The cottagers at Merwin's Point do not propose to permit the opening of saloons in that summer resort if they can prevent it.

 NEW ORLEANS, April 19.-Advices SC far received indicate that Foster has car. ried the state by about 10000 plurality.

An All.ArOund Crook and Confidence
 Man Sentenced to Jail for Playing
 ssthe Blind Soldier Dodge,,-His
 Pleadings for Mercy.
 BOSTON, April 19.-ln the Brighton dis trict court this morning Thomas w. Hall, the all-around crook and confidence man, stood in the dock for sentence, having been convicted last week for playing "the blind soldier racket" Halls face was one of despair and mental anguish. He told the court that stone walls could not a prison make or iron bars cage for him. He pleaded sick wife and starving children, and as he told of the intense suffering that it would cause his son up in Worcester to learn of the imprisonment of his father Hall shed bitter tears. This long sermon failed to move the court and Hall grasped the side of the dock and fell against the corner post with an attack of heart dis ease. This last dodge, however, made some impression on the court, and Judge Bald win began to question Hall as to his ante cedents. Hall poured forth tale of mis- cry unequalled in the annals of police life, and on his knees in the dock pleaded for mercy. Hall, when arrainged in the Brook line court, used the same plea, and had an attack of heart disease. He was sent to Dedham jail for the Brookline adventures. Judge Baldwin gave Hall two months in jail, and also sentenced him to pay fine of $5 for peddling without license.

tailor dress of a dull blue cloth,
trimmed with soft, darlish fur. The
frock was made with plain skirt and
a Russian blouse top long enough to an
swer for cloak, and to come down, in
fact, almost to the knees. The blouse
was belted with plain straps of cloth
overlapping in front and fastening
with big silver buckle. 1t had a
standing collar of fur and lot of
violets like those l was waiting for
thrust into it over the bosom. 1t had
also, to smarter it, blue felt hat with
an ostrich plume worn in the new fash
ion, rampant, instead of couchant, as
formerly.
A florists window, or any other, is
good place from which to see the jacket
show There is new sort that is rather
novel, and that was made, in the ex-
ample noticed recently, of dark green
cloth, embroidered up and down the
front and about the bottom and across
the pocket openings with gold. 1t had
a Shakespearean collar of heavy mink
fur, and a band of the same ran around
the dark velvet skirt that showed below.
Do you like the long velvet capes
that nearly reach your feet and that
call themselves cloaks from some OBJ
scure instinct of propriety? L saw a
black one day or two ago that was
rather taking, with its little pointed
yoke edged with sable and long full
folds dropping from the shoulders and
edged with triple sable bands.
There is one thing it is as well to re-
member, and that is, no one wears boas
any more.
To get back to less useful topics,
which may OF may not be more orna-
mental, dinner of the near future will
witness the debut of an ''Anne of Aus
tria" dinner robe, which rs to add a new
fad to the many dress hobby horses we
are now riding. The gown from which a
modiste, whose word goes far, expects
results SO sensational is heavy opal
tinted silk, cleaning by fits and starts
with evanescent tints of every hue of
the rainbow. The pointed bodice has a
square cut neck with a huge square
lapeled collar of white pearl embroid-
cred nets laid back from it and covering
the shoulders and good part of the
sleeves. just in front is a puffy fchu
of white null The sleeves are elbow
puffs huge and stately.
Under the bodice edge is gathered the
full sweeping skirt, which opens in
front over a petticoat of net embroid-
cred like the collar. The train is edged
all about with sable fur and the hair is
to be worn high and declzed with white
ostrich poppons. Shall tell you who
