Faille and all varieties of corded silk
tvlll to In great vogue during the two Bea
cons before us.
In Paris belts of goatskin , black and
white speckled , and fastened with polished
ctcel and torquolso and ruby clasps , arc a
fad.

The grays are graduated In tone and
known an platlnc , aluminum , nickel nnd
Oliver , the paler shades being more popular.
Damson Is one of tha comlnff autumn
shades. It has a great deal of rich , deep
crimson In It , and Is seen In rich autumn
materials In silk and wool.
A shaped flounce decorates the newest
long ulster coat. It has a high collar , and
In point of color light gray promises to
oust tan , which hns held Us own BO long.
Shirt waists of white taffeta are made
with H yoke of guipure lace with flchu
olTect. The sleeves are also of guipure , and
two tiny knlfc-plalted ruffles finish tha bottom
tom , giving the bodlco the appearance of
a short basque.
The latest notion In millinery Is narrow
black velvet , mounted on wire , BO that It
can bo bent Into any form required for
bows , wings , rosettes , loops , etc. It has
found great favor , for , In addltlou to being
effective. It Is light and airy and looks
veil with gauzellko materials.
Flchu nnd bartha effects and oddly draped
close-cut sleeves , laced on the outside of
the arm from wrist to elbow , appear on
many of the new street rertlngotca and
Loulo XIV polonaises designed for the au
tumn and winter.
"National blue , " n now color this season ,
Is a clear , lively tone of deep blue nlld
bids fair to rival navy blue In popular favor.
IJmorulcl green Is revived this season and a
shade of sea-green comes to us from Paris ,
under the name of "Neptune. "
Black and whlto Is no popular a combina
tion as ever and black gowns relieved with
whlto and sparkling with Jet are completed
by fluffy net or feather boas. Indeed , white
may be called the universal color , for the
trying gray , heliotrope , nnd wood shades are
nil rendered becoming by the use of whlto
collars , yokes and vests.
All Indications point to navy blue as a
popular color for fall and winter wear. Its
nelectlon , In most mln < ln , IB a sentimental
choice , as ono fondly Imagines she Is honor
ing our naval heroes by wearing gowns of
that color. Asldo from this , the fact Is
that navy blue Is becoming to blondes ,
brunettes and "mediums" alike. It mak-sa
dark eyes shine , brings out the blue In
gray eyes and heightens the tone value of
blue eyes.
Double-faced cashmere and drop d'cte will
nharti French honors with Venetian cloth
In the making of elegant tailor costumes for
dreaa occasions. Silk gimps , velvet ribbon
In various widths , white satin and gold braid
arc the chosen decorations for these gowns ;
otherwise cream or white eatln. overlaid
with guipure lace , will bo used.
There has been an Inclination seen this
Bummer for a revival of the style of dress
made for little girls some five or ten years
ngo. The fashion was then called Green-
away ; If It becomes confirmed It will prob
ably have another name. The long , full
frocks gave the small figures a quaint look
that the Frenchy short gowns never Impart.
A feature this year Is the low neck and
short sleeves. Gulmpes may be worn , but
on hot days are left off with equal propriety.
A new corset , designed solely for comfort ,
is raado of light , supple material and boned
with alternate straps of elastic. It Is well
adapted for easy nnd neglige wear. An
other novelty In the stay line Is a straight-
busked corset , with cambrtiro sides , made m
palo tints of exquisitely fine batiste ; this
ehado gives the pretty rounded effect so
noticeable In the Parisian woman's figure.
Sl nderncss and grace arc the great con
siderations In the bracelet , which has been
adopted again with eagerness. The old-time
tnasslvo bracelet of gold and precious stones ,
is not tolerated. Ono of the most Ingenious
novelties Is a bangle with a jeweled pendant ,
which can bo used for a lace pin. Another
design has a few magnificent stonea mounted
in a cluster , which can ba converted into a
brooch , pendant or hair ornament.
Silk-warp whlto.serges , trimmed -with lace
or satin straps anil email whlto pearl tailor
buttons , form very charming costumei for
the early autumn , while mohairs are simi
larly used. These greatly Improved fabrics
are manipulated just as silk materials are ,
and even those made In tailor fashion for the
'afreet are illk lined and lightened on the
front with chiffon trimmings.
Military trimmings are b.lng manufac
tured for fall gowns. There are epaulets ,
adjutant's cording and a great array of gold
braid and trappings. A stunning suit Is
u made of military gray cloth with an Eton
Jacket with narrow rovers of black velvet
and straps of gold and black braid on either
sldr. The cuffs of the very close , plain
sleeves , the black collar and th-e belt are
fastened with brats buttons , and so Is the
vest of yellow chamois. The skirt Is also
braided military fashion.
Though capeb have lost a degree of their
rec-ent prestige , they are far too useful and
convenlelnt to be wholly discarded , and , es
American women have not yet very gener
ally consented to wear the eel-skin sleeves
with absolutely nothing In the shape of
frill , tiny puff or epaulette on the shoulders ,
they will no doubt continue to elect for
capes , which do not crush their sleeves ,
and , further , save the trouble of tucking one
sleeve Into another. Strictly becoming nd
stylish , however , the majority of capes are
not , and to some women they are distinctly
the reverse. Short and over-full , they Rive
a decided humplshness to many figures. For
general bocomlngness the three-quarter
cape , covering the hips , and only moderately
full , Is superior to all others of its kind , and
the less trimming the better.
VOICES.
Albert Ttlgelow Palno In New York Herald.
Oh , the mini shines bright on the roadway
white
And burns on the roses red ,
And blue IB the sky where marching by
Are men with a martial trend.
And a redblrd Rings In the apple tree ,
And n white dev hovers near ,
And a bluebird whistles a note to me
As the soldiers disappear.
"And where , " says blue , "are they going
to ,
And what are they going for ? "
And a crow tiles bv with the hollow cry ,
Of "War ! War ! War ! "
Oh. the night fnlls brown on field and town
That throb with the summer heat ,
As , lifting my latch. I bend to catch
The tramp of returning feet.
And the redblrd sleeps , and the dove of

And the blueblrd'n voice Is still ,
While out of the shadows comes tonight
The SOUK of the whlp-po'-will.
Oh , feet that pass In thu dust and grass ,
My vigil shall never cease ,
Though a cricket sings with Its grating
wings
Of "Peace ! Peace ! Peace ! "

The savage viewing the flower of civiliza
tion. That Is what one may see at Omaha ;
ana the more ono considers It , the more be
wildering , the sadder and the more Inter
esting In the gravest way , Is the specta
cle. Tumbled masses of cloud against the
blue caught the sunlight and the colossal
statues on the building * shone Ilko whlto
marble. The gondolas skimmed the lagoon.
A profusion of vines made a boner out of
the shallow curves of the colonades and the
banks of the lagoon wcro a dazzling mass
of althtas and cannas. Opposite the beau *
tlful Art building stood a little group of
Indians. The men wore coats roughly
shaped out of gay blankets , and calico shins
and moccasins. The women's black hair
was uncovered. Their babies were slung
on their backs. Men and women and chil
dren were all eating candy. A "mixed
blood" Interpreter piloted them. They
stared with Incurious faces ; but , as they
passed over the bridge on to the wide space
of the plaza , a wave of excitement struck
them ; they nudged each other , and the
biggest bravo In the party laughed aloud ;
while two or three Indians with mock feroc.
ity ran , brandishing their arms , at the
grotesque "touter" for the "old Maine"
restaurant , In his yellow trousers and tow
wig , who was waving a toy gun , followed
by his educated pig.
The women laughed and the men laughed.
They wcro almost as jovial as negroes. Then
they returned to the candy stand. They
are fond of candy and soda water , and It
it rather a shock to see them putting cigar
ettes with Intense enjoyment.
Tribe * Represented.
The Indians now encamped at Omaha , on
the Bluff tract , belong to a number or
tribes. They arc , or soon will be , the
peaceful Wlnnobagoes and the Omabas , the
warlike Sioux nnd the Apaches , the Sacs
nnd Foxes , ( whose ancestors owned all
Iowa ) , the Blackfeet and Cheyennes , the
Flutes and Diggers , Poncas , ( the peaceful
tribe which never had the blood ot a white
man charged to It. yet were despoiled of
their home ; and farms more ruthlessly and
with less provocation than the Arcadians
were driven out of the north ) , the
Arapahocs , the Shoshones , the despised
Plutes and the haughty Semlnoles , the
Zunis and Moguls with their own crude in
dustries , the Kaws , Quapawws , lowas , the
Delawores , immortalized by Cooper , Tonka-
was , Cherokees , Cblppewas , Ganges , Choo-
taws , Creeks , Urnatlllas , Yawlmas , Ban
nocks , Nez Percez , representatives In fine
of almost every great tribal division left
In the United States. The encampment la
by Itself , on the edge of a cornfield. Each
tribe has its little village of wigwams , tee
pees or wickiups. There the Indians live ,
la the same fashion as they would live on
the plains , except that they have no farms
to cultivate. They stay a short time and
glvo place to others. Meanwhile , they have
their own Industries , they make beadwork
and baskets , the Chlppewas frame their
birch bark canoes ; the Navajoes will weave
their blankets ( alas ! they no longer use
their own honest , vegetable , unfading dyes ,
but the moro convenient and transitory
dyes of the white man ) ; the Zunls will
shape their pottery , they will cook and sew
and have their own religious exercises and
sports and games and ceremonials. Captain
Mercer of the United States army is In
charge. The assistant superintendent , Mr.
W. C. Llddlard , took us over the encamp
ment among the various tribes. He seemed
on the best of terms with them all , and
joked affably with the interpreters. The
interpreters , themselves , spoke English
fluently , with the average plainsman's In
dependence in grammar and picturesque
metaphors. In general , they seemed to beef
of mixed blood , keen , alsrt men , quick at a
trade , very civil in their manners , but not
disposed to have their charges made a show
of , more than was profitable. Some o'f them
are men of property. They are proud of
their education and their "citizen's clothes , "
as they call the white man's dress.
A Genalne War Dance.
Later , when we were watching the war
dance , I heard a man call to one of these
men , "Bay , Jim , why ain't you In that ring ,
painted up and dancing ? " To which Jim i
answered gruffly : "Me ! I ain't never been i
painted In my life , or danced neither ! "
There wan a war dance in tbo afternoon ,
some seven tribes participating. A splendid
spectacle it was , purely as a spectacle. The
braves were In full war paint , displaying a
truly ghastly ingenuity In their bedizen-
monts. Some of the braves were as smoothly
colored as a terra cotta Image , others bad
the pigments smeared hideously in streaks
and patches. There was a lithe creature
whose body was painted white , but his face
was black. He had very little but paint
and sliver bracelets and feathers on him , and
he smoked a cigarette. Another warrior was
all yellow , except for green cheeks. He wore
glasses , and the effect of his painted face
was indescribable , he was Ilko one of the
Creatures In Alice < ln Wonderland. A mag
nificent fellow painted light red over his
splendid shape , had a grim array of white
crosses on his face. He wore heavy brace
lets and there wer eagle plumes In bis black
hair. With his bare torso and bis fringed
Icgglns of skin , his paint and bin feathers ,
he might have stepped out of one of Cooper's
novels. Ho had a carriage as untamed and
fine as his figure. I called htm Uncas until
I saw him blow his noso. Vet , really , I
suppose Uncas had no handkerchief. One
of the Fox chiefs certainly did have a hand
kerchief , and it was Impressive to see him
as he wiped Ms face with some two yards
of unbleached cotton.
The master of cere
monies waa the champion archer of
the world. Tha different tribes
marched in and took their places
In a ring on the grass. They sat ,
their elbows on their knees , smoking In
silence. Slowly the tribes assembled.
While they gathered , two drums were placed
on supports of wood , and six braves sat
arouud them , beating them and walling a
wild and monotonous war song. These
would give place to others. Mr. Llddiard
turned to two pretty Indian girls in civil
ized dress , who held themselves and walked
like any young girls , possibly a thought
moro gracefully. "Does that drum sound
natural ? " said he. The Indian girl smiled
and nodded. "Very , " said she.
Many Varieties ot Dress.
Presently a young Indian In a smart light
suit with an umbrella joined the girls , to
whom bo lifted his hat and bowed and
smiled. He held the umbrella over the
nearer clrl's head. Ho bent his bead and
smiled , showing his white teeth , and she
laughed. And not a stone's throw from
them were painted braves who sat on their
blankets and remembered battle and mur
der and the pale faces' screams. In one
band was a lad who could not have besn
more than 12 , but he waa painted and be
decked Ilk * the warriors. He sat with his
little plpa stems of arms on his knees , puffIng -
Ing a cigarette with precisely the same
stolid demeanor of the big men to the right
and left ot him. It was funny to see this
mite's painstaking imitation of a great
brave's dignity. When the time came to
dance , he danced and shouted ( In bis shrill I.
childish treble ) , just M they did. Last of )
all the Sioux. In war bonnets nnd wampum ,
nnd the Apaches wearing beautiful blankets
orof
ofw brilliant hue , filed Into place. They
walked with Immense dignity ! and no one
with o much dignity as the last man , who
wore a soft hat stuck with feathers and
iroudly wrapped about him a new patch *
work quilt. No doubt he felt himself better
dressed ' than White Buffalo just before htm ,
who bad a magnificent blanket fresh from
tha dyer , red and blue and yellow In most
cunning patterns.
Tha duice promptly began ; the drums
Denting , the singers singing and the dancers
rushing and leaping Into the ring. They
lumped about , at first slowly , then with
wilder gyrations , swinging their harmless
wands , which they bore In lieu ot weapons ,
and droning a monotonous SOUR ot triumph.
And all around them , their ponies grated ,
while a buffalo , perhaps doomed to be the
mainstay of come future feast , solemnly
watched them from his stockade ; and the
golden domes of the dream city by the
lagoon caught the eunset light.
WaM In the Cusler Plant.
After the dance three of the chiefs were
Introduced , Man-Who-Went-to-Wnr , Big
Brave and Gray Eagle. Gray Eagle Is a
young chief and very handsome and the
master of ceremonies remarked that "tho
girls had a good deal to do w.lth Gray Eagle's
election , " which would Imply that human
nature Is still very human , even when the
sex Is supposed to be most truly subju
gated. Gray Eagle must have understood
English , for he suppressed a smile and shot
a glance at the squaws near us , who
promptly giggled. Big Bravo In one battle
with a warring tribe killed nine warriors.
Or , to use the archer's words , "he had nine
scalps to his credit. "
Man-Who-Went-to-Wnr wan a splendid
looking brave , with a face ot the traditional
melancholy and dignity of the Indian. He
listened as the archer described the part
which he took In the Custer massacre. Mon-
Who-Went-to-War says that after the first
charge , when Custer found the force against
him and gave back , the Indians would have
retired. They did not want to kill Custer ,
who was esteemed among them as a brave
man , but when Custer charged again , they
became angry "and In that one wild charge
up the hill they killed every soldier. "
When the archer had made an end , bo
turned to Man-Who-Went-to-War , expecting
him to retire ; Instead , the Indian burst Into
an impassioned flood of oratory in bis own
tongue. The white audience politely ap
plauded ; and the archer interpreted that
llan-Who-Went-to-War had uald that it
was all right for the white man to have this
country , but that , seeing that the white
man had come to this country from across
the seas , where he bad not had room enough
to live , he might at least allow his red
brother standing room. here , as much room
aa he had left In the old land. "He says
he would like some time to talk to you
about three hours on these subjects , " said
the archer , nnd there was a laugh. Yet
there was a touch ot pathos in the atti
tude of the lonely warrior of a doomed
race who fought until fighting was hopeless ;
and , now , In a strange land among his
alien foes , Is only a part of an Idle show.
I had an Interview of my own with Big
Ecave. I met him on the plaza near a
candy stand. I said "How , " because I un
derstand from the novels that such Is the
polite salutation for an Indian. He replied ,
rather to my surprise , simply , "Yes ,
ma'am. "
"Do you speak English ? " Bald I.
He shook his head. "How ye ? " said he ;
nd he smiled Affably.
"Would you like some candy ? " said I.
"Yes , ma'am , " said he.
I bought him some candy , which ne
shared with the others. Then , through the
Interpreter he asked my name , and extended
bis hands with a speech In Indian , which
I would give something to have understood.
And then we parted. But when he saw me
again on the ground he § ald , "How ye ? " In
friendly fashion.
An Apache Medicine Dance.
As this Is the extent of my personal In
tercourse with the unfortunate red men I
do not feel equal to any moral reflection * .
So far , however , as we saw them , they
seemed to have a politeness-of their own.
They were qutet and distinctly friendly. At
night wo saw the Apache medicine dance.
It would be hard to Imagine a. wilder scene.
Great fires of wood built Into cones were
blazing , and about them leaped the iriasked
and naked forms of the Indians , their
heads surmounted by the huge painted
" . " All about
crosses of the "medicine.
them on the grass were dark forms of In
dians , men , women and children. A war
rior sat near me , holding his l > aby boy and
talking at Intervals to bin wife who sat
near with an older child. He might have
been an American father , for anything In
his Intonation and gestures. His wife
laughed over something he said , Just aa her
paleface sister who belongs to a women's
club and doesn't mind keeping her lord
waiting , mlgtt laugh. And the dark head
with the feather * , and the dark face with
Its wr paint was bent over the child , and
the little form was carefully ablfted , quite
as If he were a white father and loved his
little boy.
I am told by those who know the Indian
best that he his warm family affection * .
That night I waa disposed to believe the

To Celebrate Their Great Feasts.
The Indian encampment la to grow more
Interesting all the time. There Is te be
a succession of the great traditional Indian
feasts , and the tribes themselves are be
coming excited and eager to celebrate them
on a large scale. The famous sun dance
of the Sioux , the dog feast of the Black-
feet , the ghost dances , the medicine dances ,
are only a few of the spectacles that will
be given. To a student , however , the
keenest Interest will attach to the Indians'
daily life and Industry , and such an op
portunity to study It first band has never
been given and never can be given again !
The school work , the farm work , the rude
beginnings of manufacture , these will been
on exhibition. And , at the same time ,
one can see from ten to twenty tribes , aa
different from each other as Americans are
different from Cubans , or Turks t from
Frenchmen , who will live together with the
doors open.
An eastern friend writes to me , "Is the
Omaha exposition worth a Journey from the
seaboard ? " I answered her , "The Indian
encampment , alone , Is worth the Journey ! "
OCTAVE THANET.
TOLD OUT OF COURT.
A correspondent sends Law Notes the fol
lowing story from MttsliBlppl : Counsel for
the defense was addressing a country justice
of tbo peace ot the "old school. " Said be :
"I realize that I stand in tbo presence ot a
descendant of the grand old Huguenot fam
ily that emigrated from Franco to escape
from religious Intolerance. Many able jur
ists have sprung from that family und em
bellished the bench and bar of the union.
Their watchwords are honor , truth and jus
tlce and their names are spoken In every
home. The law Is so plain In this case
that 'be who runs may read. ' Shall I in
sult the intelligence of the court by reit
erating a proposition so simple ? Need I
say more ? "
"No. " Interrupted the judge , ' "taln't nee
essary I'll give you a judgment. " Coun
sel sat down , while the judge , with em
phasis , knocked tbo ashes from his cob
pipe and counsel for plaintiff began :
"May It please the court "
' "Squire , what are you flxln' to do ? '
asked the judge.
"I have the closing argument , " was the
reply.
"Well , you Jes' as well set 'own. 1
done got my mind sot on the other side , '
Judgment for defendant.
"When I was new to the business and
had n beautiful faith In the efficacy ot our
Jury system , " tells a veteran of tbo De
troit bar to the Free Press man , "I was
employed to defend a burgltr. The fellow
was guilty enough , and that , to
my youthful mind , was sufficient
to Insure his conviction. He had
wealthy friends who retained me , nnd I
worked with the greatest zeal until satisfied
that the mrv ) had done the crime of which
he was accused. Then I went to him and
said that his wlseet course would be to
plead guilty. I would make a strong talk
for him and then appeal to the mercy of
the court.
" 'Young man , ' ho said , looking me over
scornfully from head to foot , 'you've been
hired to defend me nnd been well paid.
You take good money to help me aud then
ask mo to save you all the work and trouble
by pleading guilty. Now , you get right
out of here , ' as he rattled the grating to
call the Jailer , 'and If you don't put up the
hottest kind of a fight I'll announce right
out In open court that you weakened and
wanted to get your money without earn
ing it. ' "
"Did you let him bluff you that way ? "
"Oh , yea , I humored him and tried the
case. "
"Got a life sentence , I presume ? " " ,
"No ; the Jury acquitted him. "
A dead set by a street car made a dead
setter of a dog that was standing on the
trock setting birds. In an action against
the street car company Judge Wllltcs of
Tennessee , holding that his pedigree might
bo proved , said : "This particular dog killed
Is shown to have had what In dog circles
Is regarded as 'bluo blood , ' and among those
he belonged to the Inner circles of the
' 400' a member of the 'F. F. T.'s' or 'i-'lrst
Families of Tennessee. ' In addition he
was of English descent. His sire was
'Champion Tribulation , by Imp. Boppo III. ,
out of Imp. Champion Loss of Bow. ' His
dam was 'Dick's Sue , by Dick , out of Ida
Heath,1 etc. , for as many generations. It
Is fully shown that on both sides the ancestry -
cestry Is traced back to the best of English
nobility blood in dog circles. * H is
attempted to show that this dog's descent
may not have been entirely pure , and It Is
Intimated that ho may have had 'terrier'
blood In him , but the only foundation for
this Inference Is the faot that he 'tarried'
so long on the track when the car was ap
proaching. But It appears from the record
that' It Is a characteristic of the pointer
ben ho sots to become obltvlouH to all
arthly surroundings , and the bluer his
load the moro absent-minded he becomes

GOSSIP ABOUT NOTED PEOPLE.
Washington Duke , the cigarette man , has
ust given $100,000 to Trinity college , Dur

Iven by the Dukes to tie Institution , every
ollar of which except the last sum has been

luilness rivals to a certain decree , are
neighbors and friends. They were both In

Bcipcror William a few weeks ago an
nounced his Intention to bo present at a
llnlcal lecture on surgery. Ho arrived
uat as a noted operator was amputating a
eg , the riroteesor doing the work with his
iccustomrd neatness and dexterity. "Bravo ,
professor , " said the kaiser , as soon as the
iperatton was finished. The professor is of
hose who do not regard the emperor as a
'consecrated person" and he replied with
ourtly Irony : "Perhaps your majesty would
ike to see the other leg taken off also. "
The kaiser left soon after.
Joachim , the great violinist , was Intro
duced to Carlyle by , * mutual friend. The

and he asked Joachim to accompany him.
During a very long walk In Hyde park Car-

bought It was his turn to take a lead and
he started with the Inquiry : "Do you know
Sterndale Bennett ? " "No , " was the reply ,
and , after a pause , "I don't care generally
'or ' musicians ; they are an empty , wind-
jaggy sort of people. "
The Philadelphia Record tars that th
ate Dr. William Pepper could do sever * !
things at once. He had two secretaries ,
whom be kept busy , while perhaps at the
same time he examined several patients ,
worked on an average eighteen hours a
day and whn he began to feel the effsets of
atlgue he would lie down on a couch or a
sofa and be sound a sleep In a minute or

for several hours' work to follow. It Is
related of him that on one occasion he
called to see a man suffering from some
disease , and , finding htm ule jtfce doctor
lay down by his side and was soon fast
asleep also. Curiously enough , although
as a physician he advocated perfect ro'gu-
