+ A rich gown of white gros grain silk
has been ordered by one of New York's
monied matrons. The skirt is fuller
than is usual at present and is made
stiff by the weight Of it's stupendous
material. Three ruff1es of white chiffon
are laid about it in deep points, simu-
lating long overdress, caught up with
bows of dark green velvet ribbon. The
bodice has a square decolletage with a
narrow heading of chiffon gathered to
cord of pearls. The front is of hand
kerchiefs of exquisite lace sewn with
pearls. The belt of green velvet has
bows arranged in an original fashion
among the lace well up on the left side.
Very short puffs of white silk caught
from below to the shoulder by velvet
bows make the sleeves. Pearls are not
much in favor for evening wear, because
their whiteness dulls the skin; but
with the green of this particular gown
they are most beautiful. A dress
which is to be worn by New York girl
in Paris must be tucked in somewhere
before I have forgotten it. 1t is of silk
with silvery blue ground figure with
bouquets in pink and green. The skirt
has the merest edge of lace at the bot
tom. The low bodice is cut with point
in front and behind, thread of lace
like that upon the skirt softening the
! decolletage. The fullness of the blouse
is gathered under belt of turquoise
blue velvet, which fastens at the back
with big butterfly bow and sash ends
to the ground. The sleeve puffs are OF
turquoise velvet clasped on the shoul-
ders with roses.
But enough Of dresses. | must tell
you of q pretty cape saw last evening
at the Theater des Nauveautes. 1t was
worn by rather sallow brunette, and
helped her dull skin famously. Its
foundation was ruby velvet. At the
level of the shoulders it was heightened
by very deep border of ermine. At
the throat it had great faring Medici
collar, covered on the oustide with
heavy guipure and lined within with
sable.
Another theater cape, containing two
sorts Of fur, velvet and lace in fash
ion almost as sumptuous, was OF chin
chilla, marten, sapphire blue velvet and
guipure. But the sun is coming out
and so must come to period abruptly.

a shoulder strap cannot for any length
of time cohere. They make the effort
sometimes; at other times the strap
expands, perforce, into sleeve.
The square-cut evening corsage ap-
pears oftener than any other form. 1t
is framed with ribbons often, with
flowers or simple edge of lace oc-
casionally. A broader ruche of lace,
sometimes double or triple ruche,
falling down upon the shoulder in
founces, stands prime favorite as finish
for the rounded bodice, though the
folded bertha makes stronger claim to
that position. The V corsage with
draped bertha is used on some very
pretty new costumes, but the front Is
apt to be filled in with lace, leaving the
decolletage really square, or nearly so.
The butterfly bow with its buckle, big
lace-edged wings and long, streaming
ends at the back of the waist is as
pretty as any of the belt finishes. Young
girls, instead OF jewels, wear at the
throat ribbons matching the dress
garnitures. The effect against the
white skin above the decolletage is
usually good, though IL the neck be
pretty any ornament is superfuous. But
for such like conceits it is time one
turned to examples.
Louis XVI. gowns have precedence.
Out of score or more seen here are a
couple of the freshest. A dainty COM
bination of rose color and white is for
young girl of 1S or 10. The skirt of
white silk is striped perpendicularly
with pale water green and figured with
bouquets of roses. Above the hem is a
very wide founce of white mousseline
de sole with a puffed heading. Open
ing upon this skirt is another of rose
pink, silk, making the back and side
draperies and seemingly held away
from the front by rows of rose colored
ribbon which catch it to the figured
silk below. The square bodice is OF
rose satin, entirely covered with blouse
of white mousseline de sole, which is
fitted to the figure with rows Of puff
ings. The corsage figure Is of marrow
puffings, below which is set full ruche
of pink satin on either side to form
an epaulet for the shoulder. There is
a bow of pink ribbon at the bosom and
folded belt at the waist of pink vel
vet. The short, full sleeves are of pink
satin and the gloves of ivory white
suede are more than long enough to
meet them. A pink ribbon is worn at
the throat and another in the hair.
A much simpler dress with the gen.
eral effect of the Marie Antoinette style
and extremely pretty when worn is Of
white silk, delicately figured with small
flowers in pink and blue. The skirt
has two full. narrow ruffles of white
silk at the bottom, above which at in
tervals are set bows of pink velvet. The
low square bodice of the same ma
terial has blouse front gathered into
a pink ribbon belt, with rose of pink
velvet on one side. The shoulders are
set in a square frame Of pink velvet
ribbon with bows above the arms. Full
ruffles Of silk make cross between
epaulets and sleeves. White gloves are
worn to the shoulders.
OF an altogether different style is a
Drincess gown Of black moire velvet

DISASTROUS FIRES.
Seven Persons Burned to Death and 80
Families Made Homeless.

Families Made Homeless.
HoBoKEN, N. j., Feb. This city
was visited by two disastrous fires
between 1880 Saturday night and 3
o'clock Sunday morning. Seven per-
sons were burned to death and 80
families were made homeless. The
Saturday night fire started in the
three-story frame building at 40 New
ark street. Here six persons lost their
lives. They were:
Mrs Nellie Schroeder, 40 years.
Henry Schroeder, II years.
Maggie Schroeder, years.
Kate Schroeder YEARS.
John Schroeder, years.
Willie Schroeder, months old
The father of the family, Charles
Schroeder, was in nearby saloon play
ing cards while his wife and children
were dying. The second fire started
at o'clock in the morning, in FIVE
story double deck tenement at 1877
Fourteenth street, over a mile from the
scene of the first. In this fire three
tenements, Nos. 155, 1877 and 159, were
entirely wrecked and No. 1853 was dam
aged badly by water One child was
burned to death on the fourth floor of
No. 1877. She was Mabel Mangles, 8
years old.
When the police entered the build
ing little save the shell remained and
they were obliged to exercise great
care il climbing about the place. They
finally reached the top floor and made
their way into the front room.
Stretched across the bed, blackened
and charred, lay the mother and
clasped tightly in her arms was the
little baby, Willie. Beside the mother
and baby layed the charred bodies OF
the girls, Maggie and Kate. 1t is
likely that they were suffocated in
their sleep On the floor near the win
dow lay the body of the boy, John, but
the body of Henry, the Oldest boy, was
found under mass of debris in the
hall, burned almost to a crisp The
loss to the building and its contents
will probably not exceed $15,C0O.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.

For more than seven months the eX-
pertinent Of mail delivery by carriers
in agricultural sections Of forty-four
states has been in progress from
certain number Of selected postofhces.
IN at least one respect this experiment
has been an unqualified success; the
people take a decided interest in IT,,
are benefited by it, and do their utmost
10 facilitate the work Of the carriers.
The farmers urge. and in some cases
demand. the continuance Of the ser
vice.
Shoshone journal. [volume] (Shoshone, Idaho) 1884-1931, 1897-09-10

The delivery is most easily and e1ec-
tually performed by the aid OF the 81
cycle. A wheelman, carrying in bag
swung from his shoulder from thirty
to forty pounds Of mail, covers a route
OF about twenty-six miles in from three
to four hours time. Two carriers are
employed on such a route. Every
farmer along the route usually pro-
vides for the carriers convenience a
box, which is placed near the road on
a post or a tree.

too long to be caught by such
scheme; he knows as we'll as German
does that Democratic defeat is well
nigh certain, and he wishes his paper
to share in the credit for bringing
about that defeat, this year, just as it
did in the carrying of the state for
Mckinley and Hobart last year. Mr..
German has been credited with much
political shrewdness, but he will have
to get up better scheme or many
will think that he has been much
overrated in the past.
Those who started that story about
President Mckinley intending to stop
the sale Of the Union Pacific Railroad
overlooked the tact that the sale was
ordered by decree of the u. S. Cir
cult Court. The only thing that
could have stopped the sale would
have been an appeal to the u. S.

menk decided sometime ago not to

That the Democracy is substituting
for the free.silver issue the single-tax
idea and others such is shown by the
action of National Committeeman
Shanklin, Of Indiana, who, in the
same day, addressed Mr.. Bryan as the
next President of the United States
and then stated that he would support
Henry George if he were in New York.
AS is we'll known, George is the orig
inal single-tax prophet and, in addi-
ton to this, is attracting to his sup
port in New York all the socialists,
discontentists, and other lists. This
brings Bryan, free silver. single tax,
socialism, red flags, and various other
cardinal principles into pretty close
touch.
