THE INDEPENDENTS.

A Call For a General conference
New YORK, July 14.-The Independent
Republican committee of New York met this
afternoon at their new quarters, No. 35 Mas
sau street George William Curtis presided
After considerable discussion the committee
adopted the following call:
The undersigned committee invite all Re-
publicans as Independent voters who disap-
prove of the nominations made by the ma
tional Republican convention at Chicago as
unworthy of support, who think that the in
terest of good government and of pub
lie morals demand the defeat of the Repubi-
can candidate for President and Vice Presi-
dent, and who are therefore resolved not to
vote for Blaine and Logan, to meet for con-
ference either in person or by delegation for
the purpose of determining upon course OF
action in the pending canvass. The confer
ence will be held on July 22d in the Un1ver,
sity Club Theater, Twenty-sixth street and
Madison avenue. The call is signed by
George William Curtis, chairman, and 5. w.
Grierson, secretary of the New York hide
pendents; Charles R. Goldman, president,
Darwin G. Ware, chairman of the Indepen-
dent Republicans of Boston; Simeon T.
Baldwin, president, Talcott IL. Russell, sec,
retary of the committee of twenty-five OF
New Haven: J. N. Larned, chairman, Ralph
Stone. secretary of the Independent Repubi-
can club of Buffalo. The candidates of the
two parties were discussed at the meeting,
and although no official action was taken II
was the general opinion of those present that
the committee would finally indorse Grover
Cleveland.

White Hands out of Fashion.

FROM HarperS Bazaar.
White hands are no longer in fashion. The
pretty, delicate, well-kept hand of our moth
ers and our aunts has becomewhat rococo
However, pretty hand is still very beauti-
ful, and there are those who prefer it to the
the brown and knotty hand of which most
sportsman-like young ladies are now so
proud.
The fashion of playing games without
gloves, such as lawn tennis rowing, archery
and ball the habit of walking gloveless about
country in the summer, alpenstock in
hand, the exposure to the salt sea wave, have
brought the feminine hand, once so carefully
cared for, to the complexion which Shakes
peare derides when he says, "She hath leath
ern hand---would think that her old gloves
were on it,
At the same time that these brown hands
are fashionable, and the palm hardened, even
corrugated with the callouses which have
been earned by the severe use of the mallet
and the oar, great attention is paid to the
nails--more than ever before A professional
manicure is to be found at every watering
place, who spends half an hour day over
the nails of fastidious woman, cutting,
polishing, removing the superfuous skin
rosy unguent, and then polishing them
with her own hand, or bit of waist-leather,
etc. until she makes them shine like jewels.
Lord Byron's nails were SO fine that Lady
Blessington leaves a description of them.
She says that they were rose leaf with a
half moon of silver in it; and every lady en-
ulates Lord Byron's nails Nails should be
shaped like flbert and encouraged to show
that half-moon at the root This can be ac-
comp1ished by the person who owns the nail
if she simply runs delicate steel points
dull embroidery needle is the best-around
under the skin every morning, and Their
pushes the skin back with the towel as she
wipes her hands after washing them. We
are glad to observe that these nut-brow1
maids who do not mind tanning the hands
are still very neat and particular about the
nails One should pay strict attention tt
their condition at all times, both as to clean
ing and cutting. A liberal supply of soap OF
small nail brush with warm water is the
best way to treat nails to bring about cleanli
ness; then while the hand is moist, an ivory
nail-cleaner should be passed under the mai
to free it from dirt; then the thin skin which
intrudes on the nail should be cut with a pai
of sharp and bent scissors Occasionally tn,
nails should be filed and the hard skin which
forms around the corners of them cut away
In cutting the nails SO as to preserve the beau
" OF their shape, use very sharp penknife
Morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven [Conn.]) 1848-1894, 1884-07-15

the nail should be cut either pointed or OBJ
long, following the shape of the finger The
oriental ladies know this, and allow the
nails to grow of enormous length. Nothing
deforms the hand like a stumpy or broken
nail, unless it is dirty one They should
never be bitten; bitten nails are hopelessly
ugly.
The Chinese consider that long nails are
proof of gentility, consequently they allow
their nails to grow absurdly long. In some
parts of Italy the nails are suffered to grow
until they begin to break; but this is not to
be commended Never cut the nails with
scissors (unless the delicate crooked scissors),
for the other kind pry up the nail and hurt
its contour.
Now that the science of palmistry is be-
coming SO favorite study, and there is to be
only step between divination and prophecy,
it behooves young ladies to keep the palms
of their hands free from the disfguring cica-
trix of lately cured blister. We advise the
bright girls who are to play lawn tennis this
summer to wear gloves. A loose pair of dog
skin gloves will not hamper their work, and
the hand that is useful and strong may Just
as well be pretty.
In the new fashion of learning the art of
cookery, which engages the attention of SO
many of our bellies, it is very well for them
to have bowl of clear water, into which
they dip their hands often, as they proceed
to handle the various articles which their
vocation requires them to touch In basting
a fowl the hands should be protected from
the fire by wash-leather gloves, and after
mornings service in the kitchen the hands
should be bathed in hot water, and a pair of
Swedish gloves put on for an hour.

A SINGULAR CASE.

A Liquor Dealers Death-After Lfsten-
ing to a Temperance Lecture He
Goes Home and Dies.
HALIFAX, N. S., July 14.-The sudden
death of prominent citizen of Halifax I'M
der peculiar circumstances occurred yester-
day. On Saturday evening General Samuel
A. Cary, Sr. P. w. P, of the National divi
sion, Sons of Temperance, lectured on tenn
perance in the Park street rink. The audi
ence filed the building. The lecturer de-
livered stirring address, pointing out the
evils of intemperance and the many causes
which lead men and women into the down
ward path Before closing he addressed him
self particularly to liquor sellers. His Ian
guage was extremely strong According to
the general there was no hope for the unfor-
tunate men or women who might be inter
ested in the "devil's business" Such would
have to turn from their wicledness at once
or be doomed to endless perdition. Among
the audience was William Lowe, liquor
dealer of the city, a prominent Free Mason
and an esteemed citizen. The speech of Gen
eral Cary had an effect SO great upon Mr..
Lowe that upon reaching his home he was
taken i'll and lived only two hours. He had
been trading in Halifax for fifteen years, and
although he had always handled liquor in his
business he had ever been somewhat averse
to the sale of it. His wife was always op-
posed to his continuing in the liquor bust
ness and often urged him to give it up. Con-
versing with friend at the close of the
meeting Mr.. Lowe seemed greatly agitated
and said he regretted having had anything
to do with liquor. His friends think that
his excitement on this account caused his
death

HIS VILLAGE CART.
How LfVeryman Williams was Vic
tfmtzed by Young Man who Said
His Name Was Smith,

How Lfveryman Williams was Vic
tfmfzed by a Young Man who Said
His Name Was Smith.
Yesterday afternoon meek looking young
man called at NJ. F. Williams livery stable
on Howard avenue, corner Sylvan avenue,
and asked for a team. He said he wanted
to go over to Fair Haven and see some friends,
and thought village cart would be the
proper thing to ride in. His name he gave as
smith, and his residence as 81 Day street.
Mr.. Williams was not at the stable at the
time, but his men thought it was all right,
and accordingly fixed the man out with a fine
little sorrel mare and gay little village cart.
The young man who rejoiced in the cogno-
men of Smith then drove gayly forth, saying
he would be back in an hour.
Last evening as Doorman Richard Moore
was loosely remarking upon the approach
ing badness of Lieutenant Wrinns head, a
gentleman thrust his head into the square
aperture in the railing through which SO
many ''drunks' have cast their troubled
chances, and said that he had probably been
victimized by one Smith who had gone off
with his sorrel mare and village cart. He
said there was no house on Day street num-
bered 81, and that the young man Smith had

ACCIDENT AT CONEY ISLAND.
Two Trains Collide with a Crash.

Two Trains Collide With a Crash.
BROOKLYN, N. Y, July IA collision
occurred on the Brooklyn, Bath and Coney
Island railroad near Greenwood cemetery
this afternoon by which several persons were
severely injured, some probably fatally. The
engineer of coal train in endeavoring to
reach the switch Just outside the city limits
before the $50 train from Coney Island mis-
calculated the time and met incoming train
Just after rounding a curve. The trains
came together with crash. There was
much confusion. The ENGINEER of the coal
train having released his ..engine it started
backward towards the depot and after run
ming short distance struck the 3, o'clock
train from the depot, demolishing the engine
and front passenger car of that train. 1t is
remarkable that the loss of life was not very
serious. Mr. Frederick Aston was severely
injured about the head. Jacob Brown, en-
gineer of the o'clock train, was fatally in
jured. Henry c. Baker and James Longman
received injuries about the face and head
Several others were hurt, but with the ex-
ception of Brown and possibly one other will

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 14.-Secretary
Teller being asked about a report that he had
said the Democratic ticket was strong,
says he has not said or intimated that the
nomination of Cleveland and Hendricks was
especially strong. He believes the nomina-
ton of Bayard, Thurman or Mcdonald would
have been stronger than that of Cleveland,
and that Mcdonald, is in his Judgment would
have been stronger candidate for the vice
presidency in Indiana than Hendricks. Mr.
Teller said he felt much more confident of
the success of the Republican ticket since

WASHINGTON, July At is believed that
the letter carriers will, after all, secure the
fifteen days leave of absence to which they
are entitled under the recent act. The
law says distinctly that they shall be entitled
to not more than fifteen days in each year,
and that the Postmaster General may employ
substitutes to do their work during their va
cation at salaries at the rate of 5000 year.
The Postmaster General estimated that it
would be necessary to provide for these sub
stitutes by an appropriation of S1OO, 900.
Congress cut down this estimate one-halt,
but it is believed that as the law distinctly
authorizes the Postmaster General to employ
the necessary substitutes, he has the right to
carry out the law and to depend upon Con-
gress to provide for the deficiency.
