Woman,s Fancy waist.

The fancy waist, with soft tucked
front and bishop sleeves, is shown
among the latest models, and can be
relied upon as correct for the coming
as well as the present season. The
smart May Manton example illus
trated in the large drawing includes
the newest features and is eminently
well suited to the odd waist, as well as
to the entire costume. AS shown the
material is white crepe de chene, with
cream, guipure over white silk, but all
soft clinging materials, are appropriate,
louisine silk, taffeta mousseline, challIe,
cashmere, albatross and the like with
lace, velvet or applique as trimming.
The foundation, or lining, is snugly
fitted and closes at the centre front.
The back proper is plain and seamless,
but the right front is tucked and ex.

To a woman belongs the honor Of
having first discovered flowers that
emit light. This woman was the
daughter Of Llnneaus, the celebrated
Swedish naturalist. One evening,
when the aged man and his daughter
were walking in their gardens, she
called his attention to some nastur-
tiums glowing with a faint phospho-
resent light. They removed these to
a perfectly dark room and there
viewed the ghostly illuminated flowers
Tor hours, trying to solve the mystery.
Since that time, says the New York
Herald, a number Of different flowers
have been found to give forth a light,
among them being the corolla Of the
common sunhower; also a species of
tagetes, called by the French botanists
the rose d'IndC," and the large and
beautiful compound flower called in
this country the dahlia.

the coronation OF King George l., by
the champion, Dymoke, whose fee 1t
became after the ceremony. The suit
was made for Sir CHRISTOPHER Hat
ton, and is the work of the armorer,
Jacob. The breastplate. Of markedly
peascod form, is of great size, with
two Illuminated plates at the bottom,
and on the left hand side five staples
for the attachment Of the lance rest.
The decoration Of the breastplate is Of
great interest, as at the top Of the
centre band is the crowned reverse
cipher, represented by a capital q and
beside 1t the same letter reversed, a
symbol which was used, no doubt, In
compliment to Queen Elizabeth; above
the monogram is strapwork panel,
containing the figure OF Mercury; at
the base of the breastplate is an OBJ
long cartouche, with the date 1885.
The same theme Of ornament Is re-

church, South Main avenue. During
this period this faithful band of wo-
men have materially aided the church
In its finances. If particulars of the
sums of money contributed to the

any help to realize IL certain sum
of money, they cheerfully respond and

They celebrated the event in an APP

The Revival Services.

The revival meetings at the Metho-
dist church now being conducted by
the drummer evangelist" Rev. W. II.
Williams, are growing in numbers and
interest with each succeeding service.
Mr.. Williams is proving himself a
master hand in conducting such meet
ings. This evangelistic work has been
his work for n number of years before.
His preaching is up-to-date, with live
subjects for each service. He took for
his subject last night Conversion"
John, 81, and said, in part;
"Nicodemus believed in Jesus. That
was not enough. He felt the need Of
something more than this. and came
to Jesus by night to find out what
more he must do to have eternal life.
Conversion is change of heart, it
is the commencement OF divine life.
a change of character in this, the
things we once loved, We now hate.
Where this love and hatred is wrought
by the Holy Ghost it is the new birth,
for conversion generates a hatred to
all evil.
"To be born twice is eternal life. TO
be born once is eternal death. We may
or may not know the time and Dlace
of conversion. but all should and can
know it is done. The question is: Has
there been a change of character and
citizenship? Has our chief interest
been transferred from this to the world
to come.

CRoKER's TRIAL FOR MURDER.
Was Once Accused of Shooting Man
in q Saloon.
Is in the Chicago Record.

w. T. Curtis in the Chicago Record.
Several people have written me for
information concerning Mr.. Croker's
trial for murder. He is machnist by
trade, and in his early days worked in
the shops of the New York Central
Railway company at Forty-second
street. He started in politics IN the
district in which the Grand Central
railway station is located, and his first
Office was that of alderman for that
ward. He was u follower Of James
O'Brien. but had II falling out with
him in 1874. O'Brien prevented Crokers
denomination for the council and nomi-
mated Bernard O'Eeil in his place. On
election day Croker, who was making
the rounds of the district accompanied
by party of strong-armed and des-
perate followers. had an alteration
with O'Brien and a number of his fol-
lowers at the corner OF Thirty-fourth
street and Third avenue. According To
the testimony at the murder trial
O'Brien and Croker called each other
hard names until both lost their tenn
pers and began TO fight. Mr.. Croker
testified that he hit O'Brien twice and
that O'Brien struck him in the teeth.
Then friends tried to separate them
and a general melee followed, during
which some one fred pistol and John
McKenna, one of OBrien's friends, who
was struggling with Croker. fell NOR
tally wounded. The whole party was
arrested and taken TO the station
house, where Croker charged O'Brien
with assault and O'Bnen charged
| Croker with murder
In his ante-mortem statement John
| McKenna stated that Croker shot him.
| He said:
Il saw O'Brien and Croker quarrel
| ing and / ran. and Croker shot me. I
| saw Croker strike O'Brien and shoot
| him. The revolver was so close that
| the powder burned my ear"
Two policemen gave similar testi-
| mony. Mr. Croker was indicted for
| murder and spent two months In the
Tombs awaiting trial. After deliber-
| ating seventeen hours the jurors re-
| ported that they were unable to agree
| and were discharged. Six members Of
the Jury were in favor of verdict Of
murder in the first degree. The other
| six were willing TO find him guilty nt
| manslaughter, hut did not believe TIM
he fired the shot deliberately with II 4
| tent to kill Mcl<enna. Thus he was
| neither convicted nor acquitted.
