Most costumes, dressy and others, show a combination of two materials if not two colors, and sometimes both. The only costume that makes exception is the regular tailor-made gown, and often thisdeparts from its proper sphere and grows more dressy with silk or vel- vet trimming. __ A tailor-made gown is much prettier in the previous simplicity, as it gives that natty appearance so much required by a street costume. Among the fashionable combinations for spring checked and fancy taffetas will appear on plain and mixed woolen goods, after the style so prominent in Paris late last summer. “Simple gowns of brown serge will also be seen a great deal in the early spring. A few handsome and richly colored plaids are shown. Also lustrous goods will be in fashion.

Handsome trans- parent fast colors are among them Some tailor-made costumes have short capes of the same material for spring wear. Modified jackets on the Eton order, are pr dicted for spring and summer costumes with pointed fronts and sailor collar. The round wa‘st, full in effect, and often contrasting with the sleeves and skirt, will be the popular styles. The width of dress skirts is 6 to 8 yards, but it can hardly stand in popu- larity very long. e woman ha- hers made moderately wide, about five yards.

The newest ideas in waist: is the looseness in front, or box plait effect. Of the fashion magazines published in America, none give such value for the money as ‘oilettes, the March edi- tion of jwhich is now to hand. This number consists of 32 pages of elegant half-tone engravings, which furnish 190 illustrations of the new spring styles that the ‘month will see in use. The designs are not only original, having ; been specially prepared for this maga- | zine by the best artists, but they are the | most approved and the best from the ; work-rooms of Worth, Felix, Pingat, | Mayer. Vilet, Hounet and other distin- ' guished French modistes, who deter- | mine the fashions of the world. Among i its illustrations are spring toilettes in| great variety, children’s costumes (rep- | resented vy 40 models), corsages; ball | reception, at-home, and evening dresses; ; mourning toilets, bridal costumes, tea gowns, ete. A striking feature of this | number are the elegant sleeves, which | betoken immense improvement in this | department of dressmaking As a magazine of fashion for home use, there | is none the equal of Toilettes. CONAN DOYLE ON AMERICA Conan Doyle’s impressions of the lit- erary phases of American life are to be continued in an article to appear in the next issue of The Ladies’ Home Jour- nal. The novel was originally intended to be the novelist’s impressions of American women, but this plan was altered and the article to be printed in the gournal will give Dr. Doyle’s ideas | of “Literary Aspects of America.”’ WEDDED IN SPITE OF THEM. @ Runaway Marriage to Which the Par- ents Offered Fruitiess Opposition, Pocomoke City, Md., Jan. 2. -- The Parker Hotel was the scene of.a ro- mantic marriage yesterday.

Fearful Storms Along the British and French Coasts. 3 London, Jan. 2.—Fearful storms are reported from all parts of the British and French coasts. It is estimated that at least fifty lives have been lost. The Ramsgate (Kent) lifeboat crew put to sea at midnight and returned at noon with the crew of the schooner Union, wrecked on the Goodwin Sands. It is regarded as certain that the col- lier Napoli and the fishing steamer Nordsee both foundered off the Dutch coast on Saturday. There were twen- ty-five persons on both vessels, and there is hardly a doubt that all of them were drowned. A number of fishing boats which left Cherbourg on Satur- day have also been lost, and probably their crews, The Girl Was Savea. New Brunswick, Jan. 2.—While skating on the Raritan River yester- day afternoon, opposite this city, Mamie Farrington, aged fifteen, a daughter of Patrick Farrington, of No. 120 Burnet street, and Charles Cros- sin, aged nineteen, of No. 11 Hassart street, narrowly escaped drowning. The young couple skated into an air hole. Young Crossin got out quickly, but before he could turn to assist his companion, James Payton, of No. 267 Redmond street, plunged into the icy water, and, assisted by Richard Har- denbergh, jr., rescued Miss Farring- ton. She was taken to Klein’s restau: rant in Albany street, and soon recoy- ered from the shock attending her plunge into the cold stream. Another Hotel Holocaust. Lancaster, Ky., Jan. 2.—The Miller Hotel was burned yesterday. There were four persons in the building at the time—Edward A. Pascoe and wife, his baby, about two years of age, and his mother-in-law, Mrs. Masters. The wife only escaped. No other persons were in the hotel, as Pascoe had made all arrangements to give it up. The fire is believed to have been of incen- diary origin. A Street Car Accident. Brooklyn, N. Y., Jan. 2.—Six per- sons were injured in a street car acci- dent in Brooklyn yesterday. A car of the Franklin avenue line was run into and wrecked by a car of the Fulton street line. The injured are William Purblo, John Salker, Charles W.

St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 2—A special to the Globe-Democrat from the City of Mexico says that Sunday night an os- cilliatory earthquake shock was felt in that city and other parts of the valley of Mexico.

London, Dec. 31.—The British bark Osseo was wrecked in a gale at Holy- head yesterday morning, and with her perished her entire crew of twenty-six men. The Osseo was driven ashore back of the Holyhead breakwater. Her signals of distress were first heard by the coast guard about 4 o’clock in the morning. At that time it was pitch dark, and great waves were washing over the breakwater. In spite of the danger of being washed into the sea, the guard proceeded along the break- water, and, having rigged up the rock- et apparatus, began firing life lines in the direction of the wreck. The faint light of the rockets soon disclosed the fact that the vessel had broken in two amidships, and that the main mast had fallen, crushing the lives out of several of the crew. A few survivors could be seen clinging to each half of the vessel, and their piteous cries for help could be heard above the roar of the storm. After many failures the coast guard succeeded in firing a line over the wreck, but by that timeall on board had perished. A lifeboat vainly tried again and again to ap- proach the wreck. Not a vestige of the bark could be seen to-day, and there is no prospect of any salvage. The Osseo was a bark of 1,399 tons. She arrived at Falmouth on December 15 from Taltal, and had been ordered to Anderson. Reports of stormy weather continue to be received from all parts of Europe. Numerous small wrecks and casualties are reported in Great Britain and Ireland. Many lives were saved by lifeboats. A severé gale is blowing on the Baltic, and navigation is suspended at Copenhagen. PARKHURST DISSATISFIED. An Understanding Between Lexow and Supt. Byrnes. New York, Dec. 31.—In an interview with a Tribune reporter, Dr, Park- hurst was asked: “Have you an idea from reading the testimony of Supt. Byrnes that there was a previous un- derstanding between the Superinten- dent and the Lexow Committee?” He replied: “There is not the slightest doubt about it. In fact, I am free to say that I knew some time ago that there was an understanding between the committee and Mr. Byrnes. I am not prepared to say that Mr. Goff had any knowledge of it, but the under- standing involved the manner in which Mr. Byrnes was to be treated. Just what the understanding was I decline to state, but'I knew that Byrnes was not to be badly damaged. I first made up my mind that there was an under- standing when I heard that Byrnes was supplying the committee with in- formation. My sentiments in regard to Mr. Byrnes are the same now as they always have been. I have been fighting Mr. Byrnes three years, and he has been fighting us, and I am firm- ly of the conviction that if I care for the safety of our organization I can- not afford to become allied with the enemy in any way, shape or manner. I look upon Supt. Byrnes as a consti- uent part of a system that is corrupt, and for that reason I do not believe it te wise to have any dealings with m,”” A Chinaman Suicides. Watertown, N. Y., Dec. 31. — Lee Ling, a Chinese, aged eighteen, who had been a prisoner in the county jail here since November 19 on a charge of assault, committed suicide in his cell yesterday afternoon by hanging. On November 19 Ling entered a laundry, of which his consin, Charles Jim, is proprietor, and demanded $200, say- ing he wanted to go back to China, Jim refused to give him the money, and Ling, armed with a long knife, thereupon rushed upon him, cutting. his arm and inflicting other slight wounds. Ling had been in this coun- try only two years. A Uermit F en to Death. Wichita, Kan., Dec. 31—Emile Lan- nes, a hermit for a dozen years in a canyon in Beaver County, No Man’s Land, was found frozen to death in his rude hut. A crucifix was grasped tightly in one hand and a rosary in the other. He was ninety years of age and was said to be a son of one of Napoleon’s marshals. The hut he lived in contained nothing but a rough table, a few cooking utensils and about fifty volumes of French religious books. A Fire at Sing Sing. Sing Sing, N. Y., Dec. 31.—Fire was discovered in the storehouse and laun- dry of Sing Sing prison yesterday morning. Although the firemen re-_ sponded promptly the flames had gain- ed considerable headway. The burned buildings are located in the northeast portion of the prison yard. The loss is estimated at $2,500, and is not in- | sured. The cause of the fire is a mys- tery.
