A very exciting and hOtIy contested
election for Mayor took place in Boston
on last Tuesday. William O'Brieu, who
is an Irishman and Democrat, was
elected to the Office last year and the
year previous, and was this year nOmin-
ated for third term. It is conceded in
Boston hat ne is the best may or the city
has had for twenty years. He has
smashed the rings that had been plum
dering the people for years and has
saved the tax payers hundreds of thou
sands OF dollars. \ Mr.. Hart was his
Republican opponent, and in order, as
was thought, to make O'Brieu's defeat
certain, a workingman's candidate,
named Mcneil, was brought out, and
Henry George. the defeated Labor and
Land Reform candidate for Mayor of
New York. went to Boston and delivered
several speeches in McNeill's interest.
The tax payers of Boston, however,
stood maniully at the back of their
fearless reform Mayor, and reelected
him bv a majority which, although not
50 large as tLey gave hlm last year, is q
most emphatic endorsement Of his ad-
miuistraJiOn. The vote stood O'Brieu,
., ,3S7; Hart. Is, T19 McNefu, 3 564-
O'BCeu's majority over Hart, 4 Cos,
O'Brisu's majority over both, ! .1OL.

y Baltimore dispatch dated On last
Saturday, says that Cardiual Gibbons in
writing the preface 10 little book for
tine guidance of p temperance Corfrater-
nifty which has just been organized. px-
presses his views on the diff-Jels
methods adopted to repress ibtemperauce
as follows I'VE approve of the contra
ternity, as it carries out the recommen-
da,ions Of the preldtes Of the last PIenary
Council Of Baltimore, entTeating pastors
in charge cf parishes to establish temper
ance societies based on religion. There
are three modes ordinarily proposed BY
advocates for the repression of intem-
psranCe. The first mode is by civil
legislation, but this plan does not afford
an adequate remedy, as experience abun-
dainty demonstrates. Men can never
b- coeIced or EcgIsla,ed into morality
The second Is by appeal TO popular
enthusiasm and emotional religion. But
this system is equally Inefficient, what
ever NAV be the good intentions and the
zeal of ITS advocates, for rs soon as the
excitement subsidies the disease resumes
its sway, and moral distempers are too
deep-TGOted to b5 eIadicated by an
enthusiastic harangue or by any appeal
to the feelings. The third and only
effectual method in our Judgment by
which intemperance can be repressed is
by religious and moral influences, which
not only appeal to the intellect and the
heart, but which also impart grace to
effect what unafded nature is unable OF
itself to accomplish. -

AhoutTennis Sui,s.

One special point in the construction OF
bodices for tennis wear is to have them,
even if fitted, perfectly easy, SO that the
wearer can move with grace and comfort.
There are many methods of arranging
skirts. In one model the skirt is plain in
front. buttoned down the left side with
all the fullness thrown to the back. The
bodice is separate, but without any basqe,
and folded band of velvet is laid round
the edge, bent into a point back and front.
Sometimes the bodice to wear with the
above skirt may be made full and round
waiseed.
Another arrangement is to have the front
and the sides of the skirt killed and a scarf
drapery coming from the hips falling wide
and straight in box pleatS at the back, one
side OF the scarf being looped back panier
fashion and embellished by three or four
butterfly bows in an appropriate color,
placed on the right side, and the bodice skirt
has bows on it to match.
Underskirts of pale pink flannel have
long-draped tunic of cream, sometimes cut
up one side, with pink collar, cuffs and vest
on bodice of cream. The white sailor hat
is trimmed with bows of pale pink ribbon.
Navy blue and yellow is a stylish combina-
ton of cOlors.
LII Is quite IN style to nave the Dodlce Tor
tennis dress tight-ftting at the back, but
with full front made all In one piece with
the fullness terminating at the waist, with
short strap of velvet fastened by two fancy
buttons. Sometimes this strap ends in tive
long ends and some loops. which are carrie d
to the side of the basque and fastened there.
Bodies cut in a wide V, ending in at a
point at the waist, with revers OF velvet
| almost touching the sleeve seam at the
shoulder and filled in with white waist
coat, are also popular. The waistcoat is
often arraged to look like folded and

cuffs, are much worn this season.

SELECTING A PIANO.
some of the qualifications TO
Considered.


Some of the Qualifications TO be
Considered.
In selecting good piano from variety
OF instruments, says professor of music,
the chief object naturally should be to find
one which combines. as nearly as possible,
all those qualities which render it both
pleasing and sympathetic i'll tone as well as
SOHO ana durable in construction.
The quality of tone should be first con-
sldered the question to be decided being
whether the tone is SodorouS, full and
strong. and at the same time sweet and
agreeable to the ear, and not sharp aid
offensive, With this is coupled the Ques-
ton whether the tone responds easily to
the softeSt pressure of the key, and whether
the touch of the key, on applying differ
ent force, will also produce proportionate
tone. This ought to be the fact through
out the entire scale, and if this is the case
the piano may be considered as being of
good quality and evenneSS of tone. A piano
when lightly touched may be found sweet
and pleasing to the ear, but when little
force is ussd it is used it will yield only a
shrlll, trembling noise, without any dis
tlnct, pure and round tone being heard
at all.
Not only should the different octaves be
equal in the tone of their several keys, but
the same character of sound should prevail
III the piano from the lowest to the highest
tone. The labor and expense IN regulating
piano in the aforementioned manner is
so great as to prevent manufacturers who
Go not make strictly tirst-clasS instruments
from beStoWing the necessary attention up
on this part OF the manufacture; instead of
this, however, they make the tone bril-
liant" as they call it. in oder to hide the
defects in the evenness of the piano, re-
sultng Ill eithet the bass being too noisy or
the treble too sharp, so that the ear is very
soon offended by the sound.
The action of the piano must be elastic
and the touch easy, although not light
not to cause rafting of the keys after a
short period of use. A heavy, unyielding
action tires the player out makes the piano
diSagreeable
These are the main points to be eonsid-
cred in selecting good piano.
The Integrity of well-known manu-
facturer should be safe guarantee that he
uses only the best material, dry and we'll
seasoned wood, substantial braces, good
strings. etc., III manufacturing the inStru-
ment. AS matter of course, every manu-
facturer tries to make the outside appear
ance of his piano as attractive as possible,
but the purchaser should not be influenced
by the faultleSS exterior finish alone in Sc
Letting piano. The real merit should be
sought in the perfection of the action and
the inner construction of the instrument.
Poor pianos may be fitted up in most ele-
CANT style, but after little wear they fail
to give satisfaction.
