FAsHIONARLE INDECENCIEs.

A fashion writer in the Hornet says:
"When the skirt is made up, be sure and
have it made perfectly tight-htting all
round, as Overdresses rebeing made so ex-
tremely tight that the least possible space
is left for underskirts. 1t is fortunate that
there are no cutters now in the Paris
streets, or we should be scarcely able to
step over them. Where this tightening
mania will stop, / cannot tell. In the
meantime, ladies present rather curious
effect with all the dresses tied so tightly
back, and the trains of their skirt
hanging over the arms. From the
front especially when the dresses are light
colored) the shapes are most plainly seen
too plainly, sometimes, when the figure Is
over full. 1t is impossible now, also, for
ladies to conceal either their perfections or
imperfections; and young mOthers-to-be
loudly complain of Madame la Modes
tyranny in this respect. 'MGdGRe la MOde?

that is no doubt why these occasional In

he tries the effect of his fashions on nodded

are not equally modelled. That is not hi:
fault. If he could, he would have all womeI
beautiful and sans pelT before his fashions
But, as he can not do that, he invents M
fashions for the lovely in shape and form

CHICAGO. Oct. 3O.-The announcement
was made in the Ecening Journal tonight
that Hon. James Medill, one of the founders
of the Chicago Tribune, had purchased a
sufficient amount of stock in the company,
added to what he already held, to give him
a controlling interest, and that he would
assume en- ire control of the paper at an
early day. An interview shows the state
ment to be correct. As Is generally known
Mr.. Medill withdrew from the management
of the paper some four years ago. He now
purchases of Horace White all Of his stock
in the Tribune except minor portion
which he will retain at present as an IL
vestment. Mr.. White will 60 TO Europe
with the hope of recruiting his health,
which has been considerably impaired by
the severe labor of the past four years.
As to the political status of the paper
hereafter, Mr.. Medill declares his intention
is TO put it back into the position it SO long
occupied while under his management
that of the exponent of the principles OF
the Republican party, and a defender of all
its measures, based upon those principles,
while at the same time reServing the right
to freely criticise, and refusing to become
the organ of any clique, or any man, NJ
matter how high his position. He express
es firm belief that the Republican party
will continue to hold the balance of pow
er, and control the country, and that any
errors or faults of the party may and should
be rectifed in the party.
In reply to question as to his opinion
on the third term question, Mr.. Medill said
he did not believe that President Grant
had ever had the slightest idea Of again be
coming a candidate, and all the third term
talk originated, and has its only fOunda-
ton, in the enterprise of newspapers de
sirous of filling their columns and creating
| a sensation.
The original stock of the Tribune Com
pany is 200 shares at 81 900 per share. l
is stated that Mr.. Medill paid $500, 600 fo
sixty shares, or at the rate of 5000 pc
share, and that he now holds three-fifths o
the entire stock.

of smoke poured out of the shaft. The

safely. Half an hour after the fire broke
out, the flames burst out of the main shaft
