FOR THE LADIES

! The Directoire dress is the mos
fashionable style for ball dresses thi
winter, and Grape is tho material mos
in vogue.
Eelveteen in various shades of ligh
or dark colors is beng much used f0
evening dresses for young girls ant
children.
| The jacket-bodice remains in grea'
favor. 1t is made perfectly tight-fit
ting, making the waist long, little II
the shape of pear.
New striped llmousines are very
pretty in style and coloring. AS a
rule stripes are fashionable, more es.
pecially fancy stripes with effective
contrasts Of color.
Cloth dresses are being trimmed with
gold gallon, with much applique trim
mlngs in plush, and with some exceed
ingly handsome silk crochet trimmings,
as we'll as bralding and fur.
Partisan ladies are patronizirg Irish
lace extensively. Mdme Carnot, the
Presidents wife, leads the way, and at
recent reception at the Eiysee many
of the best dressed women wore Irish
point as a trimming on their gowns.
In plain fabrics the most in vogue al Q
thick, soft Thibet cloth with hairy SUI;
face, double-twilled cheyoit, thick
warm Indian viyogue, double French
merino, twilied cashmere. and soft,
smooth ladies' cloth. The latter is also
much worn in narrow stripes.
The winter evening dresses Of 1889
will ba remarkable for their beauty, if
only on account of the furs that will
adorn them. Those who have sable
tails, sable borders, OR indeed good furs
of any kind, and plenty Of them, will
be in the front places Of fashion, and
far women are rejoicing at the effect
i've iuxtaposition of soft dark furs with
their white skins.
A lovely feather.trimmed toilette
says Paris correspondent, is of pale
pink silk and crepe, and has the waist
coat covered with smooth, pink feath~
ers, and epaulets OF the same, while a
ruche of feathers borders the skirt.
Feather .collarettes and sleeve trim
mings are remarkably pretty in light
colors on dresses of cream OR white
lace; the feather ornaments ara some
times in white or cream to match the
lace
Fringes OF all descriptions are i'm.
mensely used, they are very deep, with
network headings; but Of all the trim
mings used in the characterization Of
bali and evening dresses, none are so
fashionable as feathers, not only smooth
hacklo feathers, but curled ostrich
feathers and peacocks' feathers, the
colors Of which harmonize beautifully
with some OF the shades of Empire
green and blue. Skirts are made with
two panels, ons covered with peacocks'
feathers, the other embroidered with
flowers or arsbesques worked with
gem like beads, the colors of which COZ
respond with those of the feathers.
Sometimes the large feathers are copied
in embroidery, and the smaller ones
are used as borders for edging the
Sleeves.

Glover was badly whipped in the Cali

prominent local amateur. The latter
entered the professional ranks to meet
Glover and gave him terrible beating.
Though ten pounds heavier. Glover was
never really in the fight. Choinski out
spared him. Out-f0ught at long and
short range and hit three times AS hard.
Glover was knocked out in the four
teenth round and had to be carried
from the ring. He lost half his teeth
and his face was beaten TO jelly. He
will probably he confined to his bed for
aweek. Choinski escaped without a
scratch, barring slight confusion over
the left eye. He is only twenty years
old. and this is his first professional
battle. Glover was in good form, and
Choinski's victory over him will give
him backing for any amount over
almost any 150-pound man in the coun-
try. The fight created great interest
here, becauge Of the fact that Cnoinski
was born and bred here. and because
Glover had made so plucky fight
against Joe McAuliffe.

LONDON, Feb. 2S.-The Times to-day,

the apology rendered by Attorney Gen
eral Webster before the Parnel)
commission for the publication of
the forged letters and continues:
1--WE desire to indorse as appropriate
every word of the foregoing statement.
1t is our wish, as it is our duty to do so.
Moreover, Mr.. Parnell having in the
witness box stated that the letters are
forgeries, we accept in every ,re-
spect the truth of that stste-
ment. In these circumstances
we deem it right to express. our
regret. most fully and sincerely, at hav-
ing been induced to publish the, letters
as Mr.. Parnell's or to use them in evil
dence against him. This expression of
regret includes also the letters falsely
attributed to Mr. Egan. Mr.. Davitt and
Mr.. O'kelly. 1t is scarcely fitting now
o enter into the circum-
stances under which we re-
ceived and published them. We
are bound, however, to point out that
Pigott was not the person with whom
we communicated. Moreover, we mnst
add that we firmly believed that the let
tiers were genuine until the disclosures
made by Pigott on clOss-eXamination.
1t must be evident to all reason.
able prisons that if conspiracy
existed, the Times was victlmized
by, and not a party to it. Errors in
judgment may have been committed.
and for them the penalty must be paid.
1t must clearly be understood that what
we have done is altogether upon our
own motion and our own responsibility.
and in the public interest alone. This
withdrawal, of course. refers exclusive
ly to the letters obtained from Pigott."

Mr.. Parnell informing me that he has
acted upon my suggestion and ac-
cepted the offer made by b. You had
better at once proceed to Dundalk, so
that there may DE no time lost. Yours
very faithfully, p. EGAN."
Mr.. Parnell wrote Pigott in connee-
tion with this same matter of the pur-
chase of the papers:
House of Commons, June 16. ISL
r. Pigott. ESQ.,, Dublin--Dear Sir: In
reply to yonrs of this date j am sure
you will feel that l shall always be
anxious to do what can for you, but l
could not consent to one of the contli
tions of the purchase being your con-
slant employment on the paper. That
is matter which would have to be sub
ject to after arrangement. Yours very
truly, CHARLES S. PARNELL."
And out of this letter PigOtt manu-
factured two letters, purporting to be
addressed to Mr. Egan, using the same
date with the exception of the last
figure in the year, transposing the Ian
guage and filling out with words traced
from other letters.
''June 16, lSS2.-Dear Sir: I am sure
that you will feel that could not ap-
pear in parliament in the face of this
thing unless condemned it. Our posi-
ton there is always difficult to main
tain; it would be untenable but for the
course we took. That is the truth. /
can say no more. Yours very truly,
CHARLES S. PARNEIL.
Mr.. Egan also furnishes copies OF
their correspondence regarding the sale
of the paper and Pigott'S attempt to
blackmail him, but they have already
been published in substance.

E. GoOding has gone on ahead and has
arranged number of exhibitions to be

fident that he has chance to win the
fight with Jackson, and last night rea-
soned it out to his own satisfaction
thus: II licked Bradburn, and Brad
burn licked Glover. Glover gave Jack
McAuliffe a good fight, although he has
recently been defeated by an amateur.
Consequently l figure it out that Nc
Auliffe was a second-clasS man, and
that Jackson. who defeated him, did not
perform such a mighty feat as people
seem to think. Still. | think jackson
