlers who ever operated
in this or any other country despite the
fact that he is under thirty years of age
He was arrested at the Langham Hotel
and a dispatch of inquiry as to Cooper was
sent to the Bankers Protective Association
and there came back the reply that he was
a noted swindler, and was wanted by the
association for fraudulentH work done in
the east.
Soon after Coopers arrest his room at
uves. and in his trunk were found a lot
of certified checks and drafts, which the
police believe TO be bogus.
Cooper claimed that he was a nephew to
the late Sir Ashley Cooper, surgeon to
Queen Victoria, who, he said had died
into Sir Astley's title and succeeded TO his
vast estate in Australia, with a present
value of S600,0O0.
Having created the desired impression
by his talk of titles. estates and possess
sions. the police say that Cooper began his
fraudulent work, and they claim that be-
fore he was caught he had succeeded in
victimzng a number of people.
1t was but one or two days ago that
Cooper, for the purpose, is claimed, of
assuring John Z. Gallagher. the proprietor
of the Langham, of his unstinted financial
resources, gave into GallaGher's hands a
draft on a Chicago bank for $500 This
and they confidently assert that they will
prove it to be worthless.

Senator Wellington appeared In Wash
ington today. He went to the office Of Sec
retary Gage, accompanied by Assistant
Treasurer Sloan of Baltimore. They had
conference with the Secretary. They came
out. Senator Wellington refused to talk to
a Star reporter, having, it is supposed,
come to the conclusion not to talk for
few days.
Have yor withdrawn your Endorsement
of Dr. Tuck?" the reporter asked Senator
Wellington.

"Will you do SOP
Il may but 1 can't say now
Notwithstanding this it is known beyond
doubt that the senator informally notified
Secretary Gage that he would withdraw
his Endorsement of DIR. Tuck for collector
of internal revenue, and that he will come
to Washington when the President gets
here to present another man for the posi-
tion. Three weeks ago Senator Wellington
was here in the interest of DIR. Tuck, and
threatened to go all the way to Lake
Champlain to have DIR. Tuck appointed
that he might get the best of the combina
ton against him. DR.. Tuck was elected
chairman of the republican convention of
Maryland over the Wellington nominee.
Senator w Wellington changes his mind about
DIR. Tuck being such an eligible person for

Representative Mudd has not been idle
since the convention. He, too, has seen
and talked with Secretary Gage, but it is
not known what he had to say. This was
several days ago.
Secretary Gage will take part in the
fight. He announced a good while ago
that he would leave the whole matter to
the President to settle, and this will be one
of the questions which will vex the Presi-
dent Immediately upon his return.
