Black Silks.

Plain black silks are in better demand
this spring than for some time past, and
are pleasant relief to the eye after the
era OF brocades and figured designs.
Perhaps it is that in order to prove
attractive the manufacture has been
improved. Certainly they have q finer
yet richer finish than has been the case
for years before the plain black silk was
laid on the shelf-a fate due largely to
the authorizations of the silk with
materials which, while giving increased
weight soon impaired creased and
streaked appearance, which destroyed
all beauty. But figures still largely
predominate, and some of the best OF
the early spring costumes are made by
combining handsome figured velvet
with rich plain silk of high quality, or
with satin-de-lyon, or Ottoman silk.
The last is undoubtedly the most effect
i've combination, but it is less suitable
for the young than either of the others.
Ottoman silk, however, is very beauti-
full in itself when it Is soft. rich and pure,
and some elegant dresses have been
made of it, and trimmed with q very
fine quality of Spanish thread lace, with
interior trimmings of white Mechlin.
Soft puffs, not very full, are much used
In the making of the skirts, and the
drapery is often caught up through one
immense buckle set little to the left OF
the Princesse bodice.
Full moon and crescent patterns are
among the most popular of this season..
designs, the moons showing one-hali
their discs in one style of finish, half in
another, and the oenters forming a sort
of mosaic of both.
Silk brocades in patterns of this de-
scriptiou combine beautifully with very
fine black cashmere, and form very re-
fined, though by no means inexpensive,
toilets, for both fabrics should be hand
some to be worthy of each to her.-Jes.

Decoration Day.

Memorial Day was more unanimously
observed here than in years before. Pub
lie buildings, business houses and private
dwellings displayed the national colors,
and some of them were handsomely deco
rated. The G.. A. R. led by the Band and
followed by the officers of the day, the
committees and citizens in carriages,
marched through the streets about the
Square, proceeded TO the old cemetery,
then TO the new, decorating the graves.
Thence they marched to the Park and to
the Town Hall where the orator of the day,
Col. Wildman, of Norwalk, delivered fit
ting and eloquent address. The rain incress-
ed as night approached, and the red, white
and blue hnng saturated and limp where
it had floated gaily in the morning.

The. ST. Louis Exposure.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 15.-The Post-Dis-
patch continues its revelations of teS-
timony given before the late grand
jury, regarding the gambling ring and
the police department. 1t prints, this
afternoon, ten columns of evidence.
E. j. White, attorney of eX-Police
Commissioner Kinkead, swore that he
informed Gov. Crittenden that the
resignation sent by Warren McChes-
ney, the alleged head of the gambling
ring, was forgery; that the governor
insisted upon Kinkead sending him
another; that after parting and COM
promising it was finally settled that a
genuine resignation should take effect
October 1. Thos. E. Tut, president of
the Third national bank, testified that
he demanded a blank resignation of
two gentleman who could have been
appointed police commissioners on
that condition, but they refused; that
the idea and suggestion of blank res
ignation originated solely with Gov.
Crittenden and were for his use.
Charles Green, president of the fair
association, testified that Mr.. Tut de-
manded a blank resignation from him
for the governor, but he refused. EX-
l. O41NC
to the same facts. Elk Commissioner
Kinkead gave the circumstances of
his resignation and how he informed
the governor it was forgery, sent by
Warren McChesney; he explained
how the ring tried to find out if the
commissioners ever were acquainted
with loose women, so that they might
get them in their power.
In the court of appeals application
was made for information, asking the
police board to produce its records of
the last meeting and petitioning the
court to reverse the action of the
board in ousting Chief of Police
Campbell without preferring charges.
The case was argued by lawyers on
both sides and the matter taken under
advisement until this afternoon. Gov.
Crittenden'S private secretary has no.
tilted the circuit attorney that the
governor is at the pleasure of the
grand jury and ready and willing to
appear before them. This afternoon
the court oflappeals announced that it
had determined to issue writ of GER
tlorari, directed to the members of
the police board, commanding them
to show cause why their action of last
Tuesday in removing Chief of Police
Campbell should not be reversed and
returnable on Thursday. The case
will probably be tried next week.

his bloody hands and threw the water
on the grass. He denies that he out.

that he had no confederateS in the
crime. He makes the confession
freely, without reservation and with.
out hope of mercy. There is great
