HOLE IN HAND.
Young Frank Dow Victim Of a
Cunning Accident.
Hole Blown Right Through Middle Of
HisRight Hand.
Narrow Escape from Instant Death
The Cause Unknown.

| Frank Dow, the 16-year-old son of
John Dow, living at g. bridge street,
met with an accident. Saturday after
i'ooh' "iiti caiiie very near costing
him his life. Young Dow was out shoot
ing, win some other boys, in the oak
growth, hofth OF the NeWbert farm on
Burnt hill, ana was about mile from
the city.
Inc boys We're standing in a group
under tree, Dow among them. Several
of the boys had guns. and Dow had a
double b;trreled breach loader which he
had hired of John Kittredge. Dow stood
with the butt of the gun resting on his
foot, While his right hand was closed
over the muzzle, and while standing
there the gun was accidentally dis
charged.
The charge from the gun tore n hole
clean through the hand, that in the
palm being clean cut, but on the back
the flesh was badly mangled. The
boys face was near the gun, and re-
ceiFed part of the charge, but the
wounds were not serious, as the shot
We're small, and though they plowed
through the forehead in many places,
but few found Judgment.
The wounded boy was knocked down
by the shock, but got up and started
for the NeWbert place, which he event.
ually reached with the assistance of
some of the boys who were with him.
There the lady of the house put a tenn
porary dressing on the hand, and the
aid of II. Nj. Springer'S delivery team
was secured in which Young Dow was
brought to the city.
He was taken to DR.. A. II. Sturte-
vents Office, and later to the City hos
pital, where his wounds We're dressed
Owing to the manSled condition of the
hand, DR.. iSturteVant found it neces-
sary to remove the whole of the middle
finger But few shot We're found in the
face, and those We're removed. Luckily
no injury was done TO the eyes
1t is not known just how the accident
happened, as several boys who We're
present have different versions, and it
is Elohabe, in the excitement which
followed, none of them could tell. The
boy himself said, yesterday, that he
was standing with the butt end of the
gun on his foot, with his right hand
over the muzzle, and his left hand hold
ing the gun, and that one Of the boys
kicked the trigger. Bat in all proba-
blity the accident was the result OF
carclcssness.
Yesterday afternoon, the boy was re-
ported to be comfortable, and unless
blood poisoning sets in rapid recoV-
cry is looked for. l

Charles Fogg, who, with several other
Augusta gentlemen, owns an automo-
bile, had the novel experience, Friday
of being lost in the Wilds of Belgrade.
He had carried a lady out to the village,
and on their return. somehow lost their
way. Mr.. Fogg lost his bearings, and
could not locate any of the landmarks
by which to set himself right, and the
lady, being Il stranger to the locality,
could not render him any assistance
He kept the machine going, however,
and finally ran across Il stump fence or
something that he recognized, and
found himself back within two miles Of
Belgrade and headed for the village.
After he had turned the machine
around, things looked different and ut
length reached Augusta in safety, but
much later than he had expected.

Presiednt Van Fleet, of the Gold

A few days ago, President Van
Vleet states that ten-foot quartzite
dyke was cut which occaisoned
considerable trouble. The dyke is
very blocky and would not hang
together after 1t was cut. A
chimney about twenty feet high caved

before the work could proceed.

Selections.

NEW YORK, January 8. 1903.
More and more elaborate grow the win
ter's cloaks. those for theater wear espe-
cially resorting to every device for effect
iveness.
Stole bands of velvet. appliqued with en-
broidered edges, are seen on long cloth
coats, the velvet shaping at the shoulders
a collar of some sort. and often running
down on the sleeves in odd ways.
With this ornamentation, in itself ex-
tremely decorat tive, embroidered applica
lions in separate flower sprays may be
used. They are of the cut-out cloth, the
needlework done in silk of the same color,
and the ornaments placed wherever they
show to greatest advantage.
One elegant matinee coat of pale bisque
cloth displayed a spray ON the puff Of each
sleeve, and another at the ends of the stole
bands at the front of the coat. Velvet in
deeper shade shaped the stole, and at
other points heavy machine stitching formed
a smart decoration.
The most swagger of the theater coats
are in the palest coiors or white, though
these last are usually reserved for evening
use. However, a white coat is not
common sight at the matinee, and nothing
could be smarter for a box party, wnich
semt-social occasion calls for something
more elegant than common in dress. With
1t a black velvet skirt combines beautifully,
and the white lace or felt hat, which tops
the costume, may show wreaths of velvet
flowers in natural tints.
The flowers now blooming in millinery
gardens are invariably of velvet, and
though all the flora of summer Is seen. the
leaf, berry or spray, which initiates the
sparse and wlstful growth OF winter, Is
more the thing. Among these deckings
holly and mistletoe appear, these forming
with green leaves the entire hat in some
instances.
A very stunning coat worn with white
MORE hat, trimmed with a wreath Of gar
denias. was in a soft cloth with a nap-like
eiderdown. This somewhat clumsy material
was curiously and clumsily treated, though
the result obtained was eminently satisfac-
tory. Made in a three-quarter box shape,
the skirt of the garment hung in inverted
box pleats. These were tied at intervals
with silk cords and produced a slot-seam
look. The same treatment appeared at the
outer line of the large sleeves, which were
pulled into pointed cuffs, heavily stitched.
The deep cape collar was of very hand
some white lace, with the tie strings of the

ables. The cloaks are made in various
ways, and all models which lean to quaint
and picturesque effects are immensely ad-
mired.
played pointed "anger' sleeves reaching al
most to the bottom Of the skirt. At the top
the sleeves were short enough to reveal
arms gloved to the elbows, and back and
front the full skirt of the wrap came only
to the waist
White cloth, embroidered in white, COM
posed this elegant creation, whose edges
were bordered with brown sable. Further
contrast was made at the neck, where, over
a round collar Of the embroidered cloth, fell
a second one Of turquoise velvet, also fur
edged.

Many Of the leading retailers now employ
women buyers end heads in such depart
ments as suits, millinery and lingerie. These
women rank among the most correctly
gowned In the metropolis. When they APP
pear in the millinery or costume parlors
they wear black gowns in that simple style
which comes so high A touch Of white Is
permissible In the bodice. but bright colors
are never worn during business hours
Broadcloth, crepe de chine and soft silks
are popular fabrics with women who held
such positions. and even the young women
who display the goods carry clothes In a
way to excite the envy of their patrons
The business woman OF the masculine,
harsh type Is no longer in vogue.
Women who hold responsible positions
with fashionable firms are expected to visit
at regular intervals the places where the
smart set most do congregate, and goodly
share of their salaries goes for dresses to
be worn on such occasions. To the horse
show, the opera, the best class of play
houses, the smartest restaurants. they are
sent by their firms, and handsome velvet
suits set off by a wealth of furs, are most
popular with them this winter. This Is ma
day Of the successful business woman, but
even financial independence does not release
her from the letters of Dame Fashion.
Unto her much is given, but much is also
expected by her employers and her patrons.

separately and two prizes awarded.
A pretty paper knife might be presented
with the explanation that although the
prize winner has been remarkably success
full in tearing paper. he or she may some
time in the future prefer to cut 1t. A
smart leather portfolio for holding note
paper is another appropriate prize.
To carry out the paper motif still further
the supper table may be daintily tricked
out in tissue paper. The centerpiece could
be Towering pink primrose, Its pot covered
in pink tissue. Bon-bon dishes of crink1ed
paper in the same pretty tint and filed with
pink bon-bons stand at the four corners
japanese paper napkins are folded dairitily
at each cover. Ice cream is served in tissue
paper boxes and the charming scheme car
ried out In variety Of little ways.

More than ever is 1t the aim Of woman
to consider primarily her looks and any
thing which tends to her Identification
Is accepted with open arms With this
state of things styles which have no other
virtue than novelty cannot exist long;
and having run their breif career they
come to the usual f1nish-bargain counters.
And here let us tarry a moment, for
Christmas Is over, and all the shops have
caught the bargain fever. Everywhere
one sees things which, at the beginning
of the season. were often three times the
price now asked, and here and there some
thing really desirable may be picked up.
First among these things may be reck
oned the sets in gray squirrel which

fox tails. and "milliner's' muff-the fiat
sort with shaped f1ounces at the openings
composes one Of the prettiest of the squirrel
sets. Originally SIS. the price of this is
now $40, and such Furnishings would give
look of splendor to the plainest gown
The flower hats have also fallen much in
price, many s25 models now going for $12
while a street gown, which was once $50
| or more, may be had for $40 or less
The price asked for the bargain does not
| alone depend upon freshness Of condition
| or splendor Of materials. The usefulness
Of the garment and the popularity of the
model are the main thing considered, so
| that elaborate finery and the plainest wear
| may often be found in the same heap.
Two pretty reduced gowns, shown by a
| good Broadway firm. offer pleasing sug-
gestions to the woman needing a useful
| street suit. Made in pale brown cloth, the
skirt Of one has drapery effect over two
deep flounces. Brown soutache outlines
the uneven edge. as well as the hens Of the
