Corner Front and Centre Streets. wmi COPTKIOHT. 1805. They were walking together on on<s of the fashionable promenades. Ther* were two children in front of them, so that it wan not posible to nee the lowei part of their attire. Both wore short English top coats, box-shaped nn<| double breasted, above which glistened a snowy shirt bosom with collar and necktie. Both wore derby hats ovei hair that was parted in the middle. On< carried a cane, and the other? Well, the children turned aside at that mo ment and revealed the fact that the other wore petticoats. Up to this moment the couple looked like a pair of English dudes, out for n promenade on the boulevard, and on* trembled to think what confusioT] might arise if bloomers or "knickers" should Anally gain the day, and g<i walking as well as pedalling about the streets. A long time ago, when we "Greek let ter girls" were wont to give the "fresh ies" sisterly instruction in the myster ies of lancers and other fancy dances, we were in the habit of tying a ribbon or a handkerchief on the sleeve of her who took the "gentleman's part" in the dance. What If we should have to re sort to such a device in order to avert the confusion arising from a too gen eral adoption of the bloomer! The tailor-made gown, lfbwever, in stead of contributing to bring about any such result, throws its weight on the conservative side of the question. Its skirts are just as wide and have just as many godets as the fluffiest kind of a fancy dress, and so long as the six yard skirt remains in favor, bloomers will continue to tcke at least a bic/clc seat. TWO TAILOR ©OWNS. The dress materials this year are not of the smooth kind so dear to the lady's tailor, but that does not hurt the tail or's business even if it does grate upon his artistic feelings, lie sets himself to work to devise a new fashion in hii line of business. The rough goods makes up better in loose-fitting gowns than in the glovelike garments that arc made of lady's cloth. A suit of boucle with a box jacket has therefore been evolved as the cor rect street gown of the season. The box jacket may be a little longer than the coats that do not match the dress, but the four large buttons at the corner are as fashionable on the jackets of suits as they are on the outside coats. For very handsome street dresses, to be worn without wraps, the smooth cloth is still preferred. The dull blue shade is a favorite in this kind of ma terial, especially in combination with white. One of the illustrations shows a tailor gown of this description made of dull blue and white broadcloth, with buttons and mink fur as trimming. The dress is cut princesse style—a fa vorite with ladies' tailors—and is trimmed around the bottom with straps of white running up at different lengths, and finished with a fancy but ton. There is a mink collar around the neck, below which is a large yokelike collar of white broadcloth, trimmed with buttons and mink edges. Two strips of white outline the figure down the front, reaching seven or eight inches below the waist. A round dull blue hat with a white band and black feathers completes a costume that is decidedly striking. Another street dress that shows an attempt to introduce the basque is of light tan material, combined with brown velvet. The skirt is trimmed with strips of brown ribbon of vary ing lengths—a trimming which is very fashionable, by the way. The bodice, besides its ripple basque, lias a bolero jf fancy embroidered material, with brown velvet front and Bleeves. A tan Mpine hat trimmed with loops of brown velvet is worn with this dress, ilso ecru gloves witjj brown stitching. Speaking of gloves suggests the fact that there are some very important changes to be noted in handwear this season. The most fashionable glove ia the one with two clasps—not buttons, for buttons are out of date, except on evening gloves. The clasps are the kind seen on men's gloves. Perhaps this is one of the marks of the new woman's progreßsiveness. A glove that must be buttoned and sometimes involves mnsculine assistance is a sort of badge of dependence. Those large buttons were a step in the same direc tion, and were convenient in many ways. I know of one young woman who cut the buttons off her worn-out glove and sewed them on her dress to replace some that had been lost. Gloves in two tints are correct. White gloves, as well as ecru and other light tints, have black stitching. Black gloves are Rtitclied with white or lav ender. There is a style of glove that is mado up of two shades of kid. For in stance, a black glove has white kid be tween the Angers with white stitching to match, or lavender kid with lavender stitching. Green gloves are fashionable, bright verdure green as well as the sage tint. A sort of reddish purple is also bidding for favor. But the light yellows end pearl grays are preferred before any tint. The Rtitcliing on the back is usu ally very heavy. Women like heavy stitching because it mnkes the hand appear small. "The child is father to the man." Bo says an old proverb, with reference to boys, but it really applies better to the other sex, especially in matters pertain ing to dress. Dress a small girl well and she becomes an incipient heart breaker whether she has natural beau ty or not. She forms the habit of car rying her clothes well, without which no woman can hope to be attractive. Good clothes have their effect upon the character quite as much as good looks. Any pretty woman will tell you that she can walk hotter and talk better when she is well dressed. The pretty frocks and coata which can be bought cheap are an Indication that customers have turned their atten tion to the small girl. A very pretty red coat with broad rib bon-trimmed collar can be bought for five dollars. Boucle coats trimmed with black Llama are also cheap. A blue ai>d brown boucle coat with brown velvet trimmings and black Llama makes a pretty every-day wrap for a six-year-old miss. Home of the finer coats are trimmed with white Thibet. All children's coats have broad col lars. Some of the French coats turn back all the way down the front with an inserted vest between. One of those in the illustration has a plaiting around the edge of the broud collar that ex tends down the fronts Gimp loops at tached to fancy buttons fasten the coat in front. Another stylish coat is double-breast ed, fastening with large buttons. Above the broad collar of the material is one of astrakhan, which also forms the cap. It is a very simple matter to make a child's coat, and much money can be saved thereby. A very handsome piece of boucle can be purchased for $2.60 a yard, and one yard and a half is suffi cient for a coat for a three-year-old girl. With a yard of Thibet at two dol lars a yard, to trim the edge of the col lar, such a coat can be made very hand some for less than six dollars. It is not absolutely necessary to line them, as they are heavy enough without. The addition of a silk lining of course in creases the expense, but even then the small girl's coat need not cost ten dol lars. ALICE AMORY. Parreb Idy a Joke. One of Henry Clay's most formidable Kentucky opponents was John Pope, a one-armed mun, for many years a mem ber of congress, and at one time United States senator. He was once running against Mr. Clay in the Lexington dis trict, and the contest was close and ex citing. As election day approached, Mr. Clay heard that an Irishman in Lexing ton, who has always been one of his sup porters, had announced his purpose to vote for Mr. Pope. Mr. Clay went to see him, and inquired the reason. "Faith, Mr. Clay," said the man, "an' I've con cluded to vote for the man who has only one arm to thrust into the treasury."— Youth's Companion.

WlKh Tier Violin, n Florida Girl Draws Serpents from Their Den. With music drawn from her violin Miss Ruth Drown, a handsome girl of Lake City, Fla., has succeeded in charm ing fifty rattlesnakes, whose den is near her home. Miss Drown isthedaughterof wealthy parents, who have a magnificent home on the Suwannee river, in the western portion of the county. She is a skilled violinist and is accustomed to wander over her father's estate, taking her in strument with her. Recently it has 'been noticed that Ruth would go to n big rock near the river and remain for hours. The other afternoon ns Mr. Brown was riding over his estate he passed CHARMED BY TUB MUSIC. near the rock and heard weird musio coming from Ruth's violin. A wonder ful sight greeted him. Seated on the rock was Ruth, plac ing her violin,while about her were probably fifty rattle snakes, some of them monsters, and all seemingly charmed by the music. Wilder and wilder grew the music, and the snakes tumbled over each other in reptilian ecstasy. Then the music ehanged to tones that carried with them an order to retreat, and the rat tlers gradually moved from the rocks und disappeared in their den. Ruth said that for six months she had been visiting the rock, and at every visit there occurred such a scene os had been witnessed by her father. She said that about the same hour every evening she felt such a longing to visit the rock that she coukl not resist. When urged to cease vistttng the rock Ruth said she would rather die than desert the snakes. CHAMPION BAT-KILLER. Henry Cook, of I.onlsvlllo, Unm a Whip si ml Makes Big Bags. Only "night owls" are treated to the scientific exhibition of but-killing that goes on every morning 011 Jefferson street, between Fourth ami Fifth, at Louisville. For the lust month bats, at tracted in large numbers by the lights, have been fluttering about the doors of the all-night restaurant near the cor ner of Fourth. From the first Henry Cook has taken delight in eutching these grewsome animals ns they flew. When they began to appear he used a broom, secured from the restaurant, and ns they darted toward him hi knocked them down in considerable numbers. His record for one night was six. He began to think that he was taking an undue advantage of the an imals, so he started to practice with the long-lashed whip used by the hack drivers who stop in front of the res taurant. For awhile he struck at the bats aim lessly, and only succeeded in bagging game once in a long while. When he AURAIIT HE KILLS ALMOST EVERY BAT. . learned to manipulate the whip scien tifically he struck with the cracker. He lias now become so expert that he rarely misses a bat. Ills eye is so keen and his hand so quick that he is able to follow the bat from the time he sees it and measures the distance so that the whip lash will just reach. He kills almost every bat he strikes, and those he does not kill he disables so that they full to the ground and are food for the cat. Every morning be tween ono and four o'clock he has an interested crowd of spectators about him. Marrlrd the Wrong Couple. In the county clerk's office at Lancas ter, Ky., the other day a couple from the county obtained a license to marry, and Rev. C. M. Reed was called in to perform the ceremony. Another couple accompanied the bride and groom as attendants to the wedding. The min ister made a mistake and married tho wrong couple. Seeing his mistake, he called them back and married the right ones. The minister says that the brides maid and best man answered the ques tions, and 110 thought them the Inter ested persons.

KILLED AS A WITCH. Terrible Crime Perpetrated by an Alaska Medicine Man. Ahf Ghat, a Kake Brave, Plunges a Knife Into 11 1h Klnter'H Heart Because He Thought Her the Cause of Ills Illness. That "murder will out" is well illus trated in the case of the Kake Indian named Ahf Ghat, who in now a prisoner at Sitka, and whose case v. ill be tried by Judge Truitt nt that oiliciars last term of court before retirement. Ahf Ghat was apprehended six weeks ago by Deputy Marshal Harry Wallace, of Wrangle, for implication in the mur der of two traders on Kolce island about three months ago. The Indian was well known to the authorities through his ability to stow away more whisky than any other member of the tribe, and also on account of his fighting proclivities when drunk. On uceount of past deeds of lawlessness officers had long been looking for him, but had only recently become aware of graver crimes the Indian had committed other than those with which he had unready been charged. Almost a year ago a young Kake girl was cruelly murdered, after being starved and beaten until death came as relief. It was several months after ward before it became known, and then it was an impossibility to locate the wretches who were responsible for the infamous crime. A short time ago one of the Kakes in the Sitka prison upon seeing a new prisoner arrive, and with whom he was apparently nt enmity, told the guards the tale of horror. About ten months ago Ahf Ghat had been taken so ill that a medicine man was called. When the sick man's fam ily had piled up a stack of twenty blankets the Shaman condescended to begin his weird incantations. At the conclusion of the performance he in formed the patient that he was a very sick man, and that his sister was the cause of it, declaring her to be a witch. The Kakes have 110 religious belief whatever, but in regard to witchcraft their ideas are the same as those of many other Alaskan tribes. They be lieve an enemy can by means of spells and charms work out evils, shape ' ' "AN 818 FOB AN BYE." destinies, and finally destroy those they wish to, which belief is taught and en couraged by the medicine men of the tribe. If anyone is sick lie, upon propitiation, at once declares some per son to be the cause, and that, person must either confess himself n witch and promise to cense working injury upou the patient or he is put to death. The Indians are still in a state of utter bar barism, and hold to the old belief: 4 An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth tooth." Upon the sister being charged with sorcery she was at once brought before her brother and the Shaman. She wilci- I 3' protested her innocence, and upon her adhering to it she was bound and severely benten. Several days passed, during which she was given 110 food, und only enough water to moisten her pun-lied lips. Seeing her determined not to acknowledge herself a witch and responsible for liis illness, Ahf Ghat struggled from the pile of skins which had constituted Ills bed and plunged his knife into the heart of his helpless victim. The Kakes know no fear, even of death. Neither *do they understand such feeling as remorse. They have al ways remained on their island unmo lested, making their own laws and ad ministering them according to their own ideas of justice. If the murderers now incarcerated in Sitka are hanged they freely say they will kill the same number of white men before they con sider things even. That this lust ad dition to the imprisoned Kake contin gent will stretch hemp there can be 110 doubt, providing he doesn't die by his own hand in the meantime. Despite nil official denials, the prac tice of the "medicine art" prevails throughout all Alaska, and scores of unfortunate natives have, even in the short space of one year, suffered hideous deaths upon the decree cf the tnedicine man that they had practiced sorcery. With the force nt tbeir disposal the white authorities cannot enforce the law as it should be--to te"h the native population the lesson they must some time learn. The hope of the entire ter ritory is now fastened upon the estab lishment of an American army post in the far north. With soldiers at hand such murders as those to Ahf Ghat's ac count would be less frequent. flow Georgia Glrla Find llunhanda. John 11.
