and the proscription against blue which has now lasteJ so long continues. Bonnets have grown in stature, but not in loveliness, and are much overlaid with golden fruit and flowers. Gold lace in imitation of ordinary lace is largely used for the trimming of dresses and jackets. Buttons, which have since the advent of tailor-made suits been as modest as possible, now blossom again in such richness and splendor as has not been seen for some years. Carved wooden buttons of large size are the favorite decoration for the new jackets for spring wear.

These are called hunting coats when they are double breasted and without darts in the fronts. Bronze, brass and copper are em ployed in the manufacture of fashionable buttons for ladies' jackets as well as those of pearl and. ivory, rancy artistic buttons are from four to twelve dollars per dozen. These buttons form the only decoration on the most stylish jackets for this season, therefore the extravagance in buttons alone mav be excusable. A pretty bridal dress of silk surah has its three front widths covered with ftlaited ruffles, edged with- Oriental ace.

The train is cut very full and long, with its lower edges finished with two narrow knife plaitings, edged with narrow lace. From beneath the upper row of kilts in front fall two sashes, each the width of the surah; the lower edge of these has a low plaiting. On either side the sash is drawn back to fall into long, soft loops, to form the bouffante effect of an overskirt in the back. The corsage is a round waist cut to pro duce the effect of great length. It opens shaped at the throat, with folds of silk on either side for a finish.

The inside of the neck has a chemisette of plaited Oriental lace. The sleeves are cut to the elbow, where they terminate in a fall of lace. A dress somewhat more expensive than the one just described, yet rated among inexpensive wedding dresses, is made of cream colored satin. The front has three perpendicular panels of the material, upon which is set jabots of lace mingled with ribbons (satin or moire). The train is shirred in at the waist, and falls in plain, full folds its length.

The one dress in front begins on each side under the middle panel, shirred in at this point the depth of a finger's length. On either side, beneath the shirring, long loops and ends of satin ribbon fall to reach the hem. The corsage has a pointed front, open to receive a succession of narrow lace plaitings which follow the point. Di rectly to the left is fastened a bunch of flowers. The sleeves reach to the elbow and are made of lace and satin.

Dresses made of crepe de chine, must be very bouffante to look well. But tons for these dainty dresses can be small crochet ones, or plaited silk but tons. of the dresses are laced in the back Tulle veils are made very long and quite envelop the fagure. They are fastened on the head with fancy pins. Flowers are not so much worn in tha hair by brides at present; the orange blossoms are usually pinned about the corsage and skirt.

If the sleeves are quite short, gloves should, reach them, and should be pure white or cream, ac cording: to the tint of the dress. Y. Herald. Lezal Notice. In the Probate Court of Bourbon County.

Yet they have secured the postoffice in New York, the best office in the coun try; the collectorship of Portland, Or egon, and government advertising in Harper's Weekly, the Times and Post, all renegade republican sheets. All this for about 1100 majority in New York, the only place where they were able to help any. For some time past Gen.

A largely at tended meeting of stock men of Bent county, was held at "West Las Animas last Sunday, and a resolution was passed, notifying the Texas drivers that their stock shall not pass through. There are over 200,000 head of stock which would pass through this year, and would deprive the Colorado men of their winter grazing. It is a serious matter to the stock growers of western Kansas and eastern Colora do, and they are justifiable in taking measures to save pasturage for their own cattle during the winter. ALEXANDRIA. Time was, so history says, when Alexandria ranked a good second among American cities in foreign commerce.

Flags of all nations floated among the forests of masts at her docks. This is hard to believe jn the midst of present surroundings. Small boys with fishing poles seem to be about the only persons who have any use for the piers now, and the sign prominently displayed, "wharfage will be charged for ships landing here," is a gratuitous mockery of the present condition of things. Reverence for the past is the prominent trait of Alexandrians. The principal hotel is called the Brad-dock House.

In the heart of the city, with three and four-story buildings surrounding it, is the quaint old Carey mansion, with dormer windows. It is where Braddock stopped, and where he appointed "Washington his aide before starting upon the expedi tion which resulted so disastrously. The rooms in which the governors of Pennsylvania, New York, Massachu setts, Maryland and Virginia met with Braddock to plan the campaign, is preserved as it was in 1755. Here "Washington warned Braddock that he would make a great mistake if he undertook to carry out his warfare rgainst the Indians according to his civilized methods. Washington had the year before cast his first vote.

Braddock listened to the youth, but would not be convinced. He march ed on Fort Du Quesne according to his chosen tactics, and encountered overwhelming defeat If the visitor will take the trouble to hunt up the Tyler of the Masonic lodge, who will probably be found at his tin shop, he can obtain access to the Masonic lodge room, and gaze upon the identical emblems which George "Washington handled when a Master Mason. The institution to which Alexandria points with most pride is Christ church and the surrounding grave yard, which are enclosed with a high fence, and the walks and green sward within show evidence of good care, though the number of headstones is very few, not exceeding thirty all told. I Of Chicacro Have a Picnic, and Flaunt the Bed Flag Inflammatory Harangues. Two Thousand Enthusiasts in Attendance from the Several Organizations The Procession.

"Down With the Throne, the Altar and the Money bags," and Other Characteristic Mottoes Displayed. Chicago, June 8. The Central Labor Union which is composed of sev eral organizations of socialistic procliv ities, had picnic at Ogden's Grove yes terday. A procession was formed on Market Square in the morning, and after marching through the principal streets, they went to the Grove. In the proces sion was an unusual larze number of young men, especially among the An archists.

On numerous red flags and banners were Inscribed such character- islic mottoes as: "Down with the thron2, tne altar and the money bags Twenty- two red flas and a solitary United States nag were earned.

4- v.A ADUeS A Ziuratic Asylum Burned. Williamsburg, June 8. At twelve o'clock last night a fire broke out in the right wing of the center building of the Eastern Lunatic Asylum here, and before it could be got under control, everything was destroyed. The buildings burned comprise the original ones of the institu tion and were erected over one hundred years ago. There were 200 female patients in the burned buildings but all of them were rescued except one Miss Smith, of Spottsylvama County, who was burned to death.

The other w.ards contained nearly 300 male patients The total loss is estimated at from to insurance about 040,000. The fire is believed to have resulted from some trouble with the electric light wires, as it was first discovered where the wires entered the right wing of the building. A Deceased Embrzz er Restores tha Amount in His Will. Washington-, D.

June 8. In 1866 a clerk named Edmund Hastings in the New York Post-oftice embezzled S5.000. During his fleeing -trip to San Francisco he formed friendship with a telegraph operator, whose name is unknown. Hastings confessed, under the impulse of friendship, ani promised to reform if the secret was kept. A few years later he died at City.

The operator re ceived a fortune bv his will, nnder in structions to forward the embezzled amount to the Post-office Department. To-day the operator sent to the Treasur er the full amount of the embezzlement, wun a statement, out no names. Battle With a Dsspsrado. Indianapolis, June 8. This morning the police made a descent upon a den occupied by Frank Whiting, a noted local desperado, and several colored companions.

Whiting met them with revolver in hand, and sev eral shots were exchanged, only one oi which did execution, wounding Whiting In the arm. The entire party was captured and taken to prison. A large quan tity 01 stolen goods was recovered. It is Delieved these are the parties who are guilty of numerous acts of highway rob- pery recently mat nave startled the com munity. Greatly Exaggerated.

San Francisco, June 8. Grass hopper ravages in California are much less serious than at first supposed. The damages to grain by them are mostly confined to the southern portion of the San Joaquin Valley. The latest reports from there show that the first statements were greatly exaggerated. No correct esti mates can yet be made of the damage.

A young vineyard in the neighborhood of eacramento has been partially damaged, but bearing vines have escaped. The pests will not remain long in this State. I he trade winds, which prevail at this season of the year, does not seem to agree with them. D. W.

The bodies of McCurtin and Palmer were found in the dump, both shot through the head and their skulls crushed. Huntington's body was found at the bottom of the shaft. Two other men, whose names are unknown, were killed by the Apaches on the Opoto trail, about a week previous. A Railroad Enterprise. New York, June 8.

Among the railroad enterprises commenced this week Is that of the New England Southwestern Company, whose engineers are locating a survey from the Connecticut State line to Storm King. This road will greatly lessen the distance between points in New England and the coal fields of Pennsylvania. It is expected the road will receive State aid as a result of numerous petitions of business men throughout the State. The Washington Monument Badly Damaged by lightning' WAsmxGTOV, D. June 8.

An examination of the Washington Mono ruent this morning confirms the report that the cap-stone had been shat tered by lightning. A break was made by the lightning on the northeast corner of the cap-stone and four fragments tell to the ground, where they were found V-day, nearly forty feet from the base of the monument.

Parkersburg, W. June 8. The situation in Jackson County is becoming quite serious. Hundreds of families are on the verge of starvation, and unless aid is speedily extended by the remainder of the State or the outside world, the most disastrous results may be expected. Some 01 the more fortunate and influential people of the country and others, who believed the condition of the inhabitants exaggerated, have heretefore denied the reports that have from time to time been made public, hoping that things could be tided over till a new crop could be raised.

but now much alarm prevails and public meetings are beingheldinall the villages, and the local papers are printing appeals for aid. Last week meetings were held at White Pine and New Kentnck, at which scores of citizens, representing res pective neighborhoods, testified as to the extent of the famine, many pitiful stories being told. Hiram Cobb, owner of a mill, said people would come at the rate of a dozen a day, after walking great dis tances, begging for a pint or a quart of meal, and sometimes bringing half a peck of grain or a few ears of corn to be ground. He knew men who had gone for five days without food, and he himself would soon be a suf ferer. J.

H. Garrett said his neighbors were actually starving. John Smith, County Assessor, said that to his knowl edge 300 families were in danger of starv ing at New Ken tuck. An appeal for aid was signed bv representatives of 100 families. These are but specimen stories.

One family is said to have subsisted for five days on lettuce, and when found were nearly dead. Arrested For Arson. Chicago, June 8. Late last night there was a mercurial alarm of fire from the Mercantile Block, 118 La Salle street. The insurance patrol discovered the flames in the rear of the basement of the place, and back of a cigar store.

The material on fire was a lot of shavings and rubbish, and was about two feet distant from a barrel of kerosene oil. ft was at ODCe apparent that the blaze was a case of arson and a thorough examination ol the premises was instituted. On reaching a closet near the place of the fire, the door was found locked. This, at that hour, and with no one in the store, was suspicious. The door was quickly burst open and a man found crouched in the corner.

-He was hauled out, and gave his name as Oliver Peterson, a Swede, forty years of age. Some weeks ago there was a mercurial alarm from the same number on La Salle street, and on reaching there the firemen found a similar blaze to that of last night, and of like materials. At the same time a man was also seen running out of the building, and the supposition now is that he was probably Peterson, who is now locked up at the Harrison Street Station. Formulated Plan. Laredo, June 8.

It is learned here from officials connected with the Mexican National Railway that Presi dent Palmer, as the result of his re cent trip to the City of Mexico and along the line of the Mexican National, has finally formulated and brought forward a feasible plan for obtaining sufficient money to complete this great road, and save its valuable franchises from forfeiture. His plan is to get the consent of the first mortgage bond holders for the issuance of a new loan of $10,000,000. It is stated that a majority 01 tnese oonanoiaers nave already con sented to the scheme, but the minority are displaying much bitter and unrea sonable oppositioa, so as to seriously mperil the completion of the road. If President Palmer finally succeeds iu getting this new loan upon the market under such favorable conditions, it will be taken in the City of Mexico, ami at Saltillo, Monterey and Laredo.
