MUNCIE, Ind, Oct. 5.-our citizens were
thrown into the greatest confusion last night
just at sunset by the sudden appearance IN
the western sky of immense tawny yellow
clouds of the undeniable cyclonio hue. The
clouds. too. possessed the twisting funnel
shape and travelled in zigzag direction for
this city 1t was thought the town would be
wiped out, and citizens ran for cellars and
cyclone caves. But as the clouds came nearer
1t was seen that they were composed of but
terfiies and insects of every kind. Grasshop-
pers that were dropped by the million along
the way showed that they formed g. large por-
ton of the clouds. AS the grasshoppers can
not fly with the velocity Of the butterflies it
was for some time mystery how they kept
up with the procession but close observation
showed that each grasshopper was supported
on either side by two butterflies. AS the but

tired and let fall their burdens in great num-
bers. Millions OF the butterflies seemed sorry

vest of white MORE. Below the revers
on each side of the vest were large gold
and turquoise buttons. The sleeves
We're trife fuller at the tops than most
of the new sleeves. They were finished
at the bottom with tall pointed cuffs
of ermine and lace frils. Ermine faced
the high Medicis collar.
The muff that matched this coat was
of sealskin. 1t was trimmed with loops
and tails of ermine that were held with
large square buckle set with tur-
quoises.
One of the most chic fur capes I have
seen was sort of sleeveless jacket of
black astrakhan worn with pale gray
cloth gown. 1t was close fitting with
short, rounded basques at the front that
formed regular Swallow tails at the
back. There was a narrow vest of
white satin inserted that bloused a trifle
over the narrow white satin belt. The
collar was a high draped affair of violet
satin that was finished with two stiff
pointed ends falling over jabot of
cream mousseline de sole. Short square
epauletts finished the armholes. D
DRESSY LITTLE JACKET
The dressiest little fur jacket | have
seen was made of a beautiful glossy
quality of breitschwanz. 1t fitted close
into the curves of the figure and had
plain basques that were short over the
hips with rounded points at the back
and front. There was short bolero
effect wrought with appliques of gilt

be almost impossible to confound them
with the early winter furs.
While | was in one of the big fur
houses the other day a smart-lokins
woman came in and ordered some alter
ations in her coat.
The salesman assured me after she
left that the coat had been remodeled
twice before this winter. 1t had beer
first q sort of Russian blouse, next a
tight-fitting coat with short, slashed
basques, and now it was to be length

trimming was to be of ermine.

was assured that this was not an I'M
usual case, for the more elegant wraps
that go to the smart women here are

can be detected.

passementere at the front of the jacket
1t continued to the edge of square
pompadour of ermine that merged into
a high straight collar. over the ermine
collar there was a tall rounded medicis
of the breitschWanz faced with white
MORE and filled in with frills of deep
cream lace. The belt was of q very
heavy quality of white MORE ribbon that
ended at the left hip in a long stiff bow.
The sleeves were moderately full. They
were finished with long point that ex-
tended over the knuckles. A frll of
cream lace and stiff loops of MORE rib
bon trimmed the points.
One of the new capes / saw that was
worn with a very swell gray toilette was
made of chinchila. 1t reached barely to
the waist line. The right side of the
cape was cut round and was caught up
to the left shoulder, where there was
great bow of bluette MORE sash ribbon,
with ends reaching to the bottom of the
skirt. The edge of the cape was trimmed
all around with two folds of bluette vel
vet held with a narrow cut steel passe-
mentere. The high Medicis collar was
of the chinchilla.
SOMETHING JAUNTY
A jaunty jacket worn by we'll
dressed young woman still in her teens,
was made of black astrakhan. 1t was
sort of blouse, with short, full, rounded
baSques. The aStrakhan was cut away
at the front to show a yoke of deep
turquoise ottoman silk that merged into
vest Turning away from the yoke
were square revers of the turquoise
silk that gave the effect of epaulettes.
The yoke and vest were trimmed with
narrow bands of the aStrakhan The
collar, a tall straight affair, of the silk,
was trimmed around with double bands
of the astrakhan. Three large clasps
of cut silver with chain fastened the
jacket at the front across the vest of
silk. The narrow center was of the
turquoise ottoman.
This prevailing fashion of garnshing
fur jackets with heavy qualities of silk
or satin, has rather supplanted the vel
vet and plush trimming that was so
popular in the early part of the season.
All of the collets and wraps that make
any pretense of being dressy boast some
trimming of lace or ribbon, and the
rich effect is greatly increased by the
use of jeweed clasps or buttons
These great clasps trim everything,
and women purchase them and treasure
them as though they were heirlooms,
never to be replaced.

The Queen Regarded as an Unprofita-
BILE Guest

Hotel keepers outside of England are
not eager to greet her majesty second
time. The proprietors of the Hotel

passed two spring vacations, decline the
honor of third visit from royalty. In
stead of the queen putting money in the
hotel eXchequer, her sojourn of six
weeks last spring drove away custom

ing and forbids other guests in her do
main. The crowds who come to look at
her and her visitors, who are many, pay
nothing to the hotel proprietor for the
privilege. They don't even order drinks,
and so the poor managers have been
sadly out of pocket in spite of housing
the greatest sovereign in the world.

INVITATION LISTS
A Way to Study Human Nature in
Women

"Show me the principle on which n
woman makes out an invitation list and
I'll tell you what kind of a woman she
is" said a clever student of human ma
ture. There is nothing that more surely
betrays d Woman's real character than
the way in which she parcels out her
hospitality. Pa~.listry and chiromancy
are nothing to an invitation list. 1t will
tell you whether the woman is Chris
tan or hypocrite, a snob or an arsto-
crat, a social upstart or a born lady, a
thoroughbred or hart strainer' as
Thomas Nelson Pages old darby would
say. If women only knew what an open
confessional the issuing Of cards really
is. they would say their prayers, read a
chapter in the Bible and go to early

Capt. Grifliths of the Albert Tells
About the Rush.

The American bark Albert anchor
ed at the Brewer wharf at S:45 this
morning, after a run of eighteen days
from San Francisco. Capt. Grifiiths
reports fair weather all the way down.
In speaking of the unprecedented
demand for vessels to engage in the
Alaska trade, he said:
During the many years have been
running in and out of the port of San
Francisco, / have never seen such Il
demand for vessels as exists there at
the present time. Notwithstanding
the large number of steamers and bar
ges that are being all along the coast
by transportation companies, which
are springing up like mushrooms in
a night, and the no inconsiderable
number of vessels that are coming by
way of the Horn from Europe and the
eastern ports of the United States,
everything that looks like a ship in
and around San Francisco bay is be-
ing pressed into service. They are
digging up old hulls out of the mud
at Oakland creek and converting them
into passenger boats, which are de-
scribed on the circulars as floating
palaces. These will be towed to st.
Michael's, Skaguay and Dyea."
With all this, however, it looks as If

RAPID TRANSIT IN FAVOR. WOULD RAISE HIS SALARY
RECOMMENDATIONS COME FROM
HILO TOWN.
Citizens Request the Legislature to
Make Many Changes in the Judicial
ry-Want Another Magistrate.

Attorney Gardner X. Wilder of Hilo
who came to Honolulu on the Kinau,
Tuesday, states that the Judiciary
committee appointed at mass meet
ing of the Hilo citizens and of which
he was a member, made its report pre-
vious to his departure. Many import
ant changes were recommended to the
Legislature.
1t was deemed proper that the judge
of the third and fourth circuits shall
receive a salary of $4,000.
A new judicial circuit was suggested
to embrace the districts of Olaa, Ka-
aau and Keauhou.
The committee strongly urged the
granting of the same power invested
in sheriffs to their deputies.
The Hilo-Hamakua boundary should
be changed from Oollala to Kaala
gulch.
The law for the construction Of
sidewalks in Hilo should be enforced;
also the law in regard to the inspec-
ton of buildings should be made to
read Honolulu and Hilo."
That law be enacted providing for
the appointment of a road board of
NV w nave tHdISt VI all new WOTh,
also that the expenses of witnesses in
criminal cases be regulated by statute,
and be the same as in civil cases.
At Mr. Wilder's own suggestion, the
committee recommended that the Ho-
nokaa term of court be transferred to
Hilo. The committee is prepared to
show conclusively the folly of holding
term at Honakaa, when a big ex-
pense is incurred to try few cases.
Other recommendation of the COM
mittee, which Mr.. Wilder remembered,
included the trying of civil cases in
the circ1lit to which they belong;
that the section in regard to probate
notices be changed to read not "Hono-
lulu," but "some newspaper of gener-
al circulation to be selected by the
court; that all original writs be re-
turnable not less than one nor more
than six days from the date of SER
vice, and that no change be made in
the present law regarding pork and
beef licenses"

SUGAR IMPORTS.
Immense Quantities are Now Arriving
Daily.

There were over 10000 bags of sugar
being handled in Honolulu harbor
this morning by the steamers of the
Inter Island company alone. Three
of the biggest ships in the American
merchant marine, the Henry r. Hyde,
the ). p. Hitchcock and the Babcock.
were receiving sugar as fast as dom
key engine and natives could throw
it out of the Island steamers, while
the Andrew Welch, the Inca and 9TH
ers of the coasting fleet were likewise
engaged.
Capt. Godfrey in an interview said
boats of his company will handle this
year over 100000 tons of sugar, four
fifths of which will arrive the first six
months of this year. Besides this the
steamers of the Inter Island company
will handle over 10000 tons of paddy,
and about 10000 tons of coal, besides
large amounts of general merchandise
and supplies. Sugar, however, repre-
sents slightly less than one-half of
the entire trade. Only four vessels
have been lost by the company In
twenty years, which is a remarkably
small number.

The song that touched their hearts"
is as old as the hills, almost. The

cessful engagement, made big hit
every night with his bicycle song. He
never failed to bring down the house
when he reached the verse telling
about the good qualities of the Sterl-
ing bicycles. The audiences were all
ready to hear a good word said about
these wheels, and heartily encored the
singer each night. The song was al
most as much of hit as the Sterl-
ing wheels have always been. Pacific
