This time the designer has left the beaten
track altogether and turned out something
very eccentric. But STYLE it will be OBJ
served, is not lost in eccentricity. 1t sounds
comical for bodice to be split up the back,
but it really looks very nice. Likewise the
sleeves, which are on the same order. Di-
vided skirts have been long talked about !;
now we have the divided bodice. This is
worn over a tightftting bodice of silk,
which material forms also the under sleeve,
which the upper sleeves are unbuttoned to
show. A high collar of velvet. surrounded
with braidiDg and headed with fur. gives
the bodice great style. A shaped belt of
braided velvet adds Slenderness to the fig
ure. The long gathered coat-tails are In the
prevailing style, and hip pockets of velvet
trimmed with braiding are worn. The skirt
Is cut, it is almost needless to say, with
demi-train bordered with fur and design

There is no doubt that the laws protecting

tablishment.
Chief Crowley had call yesterday MORN
Ing from the officials of the Chinese Consul
ate. Their business was to push forward il
possible the establishment of police station
in Chinatown, to prevent the utter lawless-
ness now existing in that district Chief
Crowley explained that the difficulty was in
finding n suitable place, the only available
location yet discovered being on Waverly
place, just south of Washington street,
room 10x14 feet. This was considered to be
too small by the Chief. but the Consul was
so urgent that he offered to pay all the
necessary expenses i'll fitting up this place
until more suitable one may be found
Chief Crowley has expressed his approval
OF the movement, but has added that much
of the existing lawlessness might be sup
pressed if the Police Court Judges would
only enforce the vagrancy law upon the
Chinese arrested for that offenSe. If the
station is established. it is under TODD that
squad OF about thirty men will report off
and on at that place.
Chief Crowley, it is also underst God, will
give his answer to the proposition tn-mor-
row.

Mary FoIey,s Assessment.

The Judiciary Committee of the Board of
Supervisors received on Friday petition
from Mary Foley for the cancellation OF an
assessment against her for improvements
valued at $500. She made affidavit that
there were no improvements on her lot on
the first Monday in March, when the assess

fused to make the correction of the palpable
error unless instructed by the board. but it

THE CoUSrY,s NEW BENCH.

By the final passage OF the Judicial bill,
and its uudoubted sanction by the Gov
eruor, Allegheny county will get its badly
needed new Court with three additional
judges. Next to poor health or an empty
pocket. litigation is among the least desira-
bic OF things. But it should be expeditions
when il is wanted, and this new Court is not
a luxury, but necessity. Upon Governor
Pattison will now fall the responsibility for
appointments to the new bench, such as
should command the confidence and ap-
proval OF the bar and the public. 1t is due
to say that, while not many names have so
far been suggested, they are mostly good
ones. Without attempting to forecast the
Governors action, it is risking nothing to
assume that Mr. Marshall Brown will be
one OF the appointees. Probably never has
a name been pressed for any function with
heartier political support, irrespective of
narrow partisanship, or with warmer or
dorsement than has been given in this in
stance.
With two other appointments as salts
factory as Mr.. Browns, if it occurs, is sure
to be, the Governors tickets for the new
Bench would very certainly be renomlnated
and ratified at the polls later on. The Gov
ernur without doubt will sign the Judicial
bill. With the evidence to be laid before
him Of local judgment as to the various as
pirants he cannot make mistake in his
ae1ections

UNTIMELY FRIGIDITY.

That indefinite and unreliable phenome-
non of the weather classified as 'the May
cold spell'' put itself in evidence Monday
evening and stayed with us in all its rigors
yesterday. 1t was emphasized by the pre-
yious rapid advance apparently toward
summer by the boisterous winds, and by the
disappointment involved in the previous
smooth but unverifed predictions of the
Signal Service in the form of Stationary
temperature"
The point of great interest in connection
with this abrupt change of temperature-a
point dangerously close to freezing-is its
effect on the budding fruit. Most experts
in the fruit line claim that the heretofore
disguised blessing of dryness has prevented
destruction of the buds. But with the ther-
mometer going down each night into the
thirties. those who have placed their hopes
on an abundant supply this year will breathe
a deep sigh of relief if the cold wave passes
without severe damage to most varieties of
fruit.
While we are awaiting the decision of
this important matter, it remains to COM
ment on the fact that the weather, as here
tofore, is beyond prescience. Besides the
slip of the Signal Service already alluded
to, we were told that a wave of 90-degree
temperature was about starting from Dako-
ia. The contrast between that and the frosts
which actually came is bitter one.

CENTRAL SCHOOL CoNTRoL,

There is interest, if not instruction, in the
activity and uuanimisy with which the
Philadelphia papers are urging the bill
pending in the Legislature to abolish sec
tional school boards and concentrate control
of the schools in central board or depart
ment of education. As the sectional boards
in Philadelphia closely correspond to our
ward or district boards the arguments which
apply to Philadelphia would seem, if they
are valid, to fit Pittsburg pretty well.
1t is asserted in Philadelphia that the
sectional boards introduce politics into
city education, waste money" prevent
reforms" and slower the standard OF teach
ing" Another journal asserts that the
local boards quarrel over the scrub women,
the janitors and the patronage" while
"some of the wards are well supplied with
schools others cannot accommodate all the
children owing to the senseless system of
subordinsting education to ward and pre-
cInct politics"
That the concentration of school control
for large city IN the hands of central
authority would ordinarily take it out of
politics is doubtful to say the least 1t is
possible to contend that the localization of
school control has the sole virtue Of remov-
ing it from political influences that surround
organizations governing an entire city.
The bill proposes to accomplish that end by
vesting the appointment of the Central
Board in the hands OF the Judges. But, if
