Fashion Notes.

Feather trimmings are again very
popular.
Kerchiefs arc made of net rather than
of null for wiuter wear.
Some OF the new jersey polonaises are
laced down the back.
Plaid must be waning in favor. II
is made up crosswise for skirts.
The Quaker dress, fashioned in
America, is now adopted in Paris.
The size of tournures is decidedly less
exaggerated than the fashion prophets
made them early in the autumn.
Gowns of black silk and brocadc are
almost invariably frightened either
with jet or with cashmere beads.
Very fashionable walking suits are
made of shepherds plaid, in the colors,
com bined with plain dark color.
Cloth jackets matching the costume.
or of cream -colored material, are very
stylishly trimmed with push, which is
used for hood, collar, cuffs and mufl.
The richest and most effective hoods
are Of black velvet or silk, densely COW
cred with sparkling jet ornaments and
appliques, and finished at the point Of
the hood in the back with handsome jet
cords and pendants.
FlCece-lined pique, which is so priced
by mothers who dress their children in
white all winter, comes in better quail
ties this season than ever before. The
Marseilles fabric is stouter, and the
back has warm, heavy fleece like Can
ton flannel. The figures are in flower
and leaf brocades, instead of diamonds
and honcycombs. and the goods are also
suitable and pretty for chiidren's cloaks
AS well as for dresses. Very little trim
ming is needed with these suits.
Walking dresses o! cloth are very
fashionable. Very stylish and elegantly
fitting polonaises are also made of this
material, and draped over underskirts
OF plush or velvet. Many of the new
over dresses arc untrimmed; some are
trimmed with extra wide bands of fur
or plush. A few of the earlier importa-
tions of costumes of cloth were heavily
! trimmed, but there seems to he n reac
tion setting in, and plain unadorned
slightly looped dresses are considered
most distinguished looking,
The "Claudia" is "A name given to a
high stylish bonnet for young faces. 1t
| il modelled somewhat like n Greek cap,
with hirh shirrcd crown and n fall of
rich lace over the hair, and strings to tie
under the chin. A very pretty capote is
made of pale blue plush, trimmed with
| cream. colored lace. and cream white
ostrich tips. Another style, very simple
and becoming, resembles the hats worn
by the French cuirassiers, and is called
the Zelda" The Gypsy hat for girls
is like modified yoke" bonnet. and
is tied down at the sides in the way the
seaside hats were worn in the sum

A Prudent Constable.

Mr.. Elijah Hitchcock was a Connecti-
cut constable, whose character was
under scrutiny. Deacon Solomon Ris-
ing was inquired of about him.

questioner, do you think Mr.. Hitch
cock is an honest manP"
Very promptly" no, sir! Not by
any means"
well, do you think he is a mean
man7"
"Well, with regard to that" said the
deacon, little more deliberately, 81
may say that don't really think he is a
mean man; I've sometimes thought he
was what you might call keeriul--a
prudent man."

the old Widow Witter. back here, and
he went up TO her house and levied on 4

Stones ron Public HixAw.xs.

A single loose stone, which might be
thrown out in two seconds is sometimes
struck by wagon wheels fifty times a
day, or more than 10000 times year.
Ten thousand blows Of a sledge hammer
as hard on one wagon would probably
demolish it entirely, and the stone does
no less harm because it divides its blows
among hundred vehicles. There is.
therefore, probably no investment that
would pay Il higher rate of profit than a
few dollars worth Of work in clearing
public highways Of loose and fixed
stones. .-FrGcticaL FarDer

Nearer the great Atlantic cities the
profit of bee raising is very large, espe-
cially since 1878, when the first success
ful attempt was made to carry American
honey in the comb to England. 1t in
volved good deal of mechanical skill
and patient experiment to pack the
combs in large masses so that the motion
off the steamer would MT break them.
But the riddle was solved at last, and
the new honey sold in the London mar
kets mt as high n price rs the Greek. 1t
added another item to the long list OF
food supplies with which we have begun
to feed the old world and 10 enrich our
selves.
There is no reason, why the industrious
daughters of farmers should not better
their fortunes by this easy means. They
must remember. however. that bee rails
ing, like every other business, requires
intelligence, patience and long, careful
study. 1t has risen almost to tine art
in some places. Mr.. ID. A. Jones, n men,
Der of the Canadian parliament, for in
stance, made journey to Cyprus and
Syria to procure queen bees of certain
fine breeds. So great was the difficulty
OF securing these in Arabia and near the
Red sea that he estimates the cost OF
each bee Mt over 800. But this may be
called fancy stock raising. Our young
girls will coniine their ambition to a
homelier pursuit of the business

in connection with the ire apparatus,
but the water WAS frozen and their
efforts were useless; the flames, famed
by the high wind, SWEPT through the
mammoth structure, licking up every
thing, and half an hour from the time the
fire was first discovered the beautiful
structure was a mass Of ruins. The
building was 4S0 feet long and con-
structed in Moorish style. The entire
loss is 500, 900, upon which there is no
insurance. The conservatory was only
a little distance from the residence,
which is unburned. Gould only pur-
chased the property little over year
ago, and paid about $3.50, 900 for it.
1t is understood that more elegant
building will replace the one just
burned.

Cincinnati, Dec. ll.-At half pas.
five O'Clock this evening the most trag-
ieal fire in the histoy Of Cincinnati was
discovered in the dry house of John T..
Gays bucket factory, on New and Gull
vert streets, near the foot Of Mount
Adams. The dry house was two sto-
ries high, the main building was saved
by the dry house being destroyed. The
next dry house was four story build
ing, owned by Gay and occupied by the
Crown manufacturing company, who
make kindling wood and window orna-
ments. In it were stored large quanti-
ties OF inflammablc material. The
flames soon laid hold of this building,
commencing on the ground floor. The
first in Importance and foremost in the
interest of the people is the loss Of life
in this building. The nearest fire COM
pany to these building was No. 4. This
company was the first on the ground
and the first 10 enter the second story
Of the Crown manufacturing company's
building. Their object was to fight the
fire raging on the ground door by send
ing streams down shute and down the
stairways to arrest its progress. They
were standing around the shute sending
a stream down, when suddenly, as if
shot from cannon, u burst of scorch-
ing air and binding smoke, mingled
with flames, broke up with lightning
suddenness through the shute. Those
who got out can hardly ;c'l how they
escaped. AL five of the victims We. E

Pensacola, Fla, Dec. 1l.-Nine-
tenths OF the business portion of Pensa-
cola was destroyed by fire about II
O'Clock last night. The loss is about
half million dollars. All the build
ings are burned from Ramana street
south to Zaragossa street, excepting
Byrne's buildings-in all comprising
four blocks. The loss to our merchants
is very heavy. as they have just received
their fall stocks.
The calamity is without precedent in
the history of Pensacola, and business
is almost suspended in consequence.
There is no newspaper Office, or job
Office, drug store or stationery store left
in the city. The Merchants hotel and
the telegraph offices were also destroyed.
The United States mails and county
records were saved.

Chicago, Dec. 1.-THE 7riJmo's
Davenport, Iowa, special says: A hor-
rible murder occurred last night three
miles from Colona station, on the Chi
cago, Rock Island II Pacific railroad,
and l3 miles east of Davenport. At an
early hour this morning Thomas Dilley,
n wealthy farmer and old resident, was
found dead in his bed, his skull crushed
in, and his face and body horribly dis
figured. Beside him was his wife, un-
conscious, and probably fatally injured
by blows about the head inflicted by a
sharp instrument. A short distance
from the house spade, battered and
bloody, was discovered; it had evident
ly been the instrument OF death.
There was quite sum of money i'll
the house, which was not touched. 1t
is believed that an old grudgc and n
lawsuit in which Dilley came out ahead
were the causes of the deed. Two
young men, Clement and Albert Gall
ion, are suspected. The police are on
their track.

White has been instructed to represent
to the German government that any
special enactments against the Israel
ties cannot affect the naturalized
American citizens belonging to that
persuasion, temporarily residing in
Germany, where they were mostly born,
and that the only effect would be to
cause an increase in the number of dis
putes that already frequently occur be-
tween the two governments, with re-
gard to tho rights and status OF Amer

REVELATION IN \. y. CITY.
The Press ON the situatIOn-Tamma
ny's Downfall.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE III rdii, in
its wild reioicings over Kelly's down.
fall, complaeently remarks: Had lie
abstained from his outrageous breaches
of social deeeney, he might perhaps
have saved himself from this annihilat-
ing defeat, by the resources of u pOliti-
cal stTategist; but when all the rules Of
deceney are violated, when wanton and
unfounded assaults are made on per-
sonal character, the community reyolts
against such exhibitions Of the unscru-
pulous arrogance Of boss.
The Tunes says: The influences
which brought about Kelly's downfall
have been of a very complex and not
particularly disinterested character, but
it is striking testimony TO the increas-
ing power Of public opinion over the
springs of municipal politics, that from
the mixed mass of motives out Of which
yesterdays nominations were finally
evolved we should have n result which
is SO fairly satisfactory.
The Star, Kelly's organ, sadly says;
With the events of yesterday the pro-
found conviction must impress itself on
the minds Of democrats everywhere that
New York is no longer democratic
city. II has been traded off-handed
over to the republicans, body and soul.
1t will no longer roll up those magnili
cent majorities which redeemed the
state and placed it in the van of the
democratic phalanx.

aldermen who voted for Campbell, with

ing cheeks, writhing under the con-
tempt of their indignant associates,

London, Dec. 1l..1t is understood
from the president of the council that
the Royal geographical society are con-
sidering plan for new Arctic expe-
dition. 1t is understood that the route
by way of Franz Joseph's land will be
recommended; but the mere feat of
reaching the north pole is not the main
or even one of the principal objects of
the expedition; 1t will simply explore
the unknown area north of the 10Th and
S0,h degrees of north latitude. The
society, while not inimical to the plan
of establishing observing stations
around the pole, can only consider them
rs subsidiary to the work of geograpl-
ical exploration.

JAY GOULD LOSES 100000.
Burning OF His Magnificent Green
house nt Irvington.

New York, Dec. 1l.-Jay Gould's
conservatory at Irvington, on the 1Iud-
son, burned this morning. The loss is
said to be s1O0,OUO. 1t was the largest
greenhouse In the country and was
filled with the rarest and most valuable
plants, exotics and ferns, many Of
which were imported at great expense,
and some were not duplicated in the
United States. The collection of trop-
ical plants alone could not DO equalled
in this latitude. There were other
plants that were brought here from all
parts OF the world, and the cost of ex-
portation alone was sufficient to main
tain an average sized greenhouse for
years. Men were working in the con-
servatory up to 2 O'Clock this morning
under the direction Of the head gardner.
At 3 O'Clock the night watchman dis
covered flames, and he awakened the
entire force of men, who worked hard
