Tha Feminine Bang.

Probably no fashion or fancy has taken
so firm a hold on the feminine portion of
the population as has the bang, which is
now celebrating the eighteenth year of it's
reign. In the face Of ridicule and criticism
it has held its own since 1871, when in
some inexplicabie name it made its ap-
pearance upon certain fashionable brows.
In a short time all classes had adopted the
white fringe, as it was then styled by the
The general a~daptability to
almost any type of face for its
popularity, and although decried and
c~aricatured it has never lost its hold upon
the female heart. First came the severely
straight fringe across the forehead, be-
coming TO SO few maidens. Then the
curled bang was introduced not to take
it's place, but to share its popularity.
Montague bangs came next, with then
suggestion of soap, water aud bandoline.
Then the "Langtry," introduced by the
Jersey Lily, necessitated u sacrifice of all
the long locks on the crown of the head,
whereas heretofore only a short fringe
had been worn on the forehead.
The Russian bangs, short and sharp
pointed, We'd with the saucer-Shaped until
Mrs. Cleveland changed the entire COM
plexion of events by wearing the pompa-
hour bang, made SO popular by her first
photographs, which were sent broadcast
over the land. Girls with broad, clear
foreheads at once brushed back their hair
retaining only the soft rings OF hair On the
side, a la Cleveland. Nowthat the fair
young mistress OF the White House has
been deposed, something new in the hair
dressing line has been brought into fash
ion. 1t is here, and evidently here to
stay. If you should happen TO meet a girl
on the fashionable thoroughfare with o.
circular patch on her forehead, think not
that she has been wounded in apugilstic
encounter, or il she be a brunette, that
she is carrying a small stoye-lid directly
over the bridge Of her nose. but ren1em-
Der that this is the very latest fad in

A Paper.

The press of advertising which COM
PEELED us to bring out yesterday for
the second time a six-page paper shows
that the prosperity which we congrat-
ulated ourselves on last week was not
a spasmodic thing but was the out
growth of the confidence with which
THE JERSEY Cry NEWS is regarded
by the business public.
By q remarkable conjuncture of
circumstances, yesterday was n of
the newsiest days that this city has
known since we began publication.
The ample space at our disposal en-
abled us to do justice to this, and thus
it happens that while we had rather
more space taken up by advertise
ments than the Eoening Journal, we
were yet able to leave it in the gloom
lest kind of shade in the matter of
news
We desire to draw the attention of
the reading public to the following
list of important news stories which
were fully presented in THE JERSEY
Cry NEWS, and of which the Euen-
ing Journal did not have a single
word
ROCHE WILL CONTEST. AN ac-
count of the steps taken by Mr.. James
Roche to contest the election of Mr..
Bruggemann as Directorate Large.
MONEY DR. YOUR LIFE."-An ac-
count of the sensational attack ON a
lady in her w house by a burglar
armed with a sandbag and pistol.
"ALMosT A CATASTROPHE The
cofralling of a horse car between the
gates of the Newark avenue crossing
while a train was approaching.

amusing story of a drill by colored

BROKE THE BOYS HEAD.n-A
probable murder by a Waterman in
West Hoboken.
"FouND THEIR Son DEAD.n-The

"ANTI-L-RoAD MEETING."-A re-
port OF the proceedings OF protesting
Bergen citizens.
In addition to these clean BEATS
we had the best account of the Fourth
Ward meeting, the Trades Assembly
meeting, the Gluecklich inquest and
the McGrane suicide.

mems Column, the State News, Per

A gentleman stepped into the office
to say the paper was the best newspa-

The public thought so, too, fornear-

usual went over the counter.

just sixteen persons represented
the opposition to the SIP road pro-

owners; but they did not explain why
it did not materialize. The sixteen,
however, were quite resolved that
they would fight the road in the

That is just about the size and

projects usually assumes. Here are

The women OF ronnuin.

Both men and women in Tonquin wear
their hair long and twisted up into q kind
OF chignon or the top OF the head. 1t is,
OF course. always lanky and jet black.
The dress is of the most simple kind.
The men wear a loose jacket and trous-
ers, and the ONE q long, straight shift
reaching from neck to heels. The Anna
mite man is a very poo creature. and it
is only among the upper classes that one
sees occasionally a well formed or hand
some face, with some elevation or dignity
OF expression. The women are much bet
ter looking, and would often be pretty
except for the stained mouth and teeth,
which renders them horrible t a Euro
pean eve. But in figure they are much
the most favored of any seen in the East,
and in the course of a walk i'll Hanoi you
may meet a dozen who are straight
enough and strong enough and shapely
enough to serve as a s%culptor's models.
Their native dance is a buriesque of the
Japanese, to the accompaniment of a
fiddle six feet long. The few women you
see with clean mouths and white teeth
are almost sure to be the mistresses of
Europeans.

Girl and Novel Suppressed.

A certain society young woman of
Washington is gossiped about in an I'M
pleasant manner. She is the daughter of
a prominent official, has borne an excel
len reputation and is beautiful, but she
has become possessed of an ambition to
shine as an errotic novelist. She has
studied Amelie Rives carefully, and has
devoted some little time to Miss Abb
Jackman, who denuded her brain before
the public in such an unblushing
ner. She had her work almost com
pleted, and ii it mad ever reached book
form the covers would nave fairly quiv-
cred with passion, She did not pause at
the limit-she stepped completely over it.
In fact, she went so far as to employ two
words that are not in the dictionary.
The work was complete, and it was read
by a publisher, who agreed to spring the
sensation on the public, but the young
woman's parents began an investigation
just in time to save her, temporarily at
least, from q very unenyiable notoriety.
Her father could not be persuaded that
ali the time she spent in her room was
devoted to social correspondence and her
toilet. Finally he found out the truth,
and there never was a more surprised
parent than he. The book was sup
pressed in its incipiency and the young
lady is in a fair way to receive the benefit
of a protracted European tour under
rigid chaperonage.

Low Neclsed Dresses.

Whether fashion is a matter of simple
impulse or definite development it's
power, either positive or in resistance, is
altogether beyond question. Perhaps, of
all other instances which prove this,
none could be more convincing than the
way in which necks have been stolidly
Indifferent to attacks of any kind what
ever, careless of examples to the on
trary, and defiant of express degrees in
opposition to them. Tradition tells how
young Louis XIII. once flung a glass Of
wine into the neck of a lady too con-
spicuous in her attire-or lack of it; and
in like manner one of the pastors of our
early settlements, Father Galitzin, of Eb-
densburg, Pa, having noticed a woman
in his congregation in a low necked dress,
presently, in his parade down the aisle
singing asperges ana sprinkling the as
sembled people with holy water, he
dashed q liberal supply where he thought
her dress ought to have been, and passed
grimly on.
Charlotte Elizabeth, of Bavaria, second
wife of Louis XIV, began to cover her
own neck with gauze or lace in summer
and with niineyer in winter, and then all
snow white marble, alabaster and other
kinds OF skins were for O time aeclipSed
by the "Palatines," as the coverings were
known from her being daughter to the
Elector Palatine. The name in England
seems to nave been reserved for thicker
~tipDets, and the thinner shelter to nave
been called the modesty piece, subse-
quently reduced to the tucker, Ia certain
female ornament" Anne, humdrum
Queen of England thought she may nave
been, was a better woman, bent upon
preventing improperly, and so extremely
solicitouS for strict decoruln that she was
hurt because Bolingbroke once, when
summoned in a hurry, came into the
royal presence in a Ramellise or tie wig
instead of a full dress wig.-Domestjc

Queer Stories Af1oat About the Wild
Newark Paper.
A story has been current in Newark to
the effect that James Smith, Jr., and
Gottfried Kruger had buried the Ratchet
and accepted the olive branch extended
by Assemblyman-elect Charles Trefz and
Frank M. McDermit, and had even gone
so far as to enter into a business partner
ship with the latter in Sunday Standard
Company. 1t was said that q ~reorganiza-
tion of the paper had been effected, that
a capital stock of $50, 600 had been paid
up, and that James Smith, Jr., was to be
president of the company, Gottfried
Kruger treasurer, Frank M. McDermit,
counsel, and Charles Trefz and Frederick
Leonard, directors.
James Smith, Jr., accompanied by his
father, was driving down Broad street
this morning when intercepted by a New
ark EUening NelOs reporter.

Smith, laughing. II guess ! had better
solicit my friends to join the new COM
pany. There's Billy Brown; he may have
caused this thing to be published by way
of a joke on me. Ask Brown"
Mr.. Smith chirruped to his steed and
drove off.
Mr.. McDermit said that the report was
as true as gospel.

blyman, as he stroked his mustache.

Joseph Atkinson said that the new COM
pany would erect q fine building.
"On the roof we will have a statue of
liberty and a l~ife-siZe figure of General
Grub declining a second term,o said Mr..
Atkinson.
Fred Leonard, law partner of Frank
McDermit, WIGS more prosaic than he
others. "The report is rather premature"
said he, ''but who knows what may come
to pass?n
,'Of course, " McDermit said on a second
be made a Clerk of the Board of Free
holders. That's part of the new con-
tract.o
Some people say that there is GOODNESS
between Trefz and McDermit, which bids
fair to sever their present relations.

A Low Cost Dress.

Today met a lady friend who is able
to buy the handsomest dresses in New
York, and | saw that she wore a neat
ladylike gown of dark gray flannel cloth,
trimmed with black braid, and made in
a neat and simple but very taking style.
/ fell in love with the dress, and she told
me that she had made it herself and that
braid, buttons and material had cost her
just $3.50, and she enumerated the arti-
Gle, and | found it so. There are a dozen
of fall materials that are all wool and
which will make up very pretty suits
from twelve to twenty-five cents per yard.
OF course a dressmaker would have run
the price up, but she said that she en-
joyed the making OF her dress.-OliUe

Mustaches in the Pulpit.

BY the kindness of two of my nieces.
daughters of the late B. B. Hotchkin,
d. D., your former Philadelphia CORE
spondent, ] noticed a short article in your
issue from the pen of the Rev. Sylvester
Cowles. He says:-''Deafness Has come
SO that | cannot hear common preaching
unless l sit near the speaker and see his
lips move, and then, if he is half barbar-
ian and don't shave his upper lip, I can't
understand much except words which
have b or p in them that bring his lips
together Now my own case much
resembles his. / I'M two years his Junior
and very deaf. | usually take a second
seat from the pulpit, and if the speaker
has a clear voice and no hair on the upper
lip, | can keep the run of the discourse
very well; but if he wears a mustache I
get no food. / am glad there is one man
who has the courage to bring the subject
up before the people. / personally know
of cases where candidates for good pull
pits have been rejected because of tine
mustache on the upper lin. To many in
the house of God it looks cranky, and is
distastef /. No minister has any right

through a lock of hair before it reaches

tion of women in Oxford has just cele-
brated It's tenth year of organization, and
is well pleased with the progress made.
There are now three halls for women
students in Oxford-Lady Margaret,
Somerville and st. Hugh's. The life at
the different halls is the same in it's broad
outlines, although each one has its special
characteristics. Each student has one
room, which is used at night for a sleep
ing room and in the daytime for a sitting
room and study. The daily routine at
the college begins with the chapel bell at
eight O'Clock; breakfast at quarter past
eight. Students linger in the library to
cnat and read the daily papers for half an
hour or so after breakfast, but by half
past nine O'Clock most of them have gone
off to read in their rooms. or to lectures
in the town.
These are given either at the rooms of
the association for women's education,
or at the mems colleges. The examina-
tlons at oxford are known as pass" or
"honors." The standard of the former is
estimated to correspond with that of
AuOueFAblUA. lHe nODOrS eAdillua-
tons either aim at a standard analogous
to the mems honor examinations-as in
the case OF literature and modern Ian
guage-or are identical with them, as in
natural science and modern history
schools. Most of the teaching for the
pass" examinations and for the two
first honor schools is given by univer-
sity lecturers and tutors at the association
rooms. For the last four named honor
examinations, the women students attend
lectures at the mems colleges, and read
privately with university tutors. Honor
students are admitted to the Bodleian
library.
Lunch at the halls is an informal meal.
which begins at one O'Clock. The after
noon is mostly devoted to walks, tennis.
boating on the Irwell, and other amuse-
ments. Four O'Clock is tea time, and the
festive time of the day in the halls. Tea
parties are frequent, a guests come
from without as well as rom within the
halls. AT such entertainments shop is
tabooed by etiquette. The time between
tea n dinner is given to work. An
other half an hour after dinner is devoted
to social purposes; after that comes even
ing prayers, and work begins again, to be
carried on for a period long or short, &C
cording to the discretion of each student.
Cocoa parties at ten O'Clock is a form of
dissipation that finds favor with the Ok
ford girls. The students at the different
halls meet at lectures, and they have q
debating society which holds fortnightly
discussions alternately at Somerville and
Lady Margaret halls. There is also a
tennis match between them every term.
Each hall has it's own societies-literary.

Shutdown, westward traleth a red streak;
One white sea bird poised with scarce motion
Challenges the stiffness with shrek;
Challenges the Stiffness. upward wheeling,
Where some rocky peak containeth her rude
nest,
While the shadows DER the water they come
stealing,
As they whisper 70 the silence: There is restl''
Down where the broad Zambesi river
Gfdes away into some shadowy lagoon,
Lies the antelope, and hears the leaflets culver.
Shaken by the sultry breath OF noon;
Sees the water ripple In its flowing,
Feels the atmosphere with fragrance all OPP
presst,
Dreams his dreams but the sweetest is the know,
ing
That above him and around him there is rest
Centuries have faded into shadow;
Earth is fertile with the dust of mans decay;
Pilgrims all men were TO some bright FL Dorado,
But they wearied and they tainted by the way.
Some were sick with the surfeiture of pleasure;
Some were bowed beneath a care encountered
breast
But in turn they all trod life's stately measure,
And all paused betimes to wonder: is there
restY"
Look, o man to that limtless hereafter,
When thy anguish shall be lifted from its dust;
When thy weeping shall be melted into laughter
And thy love shall be severed from its lust;
When thy soul shall be sanctfed with seeing
The ultimate dim Thule of the BEST
And the passion haunted fever Of thy being
Shall be drirted in q universe of rest!
