A New England manufacturer says that
street musicians are serious expense to
manufacturing companies in country towns.
Agypsy girl playing tambourine recently
passed his establishment. and, he says, cost
the company about $500. Every employee
in the big factory ran to window, and work
was suspended for fully quarter of an
hour. Every circus parade costs them hun
dreds OF dollars, and when minstrel brass
band marches by it costs from $25 to $50.
There is to be erected in New York city, a
monument to Nathan Hale, the Connecticut
youth who was hanged as spy by the
British in the Revolution. The society of
the Revolution have commissioned Frederick
MacMonies, a pupil of st. Gaudens now
studying in Paris, to make design, and they
expect to receive it within month. They
know where to get the money for it and have
secured the site, in the northwest corner of
City Hall park.

THE HON e.
FASHION NOTES.


Autumn brides will wear travelling gowns
of Henrietta cloth. Indiana cloth, French
camel's hair. mohair or bordered English
serge. and most of them will be made up
over silk skirts matching the wooden goods
in color.
1t is said that there will be no color con-
trasts in the autumn costumes, but toque,
gloves and wraps will be of the exact shade
of the gown with which they are worn.
Strings of gold beads are still worn as
necklaces.
Many rows Of narrow watered ribbon Will
edge the overdresses and Grecian draperies
OF autumn costumes. Also arabesque panqs
of silk cord, with special ornaments to match
for the bodice.
Despite all predictions to the contrary, the
Directoire redingote will be as popular as
ever during the fall, and in most cases Will
take the place OF any odhea strc cIot faii'ie'
Most of the new Directoire gowns have
their original severity of outline modified by
the addition of Empire vests, girdles, sashes
etc. :,
hairdressing just now is that the hair should
he loose and fluffy, which effect is attained
by careful washing, by curling iron, or by
additional hair which is naturally curly.
Stout women should avoid DeltS, horizon
tai rows of trimming and ornamentatlons a.
the top of sleeves.
The chief thing" says London dress
maker, sis to make the bodice SO that no
body shall know how you got into it.
Velvet is likely to reign supreme during
the fall and winter, not the figured and bro
caded varieties, but the plain, rich materia
from the looms of Lyons, and it will be uset
for entire costumes and elegant wraps, a.
well as for combinations and accessories.
Thick, heavy silks will take the place dur
ing the coming fall of the soft silks now sc
| extensively worn.
Very young ladies wear fichus which ar,
made Of extra wide sash ribbons. They ar
| Joined diagonally at the middle OF the back
and cross In front where few plaits fit then
to the figure, and are knotted at the waistlin
| at the back.
| A blouse waist which fits the figure per
fectly has number of fine plaits at the back
| which converge at the waist, and also OF
each side of the front. The collar and bel
are also tucked in fine rows.

The evidence, as published, makes out
pretty strong case against Gen. Boulanger,
and shows unquestionabiy that he was an
embezzler of the funds of the war depart
ment. His associates. too, were disreputable
lot, and his populations were largely for their
benefit. 1t is difficult to see after this dis
closure how the French people can longer
take stock in Boulanger. 1t will be said OF
course that he has not been heard in his owl
defence, but that is because he took himself
out Of the way, and when man does that Il
is generally accepted as equivalent to con

Sugar is upwards of dime a pound; but
the bees of Maine, humble Spreckles in theiI
way, are said to have provided an unusually
plentiful supply Of honey. Penobscot bee
keepers tell the Dexter Gazette that this an
excellent year for both bees aud honey. The
principle trouble seems to be that there has
been too much swarming. This is said to
come of the fact that the bees have gathered
honey faster than other bees have built
combs to receive it and that part of the de,
voted to breeding purposes becomes clogged
with honey. Whatever the reason is, the
fact remains that this year is good one for
honey.

who have been attending the National Con-

them that they were under arrest. Their re-

said that he had his orders and must carry
them out They, in much perplexity, march

man was met The officer who made the ar
rest then turned his prisoners over to the
second officer with the smiling remark that
he had received instructions to arrest all
persons from Maine found wandering about
! the streets. 1t seems that the officer was
formerly a resident Of OldtowD, and, recog

Hurley was also Maine man, had arrested
