JOHN MORSE FIELD ARRESTED.

The Pitlable Condition of the One Time
Milli ziaire.

NEW YORK, Dec. 19. —Jchn Morse Field,
who gave his address as 300 West Forty—
sixth street, was arraign- ‘oday before
Magistrate Wentworth, i: s Yorkville
police court, charged with intoxication.
He says he is a relative 01" the late Cyrus
W. Field.

James M. Connaughton, the family’s
lawyer, appeared in behalf of the prisoner
and explained that he was not in his right
mind, and Magistrate Wentworth dis-
charged him from custody. ~

Field has not regained his fortune since
the breaking up of the firm in which he
and various members of the family were
interested, and which failed for $3, 000, 000
three years a go

Field was an ested at the stables of the
green cross town our line, at the foot of
West Forty-second street, by Policeman
Pigott yesterday afternoon. He was talk-
ing loudly and gesticulating violently,
and the policeman took him in custody
under the impression that he was a crank.
He was taken to the West Forty-seventh
street station‘ house, and then for the first
time he made known who he was.

When arraigned in court today, his ap-
pearance excited general sympathy. His
face and hands were grimy, and he shiv-
ered as if with an ague. He gave his age
as 41 years and said he lived at 300 West
Forty-sixth street.

Mr. Connaughton told Magistrate Went-
worth that Field had been declining, phys-
ically and mentally, since the firm with
which he had. been connected failed.

Field had nothing to say in self defense.
The magistrate discharged him in custody
of his counsel. Field was in the same
court on the same charge three weeks ago
and was discharged at that time.

He was dressed in a corduroy suit, with
a reefer jacket belted with the same sort
of stufi‘ at the waist. He went away with

TH: TONIC FASHIONS.

---¢—.-—-——

;

SS1 105 that are Most Invigorating to Fem
inine Minds.

Fashion in the guise’ of a mind ton
ic is really refreshing. Some wise'stu-
dent of this frivolous subject has dis-
covered the fact that new fashions are
unquestionably invigorating to the
feminine mind, a wholesome stimulus

them up twice a yearand renew theil
youth, and the more decided the
change in modes the more beneficia.
is the effect. The consciousness 01
being well dressed in the latest fash-
ion does wonders for the ave1age we

man, while the reveise condition is
an unfailing sou1ce of annoyance; sc

tion Of dress that improves our 1111111-
ners as well as our locks.

 

Black satin and velvet ribbons ll
various widths are used in great quan-

. tities for dress trimmings this season.

and they trim the skirts and decorate
the bolero jackets and vests either
sewn on plain or plaited into a frill.
They form the wide belts so much
wo1'11,.and are made into bows and
rosettes without number.’ Fur is very
extensively used as a dress trimming.
and it is quite as fashionable on even-
ing gowns and tea gowns as it is on
cloth costumes for the street. Narrow
bands of sable with a finish of beaded
trimming on one side are set in rows
across the front breadths of velvet
and cloth gowns and around the bot-
tom of the skirt, and trim the bod-
iccs, being set on up and down with
cream lace insertion between to form
the blouse or vest front of a cloth
bodice. Bands Of ermine and sable
rim some of the brocaded silk evening

around the skirt, one being on the
bottom, and the combination of
cream lace and sable is always effect-
ive wherever it is used. Little bolero
fronts of fur are worn 011 both house
and street gowns, and wide belts of
fur are one of the extreme fancies oc-
casionally seen, but it is not at all
pretty 01' becoming to the figure. The
prettiest novelties in fur are shown

collarcttes made up in a variety of
shapes combined with lace and velvet
in such a way that odds and ends of
fur can be utilized and made won-
drously becoming. Another use for
small bits of fur is on the revers of'
cloth gowns. Sable is always good
style, and chinchilla is very pretty on
black, green or blue. Fur. on thin
gauZy materials is one of the incon-
gruous combinations this season, but
it is very effective all the same, and
a pretty example of its use is on a
rose 'colored chiffon gown made over
rose silk. Small bolero fronts of er-
mine decorate the bodice- and a frill
of cream lace trims it around the edge.

w as a scene of great excitement short- '

l‘y befOIe 6 o'clock Saturday evening,
‘fvhen Ticket Agent Graves and the
train crew of No. 101 attempted to un-
load a blooded merino ram, whichrhad
been shipped there to a sheep fancier.

The ram was in a stout _,_c1'ate,.and
also in a tremendous rag-e. [No sooner
had the crate touched the ground than
with a bound the ram knocked'one
end out and instantly assailed every
one in sight. The crew took refuge
on" the cars, while Graves bolted f01
the semaphore pole. As he placed his
hand against the pole and started to
climb the ladder the beast lunged
against the pole, catching Gruvcs‘s
left hand between its 111*: (l and the
heavy timber, cru s‘iug his 1111 gtrs hor-

Eyelashes Made to Order.

In a fashionable huir-drcssi11g pyr-
lor 011 one of the down-town streets
one reads the Sign: “Eyelashes made
to ordcrfi’ ’

“I do not know that there is any-
thing particula'rly novel about it,” said
the blonde “young woman, who was
asked for information. ‘g‘We have done
this so.t of work for months.”

“ And have you many patrons in that
line?”

“Not so many as we have in the oth-
er bianch of our business, the removal
of hair or wrinklesmy means of elec-
tricity, but still we have some.”

And then she explained the process
of making artificial eyelashes. An ex-
ceedingly delicate little instrument is
used. It consists of a needle operated
through a spring by means of the
finger. At one end of the needle is a
hair inserted. .When the operator is
ready to work on the person she takes
the ,eyelid between two fingers of the

left hand. The needle is then thrust.

into the fleshy part of the eyelid, as
close to the eye as possible, and the
tiny hairs are actually sewed 011.

Eyelashes thus manufactured are
warranted to last two weeks without
repair. Of course, the process hurts
the patient, but what woman will not
willingly submit to suffering to retain
her beauty and her powers to charm ?—

“Well, so did I until the last few
months,” returned Smith, “but I’ve
found a‘better scheme than that, and
as you live several blocks away from

“What do you do, tip. the regular blue

An extraordinary photograph is that
taken a few days ago of the execution
cf :1 Seminole Indian in the Indian Ter-
ritory. This is a picture which shows
a man at the instant of his death.

Death in this instance was almost as
quick as the camera, for the man was
shot in the heart, and died, as it is
said, “instantly.” The method of exe-
cution was peculiar.

The prisoner, who had, been 'con~
dcmned for murder, was taken out to
the foot of a tree and seated upon a
small rock. A large, white heart had
been cut from some calic‘o, and this
had been carefully stitched upon his
coat just over the heart. ' ..

This made an unmistakable mark for
the exccutioners to fire at. There is
no other photograph of this kind in ex-

istence, for pictures of death scenes

are rare.

 

A Mine, 011 Fire for Twelve Years.

A question referred to Attorney-Gen-
eral Monett by Mine Inspector Hascl-
tine discloses a remarkable situation.
Twelve years ago, during. the great
miners’ strike, mine 139, at New
Straitsvillc, owned by John Elliot of
Zancsville and operated by the Great
Vein Coal Company, was fired. It'was
afterward abandoned. Recently the
discovery was made that the coal has
been burnng all these years, and
threatens, unless extinguished, not
only to communicate to other mines,
but to let many houses drop through
the roof. As real estate is already low
enough in that vicinity, the land own-
ers object to the threatened collapse.
Elliot, the owner of the mine, will be
asked to put out the fire, and in case
of refusal will be prosecuted—St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
