NeiNel WITH wings ana cn1HOn Oh a
lighter shade in the center.
One of the beautiful large hats
shown by prominent milliner is made
of black velvet, trimmed with white
tulie and long black quilts.
A hat equally pretty but much small
er is a round shape of pearl-gray vel
vet with a crown of jetted black vel
vet and jet wings at one side, with
white and red roses. The jacket that
is to be worn with this hat is beauti
fully fitted tailor-made of pearl-gray
cloth, piped with white satin all
around, showing a vest of white satin
embroidered in gold. The skirt with
the same costume was made plain and
a little long, with two very narrow
folds of white satin forming pointed
apron front.
The spring season shows many fan
ciful and extremely varied effects
among dress fabrics. The material
that will not cling to the figure has no
part among the newest and finest crea
tons. The handsome faced cloths, al
so the new and beautiful cloth called
drap de chine, which is as fine, light
and glossy as silk, and the silks and
atins of which French women so
heartily approve are quite without
stiffness and cling to the figure. The
new satin finish China silk with Per-
sian patterns, the grays, and brown
background with vivid reds, and
brightest blue are much worn.
A dress that answers this description
to certain extent is of French grena a
dine of Nile green color made over q
soft taffeta of the same shade. 1t is
| made with a clinging skirt of Nile
green sa tin with a chenille dotted Dor
der running around the bottom and
extending half way up the front, run
ming to point in the center. The
yoke is made of the dotted chenille,
using the satin for the round bodice
that is brought full at one side with
a cascade of French Chantilly lace and
fastened with three buttons of cut
steel. A velvet collar of darker vel
vet, with the lace to finish at each
side; the sleeve is made to fit tightly
with three folds of the velvet at the
top. The long basque effect is of the
French grenadine with scroll pattern
of black chenille.
The hat for this costume is of two
shades of green velvet. with five rows
of black chenille around the rolling
front; three black tips. with quill. at
one side.
Among the novelties for summer
none is more pronounced than the
embroidery fad for chemisette fronts,
shirt waists, jabots, silk waists. dress
panels-in fact. everything upon which
embroidery can be used. Still another
fad is for lace as trimmings. 1t is
used equally as much as the embroid-
cry but the embroidery is preferred
| when one has the time to do the en-
broidering ones self.

THE MOTOR CARRIAGE.

Among the more recent Developments
of the age is the motor carriage which
is becoming very common even in this
country. 1t has long been in use in
some of the leading cities of Europe.

quite largely in New York and is a
very useful and practical conveyance

tive power is furnished by small en-
CINE and in some cases by storage
battery. The storage battery, how
ever, is not much of a success, as it is
not capable of long journeys without
being recharged. The principle of the
motor carriage is practically the same
as that of the small boats on the river
in which power is generated by the
use of naphtha or kerosene. The time
is not far distant when this carriage

still further reduce the number of
horses in use. The great tendency is
TO mechanical devices which will rem
der unnecessary manual labor or the
use of horsepower. We can imagine
what a picturesque sight it will be
to see families driving out on the
streets in these carriages and stopping
at intervals to do their shopping or
other business as they pass along the
streets. When that day comes how
ever, it is certain that there viii be

ITALIANS IN TROUBLE.
Tony Bartello and Wife Take Peculiar
way of Showing Their Love.

The flag of Italy was again foated
in the justice court this morning and
the defendants at the bar were Tony
Barte11o and his wife, Annie Nick
Bartel1o. It was the old trouble be-
tween the two and the Justice was
called upon to decide which was be IS,
Early this morning Tony appe; red
and demanded warrant for the arr est
of his wife, on the charge of assault
and battery, claiming that she had at
tackled him with sti11eto and he had
barely escaped with his life. A few
moments later Annie arrived and as
she came in the door an odor of witch
hazel and arnica prevailed. She also
asked for a warrant, claiming that
Tony struck her with chair. AS a
proof of her story she exhibited to the
Justice an ugly cut extending across
her head and face and two bad ones on
the arms.
Both warrants were issued and hus-
band and wife walked together to the
county Jail. Later they decided to
settle the matter out of court and both
were released from custody. Barte11o
paid the costs of the actions.

NEW MAN FOR KENosBA.
Frank Truax. Agent for the Northwestern.
Has Been Ordered to Oshkosh.

Christmas week will see some
changes in the working force of the
Northwestern Railway Company in
this city, for it was announced this
morning that Frank Truax, the popu-
lar agent of the company here, will
sever his connection with the local of
cal office on next Tuesday and will go
into the service of the company as
agent at Oshkosh.
The announcement of this change
will be received with universal regret
in this city. For the past four years
Mr.. Truax has been connected with
the local Office and it is doubtful if an
other cou1dshave done the work as well
as he has done it. Under his control
the road has made great advancement.
His personality has had great deal to
do with the great confidence which has
been imposed in the road by the bust
ness men and manufacturers of the
city, and in going to his new work he
will take the best wishes of all.
The advancement for Mr.. Truax
comes as a great surprise, but it has
been known for some time that his ex-
ce11ent work for the company in this
city had made him to be considered
one of the best men in the employ of
the company in Wisconsin. In the adj
vancement of the interests of the
Northwestern in Kenosha Mr.. Truax
has taken an equal interest in the af-
fairs of the citizens of the city. He
has always had the best interests of
the manufacturing and travelling pub
lie at heart and on this account he has
urged that the company extend their
tracks and that they give the people of
Kenosha better facilities. In the So
cia1 and musical world of Kenosha
Mr.. and Mrs. Truax have been very
active and their departure will leave a
vacancy which will indeed he hard to
fill.
The successor of Mr.. Truax will be
Fred Seymour, who comes to this city
from the Office in Milwaukee. He has
been prominently connected with the
railway business for some time and is
well acquainted with the workings of
the company in Kenosha. We be-
speak for him hearty welcome to Ke-
nosha and assure him warm place in
the hearts of the people. Mr.. Seymour
has already taken charge of his new
duties. The other force at the offices
of the company will remain un-
changed.

Matrimonial.

Many of the friends of John Hull,
who was formerly employed at the
Sterling factory in this city, will be
greatly surprised to learn that he has
taken wife to himself. A few weeks
ago John left Kenosha and went to
Chicago TO visit until the shop opened
again and as soon as he reached the
city he was sunited to Miss Martha
Evans, one of the well known young
ladies of the North Side. He didn't
say anything to his friends in Kenosha
in regard to the wedding1but short
tire ago one of the fellows happened
to be in Chicago and found John and
his bride as comfortable as you please
in a coy little home on the North
Side. When the bicycle season opens
again Mr.. and Mrs. Hull will return to
Kenosha to live and a warm welcome
is awaiting them.

A Kenosha peddler with milwaukee Jag

Frank Stap1eton, an apple pedd1er
from this city, on his way home from
Milwaukee by team, lost his bearings
in the school section at Racine about
10 o'clock Wednesday and was in dam
ger of driving over the lake bank when
taken in charge by Special Police John
Ho1burn, who turned him over to Off
Ger Goetz. The pedd1er was then es-
corted to jail while his team was put
up for the night at livery stable. All
the va1uables he had about him when
arrested was bottle of whiskey, and
as this wouldn't pay his fine of So and
costs, imposed by Judge F1ett, he had
had to send to Kenosha for money to
avoid going to Jail for ten days.

A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
Misses Mamie and Dora Cransy Are Badly
Injured in Railway Accident.

- - ~~~~~~''O7
A very serious accident occurred
yesterday afternoon at the railway
crossing on Park street which resulted
in Misses Dora and Mamie Craney,
daughters of Jerry Craney of the town
of Paris, meeting very serious injury.
The young ladies had come to the
city in buggy and as they were at
tempting to Gre SIS the tracks at the
Park street crossing they were struck
by train. Trains had been backing
in all directions, and after waiting
quite awhile, as the gates were not
down, the ladies decided to drive
across. AS they started a freight train
backed up and struck the buggy. It
was miracle that the young ladies
escaped death. The horse started to
run away and both of the occupants of
the buggy were thrown out. They
were picked up by passing pedestrians
and taken to the home of their aunt,
Mrs. George Magi11, on Lyman avenue.
DR.. Farr was called to attend them.
Both of the young women were very
seriously injured and suffered consid-
erab1y from the nervous shock occa-
stoned by the accident. Miss Dora
Craney suffered slight abrasion on
the right side of the face. Her sister
was more seriously injured, receiving
from the fall a severe confusion of the
right hip joint. The two young ladies
will be taken to their home in Paris
this afternoon. The horse which was
attached to the vehicle was badly in
jured and the buggy was wrecked.

The vote of the Christian Endeavor
Convention at Montreal not to support
Sunday newspapers is as laughable and
as a certain other similar in
cident that took place in this city not
long ago, only that other incident was
caused through family politics, while
this one, it seems, can have not even so
much foundation as that. The vote was
indeed far fetched in the face of the
fact that the work on a.Sunday paper is
almost entirely done on Saturday night
while the Monday paper is largely
'made up" on Sunday.
