The inomentOuS question whether or not the
order compelling ladies to appear in low necked
dresses at the receptions of the Princess Louise
Is TO stand, is still agitated. One of the Cana
dian papers calls the regulation :. tomfoolery,'
and another is led to remark that 1.-The idea OF
sensible ladies who do not choose to present
themselves at reception in their bare shoul-
deTs, being ordered TO arm themselves with a
doctors certificate Is too profoundly silly 10 be
funny. and too glaringly inSolent TO be toler-
ated.' This sounds dislOyal. but the death OF
Princess Alice, requiring the Princess Louise to
go into mourning. will probably put a stop to
the festivities in Canada and postpone for a
considerable time the settlement of the low
dress question.

Forming an opinion from the information
concerning European affairs derived from
Newspaper sources, one would be LETT in doubt
whether war between nations or internal war
between castles is first to be expected in the old
world. Indications plainly point to cOmbina-
Tons OF kings against kings; but the signs are no
less plain OF a struggle which may bring the rul-
ero tOgether in common action against socialism
The revolutionary spirit is in a flame all over
continental Europe. The successive attempts

revolution and its violent repression seem alike

The NEED OF A FRACTIONAL CCRRESCY.-A

tons OF twenty-five and fifty cents. A very
large number OF remttanceS OF this size for

Il too easily recognized in a letter, to be sent

The efforts OF Nashville, Tennessee, to reduce
her debt from six million 10 three million dol
lars by other methods than paying the three
million difference, have been, not unreasonably
opposed by the bOndholders OF the city. The
dispute has gone TO the courts. The readlusterS.
as they are termed, now propose TO ask the
legislature TO cancel the city's charter and
place its affairs in the hands OF a receiver for
settlement. Debt and hard times are powerful
motives to urge men TO avoid their Obligations

and those who stand manfully up 10 their agree

an explanation which the former
would not believe until he was

The play was The Orphan, and he
and Mrs. Barry were performing the
principal parts. Ii he was delight
