MODES OF THE MOMENT,

Velvet covered buttons of various
sizes are used on smart cloth dresses.
The shorter the bolero the more elab-
crate the belt, which becomes an i'm
portant item.
Sleeves composed of small ruf1es are
often seen. They 60 well with bertha
effects and are very quaint and early
Victorian.
Grape poplin is the name of a popu-
lar material combining worsted and
mohair. 1t will probably find favor
for winter wear. 2
Tinted and shaded velvet foliage and
fruits are leading favorites in the sea
sons millinery, and nothing can be
more luxurious looking.
Braiding in silky mohair of all
shades is an attractive revival which,
though adding to the beauty of many
Of the cloth dresses, renders them very
costly.
There promises to be a change in
jackets. The return to short basques
is quite pronounced, and, though some
Of the models have long basques, the
shape will differ considerably from
last season,

VESTS FEAT OF MEMORY.

Ex-senator Quoted letter Received
Many Years Ago without Mistake.
Senator Francis NJ. Cockrell was re-
Gently asked as to the health of former
Senator George G. Vest, writes the
Washington correspondent of the st.
Louis Republic. He said that phys
ically Senator Vests condition Is very
bad, but that his splendid mind is I'M
clouded by the Affections of the flesh.
/. MI. Vest is engaged in the prepare
ton Of a number of articles for pub
LEGATION and dictates for hours each
day to a stenographer on important
historical events of the past.
Not long ago Senator Vest was die
tating, Senator Cockrell said, and
reached a point where it was necessary
to quote a letter received many years
ago. Without referring to the letter,
which he had not seen for a number
Of years, he dictated it from memory.
Members of his family were so inter-
ested in the feat that they looked up
the letter and found that MI. Vest had
quoted it literally and without the
slightest mistake.

INDUSTRIAL ITEMS.

America is now exporting about ST.
100000 worth of shoes a year.
The United States will sell about $10,-
100000 worth of fruits to Europe this
year.
The United States ranks sixteenth as
a wine producing country. Our annual
output is but a fiftieth Of that Of
France.
The discovery Of rich oil fields in the
neighborhood Of Sour lake, Texas, has
created a city of 5000 people in what
two years ago was an uninhabited
prairie.
A ledge of tin 100 feet wide has been
discovered in Alaska which will pro-
duce enormous quantities and probably
cut off our dependence upon foreign
sources.
Canadian capitalists backed by rail-
road men are getting ready to boom
Dawson, Alaska, and to use 1t as a ba-
sis Of supplies from which to explore
vast areas of country where white men
have eve been.

while on the dock vas attacked by
Bum, the mascot of the training ship

Bum to get the better of Rodger. and
he rushed at him and, burying his teeth
in the back of Rodgers neck. tried to
shake him. AS a result the mascot of
the Massachusetts had his leg broken,
and the boys separated them and car

the same as the one contained in the
information on which he has just been
convicted. County Attorney Working
stated that he has three other informa-
lions prepared. Two of them charge

Women .'an..o:aer..

1t Is an interesting fact that the
name of Il single survivor OF the war
OF 1872 now appears on the pension
rolls, that Of Hiram Cronk of Oneida
county, N. Y. who is 1O3 years of age.
But no fewer than LIS widows of the
soldiers in u second war with Great
Britain are still getting money from
the federal treasury. Young women
who are willing to marry aged war
riors with the hope of pensions are
plentiful. Long after every man who
bore arms in the Mexican war, the
civil war and the Spanish war has
drawn his last breath there will be a
host of widows still obtaining pensions.

The barber did not catch him when

barber, who was thinking of the mon
