Contest for the Estate.
Los Angeles. Cal. July 2O.-The at
torneys for Nicholas G. Crcede. the de-
ceased Colorado miner, have unearthed
an iron-clad deed. signed by Mrs. LOU

clude the possibility of the widow max
ing successful contest for any part or

1897. and is 4 properly executed and
recorded deed of grant. bargain and
sale. by which Louisa Creede. for the
consideration of 10000. conveys to
Nicholas c. Crcede her interest in all
property. both real and personal and
mixed of every value and description
and wheresoever situated. as well as
all properties owned by Creede. at the
time of the execution of the deed, as
well as any that might afterwards be
acquired by him from any source what
soever.
This deed was signed and sworn to
before n notary public of this city and
is so shaped that ii protects every dol
lar of Creede's deeds and property
from any claim advanced by Mrs.
Creede. Creede's will was discovered
and will be field for probate Friday.
From all accounts Mrs. Creede's at
torneys have not been informed by her

estate is valued at about $3.50. 900. and
S5d.j01 is divided in to several legacies
to Creede's relatives and friends.

dian of the child Dorothy.'and is nam
ed as one of the executors of the will.

tunes for the Season.
BonnctS this season are very much
more attractive than the co>-1slomerate
creations called hats.
In compliment to the queen of Eng
land there is resemblance among
many of the imported models to styles
popular early in the Victorian era.
Some of the new tailor costumes have
bolero fronts and narrow position
backs. The vest is a fitted blouse of
fancy silk laid in soft folds across the
front, or else tucked to form l deep
yoke.
The crossed or surpliccd blouse will
be highly favored this summer in MAX
ing up toilets of rosebud organizes.
Louis XVI. striped muslins, printed
lawns. soft India mulls and similar dia-
phanous stuffs. On some models the
folds end at the belt under a fancy belt
with a very handsome buckle, or else
a girdle made to match the dress trim
mings. In other cases the folds termin-
ate in long scarf ends that are various
~ adjusted at the side, or often they
are carried to the back and loosely tied
like the scarf ends OF Marie Antoinette
tichu.
Beautifully curving revers and sharp
ly notched fronts are characteristics of
the new elegant Louis coat basques
made by Rauchnitz, Mayer and FeliN.
a marked feature of the modes this
season is the abundance of decoration
about the neck and shoulders; gauzy
ruches, fraises and rufus, accordion
plated frills and bows of great size are
worn in the most becoming fashion,
and upon fascinating evcniug-dress
models for the coming summer are
Medici, Robespierre, Stuart, Victorian,
Josephine. Queen Bess and numberieSs
other stately collars of historical name
and fame.
Amazon cloth in many bright self
colors is favored by French and Eng
fish modistes and tailors. This make of
lustrous cloths wears we'll if one pays
a fair price for it, but cheaper grades
are quite apt to spot with rain, and in
other ways it is also likely to prove I'M
satisfactory wear.
The new canvas, which is somewhat
coarse, is particularly shiny. 1t is
made up over a silk lining of contrast
ing color, or otherwise is lined with
self-color i'll a Lighter or darker tint
than the canvas. Gray watered silk
forms the lining of a new sheer canvas
gown of silver tint, dotted and barred
with mauyc. The effect of the moired
silk through the transparent meshes OF
the canvas is extremely rich and pretty.

The Lowest Rates Ever Made to an
Exposition in This Country.

The Exposition in commemoration of the
hundredth anniversary Of the admission of
Tennessee into the Union is not local af
fair by any means. 1t far surpasses in ex-
tent of buildings, beauty of grounds, inter-
esting exhibits and number of both foreign
and home attractions any exhibition ever
held in this country, with the possible ex-
ception of the Columbian of 1893. Located
as it is on the main line of the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad it is in the direct line
of travel between the North and the South,
and can be visited en- route with loss of but
little time. The extremely low rates that
have been established make it cheaper to 60
