THE FACE IX THE PANE
Weird Story of a Fated
!'cnnvlvnnia.
Family in
A mystery surrounds the home of
the late James Dougherty at Swiss
dale. Within four weeks the father
nncTthrea children have died. The
mother refuses to remain any longer
in the little home, says a Pittsburg
special to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Midway between Swiiwville and
llawkins stations on the Pennsyl
vania railroad, and on the street which
I leads towards the railroad tracks
' back of the public t-chool building,
' tJimis a little one-story frame
bouse. Surroutkling, this little
Miome is si ganien or probably half an

It was always the fathers deh.iht, re
turning from a hard day's lalor at the
Currie furnace, where' he was em

near the river bank. Taking a short
cut through the fields and over the
hills, he would take the children, one
at " time, place- them on his back aud
seconu cuiui was taicen iliwitua lever.
It lingered a few days, then
died. In just one week from
weens was a severe oiow to tne pa
rents. On Monday morninfr. the llth
of August, the husband departed for
his work at the Currie Fnnfacc early
in the morning. As he left his wife he

A JloiiSi'r Piece or Gmite.
Vinalhaven, Maine, claims to have
produced the largest stone ever
brought to light. The Bodwell
Granite company recently quarried a
shaft of granite 'which is the largest
piece of stone ever quarried anywhere,
and, if erected, will be the highest,
largest, and heaviest single piece of
solid stone standing, or that ever
stood, so far as any 'record cau .be
found. In height it considerably ex
ceeds any of the Egyplirn obelisks.
The tallest of these, which was brought
from Hellopolis to Alexandria by
Emperor Constantine, and afterward
taken to Borne, where it is still stand
ing, is 103 feet 7 inches high, while the
Vinalhaven shaft is 11.1 feet long, 10
feet square at the brse, and weighs
SoO tons. 1 1 is r uderstaod, says Stone,
that the company quarried this im
mense monolith of their own account,
not having nu order for anvthing of
the kind, and they sn-'trest that it
would be a lilting contribution from
I Maine for the monument to be erected
in honor of General Grant.
THE CANNIBAL BLACK BASS,
Bad Fish to Introduce
Oregon Waters,
ji
:. r. Ml'VKS TA LKS
t no ur j'isii.
In a letter from George F. Myers,
at Seattle, he says:
A number of parties here, uuac
qnainted with the habils and peculiar
ities of the black bass, requested that
a quantity oi me spawn do
i sent here
to stock tliOflakes in this vicini
icinity. As
soon a3 1 heard of it I went to see
them and prevailed upon them to
withdraw the request.
I put some 500,000 white fish in
these lakes and I don't want to see
these white fish cauuibalized by black
bass, and I advise that the bass be
kept ont of waters that are already
stocked with "gooTTfish.
It would bo-a great mistake to mit
oiacK uass in tne taices. wucn was
iu Washington City last February I
talked to Colonel McDonald, of "the
fish commission, on the snbject, and
he said it- would be very unwise
to put black bass in these lakes. They
are a savage,- carnivorous, caiftiibal
lush, for they will eat anj thing, even
one another. As to the habits of pick
erel. I do not kuow as much, but I
don't think these waters are cold
enough for them, for the best pickerel
fishing is in winter, by cuttiug holes
through the ice on tho Great lakes.
They sire a good game fish.
"Whitefish arc the kind to propa
gate in these lakes. They are a irood
, i ... . .,--,, ,,-.. . e-
food fish and live ueaceablv with
other kinds. It is true that salmon '
and trout are far superior to them in j
every respect, bnt the people who live
on the Great lakes like them, nnd ,
there is no reason whv their taste
should not be gratified wheu they"
come out here, so long as it can be
done without injuring our indigenous
fish. T met a man tho other day who
told me that he had caught a good
sized whitefish in Sawamish lake, so
that tho fry I put there a year ago
last February must bo doing well.
The taste for any particular kind
of fish i3 purely a result of cultivation,
as I can show yon by an instance.
Everybody admits that Columbia river
salmon are snperior lo those of the
Sound. ;md so strong is the preference
that in Portland the people will not
eat any Sound salmon. Well in 1879
I canned 3.200 cases of salmon at
Muckilteo and shipped them to San
Francisco, hoping to get 70 or 80 cents
a dozen for them. I could not sell
them there, but I sold 1,S00 cases
through a broker at Chicago at 1.10
on the cara at San Francisco, and
placed the remainder in New York at
S1.20. They were scattered all through
the south and southwest aud people
got such a taste for them that they
would not have Columbia riversalmon.
If the Columbia salmon had gone in
there first the people would probably
have shown the same preference for
them. It just depends upon which
gets in first.

HOW TO BE ATTIRED P0R COURT
The Most Elegant Costumes, Hats,
leathers, flowers and Nov
elties in Trimmings
Pretty jaunting costumes are made
of Avhite and blue plaided camel's hair
or French cashmere, made everywhere
bias of the goods.
Gray and undressed kid ties, with
gray Suede gloves and silk stockiujrs
of similar tint, accompany a great va
riety of rich summer costumes.
Fine lace straw passementeries are
used on Paris made toilets of black
net, lace nnd lace striped grenadine, in
the guise of girdles, sleeve nnd collar
points.
Beautiful toilets of white silk,
striped with rose or silver, are made
with full -skirts, full blouse vests of
lace, ond open Louis XI bodices, with
large lace collars and frills at the edge
r the I)en sleeves.
Toilets for elegant wear made of
costly India silk fabrics appear among
the late importations, showing the
neck of the bodice cut half low and
the transparent sleeves long and
j rather full. The skirts are undraped
, and very simple in style, but the gown
I entire is designed for special wear and
I for particular people.

most glove like flexibility. It is lined
with pale, corn-vellow satin, cut

satin edge.
lume-pieatett mines appear once
more upon the fronts of diaphanous
summer toilets at the front of the
dress skirt around the open neck of
the bodice and on the sleeves, and
often on the brim of the directoire

Very fine qualities of "faced' cloth
in shades of lawn, dragon green, heli
otrope, biscuit color, doe color and
ushermans blue will be used for
stylish coats for autumn. A few of
tho "special models, as thev are
termed, are much longer than the
familiar tailor jacket, but an opposite
extreme is reached in the vests, which
j look like braided bibs and are short-to
absurdity.
The all-round ruff is not nniversallv
becoimng. Sloping shoulders, slender
throats, surmounted by well-shaped
heads, and features of a certain cast
combine to make the ruff a becoming
article of dress. "Women who do not
possess the personal characteristic do
well to avoid a fashion that tends to
make a short neck look shorter, be
sides producing tho effect of unnatu
urally high shoulders.
Toby rallies, Josephine f raises, Med
ici collarettes, aud mosquetaire collars
are the rage; also capes and antique
ruffs, modifiied replicas of the huge
Elizabethan ruffs certainly, but still
ruffs, theso latter decorations, however,
appearing only upon grand summer
fete toilets of most expensive and elab-
orate character. Much narrower ruffs
of lace are everywhere worn, finding
great favor among hot weather gowns
where the collar is dispensed with en-
tirely.
The white pongee parasols have
proved a favorite style at the watering
places this year, and their delicate ciel,
rose-colored or mauve linings render
them dressy enough Tor any occasion.
Very elegant white parasols for fete
uses are made of net and lace ot a
kind that most wonderfully imitates
real point. These parasols are rose
lined and have mother-of-pearl han
dles. Silk muslin parasols in white
and pale summer tints are trimmed
with directoire f rilliugs of the material
and ribbon rosettes the shade ot the
parasol. Dotted Swiss muslin para
sols have dotted Swiss ruffles at the
edges, and pink, primrose, strawberry
or mauve silk linings and streamers.
The sweet-pea blossom tints are
highly popular in shot-silk toilets,"
either made wholly of this material,
or used for princesse slips under lace
or net dresses. In the former c.ise a
pinked or .fringed ruche of the silk
goes around the foot of tho round
skirt. To render the effect of this
niching still more billowy and feath
ery, a pleated ruche of the finest lace,
in black or white, is set into the hearts
of tho ruche of silk. This trimming is
also nsed in different colors and ma
terials, on tea gowns, hammock
dresses, morning gowns and handsome
wrappers of snrrah or China silk. A
dinner dress of Triauon satin m mauve
and white has ruches in rose platings
on the train and white silk petticoat,
these of white, pink and violet sweet
pea tints. White lace pleatings show
cverwhere among the rose ruchings.
Even garters are made of skeleton
elastic, with bows of gauze silk for hot
weather wear.
Although black shoes and stockings
are in good taste with almost any cos
tume, still it must be confessed that a
dainty foot dressing to match the
gown does give a chic air to any get
up. Low shoes of white undressed
kid are shown to be worn with all
white gewns: and when a wlute hat.

Accordion plaited tissue paper in
delicate tiuts is used for concealing
ugly red ilower pots containing blos
soming plants and vines. The covers
are so shaped that four poiuts are vis
ible, with corresponding hollows. Tho
shape is slipped over the flower pot at
the lower portion of the cover, and
owing to its power of expanding or
contracting, fits tho pot, largo or
small, alike. A baud of ribbon tied in
in a generous bow on one side is the
additional ornament, and serves also
to keep the cover iu possession. The
vandyked upper edge gives a fighter,
ainer appearance than a level edge

It is by no means unusual to see a
tiny tomato on a French bonnet, two
or three wee brown potatoes on a
broad-brimmed hat, currants or
strawberries imitating nature until
tuey iook quite good enough to eat,
used as trimmings upon chapeaux of
any shape or material. One of the
most artistic of tlie fruit-trimmed hats
is that ornamented with strawberries.
From the Lord Chamberlain's
office in St. James' palace was re
cently issned tho follewing: Ladies
attending her majesty's drawing
rooms must appear in full court dress
with trains and plumes, according to
regulation. Feathers must be worn
so that they can be clearly seen on
approaching her majesty, with
white veils or lappets; colored feathers
are inadmissible, but in deep mourn
ing black feathers may be worn.
White gloves only are to be worn, ex
cept in cases of mourning, when black
or gray gloves are admissible. High
court dress-the queen has been pleased
to permit that a high court dress of
silk, satin or velvet, according to the
following description, may be worn in
future at her majesty's drawing rooms
and other state ocQasions by ladies to
whom, infirmity or advanced age, the
present low court dress is inappropri
ate, viz: Bodice in fronr,
cut square or heart shape, which
may be filled in with white
only, either lined or transparent; at
the back, high or cut down three
quarters height. Sleeves to elbow,
either thick or transparent Trains,
gloves and feathers as usual. It is
necessary for ladies who wish to ap
pear in high court dress to obtain Her
Majesty's permission through the
Lord Chamberlain. This regulation
does not apply to ladies who have
already received Her Majesty permis
sion to wear high dress.
UK FOUGHT TO DIE.
James (ri!,-.liy's Determination to ComralJ;
Suicide.
.Tames Grigsby made an unsuccess
ful attempt to commit suicide by
leapiug from the Suspension bridge.
The leaping part was perfect, but
the killing part failed to materialize.
The passengers in a white-line car
and several pedestrians saw him as he
mounted the railing, and a cry of hor
ror went up wheu they saw him leap.
He did not steady himself a moment
when he reechedthe top of the bridge
railing, but just leaped forward, and
his body went flying through the air
at a wonderful speed.
When about thirty feet down his
hat flew off, and he tnrued over twice
before he reached the water. He
struck the water iu a half sitting po

the result. The watchman atShinkle's

trying to save himself, but apparently
wanted to drown. Tho watchman
tried to rescue him. and he made a
desperate fight against it. Ho
