THE FAD OF THE HOUR.

Artistic fancy-work is undoubtedly fad
of the hour among the fair feminine one

We are wont to look too frequently to
the gaudy gold creations of the Japanese
for our small art screens when there is q
charming novelty of another type and
cutie as effective in reach of any clever
copyist. A small child's clothes-horse is
the raw material required. This is painted
white, or enamelled, to speak more ele-
eantly as well as deceptively, and finished
with touches of gold, while in the
upper spaces between the top and
first round are inserted panels of
artists brown linen. painted in some
bold design of flowers. Beneath this
there hangs TO the floor soft curtain
of silk, which completes a screen as de-
liphtful as ere furnishing art designed.
There Is a strong and growing tendency
towards 0rientalism in interior decora-
ton. The swinging iewelled lamps are full
of mystical eastern suggestiveness-the
divans, the scattered rugs of fanny tigers
skins, and the miniature mountains Of
luxuriance IN the soft heaps of cushions
amid which we sink smack much of the
dangerous taste Of "Ethiope's Qdeen."

'KKRcHIEFs FOR ousHros-coyERs.

The latest variation in the study of
cushions is to cover their downy softness
with genuine bandsnna 'kerchiefs, the edge
being ruhied by a liberal ruffiing of the

cheapness about the cotton idea that
might perchance preclude the desirability
of the novelty, but undertake the guest of
a bandanna cushion at bon-ton
art-store and the connoissaE or clerk,
either you like, loses no time in
undeceiving you as TO the idea of
cheapness or convincing you that no divan
in any stting-room has look of warmth
and cosiness unless supplied by the scar

WAR IN HAITI.
Attempted Revolution in Fort au
Prince Fails.

Attempted Revolution in Fort au
Prince Fails.
New YoRK, June 2.-Haiti has had
another revolution. This time the old
followers of the exiled president, Gen.
Legitimc, arose in their might and at
tempted to control the capital of the
Black Republic with a high hand. They
paid the penalty with their lives. A
cablegram from Paris ON Saturday gave
this information:
"a cable message has been received at
the Haitian legation here announcing
that a revolution has broken out at Port
au Prince. The dispatch adds that
state of siege has been proclaimed at
Port au Prince. A French ironclad has
been sent to the scene of the disturbance"
Hannibal Price, the Haitian minister
to the United States, confirmed the news
in this message, when seen yesterday at
his office in the old Cotton Exchange
building.
II have just received this dispatch"
he said, showing a telegram which was
dated Port au Prince, May 30 and Wash
ington, May 80. The message was in
French and said:
"Attempt at revolution, May %, at
Port au Prince failed. Rebels executed.
Public order not disturbed. Department
of the west has been placed under mar
tial law"
"rhat is all we have heard" said the
minister. 81 take it for granted that an
armed mob who still had some feeling
for Gen. Legitime, who was banished,
made an attack on the capital and per-
haps on the life of Gen. Hippolyte and
were repulsed. They were afterward
captured and publicly executed.
"This outbreak is great surprise to
me. Gen. IIippolyte has shown himself
to be too good man to fight against
just now. He has too many admirers
and any further attempt at interfering
with his administration will be met with
the proper remedy. But think this
execution has done away with the hand
full of the dissatisfied element and there
is not likely to be any further trouble"

A CLERGYMAN JAILED.
Rev. Conrad Young Took Sohultz's
Money to Invest for Him.

Rev. Conrad Young Took Sohultz's
Money to Invest for Him.
New York, June 2.-The Rev. Con-
rad Young, pastor of the German Pill
grim Baptist church, on Lincoln street,
Jersey City Heights, is an inmate of the
Hudson County Jail, having been COM
mitted there by Justice Aldridge, in de-
fault of $4,000 bail, on charge of swim
ding or embezzlement.
Among the chief admirers of the pas
tor was William Schultz, hard work
ing German residing at 81 Cliff street,
who through his industry had managed
to horde together the sum of ST i,50O,
which fact he made known to his pastor,
and the latter at once advised him to
have the money profitably invested.
Recently Mr.. Schultz became pos
sessed of the idea that he would like to
know where his money was invested and
what interest was accruing, and accord
ingly requested from Pastor Young that
information.
About this time the pastors family
disappeared from their late residence,
and short time after their departure
he announced his intention to give up
his charge and rendered his resignation.
Mr.. Schultz made formal demand
upon the clergyman for the return of
the money, but it came not, and then
from the inquiries made he became sat
isfied that the money had not been in
vested at all, but that the clergyman
had appropriated it to his own use, as
stated IN his affidavit, upon which was
issued the warrant for the pastors ar
rest.
Pastor Young being unable to furnish
bail in the sum Of s., 500 was committed
to the county Jail to await the action of
the grand jury.

Arsenic Found in j. Norris Young's
Body at West Chester. Pa.
WEST CHESTER, Pa, June 2.-The
body Of J. Norris Young, the young
miller Of Marshallton, who died May s,
about whose sudden death there have
been rumors of foul play, was exhumed
by Coroner McFadgen yesterday in the
presence of DIR. Formal, of Philadel-
phia, DIR. Mercer, Of Germantown, and
DR.. Dunn, of Wott Chester. A hasty
examination showed that the body con-
tained large quantity of arsenic. A
partial examination of the stomach was
made, after which the organs were
turned over by the coroner to DIR. For
mad, who will make microscopical ex-
animation and report the result to the
coroner and district attorney. i
Young was said to have died from
cholera morbus, but the purchase of rat
poison by member Of the family few
days before aroused suspicion. Papers
were also found upon the person Of
David M. Link, q New York piano
agent, who stayed with the family,
which, it is claimed, bear an important
part in the testimony. Link subse-
QueHtly became insane, ana MS remark
when taken to Bellevue hospital, Now
York, People accuse me of killing
him." as sufficient ground to prompt
the authorities to exhume the body.
Mrs. Young, the wife of the dead man,
denies the rumor afloat associating her
with her husbands death. Mrs. Young
is 81 years old and comely. She denies
that there was any trouble between her
and her husband.
Before the coroner had Young's body
exhumed a dozen prominent citizens
stood over the grave to prevent any one
from stealing the body.
