When caught up out of the way, it is passed across the front of the body and fastened to the belt on the right side. This vestida Is made of silk, satin or velvet. very rich. and as the Spanish taste for red. yellow. and black is sliar ed by the Filipino the floor of ball room while a baile Is in progress is more or less of q poem in those colors, with oc- casional hints of blue and green. Usually these ball and dinner vestidas are ele- gantly and expensively and-embroider- ed in silk, as much as $500 to 5000 be- ing often the cost of single dress skirt
 The next garment is the camiseta, which performs the function of the Amer

It surrounds the under clothing that infolds the upper portion of the body, having a low neck, but not cut decollete-no Filipino woman would wear deeoilete dress-and has very wide, short sleeves. It is made of the beautiful thin pima cloth, manufactured from the fiber of the pineapple leaf, and. Is practically transparent. The cloth is sufficiently stiff to cause the large sleeves to stand out from the arms and

He was known to everyone, although
very few were acquainted with him.
He was active in business affairs,
close, shreWd, prudent and exacting
in all Of his transactions. Year by
year. as he came into the possession
of more land, it was said that he was
the Wealthiest man Of his time in
Whitman county. His neighbors think
that he purchased the different tracts
of land surrounding his homestead
not so much for the purpose of own
ing the land as to keep neighbOrs at
a distance from his lonely cabin. For
80 years. it is said, he lived alone in
the. cabin which he built in 1872, en-
PERTAINING no friends Or neighbors and
holding no communication, except
business dealings, with the outside
world. He held a strong aversion 10
doctors, lawyers and banks, and
Stunned the society of women. Dur
ing the 80 years Of his lonely life he
was never known to eat a meal with
neighbOr or remain away from his
cabin retreat over night. There was
no thought in his makeup as to no
toriety for himself, Or ever assisting
any one in distress. Seldom was he
ever heard to speak Of the companions
CT his boyhOod days and never of his
relatives He would talk Of his mess
mates and his captain Of the Confed-
crate army and tell of their exper-
fences, but aside from that his life,
so far as he would tell it himself, was
a total blank From his heart he
seemed to have blotted out all of the
finer instincts so that he might exist
alone, no pleasure to brighten his
days, no companions to tighten his
sorrow. Thus he passed away, ana
the relatives whom he had summed
Tor the greater part of his life will
reap the benefit Of his hard labor, toll
AMI saving.

TRIAL OF MILLER AND JOHNS.
Miller, Cool, Keen aud Deliberate, is Hard to
candle
(By the Associated Press.)


Cincinnati, O., Oct. 16.-The evidence
W as concluded and arguments were tegun
today in the trial of Miller and Johns
for alleged conspiracy to extort a bride.
As six hours were allowed for arguments
and only half an hour was consumed be
fore the court adjourned tonight, 1t Is
evident with five and a half hours For
arguments tomorrow and additional time
for the charge of the jury and motions,
the case will not go to the jury until to-
rtorrow evening. 1t is thought by some
there will not be a verdict until Monday.
The feature today was the testimony Of
the two defendants.
After being on the witness stand three
hours yesterday, Johns was cross exam
ined forever an hour today. He denied
that he had told Inspectors Victory and
Fulton when they were investigating him
at Rockville that he would talk II he
thought nothing would come of it except
the dismissal of a clerk in Washington.
Nest Of his evidence today consisted III
such dcnials.
Miller was on the witness stand for
nearly five hours and was generally con
ceded to be a exceptionally strong witness
for himself, both iii direct and cross X-
animation. He was cool and deliberate
and the court frequently stopped him
from arguing his own case while answer
ing questions. Miller was confronted with
a severe cross-eXamination without being
disturbed even III trying to explain contra
dictions in his own statements.
