Dryenforth Will Save New York from Water
Famine.

New YORK, Nov. 16.-One of the most
original and at the same time valuable, if
itis found to be practicable, ideas ever put
forth by newspaper in this city will be
tested this week by the New York World.
The danger of water famine in this city
from lack of rain has been exploited for the
past two weeks, and in the emergency it
occurred to Ballard Smith, managing edi-
tor, to invite Dyrenforth, the government
rain-maker, to come ON from Washington
with his balloons and explosives and create
showers along the Croton acqueduct and in
the vicinity of Croton lake. Mr.. Smith re-
ceived Geographic acceptance of the propo-
sition from General Dryenferth, who
promises to leave Washington to- day and
make his experiments Tuesday and Wednes-
day.

 The new store in Meigs' block has been nicely fitted and furnished, making it the most elegant Fine Tailoring parlors in New England, and will be used exclusive V as Custom Department.
 The front store has been extensively i'm proved and will be occupied as a Mems Furnishing Department, making two dis tinct departments and making each de- partment attractive and roomy.
 The Mems Furnishing department is now oyerflowing with all the novelties of the season. The goods are Fresh, New, De- sirable and Cheap, and as an especial in ducement for those who desire Fancy Shirt for spring I am offering Cluett & Coon's Grown Monarch Shirts which have always been sold for $1.50 at 95cents.
 The Custom Department as usual is stocked with more extensive and elaborate line than any tailoring establishment in Conn, consisting of all the latest and most desirable Suitings, Overcoatings and Trouserings the market affords, (My trous erings are unusually fne) and no effort will be spared to please. The garments will be turned out in the most approved style, and made by the most skilled work men.

Or shall you have shirt front, diclzy and vest a la man and cutaway jacket?
 Shall you have a pancake hat as big as a platter or little bit of a poke that upon investigation proves to be only a wreath of flowers with & couple of vel vet strings fastened to the back of it? If you are a wise woman you will choose the latter, for you will bear in mind that the former independent az gressive style of headgear is admired by men as being chic, smart and nifty mot to say ''fy''-but the latter is loved by them as something altogether approachable, womanly and sweet, and the only thing that woman ever ought to wear upon her head, anyway.
 And then about your parasol. Is it to be for show or for use, for shade or for sin? Is it to be plain or fussy? Is it to be diaphanous or solid, substantial or chosen for it's wearing qualities?
 The fashions are really so varied that you cannot well go wrong in your choice of dress if you bear always in mind three or four things. First, you must be flat in the back-not sign of hustle or crinoline; you must have a shopping bag dangling at your side; you must have a skirt that drags, and you must be all alike in tint. Your whole costume must correspond in some way.
 Suppose you have n dress of one of those lovely soft new spring blues, striped in white. You must, with this, wear pair of white gloves, stitched in blue and on your head must be a little wreath of flowers with blue velvet strings or, should you choose to be natty. pancake sailor hat. If you have chosen brown India silk with lovely pink and white thistles upon it. remember that you must wear tan gloves, shaded almost into brown, and that pink bonnet with brown velvet loops upon it, or brown tips standing upright upon some aggressive point in the hat. will be stylish and becoming.

KEYSTONE BANK AFFAIRS.
CSmptroller Lacey's Report to secretar, zass4 E0aNar

Cosnptroller Lacey's Report to secretarS Foster.
 WASHINGTON, June 12. - Comptroller Lacey has completed his statement of the connection of his office with the clos ing of the Keystone National Bank of Philadelphia, and handed it to Secretary Foster for his information.
 The statement is very elaborate and contains all the correspondence that has passed between Comptroller Lacey and Examiner Drew.
 MT. Lacey takes the ground that the office of the Comptroller of the Currency can only be investigated by Congress or by United States officials, and that it would be manifestly improper that it's business should be subject to inspection by any municipality that desired to in vestigate it. He cites as as precedent the refusal of Superintendent Porter, who refused to turn over certain census returns at the request of the New York authorities, which refusal was based on the opinion of the Attorney-Gener that United States Government officials should not obey the requests of municipal au- thorities.
 Comptroller Lacy will, in all proba- bility, act on this opinion and refuse to appear before the Philadelphia Council, though his statement may be forwarded to it by Secretary Foster for it's 'informa. tion.O

HUNGARY is the place for a bank pres ident. The directors of a Hungarian bank discovered one day that their able and skillful president had defrauded the institution of 15,O00 fiorins. They liked him, and hated to lose his business ca pacity, and thought a publication of the fact would hurt their bank. So they raised his salary 1000 florins annually and made this known. But secretly they conditioned that the advance was to be used to pay up the missing sum.

store you go, whether it be on Eighth avenue or upon Broadway, very near the door, upon long counter you will find box after box of these Stanley sashes. They are made of surah, and are, when hooked around the waist, about half a yard long-that is the ends hang down half a yard at the side, for the Stanley sash is always hooked straight without loop or tie. It is made of the full width of surah and is so fashioned over crinoline that it forms girdle at front and back, and is narrow on either hip. The ends are fringed. As it has been said, these are worn in every style and variety of make and material
 An odd example of this was seen a few days ago at a fashionable Sixth av- enue dressmalzer's. Upon the dummy, or ''Maria," in one corner of the fitting room, awaiting the customer who was coming to try it on, was beautiful suit of very light gray lady's cloth The waist was a round one, and the skirt as scanty as the size for whom it was made would permit, and there, upon this really elegant dress, uniting the waist and skirt, was a navy blue Stan- ley sash, hooked at the side and falling down straight and plain to the length of about half a yard, just as thousands of other sashes hang every day upon plainer suits.
 Those who do not wear the Stanley sash wear the Victor belt, which is just the same as the Stanley, except that it is girdle shaped only in front, being narrow in the back and having no dang ling ends.
 It is truly, with all these belt demark- ations and waist discriminators, year for slender women and stout people who cannot call attention to their waists by tying sashes around them, would do well to undergo some course of treatment for the reduction of super fluous avoirdupois, for indications point to the fact that sashes and belts and girdles will be more popular than ever all next fall and winter.

THE republican leaders are badly frightened at the prospect of having the knights of labor solidly opposed to the republican ticket in Ohio this year. It is said that the knights of labor through it's executive board, which is making a fight for the removal of Captain Mere dith, chief of the bureau of engraving and printing, has given Mir Harrison it's ultimatum, and it is, that Meredith must be removed or every knight of labor in the state of Ohio will vote against the republicans at the coming gubernatorial election. Secretary Eos ter, who is an adept in the art of bam- boozling, is relied upon by Mir Harrison to help him out of the scrape in some way, but he will find it very difficult.

He Blows Up a shonty With Dynamite
 Becanse He Had a Grievance.
 AVON, Mass, June 21.-A fire alarm at ten o'clock led to the discovery of the blowing up by dynamite of shanty that has been occupied by the Italians who have been at work on the water system and used as 8 storage place for tools owned by the town.
 While the excitement attending the fire was at it's height a sensational feature was added by 8 public declaration by Deacon M. M. Porter, a we'll known citi- zen, that he had purposely blown the building up. He was immediately ar rested.
 Deacon Porter has for some time har- bored grudge against the town owing to the unsatisfactory award made him when his property was taken for the water works extension, and he has also complained that the Italians were unde- sirable neighbors. Sympathy is expressed for him, the general belief being that he is mentally unbalanced. He is deacon in the Baptist Church.

the present style. On all street dresses, whether they arc light. dark or medium. a little train of from two to eight and even ten and twelve inches is seen. Of course, these trains become terribly soiled from constantly sweeping the streets, and of course, they are worn to rags in a few weeks time. But fash ion requires that they shall be worn thus and it is of no mortal or vomanly use to kick against the taste of the dame when that lady has put down her foot in as emphatic a manner as she has upon this occasion. All the women must wear trains-and that settles it.
 Some very good facings are found in the stores for the protection of the dress skirts. There is a waterproof lining and then a rubber linlng, and thirdly, a ruffling. All three are intended to be worn at the same time upon the under edge of the same skirt. This, in a meas ure, protects the fabric, so that instead of being wholly vile at first wearing the dress is only partly soiled, and it Is reserved for two or three weeks of street sweep to make the dress as nasty as it would otherwise have been on the first trip down town.
 Anent sense in dress some one says that she saw pair of hoops displayed outside of a Broadway store yesterday, and that an hour or two later, before she had recovered from the shock of seeing hoop skirt again, she saw a woman wearing one. It was a fully fedged hoop skirt with hoops all the way round, and a great big hoop at the bottom. Later the same woman saw a dress ready made for sale in one of the shops that had a great reed run around the bottom of the skirt to hold it out in grand balloon fashion. The shock of the discovery and the fear that another season might compel her to go swing ing around in one of these hoop skirt structures so affected the woman that it drove her home with a nervous head ache. Upon relating her experience to friend she was told that the discovery was not Q new one, that hoop skirts were being offered for sale at all the stores and that the dressmakers were now beginning to put reeds around the bottoms of the skirts.
 Thus it is that fashion first reveals it. self to common mortals in glimpses, leaving it for time, with its healing balm, to soften the harshness of changes that at first glance seem unen- durable, but to which one becomes ha- bituated after days and days and days. Asa reward for having penetrated darkest Africa, MT. Stanley has had a sash named after him, and is has re- ceived the stamp of popular approval.
