Velvet gowns recently imported from
Paris are beautiful Directoire models,
the rich material admirably lending
itself to this revived fashion, and ad-
mirably contrasting with the embroid-
cries and laces used as decoration. But
velvet gowns are not for all of us, and it
may delight many to learn that our old

THE ferry-boat, 'Rappahannock,"
1 had an experience in the winter
OF 1873 that will never be forgotten by
any OF her passengers.
During one Of her regular trips be-
tween New York and Brooklyn this
boat suddenly quilted her respectable,
though somewhat monotonous. career.
and became common tramp, without
port or destination. ea
= The day awoke in fog such <aIrehe
Oldest inhabitant had Ressxs-sn. The
East river was blocked With ice and
soon became shrieking bedlam OF
cropping and bewildering craft, whose
pilots could scarcely see their hands
before their faces.
At half past nine the 'Rappahan-
nock"' left Brooklyn, we'll laden with
passengers. and started on her Gus
tomary trip almost directly across the
rivera very short aud unusually easy
voyage. Before even reaching the mid
die OF the stream, however, the ice
and fog had thrown her completely
out of her course. Back and forth, up
and down stream, the pilot vainly
CROPPED, amid the shrieking whistles,
ringing of fog bells, and loud crash of
ice boulders, until, in the confused
clangor, he had entirely lost his bear
ings.
When, after long lad pertlous bat
Ting with ice jams and many hair
breadth escapes from collisions, he sud-
denly sighted the landing place on the
New York side, he found it occupied
by sister boat, which had been driven
there to avoid destruction. He backed
out, only to be lost again, and for
three hours this boat, now become a
mere tramp, wandered aimlessly up
and down the East river with its load
OF excited passengers, whose emotions
ranged anywhere between the rage
and Impotence of the belated Wall
Street Spectator, to whom the delay
might mean a loss of $4,000, to the
hysteria of nervous little woman
who had left her baby at home, and
who begged the other helpless passen-
gers for the love Of Heaven to help
her set her feet once more on land.
Between these two extremes of i'm
patience and excitement was a small
proportion Of passengers who remained
calm, even endeavoring to while away
the time by exchanging pleasantries
and making wagers as to the time of
their deliverance. Among these was
group of men In the cabin who, after
having read and reread the morning
papers, were casting about for some
other method Of killing time. One
suggested q game Of cards. ~:
"Cards!" laughed one Of his COM
panions in misery. Who'd carry cards

FITZ ISSUES A. DEFI.

Robert Fitzsimmons, former heavy weight champion of the world, issued the following def to Jeffries and Mun- roe. last night:
 At the close of my theatrical en- gagement I will fight the winner of the Jeffries- Munroe contest.
 ''I do not look to see Munroe wiu; but if he does will undertake to knock him out in six rounds or forfeit the entire purse. I will also make q side bet of $5,OOO that I knock the miner out in that time.
 q will be open to fight any heavy weight in the world when l close my season." #-s.
 Fitzs statement was wired to San Francisco, but no reply was received up to midnight from Jeffries or Nun roe. It is not thought probable that the champion will fight Bob again, but Broadway sporting men cannot sec how Munroe can evade match if he happens to win.

TO END THE STRIKE
Chicago Wants to Get Rid of
 Great Labor Trouble.
CITY COUNCIL TO FORCE SETTLEMENT
Many Shooting Arrays Disturb Stock Yards-One Man Dead as Result of Train Riot and Another'H
 Life Despaired Of.

CHICAGO, Aug 25.-The city au- thorities are to make a second effort to settle the stockyards strike. At a meeting of the city council last night a resolution was passed empowering Mayor Harrison to appoint committee of eleven aldermen who are to make it their business to bring about set tlement
 There was some opposition to the resolution, a number of the aldermen declaring that there would be no good results. The resolution was passed, however, and the committee appointed by the mayor.
 Invitations were at once sent to the leaders of the strikers and to repre- sentatives of the employers inviting them to meet the members of the com mittee today President Donnelly of the Butchers union will be before the committee, and in the invitation sent to the packers they were asked to ap- pear later.
 The aldermanic committee has not mapped out any particular programme, but intends to see what it can do after it has listened to statements from both sides.
 Another shooting affray that prob ably will cost a life has marked the progress of the stockyards strike, and in addition the second casualty of the long struggle was recorded in the death of one of the men who was wounded in the train riot of last Sat urday evening.
 The man who was shot and whose life is despaired of is Albert Brohn, striking cattle butcher, and the man who fired upon him is said to have been Charles Morrell, a nonunion fire man employed at the Nelson Morris power house. Morrell escaped. The man who died as a result of the train riot was Dennis Ryan.

Holyoke, Aug 25.-Umpire Donnelly of Providence, substitute Eastern league official, got in the Connecticut league and out the same day. For the good health and common sense necessary to make the last move Don nelly feels thankful. t
 After yesterdays lively turn on the local plot, Donnelly had better ap- petite for train ride than his supper, He couldn't get to a time table quick enough. Tom Finn, the umpire, had a talk with Donnelly at the railroad station. After a bTotherly greeting, Finn began to talk shop.

 Worked? Why put myself into the hands of few hundred savages. It was more than work. sweat blood" .Donnelly declared that he felt perfectly satisfied with his experience, but he didn't want any more Connec- ticul league umpiring He was sup posed to be on duty to-day at Spring field, but DonnelIy said last night that he would leave the field to some other hero. ''I can get Carnegie medal easier" concluded Donnelly.

WILD BILLS FIRST FIGHT.
He Was Wounded, But Killed Six Members of the McKandlas Gang.

He Was Wounded, But Killed Six
 Members of the McXandlas Gang.
 Wild Bill, whose real name was James Hickok, first came west in 1851. and drove an OK team on the plains for Majors & Russell in 1860. He sub- sequently engaged himself to the over land stage company as stock tender and was put in charge of a new stage station on Rock creek, near the old McKandlas station, which was gener-s ally known as Robbers Roost. This was the headquarters for the Me- handlas gang, crowd that had held together since the Missouri -Kansas border ruffian days and generally had things their own way. A man named b1cklin, and number one stage hand, was the superintendent. He tried to buy out the McKandlas station. but failing in this, he built new one near by, putting young Hickok in charge. Up to that time he had never experi- enced trouble with anyone. and was not likely to have friction, especially with the old station keeper, McKand- las, or his men.
 In the winter of 1S6O-61 McKandlas and his nephew and four other men passed by the new station on horse back, leading an old man who was afoot. They had a rope around the old fellows neck, and occasionally they would take few turns around the horn of the saddle, make q run on the rope and jerk the old man and drag him on the ground until he was nearly dead The only spite they had against him was that he was a North Methodist preacher. If Wild Bill was anything he was an abolitionist and free-SOiler and loyal to the TTnitod States. The McKandlas crowd was planning to make a raid on several stations to secure the stock and 70 south They told young Hickok they would take the stock. He replied thar he would be there
 When they returned late in the even- ing two stopped at the corral, two went to the front and two to the back door of the cabin or hut Hickok told them he would shoot the first man who took down the bars of the corral The elder McKandlas fired at Hickok. but missed him. Hickok returned the fire with a rifle and shot McKandlas in the heart. The next shot from Hickok killed the nephew, and the two fell at the front door. Just then the two at the back door opened fire. One shot from a double barreled gun lodged seven full grown buclxshot into Hickok's right side and breast, two of which entered his lungs. The two men who stopped at the corral camo to the assistance of the two men at the house. Hickok was then i'll hand-to-hand fight with four men. He killed three of them in the house, and wounded the other so badly that he died on the prairie Denver Field and Farm.

THE SPORTING NEWS.

they brought Tansey over the plate with the needed run, and New Haven had the lone tally of 2-to-1 score.
 Terry Rogers imagines he is being paid to deliver lectures to umpires in stead of playing ball. He got so mouthy over a close decision at sec ond dn the third inning that Umpire Conway informed him he was not needed in the game. It took Terry several minutes to remove himself from the diamond and the fans had reason to be disgusted. Ramon took Terry's place at short and Connell went into right field. .-.-.. .
 Joe Connor looked after a couple or difficult foul flies close to the fence. Tansey cut Canavan out of a three sacker by intercepting line hit on the run, Bannon connected with All tizer's fine drive while travelling fast, and Fitzmaurice scooped Joe Connor's liner off the ground. These were the features. The score: ...

Assures John G. MtIburn That He Fa-
 vOrs Self Government.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-Judge Par ker has sent the following letter to John G.. Milburn making plain his at titude in regard to the Philippines:
 You are entirely right in assuming that as I employed the phrase self government it was intended to be identical with independence, political and territorial. After noting the criti- cism referred to by you in your letter I am still unable to understand how it can be said that a people enjoy self government while another nation may in any degree whatever control their action.
 But to take away all possible op- portunity for conjecture it shall be made clear in the letter of acceptance that I am in hearty accord with that plank in the Democratic platform which advocates treating the Filipinos precisely as we did the Cubans, and also favor making the promise to them now to take such action as soon as it can prudently be done"

SCHOOL AT SEA.

Politics" as the old saying has 1t, makes strange bedfellows'' With equal accuracy it may be said that correspondence instruction makes strange beds.'' The first merchant ship sailing from Chicago to England carried among it's crew young cor respondence student who secured his position directly as a result of the technical training gained by his stud. ies. With him he took the instruction student dens. These floating study hunks are on all the seas from Cape Horn to the Arctic Ocean, One young student in the Yukon country writes that he can not take his books and instruction papers on certain expe- ditfon because of the certainty that they will be stolen, while another sailor student cruising off Honduras humorously complains that he sud- denly finds his tuition expensive be cause the revolution Of that energet- ic country has made twenty-five dol lars represent sixty-one dollars, and, not having had surplus on hand, he ''feels the financial rise.'.-Suc- cess.

ESCAPED .,.~ WITH LIFE
New Umpire in HolyOke Glad to Quit After One Days Session in the League.

Holyoke, Aug 25.-Umpire Durn- $baugh needed a day to get his joints
 supple again after his single-handed
 stand against wild Whalers at Nor wich Tuesday, so a young man named Donnelly from Providence, R. l., be- came an umpire. He didn't lose the game for the Champs. In the sec Ond he turned two runs to the locals on a decision at second when he called Fitzpatrick safe on a throw by IO'Rourke to O'Dell. There were two out at the time and safety scored two Champs. It's easy enough Io forget such a present, in fact, u gift of that sort is seldom recognized as such by loyal home crowd, so DCn- nelly was pestered some by Bridge port players. The young man caved in several times and made rulings on balls and strikes that kept the teams broiling.
 In the seventh when Holyoke needed one run to tie and the 800 spectators were ,frantically urging it to be brought forth, Umpire Donnelly called Rossman out at first when he had hit to O'Dell, forcing out a runner at second The double play, thus all lowed, deprived Holyoke of at least one run.
 At the end of the ninth roaring mass of enraged manhood demanded Justice and Umpire Donnelly was closed in on. Police officers led by Marshal S. J. Wright brushed to the |side of the official and with Captain Dowd of Holyoke, Donnelly went to the players dressing room. Later he boarded a car under police escort. Yshe lstore:

CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-In the first race at Hawthorne Allie Virgie threw Jockey Larsen just as the race commenced, but continued along with the field just as though she was in the race. Loud cheers from the grand stand urged her on as she came down the stretch, and she passed the other horses one by one, going first under the wire by a neck. The race was of course decided without reference to her. Tn the sec ond race Jockey Monahan was thrown under the feet of the horses that were following his mount, Evander, and was kicked along the track for thirty feet. He was senseless when picked up, but was not seriously injured.

ALL STAR PUGILIsTs.

Young Corbett has conceived the bright idea of organizing an all-star pugilistic theatrical company. Corbett said at Saratoga the other day that if one boxer could give a show, that halH dozen champions, past and present, ought to guarantee capacity business.
 "FYtz, of course, would be leading old man," said Young Corbett, while Jim Corbett would be the handsome hero, Jeff would be the stern father and Sharkey the designing villain Kid Mccoy would come in as assistant bad man, and Bob Armstrong and Jack Johnson could figure as faithful colored servants.
 '"The leading jevenile would suit Philadelphia Jack O'Brien very nice ly, while Kid Broad and Dave Sulli- van would furnish excellent low cont edy. I would have fights in every act, not all serious, of course, for we would have to burlesque some of the boxing.
 ''I like the idea, and think that there is a load of money in it. The main trouble would be that each of the fighters would ask for million a min ute to. show his ugly mug before the footlights. Unless your average pugil- ist can get at least thousand dollars for making move he doesn't want to work"
