We do not exactly understand Mr.. John
SENS alloeutiOn to the Police Board last
night, as published In our local columns. He
so thoroughly that he puts out as an aphOr-
ism that "the reporter should confine himself
always to the official record otherwise zoe mill
hare TO be careful about rhdt zoe sag" AS to
the first part Of tho sentence we do not agree
with Mr.. johnson. A public official s remarks
at public meeting belong to the people, and
q reporter who does his duty is bound to pub
lsh them. As to public official being care
ful about what he says, we concur
entirely with Mr.. JOhnsen. In factI we
think that whenever an officer of the Police
Board or any other official makes remark in
public hsonght,to be very careful about what
he says, and Is accountable for IT, Our re-
nGfter, as Mr.. johnson says, inferred por-
ton of the report of the committee; 1t was
only incidental remarks, and we speak freely
among ourselves" we suppose,
that his remarks outside of the official report
were not to be counted. This reminds us OF
the duel between the thin man and the fat
man. The seconds made mark on the fat
mans body equal to the size Of his lean an
tagonist, and it was understood that every
shot that struck outside of that mark
would not count. And so it isl
with Mr.. johnson; all that he says in the Off
eial report is deadly but outside Of that limit
none of the shots ought to count. We want it
to be distinctly understood that when we
make an error we will always oheerfully cor
rect it, but If we print something true outside
of the record" it does count, and we can
not stand any censure about it.

Fashion Notes.

The "Ombrelle duchesse' is one ofthe --latest
| styles of umbrellas
| Sleeves in the latest imported dresses are
made larger than usual.
The Greek fillet with its fringe of golden sc.
| quins, is favorite head dress.
Splindid gold finger rings bearing tiny
coins, are among the latest novelties.
The soft willow feathers tipped with gold
are intended only for young ladies' hats.
Whole suits are shown of new ribbon ma
terial comprising skirt, oyerskirt and sacque
Old-fashioned steel bead satchels are again
worn as chatelaines, in rivalry of the velvet
pockets.
Light transparent linen woven in crape-lixe
patterns is made up in polonaises, which are
worn over silk and velvet underskirts.
Dressy round hats turned up only on one
side and the whole brim is faced with gold
braid, or with occasional rows of silver braid.
Summer figures for ladies' princess morning
robes and for children's dresses, are striped
or else figured like old-fashioned brilliantes.
Leghorn hats of the deepest yellow tints are
in the regular Vatican shapes, with the brim
indented at each side as well as on front and
behind.
Blondes have had their day, with pale and
delicate colors in dress; now it would seem
they are entirely ignored, while brunettes rev.
ell in deep and decided colors.
The linen collars worn by young girls are
turned down all around, and are about two
inches wide. They are trying to dark COM
plexions, and make any face look older.
Short sleeves are being much worn, there is
an increasing demand for bracelets, and they
are shown in innumerabe designs. One very
handsome and new design is a slender hoop
of gold, holding a horseshoe set with tur-
quoise.
The summer fashions in gloves number
quite an array of pretty novelties. For full
dress there are certainly six different kinds
of gloves-kids long and short: mits OF lace,
and ffNF1nr atrlO gloves
fingers. All colors are given.
Byzantine dresses furnished by the modistes
are made over silk lining. For deep mourn
ing, such as is worn for a parent, they have
long polonaises with straight pleats behind
and no looping. A wide band of Grape laid
over silk foundation, muslin borders the gar
ment; the waist is trimmed straight down the
front and back with Grape, and the high col
lar and broad cuffs are also Of Grape, though
finished with frill of white creepe lissee.

Yellow Fever.

The spread and ravages of the yellow

measures of relief for the plague stricken
cities and towns of the South. Itwas decided
to give every possible aid to the afflicted

Buried Alive,

An instance Of the surprising length of
time which dog can survive without
sustenance of any kind whatever was
shown the other day, when fox-terrier
was suddenly missed BY its owner, resid-
ing in TIE Dupar District, says Once a
Week. Being dog of considerable val
ne, means of every description were re-
sorted TO that might lead 10 its recovery !;
but all efforts proved fruitless until the
sixth day after its disappearance, when it
was suggested that the dog might have
entered fox-hole that was known to be
near, and been unable to make its way
out again The idea was at once acted
upon, and spades were called into requsi-
sition, but it was not until the next Cay,
when a large amount of earth had been
removed, that the unfortunate animal
was discovered, moaning pitifully, andi in
a much exhausted condition. 1t was ev
ident that its exit had been impeded by
the fall of some earth near the entrance,
and thus for seven days it had existed
without food.
