built himself the brick residence
on Douglas avenue south Of the
Episcopal church, nowned by
Mr.. Swanson and occupied by his
family. When steamboating

Captain Marsh sold his property
to John Fogerty and moved to St.
Louis. Old friends will be sorry
to hear Mrs. Marsh died about a
year ago, but the family, reared
here, are all we'll and thriving. 1t
was the pleasure of this Office a
few years since to greet one Of
Captain Marsh's sons, as following
dear old dad" he tied up his boat
here for brief visit while on his
way up river.
Captain Grant Marsh was one Of
the most popular men on the river,
owing to his attractive personality,
goodness of heart and many other
things that endeared him to all.
When the great food of 1881, ear
ly in April, broke upon this coun-
try, carrying desolation all along
the river. Captain Marsh, with
such men as Captain Lavender, s.
K. FELTON,, J. H. Moulton, Erick
Iverson, G. II. Bates, VIM. Gigge
and Captain Noble, put crews to
work and did heroic work in life
saving in those terrible days.
When the word came from Meek
ling of the awful conditions there
D. M. Hinman went to Captain
Marsh and offered him any sum
he would name to rescue the stric-
ken people, the river man replied
that it was nota question Of money
but saving lives, and that if he
could get three or four stout young
men he would make the attempt.
He got three, among them man
other are still living around Meek
ling. The devoted band started
early in the morning and worked
all day, battling with the raging
ice, and as night fell they were on
ly half way to submerged Meek
ling. A big stout steamboat yawl
was being used, and Captain Marsh

times. Just now they are making ar
rangemenJs for the meeting Of the

Clarendon has always been noted for

The recent disastrous fire put the
fire department out OF doors, but the
city council are planning to build

$1,000 for Amarillo Packing House

paw" W. hi""ili'O I"hllP HOUSE,
Through the interest manifested in
the packing house question in a let
ter sent by Curry & Dohoney to Tom
Carson, owner Of the Carson build
ing on Polk street, the latter cabled
his subscription OF $1,000 to the pro-
ject from London, England.
Mayor Mars is highly elated over
this and says III all the property
owners and non-residents would take
the Same interest as readily as did
Mr., Carson, Amarillo would have alb
solutely no trouble in securing her
packing house.
The Chamber OF Commerce,
through its secretary, Lon y. Mars,
does not attempt to say who is able
financially TO take stock in this en-
terprse, but it does say and insist
upon 1t that all people who are H.
nsnclally able to take stock should
90 40, ana those unable so to do
should lend their moral assistance
and speak good word for the cause
whenever opportunity presented IT,
self The laboring classes and bus
mess men have been insisting that
this enterprise be built out Of Anna
rillo material, as far as practicable,
utilizing Amarillo lumber, brick and
stone, and have the work executed
by Amarillo mechanics and it was
with regret that the Chamber OF
Commerce had to ray of those people
that some OF them had given abso-
Iutely no assistance to the project
and others had contributed very lit
tie.

The seml-princess effect Is ideal
for the use OF the soft summer ms
terials, the best effects being obtain
ed when the waist and skirt are join
ed with a belt OF the trimming ma
terlal. The skirt is tucked in groups
and Joined to the blouse. The belt
may be In round style or raised In
the back in Empire effect. The round
yoke can be made OF all-oyer lace
or Of the dress material embroid-
cred or of rows inserting joined to-
gether. Five cores are used in the
skirt and two wide tucks are made
above the hem. The lower edge
measures about three yards and seven
Fights.
This dress can be attraCtiWJy
made in a lightweight, fine cling
ham, Persian lawn or dimity, batiste,
cotton wolfe, China silk, messaline or
rajah.
The different varieties OF Valen-
ciennes lace are far and away the
most suitable and babyish for these
frocks, but there have been some
pretty models shown this season
trimmed with the finest of Cluny
and, at least for novelty, this sug-
gestion is not to be ignored, It wash
es perfectly and wears forever
The light colored plaids and checks
are usually trimmed simply with
bands Of the plain color which pre-
dominates, these bands often being
outlined by a single row Of narrow
white soutache, 1t is also a pretty
fancy to braid these plain coored
bands at intervals with disks made
Of the closely coiled braid.
But 1t would be a mistake not to
mention the more practical frocks OF
linen, percale, gelatea and the diff
ferent grades of Bingham, which this
season are as delightful to the eye
as they are abundant in number.
There is a special tendency just now
to bring into prominence the ging-
hams. Most OF the frocks Of this
style are designed to wear with a
white guimpe which also increases
the light appearance, While such
dresses are dark enough to meet the
requirements of practcality, they are
by no means somber in effect, for
these new madras gnghams have a
brightness and luster about them
which is eminently childish. Some
of the loveliest of the pastel color.

terial, plaided with cross checkings

4 NEW YORK FASHION LETTER
++&+J
BY Catherine Mann-Payzant.

BY Catherine Mann-Payzant.
New York, July 23.-The design
ers have not forgotten the little folks
in their creation of new modes.
While clothes for little girls follow
the fashions set for their elders,
there is a marked reaction toward
simplicity as against the elaborate
styles seen for some seasons back.
Daintiness Is the keynote OF all chill
dren's designs, and the favorite types
OF finish are hand-run tucks, insets
of fine lace or sprays Of hand en-
broidery, but the latter is used in
small quantities and in small and
neat designs. A finish of pale pink
and blue lawn bands on white is an
effective design much favored at
present.
Attractive little frocks for girls
are made from nainsook, batiste or
Swiss muslin, trimmed with edgings
sewed together in the middle and APP
piled as a band trimming. These
bands may pass over the shoulders
as brettelles and be connected by
the trimmings at yoke depths, both
in front and back.
The present day fashions Of the
grown-up people have a perceptible
influence on the frocks Of the chill
dren, and this is true not only in
the cut Of the little garments but in
their trimmings and in the materials
employed. Thus in the frocks Of
this season a growing tendency to
longer lines and princess effects Is
noticed--an echo from the fashion
able world, which, though remote, is
quite thing to be reckoned with in
selecting the outfit for the little sum-
mer girl OF this year. Almost all OF
the expensive lingerie frocks Of swiss,
batiste and fine nainsook are along
modified princess lines, and even
where the little frock is made in two
pieces, as is often the case, the in
servings and trills are SO cleverly
matched on both portions of the dress
that a look of continuity is the re-
suit.
While plain materials ara always
first choice for really dainty chill
dren's frocks. there are now shown
some delightful little dresses of en-
broidered swiss in small design which
are more unusual and also more
childish than the well known dot
with which swiss muslin always
seems to be closely associated. There
is also a decided interest among
some OF the manufacturers OF chill
dren's frocks to utilize the fine cross
bar handkerchief linen in their con-
structon. The fact that the fancy
white fabrics are lovelier than usual
this season perhaps accounts in great
measure for the importance they
have assumed in connection
with children's apparel.
It Is a fad with some fastidious
women to dress their children, both
boys and girls, entirely in white dur.
ing the summer, white linen, duck or
pique for boys tub suits; white serge
for his wool suits. The idea is
charming one, but impracticable, UNI
less money is OF no consequence, for
white, to be attractive, must be i'm
maculate white, and demands ire
mendous supply OF suits, constant
changing and an indefatigable laun-
dress. Even the mothers with the
white fad put their tiny white-clad
ladies into overall or jumpers for
rough play hours, and in this way the
white suits are spared much.
