called mantillas, just for politeness' sake ,:
and are mainly long capes with pointed
ends front and back, and sometimes caught
at the sides to initiate sleeves.
In England they are long and plain except
for fur collar, made of serge or Venetian,
or heavy worsted, and quantities of them
are being worn for walking, driving, travel
ling and even, in light oolors, in the theatre.

It is an expensive. rich garment, but
without the grace Of outline that has dis
tineuished American dress for several
years past, when elaborate wraps have
been designed with trained eye for folds
and fine color schemes. Yet on the other

too elderly, planned By herself. but gar

On the day after the murder of
Sheriff Harris we, the undersigned,
Dennis Deneen of Hammond and
George D. Kline of Hudson, officers
of the Democratic county commit
tee, called upon Jas. A. Frear in the
forenoon and had the following con-
versation: Mr.. Frear, while we be-
lieve that political courtesy would
require that the vacancy in the
sheriff's office be filled by Demo
crat, yet we will waive all that, and,
if man is appointed to fill the va
cancy who is agreeable to Mrs. Har-
ris and who will turn the proceeds
of the unexpired term over to the
benefit of her and the children, we
will not inquire to what political
party he belongs. Under the cir
cumstances the appointment should
not be made with haste. A careful
prudence would preclude the Gov
ernor from filling the vacancy until
he has received a petition setting
forth the sentiment of the county.
