New YORK. Aug. IA most original
| fancy has been developed in the max
! ing up of the ever beautiful chene silk
in its delicate and vague design and
| colOring, and this consists in having
the whole gown covered with white
| tulle. Malines might also be used, as
| the effect would be about the same
The illustration shows how the subject
is treated and what a dainty result is
achieved. The dress is made of the silk
with the natural foliage. A fiounce
about eight inches is set on the bottom.
and the tulle is gathered at the top of
it and brought around and under the
1Ounce in q sort of puff. Over the rest
of the skirt there is an OverSkirt of the
tulle with rows of fine valenciennes in
sertion at intervals all around. At the
bottom, which is scalloped, there is one
row of insertion and ruffle of lace to
match. The waist and sleeves are
made and trimmed to match, and the
belt and a drapery at the left side are
made of a wide ribbon in the darkest
shade found on the flower represented
on the silk. The belt is made by hav-
ing two rows of the ribbon brought
around to give it the effect.
Lace as factor in wOman's wear Is
to be even greater than ever, and so

fall and even winter are made all Of
lace that one cannot go amiss in get
ting such a gown for a best home or
evening dress. Guipure is one of the
favorite laces when used as trimmings,
and very many handsome tea gowns
and other garments are entirely of
piece lace and made separate so that
they can be slipped over a lining in the
same shape of some favorite color.
Some of the lace gowns OF this descrip-
ton have two or three different color
ed Innings, so that, with ribbons to
match each different lining, one has a
variety. The point desprit and some of
the figured nets, and in fact there are
many kinds Of all over lace, all Of
which are good for the purpose. The
point d'esprit nets perhaps give the
best satisfaction for general use, and
when properly made and trimmed with
light lace ruffles and insertion nothing
could be prettier. And one advantage
with a lace dress is that it can be
worn all winter If need be, while none
of the other delicate and fiimsv COTTON
gowns can be.
Among the materials which can be
worn in all seasons we find the wool
Examines in faint and delicate shades
and tints. These, trimmed with heavy
ecru and string shades of linen gui-
pures, will be much liked, and these
will also be suitably trimmed with
Persian braidings or lace.
Skirts, always saving the pedestrian
skirts, will be longer than ever and
very fiaring around the bottom. One

plisse, and 1t is also edged with an
elaborate ruching of the same. On the
outside Of the bonnet is an immense
panache of loops. A short cape Of the
velvet holds bow of pink ribbon like
that on the top. N
We may as well talk little about the
rest Of the children's attire. White
muslin frocks for the tiny tots will al
ways be the best but they are so fine
and so daintily made that they come
too expensive for anything but best.
For every day ginghams and like goods
are employed. There are three dis
tinct styles Of shapes for dresses for
very small children. One is the French
shape, which comes down over the bips
very low, and the Mother Hubbard
shape for children under Z. Besides
these Is the regular baby waist shape,
and this is the most useful of the
three, for it can be worn by children of
8 as well as by the baby.
For outdoor wear for fall there viii
be some of the prettiest little coats thai
have ever been made. Some are OF
velvet others of rough wool and more
of the ribbed velutina, which is such
excellent stuff to wear
like little boys better than do girls.
and so ] will not forget them, as too
many do. One suit for boy Of 5 or 6
is of navy blue velutina, in sailor style.
The big collar was Of white linen, and
the deep cuffs matched. Russian blous-
es are still in style for small boys. One
OF blush gray has the stitching on the
inevitable sailor collar, done in strap
ping of white. The belt is also white.
This kind Of suit is handsome, COM
Portable and dressy for boys. There are
military overcoats for the little fellows
made of blue, with velvet collar and ca
puchin hoods. The eagle must roost on.

It, Another handsome overcoat for
boys Is called the little duke. 1t is of,
very dark melton or cloth, and down
the front is a wide strip of black as

The cuffs and collar are Of the astra-
khan. 1t is a fine coat. The size is so
adjusted that the bottom of the coat
reaches just to the knees. -.

Princess rark Entertainment

A throng OF pleasure seekers filled the
beautiful park grounds last Wednesday
evening, some to ENJOY the concert and
promenAdes, and others the dance. The
proceeds amounted to 500, aud will be
used in making a concrete walk from the
gate to the pavilion. 1t seems to me that
the society girls might well take this up
as their work for the park, and give series
Of entertainments for that purpose. For
it was In consideration for the dainty
slippered feet that the president Of the
PARK Association, Mrs Bryan Ards,
proposed to have . concrete walk around
the pavilion. Through the kindness and
public spirit OF Mr. Beattie johnson, chair
man Of street improvement committee, q
donation was secured for that purpose,
which has already given delight 10 hun.
dreds.
Take up the matter young ladies, and
aid tbs Park Association in securing
funds for the much needed walk. 1t will
take five hundred dollars.

Remarkable Memory Shown by Younu
CanarieS


est Audreasberg people know nothing Of
the canary OF the encyclopedias, which can
initiate perfectly the nightingale, or even
enunciate some words in imitation of the
human voice." declares liza Sharper Hoxle,
In telling about st Andreasberg, "The
Singing Village of Germany" in The
ladies' Home Journal for August. ''The
birds OF one breed, subjected to the same
ii fluences, have songs that vary with the
throat muscles ard vocal chords of each
individual. But so remarkable is the
canary memory that q bird bred to 3
certain song If removed from the cage in
which he has heard it from his parent,
when SIX weeks old, Will later, when he
himself begins to sing, give the same
song though never having heard it in the
intervening period"

A philosopher comments lugubriously
on the fact that no women have invent
ed any toys for children. though from
being with children so much it might
naturally be expected the first object
they would turn their constructive gen.
ius to would be something to amuse
young ones. The fact Is that women
who have been pinned down taking
care of children all their lives naturally
flee away anywhere to get relief from
them.

Will GO Down for Oil.

At last a tangible move has com menced. to determine the oil values of the land in the Texas Hill country. MT. F. L. Ewing of the Yuma Lumber Company was in Los Angeles last week for the express purpose of purchasing a rig and a complete outfit, casing, etc, for thorough oil exploration.
 MT. Ewing in his purchases, repre- sented company recently formed, of which the following (including him. self are the incOrporatOrs: Donald Mcintyre and Frank Guerra of Yuma. and w. A. Johnson and F. l.. Johnson of Los Angeles The company has se- cured tract of two thousand acres near Mohawk, to which point machin- cry will be shipped direct and work will begin in short time.
 The men at the head Of this enter prise are well-knOwn and responsible business men. whose financial resources are ample to carry out their plans, and upon their success, or failure (which latter is not within the probabilities, very much is involved as to the future of the oil industry in Yuma county, for there is no doubt that this company will make a determined and exhaustive search for the precious fluid" and if it be present in commercial quantities the fact will be demonstrated.

A Fortuna Episode.

Last Saturday the mining camp Of La Fortuna was somewhat enlivened by a drunken Mexican shooting through the window into a crowded saloon. and was only prevented by @ piece of gCod for tune from furnishing real material fer a coroner's inquest. As soon as there was chance to slip out of the saloon between the flying bullets, Jack Robin son, with a gun in his hand, started after the murderous Mexican. When just outside the door, in some uneX- plained manner, the gun was discharged by accident, the bullet entering his leg just above the knee. passed downward through the calf of the leg and came out just above the ankle. Robinson is now at the city hospital under the care of Dr.. Moller. Two others, whose names we could not learn, received slight wcunds-one turned aside @ bullet with an unusually hard head, and another had a finger broken by shot. The Mexican who did the wild shooting was not arrested.

Fifty years ago medicine was founded which also had in view the welfare of humanity. This was Hostetter's Stom- ach Bitters, a remedy famed the world over for its cure of dyspepsia, constipa- tion, indigestion, belching, insomnia, biliousuess, nervousness and malaria, fever and ague. As a strengthening tonic and blood purifier it is unequaled. A trial will certainly convince you of its value.

There is often more poetry In scene of Natures own production than could possibly be portrayed in verse by the the grandest of the poets. Pictures of Natures handiwork Ie feet sublime poetic sentiment to be read silently with the eyes alone; an elCquence net to be expressed in mere words. Such a pie ture has been produced by Dr. Bailey; sunset scene cai 2 t by the magic lens, from near the center of the bridge that spans the muddy Colorado. The sun is near fifteen minutes above the horizon and casts silyery path acrCse the water. while its faint rays reach up ward and blend with the tleccy, low flying clouds, d rare accompaniment to a ''Yuma sunset.' To the left is the old pumping plant, appearing sombre and gloomy in the shadows; away of across the river are seen th9 smoke stacksof the lCng-cOndemned 'COcopah' castinga distinct reflection on the water. The picture is really deceptive, for in some respects it appears to be q moon light scene. but is none the less fascin- ating, and something about it recalls to mind Longfellow's beautiful poem.

LEAPED FROM TIE TRAIN.
i An Insane Woman EIGdes Her Watchers And Jumps From a Train Going
 F0riJ Miles An Hour.

On board the late westbound train Sunday morning were John Blaney, his wife, Mary BlaDey, and their son. in-law, "Dr. Schurman.
 Mrs. Blaney, was insane, and during all the long ride from Chicago, the husband had kept close vigil upon his wife and was 50 nearly worn out from loss of sleep. that he decided finally to call his son-in-law from the sleeper to take his place at the side of the de- mented woman while he enjoyed much needed rest and slumber. When the train reached Sentinel it was discover ed that the woman was missing and the watchful son-in-law sound asleep. He was aroused and a search Of the train revealed the fact that she had left 1t, but just how, when, or where there was no evidence to show. Later tele- gram reached Yuma that the dead woman's body had been found about nine miles cast of Sentinel. She jump ed from the train while it was coming down a steep grade at not less than forty miles an hour. and was probably killed almost instantly. The body was terribly bruised and blackened.
 An inquest was held before Judge Rief. The verdict of the jury was that Mrs. Blaney, came to her death as a re- suit of leaping from the train while in a demented condition. The body was inferred in the new cemetery here the same day The woman's insanity was not supposed to be incurable, and the husband was taking her to California, with the hope that the climate and change of scenes and surroundings might restore her mental health. Mir. Blaney's address is 409 Erie street, Chicago.

Appreciated Courtesies Extended.

The Sentinel is in receipt of hand some little volume containing an ac- count of the trip made by the editorial excursion party which visited the Im- perial canal country and, incidentally Yuma last April. We quote the fol- lowing resolution passed by the Califor- nia editors relating to their reception in Yuma:
 "Resolved, That we are under obli- gaticns to the citizens of Yuma for a delightful banquet and other social en- tertainment, during which we were deeply impressed with the fact that Yuma is a progressive and enterpris- ing city and that its citizens are awake to its opportunities" -
 Referring to the ball and banquet the writer says: Tn the evening the citi- zens of Yuma did themselves proud by rendering the visiting editors banquet and ball, both appointed with good taste and prodigal liberality. But few of the pencil-wieiders danced, but the attractions of the pretty Yuma girls caused most of them to decorate the walls fer time."

Word reached Yuma Monday that Frank B. Wightman had passed away the day before. Mention of his serious l illness was made in the Sentinel last week. Mr. Wightrnan was formerly a resident here. having served the gov ornment at different times as postmast- CT and as deputy collector of customs at this port.

4 Sustaining Diet.

These are the enervating days, when, as somebody has said, men drop by the sunstroke as if the Day of Fire had dawned. They are fi'aught with dan ger to people whose systems are poorly sustained, and this leads to say, in the interest of the less robust of our read CTS, that the full effect of Hoods Sar- saparilla is such as to suggest the pro- priety of calling this medicine some thing besides blood purifier and tonic say sustaining diet. It makes it much easier to bear the heat; assures refreshing sleep, and will without any doubt avert much sickness at this time of year
