MODES OF THE MOMENT.

The silk and wool mixtures are very popular this winter, and they come in extra widths and attractive colorings.
 Costly ornamented buttons increase the list of the decorative features of winter gowning, and many quaint pat terms are shown
 French knots are quite as fashiona- ble as ever as means of trimming, with the difference of using heavy twist or saddlers' silk instead of the finer kinds.
 Motifs of grSpes and leaves in gold tinsel about the brim are the deeora- ton for a wide. low crowned hat of miniver fur draped with white silk novelty lace.
 Some of the handsomest costumes worn at ffashf5fH tbse bie functions are mad of cream white cloth or zibeline, trim med with strappings of the same. fur bands and real gold buttons.
 Various notifications of the clerical or barrister's collar appear on new Eton blouses and coats, with half dou- ble breasted fronts which turn back in rather elaborate revers effect when the jacket is open.

Gun Bursts on the Iowa.

Three men were killed and five in- jured by the explosion of one of the big guns on the battleship Iowa while the vessel was at target practice in the gulf of Mexico on Thursday. The for ward port 12 inch gun burst from the premature explosion of a shell, and twelve feet of the piece outside of the turret was demolished. The three men killed and the injured were on the sec ond or gun deck at mess. Three pieces of the exploded gun. each weighing more than ton. passed down through the forecastle deck, falling upon the men. The men in the turret hardly felt the explosion.

 "Attin-ticnr' Mick commanded. All of us peered between the rails. There was a perceptible movement along the enemy's front. and at their left flank a single fieldpiece was pushed forward. Suddenly that fieldpiece was fired. and we heard loud volley of musketry and hundreds of bullets whistling over us, hitting tree trunks and cutting twigs. Sergeant Mick, the only man who was standing, turned suddenly on his heel and looked behind him as if he had dropped something. Apparently shot or bit of grape from the tieldpiece had come his way, for Mick's left arm was severed just above the elbow and hung by a strip or two of his sleeve.
 "Will somebody loose that thing from mel" said Mick.
 I drew my knife from its sheath in my boot and cut the shreds of sleeve, dropping the arm to the ground. Two other men quickly bound the stump with a handkerchief twisted rope fash ion, putting under it bit of dead stick in lieu of tourniquet. It was every troopers duty to know what to do in ease of accident. Mick turned and looked again toward the enemy. laugh ed and said:

The Character Scared Him.

David Garrick had a brother in the country who was an idolatrous admir- CT of his genius. A rich neighbor, a grocer, being about to visit London, this brother insisted on his taking a letter of introduction to the actor. Not being able to make up his mind to visit the great man the first day, the grocer went to the play in the evening and saw Garrick in Abel Drugger." On his return to the country the brother eagerly inquired respecting the visit he had been so anxious to bring about. Why, MT. Garrick," said the good man, 'I am sorry to hurt your feelings, but there's your letter. did not choose to deliver it. I happened to see him when he did not know me, and I saw that he was such a dirty, low lived fellow that I did not like to have anything to do with him."

GAYER SILK PETTIcoATS.
That of Taffeta is the Favorite for
Street Wharf.-The Dressy Petticoats.

The Partisan woman always wears a
pretty pctticoat. Under fine frocks or
shabby ones, in good weather or in
stormy weather, she wears the dam
test of petticoats and shows it reck-
lessly by the fashion in which she lifts
the skirt of her frock from the dust
or the dampness of the pavement.
Possibly the Partisan fashion of lift
ing the dress skirt is open to object
ions. but even the modest must adj
NIT that given the skirt lifting. the
French petticoats are eXtenuating cir
cumstances.
The French method of holding up a
frock has gradually been finding ac-
ceptance here. Let us regret it and re-
joice that the petticoat manufactur-
eTs are doing their best to meet the
emergency.
There was time when it was the
exceptional American woman who
wore a silk pettcoat with her morning
frock. If the average woman owned
such an article she reserved it for oc-
casions of STATE. but we have changed
all that, and we are even Cutgrowing
the serviceable black silk petticoat,
and breaking out in gay frivolity.
\ hundred silk pettioOats are sold to-
day where one was sold ten years
ago. and the woman who makes any
pretense of being well dressed has not
one, but several silk petticoats in her
outfit. Girls wear silk petticoats fer
golf, for morning, for afternoon, for
evening. though the exquisite lingerie
skirt, quite as expensive as it's silken
sister, is preferred by some.
1t is all a part of the increasing ex-
travagance in womans dress. and
though it may point a moral, the philo-
sopher will turn his back on the moral
and admire the petticoats.
Fer general street wear the taffeta
skirt with close fitting flounce, flaring
around the feet, is still the favorite 1t
is cut even more skillfulIy than it was
last season, and the beauty and quail
ity of the new silks glorify the petit
coat as well as the silken outer gar
ments. The eXquisitely shaded shot
silks are first faYOrites. but the plain
taffetas, the fine stripes, the lowered

CHEAPER TO PATENT.

number of mining companies IN

properties patented, says the Flor

is cheaper to pay $50 per year taxes

perform 800 worth of work each year
on an unpatented claim. Not only that,
but a patent settles all doubt as to
the title to a claim and prevents black

The bond election is now
before us as a community.
The question is shall we own
the water system of the town
or shall we hire the system
now owned and operated by
private individuals. In study
ing the question citizens
should consider the PROPOSE
ton from all standpoints, and
each man should deliberate
before casting his vote. This
matter requires thought. To
think we'll one must have
good food = easily digested
and assimilated. A mixed
diet is required. Eat fish if
you are to get'the best thought
for this question.
We have the fish to furnish
brains for a decision in the
bond election.
Another essential to good
health is a proper cleansing
of the system. If you suffer
from constipation eat one or
two of our New York apples
before going to bed. Then
we have upper Verde and Cal
ifornia apples, too. They are
better than pills or Christian
science. Try "grape fruit"
for breakfast and two apples
upon retiring. Nothing is
better for your blood. Try
our prescriptions when all
others fail.
Just a word about our flow
ers. If you are going to give
a swell dinner, or if you re-
quire flowers for any occasion,
please try to give us your
order ahead, in time for a GER
tainty without delay. We can
get anything you want, but
we will need time for choice
varieties. Violets, lilies,

Iers spun the magic wheel to decide the number
of his space the day was surrendered TO ar
ing grievances and discussing the untrieo meFi'O
and dernerfts Of the departure.
The first grievance was that the pedlers, VINO
said they had not tasted food since midnight
must walt for the arrival Of superintendent
Thomas H. Stanton to know exactly what was
expected Of them: the second that one OF the
pedlers who had obtained a space was already
running fish store which brought in 1t was as
serted. at least $50 week; third, that there
were several others holding coveted spaces who
ran fish stores and, buying on a more whole
sale scale could thus cut down the prices, and
fourth, that another Of the speceholders was
not fish pedler at all, but had hitherto maze
his livelihood by pressing pantaloons
The occasion was improved by lAo' who'
using his left hand a palette, with his r1gne
painted license and space numbers on strips OF
tin at FIVE cents a number.
At 2 o'clock q tumult of shouting announced
the arrival OF Mr.. Stanton, who explained the
rules and regulations governing the new market
On Mondays Tuesday and Wednesday Of each
week the pedlers may occupy the guily 1IoLn no y
g. m. until p. m, when the marker WIN .+ oe
closed, and thoroughly cleaned and flushed, after
which it will be opened as a playground Tor the
children. On Thursday, which is market dey
the mart will open at p m. continue prooap1s
hour on Friday. when the Jewish business week
will be over.
Mr Stanton promised to look to It that any
sraceholders who had fish stores elsewhere were
promptly expelled from the market
The new market is four hundred feet long ana
thirty feet wide, running two blocks along the
south side of the bridge from Ridge to ClHton
st. BY means Of white and scarlet lines, rued
bv the Commissioners own hands, It is divided
into 116 numbered spaces each some by 1O
feet The street is asphslted, and there is
wide gutter at the curb. A 2O-foot high avn
ing, to afford protection from the weather. will
soon be erected The market will be illuminated
by three 10,OO0-candIe power arc lights. AT no
remote date the arch at Delancey-st, is ex-
pected to be available
