THE EMPIRE cHEMIsE.
This Garment Back Again in Favor
and Shown in Large Variety
Of Patterns.

The vogue Of empire chemises brings
many charming patterns to light,
many of them as simple as they are
cago Tribune.
The little empire chemise of olden
times, with it's guimpses of lace and
.linOn embroidery and mousseline de
sole or tulle accessories, with elabo-
rate epaulets and befrilled sleeves, was
bothersome to tuck into the corset,
at its best creating an ungraceful and
unwelcome thickness.
To-day these pretty, yet clumsy.
creations have evolved into soft,
adaptable models, which make them
popular for the ball toilet and for the
demi-decolletes and other effects, worn
at the concert, theater and at dinner.
The shoulder pieces are nearly all
detachable, so that they can be re-
jected when need be. They consist
of ribbon, which passes through the
edging and is knotted in the shoulder,
or lace insertion bordered with en-
broidery or lace. Some laces are put
in plain, others, like the valenciennes,
are applied in dainty flower effect.
The body of the chemise takes on
two forms. The one is perfectly
straight, the other is curved slightly
to the figure beneath the arm. In
the latter case the garniture encircles
the arm hole and the shoulder pieces
are made larger and shorter. These
chemises are higher than the others
and please the gentle-woman who
finds the pure empire model too decol-
-lete.
The trimmings are most varied.
Sometimes embroideries are made on

MAN WITH FIRE

BURN FLESH WITH MATCHES
Awful Method of Two Fiends to Learn
Hiding Place of Reputed Wealth

Pleadings.

ChicagO.-Two men tortured John
Colin, so years old, the other night, in
order to compel him to reveal the hid
ing place of his wealth, which they sup
posed was hidden somewhere about the
house
Writhing in the pain of burning
matches, with which the fiends scared
his flesh, the old man maintained that
he had no money, and that SIS in pennies
that the men had already taken from
him was all he possessed.

which his tormentors were unable to
still entirely, though they gagged him,
finally frightened them away, and their
victim hurried to the police as soon as
possible, and notified the authorities OF
his experience. The old man is reputed
to be wealthy. He is a civil war vet
eran.
The police arrested Nicholas Wagner
and Fred Anderson. neither more than
% years old, and when brought to the
police station Colin positively identified
them as the men who had tormented
him.
His money spread out on the table in
front of him. and arranging the pennies
more than 1,500, in little heaps before
him, Colin counted and recounted the
coins. While in the midst of the pleas

moved, and the men even went so far
as to raise the flooring in several places.
The search was barren of results. and

DOGS LONG LONELY VIGIL.
Is Found Half Wild Watching Point
on Island Where Master EN-
barked Four Years Ago.

Victoria, B. CA strange story of
the faithfulness of dog has reached
this city from Vancouver Island. In
November, 1889, the Peruvian ship
Llbertad was abandoned off this coast
and tie crew of IL men made a landing
ct Cape Scott.
Capt. Hansen and two other pros
pectors received the men, who were
taken. to Winter Harbor, where they
were put on board steamer At the
time of leaving Cape Scott the cap
tains dog. large Newfoundland,
jumped out of the boat and swan
to shore. 1t was reluctantly left be-
hind
Philip Nordstrom and two others
went down the coast this season to
Cape Scott prospecting and they saw
this dog. By this time the animal had
become somewhat wild The men
called and whistled, but it was a long
time before it came up to them. 1t re-
fused to make friends, but would re-
turn to the rocks, where it sat looking
over the sea where the last glimpse of
its master had been obtained.
The animal, it is believed, had kept
up this lonely vigil for more than four
years. They would have taken the
dog into their boat, but there was no
room, and the faithful animal was shot
as it. sat at it's favorite spot.
1t is believed that no white man had
passed the place from the time of the
dogs master leaving it until Nord-
strom and his companions came along.

Photograph at a Funeral.

London.-The final obsequies of a well
known merchant who died recently in
Cork city were marked by an incident as
curious as it was impressive. A phono-
graph was placed on the lid of the coffin.
When the DELICIOUS ceremonies were
over the monograph was turned on, and
the mourners in the church listened to
the singing of the final Requiem of Abb
solution" as it had been rendered by the
decedent. The cylinder is to be pre-
served, and it is intended to commemo-
rate each anniversary of his death in a
similar manner. The dead man had a
fine baritone voice, and gave his services
at many public entertainments in the
south of Ireland.

the same material; sometimes insec-
lions or motifs of lace are used as in
crustations sometimes insertions are
gathered on large bands.
The empire designs shown present
different models, which can be varied
with ease. In the first broad valen-
ciennes insertion is separated by q
band of linOn of the same breadth.
A second band, ornamented in the GEN.
ter with fancy stitching, supports the
lace which runs around the top of the
garment
The shoulder pieces are made with
band of linon, edged with lace. II
the trimming is to be simplified use
just one band of insertion. It would
be attractive to dispose a band Of
wheels and lOzenges alternated in lace
or guipure. The shoulder pieces are
attached with fairy invisibility to the
casual observer.
A second garnitures is easily man
aged. 1t consists Of four rows of val
enciennes insertion, separated by mar
row fancy tape, which consolidates
them. 1t would be equally pretty to
replace the second and fourth row by
some dainty bow of embroidery or by
bands of linon, whose sheer plain
ness would contrast effectively with
the transparent lace.
Far more elegant than this is the
chemise which shows handsome en-
broidered edge, cut by little apertures,
through which is threaded a ribbon.
Five tucks ingeniously conceal the
fastening of the trimming to the
chemise. 1t is done by invisible
stitching under the last tuck. A fancy
braid with square figures borders the
lace insertion which forms the center
OF the shoulder pieces. and also encir-
cles the chemise below the tucks
Deep light lace is placed above the EN-.
broidered edge. of the decollete and
again around the shoulder pieces. IL
you are handy with an embroidery

or be the inspiration for original adap-
tations that are simpler.
A fourth model is seen a simple
insertion Of embroidery to which the

shoulder straps, and all are edged with
narrow lace
In the first model of the fitted
chemises square neck is outlined.
with embroidery, through which runs
ribbon. Lace edges the sleeve and
neck. In the second an elaborate de-
sign is undertaken. A half v is cut
out of the chemise proper and filed
in with alternate rows of insertion
and embroidery. In the third seven
clusters of tucks alternate in the front
of the garment with beading embroid-
cry.

one of the men struck Colin in the face
and tore his clothes off,
Matches were then applied to the ex-
posed parts of the aged mans body, but
Colin refused to reveal the hiding place
OF the wealth he said he did not have
Then fearing that the neighbors were
becoming suspicious of the loud talking
the men left and ran down an alley. The
sack OF pennies was taken, and it is be-
lieved by the police that other valuables
were stolen. Colin complained at the
police station and the arrests followed.

of this road through VIM parish
at some date in the near future.
No definite idea can be given as to

the object of our entire citizen
ship to make a long and steady
pull to have it build as near

a good prospect for another one

rate second to none i'm the state.
Doubtless Winn parish is the

come the uncovering of all her
