SPRING FASHIONS.

London, March 241
 London dressmakers are busy preparing spring tailor costumes, which, according to no less an authority than Paquin, will be fashioned of checked and striped tweeds-light of color and so fine in tex ture as to resemble cashmere From these are made smart little coats and skirts, the former cut very short, the latter very wide at the hem. but fitting well over the hips. As on all the new spring gowns emproderies will be first in favor for trimming. As regards design the Empire mode still prevails, the chief characteris- tic of the new model gowns being high folded belts, tailor modes and blouses alike will be shorter than ever falling straight from the soulder to a little above the elbow and made with far less fitness than hitherto.
 The figure which all Londoners are at present striving to achieve is acquired by corset cut very straight In front and so boned that the hips arc greatly reduced, while the back curves inward at the waist in particularly graceful line
 High chiffon frocks of such unique com bination of color as dull purple over pale blue are trimmed with a noticeable orna- mentation that marks all frocks of light material this year-viz., a heavy hem bor- der, several inches wide. This idea is car ried out on black net evening gown heavily jetted and finished with a hem border of gold tissue embroidered In strong colored wool flowers outlined with gold thread. Still more novel is a pale panne evening skirt worked with a design of bead roses and foliage reaching from hem to hips, the color being introduced by the various shades of wool that thread the white glass beads to the panne. The design is painted on the back of the panne in vivid greens and pinks, which glow through the fabric and beads, giving an indescribably artistic effect
 Hats are made a feature of the Lon don house of Paquin, and the chief novel, ties are brilliant colored straw toques, trimmed at one side with high ribbon bows and great punches of moss roses. Here also are picture hats with immense feathers standing against their high crowns.
 For late spring and summer wear. col ored embroiderles will undoubtedly give place to Irish laces and fine lawn em- broideries, which in many cases will be combined. John Wilson of Regent street Is already showing beautiful collars or hand embroidery edged with deep Irish baby crochet. while one can safely predict a large sale of the new Irish tatting. So lacelike in effect and introduced this sea- son by this firm. It has the recommenda- ton of being moderate in price and will be used to beautify most of the colored linen costumes.

WEEK OF PRAYER.
Meetings of Southern Methodists at
 GreenVile Very Profitable.

Greenville, April 6.-(Special.) )-This week. set apart as a time of united pray CT for missions by the Southern Meth odists, has been one of profit and pleasure 10 those who have attended the services each afternoon and evening. The former service is for the ladies, at which differ- ent ones have presided. Visiting min isters have preached at the evening hours, including the Rev E. c. Moore and Dr. ". NJ Cox of Montgomery. Dr. A. l.. Andrews of Selma. The Rev. A. l.. Sellers of Ft. Deposit will occupy the pulpit tonight.
 Dr. Andrews last night sustained his reputation as one of the most schol- arly minds of the denomination. His easy flow of language, the convincing arguments and earnest manner command ed the closest attention of his hearers, the sermon seeming only too brief. The sermon Wednesday evening. by Dr. Cox, was peculiarly pleasing to the congrega- ton. who remembered him the beloved pastor who served the church for three years. His visit and sermon gave great pleasure to many. The Rev. F. C. Moore stood before a Greenvlle audience for the first time since entering the ministry six years ago. His sermon was strong and logical and would have done credit to q much older and more experienced man. It was easy 10 see that MT. Moore has a future of great promise.
 Modoe tribe of Red Men gave brilliant reception at their wigwam last night, the guests of honor being the lady orches- tra and other friends who assisted them in a recent entertainment. A very large crowd was in attendance and the beau tifully decorated hall was a very festive scene. Those who gave the recent en- tertainment will repeat the performance tonight at Ft. Deposit.

the white man killed and he went to bring her home The owner of the place protested, as the woman did not want to go, and ordered Haley to get away at once. Patton was along and. it is said, had gun. As the white man mounted his horse to leave Haley shot him dead with a double-barrel shotgun. Both he and Patton were arrested in short time.
 Ii was argued that Patton had the gun and went with Haley to kill the white man. The evidence tended to show that both had in mind his death if they did not get the woman. Friends of Patton, however contend that he had no gun and did not go with Haley with any intention of murder

SPRING GOSSIP IN THE
 FASHIONABLE WORLD Bridesmaids Luncheon and Pretty Brides to be Showered
 With Rice.
Bridesmaids

Miss Mary Ruth McLester's bridesmaids' luncheon yesterday, in compliment to Miss Lottie Wren Warner and Miss Jessie Thompson. was a beautiful occasion, as sembing the young women who will be in the two wedding parties. The decora- tions of the table at which the guests were seated were in violets and sweet peas. the eentrepiece fashioned of them and being designed as a floral shoe The table had cover of white lace and the appointments of the luncheon were exquisite. The place cards were wedding bells, handpainted in flower designs. and the luncheon, served In eight eoures was delicious one. The ices were individual slippers, and concealed in them were small bags of rice, which were showered on both Miss Warner and Miss Thomp- son.
 The lovely hostess wore gown of white chiffon and the bevy of beautiful young women, all of whom are to be bridesmaids. made up 8 picturesque and gay party.
 
 Sincere sympathy has been expressed for Mr. and Mrs. Frank Holland Lathrop over the distressing accident to their lit tie daughter Sarah. who was seriously burned on Wednesday night She has fortunately shown much improvement and the physicians now have every encour- agement to believe that few If any dis figuring scars will result
 In connection with the accident was the most beautiful example of heroism on the part of Miss Berry Lathrop and little Miss Eugenia BlouIl,, both of whom rescued the two younger children from the flames. The two children were asleep in the nursery, where a vapor lamp was burning and the draperies about the two little beds were on fire before 1t were dis covered. Miss Lathrop and Eugena were the first to see the flames and they rush. cd to the two children, clasped them in their arms and ran down stairs, screaming to their parents, who were in the library, that the children were safe, but that the house was on fire. The children were carried to the residence of Mrs. w. N. Wilkerson, and in the excitement of dis tnguishing the fire, which was rapidly spreading. several minutes passed before either Mr. Lathrop or Mrs I.athrop could reach the children. and 1t was some time before any one knew that Sarah was burned.
 The Lathrop children are noted little beauties and the news of the accident caused much sorrow. Countless inquiries have been made at the family residence.
 The beautiful nursery is wreck as a result of the fire, and it is believed that the only thing that saved the ehil- dI en from being burned fatally were the blankets between which they were sleep ing.
