WHAT THEY WEAR.

London sanctions for street wear long yeils of gray gauge tied in a big bow under the chin.
 The empire gown admits of no bustle, but what it lacks in that particular it more than makes up in sash.
 Bridal tea gowns are of India silk with fronts of cream lace, which also shows in an opening at the back of the skirt.
 Vests of gay surah, with Vatican embroi- dery are worn in Paris on the street under coats of fine black or suede wool
 Coat sleeves are still worn, but the skin tight sausage roll variety so long rampant has given way to an easier shape. White and pink are so much the brides maids colors that a bevy of them strongly suggests the belated apple blossoms. In silk the old fashioned lustrous taffeta and soft twilled surah with chine figures are more new than either pretty or serviceable. The handsomest empire gown yet seen is of black net with gold embroidery and spangles and big moire sash with gold balls at the ends.
 To have your best girl pin faith to you, buy her one of the single hair or hat pins with head of cape garnet set in braided gold wire.
 Green in all shades from apple to serpent copper, terra cotta, Indian and Siam reds and mouse gray are the preferred shades for ! spring wear.
 Full sleeves come more and more in fash ion, and among shapes the leg of mutton is the one oftenest chosen, especially for lace or other thin stuff.
 Flounces are very much revived, and may be put on the skirt pretty much as you will, provided only that you do not let them go regularly over it.
 The very latest brooch adaptation of the superserviceable horseshoe is two shoes of sil- yer, whereof the smaller hangs from the lat ter by @ golden nail.
 London dressmakers have revived the ze- bra effect by making many skirts with the fronts quite plain and trimmed with fat bands of contrasting color.
 Dinner gowns for summer are made short, and for white ones blonde lace over moire, with gold passementerie and standing collar of gold braid, is voted stylish. | For his India silk gowns Worth chooses the most famboyant patterns, and makes l them up with full skirts festooned with lace, or else with lace or silk founces. | Picture dresses are the rage with the fair Parisiennes, and are copied to the minutest detail from the first empire, the directory or the reigns of the last three Louises.
 The new straw embroidery is the most stylish garniture for white canvas and crepe line corsages, though they may have bare suspicion of steel or gilt passementerie. | Corsages run more and more to extremes, are either short, round and very fully draped, l, or else preternaturally long, straight and slender, both in outline and in ornament. White blonde over skirt of white moire, with many loops and big cabbage bows of moss green or bright yellow faille ribbon, is bridesmaids gown that has the merit of oddity.
 Many imported gowns are wholly without steels, and have but the bare suspicion of a cushion at the top; but the best native mod istes use still a moderate reed, put twelve to fifteen inches below the belt.-New York l Commercial Advertiser

THE police force must feel highly satis- fled with the result of it's winters work. It has not fructifed to any great extent at the present term of the superior court Two officers were fined $20 and $50 fol failing to detect burglar at work in city hall, and now the burglar, who was sub- sequently obtained, is virtually placed upor his good behavior. Brennan is young and it is to be hoped will profit by the lesson There is more justice in the su- perior court than in the board of police commissioners.

THE lack of proper accommodations for prisoners at the police station were never more apparent than during the present sitting of the criminal side of the SUI perior court in this city. But the one objection to erecting police station in the rear of the city hall building is also made apparent. The air in the district court room has been almost stifing The air was so foul the first day that every win dow in the court room had to be opened, Judge Carpenter remarking that he must have air or he would not stay in the room.

THE tramp law in this state is dead failure, at least so far as the Waterbury superior court is expected to enforce it. Nine of the eleven knights of the road who were brought before this term of the su perior court in this city were released yes terday and the other two will probably be discharged to day. It is almost impossi- ble to find jury of intelligent and just men who will find an ordinary tramp guilty. In many cases tramps become such through necessity and travel about the country in search of honest labor, and of the worst and lowest type of the fraternity there are comparatively few who will refuse work. The law imposing state prison penalty is unnecessarily severe, and until it is modi- fled will not be strictly enforced. A month or two in jail would bleach out and sober up the worst of them, and would answer all requirements. This practice of trying tramps before the superior court, to be re- leased, is an expensive one.
 THE senate committee on interstate commerce, which has for several weeks been considering a series of amendments to the inter state commerce law, has reached conclusion on the subject of under billing, and will report an amend ment to the law, providing in substance that any agent or employee of railroad, who shall knowingly assist any shipper in obtaining transportation for property at less than the regular rates, by means of false billing, false classification, false weighing, or false report of weight, or by any other device or means, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and for each offence shall be subject to fine of not exceeding 5000, or for Imprisonment not exceeding two years or both, in the discretion of the court.
