prominent Lynn manufacturer, twill not
contain so much leather as this year; the
long legged boots will 30 out, surely" Says
another manufacturer Riders wearing
these boots cramp their limbs and prevent
proper play OF the muscles; circulation is
prevented, and the result is that unpleasant
sensation which we term having our foot
asleep" Shoe manufacturers generally
believe that the bicycle boot as We have had
IL this year is TO 90 out Of style, There have
been many indications that the long legged
affairs were going out of date because
they arc so cumbersome. The OXfords
and CATERS are far better than the long
legged boots, and they give far greater
degree of comfort. Too much leather
around the limbs IS productive of much
discomfort. The statesmen who have been
out upon the road lately say that dealers tell
them custom orders on button bicycle boots
have been growing Of late.
The idea is growing of having women's
bicycle shoes made with buttons. Some Of
the high grade city stores noted the demand,
which had to be met with custom orders, as
no button bicycle fOOtgear was then in
! stock This Is one of the ways new styles
are located, as it were-the calls upon city
dealers for goods not In stock. This action
suggests ideas. ut is funny we did rot
think of this before" is the usual comment
when customer presents practical idea
like bnltoned bicycle boot. Such boot
looks very neat and can be made to lit per-
fectly, and it has some advantages not
possessed by other bouts. The buttoned
legglns have long been stylish" says q

buttons when we fit the customers feet"

SUMMER SHOES.
Some Paris Novelties and New Designs II
Langtry.
New York Telegram

AhOW hbAh 'oltSidiAs
Not for some time have we discussed the
question of shoes in this column, for the
very reason, perhaps, that the fashion in
this direction neither changes very often,
or very materially. However, with the
summer of 1897 crop up several novelties
worth mentioning.
III Paris some girls have adopted rather
fascinating little chaussure, which has Il
bright red heel and the remainder Of its
structure in black satin. Even ont of doors
the mode is in favor among few. We fear,
though, that this style of shoe would hardly
suit the requirements of the average Ameri-
can maiden. who would probably prefer the
model in gray chamois leather, with a
graduated applique Of patent from instep to
toe. Very dainty, too, is the Langtry de-
sign in shiny material with a flap cut out
in the shape of u bow, an old paste buckle
being fixed in the centre of this ornamenta-
ton.
Apropos OF tan shoes, we should like
to remind our girls never to wear these
with stockings other than those of the
same fawn tint, says the Daughter. Black
hose are quite failure in such II case.
by the way, the white hand.painted
stockings that were promised us in the
early spring seem to have died natural
death. Lately we have heard no more
about them.

side in an attempt to show the jury
that even if he had, he was not guilty
Of any wrong.
Mr.. Harrison was through speaking
at Ais o'clock, and Judge Elliott de-
livered the charge to the jury. In the
minor features 1T was the same as his
previous effort, but in the principal
features, he changed it SO as to be
much stronger for the state. At the
first trial, Judge Elliott charged that
the jury must find that Dickinson
agreed to change his vote, Or that his
official action should be altered, be-
fore the jury could find a verdict
against him. This is the point dwelt
upon by the defense, because Bishop
had testified that he understood that
Dickinson was always for him. Here
is the charge on that point, which
dashed the hopes of the defense an0
caused an exception to the charge:
But it is not necessary, in order that the
defendant may be found guilty as charged
in the indictment, that the Jury should find
from the evidence that Dickinson's VOTE opin-
ION or action was in fact influenced by such
agreement or understanding, if you should
nnd that 1t was made. If you should find
from the evidence, in accordance with the
law, as herein stated, that the defendant
entered into an agreement understanding
with 4 Witness Bishop, whereby the de-
PENDANT, Dickinson, was to receive the sum
OF $500, and that such agreement or under
standing, to the effect that Dickinson's
future action with reference to this pending
contract should be Influenced thereby, TO
the effect that he would take said money and
use the same fer the purpose of influencing
other members of the city council to thus
secure the printing contract to the Penny
Press Publishing company. then the defend
ant would be guilty as charged in the in
dictment, notwithstanding the '"nt that he
himself may have intended from the first
to vote and work for the said contract = =
The defendant has, in addition to- the plea
of not guilty, interpoSed a plea of former
acquittal, and certain evidence has been Of
fered tending to show the proceedings of
the former trial of this case. 1t appears from
the evidence that after twelve jurors had
been obtained and sworn, knowledge came to
the court that one of the jurors so accepted
was not a proper person to serve as juror
In the case, and that upon showing being
made by the states attorney the court al
lowed him to challenge this juror and that
thereupon he excused and a new Juror
sworn and accepted The defendant claims
that. this amounted to acquttal, but the
court instructs you, a matter OF law that
1t was the right and duty Of the court to
excuse said juror under the circumstances
and that the same did not and does not in
this case constitute an acquittal of the
charge
