TERRIBLE Mortality In Philadelphia.
The official report shows that the deaths
in Philadelphia last week numbered s55
an increase over the week before of l39
and over the corresponding week last year
of 446. There were but fifteen deaths
from smallpox and of the whole number
more than half, (497, were children up-
der ten years of age. The mortality In
Philadelphia is perfectly frightful and it
is believed by many that 1t can be clearly
traced to the filthiness of the city. The
newspapers have been making an outcry
about this for months and VIC might say
years, but unfortunately their exposures
of the condition of affairs have not result
ed in any systematic resolute and contip-
ucd efforts to remedy the matter and the
people are now payinga frightful penalty
for their lazy Indifference resulting largely
from selfish absorption In their own affairs

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Star who has felt the necessity of a pro-

poses 'le' rs the word. Then instead of
saying almost any one may attain great
results if he or she is industrious we should
say almost any one may attain great re-
suits if lie is industrious. The additional
pronoun is undoubtedly needed and lie is
Just as good as any word If il could be

SOCIETY AND FASHION,

Opera hats are now made mostly OF
satin.
A watch-chain and locllet are out of
place for full dress.
Large pearls are the correct thing in
shirt-studs for full dress.
One inch square is the largest admis-
sible center of lace handkerchief.
Ladies umbrellas are now made with
n gilt ring on the ferule to fasten to the
waist-belt.
The most popular round hat of the
season is modelled after a Spanish bull
fighters helmet.
Ladies are wearing regular dickies,
stand-up collars, and scarfs tied sailor
knot, on the street.
Young ladies are now wearing their
sash ribbons tied on the right side of
their waist instead of at the back as
heretofore.
Pale amber is the fashionable color
i'll kid gloves. Castor gloves are the
proper thing for gentlemen s walking
dress: undresscd kids for ladies'.
In the bracelet line plain bands of
dead gold are much in favor. They
fasten with small button, in imitation
of shirt-cuff, and are unique, but ex-
pensive.
Neckties Of very gay colors are once
more fashionable. The war between
black and white neckties for full dress
continues 10 rage, the whites having
rather the best of it.
Travelling suits are now mado-as
they We're some years amo-of navy blue
cloth, made with long relingotc3, but
toned down the front with two rows OF
oridized silver buttons.
White corduroy jackets, trimmed
with black velvet, are quite in favor for
housewear among our fashionable youn !.
ladies. They are stylish and, as n gen
cral thing, very becoming.
The very latest style of coflure is
made OF the natural hair twisted OH the
top of the head in flat knot, from
which depend two long and somewhat
strmSy rinSless, also presumably natu-
raj.
The queerest set of jewelry that has
appeared in New York this season con
slsts OF earrings and breast-pin made
of coral, deliberately carved to repre-
sent the poetical creature, boiled lob
ster.
Double-breasted jackets-similar to
those worn last winter-will be fashion
able among our Beau Brummels once
more. Those of heavy cloth are pre-
ferred, rs they are sufficiently thick to
do away with overcoats.
Embroidered silk costumes are very
fashionable this fall, the overskirt and
underskirt being completely covered
with the finest embroidery done by
hand. These costumes are very rich
and stylish. suitable for the street, as
we'll as for dinner or reception dress.
