Threatening a Constable.

Constable Thomas Boland yesterday re-
ceived an anonymous communication
notifying him that he is neglecting his duty
and unless he gives it more attention he will
be called to account. The letter states that
there are speak -easies in a number of base.
ments near the constable's residence.
Boland says that he is not neglecting his
duty and will pay no attention to anony-
nous letters. He knows of no speak.easies
and if there are any he cannot act without
having knowledge Or proof He says the
parties who are afraid to give their names
can enforce the law themselves if they have
any grounds.

that whoever may be selected to serve on the

devote their time faithfully to the work and

resignation and neglect after the board il

THE CONSUMERS PROTEST..
AROUSED BY A THREATENED
INCREASE OF PRICES.
BUTCHERS TO HOLD A MEETING
They claim Wholesale Prices OF
Meats Are High and Ice Bills
Are Increasing - Grounds
of the Protest.

has been called secretly and no information
has been given for publication. Several con-
sumers who heard of the intended meeting
said to-day that the butchers are selecting
very poor time in which to raise prices and
they had better go slow, lest the trade they
may drive from them may more than counter
balance the increased rates. The suspension
of three large collieries in this district has
thrown nearly two thousand men and boys
idle and the officials give no hopes for an
early resumption. Two thousand idle hands
in population of 1900 or $4,000 forms a
poor basis for an increase on commodities in
any line of business and it must also be re-
membered that people can do with much less
meat in the summer than they can in the
winter. 1t may be true that the wholesale
prices of meats are high and the approach Of
the summer season increases the ice birfs Of
the retail dealers, and that therefore the pro
hts OF the latter are very small. The & ound'
for an increase may be very good, but point
arises as to policy. In view of the presen
depressed condition of affairs will the
butchers be content with large sales ant
fair profits, or hold out for small, or nj
sales, and very little, if any profit?
No citizen can deny any business man the
right to place upon his commodities price
that will give him fair profit, nor have thu
consumers the right to dictate prices, but il
this particular the protest against an increase
of prices at the present time seem fair Tht
people have burden to bear at present anG
the business men who will show disposition
to bear with them until the suspended
collieries resume operations and the timel
become little better will exhibit the bes
tact There will certainly be no objection tt
reasonable increase in prices when the
people are relieved of the strain.
Let the meat dealers weigh this matter
carefully before acting on it.

A large number of names have been added
to the list of people who desire to accompany
the two first winners of this contest to the

a great number who wish to enjoy this
special trip, but are waiting to see what the

The railway fare will not be more than sac

and probably much less. Those who apply
now will be the first notified when the ar.

cry, though in following this model that
could be left off, and plain stitching or mar
row braid could be substituted. The skirt
basque effect is quite new, but has immedi-
ately found favor.
Basques, when not cut on the gown or
waist, are often simulated by sewing a ruff
le, a puff or turret points around the bot
tom of the waist. Some of these portions
of the waist are Sprung" which means
that they are cut out nearly in a circle and
the outer edges left to fall into whatever
shape they will. Sometimes the waist will
have bretelles of velvet or plush, and this
frill, or whatever else it may be, is of the
same material.
One model had double bretelles of bias
velvet green shot with crimson, and the
belt and basque skirt of the same all Dor
dered with fur. This went with a dress of
fine gray cheviot. The skirt had two or
three wrinkles thrown forward. Around
the bottom was a wide band of the ''shot-
ted" velvet with three narrow lows of fur
trimming. To my mind a brown trim
ming would have been more genteel. There
was a short cape to match this, with a bias
band of the velvet set up about three inches
from the edge, and the fur binding was

ssfancy fying,'' '~'changeabie s~carabee,"
flowing ice" 'iwinter Grape curled" and
''horse hair tissue" Also there are iris
fantasy Frosted basket" and shaded
stripes" All these relate to new wooden or
silk and wooden goods for winter dress.
Among the new materials for cloaks /
noticed heavy ~broadcloth, kerseys. beaver,
corduroy, a~strakhan and heavy cheviot.
These are for ordinary wear. For evening
there was one piece of exquisite goods. 1t
was a pearl gray and white wool brocade,
and it was woven so hat the white hairs
stuck out in such a manner as to overshad-
ow the gray. 1t was to be made in wraps
for balls, opera, ETC., and to be lined as the
wearer preferred, with fur, satin or oriental
striped silk.
The brocaded wool in black is an elegant
material for handsome coats or wraps. A
suit recently sent from Paris had the skirt
of the finest silk warp henriette, the back
laid in deep plaits and the front covered
with heavy courtauld Grape. The coat was
full in the skirt in the back and cut to fit
the figure at the waist, both back and
front. The wide lapels were covered with
Grape. The coat was made of fine black
wooden brocade. This suit was lined with
silk throughout and cost S495. Why not
even $500 l cannot imagine.
The goods used in making women's coats
is not much lighter than that for those of
gentlemen with the exception of chinchilla.
l have seen many capes made of bSaver and
pilot cloth, and also the thick plaids that
some men affect. The cheviots for mems
coats and trousers are very little thicker
than those fabrics for m Mems coats
are being cut much longer than they have
been, and the large incroyable revers and
lapels are seen to a marked degree on mems
frock coats and overcoats. Getaways for
gentlemen look to the uninitiated eye just
as they always did, but the tailor says they
are several inches longer.
And how are all these new goods to be
made? A pretty style for plaid-and one
quite NOVELS to have the skirt quite plain,
gigot sleeves and a vest jacket corsage
hanging loosely over a belt of cherry vel
vet. This style of vest is cut slightly dou-
BILE breasted and has three pockets. The
wide Loie Fuller collar has a second one
which is simply sprung" and has still
another with revers of white billiard cloth
edged with a band of persian embroidery.
There is a white chemisette front and
mans collar and tie.
The cloth gowns and fine cheviots and
solid colored materials would look well
made up with a skirt Of the same or a very
artistically contrasted color. The skirt is
plain, and the front of the waist should be
like it. The overdress reaches to the bot
tom and forms a part of the skirt in the
back. There is a basque effect quite deep,
and this. with the cuffs and lapels, gives the
costume a distinction and grace that no one
would do i'll to follow. All the edges of the
over portion are outlined with fine embroid-

goods. Black French imperial cloth, with
rich boucle effects, eurled up over the
closely woven surface, is another new
thing. This will be largely used for hand
some street dresses and will be tailor fin
ished. There is a triple warp, very heavy
French henriette cloth, with silk finish,
but with really no silk in it, and it looks
almost as we'll as the real Priestly henri
cites, at any rate while new.
The list does not stop there, for I found
new fancies in whipcords and cheviot
serges, also a line of beautiful navy blue
serges in two or three shades and with a
white hair line stripe. These make up
into very pretty gowns for young ladies,
and they are serviceable. There is a new
whipcord English storm serge, both in navy
blue and colors, and there are several yari-
cites of imported waterproof serges in sew
eral solid colors, and particularly in navy
blue. A new storm serge has an extra
wide vale and can be found in navy gray,
tan and several shades of green and brown.
This would make most excellent gowns for
ordinary outdoor wear.
Several of the serges and cheviot serges
are shown in the new browns and nayys
and cardinals and can be purchased at from
60 cents to 81 a yard, and these goods run
81 inches wide, so that eight yards will
make a full costume-jacket, waist and
skirt. Serge, cheviot, tweed and whipcord
are the goods that are regarded as the best
value for those who have little money to
spend. Those who can spare more buy the
''fancies,n as they call the boucle and other
Eeaves and styles. Hop sacking is also a
great fayorite with the ultra stylish, though
it looks a little coarser than a horse
blanket.
There are several new designs in plaids
intended to take the place of the extra large
and striking and the toomodest shepherds
plaids. Many like plaids, but the shep-
herds plaids did not and could not bemade
to give the dashing effect they wanted, and
the large plaids were too noticeable. Now
we find a modest pattern with the plaids
made of four and five inch squares, with
exquisitely shaded lines and blocks, some
of them showing four and five shades OF
gray, with black and white, or perhaps the
