Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-05-27

For many years the readers Of this
newspaper ave had the pleasure of see-
ing it's columns illustrated by beautiful
drawings from the pen of Miss Caroline
Love Goodwin, of Paris. These fashion
pictures We're not only very pretty. but
they were so accurate in every detail,
that they gained for Miss Goodwin the
title of The Queen Of Fashion," which
was bestowed by a French journal pub
llshed in the city of fashion upon her
work.
Miss Goodwin went to Europe four
years ago upon a commission for this
newspaper. 1t engaged Miss Goodwin
10 go to Europe and remain there to
draw Paris fashions. At that time Miss
Goodwin was illustrating for the New
York Herald. and for Harper's Bazaar,
and many other high class journals. She
left them all and sailed for Europe, talk
ing with her an unlimited commission
TO draw Paris fashions as they actually
exist in the shops. Her sister, Miss Nina,
accompanied her to write the fashion an
ticles.

beautiful ladies engaged upon a mission
or this kind the shop-keepers We're at
first astonisled and increduious. The
work had hitherto been done by men or
BY very unattractiVe elderly females.
But the Misses Goodwin were neither
elderly nor unattractive and they We're a
surprise. Soon they showed that they
could darw Paris fashions and describe
them accurately for the United States
and London; and then the Parisians,
from wondering began to admire. Soon
their taste was actually consulted in the
formation of new fashions.
Miss Goodwin has been in Paris ever
since, drawing for this newspaper. except
for a short time when she Went to Hol-
land to sketch the coronation of Queen
Wilhelmina and to study Hollandese
types.
y During that time her pictures have
been admired by thousands of readers on
both sides of the water and Londoners
have begged that her work might appear
for them in the London newspapers.
Miss Caroline Love Goodwin is one of
the prettiest girl illustrators to be found
in a round-the-world journey. Her hair
is a bright gold, her eyes a deep blue,

PINS DISAPPEAR.

What becomes of pins? This common
household conundrum has at last been
solved by an old gentleman in London.
BY a series of experiments conducted in
his back garden, he has discovered that
pins go the way of all flesh and are re-
solved into dust. Hairpins, which he
watched for 154 days, disappeared at the
end of that time, having been resolved
into a ferrous oxide, a brownish rust,
which was blown away by the wind.
Bright pins took nearly Is months to dis-
appear; polished steel needles nearly two
years n a half: brass pins had but little
endurance; steel pens at the end of Is
months had nearly gone. while their
wooden holders were still intact. III

Young Man Arrested at Dublin on
Suspicion of a Robbery.
Douglas Ga. Sept. 2O.-Readers of the
Morning News will recall that on Sept. II
It was reported in this correspondence that
the residence of Mrs Perkins of Denton
had been robbed; that a young white man,
upon opening the door, was confronted by
a negro and fired upon, and that the negro
made his escape with over $40 in cash.
Circumstances having since developed to
throw sufficient suspicion upon the young
white man, julius NJ. Merritt, late of
Geneva, Ala, as to cause Capt. jim Per
kns to sue out a warrant for his arrest,
charging him with the offense. Mr.. Mer-
rift, although comparatively stranger,
promptly gave bond in the sum of $3.50. He
is young man of geuteel appearance and
pleasing address, and comes from one of
the best families In Alabama. Those who
know him best have not the most remote
idea of his guilt, though apparently cir
cumstances are against him. The young
man claims that some of the citizens near
Denton used some ugly threats TO make
him confess a crime he never committed,
and disgorge the money he never took, but
risked his life to try and save.
