A Stunning Dust Cloak.

Batiste seems an odd material for q
dust cloak, but it is correct for wrap
in warm weather and on smart occa-
sions. Each of these delicate garments
has a collar of colored silk or prune
satin. Pomegranate pink, turquoise
blue, orange, copper red are some of
the tints chosen. While sill mohair is
the material Of a smart dust cloak in.
tended to be worn on a coaching expe-
dition. It has smart collar Of mossy-
green silk, with a very heavy rib, and
has turned-up cuffs of the same.

A Little Gold Thread.

In spite of the decided reaction from
the wave of tinsel which swept across
the face of last winters fashions, lit
tie gold or silver thread has crept into
the summer toilet. The sunshade owns
it's sway. 1t outlines the prominent
figures in the design of lace insertions
which trim a smart parasol. A lovely
sea-green sunshade shows insertion
bands of creamy Brabant lace. The
outlines of the pattern are followed
with a slender line Of silvery thread.
This enhances the beauty Of the lace
empiecements and also the parasol.

Marcelline Glace,

A serious rival to silken gauze, Lib
erty silk and chiffon, sheer tissues in
great favor, is the new silken fabric
offered for use as empiecements, yokes
and chemisettes. 1t is almost as ten
der and soft as null. but has lus-
trous sheen, with glistenins surface.
This proves immensely becoming to
the majority of women. 1t smartens
up a toilet which would otherwise be

BITTEN BY TARANTULA. MT. George c. Boltz Cut Poison Out
 With a Knife.

Members of the crew of the steamer City of Mobile, which reached Mont gomery last night from Mobile, tell of heroic act performed by MT. George c. Bo1tz, bartender on the vessel, to save his life from poison.
 On the trip down the river of the boat, MT. Boltz was bitten by a taran- tula, which had been concealed in a bunch of bananas shipped from Cen tral America. Realizing his danger, and although suffering intense pain, MT. Boltz plunged his knife into the wound and cut around it, removing the poison with the blade. He then sucked the poison and bound the wound until he could reach a surgeon.
 MT. Boltz is now at his home in Mo- bile and will recover from the bite, which is regarded as one of the most poisonous.

SNAPPY AMATEUR GAME
Brewton Defeats the Montgomery Y. M. c. A. Team in the Ninth In-
 nius-Score 8 to 9. ?,

A. Ns A. 4Cuhk AAA tAAG &NAAsA &$A
 ning-Score 3 to 9.
 There was not a very large crowd at the ball game between the local Y. M. c. A. and BfeEton yesterday. but every man on the grounds left there a firm friend of the Brewton team.
 There is an inherent admiration in- stilled in the hearts of the people of tais. glorious country for pluck, and a more plucky, uphill fight than the Brewton men put up is rarely seen. With the score standing to against them for eight innings they fought with a bulldog tenacity. Every inch of ground was bitterly contested and in the eighth ipn.Ag they tied the score and won the game in the ninth inning.
 It was one of those games of ball that makes the heart of dyed-in-the- wool baseball crank glad. It was, per- haps, the fastest amateur game of ball that has ever been seen here. and the professional games that were better can be counted on the fingers of ones hand.
 Teasley. who was in the box for the locals. pitched a remarkable game, only one hit (and that of the scratch order) being made off him. His control was splendid. one base on balls and one hit by pitched ball being his record. He should have won his game and but for the seven errors behind him would have done so, hands down. The mis- takes of judgment were as costly as the errors. For instance, there was Brewton base-runner on third base and the batter hit 6 slow infield hit. h. stead of fielding the ball to the plate and cutting of the run the hit was fielded to first base and the man on third base promptly scored. probably winning the game for Brewton.
 But such a game of ball as 1t was should not be censured. It was hot and fast work on both sides from the first inning until. the gray-rlad Brewton man crossed the plate with the win- mining run in the ninth inning.
 A couple of hts and q base on balls put two of the scarlet-c!sd locals over in the first inning. Verneville and the fast in apd outfields behind him never allowed the locals to score after that. The support given Verneville was as near perfect as could he a dropped pop fly by Andrews being tho only error made by them
 Manager Mcclure of thu locals made a strong effort to get the Brewton team in another gamc today hut for nusi- ness reasons they had to return to Brewton last night. Each team has won a game and the tie will be played off at Brewton on August'6. The r. NJ. c. A. team will leave tonight for Union town where they play three games. playing one with Selma before return ing home.

AFTERMATH OF FIRE.
Estimated Loss to Mays Bakery
 Was Correct-Will Resume "

- Gt' Business.
 The effect of the fire was scarcely visible in the May bakery yesterday. as goods were arranged and everything in shape in the front room ready for business.
 The water had caused the clustering to fsi, from the ceiling. and there were holes here and there where the water mad fof ced itself through. But for this there were not any signs of the ire wis ible in the store.
 The damage to the store and stock is about what was estimated yesterday morning. With customary energy MT. May was going along with his business and last night 1t was difficult to tell that things were not as usual there.
