FEMINIM. FASHIONS. Some Frrsh. Addition to the Season'! Costumes. "Nearsilk" is the name of a new pretty Bilky fabric manufactured to take place of the genuine silk dress lining". Standing fraises and immensely high, full ruches will be replaced next sea son on dressy toilets by plaiting of lace that droop gracefully from a soft nar row folded stock of net, riblxm or chif fon. The "sunrny" dress skirts ere likely to prove very popular wear this sum mer, as fashion has set her unqualified approval upon, the style. It seems a pity, however, that the dominating' t'iste for immoderate decoration will rot leave even these new graceful mod els untrimmed. On the latest aocord-ion-plaited skirts no fewer than 13 plisse-frills are nrrang-ed'. t The so-called "art linens" manufac tured in Donegal are now made into stylish tailor costumes, plain, braided, finished with handsome white linea lace insertions, or facings and white vest of white duck, the skirt completed Ty bias rows of the duck in graduated widths. Vesting1 of heavier linen than that used for whole suits comes in bas ket weaving in red, green, ecru, cream, etc., with lines or dots of dark brown or black. The Galatea twills are now made dnto cycling-, boating and sea beach morning suits for women as well as children. Slender women continue to wear the round empire sash softly folded around the waist, the wide ribbon or scarf be ing very often carried around the figure. Fuller forms, however, wisely adopt t he girdle, shaped as flatly as possible; this in many cases rising high under the arms and narrowing to a point ut the waist in front. This is decidedly more becoming to any but slender figures than any of the belts of uniform width. Added to the great number of summer waists made in surplice fashion, the. folds loose and easy or drawn as close to the figure as possible, to suit indi vidual requirements, are plainly fitted waists with novel flcbu-liko arrange ments of lace and mull, of lace, net, and insertion, or of material matching the dress. On some of the French models the shawl points nre tied in a very large Imiw at about half the length of the waist; on others they are simply crossed ntthebeltand there fastened; and again, very long scarf ends are crossed on the figure, carried to the bock, and tied in a loose Ixjw. The Iwx-phiited Norfolk waist reap pears among costumes and toilets for spring and summer wear, and forms a part of utility gowns of tweed, shep herd's check, plain -and fancy mohair, cheviot, and serge, or well as the waist portion of linen, duck, pique, chambray, and daiutier toilets of taffeta striped and dotted summer satin, foulard gren adine, and very many more hot weat her textiles. On utility suits and also on not a few of the more dressy costumes, the new Norfolk waist is made with a deep square, yoke that fastens on the left shoulder, and the graduated plaits below the yoke are applied and not cut in one with tho waist.

Reasonable Fancies tn Ladles' Cos One of the most elegant mourning costumes of the season is made of Priestley silk warp Henrietta cloth The sl(irt, waist and 'sleeves are plain ami exquisitely fitted. Three crape ruflles, with headings, are set on at tho foot of the skirt; the waist has on up plied vest, of the crape, with a yoke at the hack. Over the shoulders are deep iiillles of the crape graduated to run Into the dai ts on either side of the vest. A high collar with a crape ruche and criiK! rulllcs nt the wrists complete the trimming, The bonnet is made of puffs of crape, with crimped fans at either side. These fans are spread uud wired up in wing fashion. A novelty waist is of old rose and green and gray brocade. The body is a modified bolero, pointed over a corse let on either side, and nt the back. Tho front is gathered! where it is drawn across the bust. There nre enormously wide revers, with sharp points. These extend out over tho sleeve tops and nlwo over the fronts of the sleeves Just above the bust; the sleeves nre shirred in full puffs ut. the tops and have fancy cults of tho material, w ith galloon and loops of ribbon. An exceedingly stylish costume is made of green, velvet. Tho Bkirt is plain, with the exception of a large box plait at one side of t he front. The waist lias tint plaita from the collar and shoul der seams to a ido corselet. There are three flounces on cither dleevu between the shoulders snd elbows; the sleeve llounces, plaits and euffsare edged with gold gimp. There is nothing in tho wny of use ful dresses that tho average womnn finds more profitable than a good cheviot or serge.

Specimens of a strange caterpillar discovered this spring on pear trees in Cambridge, Mass., are pronounced by Prof. Samuel llenshaw to be the "gold tail," or cuproetis chrysorrhoea, hither to unknown ns an inhabitant of this country, although it is found locally in England, and is "nlmndant in central and southern Europe." When numer ous, these caterpillars are very de structive, feeding on inch trees and plants us the tipple, pear, plum, haw thorn, biamble, elm, willow, beech, oak, hazelnut and hornbeam. At pres ent the invaders tn Massachusetts are Mid to bo confined to a limited area in Komcrville aud Cambridge. The first specimens seem to have made their appeurance a year ago, and thus far they have confined themselves to pear And apple trees. How they got across the ocean nobody apparently knows. It is suggested that tby vigorous uieus (urea they may be stumped out. Youth's Companion. i-jtAJ3t BOY CHOIRS. Tho Training of Lads to Slntf In Churob.es. Difficulties That Are Met with la the Work and the Rewards for Effi cient Services The Best - Choirs. It was Choirmaeter Le- Jeune, of old St. John's, m verick street, that first introduced into New York the scientific method of training toy choirs. The method was brought from Italy, and goes back no one knows how many centuries in the history of the Catholic church. That church, however, strange ly enough, haa not in New York made the training of boy choirs by this meth od an important adjunct to its music. St. Patrick's cathedral has, indeed, a urge boy choir recruited from the neighboring Catholic orphanage, but the best boy choirs of the city are found in Episcopal churches. Old St. John B no longer has its former handsome appropriation for the main' tenance of a choir, so that the prece dence in this matter has passed to other churches. Perhaps the best boy choir is at St. Agnes' chapel of Trinity par ish, in Ninety-third street, whose choir master, Mr. Stubbs, is a brother-in-law of the choirmaster at old St. Johns. Half a dozen other churches have nota ble boy choirs, end rectors insist more and more upon, having this kind of music; but the Italian method in ita extreme development, attracted little attention, in New York until within the past five or six years. There are a few notable boy choirs in suburban churches. Chicago, with her determina tion to have the biggest of everything, has a church with a boy choir of 50 members, not too well trained, though the great cathedral of St. Paul's, Lon don, has but 30 boys in ita choir. Most American choirmasters are content to train their boys by some other method than the Italian. It is little used in lloston, and almost not at all in. north-. ern and western cities. Few boy choirs have more than 20 memlxTH, and that number is jsuflicient for all ordinary purposes. The labor of fitting these boys for their work is enormous, and few boys are at their lmsfc for choir work during more than three or four years of their lives. The choir schools of London take promising boys of eight or nine from all over Eng land, provide them with all the ma terial needs of life, give them an ad mirable education in tfbeal music, and employ thicin in public church singing for nlMiut five years. Hoys in this coun try are seldom taken as pupils in choir singing before they are ten years of ngc, and it usually requires two years of hard work to fit an apt pupil for public singing. Most boys have to give up the profession at the age of 15, when the change of voice unfits them for further soprano singing. A few, after a rest of a few years, go on and develop into ex cellent men .singers, but most of the youngsters retire forever from the pro fession. Every choirmaster has a class of pro bationers from among whom he makes promotions to his choir as vncaaieies occur. Tliw probationer is first taught to lay nsiile utterly his ordinnry speak ing voice and to sing in n pure vocal tone. Only the true, lover of music is ndmilted to the class of probationers. After a year or two of simple music the probationer may 1m- promoted1 to a humble place In the choir. lie is then, perhaps, 12 years old, and tine object of the, choirmaster is to make him for the next tlirw years a nearly a perfect choir singer as he. can 1m made. Some of the boys serve without pay, but many lire jxaid, n, few pretty well. The ordi nary inconspicuous choir singer may earn from, two to ten dollars a month. The liest. of the lioys, who are, able to sing a solo with excellent effect, re ceive from $.100 to $ii()0 a year. A boy singer in New York (seldom earns more than the lairger sum. All of the boys, however, receive presents and pleasant little, attentions. They must not eateh cold in winter, so, if poor, they receive n gifte comfortable flannels, sound hlux's and warm, overeoate. If paid ill, they go with their choirmasters on lit tle excursions, perhaps to hear -good music, perhaps on a summer camping trip. Tho boys give In return for all this, not only such time as is required of them at t he regular church eerviee, birt also from three to five laborious re hearsals a week, with special extra ru hcarsals for special service. Their time during Ltnit is greatly occupied between service and rehearsals. There is much enthusiasm anionf choir boys for their profession, am many are ambitious to continue it ii some form after the approach of man hood has unfitted them for the partic ulur work for which they have beei trained. Choirmasters find that Oer man and English boys make good choi' singers, and that native American boyi of native imr.'ntage are usually unmiit id for the profession. The American lxy Is unlit led for the work, not only because he is often unmusical, but as well U'eauso he Is not docile, as ore boys of foreign' birth or parentage. The problem of disciplining and managing n boy choir increase with twh new nv tire boy admitted. N. Y, Suu. THE RICHEST MAN'S WIFE. ' Some A mining Truths About Marehlonrs 1.1 ami Her Home.

Mrs Rondeau, aged 20 yearn, wife of O. W. Rondeau, committed suicide about 2 o'clock on the morning of Oct. 12th, at a wood camp near Koscburg. The coroner's Jury found that she came to death by hanging herself by the neck to a tree, and no blame is attached to any one. The post-ofllce will be built on a portion of Wilson Avenue. The Salem council at its last meeting passed an ordinance vacating a portion of the avenue for a post-oltice site, aad author izing the mayor and recorder to deed the same to the government. This settles the matter of the location of the post-office. Next year will probably see work begun on the Dew building. The location is a proper one. On Sept. 27, 1897, one Herman Helm, a trusty at the Oregon State peultentary escaped. A short time since he was arrested by ex-city marshal Barry P. Mlnto ot Juneau, Alaska, and Warden Janes went up there and got tbe prisoner. Helm probably has his back In pickle by this time, it being customary with the understrappers at the pen. to use the lash on recaptured convicts. It is said that men who ply the lash for a time, get as bloodthirsty as bulldogs, welcome a fresh victim with feelings akin to delight. Salem Independent. Rev Paul Krueger, pastor of the United Brethern church at Uklah, and cousin of the Transvaal president, has fallen heir to a for tune in Germany left him by his deceased father. He received the news of his good for tune from August T, Dorn, an uncle who was in Los Angeles and had come to America to search out an heir to the property left by Ernest Kruger, who was killed in the Franco-Prussian war. The property consists of four coal mines and ten thousand marks. Mr. A. A. Osborne who was arrested last week on a charge of stealing two hounds belonging to Ralph Olbson of Polk County, was arraigned before Justice Johnson, of Salem, and examined on the charge. Mr. Osborne told a verv reason able story about the dogs, Baying that he bought them from a stranger on Sept. 22, and paid 12 50 each for them. His story was corob orated by a woman with whom he boarded at a hop yard. The Judge, however, bound Osborne over to the Circuit Court in the sum of fl.10 which was raised by the defendant. Salem Independent, The announcement is made of the death of W. W. Thayer, formerly Governor and Chief Justice of Oregon. He was in tne enjoyment of his usual good health until a few days before his death. The deceased was 72 years of age, and was a practicing attorney until attacked by his last illness. Oov. Thayer has along enjoyed the reputation of being an honest and honor able gentleman. He appears to have died with out an enemy. In politics, Oov. ihayer was a democrat. For many years he has wielded great influence in the state, and was always re garded with the deepest regard. His place will not be easily filled. BICYCLE. BORROWING. Neither Borrow Nor I.ciid Is the Rols for All. The ethics of bicycle borrowing are iH'ginning to agitate wheeling circles now 'that what is termed the legitimate riding season is at hand. Are cyclists expected to allow other people to ride their bicycles? This is the great ques tion. In discussing it a genial and well known wheelman, who has suffered per haps as much as anyone from the bor rowing hnbit, as practiced by other cyclists, said: "From the frequency with which re quests for the 'loan of your wheel' are made by some people one might be pardoned for .thinking that the sole mission in this world of the owner of a bicycle was to lend R to all his friendis anil noqu.'i.int.'incrs. Now, as a maitterof fact, no one has the least excuse for making such a request of the owner of a bicycle, and owners should firmly and emphatically refuse to comply with them when made. If a man or u wom nn ennnot afford to pay for the amuse ment of cycling they oit'rlit to forego it, I do not mean by this Mint if an unusual ly trustful and good-iKilinred friend of fers to lend a bicycle one is morally bound to refuse it, but I do mean that no one ought to be surprised or offended if a request for the loan of a wheel is re fused. "A bicycle is not a cheap, easily re placed article, such ns a baseball bat or a jsiir of skates. Against the borrowing of such things there, is no law, butyoair wheel is a different matter. No one, not even the most expert rider, can guaran tee it against tnishnp, even if the acci dent be only the puncture of a tire, Too often, however, the pitfalls w;hloh beset the most wary rider are far more serious. The dangers of crowded streets, where it seems the chronic bor rower of bicycles most doth like to ride, there is no need to enlarge upon. They are ao common that the spectacle of a wheel being extriented from beneath a beer wagon, a street ear or a cab, no longer attracts a crowd, even on F.road way. Hut even in hss frequented iroaUi a cyclist cannot always avoid danger, nor insure immunity for the machine he is riding. Accidents, however, undesir able as they are, nre of comparatively small moment so long as the damaged wheel is your own, but if it is the prop erty of some one else the case assumes different complexion. Few ople en joy the process of confessing that the borrowed machine has come to grief while in their hands, and I suspect that few even of the most good-natured of friends are not moved to regret their unselfishness when the mangled re mnins of their machine nre brougfat home. "Never lend your wheel, nnd sit down most aggressively on all who .make a request for a loan of It. These chronic, bicycle borrowers should be taught lessons." N. Y. Sun.

A practical woman of this town remarked the other day that she re id advertisements in news papers more closely than anything else ' And long ago," she said, "I quit buying of those who did not advertise. It seems to me that the merchants who advertise invite me to trade with them, while the one who does not adver tise impresses me with the idea that h3dosn't care enough for my trade to ask for it. Then, too, I know that the merchant who advertises has fresh goods, for the reason that he sells more." , Largo and t mall Books.
