Stylish Evening Bodice.

The simplest and perhaps the most fashionable bodice for evening wear, says New York fashion authority, is the full blouse shape of chiffon, droop- ing over a fitted silk lining, the top cut out ill square or rounding fashion, with full tulle ruehe, narrow band of fur, fall of lace or beaded reyers to finish the edge. The sleeves consist of short, full puffs similarly trimmed. This is basis for any kind of flower trimming that taste suggests. Rows of shaded pink roses devoid of foliage are in great use on evening gowns this win ter, as are maidenhair fern and lilac sprays, laid upon strands of pink or or ange satin ribbon not more than an inch and half wide

Among the guests now at Hot Springs is one H. II. Anderson. q newspaper man who comes direct from Alaska kIondike has become a matter of ancient history. but he tells some interesting facts about the gold region. He said:
 T saw nothing in Skagway and Dyea that was not overdone except the business of custom officers. These men have d snap. Itfs yio- lation of the law to bring liquor in- to Alaska, but it is constantly smuggled into the country, and the custom officers seize it whenever they can, sell it to the saloon men of Skagway and Dyea and reap a rich harvest. Nearly every branch of business is represented in these two towns or cities. skagway rises to the dignity of a city because it has electric lights, water works, gas works and other plants of metrop9l- itan character. but as already stat ed, they are overdope. and young man without capital in Alaska is decidedly worse off than he is in the states in the same condition.
 t.I spent the winter and most of tue spring in skagway. arriving there in December and leaving in May. En route Co that country and while on board the ship, the principal topic of conversation among the passengers was to solve the problem of how to get the gold out Of the country after mining it.. I have never heard that any of them have been actually confronted with the solution of tha problem.
 If a man strikes it rich in the gold field in years time he is play ing in the biggest sort Of luck, but if Be has the grit and che constitution to stay there four or five years the chances are more favorable.
 There are only three or four months in the year that work can be done t9 advantage. The balance of the time a man is chiefly oceu pied with trying to keep alive | refer, of course, to fife iu the KIon- dike country. On the coast where was, the climate is about as it is in Minnesota.
 T would say man takes Gesper= ate chances who goes to the klon- dike gold fields with the intention of staying until he succeeds. Thegreat majority return poorer than when tAay left home. The laws are not enforced except fn the British pos sessions. All forms of gambling run wide open, and lawlessness gener- ally throughout the country is ram pant"

KILLING SILVER AGAIN.

Since Colonel Bryan rendered his res
ignation as an officer in the volunteer
army the goldbug press has renewed
hostilities. AS a matter of course none
is so vicious as the venomous Times
Herald OF Chicago.
Colonel Bryan was sure of such treat
ment from Hanna's hirelings. When he
rendered his sersices as a private he
was. assailed by towards who were
trembling at the bare possibility of a
CONSUMPTION. When he was elected to
the command of his regiment his de-
famers broke out in a new spot and
filled the subsidized organs of sold mo-
nometalIsm with the vilest sort of vi
tuperation. When he took the fever in
one Of Ayers pest camps every Wall
street vulture circled around and filed
the air with death songs and offensive
odors. 1t is consistent for them to keep
it up to the end of time.
But the official records show that
Bryan stood we'll with the officers
above him. Major General Fftzhugh
Lee expressed to the war department
his regret that Colonel Bryan had de-
cided to sever his connection with the
Seventh army corps, his command.
Major General J. Warren Keifer, a
Republican, a goldbug. a McKinleyite,
an Algerian, and political appointee,
who would be the last man in the world
to say a good word for Bryan unless
ne felt that it was unquestionably mer-
tied, concurred with Brigadier General
Lloyd Wheaton of the First DIVISION
Seventh corps, in the following:
1T is with regret that this resigna-
ton is forwarded, and approved. Colo
mel Bryan's regiment, the Third Ne
braska volunteer infantry, is in a high
state of efficiency and discipline, and
his efforts for its welfare have been
untiring."
He also concurred in the statement of
Colonel W. II. Nfaybury, who said: 1T
is with sincere regret that the First
brigade should lose the services OF SO
efficient an officer"
But AIger hasn't added a line of com
mendadon. Like his Chicago contem-
porary, he viii never forgive Bryan for
escaping from his man-trap.

THE UTAH JURY SYSTEM.

The jury law and the changes made
in the jury system under the state con-
stitution have oceasioned more or less
confusion in criminal cases since the
United States supreme courts ruling
on the matter some time ago.
An attorney has just applied to the
supreme court for a writ of mandate
compelling Judge Hart, who is tempo
rarily occupying the bench in the Third
judicial district in Judge NorreHs
place, to empanel jury of twelve per
sons in the Morris bribery case.
The state constitution provides that
in courts of general Jurisdiction, ex-
cept in capital cases, a jury shall con-
sist Of eight jurors" It is this provision
which Judge Hart is following in his
refusal to empanel a larger jury than
the law evidently contemplates.
BY the schedule of the constitution.
in which the problems OF transition
were supposedly solved, "all offenses
committed against the laws of the ter
ritory Of Utah, before the change from
a territorial to a state government, and
which shall not have been prosecuted
before such change, may be prosecuted
in the name, and by the authority of
the state of Utah, with like effect as
though such change had not taken
place, and all penalties incurred shall
remain the same. as if this constitu-
ton had not been adopted"
This has been construed to mean
that an alleged violator of a territorial
statute is to be prosecuted by the state
as if no constitution had been adopted.
Judge Hart was obliged to choose be
tween the plain wording Of the consti-
tuition, which means no jury at all. it
is contended, and the construction
placed upon another section of the
same instrument.
Several criminal actions have been
abandoned on account of this discrep-
ancy in the jury system. Some plan of
trying these cases should be determined
upon in the interest of justice and for
the protection Of society. The practice
Of disposing of serious charges on bare
technicalites should be ended, by the
courts. by the legislature, or by a con-
stftutional amendment, if no other way
win answer.

We're commander-in-chief and whose

Jim's Baby.
(Truth.l

Two years ago, when the Klondike
fever was an epidemic on the Pacific
coast, John Harms and wife of Suisun,
with their 3-months-old baby, took
passage on a steamer from San Fran
cisco to the gold fields. They took with
them from their home a large dog, of
no special breed; but. as Mr.. Harms
said, dogs are valuable in the W.
kon," and, as Mrs. Harms said, Jim
was babys protector The many
stories of dogs affection for children
We're not exaggerated in Jim's case.
His only object Of earthly worship was
that baby. After q few months resi-
dence on Bonanza creek the baby died,
and Jim was inconsolable. He would
not permit caresses or attentions even
from his master, but kept watch over
the little mound on the hill for many
days and nights. One day he came
home, and, after being fed by Mrs
Harms, trotted off in the direction of
an Indian village about mile distant
He was gone for two or three days.
One evening, when Mr.. and Mrs Harms
were eating their evening meal, they
heard Jim's scratch on the door, and,
upon opening it, there he stood, wag-
ging his tail ferociously and looking
very happy. and at his feet lay a little
Indian baby he had stolen and carried
home, tied up in piece of old blue
blanket, with nothing visible but its
little round face.
