ing to Lady Readers.

Ing to Lady Readers.
A few muffs of velvet or dress ma.
jerial have a broad band OF duck 8
breast down the middle.
The violin gown is pretty, simple
md very much worn. 1t consists of
IN accordion-plaited skirt, full or
tucked waist, finished by broad sash,
with high pulled sleeves.
A full skirt of pea-gree crepe,
!ooped at irregular intervals over a
oetticoat of dark-green velvet, a velvet
Oirectoire coat with full crepe bust,
will make a becoming gown for a
blonde.
Quite new arrangement for the boa
IS to pin one end to the dress front,
Draw it around the neck and carry it
down to the left side of the waist quite
lnder the arm. Pin here again and
let this one end hang.
Patent leather has been largely sup
planted by the kid and satin shoes.
This is hardly cause for grief, as the
constant contraction and expansion of
the varnish by heat and cold rendered
them disagreeable for constant wear.
Fans, or rather the originality of
their makers, have relaxed sadly of
late. The same lace. gauzes and rib
bons are used again and again with
the fewest variations. Shaded ostrich
feathers can not be called new, but
seem to turn the scale in the balance
of popularity.
The English nainsooks and wool
challis have a soft quality and are
delicately tinted, but the new Ameri-
can stamped China silks and cheap
challis have failed to catch the we'll
modulated tones of color, graceful de-
signs and fine texture common to the
imported material.
A pink silk gown finished recently
for a pretty young woman, just out, was
trimmed about the top of the bodice
and down a broad side-panel of the
skirt with curling delicate green ostrich
plumes. Long feathers decorated the
waist, while short overlapping tips
were used upon the skirt.
Ginghams bid fair to open the spring
season with a flourish. Already many
shop windows are piled high with bolts
of stripes and plaids in every shade.
Some of these will make charming
house and street dress, dignified by a
touch of velvet, or, even better, made
up with extreme simplicity.
The new spring muffs and boas are
of short. stiff, little cock plumes. The
muff is small and the boa very short.
This latter admits only of a loop about
the neck and two short ends to hang.
AS yet only gray ones have been seen
with the gray costumes, but any color
may be obtained.
Just now all far-seeing women are
shopping with the same vigor they
ever displayed in the fall. But this
time it is all in preparation for the
coming summer. Counters displaying
piles of light-colored goods surmounted
by placard announcing the name and
price is sure to attract purchasers.
The square toe. used with so much
comfort in an ordinary walking-shoe,
is now being slowly engrafted on the
high-heeled satin and kid slipper. II
is now no longer considered necessary
to compress the tenderest part of the
foot to gain fine point. and those who
wear the square toes find greater ease
and pleasure in dancing.-N. Y. World.

A Genuine Old Viking.

DR.. Faitiof Nansen, the explorer Of
Greenland, is typical Norseman. Il
live much in the pine forests" he says;
"they are 80 solemn" He is a true
child of the mountains and tho woods,
and passed most of his early days in
their seclusion. He travels for days
together independent of luggage and
great coats, sleeping with the peasants
in their wooden huts, or on deck of a
ford steamer, while his English travel
ing companions crouch in the cabins
huddled in rugs and great coats. He
is agile as gazelle; with one bound he
leaps ashore, and secures the best
rooms at the hotels, or jumps bare
backed on the ponies he may chance to
meet on his mountain rambles. He is
generally known among his English
friends as the "Viking"-indeed, he
comes of true old Morse blood. Walk
ing along the shores of the beautiful
Sogno Fiord at Balholmen, by the
runic stone known as the tomb of 1'hiuj
Belle, he would recite tho ancient
"Sagas" of love and war. and the gal
liant deeds of the seventh century hero
whose name he bears. He is q thorough
democrat in principles, although Of
noble birth. All aristocratic titles have
been abolished in Norway by act Of
Parliament, and in his family the last
title becomes extinct.-London Truth.

The Southern Presbyterians.

CHATTANOOGA, May 23.-In the South.
ern General Assembly, today, the report
OF the Committee on Sabbath Observance
recommended that the Assembly endorse
the petition to change Inauguration Day
to the first Wednesday in March, or the
last Wednesday in April, and to prohibit
work on the Sabbath and the Assembly
request the officers and members OF the
church to refrain from all travel on Sun
day, excepting in cases of mercy. The
report was docketed. The question ofco
operation with the Northern church was
then called. The special committee
which had considered the report of the
Conference committees, submitted ma
iority report favoring the adoption of the
Recommendation to cooperate, and a
minority report opposing it. The entire
afternoon session was devoted to the dis
cussion. Not all the members spoke, but
the sentiment is overwhelmingly in sup
port of cooperation. A report recon-
mending organic union would, however,
| fail. One of the strongest protests made
| was by Girardeau, of South Carolina
The adoption Of the report to cooperate
said he, was step towards organic
union. If 30, the question is whether the
Assembly will sacrifice the union of the

union with the Northern Church. '',

The discussion was continued till 6
late hour tonight. When everyone hat
been given an opportunity to speak,
vote ives taken, and ninety-nine vote
were cast in favor of corporation, an
twenty-seven in opposition, the ful
strength of the Assembly not being rep
resented. The report was declare

The Valkyrie's performance was greeted
with hearty cheers by the spectators on

great confidence in her future.
The Times calls the Valkyrie's perform
ance a brilliant display of light weather
speed. TT was no mean performance to
beat the Garana by upwards of four
minutes and the Irex by Is minutes in a
dead beat, in light breeze, to the north
east. Solong as the breeze evenly served
out, the Valkyrie was always able to
keep the Garana tight pinned under her
lee, and she was by far the fastest boat
with the sheets off. Toward the end the
Valkyrie was favored to some extent by
luck"
The Valkyrie was exceptionally smart
in weatheriug the steamer at the More,
not yard being wasted. The day was
supposed to be in favor of the Garana,
but the wind was light and variable, and
afforded no chance of showing her best

LONDON, May % The cutter Valkyrie
to. day competed in race against the
Irex and Garana. The proposed course
was from Gravesend around the Mouse
Lightship and back. Owing to the abb
sence of wind, however, they only went
to the More and back. The finish was q

easily. To-day's race proved an infin-
itely better test of the Valkyrie than
Wednesdays race, which was virtually
over the same course. The Valkyrie

The Northern Presbyterians.

New YORK, May 22.-In the Presby.
terian General Assembly, to-day, the re-
port of the Committee on Education
showed that, because OF want of funds to
educate young men for the ministry, an
unusually large number of churches are
without pastors. Rev. DIR. Ferris, of Illi-
nois, and Rev. DIR. Poor, Secretary OF the
Board of Education, spoke upon the re-
port. The burden of their remarks was
that money must be had or the work of
educating young men will be seriously
affected. The report of the Committee on
Conference on fraternal cooperation in
Christian work with the Southern Church
was called upon. Committees of both
churches agreed upon cooperation in
foreign mission work, cooperation in the
home field, and, in reference to coopera-
people in both churches, that it be al
lowed to remain in statu quo, the work
among them to proceed on the same
lines as before. A minority report,
signed by Judge Breckenridge, holding
that nothing short of organic union be-
tween both churches was desirable or
practicable was also filed. Part of the
work, relative to cooperation in foreign
misslou WOfK, WaS passed.. Inc second
part on cooperation in the home field was
opposed by Rev. John Fox, who held
that the Northern Church had already
proposed marriage to the Southern
Church and was rejected and part of the
report under discussion bound them to
too close ties with the South. DR.. G. L.
Thompson said it would be an economy
of men and means if the report was
adopted. Curry and Fulton of Kentucky
opposed the resolutions. Rev. DIR.
Crosby supported the majority report.
Zone of the grounds of complaint against
it," he said, sis that the Northern Church
has more money than the Southern
church, and therefore the Southern
Church would reap the greater advan-
tage by this union. This ought to be a
source of qualification to us, rather than
of complaint" A vote was then taken,
and the clauses on home missions
passed.
The question of cooperation in the
evangelization of the colored people was
next taken up; but, the hour of adjourn
ment having arrived, it was postponed.

How They Were Hoodwinked.

New York, May 23.-The trial OF VIM.
E. Howard, of Electric Sugar Refining
notoriety, was begun in the Court oi
General Sessions today. The first wit
ness was President Cotterill, of the Re-
fning Company, whose examination
broug ght out the story OF the great sugar
swindle. The President described how
the interested parties were allowed tc
look at the refining apparatus without
touching anything, and were then asked
to step outside till the result of the ex
pertinent should be shown them. They
saw the machinery and the result, but
they did not witness the process.

COOK COUNTY ASYLUM.
The Way the Public Money rs
FiIched by Political III eelers.


CHICAGO, May 23.-Dr. @. Levenger
was on the stand to-day in the insane
asylum investigation. He told how the
employees. backed by political influence,
refused TO recognize the authority of the
superintendent. Being asked about the
expensiveness of Cock County Asylum
as compared with State institu-
tions, he said that in State in
stitutions the rate is about IS
per capita per month, while in the
Cook County Asylum it is at least $12:
He believes that Cook county has paid
as high as $50 per month per capita.
Most of the expense was for whisky.
With 1,500 patients in Kankakee (the
Northern State Asylum). the liquor bills
amount to 5000 or $500 per year. In
Chicago, with an average of 500 or 900
people, the same bills amounted to $4,000
or $4 900. The excessive cost was largely
due to stealing.

An interesting and important case has just been decided in the Common Pleas court at Litchfield, entitled Charlotte s. Lennon, administrators against Willis A. Strong. It was an action on war ranty endorsed on a note in the following words: s.I warrant the within note good and collectible until paid" The points decided are: First, that the guaranty held good so long as the note was un- paid; second, that suit brought against the maker seven years after the making of the guaranty was seasonably brought to hold the guarantor; third, that there was no legal quibble which could defeat this liability of the guarantor; fourth, that the assignment of the note to d third person carried the guaranty with it to the purchaser.
