The Authorised Beef Bill Discussed in
the Assembly.
ALBANY, April 6.-After the preliminary
business was disposed Of the assembly went
into committee of the whole on the anti
dressed beef bill. Mr.. Nixon, the introducer,
made long speech in exp anation and
advocacy of the bill, repeating arguments
made before the committee. Mr.. Crosby
thought the bill was disingenuous. While il
was ostensibly introduced for the purpose OF
preserving public health, and while it wa
skillfully and ingeniously drawn to avoid un.
constitutionality, the bin was really for the
purpose of preventing competition of western
with eastern dealers. Messrs. Saxton and
Ainsworth were equally opposed to the meas
ure, while Mr.. Upson, of Onondago, defended
it. The discussion was prolonged for a con-
siderable time, much interest being showI
in it.

SPRING FASHION NOTES.

Alpaca is likely to be a favorite stuff
this spring. IL comes plain, in stripes,
and with flower and lace patterns printed
over it.
Etruscan red and the shade of terra
Gotta with tinge of copper in the sheen
are much used in combination gowns of
fine wool and silk.
Colder garter clamps richly chased and
set with diamonds, ruby or turquois are
among the things one may buy for his
own women folk
Flame de pouch is one Of the newest
Partisan colors 1t is of an amber-violet
shade, the exact color spirit takes when
subject to ire.
The pretty new Toreador vests are
made wholly of embroidery to wear be-
meath the Empire jackets of velvet, ac-
companying stylish home toilets.
Fringe, which has been banished from
the repertoire $50 to speak, of the mod
iste for many long year, reappears as
trimmings for plain skirts and sashes.
It must be of the best quality.
The so-called Greek Polonaise is a
princess garment cut full upon the right
shonlder and draped across slightly
below the left hip. The back falls quite
straight and at the front there are
breadths reaching from the belt to the
foot under the polonaise
The directoire collars, with cuffs to
match, are the latest novelty in these
goods They are one-eighth of a yard
deep, made Of Hamburg lace or combina-
tion of lace and embroidery, plated full
into band, which fastens smoothly
around the high dress collar.
There are at least twenty-five different
and distinct shades of green visible in the
great emporia of fashion this year, rang
ing from the palest water tints to the
deep moss and myrtle shades, all the
varying tones displayed in nature being
perfectly reproduced in art.
Parasols of rich brocade have sticks
that show half yard when closed. One
style has ribbon so placed about the
edge as to form cluster of upright loops
when the article is not in use. Sun um
brellas are of plain silk with handles
just eight inches longer than their ribs.
Draperies are seen upon the skirts OF
nearly all of the spring gowns, but they
are of soft and clinging, with no suspi'
cion of bouffancy about the hips and back
The Greek apron is very much used. II
fails straight and opens at one side, and
is drawn up in full jabot folds under g
big cabbage bow upon the other.
The jacket is utterly out Of place ovel
directoire gown. Instead, one must
wear either mantle with four capes al
the back and long fronts with wide lapel'
at top, or else six capes all around made
in cloth of two colors, simply cut upon
the edges and finished at the throat with
high collar and sfamboyant bow O.
ribbon.
Buckles, clasps, slides and hoops in cut
STEEL gold, silver, onyx, jet or pearl arr
used with free hand this spring, botl
in millinery and in the formation of sty
lish Empire and Directoire costumes
Braids Of silk, gold, silver and soutach'
are still highly popular as dress trim
mings; these put on in rows or crossing
each other in Grecian and other designs

THE Chester Times says;
Wilmington people have forgotten to
turn the gas down during last quarter,
and are now staggering under the size Of

The esteemed Times is in error The
people did not forget to turn down the
gas, but the gas company forgot that the
previous bills had been paid and sent out
bills for both quarters. The peculiar
method of mathematics by which less gas
at a lower price amounts to greater
sum than more gas at higher price, is
unknown outside Of the gas Office. THAI
