Waterproofs of Covert Coating.

New waterproofs for fall and win
ter wear already have come to the
markets. Nearly all discard the
cape. The long coat model is the
one preferred.
Big pearl buttons appear on some
of the waterproofs; those which are
made from covert coating, There is
tendency to revive the waterproof
coat, made from heavily woven
cloth, in plain colors and checks,
and unlined with rubber. However,
the latter sort, with a dOublure of
satin, is in vogue in the new coat
shape, sans cape. CapeS always
were in the way when one held al
umbrella.
Many women who have not been
able to make up their minds to adopt
the shortened skirt for wet weather
complacently wear old shortened
garments hidden under a smart new
waterproof, getting credit for dis
tinctiOn in til -ir dressing and doing
away with wet skirts about the
ankles.

Many of the new hats shown are
very large and are trimmed in eX

the form of drapiugs, rather than
with smoothly applied materials,

turned back boldly in most instan-

1t is the fancy of the moment to
trim toques as much on one side a

SLID DOWN INTO THE SEA.
Two Hotels, - Monastery and Sew
eral villas EnguIfed, and
Four Vessels Destroyed.

Rome, Dec. ga terrible disaster
took place last evening at Amalf, the
popular tourist resort on the Gulf of
Salerno. About two o'clock an enor-
nous rock upon which stood the Cap
puccini hotel slid bodily into the sea
with deafening roar and without q
moments warning, carrying with Is
the hotel, the old Capuchin monastery
below, the Hotel Santa Calerina and
several villas.
Many people were buried in the
debris, which crushed four vessels to
the bottom of the sea, destroying their
crews. The mass of earth which
slipped was about $4,000 cubic yards.
The population is in state of terror
fearing fresh calamities.
Troops have arrived upon the scene
and begun rescue work.
It is believed the loss of life is
heavy, including a number of monks
and the occupants of the hotel. AS
yet it is impossible to ascertain the
exact number.
Amalfi is a small but lively town of
1000 inhabitants, cituated at the en-
trance of deep ravine, surrounded by
imposing mountains and rocks of the
most picturesque forms.
The Capuchin monastery was fC und-
ed in 1912 by Cardinal Pietro CaDuano
for the Cisterians, but came into pos
session of the Capuchins in 1888. The
building, which stood in the hollow of
the great rock that rose abruptly from
the sea to height of 23O feet, con-

NO MORE WILD WEST INDIANS.
The Interior Department Will, Here
after, Refuse to Loan In
dams to Showmen.

Washington, Dec. ga new depar-
ture in the policy of the department of
the interior is emphasized by unequiv-
ocal refusals which have met all re-
cent requests for loans of Indians for
exhibition purposes, and Secretary
Hitchcock and Commissioner of In
dian Affairs Jones have determined
to stop the abuses of the privileges,
and have so stated in a number of
communications lately. Mr.. Jones
said t:
'"There will be no more Indians per-
mitted to leave their reservations for
Wild West exhibition purposes. They
can not secure the consent of the In
dian bureau for their exhibition, save it
be along the lines showing the prog
ress of Indian education. The day ct
the departments permitting Indians
to be let for Wild West shows and
such affairs is past. 1t demcralizes the

form to more civilized ways but for
the dollar and cents there is in con-

HASTINGS, MIMI, BURNED.
Nearly Three Blocks i'm the Business
Portion of the Town Destroyed
of Incendiary Origin.

ST. Paul, Minn., Dec. ga Hastings
(Minn.) special to the Dispatch says:
Nearly three blocks of buildings IN the
business portion of the town, princi-
pally fronting on Vermillion street,
were burned early yesterday with "a
loss of about 100000.
The fire broke out in r. G. Libby d.
Co.'S sawmill, evidently the work of
an incendiary, and the entire plant,
with planning mill, store houses, lum-
Der, Office, sheds, etc., were consumed.
One million and half feet of upper
grade lumber were also burned.
A strong northwest wind was blow
ing and flames spread rapidly to ST.
Johns hotel, owned by John Klies, and
the saloon of Klies & Grub, both
buildings being laid in ashes.
The flames then swept across Second
etreet and laid low business houses for
nearly a block, including the agricul'
tural implement store of F. A. Engel;
Charles Knoches' tailor store; w. L.
Van Aukens, sewing machines and
musical merchandise; w. j. Zuzek,
harness; Magnus Olsen, gunsmith, AMI
Mrs. S. j. Truax, millinery store, be-
sides badly damaging Theodore
Schall's jewelry building on the west,
the residence of Matthias Reuter-, two
additional store buildings of r. c. Lib
bey & Co., and tenement dwellings oc-
cupied by Bert Paulson, owned by Lib
bey & Co. Sparks finally extended the
fire to the four-story stone building
of w. r. Mather, in the adjoining block
to the south, which was quickly en-
veloped in flames, and nothing but the
walls of the old landmark remains. 1t
was occupied by Mr.. Mather as an ag-
ricultural implement store and resi-
dence. The blacksmith shop and paint
shop of Cavanaugh & Currier was to-
tally destroyed.
Most of the buildings burned were
only partially insured, and the loss
upon the owners will fall heavily.
The firemen engaged in desperate
battle to keep the fire from passing
across Vermillion street, but the
sparks set fire to the roofs of the
courthouse, the church of the Guard
ian Angels and other costly structures
and residences, but were extinguished
with little damage.
The city seeming in imminent 'lan-
ger, Mayor Frank Busch wired the
mayor of ST. Paul for aid and as soon
as possible two steamers and supply
wagons were sent down which ma
terially aided in subduing the spread
of the flames.

.LET ME LIKE \ SOLDIER FALL"
Gen. LawtOn's Choice of n FavOritc
Air Proved Prophetic.

Air Proved Prophetic.
New York, Dec. 2O.-During the
early years of the civil war, a party of
young men walked out of a theater i'll
this city after the performance of the
opera, then popular, Maritana. Stand
ing head and shoulders above his COM
panions, Henry w. Lawton, then a
captain in the Thirtieth Indiana, was
perhaps the most conspicuous of the
group. He had only recently been
promoted from the first lieutenancy
in the Ninth Indiana, and he was OF u
short furlough to New York.
He grew enthusiastic over the per-
formance. He had not been able, in
Indiana, to see much of opera, and to-
gether with his natural liking fo,
music, the martial spirit of Don
Cesar de Bazan completely won Linn
The tenor on that occasion was an ex
cellent one, and the young captain
was taken with the famous solo be
ginning:
YES let me like a soldier fall
Upon some open field
At the conclusion of the many EN-
cores Capt. Lawton turned to his
friends and remarked that the song
expressed his sentiments in their en-
tirety. AS Lawton walked out of the
theater he tried to sing the words, but
beyond the first few he could re-
member little. Then he would hum
the tune until those who were with
him remarked that he ought to learn
the music before trying TO give it.
But good-natured banter did not
seem to lessen the love of the soldier
for the sentiment and air. Wher he
returned to his regiment he went TO
the bandmaster and asked him to get
the music and to learn the piece upon
which his fancy had fallen. When the
selection arrived, the bandmaster WAS
dismayed to find that it was almost
strictly a tenor solo. Nevertheless. 80
persistent was Capt. Lawton that the
bendmaster turned the solo into
march, which the band played as One
of the favorite pieces of the regimeuC.
And during the continuous rise OF
Capt. Lawton through the various
grades to that of colonel of the regi-
ment, he never lost his love for that
bit of song with which he had become
enamored that night in New York.
After the war, his love for the piece
continued until among his friends it
became almost known as Lawton's
song.

LEES ARROW WOUND.
An Unknown Incident of the Gener-
ais Participation I'm Indian
Fights I'm Texas.

1t has often been noticed that when
ever Gen. Fitzhugh Lee visits the white
house he stops to have chat with Capt.
Loeff1er. who stands guard at the presi-
dents private Office and the cabinet
room. This is generally attributed to
Lees pleasant way of treating every
one, but it has another origin.
Before the civil war Lee was lieu
tenant in the old Second cavalry, after.
ward reorganized as the Fifth. LoeffleI
was a trooper in this regiment and later
a non-commissioned officer. His COM
pany was one of the two which were
engaged in sharp fight with the Kiowa
and Comanche Indians in the Cim-
maron country in Texas in 1859. The
Indians had taken refuge in narrow
canyon which could be entered only
from one end, and there had thrown up
a fortifcation of logs from behind
which they poured hot fire into the
troops. The character of the canyon
was such that the horses of the cavalry
were useless and they were left outside
the men advancing on foot. Only few
of the Indians had firearms, the rest
using bows and arrows. Had the In
dians been as well armed as they have
been in later wars, the loss of the whites
would have been very large; as it was
only four or five soldiers were killed.
though the Indian loss amounted to
nearly so.
A charge was made upon the log fort,
and Lee, who was dashing officer and
wonderful favorite with his men, was
the first one to scale the breastwork
The arrows were whizzing all about
him, and one struck him in the breast,
infiicting very ugly wound. AS he fell,
the confusion was so great about him
that the arrow was pulled out of his
flesh and thrown to the ground among
other arrows, whole and broken, so that
no one could tell afterward whether
the head had remained in the wound
or been drawn out with the stick. 1t
was impossible, therefore, to say how
seriously he had been hurt, and he was
carried at once to the rear where "a
litter was improvised of saplings and
boughs. He was laid upon this, which
was swung between two horses, and
thus he was carried back to the wagon
train, distance of more than $50 miles
through a rough country. Probing
showed that the head of the arrow had
fortunately been drawn out, and in due
time good nursing put the lieutenant on
his feet again.
This is an incident in Lees career
which is apparently known to very few.
1t is of interest, also, that the old Sec
ond cavalry had for it's colonel Albert
Sidney Johnston and for its lieutenant
colonel Robert Z. Lee, and that Hardee,
of tactics" fame, and George H. Thorn
as were two of its majors. The captain
of the company in which Fitzhugh Lee
was first lieutenant was Kirby Smith.
Loeffier served with credit in the union
army during the civil war, was given his
white house detail by President Grant,
and was appointed by President Nc
Kinley as military storekeeper" in the
regular army, with the rank of captain.

Chippewa Indians will have the body
