The skirt was plain, with one row of
round black cord sewed upon it, with
a half hitch at the corner There was
a pretty blazer jacket, and this had
one cord around the bottom and
around the sleeves. There was a gray
silk shirt waist, with a white silk
muslin. frill down the front. This jack

necessary by tapping the revers, where

Some Of the samples for fall gowns
begin to come in, and it will be in
teresting to note just how large the
designs will be. L saw a worsted bro
cade with drab ground and shaded
green yellow dock leaf at least ten
inches long. Another odd design has
an under crackle pattern brOcaded in
the same color--viZ, a soft brown. Over
this are streWn great oak leaves in
russet green. Some of them have bro
caded patterns around the foot of the
gown only, and the material is all
wool, somewhat loosely twisted and
woven, with the pattern on a satin
surfaced ground. There are some mo-
hairs, luStrouS and shining, with a de-
sign of cut leaves or flowers upon them
i'll raised velvety surafce. They look
as if sewed on. One deep, rich blue
mOhair had crimson to black shaded
maple leaves upon it. There are also
printed wool delaines with red shaded
maple leaves on a black ground. Blue
flowers of uncertain species are also
printed upon some of the things, and
shaded yellow and brown and russer
leaves are among the designs printed
or woven into many of the new wooden
goods for autumn. l noticed a printed
cachemire of a light pearl gray ground
beStreWn with Withered poplar leaves.
Some of these have yellow shadings,
others are green fading off into the
Withered leaf ready to fall, and others
look brown, dry and crumped, ready
to become the sport of the cool
breezes., They are really poetic if one
can only see it So Frost bitten wood
3bine is the motive of another design or
a smooth wooden stuff All these are
but importers samples, but they give
one general idea that we shall have
rich and harmonious colors and designs
rather than inartistic guadiness. In
fact, these designs are as perfect as if
painted, even to worm eaten leaf,
and the materials are rich and soft.
AS / said, some are brocaded in quite
a high relief, and others might be call

Mr.. Frank Carpenter has published a
Geographical Reader, so we'll adapted
to its intended use, that too much can
hardly be said in its praise. Asia is
the continent treated in this volume,
which we hope is but the first of a
series. 1T is not intended as a COM
plete geography or a summary of the
geographical knowledge of the lands
described, but as a supplement to the
study of the biographies in use" Mr..
Carpenters treatment of the countries
and people of Asia, is of the kind
which impresses- the reader with the
reality and living force of the things
described, and we belive a course in
Asiatic geography will be rounded out
and vitalized by the use of this little
volume. .,.e-...
The illustrations alone are so intelli-
gently selected and artistically COM
plete, that nothing farther is needed
to reveal the countries of Asia to cur
ious little folk. Most of the illustra
tions are reproduced from photographs
taken especially for this volume by
Mr.. Carpenter himself, during the two
years spent in different parts of Asia.
Many of the descriptions were written
during this time when the. author was
amid the scenes described from whence
he has but recently returned.

Queen Victoria Becoming Feeble,

London, March Io-The queen today
left Windsor for Nice. Despite the
statements that have recently been made
that the queen is in perfect health con-
sidering her age, Her Majesty is neatly
powerless to walk. SCiataca is what the
queen suffers from, and lately it is be-
coming so much worse that she can only
walk few feet, and that with difficulty.
When she entered her carriage today
she had to be carried, and for some time
past she has been wheeled around the
palace from room to room Ia chair car
riage 1t is this growing infrmity OF the
queens that has neCessitated the Prince
of Wales and the Duke of Connaught
having so much upon their shoulders In
connection with the celebration of the
Goth jubilee celebration. 1t also adds
credence to the rumor that the queen in.
tends to abdicate her throne in favor of
the Prince of Wales Immediately after

An Immense Library.

Chicago, March Io.-On the irst OF
next month Chicago will have another
library, the John Crerrar, which will be
open to the public about that date and
dedicated to the use of the people. The
library is located in the new Marshall &
Field building 1t is now something
more than six years since John Crerrar
died, leaving the residue of his estate
after the payment of numerous beque ,ts,
for the creation and endowment in this
city of a free public library. Ths total
endowment of the library in the various
properties left by Mr.. Creraar is esti-
mated at more than s2,5oo,ooo. At the
time of the opening the library will have
in the reading room 5000 volumes and
the current flies OF 1000 periodicals
ready for the public. There are over
$4,000 volumes ordered and of these TO-
900 have been received. 1t is the plan
to add to these volumes as fast as pos
sible all of the standard works required
and to place them at the disposal OF the
public.
The special feature of the reading
room al the time of the opening will be
the library of periodicals. No attempt
has been made to secure, rare or expen-
sive volumes, though the cost of book
does not place it out of reach if it is
needed on the shelves. Clement w. An
drews has been appointed librarian.

All reports agree to the effect that
The Sacramento. at Mercur, is making
a wonderfully fire showing at the pres
ent time. and ali who have visited TINS
splendid property unite in saying that
il gives promise of coming to the
f~ont in time as the peer of any of
the producers of this great gold camp.
Fred J. Leonard, who was in Mercur
the first of the week, and who made
a thorough examination of this prop
erty. informs The Herald that he was
more than surprised at the magnificent
showing of ore exposed in this prop
erty. In fact ne was astOunded AID
stated that every stockhoider in the
company. if possible. should make
visit to the mine, which has bodies of
ore blocked out and in sight which
cannot be excelled by any producer IN
the district.
At the present time there are over
$500 feet of drifts and tunnels in the
Sacramento. all of which are in i'm
mense bodies OF good milling ore, some
of which show faces of mineral from
70 to so feet in depth, and in at least
five drifts the men were at work on
mammoth deposits of pay mineral, and
as development work progresses there
is seemingly no end to the great chutes
OF pay dirt, and it is estimated that
there is now enough ore blocked out
and in sight in the mine to give con-
stant employment for three or four
years to come a mill of ESQ tons daily
capacity.
In this connection Mr.. Leonard also
stated that it was now an almost as
sured fact that the company would
soon increase the capacity of its plant
TO at least go tons a day.
In the operation of the present mill
the company - running through every
thing that comes from The mine. and
so far no stopping has been done, the
mineral treated being furnished from
the results of development work only.
L am Of the opinion said Mr..
Leonard. in conclusion, that the stock
of the company is a snap at present
prices. and it is well worth half dol
lar a share.

NEW GOLD STRIKE REPORTED.
SPLENDID Showing in the Creole Mine
at State Line.

State Line, June 29.-Since my last
weeks letter we have had new
strike in an altogether UNEMPLOYED part
of this district. IL lies about three
miles south of town and has caused
quite a stampede. 1t was discovered
a few days ago by Frank Warner. the
stage driver from this place to Desert
Springs. He found quartz float while
looking for his flock and brought some
of it into camp. 1t horned beyond eX-
pectation. The section was considered
heretofore to be outside of the mineral
belt. as II is a different formation, be-
ing a contact in granite and trachyte,
the ore being crystallized quartz
that contains the gold.
The mill that / referred to some time
ago-a 2G-stamp plant-was started for
this place and was al Kamas City on
the G3rd Of this month. SO Colonel NJ
gent says, and he has letters to that
effect.
The Creole is working steadily with
q day and night shift, and is sending
out ore of a high grade. The Creole
is now past the prospect stage and is
mine, and 4 big mine. Every pound
of rock thai comes ou- is good milling
rock They win have a mill ere long
to work their own ore. as the dump is
growing. They don't know how svide
the vein is, as they have no walls so
far. They are in the tunnel J40 feet
and are running It about six feet wide.
About the same number Of people
are coming and going continually.
Colonel Pickett Of Salt Lake is in
our camp again. He was in here for
a week last winter. but we had too
much snow at that time TO look the
ground over TO his satisfaction.
PTospectors are doing assessmene
work on their claims with good re-
suits.

New York July L.-Today's market
was somewhat cratic, the earlier hours
of the day inclining TO reaction, but a
stronger tone developed this afternoon,
which carried prices all through the
list above last nights closing level.
There was no news regarding the gem
eral situation TO account for The early
decline, and ii must be attributed to a
general apprehension among the pro-
feSsional traders that the advance in
prices has outstriDped conditions. The
late strength did not develop until after
a period OF feverish uncertainty. and a
hesitating and somewhat timorous eff
fort on the part of the bears to take
control of the market. There was a
decided falling off in activity and in
the outside interest in the market all
day Nor was there any general heavy
selling TO realize apparent. The decline
gave every appearance of being purely
manipulative in character, the bulls
seeming to assent to it as promising
benefit TO the tone of the market. 1t
was not of a character TO invite ag-
gressive short sales and in fact the
sales that were made for short account
were covered before the end of the
session and were largely responsible
for the rally. The feature of the market
all day was the ease with which prices
moved both up and down on small
transactions The late rise was ac
complished without any very heavy
buying, rejecting the disposition on the
part of the heavy operators to nurse
the reaction for the purpose OF re-
operating the market and preventing
its too rapid advance. London already
reflected an increased confidence in the
stability of values here and bought
quite freely during the day. General
news as to the outlook for business
continued favorable. The transfer of
5000. 600 in currency from the sub
treasury to New Orleans is considered
an indication of increasing business ac-
tivity in that section.
An order from Europe for 100000 in
gold went begging in Wall street. there
being no adequate profit in the trans
action at the ruling rate of exchange.
The governments good showing for the
fiscal year with a deficit of less than
SO. OOO. 600 against an estimate a year
ago of over So. 600, 600 is looked upon as
favorable factor.
The bond market displayed good
tone on moderate transactions which
were largely restricted to the leading
MORTGAGES. Fluctuations were quite
narrow. but with fairly uniform frac-
tional gains. The market showed some
irregularity at times. but ended with
the princiraI lines showing advances.
The aggregate sales were $1,322. 600.
Governments were dull. but hard
ened fractionally. The transactions
were $1,000
