Hanging Over Bud Warner.

A Sentence in Three Cases of burglary
Hanging Over Bud Warner.
Bud Warner, who was acquitted in the
criminal court last Friday on trial for
burglary, was again before the court yester-
day. Assistant District Attorney Coyle
brought to the attention of Justic MacAr-
thur the fact that Warner, in the year 1880,
was indicted In four cases of burglary, con-
victed in two, and plead guilty in the other
two. He was sentenced to the Albany pen
itentiary in one case for seven years, the
extent Of the law, and sentence was sus.
pended In the remaining three. Warner
had been tried before Justice James, aud
there seemed to be difference of opinion
as to his intention OF imposing sentence
whether II covered one or the entire four
cases. Justice Macarthur concluded he
would consult Justice James and let him de-
eide the question himself.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: A reader
of the article in yours Of today, entitled
"Lincoln and Chase" might infer that there
was some arrangement by which the friends
OF Mr.. Chase supported Mr.. Lincoln at the
Baltimore convention Of 1864. AS a matter
of fact, Mr.. Chase had withdrawn from the
position Of candidate some time before the
assault Of Frank Blair upon him, which led
to the incidents mentioned. There was
never an active canvass by his friends. His
elevation Of character and dignity OF bear
ing in his position made partisanship in his
favor impossible. Six weeks or two months
would cover quite the entire period Of his
candidacy. The election Of Gov. Dennison
to the presidency of the Baltimore conven-
tion was more personal compliment to
him than concession to the friends OF the
Secretary of the Treasury, who, in the con-
vention and canvass after gave the most
cordial and hearty support to the President.
Respectfully, A. G.. RIDDLE.

Doubtless, the world improves, but
strange to say fashion remains thing of
custom rather than Of beauty One hum
bly, follows "the fashion" regardless Of what
is beautiful or Symmetrical. Who will pre-
tend to say to-day that the chignon or erin
olue Of the past were beautiful, aud who
will say, when the present fashion is no
more, that the abnormal scructures now
worn by ladies have a simple merit apart
from being fashionable. 1t is In the decora-
tions Of our homes that is seen the vast i'm
provement in fashions. The so.called "bar-
barrie splendor Of the east" has been imi-
tated to advantage at least, as regards the
textures and colors Of the drapiDgs now the
fashion for furniture, and even taking the
place Of doors.
These Oriental goods, as they are called,
are made up as portieres and table covers,
and as searfs for draping pictures or chairs,
and while the cost is moderate the effect
produced equals in richness the designs and
colors of the most costly Persian rugs and
shawls.
The collection now on view at the Palais
Royal is well worthy Of inspection, and a
half hour can be spent with pleasure there.
The store is situated at the corner Of Penn
