The fashionable materials for feminine
mourning are vicuna cloth, vigogne, zibe-
line and all varieties of plain black goods.
Soft goods are much favored, grapes and
mixtures of silk and wool serving to inn
part that statuesque effect, alas, achieved
only to perfection on couturiere's model
or the marble limbs of q Greek statue, but
sought after with special devotion by stout
ladies of uncertain age. Peau de soies, soft
and delicate as they are, have just the
touch of daintiness needed for semi-dress
occasions. Silk and jet paSSementerieS, tiny
tuckS and fancy black braidS have all been
called into service to adorn the "trappings
and the suits of Woe" The jet passemen-
terie on gowns is often given a striking ap-

Among the guests at the British embassy

failed TO notice the large number of Ameri-

PARIS, February %, 1901.
The mourning and half mourning that
English society has assumed on account of
the death of its beloved queen are having
their effect in Paris His majesty Edward
VII as the Prince of Wales was always
very popular in the Faubourg St. Germain
set. Indeed his knowledge of the elegan-
cies of polite life and his excellent taste
are said to be due to the tutelage of one
of the great ladies of the old noblesse
whose wit and beauty and savoir faire he
greatly admired. His majesty's own par
tiCular friends in the French capital are
wearing the official willow on account of
the death of his mother, and. of course,
the English embassy, the scene of so many
charming hOspitalites. is swathed In gloom
and silence. The Partisan dressmakers,

tucked waist, a fiounce-footed skirt bear
ing incrustations of lace, are typical OF
the polka-dotted foulard and the tan-col-

Batiste Novelties.
As to the batistes, they have been well

better be left to conjecture, she will find
an ideal asylum for ugly arms in the dressy
sleeves that pouch at the wrist, like those
of bishops robe. The great value of this
long sleeve, with the puffed annex, is that
it not only hides the shortcomings of an
arm that is grossly fat or pathetically
thin, but it can be adjusted as to make
overlong or absurdly short arms appear to
be exactly the correct length If a woman
Is as extensive of limb as the Red McGre-
gor, and also knows when to take advan-
tage of an opportunity, she will choose a
sleeve pattern that demands the use of
dress goods to the elbow only; there a far
Ing cuff will be turned back and from be-
low one long puff or series OF puffs or a
wide ruf1led puff will extend to the wrist
band. On the other hard, the short-armed
woman, being wise in her generation, fixes
on sleeve fitting straight not only to The
wrist but on the outside seam running
down TO a long point on the level of the
knuckles. To give the requisite finish this
sleeve Wldens gracefully at the base and IS
hlled with lace or chiffon puffs. or a reti-
cule-top cuff of fowered silk that echoes
the colorlngs in the decorations of the
gown.
While the dressmalSers take the under
sleeve so seriously, the taiors have all but
excluded it from their code of decoration
A straight arm covering cut off evenly
around the wrist is the ideal for the plain
cloth dress, and evidently will remain so
Tor some time to come, though tailors of
more liberal views will consent to build
plack taffeta coats with satin-lined trumpet
shaped sleeves; inside which a cloSe-but-
toned cuff takes the wrist snugly and runs
up nearly to the elbow. When a customer
has mind of her own. and chooses to in
slst, the most independent of the creators
of cloth suits will yield sufficiently to give
her smart walking sleeve, tucked in hori-
zontal lines from the shoulder to within
few inches of the wristband; the band is
tnen maze OF gold stitched silk overlaid
with lace or embroidered passamentere
and fastened with handsome buckle or
two small bright buttons On the new
chambray and pique shirt waists the under

sleeve on pattern that pouches broadly
from the elbow down, turning back

the arm, and finishing al the wrist with

The Hotel Beat.

Harley Border, the hotel beat, is
still in jail although he waited out
badly.
Yesterday he sent for Wilfred Jes-
sup to defend him, but Wilfred is
in Washington. Others he sent for
did not seem to want the case, and
then he demanded to be tried in the
afternoon and allowed to plead his
own case. As the mayor had set
the case for Saturday morning at
8 clock he refused to change the
time of trial. Whether Border will
waive his demand for jury is not
vet known, but the trial if he pleads
his own case is going to be an inter
esting one.
There was a suspicion that Border
was interested in the stealing of a
watch from a farmer near Boston,
Ind. The farmer was sent for but
failed to identify him

We are told on good authority that
the Z. + & VI. are making all ar
engagements and fully expect to be
running trains of their own clear

nine months over their own tracks.

NJ. had twelve passengers for Gin
cinnati on one train. Their train
down was held back for twelve min
utes by the G. II. Il d. train north so
that they reached Cottage Grove
that much behind time. The G. II.
& d. train did not wait for them but
went right on, with the result that
the twelve passengers had to stay at
Cottage Grove until the next train, a
matter of some three hours. What
an experience that was can be readily
imagined. This is but one case of

A Will Fiqht.

An odd fight is on at Eaton in the
courts over will. 1t has been going
on for two solid weeks. An old man
named James Bruce died there some
months ago possessed of considerable
property and leaving numerous rela-
tives who naturally expected to re-
celve some share of the estate When
time came to settle up the estate i
will was produced by certain parties
which left nearly all the property to
t"o or three persons, one Of whom
was not related to the old man at all:
and only relative or two got any
thing, and those two or three very
little. The suit is to break the will
oy proving undue influence. One
queer thing was the swearing by some
OF the parties that this will was to
supplant one which the old man had
made earlier. giving the same dispo-
sltlon OF the property, but destroyed; !;
and that this will was witnessed by
two men, one of whom was a we'll
known citizen of Richmond. Both
men were produced in court yester-
day and swore that they never wit
messed any such will.

This is one of the most completely

the street looked like Sunday. The
banks did not open at all, the post
office closed after the morning deliv-

and nearly all OF the factories were
closed and the men at home with
their families. There was tramen-

Dealers in Thanksgiving supplies
say that they had the best trade yes

years. There was plenty of stuff to
sell and the buyers were many.
Everybody emed to be able to have
what they wanted. Turkeys started
out at IL cents, but were offered at
10 cents in several places by even
ing, and there were many left on the
hooks at the stores this morning.

Here's something bearing on a
fact which very few knew-that
there is a method in putting the

watch. The average person probab-
ly supposed that these mornings

to come. Since 1868 the hands on
dummy watches have pointed to
Sis o clock, the time when Presi-
dent Lincoln was shot. At a meet
ing held in Chicago the other day it
was agreed to change the marking
to 3:55, the time when President
Mckinley was shot, ard this time
will be set on all the dummy watches
made in future.
