New Millinery Styles.
No . 3.
After an absence of several weeks Mrs. Cheverton has returned and is now at her former place at La Mode. Mrs Cheverton was in Chicago a greater part of the time and there learned all about the late millinery styles. There are so many in variety of shape and color that it is almost impossible to give a general idea of what the new things are. Hats and bonnets are both much larger this year than last season and they are trimmed to profusion with feathers, flowers and braids.
Many of the new goods used by Merrill-Coverton purchased for La Mode while away have already arrived. The rest will come in inside the next few days. The new styles in the new colors are now to be seen at the store, but the fall opening will take place next Wednesday. Then it is the intention to show all the latest fall styles and pretty things in the millinery line.

At the Opera House.
The play last night was one of the most interesting that has been in town for a long time. From beginning to end it was full of laughter and fun and kept the audience roaring. The company deserves great credit for the rendition of the play last night and it serves as a good notice to theatre goers of the excellent entertainment provided by this company. They will be at the opera house the remainder of this week.
Lady Windermere's Fan,
No new play has been awaived with such peculiar interest as is attached to Oscar Wilde's famous comedy, "Lady windermere's Fan," which will have its First local production at the opera house Tuesday evening. It will be presented by Gustave Frohman's company. American theatre goers think better of Oscar Wilde after witnessing a performance of his wonderful and clever play, while following the perfect fusilade of epigrams which run through the piece, one forgets Wilde as the long-haired, short-trowered sunflower poet; no other living, dramatist has written in a single play so much exceptionally clever dialogue, and it cannot be argued that a crisp and brilliant dialogue is the only merit of the play. Mr. Wilde tells a strong story and unfolds a consistent plot, and the scene in the third act where the mother pleads with her daughter is one of the most intensely dramatic and deftly wrought scenes ever seen upon a stage.
The Chemical and Mineralogical Seminary.
The first meeting of the term was held on Thursday afternoon at 5. E. C. Franklin, in giving some account of the chemical department at John Hopkins University, told of the general organization of the institution and of the several departments. The work for the doctors degree is arranged to cover three years. One principal subject is chosen and two minor subjects. The work of investigation is carried on very systematically under the direction of Prof Remsen. He always has a large number of students working on three or four lines of research that he is steadily and persistently pushing forward, and the result in the aggregate is an immense addition to the sum of our knowledge on these subjects.
E. Haworth gave an interesting account of the work of the geological field work of the summer. Work has been begun in the extreme southeastern part of the state, and times have been run in various directions, carefully studying the stratigraphy, so that ultimately we shall be able to map the whole state. In connection with this, some work has been done on the soils of this region and samples of coal have been secured; these will all be studied at the University.
E. H. S. Bailey reported on the recent meeting of the American Chemical society which he attended at Brooklyn. After giving some facts in relation to the work of the association, he told of the valuable papers read at this meeting and of the exceptional opportunities that those had who attended for study of some special industries in the vicinity of New York, as excursions were made to many large manufactories.
G. I. Adams gave an account of his recent visit to a natural gas region, where he found that the deposit was only local, and the gas was "marsh gas," which was obtained by stirring up the soil.
The next meeting of the seminary will be held in two weeks at 5 o'clock instead of 5.
