NOTES OF THE FASHIONS.
Materials and Models of Up to Date
Costumes for Stylish
Dressers.

Rounding fronts, arching back to-
wards the hips, represent one Of the
new features of stylish jackets and
coats accompanying the newest tailor
costumes.
Mohair braid in various widths and
buttons of graded size trim the skirts
and bodices Of rough dress fabrics, and
silk braid and smaller tailor buttons
ornament the costumes made of inner
weayes of wool and silk and wool ma
terials.
There is great demand for both the
standard and fancy materialsin Black,
and this fall they are brought out in
very many different weaves, either in
all wool or in silk and wool mixtures.
Some of the stylish patterns are IN
small matelasse effects, while others
are striped diagonally, both in wide
vale and closer lines. Black camePs
hair, with raised stripes in glossy wool,
forms very graceful and smart-looklng
redingote costumes over skirts of plain
black silk, finished with ruche OF the
silk or three rows of milliners' folds
The sleeves are in small mutton-leg
style, and the bodice draperies are OF
black silk like the skirt, which is
preferably of the Muscoyite weave,
with a rich gloss.
The deeply-pointed peplum over
skirts of the season do not always
match the underskirt, and, If pre-
ferred, can be made of an entirely Diff
ferent fabric; therefore, if this par
ticular style finds favor it may prove
most desirable for remodeling gowns
In which two suits or dresses are fresh
ened or made over into one.
velyets are assured of great sue
cess in the seasons Of 1898 and 1899,
for the making of costumes entire, for
redingotes, skirts, wraps, waist com
binations, millinery, etc. Very beau
tiful plain velvets, and also change
able ombre, plaided. striped and mot
tied patterns, are all represented in the
seasons luxurious exhibit.
Surplice effects are much used on
| the bodices of silk or satin wedding
| gowns.
Victoria cords, Bayadere silks, IN
black and dark rich autumn colorings,
| gros-grain, faille, bengaline, imperial
reps-in fact, all the lustrous corded
silks are in high vogue. both for gowns
entire and for combination uses; and
| black repped silk, trimmed with jet,
in the style popular SO many years al
most without change for gowns for
"best" wear, is style that will be
common during the two seasons be-
| fore us.
Fripges Of every width and buttons
In every variety of shape and size are
shown with other new things in the
/ way of dress trimmings, and among
the very old-fashioned revivals is a
cape in long shawl-point shape, both
| front and back finished with fringe
about eight inches deep, with knot
| ted network at the top-a style in
fashion when Queen Victoria was in
her teens.
Many beautiful dyes have been added
TO the seasons color list, which are
effective offsets to shades already IA
miliar, notably Roman red, superb
color that will be much used for dress
accessories and autumn and winter
millinery. The color is neither Grim
son, cherry nor geranium. Cranberry
Jelly, held up to the light in a clear
crystal glass, gives the nearest refec-
ton of its rich, beautiful tone.-N. 4

Charlotte did other tricks with her horses,

When she sent her bowling horse around,
there was another laugh at the expense of
Prince Bernhardt, for the horse had been
taught to bow only to the boxes in which
there were women, and as there were no
women in the princes box he passed by
that serene transparency without nod of

found the inevitable disaster at the end.
The son of Prince William Loewenstein-
Wertheim of Germany, he received fine
education and was favorite in society.
He courted pleasure in ways popular with
his class, and soon the time came when
his large income was insufficient. He be-
came badly involved in debt and, leaving
his creditors in the lIrch, went to London.
There he was taken up by society be-
cause of his noble family and his charming
manners, and in short time his engage
ment was announced to Lady Anne Sa-
vile, daughter of the Earl of Mexbor-
ough They were married in 1897. She
was wealthy, and the prince paid his debts
and started new life under an auspicious
sky.
Old habits were too strong for him,
however, and in November last he disap-
peared, leaving in England, as he had done
in Germany, large number of solicitous
creditors.
In March it was discovered that the
prince was in the Philippines and had
been apparently acting as confidential
agent of the German government.

VANCE AND ERlCKSEN BOTH SHOT DEAD.
dians as toInbstones are to the palefaces.
Vandalizing an Indian grave is quite as
serious an offense as vandaliZing met
ropolitaD cemetery, and muchmore dan
gerous one.
Three miners in Alaska have just dem
onstrated this in q signal manner by get
ting two of their number killed in the ex
pertinent and the third chased out of the
country where the deed was committed.
Sidney Vance. an Englishman; Charles
Erickson, sjwede, and an American
whose name is not given were travelling
near the village of Klukwan, Alaska,
some days ago, when they came to a num-
Der of Indian graves sentineled with the
customary totem pole
Totem poles possess certain charm for
people unused to superst51ions and sym
bolisms in the savage sense. They impress
them as huge fairy wands or something
of that sort-as mystic talismans having
a potency of their own for driving away
evil and influencing the supernatural.
When the three white foreigners saw the
totem pole, they fell untler it's nameless
charm, and nothing would do but they
must stop and daily with the alluring Gu
eli 'u Of large force of Indians hot hun
dred yards away in the brush These In
dians were of the Chilkat tribe, and they
nurtured in their frigid bosoms no super
fiUous affection for the pale face invader
of their domains. They regarded the three
white men with a dicapproying eye even
before the latter had done anything to stir
that unfavorable feeling to action.
IL wasn't long, however, before the en-
terprising ingenuity which everywhere dis
tinguishes the superior races of mankind
began to manifest itself 1t occurred to
each of the three superior minds that the
totem pole would serve excellently rs
groundwork for their initials. The initial
cutting habit got in its work in pecul-
iuriy spectacular way in the next few mo
ments
With three large knives Messrs. Vance
and Erickson and the unknown pro-
reeded TO carve the totem pole with
new set of images The Indians took a
purposeful grip on their weapons and
watched. With savage patience they wait
ed until the work Of vandalism was well
under way, when the whole band blazed
away Vance and Erickson were both
shot dead. The narrator alone escaped by
dOdging into the brush and proving fleeter
than his puI Isuers The latter chased him
and he thought more than once
that he had cut his last initial ON earth
but by good fortune and endurance he
pulled through and got away.

BATTLE WITH ANTS.
Narrow Escape of an English Tourist
In south America.

Il had been exploring a forest in Cen
tral America, said Walter Wbitestone TO
correspondent, and had established my
headquarters in the center of an open
glade about 80 feet wide, when l became
aware of the approach of moving mass
of insects whose nature could not at first
determine, but which spread from side TO
side of the open space in which stood and
whose flanks were lost in tine bush. At
first watched the oncoming army with
lazy Indifference. To be afraid of such
minute creatures was too absurd an idea
to enter my mind Only when the insects
were close TO me did the stories of the ma
tives regarding the terrible power CT the
ant army fash into my recollection. Then
jumped up in a hurry, gathered together
my travelling equipments and prepared TO
decamp. At the same instant l became
aware, from sharp, nipping pains in the
lower extremities, that the vanguard of
the army had reached my outstretched
limbs and begun the attack. / glanced
hastily around me and, horror of horrors,
found that the devilish insects had me in
a circle cutting off all chances of escape,
except through their ranks. With the
skill of expert tacticians they had delayed
attack from the front until the wings had
had time to march ahead and meet in the
rear The cleverness of the little fiends
struck me even in that dreadful moment
when the danger of my position became
every moment more apparent and the
creeping regiments were mounting up my
limbs, sinking numberless hungry beaks
into my skin and biting like myriad Of
tiny demons.
"Inspiration comes quickly to the man
who is being devoured alive by ants. I
had in my camp outfit bottle of kerosene
that carried always for small lamp that
1 used at night. Kerosene 1 knew to be
death to insects With hurried hand
tore open the fastening OF my knapsack
and took out the oil bottle, the demon
army all the while marching relentlessly
up the red track they had made on my
limbs. 4 dash of the kerosene en- my
tingling army and my enemies dropped
in writhing masses, ceased struggling and
lay still as they struck the ground. That
bottle of common Kerosene oil was to save
my life. Ipoured some in the hollow of
my hand and rubbed it on my tortured
limbs. Wherever the kerosene touched it
