REDFERN'S FASHIONS.
4 Braided Gown and a TlGatGr C0Stume-The
Subject Of Hats.
Special to THE SUNDAY CALL.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 1892-The matinee
hat is not extinguished yet, nor vet the
complaints concerning it. 1t is difficult to
guess how the matter will end. The man
play-goer removes his hat from choice, we
suppose, on entering a theater-at least it
would never occur to any one except
humorist to hazard the suggestion that he
does it from chivalry. The lady play gOer
keeps hers on from the same reason.
However, the plot thickens IN a season
when hats have assumed such vast proper
tons as Paris has decreed that they shall
90 to this year. Some one suggests that it
should be made obligatory for women as
well as men to remove their hats in all
places Of entertainment; but we are in
cljned to think that notice suggested by the
renowned MIR. Punch - only old ladies'
allowed to retain their hats would achieve
the nOblest results.
Hats are very pretty this season, but they
are also wide III circumference, and nOdding
plumes are used on many. There is a strong
tendency we note with jOy-among
fashionable milliners to irregular shdpes
aud to study some of the old historical paint
inEs-not Of course, too conScientiously.
but with very satisfactory results. Velvet
and coarse lace, arranged careesSly and ap-
pareutly with only lew stitches Of the
mos TIMING nature 10 uOlu them together,
form a head covering which IS nothing de-
scribed but everything TO see Redeem
recommends two contrasting cOlors for mil
Huerv, and encourages the same idea for
gowns. He is making his sleeves lower and
lower every day, and the number of prin-
cesse gowns which he turns out is iDcreas-
ing in amount. Amateur dreSsmakers will
do well 10 avoid this style as long as posi-
bic, for it is extremely difficult to manage.
Several specialists work to fashion one
gown, and more time and labor goes to one
princesse gown than TO any other garment.
Braidng as trimming for gowns will be
seen in lovely designs in the spring, and
gold. silver and bronze will be used abun-
dainty.

TOBACCO.
Profess or Tassinari Says It's Use Has an
Effect on BaciIli.

Professor TRssinari Says It's Use Has an
Effect on BacIlf.
1t has long been q popular opinion that
tobacco is an antiSeptic. and this belief
seems TO have some solid basis of fact Pro-
fessOr VincenzO Tassinari of the HYGIENE
Institute of the University Of Pisa recently
made some very interesting experiments on
the supposed germcdal virtues of tobacco
smoke, which seemed to show that it really
had destructive action upon the growth
of bacilli, those minute organisms which
are said to be the cause of a vast number of
bodily Ills that flesh is heir to. Professor
Tassinari observed the action of the fumes
upon seven different kinds of bacteria-the
so-called cholera bacillus, the cattle distem-
per bacillus, the pus coccus, the FnkleT-
Prior bacterum. the typhus and pleuro-
pneumonia bacillus and the blue pus
bacillus.
Wishing 20 initiate as closely as possible
the processes going on in a smoker mouth,
the professor passed tobacco fumes through
a horizontal tube into receptacle kept
moist by damp COTTONWOOD, which con-
tanned also n colony of baciili. The result
showed that the smoke retardS the growth
of some kinds of bacilli and absolutely
prevents the growth of others. The to-
bacco experimental with was that which is
used In making the largo Cavour cigar,
mucn IaVoTeu III 1GdIy, anu IL was proven
that its fumes retard the growth Of pus
bacilli by seventy-two hours, and of cattle
distemper baeill by 100 hours, while they
absolutely arrest the growth OF the so
called cholera and typhus hacilli. If Pro
fessor Tassinarfs results may be relied
upon it is evident that not only is tobacco
not the deadly enemy of MAINLAND it is
singular with what eagerness man takes to
so many of his deadly euemeS-but in many
instances il is his great friend, not only by
way Of solace, but as a warder of and de-
stroyer of deadly germs that insist on
colonZng his body and turning it to thei
own uses-All the Year Round.

Boards were at various times taxed in En-
gland, aud the Sheriff of Canterbury paid
8 shiliugs and pence for wearing a beard.
In the first year of Elizabeth's reign every
beard of above fortnight's growth was
taxed shillings and 6 pence, but the law
was too absurd TO be enforced. Peter the
Great imposed a tax of a rouble upon boards,
but il was soon Cancelled.

The Meeting.

The McEnery meeting here last Tues
day was a gratifying success. The
Court House was well filled. aud many
ladies graced tl:o OCCASION with their
prcscuCe.
Hon. II. l.. Garland called the meet
lug to order and requested Judge ESti-
lette to preside, which he did in an able
manner. The speakers were Col. Il. \.
Ogden, Mr.. IL. l.. Dutour, Hon. J. V.
Calhoun, Senator O'Sullivan and Judge
Felix I. Pocht, each and every one of
whom delivered effective addresses
and elected the most enthusiastic APP
pause. There were very few Foster
people in attendance, and those who
stayed away did themselves an injus-
tice, for they thereby missed an excel
lent opportunity of adding to their stock
of political information. II they read
to-day's DEMOCRAT, however, or get
somebody to read 1t for them, they will

ihc situation on the eve Of the pli-

Here is IA chance for those who are sincere in
their opinion that Murphy j. Foster is the man
whom the majority OF white voters of Louisi-
ana want for Governor. This afternoon the

that McEncry beats Foster for governor in the

Grating Gov. -McEnely of any compIcit
with the Burke bond frauds, las cast
pail OF gloom over the State House ring
but still with Elalignance really ven
omOus, they are persiSting in their Sian
derous charges. Although these charge
have been repeatedly rcfuted at length
snort, concise statement is in uCmand
to refer to, by all interested, so we shal
go over the ground once more.
1t is unnecessary to 20 over the char.
ges made, for it is sufficient to explode
the Whole ma tier to state the facts re-
garding the thee classes of bonds in
volved in the business.
First the consolidated bonds, belong
! ing to the Agricultural and Mechanical
| College, which We're ordered DESTROYED
10y the Constitution of 1879, Art. 2::3, in
! such manner as the Legislature should
provide, which in 1882 We're reported bv
JOINT committee to bc in the treasury
| and during the Same year by Il concur
rent resolution the Legislature ordered
the Auditor and Treasurer to destroy
them. The Governor had nothing to do
with them whatsoever. This is conclu-
slve, 50 far rs this class of bonds is con-
cerned.
Second, the consolidated bonds which
had been received from holders in eX-
change for constitutional bonds-Con-
stitution Of 1879, Art. .223333-amountins 23333 TO
$4,000, exchanged bctore May &, 1882,
which reIe destroyed, as the process YER
bal on file in the Auditors office now
shows. All the talk about these bonds
not being destroyed is simply falschood,
as no one has ever seen Il bond or cOu-
pom Of this S2G5, 900 since that date, and
10 proof that one exists has ever been
prodnccd. III they were not DESTROYED
as rccitcd, let the FoSteliteS produce one
of them. This settles lie No. ,
Third. This c lass OF bonds consisted
of consolidated bonds received in tx-
change for constitutional bonds after &
May 9Th, 1892, and during 1893, amount-
ing to $4,000, and were not DESTROYED .
because they were not cancelled aud
turned over to tie Auditor for destruc-
ton as required 10y law, but used by
Burke for bis own personal advantage
and under the law; how could he be de-
tected when the bonds were not even
in the treasury, mnch less hold Il GOV
ernor responsible for their destruction,
whose only duty in the premises under
the most strained Interpretation Of tue
aW only came into existence after they
lad been cancelled aud turned over to
lie Auditor for destruction The
Whole charge is preposterous. But
Nichols himself, Of whom Foster is but
moutbpiece and stool pigeon in this
'ampalg gu, says as follows about this
'ery matter:

boss dicker erpos6 is being felt, and hun

There can be no increase in the rate
of taxation unless the people SO decide
at the polls. Ia order to increase the
rate, the Legislature must submit a con-
stitutional amendment to the people
which amendment cannot he acted up
on until 1S96-and the people must ap-
prove and adopt it at the polls before
it goes into effect. The statement
made by the Fosterites that the Gov
ernor can or will increase the taxes is
therefore another bold attempt to de-
ceive the people, who should resent it
and rebuke it by their votes next Tues
day. On this point the Ouachita Tele-
graph Bulletin says:
The man who will permit himself to be per
suaded that the rate of taxation can or will be
affected by the individual whom the people

these was the failure to keep tally sheets

the omission, he said it was not custom
