Evening Toilets.

Many evening gowns now consist
only of one front breadth of consid-
cradle width, stretching far back I'M
der the arm, and of a train. These
wide front breadths are generally
made either of contrasting material
satin with brocade, or brocade with
velvet, or of fine piece of embroid-
cry. Some in fine lisse, the ground
either cream or light tender green,
pink or maize, are worked in soft silk
either with palms or interlacing de-
signs, which are closer and heavier at
the foot, and more scattered towards
the waist They are sold in lengths
of four and an eighth yards, which
can be, and frequently are, divided,
the half being enough. A beautiful
design is composed mainly of empire
wreaths, graduating upwards, the
edge at the foot cut out in scalloES
and buttonholed.
Crepe de Chine is favorite mate
rial for similar treatment, save that
the patterns are all different, all elab-
crate, and well covering. A striped
llsse, sold by the yard, and useful for
the same purpose, has a b AIDED
floral design between the stripes and
lisse is combined in weaving with
fancy grenadine, and has horizontal
lines.

morning dresses.
Many of the new fichus are chris
tenedwith old names, some being
patriotically cally after Martha Wash
ington and Dolly Madison; others are
called Marie Antoinette, while others,
copied from old pictures, are classed
as Joshua Reynolds fichus.
The buttons intended to be worn
on directoire bodices and coats are
large, the centers painted on ivory,
and bordered with pearl and paste
rims. They are copied from old
models, but cannot equal them, for
the paste of those days was crystal.
There is beautiful style of cotton
goods called the dorothy zephyr.

woven damask-like of green and white
on a green ground, also in pale blue
and pink on pink ground. Some

insertions of brilliant jet let in near
the ends, some being horizontal, and
others tapering perpendicularly, Two
rows are placed horizontally, with the
band of sash ribbon between, and
sometimes a delicate fringe at the
edge. There are charming washing
sashes for children's frocks to be had
now, striped, in several colors, deeply
fringed, and measuring about two and
one-half yards long.

BY CECIL HAMPDEN QUITS HOWARD.

BY CECIL HAMPDEN QUITS HOWARD.
{ 'Her Majesty Tower" is the title
of new volume by W. Hepworth
Dixon, published by T. Y. CrowelI &
Co. of New York.
"The Open Door," by Blanche
Willis Howard, promises already to
achieve a greater success than any of
her earlier works of fiction.
Oliver Bell Bunce, who has pub
lished many good things, has recently
gotten out a volume entitled "The
Story of Happinolande, and Other
Legends" We regret to say that he
is not seen at his best in this the
most recent effort of his pen.
"Indoor Studies" by John Bur-
roughs, is the latest addition to his
published works. He who has writ
ten SO much upon outdoor life, now
entertains us with sketches and essays
upon men and the works of the more
recent literary men.
"Six Studies of Arts and Artists, >"
by Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer,, is
valuable volume for all classes of
readers. The papers are upon Luca
Della Robbia, Correggio, William
Blake, Corot, George Fuller and
Winslow Homer.
-Four of Mr., Howelrs farces have
been recently brought out together in
a volume, entitled "The Sleeping
Car, and Other Farces." Those who
have read these, as they have ap-
peared in magazine form, will know
that they will bear re-reading, and
those who have not read them, should
know that there is a rich fund of
amusement in store for them.
Rev. Arthur Wentworth Eaton has
recently published, through White,
Stokes & Allen, q volume of original
poems, entitled "Acadian Songs"
Those who have read "1he Heart of
the Creeds," by the same author,
will find the same charming English,
and even greater depth of thought
and feeling.
There are numbers of people who
will be glad to read the Atlantic
Monthly for June, containing, as it
does, so large a number of valuable
poems and sketches. The continual
ton of "The Begun Daughter" de-
yelops new points of interest, and a
poem by Edith M. Thomas, entitled
"a World of Roses" is unusually
good.
The last novel of F. Marion Craw-
ford, entitled "Griefenstein," of
which we have spoken before, has
been likened recently to the excel
lence of Hawthorne's styles. This is
good news indeed, if we are to have
a second Hawthorne, for it is to be
regretted that Hawthorne in his son
Julian has not at all an equal success
sor, nor does he give any promise of
reaching his fathers abilities.
Addie-Well, Goa, do you think

Base Ball Yesterday.

The Little Jokers and the Mackeys
played that long sought-for game yes
terday afternoon at o'clock, on OPP
permann's grounds.
The JOkers doubled the Mackey s.
score. which, although somewhat one
sided, was very interesting game.
Pitcher Whit Spear, of the Mackeys,
was batted numerically all over the
field, while Crevostein, of the Jokers,
was hit lightly. The two and three
baggers made by the Jokers are too
numerous to mention. Hayes, captain
of the Jokers, made three three-bag-
gers, Womble scored five runs, and
Kotulla made the longest hit of the
day.
At the game the Jokers wore their
new uniforms, the color of which is
orange, the belts and stockings dark
red, and on the bosom of the shirt
will be-which are not yet completed
the letters Little Jokers," the
name which has been derived from
Geo. Barth0lomaei's Little Joker to-
bacco.

Daring Bank Robbery.

WATERTowN, N. Y, March H.
One of the boldest bank robberies
that has occurred for many years,
surprised the people of Norwood, st.
Lawrence county, Saturday. F. l..
Smith, cashier of the Norwood bank,
was alone in the building about noon,
when Charles Phelps, postoffice clerk
entered and asked for stamps. Smith
stepped into the vault to get them
when Phelps quickly closed the door
and turned the combination, locking
the cashier in. The robber then took
all the paper money from drawers, 27S
dollars, leaving several hundred
dollars in silver. Phelps started on
horseback at once for the Canadian
border, Is miles distant but he took
the train at Bras hers Falls. On
arriving at Norwood he was delivered
to the officers. Only about eleven
dollars of stolen money was found on
him.

STIRRING UP THE CABINET.

Every reliable report from the
naval department and from the Paci-
fic slope contractors for naval vessels
tends TO discredit the sensational re-
port received from Samoa. Whether
those reports emanated from demo-
cratic sources for the purpose of stir
ring up the new state and naval Sec
retaries and testing their metal,
whether they were invented by
Blaine's enemies to hurry him into
an act of jingoism, or were set on
foot by German parties to test the
feeling in America it matters not.
The result in any case Is satisfactory.
If started by Americans to see what
would be the result in the new cabi-
net, they demonstrate that no fool
rush Into foreign matters will be
made until the administration knows
whereof and wherefore iG moves. If
arising from German sources, the
press expressions Of the country may
be accepted as pretty convincingly
showing that this American people
will be in no case backward to resent
an insult to the stars and stripes nor
unwilling to defend her stations at
sea from assault no matter by whom
made. If the intention has been to
see how far German citizens of this
country will side with their father
land as against their adopted
country, the an swer is equally satfs-
factory. While there is not a shadow
of authority so far discernible for the,
sen sational reports which have stirred
this country from center to circum-
ferance, there is no reason to deplore.
the situation. War, always last
resort of civilized nations, is some
times inevitable, and for it's vigorous
prosecution preparation is needed.
Uncle Sam needs no standing army,
and no hostile land forces can ever
endanger the security of our people,
but our naval resources are alto
gether inadequate to enable us to
cope with foreign powers on the high
seas. The lesson of this Samoan rup-
ture is very plainly written in the
consciousness of our inferior position
as naval power. 1t will not be in
vain that this ripple has come upon
the surface of our peaceful
relations with foreign powers, if
it teach and inspire us to
make dilligent use of every hour in
fitting out navy that will be a credit
to the first commercial power of the
world. The retiring secretary of the
navy, by far the most efficient of the
late cabinet officers has done all that
could be done with the means at his
disposal during the past four years to
create navy. This work must now
be pushed to it's utmost capacity and
the work of naval preparation should
be heard on every seaboard. This
long felt and universally complained
of want, the want of an efficient navy,
has been brought home to the national
understanding and it is now high
time for the indignant expostulation
of the people on account of our lack
in this matter to be needed in the
high places of government. Uncle
Sam has only about 2,4OO miles of
ocean to cross to reach the Samoan
islands, Germany has at least four
times that distance. With navy
equal to hers advantage in case of war
is decidedly with us.

Cinnamon charged with inveigling
little girls into their laundries for i'm
moral purposes. They were disappoint-
ed as the officers anticipated another
demonstration and took the prisoners
TO the court room at a very early
hour. The court is very noisy, but no
unlawful demonstration has been
made. About fifty officers are now en-
gagged scattering them. No serious
trouble is anticipated. The examina-
ton of the prisoners is now in pro-
gress.

A Great Strike of Eastern Weavers.

A Great Strike of Eastern WeaYers.
FALL RIVE, Mass, March IL
The weavers' strike for an advance in
wages which occurred this morning,
is the most general in the history of
labor troubles here. The weaving
departments of fifty mills are practi-
cally shut down and six thousand
weavers are idle. Those who refused
to strike do not number more than
half enough to keep one mill going.
The extent of the strike was
quite a surprise to the mana
gers where it was expected that
only a few mills would be in
volved. They thought opinion was
so divided as to the wisdom of the
strike at present, that this circum-
stance would disorganize the move
ment in few days. The operatives
are very much pleased at the unani-
nous settlement of the resistance
displayed, and predict an easy victo-
ry. They claim they can afford
to maintain the strike for several
weeks. 1t is the impression that
the manufacturers can give an
advance at the present prices for
cloth and can ill afford to curtail the
production for very short per cen t.
The Board of Trade says, however,
no advance will be given, and a bitter
struggle is anticipated.
