a NARROW ESCAPE.

Il concluded the only thing l could do
was to try to make my way back TO your
camp and report what had happened, but
could not tell what direction to go. In
my excitement ! forgot on which side of
the road | was. Looking all around | saw
a iirc-a campfire seemingly long way
off. / knew that We must have been about
three miles from the ford when we first
met thc Indians. We had probably gone
Il half mile further when they made the
attack. | concluded that the fire was at
the emiSrant camp that | had noticed near
the ford as we came across the creek and
started to it. 1t was tedious walking
through the grass and my wounds made
me sore and stiff. 1t took me long time
to get near the fire. for | had TO lie down
and rest very often.
''On coming near enough to the fire to
see persons moving about it | was Mortified
10 see it was surrounded by Indians who
seemed to be brOiling meat and eating.
On realizing this | instantly dropped to
the ground and lay very still for while,
and then began crawling away as quietly
as possible fearful that | might make
some little noise or otherwise attract their
attention before | could get far enough
away to be out of sight. | thought once
they noticed me, as some of their horses
which were standing around began look
ing at me and pricking up their ears,
which some of the Indians observing
caused them to look in my direction. but
they probably concluded it was a wolf at
tracted by the smell of their brOiling meat.
As the grass here was only short buffalo
grass it afforded no cover and | had to
crawl quite a ways before | dared to rise
up and walk, but when | did | got away
from that fire pretty lively for all L was
so sore.
From what | saw of them | am GER
tain it was the same party that had
cleaned us out on the road, and as their
horses were standing around saddled, l
think they had just halted and made a
buffalo-chip fire to cook and eat some meat
and would then go on.
''As soon as | got far enough away from
their freight 20 feel safe | took good
look all around to see if l could tell what
direction your camp was. Away off in
another direction from the Indians fire |
could see a faint spark of fire. This l
concluded must he the emigrant camp |
had been trying to reach, but | was get
ting to feel very tired and weak and sore,
and had to go slowly and stop to rest a
good many times.

NATIVES DRIVEN TO JUNGLEs.
Belgian Soldiers Accused Of Awful
HaFbarItfes on the Kings Sub
jects In Congo Free State.

London, Nov. S.-Edgar Canisius,
an American who recently retired
from the employ Of the Congo Free
State, confirms the terrible stories
told about the condition of the ma
tives, and especially in the portions
termed the state domain, where
strangers are seldom admitted.
Canisius, who accompanied Maj.
Lothaire, commander of the Belgian
troops in the Congo, says 900 natives
were killed in six weeks during that
expedition while a smaller expedi-
ton, commanded by a Belgian lieu
tenant, killed 800 natives in three
weeks. The district is practically
under martial law, on the strength
of which such endless barbarities are
committed that the natives aRe absO-
lutely terror-stricken.

CAPTURING A PASSENGER.
Washington Jehu Whose Resources
for Doing So Were Almost
InexhaustibIe.

Il like perseverance in man-even
in a hackman," began Peterson, re-
Iates Will S. Gidley, in WOman's Home
Companion, "and there is one partic-
lar Jehu doing business in Washing
ton, d. c., who possesses that quality
in the superlative degree.
''When I visited the capital city had

I stepped off the train and a crowd
Of these gentry began shouting at me,
I simply shook my head and passed on.
One of them, however, was not to be
thus easily disposed of. Dancing
around in front of me, 50 as to block
my progress, he Moderated:

NOTES OF THE FASHIONS.
wash Fabrics and Airy Materials for
the Sumner Outft-Late Dress
AecessOEIes.

Among the seasons lace accessories
are shown any number of adjustable
collars in various graceful shapes;
some IN fichu styles, with pointed ends
which reach to the waist in front;
others In marine, yoke, collanette, and
similar pretty forms, and also made
of bisque yellow linen lawn, batiste
and grasselOth. These are used to
decorate the low-cut collarless Etons
and boleros, summer tea-gowns, en-
pire negligees, and new silk coffee
jackets" made with lace-frilled elbow
sleeves and scarf fronts, says the New
York Post
A French design for making beach
and mountain costumes has the blouse
arranged to represent . white shirt
waist in front under an BtOn jacket,
collarless or not, and with or without
revers, as the wearer chooses. For
example, a model of dove-gray cash
mere has a sailor blouse made with
its back portion of white albatross,
and on the front is q short jacket Of
the cashmere turned back as revers,
and showing the brier-stitched plaits
of the white wool front. The bell
sleeves reach only to the elbows, and
the white undersleeves are gathered
to bands edged with narrow silver
F, braid. The medium-length skirt is
tucked vertically at intervals from
| the waist down; and the added shaped
| hounce is finished with three rows Of
silver braid. The standing collar is
Of braid-trimmed white points, and of
the gray cashmere in the back.
Bertha collars of embroidered ba-
tiste appear on very many Of the new
| gowns. Another fashionable mode for
/ linen lawn shows a short, oddly shaped
/ bolero jacket with stole ends of lace,
and edged round the sides with. mar
row bands of stitched linen, the jack
/ ct worn over a tucked blouse of en-
broidered batiste. The skirt is laid
in plaits, meeting on the front
breadths, and stitched down either
side of these plaits, widening grad
uaIIy toward the back breadths.
! French challi and the sheer, beau
! tiful nuns veilings are proving two
/ very favorite materials in preparing
the summer outfit. A lovely ciel-blue
silk yelling made by Paquin has a
bodice of cream guipure lace, with a
net draPery forming a deep corselet,
which is trimmed with black velvet
| ribbon. The skirt is made with a
very wide graduated founce of the
| yelling, two-thirds of the depth OF
| which is trimmed with guipure entire
| deux. The short upper sleeves are
formed entirely of motifs of lace, laid
| over chiffon, and the undersleeves are
of net matching that which forms the
draped ceinture.
Varying shades of one color arr
more sought by high-class mOdiste:
and milhners this season for the mOst
exclusive of their fastidious clientele
than striking contrasts of any Other
description, and certainly there is nc
question as to the refined and artistic
effect of this special fad of La Mode
as compared with the startling col
OF schemes of many seasons past.

WORSE THAN FAMINE.
English Newspaper Says South AfrI.
can Concentration Camps Are an
Eternal Stain on the Empire.

London, Nov. 1.-THE Daily News
exhaustively surveys the concentra-
ton camps in South Africa with the
following conclusions: ssThe truth is
that the death rate in the camps is
mcOmparably worse than anything
Africa or Asia can show. There is
nothing to match it even in the NOR
tally figures Of the Indian famines,
where cholera and other epidemics
have to be contended with" Stats
tice are produced in proof Of this as
sertion.
The governments advertisement for
teachers for the camp children, set
ting forth that the ''term of employ
ment viii be one year certain is
prominently displayed as evidence
that the authorities have no inten-
ton Of ending the wholesale destruc-
ton of life" The News urges all
humane men not to wait for Official
reports but to insist ''on the camps
being broken up and the people dis
tributed among their friends or re-
moved to districts where a fresh at
tempt can be made under competent
organization and with some regard TO
the preservation Of life-that, or ex-
termination and an eternal stain on
the name Of England"
