NOTHING TOO RICH
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

SPECIAL correspondence OF Inc ENenlHE
NEW YORK, October q. 1904.
Not for forty years at least have furs and
fur trimmings been so much used as they
will be this season. The increasing demand
for novelty has resulted in the appearance
of skins hitherto employed alone for hum
BILE purposes, or which, until recent seasons,
have been considered almost altogether
without value.
Among these are the softly mottled brown
and yellow pelts which once made the calf
skin trunk, with it's studdlng of brass nails,
a thing of beauty and durability. Into the
most absurd. yet charming, little collars
and fat muffs these tenderly hued skins
are used to set off fine gowns in the many
popular shades of brown. Many long and
short automobile coats are also shown in
spotted calfskin under the new name of
yetta Though these softly silken hides are
undeniably lovely. some makers are senti-
mentally averse to their use, and among the
legitimate furriers they are merely known
as novelties" which is, with these people,
a rather scornful title. For the Smartest of
the short coats the plain brown calfskins
are principally employed, and here and
there may be encountered blouse whose
superb embroiderieS are an excuse for the
enormous price asked.
Coats in Russian pony and civet-cat skins
are also the result of the automobile craze
and despite the LONELINESS of their titles,
most stunning garments Two shddeS-a
deep and a grayish brown-are often used
together in the pony-skn coats, which
present shaggy and warm-looking surfaces
and are in loose wide-sleeved forms.
Odd Combinations.
But it is the method of making up skins
long tried and valued which marks the
present fur season as a remarkable one, for
with the heaviest pelts are combined the
alrest frivolites. MORE astrakhan is per-
haps the fad of the hour, and the wider the
wave of the rich black or white hair the
smarter 1t is considered. Sometimes called

Vanilla Soume.

Souffles are the most delicate of des-
serts, and as they should be served in the
dish in which they are baked the dish
should be as dainty as possible. To make a
vanilla souffie requires the yolks of two
eggs beaten together, with two generous
tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar. Add half
q teaspoonful of vanilla extract and heat
3 little longer. Then stir into this the stiffiy
beaten whites of four eggs. This mixture IL

sleeves renders this detail in the fur coat
serious matter. for all sorts OF devices
are adopted to accommodate the freaks OF
under-arm coverings. One blouse coat OF
precious Russian sable had the lower por-
ton of its ample sleeves cut in square
bag, which seemed a mad waste of royal
tails at the back of the garment and cuffs
of the single animal-all save head and fore
paws but this lavishness may be explained
by the price, which was s2,G0Oi The sleeves
of fancy blouse of brown beaver and
summer ermine were very remarkable, In
that they are gathered over the arm and
mounted high at the shoulder in the old,
leg-of-mutton way. But sleeves Of the
top and generously flowing at the bottom
The fur in one mink coat was cut in
squares and faced with founces Of rich
lace.
Continental hats in skins to match the
Jacket worn are stylish freaks of the sea-
son. One in ermine with large black vel
vet rosette at one side was shown with q
loose evening coat in the same skin. With
a mink or sable coat for street wear, the
crown of a velvet or felt hat is frequently
of the same fur, while lace evening coat,
with motifs in some delicate skin, may be
| matched by an airy lace hat with the same
trimmings.
Extravaganza Required.

the right furs with the right gown may also
be suggested. With a black cloth gown was
seen a stole and muff of civet-cat whose
eccentric yellow and black markings styl-
ishly set off the plain frock. Eastern mink
composed a more elaborate set pelerine
with tails and plain fiat muff, which went
charmingly with gown of violet cloth. A
hat of violet velvet with mink crown
hand richly set off these furs, which were
marked at $3.50. Seventy-five dollars was
the very moderate price of the civet set.

Theory of the Murder.
McCarty discovered the body when
he went TO examine the seals Of the
car. That the man could have been
shot and then thrown INTO the car
without the act being observed or the
shot heard by the train men, is one of
the elements of mystery. but this is
evidently what happened Ihere was
much blood in the car, showing that but
little time elapsed between the shooting
and the placing OF the body inside.
Suspects Arrested.
The car in which the body was found
had been i'm the Oregon Short Line
yards since Tuesday.
About / o'clock this afternoon Dep
uty Sheriff Sebring and Detective Pen
4 der arrested two men in the rear of a
Twenty-fifth street saloon. The men
had been followed as suspects, the Off
GERS believing them TO be the men who
held UP George Patch near Tabernacle
square last night, taking his watch and
50 cents. The. men were changing their
! clothes as if TO disguise themselves,
: when the officers entered and this cir
cumstance has aroused a suspicion that
they might have had a hand in the
murder but as yet there is no proof
against them.

A y immense increase in the vote Of
a Salt Lake county is indicated by
reports from registration Offices
last night. Returns from fifEy-one dis
tricts of the city and county showed
total registration IN those districts Of
over $4,000 This leaves forty-one dis
tricts TO be heard from, twelve o. them
being in the city.
The average total registrat ton in the
forty city districts heard from is $50
for each district. Assuming that the
most populous districts have been
heard from and taking 500 as the aver
age total registration for the city-a
fair average in the opinion OF the eX-
perts at headQuarters-the total regis
tration for the city is $4,000. This is by
far the heaviest registration in the
city's history and almost equals the to-
tai vote in the entire county two years
age
II is believed complete returns from
the county districts viii show the reg
istration outside the city TO be In eN-
cess Of 10000 which would make the
registration for the county $4,000. As
this is a presidential year it is believed
about 9S per cent of those registered
will vote, if weather conditions are IA
VOrable which, assuming the figures
used above are approximately correct.

TO believe that the vote viii be brought
