Millinery Opening today. /
The hats and bonnets from
Paris left that city within two
weeks. There is no want OF
force in the exhibition we
make today, nor OF variety,
nor of numbers. Mere num-
bers are netting. We do
not care to have too many
hats or bonnets before Eas-
ter with even the Partisan
spirit in them. And yet we
are not at all shy of these
we have. The fashion isn't
made yet. The materials
out OF which you will make
lit are here. We shall help
you make it; but who'll be
sure it Is made before the
summer hitting-time?
And yet you who come to
see what we have made be-
forehand, and what we have
brought from Paris too late
| to affect our own work much,
shall see what the spirit in
millinery is this spring; and
you'll find abundant mate
rails to work on as well asl
finished work.

Cxford's Progress.

LIN 1880 the census credited US
with barely fifteen hundred. Since then
a large number OF buildings have been
erected, and there is not a residence or
place of business unoccupied. and
many families who are desirous Of NOV
ing here are unable to do so because oi
the absence of houses to rent. Our
hotels and boarding houses are crowded
with permanent guests, and we have
tenements that are not unlike the
swarming hives of great city.
Some idea of OXford's growth may
be gained from the number and charac.
ter of the new houses built during the
past twelve-months. Our list is by NJ
means a complete one, ,and is taken from
memory. We mention only such build

Law is Law, and Senator Cra-
ham Says So.

Mr.. Winston, of judiciary, adver-
sely on bill eXemting certain persons
from road and jury duty.
Mr.. Baseon, of salaries and fees, ad-
versely on bill to increase salaries of
State officers and submitted another bill
as substitute which provides that the
salary of the Governor shall be $4,000,
with $500 travelling expenses when
called out OF the State; the salary OF
the auditor $1,000 and the salary of the
superintendent of public instruction
$500. Placed upon the calendar.
Mr.. Graham presented the following
minority report:
The undersigned, member of the COM
mittee on salaries and fees, to which the
above entitled bill was referred, recon-
mends that said bill do not pass, for the
! following reasons:
|. The provisions of the bill, intend
ed to apply to the incoming administra-
ton, would be clearly unconstitutional
Article Ill. section /, of the cOnst tltu-
ton provides that the term of office o.
| the officials referred to shall begin or
the first day of January next after theil
election.
Section Is, of the same article, pro
vides that their salaries shall not b
increased or diminished during the tim'
for which they shallha been elected. }
The Supreme court, in the case o
The People ex rel. Battle VS.. McIver
6S n. c. r., 467, has expressly he'll
that the term of office begins on th
first of January next after the election
no matter when the official qualities.
> 2. If ihe intention is that. the bil
shall apply to the officers to be electe
four years hence, it is premature 10
this legislature to consider it. OWN
l to the fuctuation in the prices OF til
r necessaries of life, the next legislator
t will be much more competent to fix th
salaries of the officials thereafter to b
: elected.

times.

But new way I've learned bright Wis

For recently some dream cake was sent

Not bride-cake, oh no! it was only q

i A Sad Affair.

READING, Pa, August 26.-A special
from Perkiomen Junction gives particulars
of horrible burning affair at Perkiomen
Junction, Montgomery County, of lovely
young lady named Jennie Kulp, of Green
Lane, where she was staying at Herrng's
Hotel. She was engaged in writing let
ter to gentleman friend, in her bedroom,
when she fell asleep. She probably moved
her arms while asleep, for the coal-oil
lamp was upset, saturating he cloth
ing and setting it on fire. The
room showed that the poor girl must
have had a terrible struggle. The door
was locked and she screamed and beat her
body against it. The plastering was torn
from the wall with her fingers in her agony.
When finally the proprietor, Mr.. Herring,
heard her screams and opened the door OF
her room, she dashed out and through the
house and up and down the stairs until
she fell down in a swoon, her clothing all
burned off her body, and her face
and head literally roasted to the
bone. She died this morning. Mr.. Her.
ring in his efforts to catch her was severely
burned the girl in her agony throwing her
arms about him and burning his face
neck and hands. A child with her in the
room was also burned. What makes the
affair all the more sad is the fact that Miss
Kulp was engaged to be married, and the
letter she was writing was IN reference tc
some arrangements for their coming we'd
ding. She was unusually beautiful.
