nihcent buildings that have wishin the
past few years sprung up in the lower

Newark avenue and 25 on Bay street.
THE PLANS.

building. the first two stories of which
will be of stone, and the upper three Of

The brick portion will be elabCrabeiy
trimmed with stone, and slate towers will
rise from the Newark avenue and the
Bay street corners. The entire nrst hoof

the fraudulent proceedings which all Of
us have witnessed. We should. therefore.
oppose every act providing for voluntary
bankruptcy. Whilst It is certain that the
Constitution intends that Congress shall
have power to pass an act for involuntary
bankruptcy. our experience teaches Us
that II would not be wise TO enact one.
1t must be administered In the Federal
courts. and these sit far from the homes
Of the people. Fraud and oppression are
the inevitable concomitants OF this state
OF facts. On a whole. the country is
doing very we'll without a bankrupt law.

movement for one will be ignored. as has
heretofore been the case.

,here was nothing beyond the fact that
ba was the third officer In the Govern
mont TO Justify him in assuming that ne
would be called en-.
The unfortunate feature OF the whoie
matter was that Mr.. Crisp had not only
prepared a speech, but had given II OUT
for publication, and 1t was published;
This placed him In a very embarrassing
position. Of course. but that the speech
had been given out. and still Mr.. Crisp
was not called on TO deliver It, Is only
additional proof Of the fact that speech
from him was not expected. Had Mr..
Anderson. the chairman OF the dinner,
known that the address the Speaker had
prepared would appear In print. he would
undoubtedly have relieved Mr.. Crisp OF
the modification which was In store for
him by calling on him. He evidently
thought that the Speaker fully under
stood that he was not expected to say
anything.
The utmost that Mr. Crisp's friends
can make of this affair therefore is that
his failure to be called on for a speech
was an unfortunate oversight. 1t must be
remembered that the Reform Club Is
club. and its dinner was club dinner,
not a popular gathering in any sense Of the
word The management had made out
their programme and when the dinner
took place the chairman simply carried
Il out. Perhaps # would have been bet
ter for party harmony II the opposite to
what did happen had happened, but the
club had no motive in sighting, much
less In insulting, the Speaker, ana the
names Of its leading members are sur
fcient guarantee that no slight was IN
tended. II is to be hoped that no noun
tain will be made out OF molehill In
this matter to the possible injury OF the
Democratic party. and that the Speaker
and his friends will be satisfied with the
APOLOGIES that have been rendered.

Urged for District Attorney for the Eastern
District of Virginia.

District of Virginia
Editor Richmond Times:
In presenting to the public, through
your columns, the name of Mr.. Prents
for the office of district attorney for the
Eastern district of Virginia, / am aware
that the names Of many other excellent
lawyers have already been mentioned
for that position. But ] beg leave to
say that, in my judgment, Mr. Prerris
has claims for the position that should
command the highest consideration.
He comes from portion of the State
that has had no recognition in Federal
appointments since the war. He is
typical representative Of the glorious ban
ner district Of Virginia and of the United
States-the Second congressional district
of Virginia.
He was the elector for this district dur
ing the recent campaign, and the splendid
canvass he made for Cleveland, Steven
son and Tyler is in the mouth OF every
good Democrat I'm the district.
He has In every campaign in this dis
trict though ii has been at times classed
as a black district, been. loyal, untiring
Democrat. He is a lawyer of the very
highest acknowledgements, painstak-
ing, studious.
He is in the prime Of vigorous man
hood, and thoroughly equipped for the
best work in the office for which he is
recommended.
trict attorney would be regarded as a high
and deserved compliment to this section
of the State.

Here you see in the picture OF a pretty
little girl felt hat of a stylish and pic
turesQue shape and size In the model
1t was bright red but suit yourself dear
mother, as to color. AS shown In the
engraving, one side of the wide brim
OF this hat is turned up and ornamented
by a rosette of red faile The round
crown is encrcled by a band of velvet.
At the side IL is ornamented with red
feathers, which lie partly along the brim;
the outside of this hat is ornamented by
bow Of velvet.
Some Of the felt hats this season are
OF double material. having a contrast of
colors; the shade on top being light, and
the brim that comes near the hair being
quite dark. Those which are considered
at present most stylish are red color
lined with black felt. In fact, 1t may
be said that this season celebrates the
triumph of colCrs. All kinds of opposed
shades are united, and It is In the happy
blending Of these shades that one re-
cognizes the art Of dressing, which beau
tiful women OF the world possess, for
they are worn with such taste that none
of these somewhat outre blending Of
coIors seem at all shocking to the sight.
II anyone had spoken formerly OF trim
ming a red or blue hat with bright
violet, what indignation would have been
excited. Well, nowadays. this is quite
fashionable. And / must csnfess that
violet gives to nearly everyones face a
charming pallor, imparting to it at the
same time a peculiarly charming tinge.
Many pale colors are employed in trim
ming hats. Pink is the chief favorite,
but red and green, backed with pink,
are popular shades. The majority of the
bonnets have the crown of velvet, but
brims or crowns entirely in feathers, or
with jet, steel pink lined
beads, iridescent and diamond beads are
very fashionable.
