RANCHES OF FASHION.
Early Summer Styles Are Dainty,
 Neat and Attractive.
Black More Popular Than Ever Re- fore-BoIero Idea Sweeps Every thing Before It-The U0i-
 Quftous RoEette.
Especial Chicago Letter.l

%<HE early summer fashions are
 coming in with vim and vigor
 all their own, and are pretty and attractive in the extreme, despite the fact that for the present smart simplicity seems to be their most striking characteristic. Those who are supposed to know all about the wl.ims and vagaries of Dame Fashion, however, claim that later on when the midsummer styles proclaim them selves they will be marked by more elaboration than we have seen for sew eral years.
 But, after all, a simple style has its drawbacks, for it can only reach per- master hand of one who thoroughly understands the intricacies and mys- teries of the toilette feminine.
 Now don't for one moment imagine that the styles I speak of are simple in the sense of the time of our grand mothers. Far from it. The express sion sweet simplicity" as used and understood in those days, finds no place in the vocabulary of the modiste of the present time; and l feel quite sure that these same worthy ances- tors of ours would certainly be shocked beyond measure should they happen to see the simple little ef- fairs" as turned out by the average dressmaker of this day and genera tion, and more especially so did they but glance at the inevitable lengthy and exasperating bill for the making and findings.
 As far as color and material are concerned fashion makers have laid no hard or fast rules this season, but it might be we'll to mention that the black gown, relieved here and there by a becoming touch of color, is still the reigning favorite with all good dressers, and it seems quite safe to

AN ANNUAL LYNcHING.
spaninh and PortuEuese Sailors Exc cute Dummy of Judas Iscariot
 on Good Friday.

Judas Iscariot was lynched in sew eral old world places during the recent Passion tide season. This is in accord ance with a curious and remarkable custom that prevails in Spain and Por- tugal, and which is observed in London and other British ports by the sailors of those nationaIities whose ships hap pen to be in those waters at the time.
 A dummy figure is made of man supposed to represent the betrayer of Christ. This effigy, which is stuffed with straw, is allowed to remain prac= fieaIly unheeded on the deck until after the sailors have attended morn ing service; but no sooner are the de- votions closed than the peace of Judas is at an end.
 With one accord the seamen rush to where the unconscious dummy lies, the first to reach it seizing it roughly and stamping and splitting upon it until it is wrenched from his grasp by one of his fellows, who subjects it to similar

esting that has come within the ken of the observing feminine eye
 From the oftentimes carelessly-. made, severely-plain tailor gown of re- cent years it has gradually evolved it. self into a thing of beauty, if not joy forever, and it comes to us to-day in such state of absolute perfection as to leave nothing more to be desired, even by the most critical person. The newest ones are made with long trail ing skirts, with one or more shaped founces, while the little coat usually takes the form of the bolero, chic and swell in the extreme, and finished, even down to the smallest detail, as only the artistic, up-to-date tailor knows how to do it.
 Do not let the present cool tenn perature delude you into the belief that it will last forever and a day, and that there is plenty of time to get ready for the first real hotspell. When the change comes it will be so sudden and extreme that we will want all the cool, comfortable clothing we can lay our hands on, and so urge you to make your dainty summer gowns now against the day of their need. Yes terday saw some charming summer frocks that formed part of the elabo- rate trousseau of June bride, and although it was but glimpse had of them, I remember that all the skirts were more or less trimmed, and that the waists all struck me as being, rather old-fashioned in appearance, with their long sloping shoulders and cap-topped sleeves.
 Lace gowns will play an important part this summer for both day and evening wear. The fancy of the mo- ment is to make these lace gowns oyer a colored foundation--green in all its varying shades being given the prefer ence.
 There is very little novelty dis played in hair-dressing just now. Word reaches me from Paris that the coiffure is worn low, but as this style is not universally becoming to. the American style of beauty, it might be advisable to put off it's day of adop- tion as long as possible. For daytime wear small plain tortoise shell combs are giving place to those studded with pearls, while for evening wear bows of tulle. strings of pearls, flowers and the ever-becoming osprey are more in vogue than ever before.

taffeta silk, in both black and coIors, finely stitched and trimmed with many strappings of broadcloth.
 Our skirts still trail on the ground, and although this cannot be called a wise fashion, it is certainly very graceful and becoming one. While decorated on the hips with rows of machine stitching or tiny tucks, as the case may be, the skirt proper still continues to fit tightly at the top, only coming out full from the knees down. ward, where some are finished with the plain-shaped fiounce or ffounces. Theer is much to be said in the mat ter of blouses and fancy waists, to be worn with separate skirts. The prettiest brought out this season are made of dainty white material, the trimming usually taking the form of lace insertion and the all-conquering tiny tucks. Where all are so pleasing it is somewhat hard to select one as more worthy of description than an- other, but of all the pretty models seen thus far one in particular took my fancy, made of white accordion plaited mouSseline de soie, of fine and silky variety The elbow sleeves were arranged in the newest shape, with puffs of the mousseline de soie, divided by threadings of narrow black velvet ribbon, run through insertions of black lace. The bodice was cut square in front, where it was finished with double ruche of white silk mus, lin and rosettes of black ribbon velvet. A handsome square collar of cream tinted lace formed kind of shoulder cape and gave the finishing. touch to an altogether charming garment.
 Speaking of rosettes reminds me that the velvet rosette is the idol of the moment, and is to be seen on all and every occasion. It varies in size from the silver dollar dimension up to the one of huge proportions. but that most approved by fashion is of me- dium size, made. with rather sprawl ing loops and short ends, each end being finished by 9 tiny silken tassel or else one made of the velvet. They have even invaded the world of mil linery, ard at recent "opening" al- most every hat seen, especially those of French manufacture, boasted one or more velvet ribbon rosettes among it's smartest trimming.
 I think the evolution of the tailor gown has been one of the most inter-

 The interesting question of the greatest distance at which a cannon can be heard having been raised in Nature, Mir. J. w. Mallet writes, from personal experience, that during the bombardment of Charleston, s.

THE AMBITIOUS tDOCIOR, (Will Rafie Himself or Matrimonially al
 Five Dollars Per Chance.) as he does not want anything 10 hap pen that might interfere with the success of his plan.
 Here is his proposition:
 "I have been ten years in the ecoun, try. am 2s years old. worked hard, passed the regents examina- ton and entered Cornell medical school. By working during vacations doing tutoring and other tasks, l managed to support myself until ] got my doctors diploma.
 Now I want to marry, settle down and begin practicing in proper manner. I have not the necessary money, so I thought out the marry ing plan by raffie. This is my scheme:
 "To have the contest, if you want to call it that, open for a certain period, say three months. The tick cts are to be numbered and to cost five dollars each. I want to get some responsible person in whom the pub lie has confidence to take charge of the matter,
 s'There will be few necessary re- strictions. They are these:
 "The woman must be between 20 and 30 years.
 .They must not be cripples or af- hicted with any incurable disease.
 "The contest is not open to negroes, but there are no restrictions as to ra1ioin.1c haJsof 1,,
 Are there any restrictions as to the looks ofathe contestants?" 'No,' very seriously, I've got to take my chances"
 Suppose the winner should prove to be a person with face that would break all records for ugliness?"
 II would have to live up to my agreement and marry her or forfeit all claim on the money.'
 "How many young women do you think are willing to get married in this way?"
 ''I think 2,ooo or 5000 tickets will be sold.''
 That would be $10,0Oo or $15,0O0-- pretty stiff price for husband ?"s ~'Yes; but the young woman will share it with me, though she only pays five dollars
 ''How is the winner to be decided?''
 ''The man who runs the raffie will decide on the winning number. No body but himself will know what it is. Then when the contest is closed the winning Humber will be announced and the girl holding the right ticket will come forward and we will be married. Then the total receipts of the contest will be turned over to us.''
 The originator of the money-mak- ing matrimonial game is slightly un- der medium height, with black wavy hair, brown eyes, a ruddy complexion and reddish brown mustache.
 He declared he could establish his good character and integrity by re- ferring inquirers to his former col lege professors, several physicians and business men. He speaks Eng fish fluently, is well educated, dresses neatly. He regards his proposition as commonplace affair-simply as 8 necessary expedient.

 it is thought by his neighbors, as he has given up living in his large home and has just built house on the spot where his beloved wife rests, on the beautiful mountain side near his home. The structure is a small but substantial octagon of stone, and on the iron opening into the single room is the following inscription: "one in life, and one in death"
 In the right hand corner is the grave of his wife, while a secondary space near by he has reserved for himself, where at the end he can find repose. Around the windows flowers have been planted, and the venera- ble patriarch spends the day in beau tifying the surroundings of his strange home.
 On the anniversary of her death. with the assistance of local pastor, the funeral ceremony is repeated. The colonel has turned deaf ear to numerous entreaties of his friends to give up his solitary abode, as he has expressed the desire to spend the re- mainder of his days in this tomblike structure.

predict an increasing favor for black throughout the summer.
 Alakinds of thin, transparent mate- rials are very much in vogue, while the furore for grenadine and crepe de chine remains unabated. Fine cash mere still retains it's popularity, and the old yet new soft albatross cloth is considered the material par excel lent for smart afternoon gowns. It would seem as though we could not bring ourselves to part with glace, and we show wisdom in this, for it serves so many purposes, from an entire froclk to the smallest trimmings, and wherever it may be put it looks smart. Chenille mixes admirably with glace, or taffeta, as it is now more generally called. Fashionable dressmakers are also using narrow strappings of fine

broadeloth on their newest taffeta skirts and coats, with very marked ef- feet.
 We are told that Dame Fashion is fickle jade, but in one respect she is proving herself singularly constant this season. She shows no sign of wavering in her warm affection for the jaunty little bolero coat-in fact it seems almost as though this bolero idea would sweep everything beforeit.
 Within the week have seen some charming boleros made entirely of black guipure lace and black velvet rib bon insertions. Another one I remem- Der was made in new kind of ap- plique lace, worked by hand by cer- tain of the French peasantry, so it was claimed. It was very rich and eff fective, and also very costly.
 Some of the smartest little boleros brought out this season are made of

Ionr Racea Are Attrncave.

The great popularity of the 25-mile and 5O-mile unpaced races of last sea- son, in which there were started large fields of competitors, has led the board of control of the l.. A. W. to inaugurate series of championships at 25 miles, 50 miles and 100 miles, for both the amateurs and the profes- sionaIs. These races will have large fields of competitors and will doubt less have special prizes for each mile and each five miles, as in the contests of the past. Race meet promoters will bid eagerly for these contests, as the securing of them will practically make certain a large entry list of the very best riders. During the past winter 25-mile unpaced races on indoot tracks proved most popular and were always exciting.

 Grave of His Wife,

Col Elijah de Board, of Gilmer county, Ga, is probably the only man in the United States whose home is over grave. This unusual habita- 1ion is not due to eccentricity or for the purpose of attracting notoriety, but is simply case of loyal devotion shown in visible way to the memory of his wife.
 The recent loss of his partner in life, says the New York Herald, af- fected him deeply, since which time he has become recluse. His devo- tion has been carried to an extreme,
