Or evening affairs, while without it it
becomes formal and decollete at once.
AS illustrated, the material is en-
broidered crepe de chine in tender
dove gray, the guimpe cream white
mousseline laid in tiny tucks, while
the underskirt is of the new Liberty
Regence, Yin the same shade as the
crepe. Round the scalloped edges
which finish the polonaise is tiny
ruching or chiffon in the same tender
gray, with a thread of white silk
through the centre, but otherwise the
gown is untrimmed.
To make this polonaise for wom-
an of medium size will require two
and one-quarter yards of material
forty -four inches wide.
Wonan's Gathered Skirt.
Embroidered swiss is daintily
trimmed with fine lawn embroidered
edging and insertion in the skirt
shown in the large engraving. The
skirt has q straight lower edge and is
shaped with four breadths, which are
slightly gored to make less fulness at
the top. The lower edge is trimmed
with a narrow frill of embroidery,
headed by insertion, another row be-
ing placed two inches above. When
tucked or embroidered founcing is
used, the lower edge need not be cut
through, as the pattern may be pinned
on straight and the shaping made
above the decoration. The skirt is
gathered all around at the top. The
mode is especially adapted to span
gled and plain net crepe yelling and
all thin, clinging fabrics, the fare at
the foot being aocentuated by the
fashionably Snapped pstticoat worn
beneath.
To make the skirt in the medium
size will require six and one-half
yards of thirty or thirty.six inch ma
terial.

low, the military commander of the
district Of Havana, has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation to the citizens:
1T is known that large quantities Of
arms and ammunition are in store at
numerous places in this city, greatly
in excess of any possible requirements.
These accommodations are the result
of the war conditions which have ex-
listed for three years, and now that the
city is in condition of profound peace
and no member of the community has
any requirement for deadly weapons of
the character indicated, it is evidence
at once of good faith and patriotism
to dispense with their retention. Actu-
ated by these feelings many citizens
have for several days past been volun-
tarily turning in these arms and have
requested the United States authorities
to receive them. Castle La Punta has
been designated as an armory for their
deposit and receipts are given for the
weapons turned in.''
By the same proclamation physicians
are required to report infectious dis
eases. Saloons and restaurants are al
lowed to be opened until midnight, in
stead of closing at II o'clock. To relieve
suffering and stop professional beggary
the guards patrolling the streets are
to take notice of cases of illness and
destitution, with the locality of the
street and the number, and emergen-
cy rations will be issued. In cases of
illness special food will be supplied by
the DOCTORS

ents averred the belief that they could

in the preliminary proceedings had de-
monstrated that there was prejudice
against them on the part of the trial
judge (Finletter). They also charged
another judge of the county bench
(Gordon) with aiding in bringing the
prosecution and that the latter was
Influenced by political enmity and was
unduly fastening the trial Of the case
with the object of poisoning the minds
of members of the legislature and thus
defeat the reelection Of United States
Senator Quay.
Over three hours were occupied in the
delivery of the arguments of lawyers
The court then took the matter under
advisement and adjourned.

Causes Of Trust T.


Let u5 now recur to the question OF how
to ieal with the natural cause of the trust

how the republican party has dealt with II.
II has studously encouraged mans greedy

ties for It's qualification, thus aggravating
into worse state what was IN a bad state
before. These opportunities ] speak OF

MISSED.
James MiIburn Loses His HOIi.
ness Reputation.
NeighbOrS Think lie Is a Wolf In
Sleeps Clothing.

James NIlburp, until few days ago,
occupied high place in the estimation
OF the people in the Tar Fork neighbor-
hood.
He attended church services faithfully
and could pray more ferventlv, shout
louder, aud sing more ec5tatIcalY than
any other sinner in the temple.
He cultivated an expression that was
eloquent of meekness and humility, and
was universally regarded as holy man.
But alack and alas, James Milburn has
fallen from his high estate, and now his
former neighbors declare he is q wolf in
sleeps clothing.
One OF the Tauls, living near Tar Fork,
missed three head OF fat cattle a few
days since. Another man missed two
head at the same time, 60 both put their
heads together and started on search
for their missing heads. They traced
the cattle to Elzabethtown, and, accord
ing to their story, the cattle had been
stolen by Milburn, and driven to Hardin
county's capital to be disposed Of.
The cattle were recovered
Milburn, it is alleged, also stole sci
of harness from Len Taul.
After Mill urn had cut his crooked
didos and lost the halo of his saiutlinest
he jumped aboard the train at jolly Sta
ton, and hasn't been seen since.
