and certainly she regretted the fancy
stitchery on which she spent so much
time in May and June.
Simplicity marks the lingerie Of
Miss Baby. Plain scalloped edge and
place Of more elaborate designs for
trimming and very few tucks are
used. :
The picturesque, developed along
simple lines. is feature Of Juvenile
raiment this season. That IL, little
frocks that are quantity old-fashioned
in their lines are made from plain ma
terials and are little trimmed. This
means very short. puffed sleeves.
square or round necks. showing the
flesh literally. rather long skirted ef-
fects, no rufies or tucks, but deep
hens and short stockings or socks
with diminutive black slippers.
This innovation OF extreme SIM
plicity Is a boon to both mothers and
children. It means far less labor to
the mother. far less fussing for the
children. Five or six Of these simple
little dresses in the weekly laundry
does not mean SO much, but were they
covered with tucks frills. lace and en-
broidery the work would be trebled.
An old style that Is revived, Is the
bishop dress for the youngsters to
play in, and IL made in fine material Is
quite pretty enough to visit In. How.
ever. 1t works up SO well in little
checks, with Just touch of embroi-
derry at the neck and sleeves, that 1t
Is most popular In that sort of mate
rial. The sleeves OF these bishop
dresses form part OF the dress and
are joined right on to the neck band.
and you cannot imagine how a child
welcomes the freedom of these little
play frocks.
The same simplicity is found In out
er garments. and the plain long coat
that falls In unbroken lines from the
shoulders is the favoritc for young
children, and II Is always becoming
to them.
Time was when belts were used,
fancy buttons. colored braids and
even lace. but those must all be put
away for another time. A little vel
vet collar can hardly be classcd as
trimming. To some children who are
particularly pale or sallow. 1t lends a
tone to their cheeks. and for such
children II is recommended.
Almost all the babies are wearing
little plain pique hats, the tops of
which are buttoned on. These little
hats protect the baby's eyes and are
readily Numbered. For the little one
who still wears a cap, one made OF
sheer handkerchief is as pretty and
effective as those costing much
more.
These should be fitted to the head
OF the child and tied with u tiny pink
or blue ribbon under the chin. Sun.

doors are again much worn, and can
readily be made at home, while the

have them trimmed with Just an ex.

The First National bank has received
one of the new $1,000 gold pieces which
are to be coined instead of those now in
use. The coin is decidedly different from
the gold pieces that have been in circu-
lation for years and to large number
of those who have seen it at the bank is
not nearly as attractive. 1t is very
plain, and on one side where the head of
Liberty was raised, on the new gold
piece appears the head of an Indian sur
rounded by half circle of thirteen
stars, signifying the original states. On
the reverse side is the eagle, but instead
of the spread eagle as before, a profile
view of the bird is given, standing erect
with the wings close to the side. 1t is
decidedly different from the eagle that
has been used on the U. S. money and
looks more like Buff Cochin rooster.
Around the edge of the gold piece is a
star for each state in the union. The
motto, "Tn God We Trust" has been
eliminated. The money has been coined
in denominations Of $1,000 and $2O.O
thus far.

SUICIDE VERDICT Is
BROUGHT IN BY JURY
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, March 15.--"We, the
coroners jury, find that the deceased,
Frank M. Washburn, came to his death
by nitric acid poisoning, administered
with suicidal intent" Thus closed the
last chapter in the life of one of the
Crown city's most prominent jewelers..
He had struggled long and wearily
against misfortune after misfortune,
and the overwhelming blow came at
last, crushing out what little hope in
life there remained. He had been a
devoted follower of church work and
a devoted father to the wife and chill
dren who survive him.
When the wife found him in bed,
cold and lifeless, Thursday evening
when she returned home there was
little thought that death had resulted
in any but natural manner. 1t was
not until the autopsy surgeon this
morning discovered that the stomach
had been eaten away by the fatal
poisoning that the suicide theory was
advanced, believed and acted upon by
the jury impaneled by the coroner to
investigate the death.
Yesterday there was a search made
for the source from which the jeweleI
might have procured a poison which
would have ended his life. 1t was moi
found. The poison that was used was
one that every jeweler could obtair
without going outside his own place
of business. 1t was a soldering solu-
ton used by jewelers. and contained
large percentages of nitric acid.

FIFTY RATS FIGHT
FARMER FOR HIS LIFE
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, March 15.-William
Fisher, an old farmer of Richfeld, has
learned how fiercely a rat will fight
when he is driven into corner. Fisher,
armed with a pitchfork, battled for
half an hour with fifty rats in his barn.
He was victor eventually, but he is
nursing numerous lacerated wounds on
his neck, hands and legs where the rats
bit him.
Going into his barn, Fisher found five
rats in feed barrel. He seized pitch
fork and struck at them. Two were
killed and the others jumped from the
barrel. Fisher drove them into a corner
and was about to strike at them when
one jumped at his face. He met the
animal with the fork and knocked It
back against the wall.
The three came back at him, one
jumping on his right hand and two Bit
ing his legs. Fisher killed one and was
battling with the other two when sew
eral rats came from a hole and joined
their mates in the attack on the old
man. Some ran up his clothing to his
shoulders and bit his neck and head
while others attacked his hands and
feet.
AS Fisher was beating these off more
and more rats came at him until there
were half a hundred or more of them
| fighting him. He swung his pitchforl
right and left, tore the rats from his
neck and shoulders and kicked at those
at his feet until almost exhausted
With every blow of the pitchfork more
rats were killed and finally the other!

With blood trickling from his hands
and neck and his trousers and Goa
torn, Fisher went to the house. Hi.
