]. H. Surratt's Flight.

On the day that President Lincoln
was assassinated by John Wilkes
Booth in Ford's Theatre, in Washing
ton, John 81. Surratt was in Elmira,
n. Y, and \ few hours before the
shooting Of the President he had q
long conversation with an acquaint-
ance who met him in that city. This
friend returned to Baltimore some
time ago for the express purpose OF
talking to Surratt about his memora-
ole adventures, and thus speaks of the
interview:
II m John H. Surrat casually in
Elmira, n. Y, on April IA, 1865, just
few hours before Lincoln was assas-
sinated. Surratt was a travelling
salesman, or passing for such; he GER
tainly had business with some Elmira
merchants, and it was in store that
I was; introduced to him.
"He was slender, well-dressed
young man, and if he had any lean
ings to the South or felt any chagrin
over the collapse of the Confederacy
be kept it to himself. The following
day, Saturday, April Is, the country
was shocked by the cruel murder of
President LAcoln, and it was known,
throughout the land that Mrs. Sur
ratt had been arrested as one of the
consplrators and that q warrant was
out for her son, John Fl.
"That the young man IN Elmira had
no direct connection with the murder
of Mr.. Lincoln and the attempted
murder of the members of his Cabinet
was very evident, } ct that he associat-
ed with the conspiratOrs became GER
tainty when he suddenly vanished
without leaving a trace behind him,
so That for two years, while glimpses
we're had OF him here and there, he
remained undiscovered.
Had be b,en captured at that time
he. would have been hanged with his
mother, or neither would have been
hanged. The people were so incensed
at the time that it does not seem pos
sible that he would have been cleared
in 1865, when be came so near to con-
viction iu 1867, after time had appeas-
ed the wrath of the people and an i'm
partial trial was possible.
''It will be remembered by those
who recall Surratt's trial before udge
Fisher in Washington that he confess
ed that as soon as be had learned OF
what had been done in Washington by
the conspirators be fled to Canada
without cent in his pocket, 50 that
much of the journey had to be made
on foot. From Canada he made his
way to Europe and succeeded in reach
ing Rome, where, being Catholic, he
enlisted in the corps known as the Pa
pal z ouaves, and while in this service
was discovered by United States
detective, extradited and brought
home for trial
''At the trial it was clearly shown
that Surratt, if not fellow censpira-
tor, at least associated with Booth,
Paine and others, and during the war
he acted as spy and a secret currier
Of the Confederacy, successfully car
rying messages between Richmond
and the South's commissioners in Can
ada, and his merchantile business was
assn umed as blind to disguise his real
purpose.
"This ofense, like stealing among
some of the ancient Greeks, was en-
tirely legitimate so long as it remain

NEW YORK FASHIONS.

Irlncesse gowns Will be worn this
Spring, and with them the short Dol.
ero jacket.
Small ruf1ies Of Val or other deli
cate lace, may be run around the up
per part of the blou Sc with excellent
effect, for slender wearer.
Dotted gray louisine, trimmed with
bands of Persian embroidery make
charming blouse. Clusters of tucks
alternate with the trimming bands.
Another dainty bodice is of blue
figured louisine, with yoke of Vene
tian lace.
Tucks and shirrings are very
popular. Usually, large, horizontal
tucks aronnd waist and sleeves, and
smaller tucks at the shoulders, are
noted on stylish bodices.
Hip-length coats are quite the
things. One chic affair OF Irish linen
is in box shape, embroidered with
mistletoe design and eyelets.
One of the most exclusive materials
for dainty Spring costumes is chiffon
poplin. 1t comes in delicate Spring
colors, and costs 50. a yard.
Favorite combinations are mauve,
lilac, Parme and all the vast army of
blues, with white.
The suspender costume is favorite
model for house wear. They have
very large sleeves, much puffed and
caught here and there. These COS
tunes may be made of any light
weight material, from cotton chiffon.
The high-bust basque is certainly
with US for a sojourn. The line length
is prettily broken for slender ladies
by draped or shirried fronts or fancy
vests.
Very soft wool materials are com.
bined with brocade velvet very effec-
lively.
The tight-6tting coat is likely to
have great innings in the coming Eas.
ter parade. Some extremely plain
tailored coats are noted in leading dry
goods stores, and they are varied by
the ubiquitous Eton jacket, the short
plated bolero, and long, lace-trimmed
cape which is very ripping in effect.
Bridal gowns show shirred and
and bloused waist, caught with sus-
pent1er and girdle.
Some Directorie coats reach almost
to the bottom of the shirt. They
come in rich greens and browns and
purples-the latter looking like truly
royal robes. Direstorie skirts, suits
and hats are unanimously popular.
Now i know you are all interested
in this subject, and will want to know
more about what to get to enhance the
beauty of your good selves; SO just
write to the Sahlin Company, of Forty
three, Fulton Street, Chicago, and
ask for their pretty illustrated book
let. You will find pictured therein,
dainty little aids to grace and beauty
of form which will solve for you the
problem of successful dressing, in the
twinkling Of an eye.
Grass linen will be favorite Sum
mer material. 1t appears both lined
and unlined.
Parasols are the acme of smartness,
running a gamut of fabrics from linen
to chiffon. One beauty in heavy
white tatfeta has band of panne vel
VT embroidered with roses in natural
r,'crs.
Little glove handkerchiefs are OF
hand loom linen, very sheer, with
hand-stitched hens and one finely
embroidered corner. They are just
big enough to tuck in the glove.

81 remember when l was q student
at Wyoming seminary" said clergy
man, "a farmer came in Kingston to
visit his nephew, whom be was educat-
ing.
The farmer had no urban polish.
His tea when it was brought was very
hot and he poured it in his saucer, to
his nephew's great modification.
FINALLY, unable to restrain himself,
the nephew was so rude as to say:
"Uncle, why do you pour your tea
in the saucel?'
"The old farmer looked up in sur
prise. Then he said in a loud, hearty
voice:
"To cool it, to be sure. The more
air surface you give it the quicker it
c0ols. These here modern seminaries
don't teach much science, do they?"
"What's the matter with your
wife?"
"Oh, I've just acknowledged that |
made fool of myself in lending Ham.

NOT "A BLEACuED BLONDE.

A great majority of the girl steno-
graphers, as we'll as the men, secure
employment through some typewriter
establishment. A number of funny
incidents develop. A young woman
of a perfect blonde type called at an
office on Ninth street to secure a po-
sitlon. Her hair was straw colored.
She was sent out to an address, but
returned with the following complaint:
"Though am an expert stenogra-
pher, as you know, find it difficult
on account of my straw-colorcd hair
to get work. Men think that my hair
is bleacbed and they hesitate to en-
ploy bleached blonde, for they we'll
know that she who would bleach her
hair to so conspicuous hue as mine
would have a soul too frivolous for
sober typewriting and shorthand.
"When l was cut of work last year
l had to apply to SIX Offices before /
could get place. Three of the men
to whom l applied didn't test my
ability in any way. They said lamely
that they were sorry, but they prefer
red an older, a more sedate person.
Two men, after brief talk, admitted
that NY work suited them, but had to
admit also that their wives had pecu-
liar views and would object to my
presence in their husbands Offices.
"The man who engaged me was a
bachelor, He, too, was about to re-
pulse me, but broke out desperate
ly with:
"Look here, l am not a bleached
blonde. My hair is straw-colored nat
urally. Ifyou object to it, I'll wear
a brown wig during office honrs.'
"The man lau ghed and took me on.
He has told me since, though, that he
would not have taken me but for my
frank outburst. Now he tells me he
has been compelled to dispense With
my services because of the many jokes
that bis friends are poking at him."
