BATTLE WITH A SEA LION.
Thrilling Adventure of an Artist In
the Falkland Islands.

Mr.. II. Havers, an artist now in the
Falkland islands, had a narrow escape re-
Gently from some enraEed sea lions. As Il
rule these enormous creatures, from ID TO
20 feet long and Weighing a ton or more,
are the most gentle and helpless creatures
in creation, but in the breeding time they
are very fierce, as are most animals.
Mr.. Havers was seated on the shore
making leisUrely sketch of Il family
party" Of these queer animals when IA
loud roar in his rear caused him to turn
quickly. just behind him he found "a
monster sea lion, WHICH had just come up
out of the sea, and as he looked into the
red, vicious eyes and the swapping jaws
armed with teeth powerful enough to
crush the thigh bone OF an OK he realized

ROyal Hotel kceDerE.

The king of Wurttemberg may be re-
garded as hotel keeper as well as a
monarch. This has long been tradi-
ton in his family, but not until lately
was it discovered by the rulers of the
beautiful little German kingdom how
profitable innkeeping can become. When
Peter the Great was travelling incognito
through Europe, he refused to stop any
where but at an inn. To circumvent
this within the then king of Wurttem-
berg put tavern sign outside one of
the royal palaces and, dressed as an
innkeeper, himself welcomed the car.
This royal personage's descendant now
owns two large hotels, from which he
is said to derive revenue equaIing
$50, 900 a year.

that he was in great danger and started
to run for the bank, where his horse, with
a gun hanging to the saddle. was sta
toned. An unfortunate stumble, how
ever, left him lying within two yards of
the monster which lifted up its enormous
flipper to strike him. The blow, had it
fallen, would have crushed the life out of
him, but he managed to twist to one side
and before the blow could be repeated had
regained his feet and hurled large stone
into the gaping mouth. There were a roar
and a crunching sound as the rock was
splintered between the huge jaws, and in

ScrVian Justice,

A murderer in Servia must be execut-
ed on the very spot where he committed
his crime. There pit is dug. he stands
in it blindfold, and firing party shoots
him. If he is then still alive, a revolver
is held to his head to finish him. and
finally the earth is sboveled in upon his
body. There seems certain poetic JUS
tice about this procedure.

HEROIC BESSIE GREY.
An Irish Tragedy of One
Hundred Long Years
Ago.
THE BATTLE OF BALLlNAHINCH
Fair Irish Girl Murdered With Her
Brother and Lover-lm-
mortallzed in Song.

This year ireland . 1 Irishmen are Gel
ebrating in various W s the one hun
dredth anniversary Of th Uprising of 1898.
A writer in the Chicago Record relates the
story of one Irish heroine-fos Reiand had
brave women as well as brave men.
Bessie Grey was born at Granshaw in
IT'S. She was the only daughter Of a
small farmer, and, her mother being dead,
she was idolized by her father, who would
never permit her to take part in the house
hold drudgery or farm work. He sent
her to a ladies' school, where she received
an education far in advance of those about
her, But her nature was unchanged by
her Superior attachments; her heart was
continually touched by the distress Of the
lowly people, a distress for which there
seemed no redress. Her beauty and gen.
tie nature won for her many ~suitors, some
in a social station much higher than her
own, but she gave her heart to one in her
own plane of life.
In 1871 the Irish had suffered many per
secutions from ~conquertng England. Many
Irish societies were organized for the pur-
pose of studying ways and means of slip
ping off the yoke of foreign dominion.
One of these societies, and the most pow
erful, was called the United Irishmen.
This was organized in the month of March,
1871, in a public house in Belfast, and
embraced all creeds in it's membership.
The oath of the order was: "In the awful

tuft by a rhinestone buckle. A largo scarf
Of blue tulle, with the ends tuckedin three
or four clusters, was tied around the crown
and hung down the back. The left side OF
the brim was raised and from that point
the plumes were disposed.
This is but a small idea of the great
variety of millinery. One may mention
that there appeared to be more pink roses,
flowers and trimming than any other color.
Hyacinths are among the favorites for hat
trimming partly because they can be made
to stand upright. Heather is another of
tho newest flowers, both white and purple.
Blue forgetmenots are massed In astonish-
ing quantities on some hats. Many novel
shapes are covered with shirred liberty silk
in light colors, also in black. The ar
rangement of these shirrings is surprising
In some cases. The brim Is covered with
the shirred silk, the shirrs running from
the crown down over the edgesof the brim
and under to the edge of the crown. The
shirred silk is then doubled and folded in
to curious shapes, altogether forming what
crown there is. Flowers are put in the
spaces between the Irregular folds and
paradise plumes added to give "a lighter
effect. A few flowers are set under the
brim to rest against the hair.
There is quite a list of new fabrics
shown this week. The most striking of
them is called "opalie'' and has in it a lit
tie of everything 1t is like poplin and is
quite changeable, but rather more opal
sscent. There is a crosswise corded design
In a canvas weave, and ON each side of this
is a lacelike line inwoven pattern. The
iaintiest and most artistic tints and color
combinations are produced in this new
stuff. 1t will be sold for about So d yard.
A new silk and wool warped fabric is
called eudella. The warp is silk and the
filling of ano Australian wool. This is pro-
duced in 40 or so color combinations. It
is q sort of younger sister to eudora, which
is the queen of all silk warp dress goods.
Eudora is to be had only in black. There
are several new jacquard effects on plain
woods, mohairs and silk and VOC One
fancy Is called polar1s and looks like the
frost on the window panes. Others are
in flowers, stars, dots and other delicate
designs, all in black.
Landsdowne is the name of another silk

drapes beautifully, wherefore it will be

All these, together with several new
weayes in wool crepons and silks which

! sented to the public until late in the sum-
mer for fall. Faded leaf and autumn leaf
colorings will be seen among these silks.
It is rather early to write about fall goods,
but as I have seen the samples it will do
no harm to tell what is to be. Traverse
lines in silk weave or heavy waved cords
and different colors will be seen on many
of the fall goods. Zibeline effects are seen
on some of the fall stuffs, and a good bit
of astrakhan curl following the outlines OF
the large plaid twills.

Black ~taffetas are not altogether satisfao-

enough for a grand effect and are so crisp
that they are noisy, an objection with
most people in a dress. Skirts of taffeta
and taffeta Innings are just right, though
a determined effort has been made during
the last year to use lining that gave out
no rustic. MORE velours is a favorite for
separate skirts, and moire itself is often
seen for handsome bodices and blouses for
evening wear to semiformal functions.

WHAT TO WEAR AT THE MATINEE

copyright, 1898, by American Press Assoc
ciation.l
At the present moment fashion is in its
greatest upheaval, for there are winters
goods to get rid of and the Easter gowns,
wraps and, chiefest of all, hats and bon
nets to display.
OF the hats I think the variety is not
SO great as it was last season and runs
mostly to dipped brims and the alpine
shape. Many of the hats have brims some
what in the English walking shape, while
the crowns are made of fiuted and plated
straw standing up in irregular folds.
These are not hidden by flowers or other
trimming, for on these there is little or no
garniture beyond a couple of stiff quilts or
a couple of spread wings.
Some of the alpine shapes have the brims
of dark, fine straw, often edged with ono
band of coarse straw in a different color.
The crowns are of finer straw in light
colors. On a few of these I noticed a BAND
stiff bow, which supports two quilts. This
shape is very becoming to youthful faces,
and them only. Yet many middle aged
women will wear them.
There is a pretty little sailor shape, with
rough and very stiff brim. These have
bands of striped ribbon, often in college
colors, with a fancy bow of the same form
ing a nest where some sort of a bird is
supposed to love to rest. Generally the
trimming to these sailor hats consists in a
whimsical arrangement of stretched little
wings. One had a binding around the
edge of the brim of twisted blue and white
ribbon.
The hat which it is expected will be the
most popular has a medium wide brim
dipped in front and rolled slightly at the
