Inuuo OF wnite satin, braided with gold.
Them was line OF white satin brought
over thu sleeve, and this too, was richly
braided. The suit was unusual. Black
moire astrakh1n also made rounded
Jacket, with simulated vest. There was q
full ruflo of doubled blnck silk upstand-
ing and another laying out against the
fur This was very jaunty and was worn
with rich poau de sole skirt. There was
amCng these new costumes one that was
quite unique. 1t was of broken Scotch
plaid In dark reds and browns. 1t was
cut In princess form and closed at the left
side under fiat band of inch wide gold
braid. There were buttons and loops.
There was yoke of white ribbed silk
richly braided with red and gold. Below
this was a very short scant cape effect
bound with krimmcr. 1t was for a young
lady. There was blouse suit worth no.
tice. This had n plain skirt Of cadet gray
whipcord. The blouse was of dark blue
whipcord. The whole blouse was covered
with a sprawllng design in silk braiding
and beaded passementeric.
The wooden stuffs for winter are now on
view, and they are handsome aud elegant,
the colors being deep and generally dark.
Many of the twillCd and armllre weaves
have friso borders, sometimes in plain
stripes and again In plaid or lattice weave
designs The black frise and bouolc bor-
ders are exceptionally rich, and they look
as IL sewed on Camcl's hair has border
ing made of zibelne stripes. The plaid
borders are very curious, being in single
blocks in black and different shades of the
color in the body of the material. Russian
cord is one of the newest of the woolens.
Some Of this material had sort of a bay
adere effect by undulating lines of very
heavy cord i'm different colors, woven so
that 1t forms n set trimming for the bot
tom of the skirt. poplins are offered with
fancy woven bordering and corded lines
in different colers, so that they suggest
ribbon bands. Armurette is made new by
having dots and dashes Of soft wool above
its surface. This drapes very gracefully.
Basket weave and honeycomb are also
shown, both thick and made of camel s
hair. Monkey skin is very hairy variety
of the zibeline cloth, and 1t has hairs long
and silky in different colors to match the
body Of the fabric, not to differ as 1t has
heretofore done. There is new pilot cloth
in a satiny cloth. 1t is reversible and
shows different color on each side. The
prettiest are on leaf green and drab. The
drab shows family through the green, and
vice versa.
Among the tailor suitings is sort of ma
terial which is cross between armure and
tricot, with slight film of hairs above
the surface. These hairs are lustrous black.
There is also fine whipcord that is soft

Der of places Of worship. He overcame
this and soon made converts by the
thousands among the Singalese near
Colombo. Many gave up jewels and
fancy dresses to devote themselves to
the cause. From India he went to Aus
tralia, where he joined Rev. George
I ,Grubb. Afterward he pursued his work
In England, Scotland and Ireland. At
Kenwick his work was especially not
able
Soon after he returned to India, and
one day, while addressing $4,000 Syri-
ans on the open plain, the sky darkened
and black clouds gathered. The lead
ers of the Syrians present urged that it
was sign of Gods disapproval, and ad-
vised the people to disperse. Mr.. David
prayed aloud that the clouds scatter
harmlessly, and his prayer, he says, was
needed, for the sun broke forth and the
multitude became loud in its assertion
of faith.
Mr.. David's religion consists in re-
signing everything TO Christ and being
happy. No matter what happens he
praises the Lord and takes no thought
for the morrow. No contributions are
solicited nor collections made at his
meetings. Yet he has travelled all over
the world and has wanted for nothing.
In India Mr.. David has made thou
sands of converts to Christianity, he
says, some of his most effective work
having been done among the native rail
,waymep and portmen. He has visited
England and the Christian countries Of
Europe and Australia, and everywhere
he goes he tries TO diffuse the supreme
happiness he enjoys among his fellow
men.
At all times and in all places, whether
his audience is one or ten thousand, he
earnestly breaches the doctrine Of the
abundant life found in a complete sur
rendering of self to the Lord. Mr..
David came to America four months
ago at the invitation of F. E. Clark
"Father Endeavor" Clark, the father of
the Christian Endeavor movement
and was first heard at the San Francis
co convention.
Since then he has been successful in
conducting revival services in Portland,
Ore, Sacramento, orthfeld-Dwight
L. Moody's home-Worcester Glaston-
bury, Brooklyn and New York. He
came to Chicago on the invitation of
Rev. Frank Crane, pastor ofThe Trinity
Methodist church. He was welcomed
by large audiences.

LIGHTNING BUGS.
Taken For the Enemy's Fire. They Led to
n Pitched Battle,

Pitched Battle,
q. II. Bell, a prominent merchant of
Liberty, Neb., told an interesting story
of how a swarm of lightning bugs caus-
ed shot and shell engagement between
two armies during the late war.
II was a member of the Twenty fifth
Ohio regiment, said Mr.. Bell, ''and
Mr. G. w. Harris, whom / met on my
visit here, was with the Fifty fifth Ten
nessee just discovered that we fought
each other one night in May, 1864, at
New Hope Church. Ga. Lightning bugs
in Georgia are more plentiful than wa
termelons i. August by several millions
to the s1Care mile, and on more than
one occasion they gave us trouble.
About 2 o'clock in the morning as
the two armies lay in their respective
works, 400 yards apart, nest of bugs
hove in sight, as we afterward learned.
The armies were too close for pickets.
Suddenly there was a flash of light,
Each side thought the other had opened
fire in some mysterious way, and we be-
gan to shoot. We blazed away at one
another for an hour or more and Bed
lam reigned with shot and she'll The
timber between the lines was all killed
as if belted with an ak. Fortunately no
lives were lost.
"It was only the other day that
learned the extent of the damage caused
by that swarm Of lightning bugs. /
asked Harris how long his side was fir
ing, and he said until their ammunition
gave out. We were in the same fix, and
if it hadn't been for our poverty in this
respect that engagement would havn
been terribly fatal. st. Louis Repub.

breaches HAPPINESS.
Cheerful Religion Expounded by
an Evangelist from India.
". II. David, a Native of Asia, Meets
with Unexpected Success in Com
Jucting RevIvnIs in the
United states,

From India's coral strand comes the
Apostle David to America to spread the
Gospel Of Christ. V. ID. David, brown
skinned native of South India, began
his evangelical work in Chicago the
other day in Trinity Methodist church.
Mr.. David claims TO be "the happiest
man in the world" because he has re-
ceived what he calls "the more abun-
dant life"
David was born in Tunnevelley, South
India, in 1853. His parents were Chris
tian agents in the Church of
England mission field. He took
an academic course, but says Of
himself that he constantly got
into trouble because of his uncontrol-
liable temper and mischief. Finally he
left for Ceylon, where he spoke Eng
lish to the masses and claims that he
made the people believe he was great
preacher, when in fact he "felt himself
to he a shell without a kernel" AL
though only 16 years of age he dis
played unusual oratorical powers. But
he shifted suddenly from preaching to
the liquor business, The proprietor of
a big liquor store in Ceylon hired him
to take custody of the money, and he
also became proficient in games baga-
telle, billiards and cards. Next he
started liquor store Of his own in
Colombo in company with a Singalese.
One day his mother entered the place
and entreated him to come home. He
did return and was married. His wife
was Christian and he soon quarreled
with her. Once more he went to Cey-
Ion, but again his mother pleaded with
him and he consented to become mis-
sion worker.
His conversion to Christianity is an
Interesting chapter of Mr.. David's life,
The Salvation Army, he says, gave him
the first clew to Christian life. He
then went upon the highways and
preached to all who would listen, but
he was hooted and elected from a num-

ana is warranted not 10 gov snIny with
wear which that offered before unfortu-
nately would always do. Whipcord makes
O beautiful background for braiding show
ing it up better even than broadcloth.
BrOadcloth is one of the first favorites of
this winters tailor fabrics. 1t takes any
trimming from fur to lace, but looks its
best when tailor stitched without any other
garniture. Velours is another of the ma
terials used EOr tailor gowns. Scotch
cheviots are always in demand, plain or
in stripes and large or small checks with
surfaces as rough and ruggsG % the
mountains of Scotland. The black chevi-
OTIS for over generation have been worn
as handsome street gowns. The colors,
when the cheviot is colored, are always
well chosen and refined.
The newest silks are mostly intended
for grand occasions like ceremonious din
ners and similar functions. The first Is
sort Of basket weave. This is very rich
and soft and when all in one color it has
the appearance Of being two or three,
owing to the effect of the light falling
upon the threads. When in white or sill
yer gray, it looks almost like metal in the
evening In gold color 1t is dazzling. 1t
is so far more liked for waists than full
gowns, and even then is partially veiled
with lace. In black or other dark colors
it is still rich and striking and it is not SO
very expensive. There are splendid moires
and watered silks, some of them having
the water lines wrought with gold or sill
yer thread. Some Of the finest white moire
has colored satin stripes over 1t. This
makes superb gowns with trains Not all
goods look well in train. Some other
moires have large coin spots Of brocade of
the same color thrown irregularly over
the surface with excellent effect. Some OF
the most beautiful silks ever saw have a
raised or embossed effect. These are called
cameo silks. Whatever the design is,
whether floral on waves, the embossed pat
tern is of the same color as the rest, but In
different shade, generally darker, though
sometime5 lighter MATE LEROY.
