Miss White also denied that she ever
went to Olson's restaurant, where
Spencer was employed as a waiter, to
see him or had ever sat in a box with
him and drunk The only times that
she knew him to visit disorderly houses
was when he served tray orders. She

Harry Holmes, who conducts a boot

they saw Spencer drunk since he was

spective candidates.
While the contest will be a friendly
one yet it gives promise of being quite
spirited and the fight is being watched
with much interest by the veterans at
tending the encampment.
According to the present campaign
the election will be held tomorrow. 1t
may be postponed. however, until the
last day, in order that the candidates
may have more opportunity of working
among the delegates.
There is no candidate from the west
side of the state, and the votes of that
section of the country is the bone of
the contention.

BY a long string of witnesses, the
state proved that Edward Spencer,
whom Governor Mead alleges violated
the terms of a pardon under which he
was released from the penitentiary,
and therefore should be returned to the
prison to complete a 13- year sentence
for manslaughter, has been drunk on
three different occasions since his re-

several months he has not resided with
his parents or relatives and that on
one occasion he called at No. As Rose

couture ornaments Of which every woman
who goes out much in the evening needs
so large a number. The most attractive
just now are the rather small and unob-
trusive wreaths of gold leaves or green
leaves with crystal drops on them. These
wreaths can be easily made, as the sep
arate leaves can be bought and they will
be much less expensive than those in the
shops. Another style is a half wreath, or
rather bandeau, made of twisted tulle to
which crystal beads have been sewed here
and there At one end there is spray of
leaves and at the other end large roses and
leaves. or some other large flower. The
idea is that one end of the wreath should
stand rather high and the other should lie
fiat and end IN hanging tendrils.
Satin snoods, with branch of gold
leaves in front, are also fashionable. The
satin is worked on hoop which fits over
the high couture. This hoop is made Of
wire and can be bent to fit the knot Of
hair. In front there is small bow of the
ribbon and a jaunty branch of golden or
silver leaves. The hoop is fastened down
with hairpins, to which the satin is tackled
Golden wheat in small sheaves is also
very much seen, this being much used
without bandeau or snood and merely at
tached to a single harpn. Silver and gilt
leaves, which are also colored, and flowers
in the same style are all pretty and new.
Flowers are also made of the cloth of gold
over color in order to give a submerged
glow of pink or red to the flower.

of these trimmings the familiar straight
lines can be evolved from most intricate

pleatings it Is perfectly possible to use the
straight line and trimming extensively
from waistband to hem, while on the waist
the same lines are repeated or put on IN
most instances to join without break the
lines on the skirt. The princess and en-
pire effects can be suggested and indeed,
Intensified by the trimmings. There can
be lines cutting the figure. and then across
the upper part of the waist can be the
hand trimming again to give the empire

embroidery Of the finest description are
still to be seen made up with the silk
chiffon and net gowns, but these can hardly
be classed under the same head as the
gowns described. For them the heavier
laces and embroideries are more in de-
mand and far more suitable.

of amethyst beads are shown with req
beads here and there. The pendant on TINS

amethyst bead chains instead OF having q
white cord through them. as has been the
fashion are now threaded on cord nearly

something rather unpleasant ABOUT inc

although neither are SO good as the silver

Canoes are among the most fashlonaDie
antique jewels Of the season and the fad
is being carried out in all sorts OF stones
The old canoes are the favor1tes but num-
bers of new ones are also being made
of striking appearance They are very
large and USUALLY made of the rather light
stones and are not highly polished.
Equally fashionable this season are coral
bracelets having enormous floral wreaths,
huge canoes, ETC., on the back. They are
rather startling to consider as anything
other than cabinet piece. but no doubt
now that they have grown SO popular we
will grow accustomed to see them used as
ornaments just as we have become USED
to so many other things that when they
We're first introduced seemed so very start,
ling. Chains of Chinese silver and gold
are now being much used by jewelers.. who
are mounting them with colored jewels or
attaching pendants to them. The Chinese
chains are very beautiful and most elabo-
rate in design. OF course they are made
by hand: that is those Of them are which
are employed by the fashionable jewelers..
Jade is the most popular of all the many
precious minerals employed as pendants.
Coral ornaments are also used. as are
amethysts yellow diamonds, pink topazes.
&c. A pink crystal is employed as large
pendant quite effectively. 1t is not
natural color. being dyed much the same
shade as pink topaz. The crystal Is ham
mered until fine cracks go all through it
without breaking it. The crystal Is then
dipped into dye and quite a remarkable
effect is produced. One way In which an
old chain may be successfully made over
with these crystals other penda ITS is
to break the chain and finish 1t with two
ends A fancy clasp is placed at con-
siderable distance from the two ends. The
crystals are used to finish both ends.
Among the other special jewelry fea-
lures of the season are the coral combs.
There are many of them old, but. new ones
are also to be had. They are in all man
ner of styles, in plain bands. in ball finish
and other plain styles. and also in most
elaborate designs, with flowers. vines. etc.
Both white and pink coral Is used, but
the red coral is more striking than any
other. Filigree combs In old English and
