In striking contrast is another ball

tons of real Brussels lace. Starting from
the left shoulder of the bodice, and wan

is an exquisite embroidery of green leaves.
They are fine handwork and represent a
vast amount of skilled labor Caught

Another gown is made almost entirely Of

Describing the recent appearance Of
Col. Picquart as a witness before the Drey-
fus courtmartial at Rennes, the CORE
spondent of the London Daily News says;
col. Picquart defends himself against
the lies of the general staff, but, having
nailed down falsehood he proceeds no
further. and you have feeling that he
takes care Of his life and his character as
much for the sake Of his cause as for HIM
self He knows that attacks levelled at
him are calculated indirectly to ruin Capt
Dreyfus. Col Picquart reveals some of
his moral greatness on his manly and hand
some face. His self-control is perfect. He
never loses his temper. He seems no more
concerned personally with the insults of
Gems Roget and MERCER than with the
barking of ours"

From the New York Press

He also was indignant when his request
to serve in the Spanish war was refused.
The bride, Miss Susan Jones, comes from
Canada, and is 81 years old. The ceremo-
ny was performed by Justice of Peace Bar
less, in the presence of almost the entire
village. All day long the bridegroom
wore happy smile upon his face When
the magistrate announced the words which
made the pair one the bridegroom, a bach
elor, was so elated that he shouted:
"Whoopee, ] am a married man"
After an elaborate dinner the pair start

bride. Stricklin announced to his friends
that he had been on the lookout for
woman that suited him for sixty years, but

THE STATE TRUST COMPANY TEMPORARY
REcEIvER-LIABIILTIEs 81 ies 212 10.
Francis c. Cantine OF No 81 Nassau-st. was
yesterday appointed by Justice Gdersleeve. In the
Supreme Court, as referee in a proceeding taken
by the directors Of the corporation OF Harper q
Bros. publishers for the voluntary dissolution OF
that concern. with view to the reorganization OF
the company. The State Trust Company was ap-
pointed by Justice Glldersleeve temporary re-
ceiver Of the assets of the corporation. The APP
plcaton for the dissolution Of the corporation was
made by George L. Rlves on behalf OF the directors
The corporation was formed under the laws OF
this State in 1896 with capital stock Of s2coooN
and So 10000 worth Of bonds The assets are given
as S. 22 ZIG So The liza bilities said TO be Sl63
H219. The value of the real estate is placed at
sl.2sS,sN
Deputy Attorney General Clarence W. Francis
appeared on behalf OF the Attorney General, and
said that the latter offered opposition to the
application OF Mr. Rives. Mr.. Rives said that the
ordinary petition for a voluntary dissolution Of a
domestic corporation had been filed.
Counsel said It had been the intention OF the par
ties in interest 10 dispose OF the 5000 900 worth OF
bonds and to pay off certain liabilities out OF the
proceeds But the company was unable to sell all
the bonds only 100000 worth OF them were disposed
OF The other 81 100000 were pledged 10 secure the
by borrowing money The profits had not been suf-
fcent 10 pay the interest on the borrowed money
and to pay for the machinery and other appl-
ances necessary for the carrying on OF such bust
ness Mr. Rives declared that ss50.000 OF the debts
were payable on demand and that demand had been
made. One million. seven hundred thousand dollars
in notes were due or were falling due in various
amounts so that there was nearly 100000 OF a
running debt.
On November 2; the firm Of J. Perpont Morgan
& Co made a demand for the payment OF notes
with interest for which they had received hrst
mortgage 100000 worth OF the bonds OF the
company. 80
DEPUTY Attorney General Francis said that while
the assets were placed at 100000 large part
OF them consisted Of machinery and other parts OF
the plant which were OF course, second hand. and
OF plates which could only be sold as old metal
and which were OF small value. He did not think
the assets that could be realized upon Immediately
amounted TO more than 100000 or 10000
Justice Gdersleeve said he would consider
whether. in view OF the fact that large sums or
money might be collected, It would not be well 70
appoint another trust company 10 receive part Of
the assets.
The order TO show cause before the referee is set
down for March Is
