brown silk in one piece on one side. The
checks we're on the lower part of the skirt and
the stripes above. Many of these panel ar
engagements we're on skirts, but the one just
referred to was the most novel. The bonnet
worn with this dress was Of plain straw
trimmed with fine red flowers. These
were in punches in front, and placed
very fat around the brim. Another toilet
of black sursh satin had the skirt covered
with fine black lace The lace was only
slightly drsped. and formed deep flounces in
front. The back fell perfectly plain. The
very tight fitting garnet velvet jacket pro-
duced very snowy effect above the lace
skirt. 1t was pointed on the lower part, and
the borders were surrounded by large garnet
beads. A small garnet straw capote was
worn with this suit. Another dress of a
very light brown wooden fabric had perfect
ly plain skirt and plain overdress. The
tight fitting jacket was in darker shade of
brown. 1t had very tight-ftting sleeves
reaching to the wrist. This was one OF the
prettiest and simplest suits worn on the ave-
nue.. Its effect was. however. not little
mArred by the wearer carrying large sun
shade with broad stripes of yellow and black.
The sunshade was doubly conspicuous from
the fact that it was about the only ,rticle of
the kind seen yesterday. The display of nat
ural flowers was as prOfuse and varied as it
usually is on Easter Sunday.-New York

Easter on Fifth Avenue.
SOME OF THE BoNNErs AND DRESSES MARK
ING THE SPRING STYLE.

On Easter Sunday the spring fashions are
fairly launched, and the day determines to
some extent what colors and shapes will be
adopted. hence brief summary of what was
seen out of doors Yesterday may be of some
interest
The prevailing color for bonnets was pale
green-in fact all shades of green were no.
ticesble and so was light pink. The shapes
were small capotes, sailor hats. and hats with
high crowns. The capOtes were in coarse
fancy straws. trimmed with loops of light
green riboon and pale pink flowers. A large
assortment of colored silk illusions was also
observed on the bonnets Some bonuets
with high crowns were covered with black il
lusion and surrounded by large black jet cut
beads. They had trimmings in front in light
pink, green. or poppy red, and when not over
trimmed with color were quite striking The
hats with high crows were generally adopted
by young ladies. Those seen yesterday had
twisted pieces CT surah or gauze around
the crowns, and many loops and flowers in
front Although some huge arrangements OF
peoples and other brilliant toned flowers met
the eye, the general tendency was evidently
10 employ fine flowers in pale tints. As sail
or hats exact skillful trimming and pretty
faces into the bargain, although many were
worn. very few met the requirments men,
toned.
The new suits were in most instances very
plaln, ana most OF them had no trimmings on
the skirts or even on the overdresses. The
prevailing colors were putty and all the light
tones of brown. The trimmed suits had col
lars. cults, and scanty trimmings over the
back draperies, the trimmings being in velvet
or surah satin in the palest tints of green or
'sang de bout" Among the few complete
spring suits that courted attention one was of
a light putty eolored worsted goods, made
perfectly plain with the exception of mar
row plated panel of striped and checked light

at this time the body is most susceptible to
the beneficial effects of reliable medicine

Arbor day was very successfully inau-
gurated in different sections of Massachu-
sets. Saturday. The governor of the
State and the mayor of the Hub set an ex-
ample by planting two large elms on the
Common, on historic ground. In other
towns, residents. students and employees
became tree-planters, and in front of
houses. institutes of learning and factories
were placed shade trees which will make
these localities more beautiful and attrac-
tive. In some of the cities and towns
throughout the Commonwealth the streets
and residences are as destitute of shade
trees as the desert of Sahara.

to the House Judiciary Committee an open
letter on the subject of the supplementary
Edmunds bill now before it. and which
there appears to be disposition to
smother on the part of the committee.
MIR. Nimmo does not touch on the question
of polygamy, but considers the Mormon
church AS political institution, systemat-
ically and inherently disloyal to the gov
eminent. He believes, in common with
many others who have studied the situa-
ton. that compromise with political
Mormonism is impossible, and that the
only remedy for the Utah troubles is to
abolish the territorial form of government
and substitute board of commissioners.
