tons that would have stamped the
wearer rs insane n few years ago, now
rule. Every style and complexion
peases itself with raging garment,
and turkey-red cottons that were once
tolerated as vagary fit for Mt. Desert,
are now sent over by French dress
makers covered with embroidery and
lace ruflles, and combined with every
imaginable color. A bit of red ribbon
on blue dress. or blue ribbon on a
red dress, give sometimes a happy
touch of color. but an overdress OF blue
yelling and turkey-red skirt are glar-
ing and angry masses that few can
look on. Hardly any costume escapes
the touch of red, and what with the
sashes, the silk stockings and mits that
90 with the dresses, they are bound to
be frightened with it in some way. A
late fancy has been the use Of the silk
pompons as hair ornaments. A Gre
tonne fan with huge flowers on one
side, and plain surface of red satin
on the other, mouned on olive-wood
sticks, is the great fancy, and such
one was waved the other morning by
the lady who has the credit of owning
and wearing tho most diamonds in Sar-
atoga The dress of the lady was quite
as ultra fashionable as her fan, consis-
ting Of French cretonne, with huge
and brilliant peonies the size Of din
ner-plate, outlined on background.
A basque of closely shirred red surrah
surmounted the wonderful peony skirts,
and abundant lace ruiiles relieved the
costume slightly. The people gaaed af-
ter the figure, as well they might, but
the lady lifted up her expensive dress
and walked off under the shade of her
red umbrella, wholly unconcerned.
When this cnvled woman, whose Co.'S
tunes are beyond counting, appears in
all her jewels, quiet little man is seen
to continually shadow her footsteps,
entering ~ room when she enters, and
following her closely through the gar
dens, and along the crowded streets at

Meeting of the Fire Department and
Special Committees to Hear Represent
tatives of Silsby and Ahrens Manufac-
turing Companies.
The fire department committee of the city
Brennan, O'Connor, Minea, and Ringwald,
with Aid. Cornish of the Fourth ward, and
Chief Engineer Strong, met at city hall last
evening to hear from representatives of the
companies proposing to furnish the city with
the engine required for furnishing The Fourth
ward, on the hill, with fire service. Mr.. H.
Fl. Neiman, secretary and treasurer of the
Ahrens manufacturing company, of Cincln-
natl, was first introduced and spoke at length
company for $4,000 freight paid.
His remarks were principally
in the line of comparisons with the Silsby
machine, and Introductory or explanatory OF
certificates as to the service of the Ahren's
machines in Chicago, Cincinnati, st. Louis
and other cities. Mr.. Horace Silsby, vice
president of the Silsby manufacturing COM
pany, of Seneca Fall, N. Y, next came before
the committee and explained the differences
between the S!lsby engines now in use by our
fire department, and the larger and improved
machines his company now propose to furnish
for $4,000, the city to pay freight, in the
course of his remarks, stating that his COM
pany had manufactured and sold 40 steam fire
engines since it had furnished the last one
bought by this city. At the con-
clusion of Mr.. Silsby's presentation
of the case for his company, it was proposed
to have both gentlemen at once before the
committee for answering questions by the
committee, but the proposal was objected to
and dropped, and, with view of having Mr.
Leyde, local agent, before the committee to
represent the Gould engine, OF Bennington,
Vt, an adjournment was had TOT O'Clock this
evening

Of late your valuable paper has con-

of the cattle men and what they are do

State, would contribute few items in
reference to the blooded stock recently
brought into this town by Messrs. C. A.
Parker, John Willoughby and VIM.
Fowler, who are all large stock raisers
and dairymen.
Mr.. Fowler has long held to the short
horn, as the best breed and recently pur

year old bull. Whilst Messrs. Willough

stems of Mr.. T. W. Laramy, of Beloit,

IN EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.

The movement for an extra session of
Congress has at last taken definite form
in resolution offered in the Senate on
Tuesday by Mr.. Blair, Of New Hampshire.
declaring it necessary for the public inter-
ests. His explanation of the necessity is
very fimsy and inconsistent one for a
Republican to make-that the tariff on
hosiery and knit goods was destroying
that industry in New England. The in
formation is not new, though the decision
of the supreme court may be. The Dem
ocrats have been for the past twenty
years denouncing the tariff laws as de-
structive of all industry, and the fact has
been proved over and over again. The
shipping interest has been protected ou,
of existence. The entire system is one
of robbery, and the great majority of
people SO regard it. But the fact that
one particular industry is likely to suffer
for few months is no excuse for an extra
session of Congress. If the Republicans
desire to do so they can amend the law
in regard to the articles complained of
during the first week of the December
session. They will encounter no opposi-
ton from the Democratic side of the
House.
That pretext. as well as the one refer
ring to the'De Lesseps canal project, is
merely subterfuge. The Republicans
are becoming weary of the deadlock in
the Senate they have created, and are
seeking some avenue of retreat. They
fancy that if the President should call an
extra session Of Congress the Democratic
opposition to repudiator Riddleberger
would cease, or, at any rate, that the oc-
casion would give the Republicans a
chance to crawl out of the disagreeable
hole they have gotten themselves into.
They will find themselves mistaken as to
the Democrats, who will never consent to
vote for so obnoxious man as Mahone's
copartner The best thing for them to
do will be to hold another caucus, nomi-
nate unobjectionable men for the Senate
offices, all of them good Republi-
cans, and the Democrats will permit their
election. The public know they are sick
of their bargain, and it is far more man.
ly to back down boldly, acknowledge
their blunder, and endeavor to repair it
rather than to try to sneak out Of it in a
| manner that will only inspire contempt
and indignation. An extra session is not
| necessary, and should not be called. If
called the Republicans alone will be re-
sponsible for it. They must bear the
blame of the cost and of the plumbers.
| The skirts of the Democrats are clear.
