How French Momcm Dress.

The chief point to note about the dress
of Partisan woman, no matter what her
station in life may be, it is appropriate
ness. She does not wear as costly gar
ments usually MS the American of the same
social class, but they are always thoroughly
suitable to her position and to the occa-
sion on which they are to be worn. A
French elegante, for instance, will neither
go shopping in u velvet costume nor to n
wedding or official reception in n cloth
jacket or cashmere gown. She never
goes out on foot in superb and snowy
apparel, or appears Mt /. ball in dark
silk made high in the neck and with long
sleeves. Etiquette forbids her receiving
her most intimate gentlemen friends in
morning dress, though this rule has
been relaxed of late in favor of the
very superb morning toilets of brocade
and satin and lace, which have been
concocted for morning wear by the
leading Partisan dressinakurs. These,
however, are simply reception toilets
for morning instead of for after
noon wear. If she desires to go out on
foot she dons the simplest of costumes in
dark cloth or cashmere. Her visiting
costume may be MS magnificent as her
purse or her desires may make 1t, and the
same may be said of the dress in which
she receives callers on her "at-home"
day. Her theatre bonnet is much more
snowy and dressy than her visiting one.
For street wear she dons bonnet in very
dark velvet or felt. In matter of gloves
and chaussure she is always irreproach-
able. For evening dress the satin slip
pers and silk stockings precisely match
the toilet with which they are to be worn.
There was an attempt made at one time
to introduce the wearing of scarlet hose
and black slippers with white evening
dresses, but it proved n total failure.
Neither were black slippers and stockings
ever worn in Paris with white or pale
tinted ball dresses That fashion was not
French it was possibly English, and
unfortunately il was American.

TINE GER rnAr HE wIII rIEID,
How Some OF the Organs Have
Reen disappointed.

AoeM nhn6ppphmhoUs
The New York Evening Post of July
9Th says editorially: The 'sclean sweep"
prophecy has at last become so utterly
ridiculous that even those Republican
organs which have least respect for the
intelligence of their readers no longer
have the impudence to repeat it. An
other prediction which always went with
it has also become useless any longer.
This was the confident declaration that
Mr.. Cleveland would surely, sooner or
later, yield to the pressure" of his party
for the spoils. The most impressive way
of making this prediction was to admit
that the President personally might
be favorable to Civil Service reform,
| might even mean to keep his pledges on
| this subject, but that he could not stand
out against his party-that he would
have to "yield TO the pressure" 1t was
amusing during the first month of the
| new administration to observe the cheor-
full confidence of the Republican organs
that Mr.. Cleveland would ''yield" by the
first of April; it was interesting, as April,
May, June passed without any of the
promised signs, to note the growingly
subdued tone of their theories that he
must yield !" il is almost touching,
now that they have finally concluded
that he is not going TO ''yield,"
to witness their combined disappoint-
ment and indignation. What makes the
business particularly humiliating to the
organ grinders is that there never was the
slightest ground for entertaining the idea
| that Mr.. Cleveland would make this sur
render. The one thing which above all
others his career, first as mayor of Buffalo,
and then as governor of New York, had
demonstrated was that pressure pro-
duced no effect on him, and that he could
be depended upon not TO '.yield." To
suppose that a man with such record
would belle his character when trans
ferred to the White House was absurd
as absurd as it would have been to sup
pose that a man of Blaine's antecedents
as a spokesman would turn Civil Service
reformer il elected to the Presidency.

A SNAKE STORY.


A EIenagcrie Anaconda Taking Too
BiR n Contract.
Port Jervis Gazette
81 never lie about snakes Warren re-
piled, "but much more curious and de-
cidedly larger reptile was captured back
Of Lackawaxen last Tuesday. Do you re-
member that about three years ago col
lision occurred on the Delaware division
to train carrying o'Brien's circus and
menagerie, and that the snake cage was
demolished and two or three snakes es-
capped in the darkness. Well, one of these
snakes was an anaconda, Ia feet long, and
although IL has been seen on several coca
sions was never captured. Last Monday
Turk wearing red turban hat, knee
and baggy breaches and pair of stock
ings, but no shoes, arrived at Lacka-
waxen and inquired the way TO Shohola
Falls. He started out, but losing his way
found himself late at night alongside of
'Rattlesnake creek tired out, and
no house or shelter within sight.
The night was very chilly, and
the Turk finally laid down on a messy
bank and went to sleep. The next morn
ing two trout fishermen, who had taken
an early start, were amazed to discover
the Turk lying in stupor, while huge
Shiny, but beautifully stripped snake was
in the act of endeavoring to swar o v him
whole, When the fishermen arrived the
snake had one of the Turks legs swal-
lowed to point above the knee, and was
making but slow progress, having under
taken bigger job than it expected. The
fishermen had no difficulty in killing the
snake, as they had it at disadvantage,
being unable to get any further ahead or
back out. 1t was IA feet long, and the
identical anaconda which escaped from
0'Brien's circus three years ago. Hompy
Williams, the celebrated snake charmer
of Lackawaxen, will preserve and mount
it, this being the only anaconda ever dis
covered in Pike county"
"What became of the Turk, Warren ?"
was the next question.
"Oh! he came around all right. BY
vigorous rubbing with whisky circulation
was restored in his leg, and he was able
to resume his journey the same day. He
was supplied with pair of boots, the
natives being fearful that he would be
bitten by RATHER and that they would
then be compelled to bury him, as he
was unable to purchase bottle of rattle
snake antidote. It's cheaper to buy boots
than collins and dig graves"

HE SAVES 9rCH aMoUBLE.


A Nursierous Swcde Jumps Into the
River and Is Drowned.
PHILADELPHIA, July 11.-For months O
bitter grudge has existed between Joseph
Mcguire of sos South Front street, and
employed as barkeeper at the GROCERY
Second and Relief streets, and ''Charlie
the Swede,n runner for a sailor beading
house.
Last night about - o'clock as Mcguire
was engaged in washing the saloon pave
ment with hose, the Swede made his APP
pearance and, without word of warning,
plunged the blade of clasp-knife
into the bar keepers back. Ma
guire fell to the pavement and
the would-be murderer started on rapid
run toward the river. Reaching the Pine
street wharf he stopped long enough to
cast aside his hat and the bloody knife
and then plunged headlong into the
water.
Richard Mcbride, the Waterman at that
point, witnessed the act and raised an
alarm. In the meantime the Swede was
swimming the direction of Camden.
His strength, however, soon failed him
and he finally disappeared. This morn
ing his lifeless body was recovered not
far from the spot where he jumped over
board. Mcguire lies in n dangerous con.
dition. The wound is five inches long
and very deep.

The IIIlnois Corn crop.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, July 1l.-Adyance
sheets of the July corn crop report of the
state department of agriculture show
that the area of corn is much larger
than last season, especially in the
central and southern divisions, and
that the growing crops have generally
been well cultivated. The prospects are
encouraging for nearly MS largo an aver
age yield per acre MS ut the corresponding
date last season. There has been con
siderable improvement during the past
month and with favorable fall season
for maturing there will be about IN
average yield per acre throughout
the state. In the southern counties there
is an unusually large area of late planted
corn that is quite small and in not few
intances the replant shows the want o.
cultivation during the harvest season.

MOVES DECLINES.
How Governor HHOadIy Made Such
n DIunder.

5.... IBlunder. ..
WASHINGTON, July Mr.. Edward Fol
linsbee Noyes of Ohio and Florida has
saved himself, Governor Hoadly, and the
administration further unpleasantness on
his account by telegraphing to the Presi
dent his declination of the appointment
of director of the Union Pacific railroad,
IL is understood that this step was taken
by Noyes after consulting Gov. Hoadly.
The President did not request the declinn.
ton, but he is very much relieved to have
Noyes take himself out of the way. The
part NOyes played in cheating Mr.. Tilden
out of the vote of Florida was not re.
called to Mr.. Cleveland's mind when he
made the appointment. He did not &c
behind Governor Hoadly's recommenda.
ton. How Mr.. Hoadly came to make the
mistake is not clear. An intimate friend
of the governor thus explains il:
Gov. Hoadly was in town on other
business. He dined with the President,
and spent an evening At the White House.
He had recommended for government
railroad director Edgar M. johnson, his
law partner. The President said the
office was not q political one, and he could
not appoint all Democrats. There was
some desultory talk, and Gov. Hoadly
suggested the name of Noyes as that of Il
representative Republican, if Mr.. Cleve.
land desired to appoint member of that
party. The President acted on the sug-
gestion at once and made the appoint
ment. OF course, Gov. Hoadly acted in
considerably. The best evidence of that
is the fact that Noyes so quickly declined
after Hoadly saw him. The dispatch
from Mr.. Noyes to the President was not
made public ut the White House.

CHICAGO, July 9.--The most daring
and adroitly executed robbery that has
taken place in Chicago for good many
years was committed yesterday afternoon
at No. so Eldridge Court, the residence of
Thomas Smith, head draughtsman in the
employ of the Dearborn foundry, 1895
Dearborn street. Mr.. Smith is in
receipt of good salary and
although lessee of box in
the vaults of the Union Safety and De-
post Company, it has been his practice
for some time past to trust large portion
of his earnings with his wife. Mrs.
Smith is stout lady, about 26 years old.
When her husband went to work after
dinner she was left alone in their rooms,
which include all Of the apartments on
the first floor
A ring at the bell called Mrs. Smith to
the front door. Two men dressed Ms
Sechanics were standing there. They
introduced themselves as plumbers sent
| by the landlord. Mrs. Smith unsuspi-
| ciously led the way to the kitchen. She
stood by the door as the first one entered,
\
the second man pass. As she turned he
struck her terrible blow with his fist
| which caused her to fall on her knees.
Before she had time to cry out her
assailants fingers were fastened on her
neck. Then the other man drew q long
| rope from q sack he carried and proceeded
TO bind her feet and hands. A towel was
drawn tightly across her mouth and both
ends tied together back of her head. The
robbers then tore open the bosom of Mrs.
Smiths dress and got hold of wallet
containing $1,000. Suddenly the door
bell rang, and one of the fellows
coolly answered the summons. Mr..
Timothy and wife, friends of
the Smiths, had stopped to make
friendly cnll. While one of the robbers
held Mrs. Smith ON the floor with his hand
over her mouth to prevent her uttering a
sound, the other informed the callers that
Mrs. Smith was ill and unable to see visi-
tors. Then he closed and locked the door
Then the robbers quietly left the house,
leaving Mrs. Smith upon the floor bound
hand and foot and almost deed from
fright. She managed to loosen the bands
about her wrists and dragged herself to
the front door
A passer-by was informed of what had
taken place, and the police were notified.
Up to this morning they have obtained no
clue, and have been unable to accomplish
anything. Mrs. Smith has been pros
trated by the shock, She is now seriously

New York Herald special
CINCINNATI, Ono, July 10.-It il learned

latter asks the governor 10 give himself
no uneasiness i'll regard to the Noyes

that the declination of Noyes had been
received, and MS an assurance that he had
not lost faith in tho governor he asked
him TO name another Republican in Ohio
for the position, and one who, in his
Judgment, would not be seriously OBJ.
jectionable to tho Democrats. The gov.
