Russian Baths in Now York.

Russian baths are, in some sort, the
fashion. They spring up at all the fash
ionable summer resorts, and prove pay
ing investment. Some of the simplest are
the best, and we recall, with great admira
ton, one of the most unpretending ones
we have ever visited. 1t is the smallest,
as it was the first, hot-air bath in this
country, and 1t is to be found in Boston.
Unpretending and essentially simple,
the ingenuity with which the latest
hygienic devices have been brought
together in the smallest possible
space There is but one hot-air chamber,
and that is mere slip of a room, abund-
antly supplied with ventilation, and so
furnished with appliances that the temper
ature can be regulated at will The pa
tient is provided with rocking chair, and
can while away the time by the inspection
of some of the most remarkablf efforts Of
pictorial art ever printed, the walls of dark
brown being covered with newspaper
scraps. In this retreat. sweating and
shampooing alike take place, and the great
objection to company in the bath is dis
pensed with, for 1t could contain only one
visitor at time.
These operations. over, the visitor has
merely to cross an inNnitesimal hall to find
himself in cupboard or recess, provided
with not ana cold water, 0ouche, shower
and spray. and will receive such DOUGH
ing from the doctor who administers the
bath professionally. as will surely, in con-
junction with previous shampoos, drive all
possible impurities out of the system.
Then hot sheet awaits him and rest as
long as may be desirable in another minia-
ture apartment. This is hot air bath in
all its native simplicity, and has
everything to recommend it. First among
such recommendations is the fact that Il
can be taken alone. And we must protest
against company in our bathroom. Sec
ondly, it is really what it processes to be,
a hot air bath, and as such assists nature
in Kidding the system of impurities by the
medium Of the skin and Of regulating the
circulation. If one must be clear land
there seems no escape from it,. this Is as
easy and simple discipline as can be.

wAsHINoroN's LADY WRITERS.
The Work which They DO, and the
Difficulties Thereof.


The lady writers of Washington are not
only numerous, but they are, as a rule,
successful. While the correspondents OF
the sterner sex are to be counted by hun
dreds they are numbered by scores, and
the work which they accomplish is a pc
culiar and trying one, though popular as
feature of Journalism, and at the same
time profitable to them. Of those who
now give most of their time to society
work, there are large numbers. They
have a society or association Of their own,
6 sort of press club, which meets at the
residences of some of the members, and
serve as a bond of union, besides adding
much to the social and intellectual pleas
ures of the N embers. Their work now is
largely given to picturing the events OF
the day in the social world.
The work which they accomplish Is not
only interesting to thousands and thou
sands OF readers, but important as part
of the picture of the daily and nightly
life of the capital of the greatest nation Of
the world. And while they are some
times accused of inaccuracies and even
more important defects, their persistency
in overcoming obstacles which had often
caused the other sex to despair, their sue
cess as news gatherers, and the
general accuracy with which they
picture the events of the day
in the social world entitle them to
great credit 1t is not an easy thing to
visit private residence at a time, when
the lady and gentleman of the house are
engaged in attentions to score or hun
dred guests, and get facts and fancies
about house and home, and guests, and
dinner and dresses. Yet these women &C
complish this, and that too, under the dis
advantage of having to do it in the night,
for most of Washington society is only to
be seen in the late evening.
They must make themselves sufficiently
welcome to gain an entrance to the house,
whether they really are welcome or not.
and gathering the facts about house and
guests and dresses from some quiet corner,
hasten from one event to another until
the circuit of Ethe evening is completed,
and then, ~hurrying to the Office through
cold and darkness, write it up" for the
telegraph, printer and proof-reader 1000
miles away, who, in turn, must prepare it
for the reader, who is then sleeping in a
comfortable couch, little dreaming of the
hardships which these women are under
going to prepare the pleasing picture of
Washington social life with which ne or
she is to be served with the mornings

How much, or how little, he would not say.
On the side Of the defense three experts
agreed substantially in saying that the
goods were faced or stuffed with what
is known as ''shoddy," which is the ma
terial shaven off the surface of wooden, cot
ton, or mixed goods. and worked into the
texture of cotton goods to give them the ap-
pearance Of wool. One of the experts stated
that he had had long experience in dealing
with goods OF this description, which were
called "Cottonades" In Mexico, where the
ustom's ficials were very strict, such
goods were always invoiced as cotton
The Judge said that this was a very diff
ferent case from the former one against the
same defendant. In the previous case goods
were found in the packages consigned to the
defendant that did not appear in any way
upon the entry.
The present case involved a matter of
opinion. On the one hand the Collector
General was of the opinion that the goods
were ''woolen,'' and dutiable, aud had
brought an expert forward to sustain him
in his opinion. On the other side, however,
three experts had declared that the goods
were what are known commercially al ''cot
tom goods. But this was not the point he
1.-THE judge had to decide upon. The charge
was that the defendant had viola ted the
revenue laws, by making a false entry of
goods. This, he thought, was not proven.
The defendant had not tried to pass goods
that were not on the certified invoice, and
in entering those that he found on his pri
vate invoices, the evidence showed that
there was no ''uninten tional" legal act
shown by which he could be held. 1t was
matter for the Collector-Generalt to decide
whether the goods we're dutiable.
At the conclusion the Judge said that
the evidence did not show that there was
any intention on the part of Mr.. Erich to
pass dutiable goods as ''free," and the case
was dismissed.

The Alleged smuggling Case.

Mr. S. Erich, the manager of the Temple
of Fashion, was brought before Police JUS
tice Blckerton yesterday morning on the
charge of smuggling. The evidence of the
Custom house officials was taken to show
that the inward entry of the goods did not
correspond with the goods themselves, and
that there was dutiable articles entered on
the list of goods free by treaty.
The goods i'll question were some ''suits"
that were on Mr.. Erlich's private bills, but
not on the certified invoice. The Collector
General allowed Mr.. E. to place these and
other goods ON the invoice, where they were
described as cotton Upon examination
the Custom-house officials were of the
opinion that they were in part, at least,
'woolen," and therefore wrongly entered;
hence the present complaint
To support the charge the prosecut ton
called in the evidence of an expert, who
testified that there was some wool in the
material out of which the suits were made

Fashions.

Dotted wells have disappeared.
Bouquets are now worn at the belt, not at
the corsage.
Silk mittens, in soft brown and reds, are
very fashionable. Many of them are orna-
mental, and have dainty little ribbon bows
on the wrists.
Undressed kids are now worn to the ex-
clusion Of dressed kid and chamois gloves.
Tan color and dark gray are the fashionable
coloTs.
Plain white hem stitched handkerchiefs
are again in fashion, and are more fashion
able than the fancy colored bordered ones.
Black silk Stockings now have the upper
half of white cotton. This is the revival OF
an old fashion.
Hammered silver is going to be very
fashionable again for jewelry.
Bangs and curls across the forehead are
now considered in execrsble taste. The hair
is simply brushed back from the forehead
without the suspicion Of curl or crimp.

Still another word in connection with the
exhibition of these two fine works of art. To
the energetic efforts of Col. G. w. Macfarlane
are we indebted for the views we have en-
joyed. And more than this: to him belongs
the credit of having persuaded Monsieur
Tavernier to visit these islands, and made it
possible for him to produce the picture we
have seen. And to him are we also in
debted for having thrown open the Hawaiian
Hotel for last nights reception. Give US a
few more men of equal energy and foresight
and these islands will soon be as we'll known
and listed as any in the world.

A word for Mr.. Strong's picture of Mauna
Kea, exhibited at the same time, and with
that of Monsieur Tavernier's.
The artist has given US most beautiful
picture of the grand, old, snow-capped
mountain. He has caught the life and light
and clear, soft atmosphere that surrounds
that Landmark for all mariners, and, if any
thing, enhanced the gloomy grandeur, the
Internal beauty of his friends volcano
scene by placing his cool, quiet painting
where the eyes of those who dwelt on the
crater scene could turn for rest. AS the
Strong's picture is best viewed by daylight,
and we hope that all will have the oppor-
tunity to study it at their leisure in the
quiet afternoons of the days to come.

A superb Picture.

Last night there was exhibited in the par
Tor Of the Hawaiian Hotel the finest picture
Of the burning lake in the crater Of Kllauea
that has ever been produced.
1t is not merely picture; it is the lake
itself, glowing flashing and s.uggishly roll
ing within massive walls of lava. There is
| the wonderful blood-red hue of the liquid
lava that gives the prevailing tone to the
whole scene; tinging the rugged battle
ments and the sulphur-laden clouds that
cling about them; betraying by it's warming
glow the deep gaps opening in the heavy
floor of lava in the foreground, and fol-
lowed by the quick upheaval of the mass
and the sudden flashing out of a dazzling
white light from the mimic craters formed
by the giant forces underneath.
There are the shattered cliffs of lava
hanging threateningly over the caldron be-
low, ready to fall a the destructive sweep
of the fiery surges beneath them. There is
the lake itself with its unknown depths of
the molten matter of which worlds are made,
bearing on its fiery surface heavy, slow
moving masses that form and melt, appear
and disappear, like the imagined environs
of the Internal regions.
There are the massive mural walls that
hold the lake, and rise high in fantastic
shapes on either hand and beyond these
grim, iron-bound walls is the still midnight
sky, cleaning palely in contrast with the
fiery scene.
Time nor space does not permit of the ex-
tended notice this splendid picture deserves !;
nor indeed would any amount of mere de-
scription adequately express ones gratifca
ton at the complete success achieved by the
artist.
One of the most gratifying evidences Of
the taste that the people of Honolulu have
for art was shown in.the fact that the spa
cious parlor and veranda of the Hotel were
thronged for hours with those who came to
see, and fingered to admire Monsieur Taver-
nier's mastery production.
The King, His Ministers, Diplomatic and
Consular Representatives, all of our we'll
known patrons of art, ladies with their fine
apprecia ton of the beautiful and grand, our
hard headed business men, our social and
political magnates, representa- tives of the
pulpit and the press-all joined i'll praise Of
the painting, and congratula tions to the
artist.
Monsieur Tavernier himself was not to be
seen until brought forward by his friends,
and then he was truly 'the lion of the
hour" And not only that, he has produced
a work that will outlast the present, and
wherever seen be admitted as magnificent
ly realistic view of one of natures wonders.
he has dipped his pencil in the glowing
caldrcn and transferred it's light and warmth
and color to the canvas.
