headforemost from Broadway car
In desperate effort to escape his
captors, and will begin to fight extra
dition tomorrow. Armed with the
indictment the sheriff of Oswego.
Kas.. has started for this city to get
the prisoner.
The rapidly with which Bagwell,
under the cognomen of Brown, could
WOO and win the gentler sex. as indi-
Gated by his great collection of love
letters, was something remarkable.
A glance, brief chat and love mis-
sive was all that Brown seemed to
need to capture heart.
He first obtained clerical position
in the Westinghouse company's Office
and later held positions with Tom
Taggert, Urey Woodson and Judge
Parker.

There is an evident desire for sim

Is decreed that sleeves shall remain

There are so many. many styles and

that instead OF rendering the selection

to- tell exactly which model is going

not an advisable one While smart
the lines are a little too ungraceful
and the coat too ltag for a regular

the skirt is generally plain, and to be
really correct should be long, which is
another objection to this style of jacket
for walking suit.
There seems to be no limit to the
fexibility of the Empire model for at
one time 1T will be seen in a long,
loose wrap and again in a short little
jacket that is pretty well fitted in to
the figure. and both are acknowledged
to be pure types of the one style. At
any rate, the Empire style of dress
has been so obstinately insisted upon
by the leading modistes that a sug-
gestion of its design is now to be
