A LA MODE. '■ -- -- The style still largely prevails of UBing black with color. The importation of fancy velvets and French velours is uncommonly large this autumn. Coats, jackets and capes look best with the collar cut in one with the garment— that is, without any seam at the neck. This method gives a certain grace and an appearance of length. One of the attractive autumn fabrics is the Rochemont weave—a fine wool rep, with dots of silk of another color and which, though of pure wool, is re- markable for its lightness. It is used for both gowns aud dress trimillings. Handsome fur trimmings of sable, mink or marten tails, hanging like deep fringe from yokes or rounded cape col- lars of Russia velours or silk velvet, overlaid with costly silk appliques or heavy guipure lace, are to be worn. A new and stylish French walking coat in Louis XVI style is rounded and much cut away on the fronts and has two underarm darts which extend down over the hips. The coat fits as closely to the figure as a French riding habit. Black and colored moire petticoats trimmed with frills and flounces of the watered fabric and faced up a third of Its length with silk covered haircloth are an autumn device for keeping the dress skirt well flared around its lower portion. At present there seems not the slight- *s indication that skirts will be shorn of their popular djp or sweep at the back. French designers affirm that the demi- train will remain in vogue just as long as the long stately cloaks with the wide flounced borders and three-quarter coats. One of the latest shapes in erratic millinery is called the Spanish turban. It is almost an exact reproduction of the headgear worn by Spaniards. The brim is turned up all around and edged with crumpled velvet. The trimmings consist of large velvet bows, a brilliant redbird and a large sparkling rhinestone buckle. —New York Post. POULTRY POINTERS. Small flocks well cared for give the best results. If the hens are too fat, change the ra- tions for a time. Too much soft retd is detrimental. The fowls need some employment for the giz- zard. Breed the flesh formers for market. Plump poultry is what the market de- mands. To keep up the vigor and fecundity of the flocks new blood must be infused from time to time. While inbreeding has its objects, they are more for the fancier than for the practical poultryman. The man who cannot make a dozen hens pay a fair profit will not succeed with a larger number. The best remedy for overfatness is ex- ercise. The more active the fowl the less danger from that source. Females that are 2 years old make the best breeders. They may not lay quite so mauy eggs, but a larger per cent will hatch, and more vigorous birds will come from them. Once a hen learns to eat eggs she rare- ly if ever forgets the tricfe. The best plan is to kill before he other fowls learn the habit. Gather the eggs frequently and thus in a measure prevent the tempta- tion. One advantage in supplying plenty of grit is that the food, being better masti- cated, is better digested, and the result W better health and more eggs. Keep a supply where the fowls can help them- selves.—St. Louis Republic. RECENT INVENTIONS. An improved automatic bicycle pump is clamped directly to the center of the hub, with a lever at one end which en- gages an adjustable screw at every revo- lution of the wheel to operate a piston and force the air into the tire. A Kansas inventor has designed a new form of wind wheel, having horizontal rods arranged radially from a vertical shaft, with a pair of partially folding wings on each rod which open when moved with wind and close when going against it. To give an alarm when the speed of motor cars is too great a small dynamo is used to generate power, with an ar- mature set to rescind at a predetermin- ed speed of the dynamo, ringing an elec- tric bell as soon as the abnormal speed is leached. Clothespins are always handy for use in a now receptacle formed of a cloth sack \.,.h a ling at the mouth to hold it open, the holder being suspended on the line l y a wire bracket, which allows it to slide along within easy reach of each garment.

General Gataere Will Prevent an Attack on General Methtieu’s Force. London, Nov, 21.—The reports of heavy fighting at Ladysmith last Wed- nesday have not been confirmed. On the contrary, the most reliable advices from Estcourt indicate that there was nothing more than a desultory can- nonade. Probably the rumor of a serious engagement grew out of the fact that the Boers threw a few harm- less shells late Tuesday night, leading to the supposition that an attack was imminent. Nothing, however, hap- pened Wednesday. A Ladysmith dispatch, sent by a ! runner to Estcourt, says: “All is well I here, with nothing important to re- ] port. We are amply supplied with am- ; munition and confident of our ability i to hold out. Information from outside is very scarce, but it is believed here that the Boers now investing the town are only a small force. Rain is ham- pering the Boer operations severely.” The Boer invasion of Cape Colony continues steadily and rapidly. There are 1,300 Boers at Colesberg, and news has reached East London that Lady Grey, near Aliwal North, has been deserted by the British and is now in the hands of the enemy. From Delagoa bay comes reports of the arrival of more German officers and artillerymen, who have volunteer- ed to serve with the Transvaal forces. The plan of operations on both sides is slowly unfolding itself. General Joubert is evidently moving south to GEN. SIR W. F. GATACRE. prevent, if possible, the junction of the British relieving force with the forces at Estcourt and Ladysmith, while on the Orange river border the Boers are believed to be concentrating at Donkerpoort to oppose General Bul- ler’s advance. It is said 6,000 Boers have already laagered at Donkers- poort. The English plan seems to be a threefold advance from Durban to Ladysmith, from Orance river to Kim- berley and from East London, by way of Queenstown, to Burghersdorp. General Gatacre will be able to keep the Boers on the Orange border suf- ficiently occupied to preserve General Methuen from undue molestation, es- pecially if rumors from various sources are well founded that describe the Free State burghers as in nowise enthusi- astic for fighting. Although Kimberley is supposed to be the objective of General Methuen, many military critics are of the opin- ion that his advance will be not to- ward Kimberley, but across the Orange Free State, in order to secure com- plete command of the Orange river. Three Tteglments Off For Manila. San Francisco, Nov. 21.—The trans- ports Hancock and City of Puebla sail- ed last night for Manila via Honolulu.

Fleming, the Princess Anne county magistrate who last Thursday shot and killed young Clarence L. Snyder, while the latter, accompanied by a friend, wa3 returning to this city from a hunt, yesterday killed one of a party who attempted to lynch him. i Fleming has turned his bouse into an arsenal, and every night friends stay there with him. Sunday night a mob of about 50 men quietly took a position behind an outbuilding In the yard and waited for Fleming to ap- pear. At 3 o’clock yesterday morn- ing a shot rang out sharply, and was followed by several hundred from the other side of the residence, which was punctured both inside and out by bul- ; lets. After the smoke of battle cleared away Fleming emerged to find a man ; dead in his yard. Nothing was seen or heard of the attacking party, which had departed. The man was sockIes3, shirtless, about 45 years old, and evi- dently a stranger. His gun was empty, and beyond a small blank book, with the name “Gilmore” within on a leaf, he had no effects. One theory is that this man was a tramp who was ap- proaching to so'icit assistance. Pub- lic opinion exonerates Fleming from blame in defending his home, but it Is rumored that a large number of Snyder’s friends have registered a vow to kill Fleming. A CHARGE AND A DENIAL Alleged That Colonel Metcalf Shot a Supplicating Filipino Prisoner. Topeka, Kan., Nov. 21.—Lieutenant Hall, of Lawrence, formerly of the Twentieth Kansas regiment, in a let- ter to the Topeka Journal, makes the charge that Colonel Metcalf, recently breveted brigadier general for gal- lantry in the Philippines, shot an un- armed and supplicating Filipino pris- oner, and in support of it furnishes af- fidavits of Private Husky, of the Twen- tieth Kansas, and First Lieutenant Ferguson, of the Thirty-sixth infantry. Elyria, O., Nov. 21.—Colonel Wilder Metcalf, accused by Lieutenant Hall of having shot a Filipino prisoner, was in this city last night, visiting old friends. He said he did not know what Lieutenant Hall referred to, and that he could not comprehend how he came to make any such statement unless it was due to the fact that the lieutenant was not recommended for promotion. He declared the charge absolutely false.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHiAS. Unwise Soliciting For Membership, Pi nine Tips. “There are localities, there are lodges, where the sole attraction that is offered to induce the stranger to come within our portals is this—weekly and funeral benefits,” says Grand Chancellor Young of Ohio. The fellowship, .the associations and benefits of companionship with men such as should constitute the membership of our order are entirely lost sight of. The system of soliciting attracts to our order an element that is undesirable. It attracts to us a membership incapable of receiving a true conception of the real principles of Pythianism. The Iowa brigade, U. R., has 25 com- panies in good and regular standing. The next biennial convention of the su- I preme lodge aud encampment of the uni- form rank will be held in Detroit in Au- gust. A Knights of Pythias’ employment bu- reau has been organized in Brooklyn. The membership fee for lodges is $2. Myrtle Leaf lodge of New York city is a firm believer in the endowment rank.

Many of the members of the order sig- nify their intention of transferring their membership to the new table of rates. Twenty years ago the Order of Chosen Friends was established in Indianapolis. It was attended with a rapid growth and soon spread across the country. Since 1805, when the equalization plan was adopted and in consequence thereof 10,000 members left the order, the Cho- sen Friends has been steadily gaining ground and claims that it will yet prove the equalization plan the finest in Amer- ica.

  • A LA MODE. '■ -- --

    The style still largely prevails of UBing black with color.

    The importation of fancy velvets and French velours is uncommonly large this autumn.

    Coats, jackets and capes look best with the collar cut in one with the garment— that is, without any seam at the neck. This method gives a certain grace and an appearance of length.

    One of the attractive autumn fabrics is the Rochemont weave—a fine wool rep, with dots of silk of another color and which, though of pure wool, is re- markable for its lightness. It is used for both gowns aud dress trimillings.

    Handsome fur trimmings of sable, mink or marten tails, hanging like deep fringe from yokes or rounded cape col- lars of Russia velours or silk velvet, overlaid with costly silk appliques or heavy guipure lace, are to be worn.

    A new and stylish French walking coat in Louis XVI style is rounded and much cut away on the fronts and has two underarm darts which extend down over the hips. The coat fits as closely to the figure as a French riding habit.

    Black and colored moire petticoats trimmed with frills and flounces of the watered fabric and faced up a third of Its length with silk covered haircloth are an autumn device for keeping the dress skirt well flared around its lower portion.

    At present there seems not the slight- *s indication that skirts will be shorn of their popular djp or sweep at the back. French designers affirm that the demi- train will remain in vogue just as long as the long stately cloaks with the wide flounced borders and three-quarter coats.

    One of the latest shapes in erratic millinery is called the Spanish turban. It is almost an exact reproduction of the headgear worn by Spaniards. The brim is turned up all around and edged with crumpled velvet. The trimmings consist of large velvet bows, a brilliant redbird and a large sparkling rhinestone buckle. —New York Post.

    POULTRY POINTERS. Small flocks well cared for give the best

    results. If the hens are too fat, change the ra-

    tions for a time. Too much soft retd is detrimental. The

    fowls need some employment for the giz- zard.

    Breed the flesh formers for market. Plump poultry is what the market de- mands.

    To keep up the vigor and fecundity of the flocks new blood must be infused from time to time.

    While inbreeding has its objects, they are more for the fancier than for the practical poultryman.

    The man who cannot make a dozen hens pay a fair profit will not succeed with a larger number.

    The best remedy for overfatness is ex- ercise. The more active the fowl the less danger from that source.

    Females that are 2 years old make the best breeders. They may not lay quite so mauy eggs, but a larger per cent will hatch, and more vigorous birds will come from them.

    Once a hen learns to eat eggs she rare- ly if ever forgets the tricfe. The best plan is to kill before he other fowls learn the habit. Gather the eggs frequently and thus in a measure prevent the tempta- tion.

    One advantage in supplying plenty of grit is that the food, being better masti- cated, is better digested, and the result W better health and more eggs. Keep a supply where the fowls can help them- selves.—St. Louis Republic.

    RECENT INVENTIONS.

    An improved automatic bicycle pump is clamped directly to the center of the hub, with a lever at one end which en- gages an adjustable screw at every revo- lution of the wheel to operate a piston and force the air into the tire.

    A Kansas inventor has designed a new form of wind wheel, having horizontal rods arranged radially from a vertical shaft, with a pair of partially folding wings on each rod which open when moved with wind and close when going against it.

    To give an alarm when the speed of motor cars is too great a small dynamo is used to generate power, with an ar- mature set to rescind at a predetermin- ed speed of the dynamo, ringing an elec- tric bell as soon as the abnormal speed is leached.

    Clothespins are always handy for use in a now receptacle formed of a cloth sack \.,.h a ling at the mouth to hold it open, the holder being suspended on the line l y a wire bracket, which allows it to slide along within easy reach of each garment.

    THE BOEB_ Of Cape Colony Continues Steadily

    and Rapidly. ALL QUIET AT LADYSMITH.

    Well Supplied W 1th Ammunition and Confident of Ability to Hold Out. General Gataere Will Prevent an Attack on General Methtieu’s Force.

    London, Nov, 21.—The reports of heavy fighting at Ladysmith last Wed- nesday have not been confirmed. On the contrary, the most reliable advices from Estcourt indicate that there was nothing more than a desultory can- nonade. Probably the rumor of a serious engagement grew out of the fact that the Boers threw a few harm- less shells late Tuesday night, leading to the supposition that an attack was imminent. Nothing, however, hap- pened Wednesday.

    A Ladysmith dispatch, sent by a ! runner to Estcourt, says: “All is well I here, with nothing important to re- ] port. We are amply supplied with am- ; munition and confident of our ability i to hold out. Information from outside

    is very scarce, but it is believed here that the Boers now investing the town are only a small force. Rain is ham- pering the Boer operations severely.”

    The Boer invasion of Cape Colony continues steadily and rapidly. There are 1,300 Boers at Colesberg, and news has reached East London that Lady Grey, near Aliwal North, has been deserted by the British and is now in the hands of the enemy.

    From Delagoa bay comes reports of the arrival of more German officers and artillerymen, who have volunteer- ed to serve with the Transvaal forces.

    The plan of operations on both sides is slowly unfolding itself. General Joubert is evidently moving south to

    GEN. SIR W. F. GATACRE. prevent, if possible, the junction of the British relieving force with the forces at Estcourt and Ladysmith, while on the Orange river border the Boers are believed to be concentrating at Donkerpoort to oppose General Bul- ler’s advance. It is said 6,000 Boers have already laagered at Donkers- poort. The English plan seems to be a threefold advance from Durban to Ladysmith, from Orance river to Kim- berley and from East London, by way of Queenstown, to Burghersdorp.

    General Gatacre will be able to keep the Boers on the Orange border suf- ficiently occupied to preserve General Methuen from undue molestation, es- pecially if rumors from various sources are well founded that describe the Free State burghers as in nowise enthusi- astic for fighting.

    Although Kimberley is supposed to be the objective of General Methuen, many military critics are of the opin- ion that his advance will be not to- ward Kimberley, but across the Orange Free State, in order to secure com- plete command of the Orange river.

    Three Tteglments Off For Manila. San Francisco, Nov. 21.—The trans-

    STRANGER’S SAD DEATH. Evidently Unaware lie Wns Approach*

    Inn an Improvised Arsenal. Norfolk, Nov. 21.—Oscar G. Fleming,

    the Princess Anne county magistrate who last Thursday shot and killed young Clarence L. Snyder, while the latter, accompanied by a friend, wa3 returning to this city from a hunt, yesterday killed one of a party who attempted to lynch him.

    i Fleming has turned his bouse into an arsenal, and every night friends stay there with him. Sunday night a mob of about 50 men quietly took a position behind an outbuilding In the yard and waited for Fleming to ap- pear. At 3 o’clock yesterday morn- ing a shot rang out sharply, and was followed by several hundred from the other side of the residence, which was punctured both inside and out by bul-

    ; lets. After the smoke of battle cleared

    away Fleming emerged to find a man ; dead in his yard. Nothing was seen or heard of the attacking party, which had departed. The man was sockIes3, shirtless, about 45 years old, and evi- dently a stranger. His gun was empty, and beyond a small blank book, with the name “Gilmore” within on a leaf, he had no effects. One theory is that this man was a tramp who was ap- proaching to so'icit assistance. Pub- lic opinion exonerates Fleming from blame in defending his home, but it Is rumored that a large number of Snyder’s friends have registered a vow to kill Fleming.

    Elyria, O., Nov. 21.—Colonel Wilder Metcalf, accused by Lieutenant Hall of having shot a Filipino prisoner, was in this city last night, visiting old friends.
