alton from the Ninth Ward. Instead of
that they went to my enemies and found
out the men appointed from my ward
and discharged them. really wish that
Major Bonsall would let the matter lay
over for a week."
Major Bonsall-"We want to get a
police force that will be a credit to the
city, and if we appoint new Commits
sion, as l suggest, we can do so. 1t will
do away with paying political debts, and
the Commissioner should be free and
unpledged."
Mr.. Wirsching-"This is the first time
ia my life that have known people to go
to ones enemies to find out about his
friends, but l don't know what to say in
this matter. The Ninth Ward has no
representation on the force, and if | vote
for this and it don't carry, it won't get
any, neither will it if | vote for one man.
| would sooner the matter would lay over
for week"
Mr.. Frankenfeld-"Ma Bonsall says
we should appoint some OF the foremost
men in the city. / know some OF those
men that are on the Commission now,
and some of them are among the first
men of the city. don't see how we will
get better, and if we adopt this resolu-
ton it will be casting slur on them. 1t
strikes me that we ought to give the men
a chance. l move that the resolution be
laid on the table,"
Major Bonsall-"Admitted that these
men are among the first men OF the city
admitted that they are four angels; the
police differences arose with them, and
some other set of men should be selected
to place the department in proper CON
dition."
The motion to lay on the table was car
ried by vote of 7 to 2, Messrs. Bonsal
and Wirsching alone voting against.
Major Bonsall then said that he sup
posed it would be in order to nominate
some one to fill the vacancy created by
the resignation of Mr.. Bilderrain, and he
| desired TO place in nomination the name
OF another Spanish-American, agains
| whom nothing could be said. He nance
Mr.. j. G. Estudillo.
Mr.. Hamilton moved that the matter
be laid over for week. He desired tt
think over the situation before he de
cided, and it was not certain that Mr.
Estudillo would serve.
Mr.. Wirsching was in favor OF pro
ceeding at once. He said that the maj
should be nominated without asking
him, and then, if he declined, another
man could be nominated.
Mr.. McLain objected to this insult be
ing put upon the Spanish-Americans.
Mr.. Wirsching said that it was not ar
insult. 1t was intended as a compli
ment. Mr.. Estudillo was perfect gen
tleman and we'll fitted for the position.
Mr.. Hamilton said he did not desire tc
vote at once on the matter. He desired
time to think over the situation.
The motion to postpone was carried by
vote of 6 to 3.
The communications and petitions
were then referred to the appropriate
committees and the Council adjourned

BRAVO ATlANTAl
The Cruiser 8 Seaworthy Craft.

The missing Atlanta was anchored between the Yorktown and the Chicago at Newport. She was surrounded by small boats filled with naval officers and anxious friends. The ther, the white paint being dirty, and the in- dentations made by her chain plates were very prominent. Her decks were fairly water-sOaked, but it was seen at a glance that every spar was intact. Captain Howell stated that there was no cause for alarm, as he was out of danger, and, while the sea was heavy. not the slightest apprehension was felt by him or his officers during their long trip. The ship, he said, behaved splendidly, and her ., engines performed their body.
 A lee was found under Long Island, and the vessel was kept running up and down the coast. Wednesday night, the 11th, found the Atlanta lying to under maintopsail, and on the same afternoon COXswain John Saunders died of heart disease and on the following evening he was buried at sea. An attempt was made on Thursday morning to make land, but without success, owing to the haze and storm: During the day, however, Shinne- were brought to view, and Capt. Howell got his bearings.
 The run from Block Island, distance of about thirty miles, was made in about two hours. The vessel shipped considerable water, but it rolled off as quickly as it came,
  were quite comfortable, and smoked and chatted during the height of the gale, little realizing how anxious everybody was. In whatever position she was placed she was easy. Her engines were often stopped, once for several hours, to repair slight mishap. She did not roll, and the heavy sees were not successful in wrenching her ill the least. The officers from the captain down are delighted with the Atlanta's record in storm which will never be forgotten. Capt. IVY Ep port to the department of the Atlanta's eventful trip. The members of the board appointed to witness the trials of the cruisers are happy, and all because the Atlanta has proved her seawOrthiness in most marked manner and under circumstances calculated to show what may be expected of the new cruisers. The test is considered as good a one as could be made, and it will show that the vessels of the new type are frst-class in every particular.

Sham Antiauities in Paris.

There is great passion nowadays for antique articles, and it has given birth to 8 world of sham antiquities. An army of handicraftsmen are busi- ly engaged in the manufacture of these wares, which are palmed off on con- fiding people as being 200 or 300 years old, and date from any desired land mark ill history.
 Old chairs, old tables, old silver, old jewelry, and old everything, even if made last week, have great value in the eyes of many persons satisfied with antiquity in appearance. Worm-eaten furniture is now one of the rages. This stuff is easily produced with the aid of bird-shot, which is fired into it. Old houses, torn down, furnish worm-eaten timber, which is turned to good account in fabricating old sets of furniture.
 Old door-keys, medieval bellows, gilt flambeaux in Louis XIV. style, warming pans and brass lenders of the fourteenth century, candelabra, and even old snutfers find purchasers as fast as these antique wares can be made by skillful artisans in out of the way places of the gay capital. Old coins and regency clocks are cast by the ton every day in Paris, but they are very scarce, and bring fabulous prices. Weekly.

Gossip About Women.

The women of Servia of all ranks take an eager part in an organized movement for raising a national sub- scription to present to Queen Nathalie, the divorced and banished mother of Servia's boy king, massive gold crown studded with diamonds.
 When J. Wells Champney painted the portrait of Maria Mitchell some years ago, she insisted on literal tidcl- ity to her appearance. "You cannot make beauty of me-" she said. This recalls Oliver Cromwell's umcomprom- ising words to his portrait painter: "Paint me as I am. If you leave out the scars and wrinkles, will not pay you penny!'
 Miss Kate Corey, M. D., a graduate of the University of Michigan, has re- gently been admitted to honorary membership in the Indiana Medical So- ciety, the first time, we believe, this recognition has been extended to a woman. Doctor Corey has been for four years the principal surgeon ill charge of a hospital at Foochow, Chi na, and has, it was stated in the con- vention, performed almost every sur- gical operation known.
 Mile. Marin Pierre, who has just taken the degree of M. D. in Paris, was very brilliant student, accom- plishing in four years what most men take six, eight, and sometimes ten years to go through. She is said to be popular with the hospital patients be- cause of her care and gentleness, and she is also noted for her kindness to animals. She will be a very strong recruit to the anti-vivisection party.
 The Princess of Wales set an exam pie to women during her visit to the Paris Exposition. According to that well-informed correspondent, Mrs. Emily Crawford, she was only seen about in public in one gown, a dark blue foulard with white sprays, and the bonnet of black lace, trimmed with lily-of-the-valley. Her daughters, who were with her, were dressed alike, and very simply.
 Miss Ticknor, the secretary of The Society to Encourage Study at Home, reported at the sixteenth annual meet ing, just held, that five hundred and nine women are pursuing various courses of study. The lending library of the society, a most useful feature of the work, has circulated two thou sand two hundred and sixty-eight volumes during the year, representing books with one thousand two hundred and seventy-two titles.

Alaska, the Land of the Totem.

The coast of Alaska is made pictur- resque by immense columns of wood rising sixty or seventy feet into the air, carved with grotesque figures and painted in all the brilliant colors known to savage art. Many of these columns are rendered conspicuous by being surmounted with ravens, cranes and bears, which stretch their, wooden wings, or sit upon their stiff haunches in silhouette distinctncss against the sky. Each of these columns stands in front of an Indian lodge. Each has its own story to tell-a story which, when interpreted, is full of romance, of tragedy, and of superstition.
 Position among the Alaska Indians is secm ed mainly by all the arts of persuasion, bargain, intrigue, wealth, display, and personal prowess. The unit of wealth is Hudson Bay Com pany's blanket of the quality of two and on half points, and a copper shield is worth about 200 blankets. Many of the chiefs are quite wealthy. Each family has its totem, representing the animal from which it has descended. Each individual belongs to one of these totems, and may marry only into cer- tain other totems. A child takes the totem of its mother. A mans nephew his sisters son-is his heir, and chiefs son can only succeed to his fa- ther's title and wealth by being adopt ed by the chiefs sister. Descent is practically in the female line, and the women have the greatest influence in the tribe. They conduct the bargains, and their word is law.

cavalry, at the close of war bought up all the old cavalry horses lest they be turned out to drudgery and hard work, and bought piece of ground at Naversmire Heath and turned these old war horses into the thickest and richest pasture to spend the rest of their days for what they had done in other days. One day thunder storm came up, and these war horses mistook the thunder of the skies for the thunder of battle, and they wheeled into line-no riders on their backs II they wheeled into line ready for the fray. And I doubt me whether, when the last thunder of this battle for God and truth goes boom ing through the heavens, the old scriptural warriors can keep their places on their thrones. Methnks they will spring into the fight and exchange crown for helmet, and palm branch for weapon, and come down out of the kings galleries into the arena, crying: ''Make room! I must fight in this great Armaged- don.
 My beloved people, preach this sermon because l want you to toll with the sunlight in your faces. 1 want you old men to under stand before you die that all the work you did for God while yet your ear was alert and your foot fleet is going to be counted up in people to understand that when they toll for God they always win the day; that all pray CTS are answered and all Christian work is ill some way etfectual, and that the tide is set ting in the right direction, and that all heaven is on our side-saintly, cherubic, seraphic, archangelc, omnipotent, chariot and throne, doXology and procession, principalities and dominion, he who hath the moon under his feet, and all the armies of heaven on white horses.
 Brother! brother! all am afraid of is, not that Christ will lose the battle, but that you and will not get into it quick enough to do something worthy of our blood bought immortality. Oh. Christ! how shall I meet thee, though of the scared brow and the scared back and the scared hand and the scared foot and the scared breast, if l have no scars or wounds gotten in thy ser vice? It shall not be SO. l step out to-day in front of the battle. Come on, you foes of God, I dare ycu to the combat. Come on, with pens dipped in malignancy. Come on, with tongues forked and viperine and aderous. Come on, with types soaked in the scum of the eternal pit. l defy you! Come on! 1 bare my brow, 1 uncover my heart. Strike 1! l cannot see my Lord until 1 have been hurt for Christ. If we do not suffer with him on earth we cannot glorify with him in heaven. Take good heart. On! On! On! See 1! the skies have brightened! See! the hour is about to come! Pick out all the cheeriest of the anthems. Let the orchestra string their best instruments. ''The night is far spent, the day is at hand."

Women as rule are not fond of jokes; they listen to clever stories with simulated amusement and forget them immediately. The reason for this lies in one of the essentials in the makeup of women-her profound and tender sympathy. Humor deals with the weakness of humanity; it exposes foibles and punctures tender skin. Humor sets the world laughing at some blunder of man. It is woman nature to cover up. excuse and reform. Follies are too serious in her eyes to laugh at. If women were humorists they would not be the most earnest church workers, the most tender of nurses, and the most sentimental and refined portion of humanity. The same inherent quality which would make a true woman, a real woman, shrink as judge from pronouncing death sentence, or as soldier from shooting an enemy ill the heart, makes it inn possible for her to become humorist. Wit a woman may have, wit she does possess, and is formidable adversary with her stiletto points of irony and satire. But humorous in the common acceptation of the term, in the care less, rollicking, stinging art of current quips and jests-never.

Fashion Notes.

Fur bands and much braiding will be the distinguishing characteristics of next seasons gowns.
 Shoulder capes will have the prefer ence of all other out-of-door wraps for the intermediate season.
 The Ursuline cloak, garment simi- lar to those worn by nuns, is among the novelties in long wraps.
 Embroidered net is somewhat taking the place of the coarse meshed net so much worn early in the season.
 The silk hat is to man what bon net is to woman-the distinguishing feature of the Sunday best toilet.
 Handkerchiefs of silk have wide lowered border which is very pretty and gay. Whole foulard handker- chiefs are also la mode.
 Grape de Chine, which has been in high favor for summer toilets, will continue to be used for ball dresses.
 French bathing suits are all trousers and very little waist, quite different in style from those used in America.
 All sorts of garlands of gay flowers will be used on the autumn hats, which will be of large size and suitable to this mode.
 The neckties worn by ladies with their shirt waists have been identical with those worn by men, and now that the silk waists have returned with cooler weather the tie to match accom- panies it.
 Very pretty and convenient are the vest fronts of various tints, which one finds so prettily made up in the better shops. Be they of crepe de Chine or surah it matters little, for both are very pretty and soft. They are in the Directoire style and have finely

and we'll bred women to act as guides Tor strangers in those capitals, espe- cially for shopping, sight seeing and little excursions. The working of the system will be best exemplitied by stating that the association has taken temporary rooms at No. 121 Pail Mall, and that by sending telegram to this address from any country in the world you can be absolutely certain when you reach the English capital that you will find your apartments ready, some one waiting for you, carefully attend ant upon your slightest wish and brim- full of information upon any and all subjects about which you might require to be enlightened.

plaited frill down the front with high collar fastening behind. A double cord holds the whole ill place and is easily adjusted.
 Patent leather continues to adorn all sorts and conditions of shoes for fall as well as for summer wear, although at one time it promised to disappear completely from view. The colored feather has gone for the season.
 Light cloth jackets for fall wear are still made by fashionable English tail ors. They are double breasted and have huge pearl buttons as fastening. These should not be very snug in fit to be stylish, as the cloth is too stiff to admit of most exact fit.
 Many pretsy models in Scotch and English Cheviots are seen which make most charmingly warm and comforta- ble jackets for rough wear. Little officer caps to match accompany these for travelling or for bad weather, and for young girls they are very charming.
 Handkerchiefs and small wares are charming this season. They are gay and bright with color and are in charming design. A pretty fancy is the handkerchief of fine batiste, on which are sprinkled roses, violets or forget-me-nots. The border is em- broidered in the tint of the flowers.
 The fall of lace about the face of some very pretty fall hats renders them picturesque and becoming, and will no doubt prove popular fashion both for younger as we'll as for older ladies. While it makes a young face look piquant it softens and adds and appro- priate framing to an older person.
 The rain cloak for fall wear is no longer the ulster, but an awkward model after the Irish peasant cloak. It is soft, thick wollen cloth of rough quality in mouse color or in tan brown. This is for children as we'll as for ladies, and in France, where it has become popular, it is caught into the back with plaits, making it less awkward and more convenient.

Mixed Grammar.

At village school not many miles from Canterbury a precocious boy, be- ing asked to parse the sentence, ssMary, milk the cow," went on accurately till he came to the last word, when he said, "Cow is pronoun, feminine gender, third person, singular, and stands for Mary" "Stands for Mary?" asks the master in astonishment. "Yes, sir" responded the urchin with grin, "for if the COW didn't stand for Mary, how could Mary milk the cow?o
