The latest Partisan idea is to have
chemise and petticoat made in one.
The upper part is cut to ft.the figure
without the least vestige of4fullness,
and then below the hips it widens out
into an ordinary skirt. These gar
ments have simply a4strip of lace or,
ribbon to support them on, the shoul-
ders and fasten down the centre OF the

Turkish Coffee Popular.

To prepare coffee in true Turkish
fashion is now the fad of some fash
ionables. Those who are inclined to
rebel at the idea of coffee thick as
mud are assured that ones taste for
this coffee, as with olives, must be
educated. It is brewed in tiny brass
saucepan from coffee ground fine as
dust, and only enough for one can De
made at time.

for its pockets, is not unlike that used

SHOT BY HIGHWAYMEN.
Aged Vermont Citizens Seriously
wounded.

Bfattleboro, VT, March 0.-Jossph
Houghton, aged seventy years. for many
years prominent resident Of GuiIford,
and who has been living In Brattlsboro
this winter, was shot and seriously
wound ed. this afternoon, By one Of thres
highwaymen. who undoubtedly intended
robbery. The shooting took place about
three miles from this village Mr.. Hough-
ton had visitsd Guilford during the day
with his team and was returning home
late this afternoon when he met three
rough looking men who ordered him 70
throw up his hands. He Immediately
struck his spritsd horse which sprang for
ward. At the same Instant, the tallest OF
the three fired revolver, the bullet pass
ing through Mr.. Houghton's neck, and
iafiioting o most painful wound.
Although bleeding profussiy he drove
to Brattleboro, and several ply sicians
were Immediately summoned. After re-
oeiving the necessary attention he was
taken to the home Of his son-in-law. Mr..
HoughtoE's oondition was reported 30 be
serious at late hour tonight, but 1t Ii
believed he will recover.
The men were seen shortly after making
their way through Guilford village and
appeared 10 be in great hurry TO get
outside the populated limits. They Sc
cured Q good start Of the officers as it was
not known that the shooting had taken
place for about two hours.
The hiahwaymen were overtaksn and
surrounded at about nine O'Clock. and af-
ter several shots had been exchanged they
succeeded In making their escape in the
woods. Police officers and several citizens
Of Guilford started out in the early eve.
ming in pursuit OF the three men, and
after driving 3 distance Of about five
miles from the scene Of the Houghton
shooting they overlook the men In the
highway, but the latter took up their po-
sition In an open pasture.
One of the town officials in the pur-
suing party commanded the men to
throw up their hands, at the same time
informing them that they were the men
wanted for the shooting OF Mr.. Hough-
ton. The men refused to obey the order,
and one Of them opened fire on the party,
shot from the revolver hitting Edward
Tubba, farmer In Guilford, the ball en-
tsring his right thigh. causing serious
but not necessarily fatal wound. The
officials then opened fire and several shots
were exchanged and 1t Is believed that at
least one Of the men was wounded. BeiuR
closely pursued, the highwaymen with
the revolver stopped firing and the three
men fed over hill into the wooded dis
trict, whore all trace was lost. =,
Only one Of the men appeared to have
revolver. The three men were sesn In
Bratt leboro during the afternoon, and
while they all speak English 1t Is be-
II eyed they are Poles.

Convinced First Posi-

Reciprocity Treaties Likely To

New York, March s.-A Washington
special to the Sun says:
Today's early adjournment of the SEN
ate. owing to the announcement of the
death of r representative Harmer. "the
Father OF the House," afforded the steer
ing COMMITTEES an opportunity to hold
their first session, and IL was q most i'm
portant one. The unsatisfactory stu.
alton with regard to the various pending
SO much disquietude was talked over and
q subcommittee composed Of Senators
Hanna, Aldrich and Spooner. were dele
gated to consult with the President with
a view to harmonious action between the
Executive and the Senate. The joint
conference took place at the White Hous'
and was protractsd until nearly mid
| night.
IL was the sentiment of the steering
committee that as matter Of policy 1t
would not do fer the Republicans to
change front on the Puerto Rioan ques-
tin now, and that therefore the provision
for tariff of Is per cent Of the Dinghy
law rates, as passed by the House and
incorporated In the pending Puerto Rioan
bill, ought to stand. 1t was agreed, how
ever, In view Of the conflicting views OF
Senators and Of the strong free trade
sentiment In various parts of the couE-
try to let the discussion run for some
time before calling caucus to decide
upon united party action. Whether the
steering committees views are to be up
held by the caucus or a policy Of free
trade with Puerto Rivo adopted, re-
mains to be seen.
The meeting of the steering COMMITTEES
was a result OF the general conviction
among the leaders that something should
be done at once to harmonize the differ
enoes among the Republicans regarding
several Of the mora important matters
now before the Senate, differences which
In their opinion seriously threaten the
success of the campaign upon which the
party Is about to enter.
The seriousness Of the situation result
lag from the efforts Of the AdminiStra-
ton to secure the ratification Of the
French treaty was strongly impressed
uron the committee by Senator Aldrich.
TIE latter pointed out to his colleagues
the principal defects In the treaty as he
saw them, and gave his reasons for
thinking that Its ratification would seri-

corresponding 10 the two United States
senators, were nominated in State con-

responding to the members of the United
States House of Representatives were
nominated by the several congressional
district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot
law entirely changed the procedure. I'm
der the law, all Conventions are por-
ton of our election system, and this
ballot act requires that candidates to be
voted for by the Voters throughout the
whole State must be placed in nOmina-
ton by convention representing no less

Hence, all the candidates of a party for
Presidential electoI s.must be nominated
in State Convention, and / have there

CHAOS IN A LIBRARY.
sarcey's Fearfully bad Luck With
the Custodian of His Books.


Francisque Sarcey had splendid libra
~, of which he was very proud, and
there are many stories told in Paris about
the singular fates, comic and tragic, that
overlook the librarians who successfully
looked after the late critics books.
The first was released convict, who
pleaded that to be much among good
books would reform him. Sarcey, pugna-
cious in print, was the kindliest of men in
practice. He yielded to the plea. Nm
fortunately his protege carried the ethical
cure too far, for one day he decamped,
taking with him the best of NJ. Sarcey $
good books.
The second was distinctly minor dram
atist, Debrit by name and debris by ma
ture. He had worn himself into an in
durable melancholy by persistent addic-
tion 10 the humorist vaudeville habit.
Sareey saw that abstinence from further
composition could only be secured IL the
man had some light occupation with a
living wage He established him in the
vacancy left by the convict. A few days
later as the critic, returning from the the
alter, drew his carriage up before his door
he heard smash of shivered glass above
him, followed a minute later by what he

pavement below. The woebegone libra
rian, wearied of life, had thrown himself
out OF the window. With his last breath
he cursed Sarcey as his murderer.
Third in order was one Bernard, a
gladstone youth, whose blithe tempera-
ment promised relief from the gloom cast
by his predecessor. In the height of his
gee he pulled out all the books, so as to
rcarrange them in more logical order on
the shelves. He stacked them In craggy
pyramids all over the floor. But it hap
pened to be the special day OF the week
wherein Snrcey was wont to have a few
of his theatrical friends, male and fe-
male, to lunch with him, After lunch a
dance followed as a matter Of course.
Nothing could dismay the librarian. He
whisked the pyramids to four walls and
Joined In the dance. Next day he asked
permission to so home and see his moth
err. He never returned. The pyramids
had TO be sorted out by Sarcey's man
servant and put pellmell on the shelves
again.
The last librarian was Mile. Blouska,
an elderly Polish maiden, who proved an
invaluable assistant until she persisted
miserably in the fire at the charity ball
in Paris.-Philadelph Times.
