this style of coat. Sometimes they are
of a darker shade and again of exact
ly the shade of the melton, which
makes it appear very different in some
lights. Half a dozen plain black but
tons close the front, which is always
double breasted. Some have plain coat
sleeves, while others have them made
more or less fanciful. This style of
costume is to be very general this sea-
son. In this connection we may speak
of hats, as the hat is, when possible,
made to match the gown and coat. In
this particular case the hat is of fine
felt of the same red shade and is trim
med with small, close loops of red vel
vet ribbon, set around the crown like Il
wreath, while another line of the loops
lies against the hair on the right side
to tilt the hat sharply to the left, which
is against all established precedent.
Covert cloth in all sorts of unusual
colors is among the favorite dress
goods, and it must be admitted that it
is very neat and ladylike. Cravenettes
in gray, fawn, russell and dove gray
are SetH III Tie udIuSOineSl Ddte up
street gowns, some with jackets and
others with longer coats, some even
having regulation rain coats.
Velvet is so very much the rage this
season that no one will be entirely
happy until she has a gown or at least
u coat of that superb fabric. Hats also
are very rich and elegant made of it
and wrought into shape by the feath-
erbone shirring piping. The edges are
generally left so that they form RULES,
the featherbone being run in two or
more pipings about half to three-quar-
tiers of an inch from the edge. Long
and rich plumes of ostrich or made
plumes trim them.
Among the pretty new fancies is that
of having sets of black velvet ribbon
made into neckbands and bracelets.
They are very becoming. The way to
make them is to take a piece of inch
wide elastic and ribbon one-third long
er than the elastic, which should be
stretched a little to fit the wrists, SO
that it will remain gathered when on.
Then lay the velvet ribbon along and
pull the elastic and sew the ribbon on
the drawn places, repeating till it is all
on. OLIVE HARPER.

cut and finish and is exceptionally rich
and handsome. Illustrated here will
be seer such a suit. The skirt is cut
quite plain, with only a trife of flare
at the bottom, and is tailor finished. A
waist of the same is often furnished,
made tight fitting and generally with
small positions at the back and some
arrangement of a vest in front. These
vest fronts are very dressy and usual
ly very becoming. But there are wom-
en- who prefer the soft blouse waists,
and these are going to remain with us
for the rest of this season at least.
Speaking of the velutina reminds me
of the new fad for the crushed velu-
tinas, or, as some call them, broadtail
y~elvets. Broadtail in fur parlance
means a sort of wavy effect on the
black furs. 1t is very rich and used to
be called MORE astrakhan. These velu-
tinas have a very thick and close pile,
and this is crushed in the finishing in
some way and makes a new material
out of an old standard one. b new
est colors are a sort of coppery red and
a deep yellow with a golden brown
cast, in some lights almost metallic.
The coat belonging to this suit in
question has a plain front, and the
back is made in two styles, one being
plain in box shape and the other made
rather wider all the way down the
back and then held in with a strap
across the back at the waist line. This

some OF the New Shades Used In

Heretofore melton cloth has been
employed only for coats, and heavy
ones at that, but this season shows
many full suits of that handsome if

shade known among women as jonquil.

A Town For Men Only.

On the borders between China and
Russia, in Asia, almost due south of
Lake Baikal, Is q good sized town
known as Maimatehin, which is ex-
clusively inhabited by men. The place
has a considerable trade and is also a
military post. An old law forbids we
men to live in this territory, and they
cannot pass the great wall of Kalkan

THERE has been a considerable
change in President Roosevelt's cabi-
net thepast week. Attorney-General
Knox, who resigns to become eena-
tor from Pennsylvania in place Of Mr..
Quay, is succeeded by William H.
Moody, formerly Secretary of the
Navy. Paul Morton, of Illinois
formerly of Nebraska, is appointed
Secretary of the Navy. Victor H.
Metcalf, of California, has been chosen
to be Secretary Of Commerce and La
Dor, succeeding George B. Cortelyou,
who resigned to become chairman OF
the Republican national committee
1t is not generally considered that the
new material in the cabinet is ex-
ceedingly weighty.
Paul Morton, the new Secretary Of
the Navy, is a son Of the late j. Ster-
ling Morton, Secretary of Agriculture
under President Cleveland. Mr.
Morton, as was bis father, was gold
Democrat. A few weeks ago he an
nounced his adherence to the Repub-
lican party, and now he gets good,
fat office. We don't know what sort
of Secretary of the Navy he may
make. His nautical experience seems
to have been chiefly confined to To-
eating artesian wells in Nebraska,
though we believe he has crossed the
Mississippi river several times.

THE value Of the testimony of the
expert in handwriting was clearly
shown at Parkersburg last week. In
a trial in the United States Court a
man by the name of Beatty, from
Warrington, was on trial, and his
conviction or acquittal hinged on the
question as to whether or not he had
written certain letter. An expert,
who was employed at $25 a day, as
serted positively that Beatty had
written the letter. which was COM
pared with acknowledged specimens
of his handwriting. Counsel for
Beatty ridiculed the idea and pro.
posed a test of the experts ability
which that worthy could do no less
than agree to. An ordinary sentence
of a dozen words was secretly written
and submitted to the expert, and
after careful examination he affirmed
that each word had been written by
the same person. 1t was then shown
that three different men in the court
room had each written part of the
sentence. The $25.a.day expert was
laughed out of court, his evidence
disregarded and Beatty was acquitted.

sections of the country, Parkersburg is

President, and by reclamation nomi-
mated Senator Charles W. Fairbanks,
Of Indiana, for Vice-President. By a
good deal Of hard work the delegates

Of the American flag and few other
tricks started cheering that lasted for

IT has been repeatedly said this
week by those who advocate the up
holding of the dignity of the law at
all hazards that it would be great
reflection upon Jefferson county If the
negro brute Williams should be
lynched. This may be true, though
there is difference of opinion in re-
gard to it, but the fact that such
a guilty monster has been allowed to
escape, after having been once cap
tured, is far worse reflection. Better
to have lynched him than to have
trihed with the law by letting him
slip out of the hands Of sworn officers.
If it were not such an intensely
serious matter, and the consequences
50 grave in every aspect, the handling
OF this death-deserving prisoner would
be farce of the most comical charac-
ter. The melodramatic invasion of
Maryland; the inhospitality Of the
Hagerstown jailer; the spectacular
drive through Hagerstown with two
reporters on the front seat of the spa
clous Vehicle; the edifYing spectacle
of the distinguished prisoner lined up
in Williamsport saloon Con the au-
thority OF the Hagerstown Glob0drink-
ing two glasses of beer; the interest
ed audience at the Williamsport sta
ton as the negro smoked a cigar (ac-
cording to the Hagerstown MalO and
the continuance of the journey to Big
Pool, with the prisoner from time to
time taking something stronger than
water to keep up his courage" the
arrival at Big Pool, where crowd
pressed around the officers and their
prisoner, with the station agent i'm
ploring them to he good-all these
incidents leading up to the grand
finale. The end of the play comes
with Sheriff Billmyer, special deputy
Rogers and Constable Rhodes eluding
the crowd by taking the prisoner down
dark road, the constable gaining
ground with thenegro by his side. The
impressive moment when the sheriff
overtakes the constable leaning against
a telephone pole, and only a hole in
the might to show where the black
rapist had vanished, is a fitting time
to drop the curtain. The postlude in
which the bloodhounds are called to
play their Intellectual part concludes
the performance to the utter disgust
of audience, actors and everybody
else-excepting only the negro.
