colors and standard materials make
the best trimmings. Never forget that
poplin is a winter material as we'll as
summer one. In the dark colors,
such as bottle green, dark china blue,
royal brown and garnet it is perfect.
Since SO great a fascination fingers
around the word new it may be
mentioned that there are several new
things. A silver fox boa may be new
to many when arranged with the head
and two feet at one end, the tail and
two bushy feet forming the other end.
This is expensive but pretty. Another
novelty in furs is the fur toque-they
used to call them fur caps, The toque
has a soft crown caught at irregular
intervals; and at one sideI here is an
immense chiffon or tulle rosette, stand
ing very smart and high. To keep the
tulle or chiffon in shape this weather
there is a lining of silk muslin.
In furs there is another new wrinkle.
Old 1ur coats are made very service
able by the additions of velvet cuffs, a
velvet collar, revers of velvet and some
times a band of velvet down the front
and around the bottom. Take stock of
your old fur coat and see how abun-
dainty this would renew it.
Fur muffs show vagaries. A fur muff
is trimmed at one side with a very
large bunch of tuiie loops from which
! hangs a bunch Of smart tails.
| They also make muffs entirely Of
chiffon, four different shades being
used. A bunch of tails wifi give the
| requisite fur finish.

course there was a soft belt of velvet
at the waist.
The mos eccentric bodices are worn
with tailor-made gowns Bodice pieces
are very fashionable. A set of them
consists of plastron, lapels, cuffs and
collar; and they may be of the same
material as the dress or of contrast
cloth and ladies' cloth.
Tailor-made dresses have another
characteristic. Their fur trimmings
are put on scientifically. Instead of
the regulation bands there are bodice
pieces of fur also, one of the dressiest
of these being a sort Of bolero arrange
ment. The fur is brought around the
front seams under the arms in such a
ia was to look like a bolera. 1t may
be arranged upon a little bolero which
is put. on separately, or the fur may
be simply a way of decorating the
tailor made bodice.
While We are admiring the long
coats, such as the automobile, which
touches the ground, and the long Eng
fish box, which is loose and comes to
the knees, there is another coat which
is gradually creeping upon us and
which is very becoming to the figure
This is the cutaway coat. 1t is tight
fitting at the belt in the front, gradually
rounding toward the back into coat
tails which may or may not be sepa-
rated. Tailors use almost the identical
lines of mans cutaway coat, fitting
it in close to the back, the sides and
the front. and cutting it away below
the belt line.
There is this to besaid for the cut
| away. 1t is very graceful 1t adds
length to the figure and there is a style
about it that IS unmistakable.
A Border Season.
All the tailor-made gowns show a
border. This is border season. II
may be only broad hand of stitching

fifteen rows of the stitching in white
or in a contrasting color: or the JACKIE
border may be of fur. For such out

threatened to destroy every structure

After many hours fighting the fire
was got under control.
Many notable escapes occurred; half
q dozen persons were injured during
the progress of the fire, among them
Policeman Rich, Firemn Taggart and
William Aldrich, Richard Downs, and
William Durkln.
The part known as the west end was
wiped out, including all the saloons,
damaging also the psvilions and other
places of amusement for which Coney
Island is famous.
Help was promptly sent from
Brooklyn, Bath Beach, Fort Hamilton,
and Gravesead.
The fortunate shifting of the wind
alone saved the east end from entire
destruction.
The loss is estimated at half mil
lion. Though large area was burned
over and many buildings were destroy

acter.

to the HERALD.-Lee and Gilliland ap-
peared before District Judge Frank
Parker this morning for trial on in
dictments charging them with the
murder of eight year old Henry Foun-
tain, on February first, 1896.
Both sides announcing their readi-
ness to proceed with the trial, selec-
tion of jury commenced almost i'm
medistely.
The court room was packed with
notables from all parts of southern
New Mexico. Pat Garrett, however,
was absent, having left last night with
q posse to obtain an important witness
from Osero county. It was due to the
absence of this witness that the case
was continued until this morning.
William McNew sat near the prison
ers and George Curry occupied seat
inside the rail. Oliver Lee took &C
tive interest in the selection of jurors
and frequent whispered conversations
were held between him and the attor-
neys.
- Yesterday it was decided to try Lee
hnd Gilliland together for the murder
of Henry Fountain, and a bsttfe royal
willlresult from the effort of the pro-
secution to convict.

The Paris Believed to be Doomed.
FALMOUTH, May 26.-No attempt
was made TO drag the Paris off the
rocks at Lowlsud point this morning
on account of the failure of the tide.
If there is good tide this evening an
otherattemptwillbem be made torelease the
vessel. Her position is steadily be-
more per1lous.
Another break in the hull of the
Paris occurred this afternoon, greatly
increasing the leakage into the engine
room of the steamer. The wind and
sea are rising rapidly, 1t is feared the
beginning of the end is in sight.
