Pashion Notes.
Large brimined hats are features of
spring millinery.
The Princess of Wales blue is a new
shade that will be much worm this
spring.
In London tan color and green are
the favorite colors for spring dresses.
Sixty-five inch Chantilly lace in
empire design will be much sued for
summer dresses.
Crimping instead of fiuting is sued
by French modistes for the frills on
dresses that have aceordion plaited
skirts.
A features of the new wide-brimmed
straw hats is that the crown is usually
of one straw the brim of another.
Marguerite gauntlets the dcep.close
almost elbow cuffs may be either of
velvet or of stuff to match the dress
trimming.
Pique collars and cuffs are put on
children's gingham dresses and the
styles will likely extend to grown peo-
ple's gowns.
Lace has for the present been dis-
missed into the background and rib-
bons have assumed sway for evening
toilet decorations.
Sun umbiellas have short eight-
inch handles tipped with gold or silver
and are 'covered with black taffeta
silk.
If the embroidered collars and cuffs
of summer cotton gowns are made
separate it will save a deal of laundry
work as these accessories get soiled
long before the gown itself thinks of
needing washing.
Childien's suits for early spring
wear on the street are being made up
in a beautiful quality of cotton velvet
called velvetina. It is softer lighter
and more glossy than velvetine and
comes in desirable shades. Some
half tints and faded tones are m vogue
which are generally becoming.
A pretty fancy for plaid or striped
ginghams is to have the waist and mutton-leg
sleeves cut bias taking care
that the figure exactly matches in the
back. The fronts are gathered full
and drawn away from a plain vest and
thii-straight full skirt is hooked up on
the bias back.
White muslin graduating gowns will
have empire waists and sleeves with
lengthwise insertions running down
them; skirts five yards wide with deep
hems and several rows of insertion
above them and wide or narrow em-
pire sashes going once or twice about
the waist.
It is rumored that plain pure white
will not be so popular this summer as
the acru and creamy tints of embroid-
ered batiste which will be made up in
thp simplest styles and worn with the
empire scarf of figured silk passing
around the waist and tied in a loose
knot on one side about half way down
the plain skirt.
The genuine empire waist that is
especially adapted to thin summer tex-
tures has the fronts gathered on the'
shoulders and lapping surplice fashion
under a broad sash or soft folded
belt.

QUEER ARTILLERY.
What Oen. Crawford Found in the Army of
Don Carlos.
"Once for the sake of the excite
ment and diversion I joined Don Car-1
los at Los Arcos in the mountains of
Navarre and accompanied his troops
to Vienna on the Ebro and was a
witness to the attack and capture of
the place. They were a tatterdemalion
lot of soldiers and-no mistake cloth-
ed in every conceivable garment and
armed with every conceivable weapon
from a pitchfork to a broken scythe
strapped on a stick and from an
antiquated out-of-date armv musket to
the latest improved American breach-
loader. But nondescript and incon-
gruous as they were they had stout
hearts in their ill-nurtured bodies and
when put to it and spurred on by the
presence of their princes they would
fight a $1 gallantry and desperately as
only 1nvve men can. As for the
artillery they had none but that did
not appear to affect them one way or
the other. I stood by the side of Don
Carlos on a rustic bridge one dismal
and rainy morning as his devoted fol-
lowers filed by on the march and I
was much struck by seeing a number
of wagons in the line loaded down
with barrels. I asked Don Carlos
what they contained and he carelessly
answered -in his nonchalant manner
with just the trace of a smile on his
handsome face:
"They contain petroleum."
"And what earthly use" I asked
"have you for petroleum on the
march?"
"What use?" he answered "why
much use to be sure. That's our
artillery. We employ it to smoke out
our enemies from barricaded strong-
holds and I can assure you it's been
tried and found very effective in case a
conflagration is deemed desirable."
And then after a moment's pause and
a look at my face "Oh yes I can as-
sure you Gen. Crawford petroleum
makes very good artillery on a pinch
very good indeed."

court house in the city of Abilene

pose of electing a mayor and three

The Walter A. Wood single-apron
binding harvester the most attractive
machine made is sold by Fulwjler
Bros. The sihgle-apron was intro-
duced in 1887 and sold rapidly to the
fanners at the fall fairs who were not
disposed to take chances on getting
them in the spring something before
unknown in the binder market. 1 a-tf
