Mayor Hewitt's appointment of Dock Com

Mayor Hewitt's appointment of a Dock Com
missioner to succeed the late Mr.. Stark is an
excellent one. Mr.. Silliman's experience in
the transportation business must have given
him accurate knowledge Of the needs of the
business community as related to the water
front. He is trustee of Columbia College,
and was recommended to the Mayor for this
Office by the president of the Maritime Ex-
change and other prominent citizens. The new
Commissioner is Democrat, but not par
6san, and there does not seem to have been
any politics in the appointment.

In these items the decrease in value is only
s565, 0s9 or about per cent. The remaining
exports in November of last year were in value
s17,2O763S, and if the amount should prove
to have been the same this year the aggregate
of exports would be about SIS, o0O 900, against
imports probably not much exceeding
$50, 0OO 900. There is o possibility, however,
that the exports OF foreign products during the
month of November may have been larger than
usual if goods imported in expectation of
change of tariff have been TO any extent shipped
away again. II may be noticed that the de-
crease in value would have been large but
for considerable advance in prices of the more
important products; thus the average price OF
cotton exported was 90 cents per pound, against

the average for -four s. 8 per barrel, against

Mems Styles of Dress.

The tendency of styles among men is
toward a more flashy and gorgeous
dress. A few months since nothing
could be too modest for man in good
society to wear; now everything is
changed. Neckties must reflect rich
and brilliant colors, and handsome
diamond pin Is eminently in place
Shirts are no longer plaiu, but en-
broidered, plated and frilled. If they
are barred with highly colored stripes
or dotted with resplendent figures it is
all the more fashionable. The same
Is the case with handkerchiefs and
muffiers, the gayer the more fashion
able they are. 1t was only a short
time since that shirt studs were out
of date, but now they are coming back
In style. At first only one stud was
worn, and that was plain, white
covered button; then came the single,
plain, round head gold stud, and now
the bolder dudes are wearing two and
three gold studs.
The truth is that modesty in dress is
going out OF date and the Dolly Var
den period IS once more coming upon
US. You can see the approach of it
any time you GO out on the streets.
The suits OF clothing are richer and
higher In color, jewelry more abun-
dant, and the neckwear brilliant as
the rainbow. / don't know where this
all will stop, but the Indications are
that the dress of the average gentle
man next summer will be something
stunning. If you Will notice, the win
ter goods now on sale at the stores are
preparing the way. Woolen knit caps
have small tassels on the top, over
coats are needlessly ornamented with
fur, and even in gloves there is an at
tempt at display. need not speak of
the richly embroidered suspenders and
underwear that you see in the show
windows. The fashions are on the
eve Of turning a complete somersault.

The Girls Who Marry.

81 always read the wedding notices
In the papers, F." said Louisville citizen,
land am surprised to observe what a
proportion of the brides are working
girls in its commonly accepted sense,
namely, that of girls who work in a
factory, but include all those who
earn their own living, whether il be by
school teaching. dressmaking, working
a typewriter or the numerous other oc-
cupationS which are now open to the
feminine sex. According to my obser-
vation these girls marry clerks, young
doctors and lawyers, railroad men and
others, many of whom subsequently
reach the greatest heights in business
or the professions. Many well to do
young men who have either inherited
or already accumulated something OF a
competency marry girls who are accus-
toned to work"
"What conclusion, then, do you de-
duce from your observations?"
'.My CONCLUSION Is that the average
young man of the period is much
more sensible creature than we give
him credit for being. He has his fun
with the society girls and enjoys him
self, but when the time. comes to select
a wife, he chooses her like Mrs. PrIm-
rose did her wedding gown-not for
gloss and fineness of finish. but for
qualities that last Thus the society
girl gets left. All our old maids were
once leaders IN society. The young
men thought they were not equal TO
the task of supporting these maideDs,
or the latter themselves were too higt
toned to accept any but a millionaire
and hence they still prefix Miss tc
/ their names"

The Little Apple Thief

1 remember case that happened
years ago i'll Illinois. a lawyer friend
of my father defended a lad for stealing
apples. The owner Of the orchard was
without pity, but the lawyer pleaded
that the child's act was merely one of
gluttony and that he ought to be in
diligently treated. This was the view
of the matter taken by the justice and
he spoke to the accused In a fatherly
way. "You hear" said he, what
has been said about you, that you are
no thief; now l am going to acquit you,
but you must first promise that in fu-
ture you will behave in a way to re-
deem this fault you have committed. {"
The boy, who had been crying bitterly,
looked up. wiped away his tears and
gave the required promise in a firm
voice.
Years passed away. One day as the
lawyer stepped off the train at Detroit
he was accosted by gentleman who
asked If he remembered him. mo, /

proven that the penal system OF all
civilized countries is nearly powerless
to reform criminals. When they are
restored to liberty they are without re-
sources. Society invariably refuses to
extend them helping hand, and they
are apt to be soon fairly driven into as
sociation with men whose record is even
more shameful than their own. This
is the reason why justice should be
tempered with mercy in the case OF a
first offense, especially when the Of

For Duty's Sake; or, True to Herself

Mrs. FitZosborne never could under
stand why her brother Ambrose Dar-
lesion should have chosen little Eve
Annecy for q wife. The girl was
pretty enough, and of good family, but
why did he not take one OF the bellies of
the season with a cold million when he
had the opportunity.
Mrs, FitZosborne had a country seat
at Sandy beach, and it was there her
brother had met Eve, who was staying
at the hotel with her sister, Mrs. Lut-
treIl, the widow of an Indian officer.
Sandybeach was rather a wild fishing
town and the fisher boys had things
pretty much their own way. There
was one place called Idle Corner. where
the lads loafed around all day. Mr..
Darlaston tried in vain to have some of
them locked up for calling him names
when he rode by, but justice was prim-
ltive, and he was only laughed at. Eve
took a different stand, for she had a
kind heart and wanted to improve their
condition. Often of an evening she
would purposely walk with her sister In
the direction of Idle Corner, and talk
to the lads, and as she had beautiful
voice, sang hymns for them, and they
soon learded to join In the chorus.
When Mr.. Darlaston heard of this he
was very angry with his betrothed, and
they had a quarrel finally. and he left
town for the Continent angered at her
refusal to give up going to Idle Cor
ner.
When he returned to Sandybeach,
after two years. absence, he could ind
no trace of Eve, whom he longed to
meet again. His sister could only say
| that Mrs. Luttrell was dead and that
Eve had gone away. He looked at Mrs.
Fitzosborne angrily when he heard.
''But YOU went to Eve when you
heard that she was alone in the worldT''
''My dear brother, why should III
You know that never thought her
good match for you."
Ambrose said no more, but the next
day he started for Sandybeach.
On the plateau at Idle Corner there

had been erected to the memory Of
Grace Luttrell a modest substantial
reading and coffee room, for the fisher
men and lads.
The elderly couple who were In charge
readily answered his questions, but he
scarcely needed telling that this MEM
orial owed its existence to Eve.
"Al the men had helped in it," his
informant added. They couldn't do
no less seeing what those dear young
ladies had done for them. Mrs. Lut-
trell was buried in the village church.
yard; 1t was her own wish, and they
tended grave amongst 'em. The how-
ers grow rarely upon it."
Where was Miss Annecy to be found?
She was a-governesslng somewhere in
one of the big cities, for, as they learned
afterward, she sunk her little all in the
building. and in making provisions for
its being properly kept up and taken
care of.
"Yes, she had left her address with
him, the old man added, ..for she was
pleased to hear from any Of the boys as
would write to her, and here it was. -
From an old book of devotions the
address was carefully drawn. The
writing was Ewes, and Mr.. Darlaston
left tear upon the paper.
She was at Manchester, and thither
he hastened, torn with many doubts.
In one of the pleasantest spots in the
vicinity of Manchester he found the
house to which he was directed. a
smart young gardener was sweeping up
leaves on the carriage-drive and vol
unteered the Information that there
was no one at home. Missus and the
young ladies had gone to the church to
see the governess married
Without replying, indeed scarcely
knowing what he did. Mr.. Darlaston
turned and walked away. This was a
punishment too thoroughly deserved to
be rebelled against. He had forsaken
Eve just as she needed the support of
his affection, and some braver, nobler
man had torn her from him.
He paused at the gate, and folding his
arms upon 1t, was meditating sorrow-
fully on this bitter disappointment,
when suddenly Eve stood before him,
older, more pensive, but not less beau
tiful than when he last saw her.
One shy, swift look at the face that
grew radiant at sight of her and Eve
fiuttered into his embrace, pity for the
lines suffering had left on his features
combining with the old love to make
him dearer than ever.
''But this is your wedding-day!" and
she was suddenly released.
