Directoira Styles.-
Directoirc styles are re-appearing , and the
extremely wide rcvcrs that characterize these
fashions are seen on both liouse and street
costumes ; they add distinction to the jaunty
top-coat , the trim jacket , and the tailor-made
basque , and impart the desired chic to n simple
liousc-Jress or an elaborate Joilet. On house-
dresses , velvet of a contrasting color is prefer
red for tins purpose , and the cuffs , and fre
quently the entire sleeves , are of velvet.
Clack , emerald green , and old red velvet are
most frequently chosen. From "Review of
Fashions , in Demorest's Family Magazine for
October.
The fureur for pink has by no means abat
ed. Whether for dress , or for house or table
decorations , couleur de rose reigns supreme.
A most charming effect was produced at a re
cent anniversary luncheon by the use of great
double , rose-tinted hollyhocks in a silver bowl
in the center of the table , and smaller bowls ,
filled with the same floweis , placed at intervals
between the places for guests. The lunchci-n
was served on the lawn , under a marquee cov
ered on the inside with garlands of greenery
interspersed with hollyhocks. The daughter
of the house , a perfect blonde with the face of
a cherub , was dressed in palest pink , from her
jaunty , broad-brimmed hat of pink mull with
its wreath of hollyhocks , to the tips of her
dainty Suede slippers. From Demorest's

Kccovery.
Loox LAKE HOUSE , X. Y. , Sept. l.V
Drs. P. E. Gardner of Washington , P.
E. Doughoy of Now York and E. T.
Trudeau of Saranac , had a consulta
tion at the president's cottage this
morning in regard to the case of Mrs.
Harrison aud at its close issued
the following statement of her condi
tion : ' 'Primary disease , pulmon
ary tuberculosis of right side
associated with nervous prostration.
Recent complication , sub-acuto pleu
risy with rapid effusion of water in the
right chest necessitating two tappings ,
with some relief. Present condition ,
critical on account of tendency to re
production of fluid. Removal to Wash

time at the bedside of his wife , trying

union plans.
The president's family take no en
couragement from the bulletins and
such of them as showe 1 themselves
this morning made no effort to conceal
their great alarm at the situation.
The physicians advise them to hope
for the best , but offer no real encour
agement. They admit that they are
uncertain as to the result and have , so
it is said , quietly intimated to the pres
ident the strong probability of a fatal
result
One of Mrs. Harrison's physicians
has authorized the following state
ment of her case as an explanation of
the bulletin issued this morning : She
was first taken with a severe attack of
the grip in Washington in the
winter ' of 1SOO , followed and
aggravated by severe bronchial
and pulmonary troubles lasting
some time. While at Cape May in the
summer of 1801 she again took a heavy
cold and the bronchial troubles re
appeared. It was some weeks before
this attack yielded to treatment. Last
winter she had a second attack of the
grip , which this time , was followed
by catarrhal pneumonia , lasting
seven or eight days. After
that she was troubled by a
severe cough , followed in March last
with a slight hemorrhage of the right
lung , followed by consolidation of the
right apex. This consolidation has
gradually increased up to the present
time , accompanied throughout with
nervous prostration. The conditions
stated in the bulletin then ensued , re
sulting in the development of ef
fusions.

Kan. , Sept 14. Hugh
Henry , the negro fiend who made a
dcspcrato but unsuccessful attempt to
outrage Miss Mabel Welsh yesterday
morning , was capiurcu UL nuuu yester
day twelve miles west of here , brought
back and hanged to a telegraph pole
late last night , on the second attempt
of the mob to capture him and deal
summarily with him.
Monday night the negro who had
been gambling and drinking in Lon
Epper's dive , left there penniless and
started out to seek a place to sleep.
According to his own illy-constructed
story , the window opening into the
room of Miss Welsh was opened and
he climbed in. This was about
3:30 : o'clock yesterday morning
when the streets were wholly
deserted. Then began a battle for
life and honor by the young woman.
The iiend held a knife in his teeth and
she made a desperate effort to get it
in her possession. In the attempt her
hands were cut frightfully and she
was soon compelled to give up the
unequal contest With the knife in
one hand and the other at her throat ,
the wretch declared if she made an
outcry he would kill her. Still she
fought silently and successfully.
Klin Down Attcr : i Long Clmsu.
At the first appearance of dawn , the
wretch made his egress through the
window and started west along the
line of the Jetmore branch.
As soon as the affair became known ,
a posse of determined men started in
pursuit. E. E. Friz/ell struck the
right trail from the start and before
he had gone far , was joined by D. W.
Hills while Jack Shuls followed in a
cart. The fugitive's tracks along the
railroad were clearly discernable and
when they left the railroad Frizzell
turned to follow the source
of the Pawnee. About noon , near
the old Lawrence bridge , twelve miles
west of Larned , the wretch was found
asleep. He was awakened by his pur
suers and upon being confronted with
his crime and the evidence , confessed
his guilt He was brought back to
uie custouy 01
Sheriff Thorp who placed him in jail.
During the day numerous ugly
threats were made , but when Brock
arrived in town there were few per
sons on the streets and he was impris
oned without molestation. Immedi
ately after supper , however , knots of
excited men talked in subdued tones
and ugly rumors were set alloat
A Determined Mob.
At 9 o'clock over 200 men and boys
started for the jail to a cry of "get a
rope. " The crowd swelled in number
until nearly 500 people lined the street
in front of the court house.
Sheriff Thorp was down town and a
few minutes after the mob left for the
jail the sheriff went to the jail and
reconnoitered the premises and the
mob. After a few words of admoni
tion from the sheriff the mob dis
persed.
As the electric light whistle gave
the hour of 12 , recruits went into the
electric power house block in squads
of twelve and fifteen and at 12:15 ,
fifty determined men , under good
leadership advanced. The attack on
the jail was begun at 12:30 and at 1:10
a. m. the leaders of the mob were in
the brute's cell and had adjusted the
rope about his neck.
Then began a series of bloodcurdling
ling yells from the negro and severe
abmonitions to keep quiet from the
men who were leading him to the
court yard.
Given Time to I'ray and Talk.
The mineral lake was reached and ,
placing the wretch on a stepping
block , the mob gave him a chance to
make his peace with God. He asked
if there was a Christian in the crowd
and in response , a white man and a
colored man pressed forward and * at
tiis request , knelt and offered prayer
to God. It seemed anything to gain
time with Brock and he essayed to
remain longer upon his knees.
Throughout the season of prayer the
tiundreds of men remained quiet , and
when the fiend rose from his knees to
the block there was a universal cry of
"Let him speak. " He did speak , but
in a rambling way. Finally , when he
saw there was no hope , he acknowl
edged his guilt.
The wretch was then marched be
yond the mineral lake to the railroad
aridge , three-quarters of a mile west
of the Santa Fe depot , the rope thrown
over the crosspiece of a telegraph pole
and at 1:45 the body was swung into
eternity.
In a few minutes the crowd had dis
persed and the only evidence of the
: rime this morning was the dead body
of the negro , the bruised , lacerated ,
lysterical young woman , a battered
[ ail door and the feeling that this was
an outraged community.
Mabel Welsh is from Denver , Col. ,
aut with her brother has been en-
jaged in the second hand furniture
business. She is 2 ? years old and of
good reputation. The only thing that
: an be said against her is that
her brother operated a joint ,
was imprisoned for the offense , broke
[ ail and is now in hiding from the dffi-
cers. Her character is irreproachable
and she has the respect of the people
of the community with whom she has
lad dealings. The jury impaneled by
Coroner Ingles rendered the following
verdict :
Coroner's Verdict.
Hugh Henry came to his death at the end
of a rope In ttie hands of parties to us un-
