braiding is used in open patterns over
the whole upper part of the skirt,
sleeves and waist, the circular flounce
alone being plain then, again, the or
namentation Is evenly divided. Two
wide circular runles put on almost
plain are in silk costumes a substitute
for a deep flounce. The blouse front
is less pronounced than it was last sea-
son, and is often drawn together at the
front by a fancy single button or simu-
lated straps. Sleeves are smaller, and
a new idea is to extend the shoulder
trimming over the arm-hole seam and
then it is called the extension sleeve.
THIS MAY BE CALLED A FLARING
SEASON.
The hats flare. the skirts flare. the
capes flare, and even the jackets flare.
These last do not lack variety. A
three quarter, richly trimmed coat,
with cutaway fronts, rank first. and in
black velvet, richly trimmed by jet,
with fur collars and revers the appear
ance is elegant. Then comes a medi-
um-length tight-fitting jacket, covered
with braid: next the ordinary box coat,
then short Jackets, with loose or tight
fronts. Capes are cut circular, then a
flaring circular piece is attached, and
the front or side view is anything but
graceful, and the longer the cape the
more awkward it appears, as addi-
tional flares are put on as trimmings.
COLLARS ARE HIGH
and very fiaring, except on velvet gar
ments, and new revere is almost tri-
angular, one side of the front tapping
over the other, bringing theJrevers di-
rectly in front. The ordinary double
revers is. however, not out of style.
In addition to colored or jet passemen-
terie and every species of braid and
braiding gathered ribbon trimmings
will be much in vogue, and this already
apparent in millinery, where gathered
satin baby ribbon" is put on ineXpen-
sive velvet hat crowns, as a matter Of
course in fancy figures. A new mllin-
cry color called violet-blue is welcomed
by rosy-faced young people, while fad
ed faces are frightened by rich. shad-
cd crimson velvet. Fannie Field.

A PET RATHER.

From the New York Press.
Dick DRAWINGS pet rattlesnake is
the chief curiosity Of the Deep Hollow

was blasting bluestone rocks in the
Great Bend township mountains,
great mass of rattlesnakes was thrown
high in the air by the discharge of
powder. Nearly all of The serpents
We're killed outright, but one of them,
the biggest of the lot, escaped with
serious wounds.
Draining, out of curiosity, picked up
this rattler, carried it to his house and
placed it in a box of cotton, and some
how was glad to see it gradually re-
cover. When the stage of GONZALES
cense had passed the snake crawled
about the yard. and in a few weeks
ventured into the house, where it soon
became a. pet. 1t was named Pete.
The big snake seemed to be grateful
for the care lavished upon it and en-
deavored to show it in various ways.

shaking its rattles and will twist it.

tribute TO the mobile energy of the
young and athletic mine owner, Morris
Holmes"
Athletic? Eleanor repeated the word
with much satisfaction. 1t was OF
moral athletes she was thinking, and
it pleased her nightly that this word
could be thus applied to Morris.
In few months she received q Sec
ond newspaper. published like the
first, in town adjoining the mines.
and giving the news of that section of
country. It also contained a marked
paragraph. hut the marking was ir-
regular black lines. of Jagged pencil,
and on the border was drawn a rude
hand, pointing to the notice, and the
badly written but legible name "old
Geordie."
Eleanor read in a few intense words
the news that had been sent to her.
There had been an accident in the
mine. The roof of an entire chamber
had fallen and buried twenty miners
beneath 1t. The men were rescued
with great difficulty, and some of them
were badly injured. When all were
supposed to have been saved. there was
n walling cry. and the wife of "Old
Gco"dic" struggled from the hands of
friends and tried to throw herself into
the mine. Morris Holmes, pale and out
of breath, called for mon to so down
with him to rescue Geordie. No one
responded. The men owed their lives
to their families. and they knew the
danger of a falling roof. So Morris,
with one look at the blue sky above
Rim. swung into the cage and was
lowered alone amid an awe-striclien
silence. into the bosom of death. There
was not much more to tell. When the
signal was given there were willing
hands to help deliver the two men
from the wreckage, but only one came
PIP alive The other had succumbed to
the fatal damp. A long panegyrlc fol-
lowed, but 1t meant little to Eleanor.
Her eyes rested on four oft-quoted,
hackneyed lines. that closed the story;
| they would never leave her:
For whether on the scaffold high,
Or in the battles van,
The fittest place for man to die,
| Is where he dies for man."
She had found her hero, never again
to lose him. He had returned on his
| shield.-Detroit Free Press.

MARRIAGE MADE EASY.
An Alleged American Industry in
Western Waters.

From the London Tid-Bts.
To marry you for nothing, and then
give you $25 in gold and wedding trip
is what an enterprising American
steamboat company has offered to do
in order to stimulate marriage and
strengthen its returns. The steamboat
company in question runs boats regu-
larly during the summer months be-
tween Chicago and Milwaukee, on the
shores of Lake Michigan.
This last place is known as "the
town of easy marriage" and it is to
this spot the young men of Chicago
take their brides during the summer
months to undergo the wedding cere-
mony. Indeed, one minister in Mil
waukee alone, the Rev. w. A. Huns
berger, has earned for himself the title
of the marrying parson," and II is es-
tlmated that for some time past he has
united over 1000 couples annually in
the bonds of matrimony.
The steamboat company has sent out
over 10000 invitations to the young
men in Chicago and the surrounding
towns, Offering to marry them free of
cost and also to provide them with an
annual pass for two on any of their
Milwaukee. To those, however, who
are willing to allow the knot to be tied
on board there is a further inducement
of a present of S25 given by the COM
paEy. The invitations are said to be
allurng and persuasive. They are
very prettily got up and are illustrated
with six pictures, representing Chica-
go, the steamer on the lake, Milwau-
kee, a marriage ceremony on the boat
steaming under full moon and, lastly,
Chicago again.
Many will no doubt wonder in what
way the company will benefit by this
extraordinary and novel method of in
creasng their business. In the first
place, il is undoubtedly the outcome of
the fact that at Milwaukee, in the state
Of Wisconsin, there is the absence of a
license law, which is imposed in Chi
cago.
Again, local ministers and civil off,
cials make more from tying couples in
molly wedlock than they do from their
salaries; and, lastly bridal couples are
always accompanied by numerous
friends, who, of course. would pay for
their passage, refreshments and other
necessaries. So far the company is
said TO be receiving acceptances In an
swer to their invitations at the rate OF
500 day, and it is expected that hun
dreds of couples will be married on the
company's boats during the season,

did not have the obstacles to contend
with that Farragut had both at New
Orleans and Mobile Bay. Dewey, how
ever, has shown himself to be wor-
thy pupil of the great admiral, and
had the opportunity offered, he would
have demonstrated that he possesses
all the requirements that go to make
a great naval commander. 1t was no
fault of his that he did not have un-
der his command a much larger force,
or that Montojo was not proportionate-
ly strong. He took what he had and
handled his resources with all the dash,
tempered with sound judgment, that is
so necessary to great success in naval
enterprises.
