Fresh Fashion Notes.

India silks, China cra-es and pongees are shown in great variety, including almost eve ry imaginable floral pattern in moderate sized and small figures.
 Red tulle capotes are very much worn and when they have the stamp of la bonne fai- seuse upon them they are all very pretty, but when they are unmistakably made at home the effect is anything but happy one.
 The popular trimming for all kinds of vii sites, dresses and little eapes is of jet, in which small pastiiles, round and flat like sequins, play the most prominent part; they are usually cut and bright, but for mourn ing purposes they are to be found in dull or dead black.
 In Paris just now the ladies indulge in sporting brooches with such subjects as a tiny gold horse and cavalier jumping 8 five barred gate, a cor de chase and hunting knife supporting an enamelled fox or hound s head, jockey with whip up, going at mad speed, the cap and jacket powdered with di- amonds.
 The prettiest hats are decidedly the Louis XIII, trimmed with bows of black ruban, jets and a yellow bird in front Sometimes the whole of the crown and trimming is lightly yelled in white point d'esprit tulle and others with black. In both cases they
 
 covered, brim and crown, with pampilles of jet On the left side is placed large bow of exceedingly fine Chantilly lace, in the midst of which are placed pale pink and tea crush roses.
 Striped and figured gauges over colored moire or satin are to be adopted for ladies' summer dresses, profusely trimmed with delicate lace. A charming dress of this kind is prepared of mauve fai1le franchise, covered in bel ge .colored, finely striped gauge. The unique is draped slightly in small plaits and caught up here and there with purple velvet bows of the shape known as windmill Around the gauge skirt is placed rather deep founce of beige lace. The waist is secured by pointed band of purple velvet the collar and turn back of the sleeves being of the same material. A beige open-worn straw hat is to be worn with this delicate toilet, of the mousque- taire shape, lined with purple velvet, a large upstanding bow of mauve ruban be- ing it's sole ornament.
 For morning wear the leading tailors are making round skirts of striped trousering, the under skirt with the stripe running around horizontally, the tunic of the same material having the stripes placed vertical ly The result is that a woman in this style of skirt does not resemble nnaypole, as the stripes usually elongate to sad ex- tent. Above the tailor-built skirt tight fitting twill coat is worn, ble-breasted, but cut out from the throat midway to the waist, for the purpose Of disclosing to view iaunty white dickey. Around the collar is tied a white silk cravat knotted in the sailor fashion and fixed in place by horseshoe pin. Plain straw hats of the color of the dress are worn with these morning dresses, with rather broad brims, rolled round and bound with corded rilk ruban; the back of the hat is placed enormous bow of corded ruban.

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR. MT. Powderlys latest manifesto will strengthen the general opinion that he is we'll qualified to be leader of men, and that if the Knights of Labor had paid more attention to his advice they would not be in the position they now occupy.
 MT. Powderly admits that the Knights have been losing the support of public opin- ion for some time, and one of the causes of this loss is, he says, that they have allowed things to be done in the name of the orga- nization for which it was in no wise respon- sible. He points out that fair criticism is to be tolerated, and that if the Knights want to be equitably dealt with they must deal equitably with others. He hates the word boycott. He would make converts rather than corpses of those who disagree with him. He declares that the man of capital is not necessarily the enemy of labor. He speaks strongly against drunkenness. He does not invite quarrel with the trade un- ions, but declares that the organization of which he is the head twill not be used to further the schemes of individuals, cliques or parties, and it will be subordinate to no other organization on earth"
 The general assembly is to meet on the 25th of this month in Cleveland, and then MT. Powderly will have more to gay. The Knights apparently cannot do better than to take his wise advice. They will have to act in accordance with his ideas if they keep strong. Any other course will defeat them. It is asserted that the notorious Martin Irons is scheming to oust MT. Powderly and to take his place. An attempt is to be made by MT. Powderly and those who act with him to change the rules so that no strike or boycott can be ordered except by the gener al board. Irons friends say that such change is hostile to the theory upon which the organization is founded The order is built up on the plan of the general govern ment of the United States. The assemblies represent towns, the districts States, and the annual meeting of delegates, which elects the chief officers, represents the con- gress. The theory, these men say, upon which the order is founded is that, as in the political government, each subdivision is a law unto itself in all matters pertaining ex- clusively to itself, while the proposed change would make each of them subservient to the will of the general board.
 What the outcome of the contest bstween the radical and the conservative Knights will be remains to be seen. But it is not difficult to predict what would happen to any labor organization ruled by Martin Irons

The Art of the Parisian Woman.
 From the London World


 In the trimming of dresses and mantles beadwork and chenille play large role, and tulle, either plain or embroidered, is much used to veil and soften the intensity of the silks and satins and surah used for skirts and eorsages. But how can words convey an idea Of a hat or of dress? One can detail the materials and their combination one can even give some idea of the cut; but the as- pect of the ensemble defies description as thoroughly as the beauty of the Parisiennes themselves, or as the beauty of statue or picture. This beauty seems to be result of intelligence if not of genius. An English woman is beautiful by nature or not beauti- full, and there is end of the matter. A Parisienne can rarely compete with the beautiful Englishwoman in features or in complexion and purity of skin, but she ex- erts such effort of will in making herself fascinating that she often surpasses her rival in spite of natural disadvantages. Take Rachel for instance. Nature gave her thiEs face with large and prominent forehead, deep set eyes, sunkeu mouth, a pointed chin, scraggy body and lean arms. Out of these natural materials the little Jewess, by dint of genius, will, passion, love and gold spent on beautiful objects, made the Rachel that men will ever remembers woman of Corinth or of Syracuse, with the caressing gesture of statue by Coysevax, the inten- sity of water-color by Gavarni, lips that always caught and reflected the light and in J gence.
 In the Parisienne, from the shop girl to the grande dame, there seems to be an innate eulte of her person, 8 respect of her flesh, pride in her silhouette and bearing, and withal constant effort to re-fashion and re-make herself in accordance with a mar vellous ideal of beauty, grace, elegance and youth; to take from antiquity, from the East, from all ages and all countries, that which has constituted their peculiar ele- gance, and then to reduce those clements of elegance to the Parisian formula. Every Parisienne is living work of art, the pro duct of mysterious collaboration of sur rounding influences, some stored in the gal lerles of the Louvre museum, others active and living in the sculptors, the painters, the poets, the Aspasias and Ph1ynes of the day, and in the development of that refined and immoral materialsm which is the privilege of the Latins. The creation of Parisienne is a miracle and miracle of instinct. There is no other exclamation

their magnifcence.

Soon one man stopped to peer through the instrument. Another followed his example and before long there was an extended line of people of both sexes wait ing their turn to see. Meantime the ora tor continued his fervid eloquence, while one star-gazer after another glued his eyes to the opening. A reporter, who observed the peculiar way in which all of them were affected, and the solemn way in which they skipped, waited for five minutes in the line, and when he finally got up to the telescope and looked in, in greatly en- larged characters these words: Buy Blow hard's soap.

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL. AND COURIER:
 It is now conceded that the man who will be chosen president of Yale college at the meeting of the corporation to be held in g few weeks is Timothy Dwight, grandson ot the Timothy Dwight who was president of the college from 1795 to 1917. and now pro lessor of sacred literature in the theological toned at Yale. This is due to three req sons: First, he is President Porters choice second, he is Congregational minister and would conciliate that faction in the corporation, while at the same time holds views radical enough to assure the friends of progress that he would institute reforms and changes which are greatly needed. That some such man is needed is evident. Third, nothing can be said against him. He is favorite with the faculty. Besides that, he has expressed opinions regarding the management of the college which show him to be peculiarly well qualified for the place.
 These reasons are of sufficient weight to insure Prof. Dwight's election. He comes of family of presidents. His grandfather was, perhaps, the best president Yale ever had He is related to ex President Woolsey, who is supporting him in his candidacy. Prof Dwight is fifty eight years of age. He is a native of Norwich. He has an accomplished wife, and his elegant home is the center of a large social circle.
 This is from the New York Sun. Will the COURIER allow a New Haven P. $. to say it is hoped the new administration at Yale will let in the light of reform in the department of home rule-at least in this: that it will remember the outer darkness of it's grounds, in the midst of 8 populous section of our city, and how it has grieyed the friends of this eminent institution that for so many years no means have been provided to let out this darkness. And new, when the lightning itself has come to our aid, can any thing be more reasonable than that Yale should rejoice in setting forth so admirable a symbol of her light within. It should net be forgotten that ''that which doth make manifest is light" and that it is most val uable auxiliary to the maintenance of sound morals. s'We speak as to wise men. Judge ye what we say" OBSERVER.

This falling of is attributed directly to the labor disturb ancss (which have tended to impair the con- fdence of investors, unsettled the building trades and given the city serious check in the remarkable career of progress upon which it had entered" In Concord, New Hamp- shire, the sum of $1oO, 900 has been raised to build new chapel at St. Paurs school, but not bid can be obtained for it's construc- tion.

 The labor agitators and their followers have perhaps been too busy to notice a signi- fcant change that has been taking place dur ing the last few months. There has been a steady growth of our imports, the greatest increase being in articles most extensively manufactured in this country. The imports of merchandise in March amounted to $60,- 0s1 ,677, against $52, ,976, ,345 for the same month of 1885, woolen goods alone advancing from $512, ,000 to $1, ,915 1000, while cottons, fancy articles, etc., are all being brought to this country in larger quantities than before willing to risk the uncertainties entailed by strikes on goods ordered for future delivery, are sending abroad for their supplies.
