THE MILLINER'S HE C RET-
Why tbo Poke Bonnet Has Had Such
a Success.
"Aro those things really the aamo
of fashion ? ' inquired a San Francisco
Ghroniolo reporter of a prominent
milliner of Kearney stroat yesterday
as ho gazed in wonder at an nnshape
ly bonnet which ornamented the top
of a slender pedestal.
"In fashion ! " was the response ,
"Why , ladles with any style abon
them have nothing on their heads fo
street wear this spring bat poke bon
nets ! "
"The San Francisco ladles Indeed
seem to bo partial to this unseemly
head gear , " coincided the repnitor.
"Yes , nearly one-half of the lady
population of this city possesses
a poke bonnet of some kind. A
present there is a great demand fo ;
the Liugtry poke , which < ras Intro
dncod to American ladles by the fa
mous "Jersey Lily. " The only po
culiarlty of this bonnet over th
American bent poke is the carl back
ward of the frontispiece. It is mad .
of chip or tnwllla , and trimmed with
flowers and lace , the fur bonnets hav *
ing gone oat of vogao with the close
of the winter season , Now , a first
class Lingtry poke costs , when 'prop
erly put up , ' $40 , whllo the American
poke can bo purchased anywhere in
the city for $10. The fact of the
Lingtry poke being a French bonnet
increases Its popularity , for , yon
know , oar San Francisco ladies ate
very apt to adopt aythlng with a
French flavor. "
"How do you acquire that crushed
shape ? " nas asked.
"Ob , that is a secret of our art ,
which I will explain to yon sub rosa ,
but for goodness sake don't say I told
. you. Well , you see , we jaat take the
- bonnets as they como to us in square
shape , and and why wo sit down on
them If the shape dealrod is an
a extremely dilapidated one , wo sit a
- long time ; if it is only moderate we
do not take so long a sitting. When
. wo got off from the bonnet , as it wore ,
it is ready for trimming ; so you see
all poke bonnets cannot bo shaped
alike , and ntout milliners have tom
g employ slight girls to sit on poke bon
nets and crush them into the popular
shape. "
' 'Rather ' a novel idea , " ventured the
, astonished reporter ,
"Ah , yes ! " continued the milliner ,
for she would talk , and good'byo tc
time when a woman talks bonnet , "I ]
will admit that they are grotesque
but yea know oar San Franclacc
- ladles love to Indulge In the absurdi
ties of fashion , and while wo modest
nillli isrs daproolnto the idea of being
dictated ta by French customs , wo are
prttptr'd to adopt the most nonsensi
cal deformities of shape. Yea may
laugh at thoao bonnets , but they are
unsurpassed for the purpose of hldlug
unojmoly parts of no ugly facn ana
presenting to view only the features
of the fnct > In a massive centre ,
' 'What Is there tnoro boirltchlng or
lovely , " continued the milliner , "than
a pair of Ur e , luattoas eyes glancing
shyly around the corner of ono of the
bonnets , or the pliik-tlntod lips of
some rosy cheeked maldou purling
just enough to display a sit of pearly
teeth , ana all protected fromintratlou
within the forbidding precincts of the
poke bonnet ? Then , too , they are
wonderful concenters of ago , and the
maiden on the vinegar side of existence
once is mntlo quite as attraotlvo as the
youngest child of nature , who , ovt-n
without the aid of a poke , Is a plo-
tnro for men to gaze and fix their love
upon.
"There seems to bo a suggestion to
mothers in procuring theau bonnets
for their daughter ) ? " ventured thu
reporter.
' 'Yos , for how could they got Inside
of a poke bonnet ? Oh , they are juat
the thing to keep a rash young man
at a distance , but don't say anytlng
abont this suggestion , for my old
old muld cmtomers might discontinue
their trade , aud to t om dlataucodoes

young men are concerned , "

fore wo wore married yon ueod to t

but you don't Hoom to care anything
about your clothes now. Considering
your profession , it Is moro than gooc
policy for you to look well. If yon
keep on looking so needy people wll'
begin to think you have lost all year

"I thought I looked well enough , "
said Mr. Breezy , making a flank move
ment on the hmb chops.
"I suppoao so , " said Mrs. Breezy.
' You men always think you look well
enough after marriage. Before you

"Well , what Is the matter with my

"Why , you should just t ko those

They look scandalous. That's just it
ocandalous , " and Mrs. Braezy

"I deny looking like a gay , " said

> snvf r Uepubtlckn ,
Nearly CO years ngo Totn Brlggs
nd wife wont Into the central portion
f Iowa and built themselves a homo
n the wilderness. Mr. IJrlggs was
onorgctlo , his wife industrious , nnd
hey began to prosper. After Mr ,
Jrlggs had cleared ono farm of forest
trees , begun to cultivate It and enjoy
Ifo , ho took u notion to aoll out and
go further west , which ho did. Ho
cleared another 100 aoros In Iowa ,
aold that , and ropaated the same
thing a third tlmo. In the moantlmo
10 had seven eons ami two daughters
Born to him , and waa at loaat fortu-
uato In uboylng the scriptural lujnuo-
tlon to bo fruitful nnd multiply.
CONVKHTKl ) TO MOUMONISM ,
Mrs. Briggs had booomo oonvortod
to Mormoulam by an Itinerant Mor
mon older , and aho In turn converted
Her family to the name belief , with the
exception of her husband , who rcfuecd
tn cjuiitunauoj the doctrlno. Mr.
Brlggs'a obstinacy caused htm and his
wife to bo continually bickering , aud
lifo bucamo unbearable to the old genti
tlomau. To add to his misery , hU
wife waa atrlckon blind. She then
took to lecturing ou Mormonlam ,
which so dleguatod the old goutlemtu
that ho left her , and , atrange to atato ,
wont to Salt Lake City. Whllo lu the
now Jerusalem ho became infatuated
with n buxom English widow and mar
rlod her according to the Mormon
rltca , As the old man could not be
Induced to embrace the practice of
polygamy , ho foil into distaror with
Brlgnam Young , and also Incurred
the I enmity of the Dmltoa. Finding
it useless to remain In Salt Lake , Mr.
Brlgga and hia wife attempted to
leave the city , and were thwarted
aovoral timol In their endeavors , but
were at last successful enough to roach
a point distant from the City of the
Saints thirty miles , with two good
horses and a wagon , but at that point
the Mormons atolo tholr horaes. They
remained In camp aovoral days , not
knowing what to do , and were relieved
of the dilemma In which they were
placed by the Salt Like butcher , who
was not much of a Mormon after all ,
giving thorn a yoke of ateora. With
the two oxen Mr. aud Mra. Brlggs
made their way to the North Platte ,
where they mot the notorious Slado ,
who c lie rod them a station at Oicho
lo 1'oudro , and iho oll'or waa accepted.
They remained there for about two
yoara , and the Indiana getting trouble-
aoino , they loft and came to Denver ,
aottllng ou the weaf aldo. At that tlmo
property waa valueless on the weal
sldu of Cherry Crook , and but
few bollovod it would over bo worth
anything. Mr. Brlggs purchased aev-
oral lota on Larimer and Eleventh
streets , and the the rapid Increase In
value made him Independent. Whllo
enjoying himself as n small capitalist
Mr. Brlgga waa dubbed "Governor , "
aud thu title stuck to him until his
death. When ho died ho waa worth
\bout $15,000. Whllo lying upon his
Joath bed , and when rapidly approach
ing dissolution , ho was asked what ho
ras going to do with hia property ,
ind Bald ho hadn't thought much
about it , but supposed ho would leave
it to his helra. Mr. Thos. Chandler ,
who waa a frlond of the family , told I
him ho had better leave It to his wifo.
aa she was potting old and would need I
It. The "Governor" finally conuont
od , and at hia roqnont Mr. Chandler
wrote hia will at hi ) dictation , and it t
was oigned by the "Governor , " in the
proscnco of several witnesses. That t
night ho died.
The will was proved and admitted I
to probate , and Mrs. Brltjgs enjoyed I
the full possession of her rights. Two
years ago In-day she married a miner
named Sam Oolyer , with whom she la
now living. Not long eincu Mra. Ool
yer waa aorvod with a notice that suit
haa been entered against "Governor"
Brlgga1 eatato by hia wife and heirs ,
which waa the first she know of her
former husband having another wifo.
She placnd her case In the hands of E
Gan. Browno. Judge Yonlqy
represents the Interests cf the heirs ,
and thus the matter roots.
A visit waa paid Mra. Oolyor last
night , and from her the Btory was
learned. She la an old , withered ,
raw-boned English woman , about 70
years of age , but halo and hearty , and
blda fair to bo a century old. She la
chatty , and apoaka with a strong
cockney accent. She aatd that
ahe and "Governor" Brlggs were
lawfully married , and that ahe was
always a true and loving wife to him ;
that she worked hard while living
with him , and accumulated money
enough to buy the property In dis
pute. When they Orat carao to Denver -
ver her aorvlcea aa a nurse were In de
mand , aud she made $10 a day , right
along , not only made but saved
It. The "governor" bought the property
porty In bia own name , but aho fur
nished the money , and It belonged to
her bfiforo her husband willed It to
her. She said she knew her husband
bad boon married , but did not know
ho had a living wifo. The children
were all Mormons , and Rnseoll Brlgga ,
the youngest , they had t dacatod as a
lawyer. It was ho who Instigated the
suit and Induced his mother , sisters
and two brothers to join him In trying
io oust her from her own ,
Since the "Governor's" death she
had learned a great deal about his first
wifo. She was a Mormon preacher ,
and was engaged by the Mormon
church to preach tholr faith. She
waa b'.iad and had to bo led around ,
but vas a sharp and Intelligent wo-
mm. Four of the boys are dead.
The two girls are married , as are the
three remaining bovs , and all have
grown children. Mrs. Colyor nays
she prefers to fight for her right * , and
It Is hardly probable that eho will ba
ousted from her possession , Her
present husband , Mr. Colynr , aold ara
mlno n f w days ago fr ? 12COO , and
sayn ho docan't care what they do , an
he has enough to take care of hlirnolf
- and wife until they dlo.
Mra. Oolyor Is supposed to bo very
wealthy. She derives a largo Income
, from her rents , and besides la n
' money lender , or usurer. She haa
; thousands of dollars worth of notes ,
and It is reported she has money
stored in every crack and orovlco of
her rooms , which are scantily , oven
shabbily , furnished. But as she Is i ala
woman with primitive tautes , she later
probable bettor satisfied with her
apartments than many others are who
- have luxurious rooms and no money ]
I to gratify tholr tastes. A grandson ol
the "governor" la slopping wllh her ,
tnd the old woman seems to bo quite

"Cooper came to Btltlmoro with an
odd looking coutrlvanco called astoatn

was about the same diameter , but not
moro than half the height , and had a
smokestack that looked like an ai ra ;

locomotive for railway purposes built
In America , and drew the first passenger

any railway in the world. "
This locomotive waa beaten by a

that had slipped , Mr. Cooper lacor&tod
hia hand. The locomotive waa unsat
isfactory i , and premiums were ofiorod
for others. Mr. Phlnoaa Davla , master
of machinery of the road , had ono
built at York , L'a. , which weighed two
and one-half tons , and waa found too
light. 1 The two othora were built by
Roodor , at Hughes' quay on the south
aldo of the harbor , but didn't amount
to anything. Then Mr. Davla design
ed the Arabian. The engine waa built
at the company's shops , under the
supervision of Ita designer. It wont
Into 1 Borvloo Juno , 1834 It has boon
carefully taken care of and repaired ,
and with very llttlo difference , la pro-
clsoly the same onglno that It waa
forty-nlno i years ago. It IB claimed
to t bo the oldest effective locomotive
onglno In the United States and per
haps 1 In the world. It IB a geared
engine , having a vertical cylinder with
walklng-boam. It has four driving
wheels , each SO inches tn diameter , or
nearly one-half the size of the drivers
used i on modern passenger locomo
tives. I The weight of tha Arabian la
13 tons , about one-third that of thu
modern locomotive. Its tractive
power \ Is 0,000 pounds. It used to have
fans I connected v/lth the exhaust , but
those became broken , and no attempt
hao boon made to restore them.
With this exception it Is
the same onglno aa when first
nndo. It la In active sorvlco at
the Mount Glare yards , and works as
well now as when first put on the
road. It was for many yuara a pan-
Hunger onglno , drawing trains on both
the Washington brnuon and the main
atom. So far ns could bo learned It
had never mot with an accident , never
jumped n rail or run ofT the track ,
with ono exception. That exception
waa a nitablo ono. Bjforo It was
finished Mr. Davis promised tno work-
men engaged In the shops , some 300 ,
to take them and their families on the
train drawn by the Arabian aa far aa
It wont , then to go to Washington and
have dinner at Brown'a ( now
the Metropolitan ) hotel. The
WaBhlngtou branch was then
opened nearly to Bladonaburg. The
trip was made , Wm. Duff being the
engineer. Just west of Jossup'sOot ,
thirteen nnd a half miles this sldo of
Baltimore , the Arabian ran off the
track. Mr. Davis was Hitting with
Mr. Duff when the accident occurred.
The engine rolled on Its aldo. Neither
Duff nor anybody else on the train
wan hart , oven In the least , bat Mr.
Davis. Ho was kllloJ. TheroBoomod
to bo a special fate In the matter. No
body could over tell why the Arabian
ran off the track. There was no evi
dence over shown , although the full Iy
est Investigation was made , that any
cause oxlatod to throw II off. As the
Uulloak proas , which , the first time Itd
was put to work.caught Ita inventor and
printed him into Its first Impression ,
10 the Arabian on Its first trip , killed
its designer and maker. An Imagina dI
tive man , gifted with a little supersti Iin
tion , might think that matter had boon
Imbued with intelligence that resented
Its creation thna fiercely on Its creator.
The Arabian will be engineered to
Chicago by Mr. Thomas Galloway ,
The Chlcagoans will thus BOO the old- [
oat effective locomotive onglno in the
world run by the oldoit railway en i-
gineer , an incident in railway history
that deserves a moro Uitlrg record
tian that of a newspaper article.
A largo number of depositions have re-
ently been taken at Davenport In a pat-
nt Infringement case between Adams
Vestlnke , the oil stove manufacture nnd
J. I. Uathbone , of Albrny. It Is shown
iy the evidence that Uavcnpoit was the
first city in which an oil stove was con-
tructed.
