Lace Capes.

Lace capes are about the most expensive
garments in the way of wraps that are seen
anywhere. They can be made possible for
winter as well summer wear provided
they are lined with warm lining. They
look little incongruous at first for cold
weather. but they are trimmed with fur
and rich embroidery in spangled designs,
they can hardly be classed as exclusively
summer garments. The white lace wraps
are made up over accordion-pleated NOUS
seine de sole that. in it's turn, is lined with
white satin. They are quite long, and the
lace is put on rather full. but not in pleats,
and the full beauty Of the design shows
over the light mousseline de sole. The
yoke effect over the shoulders is sometimes
hidden by a capuchin hood of velvet lined
with spangled lace. There are long ends of
pleated chiffon edged with ruching. Black
lace over white, with the hood lined with
black spangled lace blue silk with steel,
makes a most effective wrap 1t is a style
which cannot be initiated In cheap ma
terfals. for there is much of the lace 10
be seen 1t Is necessary to have 1t of the
very best. The hood is made of white or
black velvet, as desired. Black looks bet
ter than the white. however. although both
ere fashionable. These lace capes are the
most effective evening wraps that will bs
worn duAng next winter.

possible for stout women to wear shirt
waists and look well in them without hav-

To Clean and Polish q Piano.
from the Tadiass unxnn Journal

In cleaning and polishing a piano go over
the woodwork with cloth wet with paraf-
fine oil, being ge11erousi with the oil where
the woodwork is very much soiled. Let
this remain two or three hours; this Is to
soften the dirt. Then wash with soap and
water and a soft cloth, being careful not to
let any water touch the works inside the
piano. Use a good white or a white CASTLE
soap. Wipe dry with a soft cloth and pol
ish with soft old linen or chamois leather.

Two widows and a s.,ted MIN.

A good story is told about how two
prospectors had salted a mine in the
Galena district In order to rob q con-
pie Of rich widows, which resulted in
the aforesaid widows becoming much
Weather.
The prospectors had spent their last
cent in digging hole in the ground to
the extent of 60 feet without striking
anything but yellow clay. But one of
them knew of two rich widows who
were just spelling to have their money
sunk In a mine. Accordingly they
spent two nights in saltingetheir mine.
They hadn't sufficient money to buy
some paying dirt, but they stole this
from a neighboring mine and hauled a
lot of it over to dump into their mine.
When several tons Of this paying dirt"
had accumulated in the bottom of their
mine, the widows were sent for, and
while one was talking about the in
creasing value of the district the other
was dumping out all kinds of lead and
zinc ore before their astonished eyes.
The widows bought half interest in
that hole in the ground for 81, 1900. The
next day there was no more ore in the
shaft, and the fellows declared they
would dig no longer. Then the widows
bought the other half interest at total
cost Of $4,000, and the men hiked out
for Missouri, laughing in their sleeves.
But the women, Dlindly believing that
there must be more ore, continued
with the digging at a depth Of ten
additional feet struck the richest vein
Of the whole belt, realizing $4,000 in
less than one years time.-Kansas City

Did Not Pay the Counts Debts.

New York.-Edwin Gould, accompa-
MED by his wife, returned from their
three months trip abroad this morn
ing. Gould left his brother George and
his family in London. He denounced
the story that the Gould family had
spent $1,500,0O0 to pay the debts of
Count Castellane as lie, and said the
palace of the Count never had been
offered for sale. The questions con-
corning his celebrated brother-in-law
appeared to amuse him, and his an
swers were accompanied by broad
smiles.
Edwin Gould said: 'T have been
abroad just three months, and the trip
was for no other purpose than pleas
ure. Yes, l visited the Paris Expo
sition, but can't say that I was as well
pleased with it as I was with the last
one held at the French capital. I Wis
tied the Count and Countess Castel-
lane, and found them enjoying life
thoroughly"
did the Gould family raise $780,
900 to pay off the Counts debts?" was
asked.
"That's lie. We raised no money
for the Count nor the Countess" re-
piled Gould.
He also declared without foundation
the report that the castle had been
sold to satisfy judgments.

ing the truth. Children and fools, you
know, have a weakness in that regard.

ance. He told me his name was Tolli-

proud of it. I was rather proud to be
friendly with one Of the name myself
and made myself extra agreeable.
when he left me at way station
and bade me goodby. he rendered me
his card and told me he hoped l would
not forget him. l didn't look at the
card till he had gone, and, would you
believe it, the young fellow had his
name spelled to match, as it were, and
it appeared thus, MIR. Aliaferro Talia-

was getting Oliver Tolliver down pret-
ty fine. Don't you think so too?'-

population of 11,150,045, making to-
tai gain of 3,484,666.
The percentage of increase in 1890

The result was that the percentage of
gain, according to the Census Bureau

Pistol, Hatchet and Knife Used to Murder
Chinese.


Santa ROsaa Cal-One of the most
fiendish murders that ever occurred
here took place in the Frazee hop
yards, near this city. A Chinese hop
picker named All Nan was murdered
in his tent. When found his body
was lying on a couch and the top of
his head and forehead were hacked to
pieces with a hatchet. His chin and
throat were slashed in a dozen places
and long knife was still sticking
from Jagged wound in the side of
his neck. A hatchet covered with
blood, and a revolver, two chambers
of which were empty, were found.
There is no clew. The theory of the
officers is that the man was first shot,
and, as he lay in his death agonies,
the murderer mutilated his body.

rheumatism

Rheumatic pains are the cries of protest
and distress from tortured muscles, aching
joints and excited nerves. The blood has
been poisoned by the accumulation OF
waste matter in the system, and can no
longer supply the pure and health sustain
ing food they require. The whole system
feels the effect of this acid poison; and
not until the blood has been purified and
brought back to healthy condition will
the aches and pains cease.
