Tho Historian of the Laucas ter

very interesting piece on the
imprison ment in the Lancaster
Jail of eighteen brave Confederate
soldiers, among them her nephew,
Mr. Geo. w. Williams, who
were captured by the Yankees,
and condemned to be shot by
Gen. Fitzpatrick, but who were
afterwards exchanged. The day
before they were to he shot they
agreed To oVerpower the guard,
and make their escape, with the
exception of one ewto was Mason,
and he thought that would save
his life. Next morning at the APP
pointed time as the door opened
the brave leader put his foot in
the crack of the door, so that it
could no. be closed. The guard
comprehending what this meant,
smilingly remark ed--"There's no
use of that, boys; you are to be
exchanged man for man." and it
was said by the one in front,
"Thathe would never hear sweet
er music this side OF Heaven than
the words, "Exchanged man for
man." Our historian also gave
us thrilling bit of war history,
of seeing one # Wheeler's men
capture Yankee in front of her
mothers home, where Mr.. w. B.

on the front piazza and she saw

AS short jackets are being worn with
every style Of skirt, even in all black,
the coat Of a suit cannot possibly be
made to serve the purpose Of an extra
wrap. When the long three-quarter
coats were in vogue IL was possible with
a white suit to get along without
separate white carriage wrap, but now
there must needs be provided some long
cloak that is of medium weight and

cloaks are quite long, with long sleeves,
and the smartest have full length long
sleeves with turned-back cuffs OF silk

uIar at present, and the front OF the
coat IS always loose, preferably double
breasted, fastened with large metal or
fancy buttons. Black velvet collar and
cuffs trim the coat attractively, but, Of
course, light coIors are always effective
in summer. so that blue. red. green, or
mauve silk or velvet may also be en-
pIoyed.
A long covert coat is sure to be smart,
and such a jacket is perhaps even more
useful than the white wrap described
above. This may be made either half
fitted. loose, or in the empire model
which IS now so fashionable. Long
sleeves seem more in keeping with the
heavy material, but elbow or three

WESTERN MONEY COMES EAST.
Chicago Banks BENEFIT by Demand Here
AN Adv nnce In .Ralea.

CuICAuo, March a-The distinctive fea-
OF the local money mrkefa this week
have been n steady increase in the demand
for funds in the form of collateral loans
and the withdrawal OF some Of the large
national banks froin,the commercial pa per
market on this account.
The demand for money from the East
has been persistent and 81 per cent, has
been freely paid for fresh six months loans
and on rene walls. The urgent character
of inquiry from this source does not differ
greatly from that of the preceding week
other than that rates are perhaps a quarter
Of I per cent. higher; so the real strength
of the money market, while taking its in
~itiative from the conditions in the East,
has been materially increased by the stimuli
taneous ouickening OF inquiry and actual
demand in Western territory ordinarily
supplied from this centre.
The local banks appear to be very closely
loaned, and their SURPRISES are employed
further into the year than customary. at
this season. Thus the spring requirements
are nearly at hand and If THE bulk Of these

loans money is likely to keep very firm
