A few days ago Mr.. James Bardon
gave to Il Telegram reporter his views
on the question of retrenchment III
city expenses, as follows:
Regarding the economy Of the city,
| think retrenchment is all right to a
certain extent. | do not think the
city has any right whatever to do away
with the board OF public works. If
times are hard let the city cut down
the salaries of the board of public
works, and say here gentlemen, we
will paw YOU a certain sum and let you
attend to your private business. That,
| think, would meet with the approval
of all Economy i'll the police depart
ment is all right. We have more po-
lice officers than we know what to DO
with. One half the officers would be
better. Another thing the city should
avoid, and that is arreStlng VagS and
drunken men. An officer should be
instructed to take drunken men home
and send yagS out OF town. mat
would be far less expense. The trou-
BILE is, all our officers are looking Tor
notoriety, and like to make as many
arrests as possible each month.
That is not right it is only bill of ex-
pense to the city. Another thing,
policemen have no business arresting
Il man because he sleeps in a box car.
That is the railroad company's look
out and not the clty'S.
"When | was president of the town
board | told the policemen that they
were not there for making arrests but
for keeping the peace.
The East end police make fewer
arrests than any other in the city. One
policeman for night and one for day is
all we need at the East end. We have
two officers here more than we need. "

The Hates; styles for Bathing
Costumes.

a fetching dress is composed OF
| heavy black gross grain silk relieved
with rows Of very narrow white SOU
! tache braid. 1t is made with point
ed yoke into which is pleated the full
waist; on the yoke are several rows of
/ the braid, and the neck is high and
! finished with rutlle also trimmed
with braid The skirt has four rows
/ of braid above the hem. a short full
/ puff forms the sleeve.
With this suit is worn bright red
oiled tatfeta hat with q broad brim; Il
ribbon Of the same shade is passed over
the crown and tied under the chin in
Il bow, forming the hat into quaint
poke. The effect is really beWitching
when pretty youthful face is under
the brim. Black stockings with shoes
combined are worn to complete the
costume.
y black surah suit has the shield
embroidered i'll white; large reVerS roll
pointed to the waist; the collar IS
round at the back; the sleeves are full
and long. On the skirt, at the top Of
the hem, is white embroidery similar
to that on the shield. The skirt is
finished with q pleated belt fastened
at the side with bow. 4 red oiled
tatfeta cap is worn to protect the halr,
and over it, coquettishly tied, is q silk
! handkerchief of the same shade.
y black alpaca is made with a shield
of sky-blue alpaca and three narrower
bias folds of the blue trim the skirt. a
! blue silk handkerchief worn tied I'M
der the chin VIII form striking but
harmonious contrast to the many red
heads bobbing about in the surf.
With a sigh Of relief one turns to
the old, familiar blue flannel which,
after all, seems to be the appropriate
material for bathing suits. This one
has plain, square yoke and a deep
sailor collar trimmed with little tabs
of blue flannel with white polka dots
The sleeves are very long and full
The skirt has horizontal tabs of the
polka dot flannel around the bottom
White canYas sandals, bound with blue
and with narrow blue silk ribbon cross
ed on the instep, arc effective with
this suit.
The sensible fashion of having the
neck and arms covered is d great boon
to the very slender woman who form
erly labOred under a serious dIsadvan-
tage when compared with her plumper
companions on the sands.
Cashmere or silk tights win be worn
under these suits AS the cashmere
vests fit 50 closely and hold the figure

minutes and thirty-fivs seconds when the wind is blowing at the rate of three miles an hour; and 1t will be cooled twenty de- gress in forty-eight seconds when the wind is blowing at the rate of twsnty-ssven miles per hour;-and these figures, in view of the fact that 1t Is common occurrence for the wind to blow from twenty to thirty miles an hour, are cited to show the i'm. portance of carefully considering the num- Der and size of windows and exposed walls before designing an apparatus for warm ing building. It Is further found that a granite wall eighteen inches thick will lose sixty seven per cent. more heat than a brick wall of the same thickness; c frame building, plastered on the inside and covered with paper, felt, and sheath ing on the outside, will lose 10 per cent less heat than brick wall of the same thickness; frame house built without 6 paper felt covering on the outside will lose % per cent. more heat than the same house If covered with felt. Again, 1t is demon strsted that one square foot of glass will lose ss much heat as siI square feet of twelve-inch brick wall. If closely fitted double sashes arc used 7s per cent. less heat will be lost than with the single cash arrangement.

SOME CURIOUS CULPRIrs.

Anathemas of the Church Have Been
 Hurled at Mosquitoes and Caterpil-
 lars.
 History supplies many instances of cu- rious oulprits. Vermin have in all ages proved prolific devsststors. It was the custom In medieval times for sufferers by their depredations to have recourse to the church which, in due time, illuminated an athemas against the culprits. The proce- dure in such csses resembled that in vogue in the ordinary legal tribunals. The plain tiff appointed counsel, the court accorded one to represent the defendants, and the ecclesiastical judge summed up and gave sentence. Bartholomew de Chasseneux, a noted lawyer of the sixteenth century, was 8 great authority in this department of law and custom. being author of an exhaus- tive treatise on the subject, taid to com bine remarkable skill with vast erudition. He was also @ successful advocate in these peculiar triale. On cne occasion he was appointed counsel for the defense In 6 case where @ horde of rats were sued for de- vastation committed in the harvest fields of large portion of the province of Bur gundy. Chasseneux's defense in this i'm portant trial was considered very clever, although to modern ears 1t sounds like a tissue of nonsense. He showed that the rats had not received formal notice, and obtained 8 pronouncement that the par sons of the afflicted parishes should an nounce an adjournment, and summon the defendants to appear on @ certain day. On the adjourned trial he complained that the delay accorded his clients had been too short to allow of their appearance, in con sequence of the road being infested with csts. He succeeded in obtaining 6 second adjournment, and finally no verdict was given. In early times there was & super stition that cocks laid eggs, and that from these eggs sprang basilisks, or horrible winged serpsnts. Gross, in Petite Chron- igue de Bale, relates that in 1474 an absn- doned cock of that town was accused of having laid one of these eggs, and was tried, convicted and sentenced to death. The culprit was delivered to the execu- tioner, who burned 1t publicly, along with its egg, in a place called Kohlenberger, amid a large concourss of people, sssem- bled to witness such a ludicrous execution. Felix Malicious relates that proceedings were instituted at Mayence in the thir teenth century against some offending mo. squitoes, and states that the judges before whom these unwelcome ineects were tried pronounced sentence of bsnisbment against them. Snsils were sentenced in a case st Macon in August. 14S7, while in 1885 6 plague of caterpillars suffered the penal ties of excommuDication-

age, but @ mere matter of hole in her
 stocking.
 A gown to be worn over such 8 skirt is
 also of pale rainbow silk, only all the ool-
 ors are different this time. It has wide
 insertions of lace, three rows about the
 bottom of the skirt, and you can see right
 through the insertion to those distrscting
 ruffies on the underskirt. The dress is
 knife pleated to the waist. There 1t Is loosely bound in by e scarf-hks belt that floats of in the back like . veritable rain bow. The sleeves are great rainbow silk puffs, that, as 1t were, do not shut up at the bottom, but are open, and come only to the elbow. These fall thus over under sleeves of transparent rainbow null. If the silk Is distracting, the transparent null Is too much for a person to stand, when you consider. besides, that the pink of the arm shows through.
 Another very pretty costume Is made of pink polka dotted voils trimmed with pink surah. It is made with @ double skirt as shown In the illustration, and both are finished at the bottom with e full ruohing
 ground. The round waist is cut quite full and is shirred several times at the top in back and front in imitation of yoke. The collar is high in the back but cut down in front, and Is finished by tiny pleating of surah which continues down the right side to the waist. The sleeves are of voile and have a DIrectoire puff at the top. A scarf of white cashmere ella borately embroidered with pink silk is to bs worn with this costume. FLoRKTTE.

Now It's regular yield is from two and one-hah to three tons to each monthly cutting. It grows % dense that it is difficult to now ii, and he thinks it should be cut every three weeks.
 Its yield thus far this season has been as follows: April cutting, 9 tons per acre; May, 2f tons; June, tons; July, 2t tons; total of l03 tons, with three cuttings yet to hear from-nsmely, August, September and October. Presumably they will aver age 2f tons per cutting, thus making c to- tai yield from that hody of land of l7E tons Of alfalfa per scre for the season.

 A new and pretty style of. petticoat looks like a very full and loosely knife pleated skirt of rainbow silk, with lace at the edge. This skirt has, apparently. the edges of five other skirts just like this, showing one below the other, under it. As 6 matter of fact this skirt Is set on a lin ing of the silk implicated, and the lining comes enough longer than the skirt to permit of the Ave ruf6es showing one be- low the other. The effect of pale rain bow silk in knife plesting is perfectly dis traoting.

THR IRSUVTS


 The ancient controversy about the Jesu- its will be revived by the unexpected action of Count Paul Won Honsbrock in withdrawing from the Society of Jesus and giving his reasons therefor. His letter explaining his course Is an interesting and powerful psychological study of the effect upon the individual of the rigid discipline enforced by the rules of the Society. It analyses with scientific precision the pro, ceas by which from the beginning of his novitiate the Jesuit is moulded body and soul into an instrument of mere passive obedience to the mysterious will of the Order. Not only his most intimate feelings and his most secret thoughts, but the expression of his face and the movements of his limbs are shaped by the most precise code of rules and regulations, and subjected to the daily and hourly scrutiny of his associates and superiors until Che has parted with almost every shred of individuality, whether of deed ol speech, or even thought" Count Hons brock examines the bearing of this system excessively upon the religious and mora life of the individual, upon his intelleotua development, and upon his relations witt society at large and with his own fellow | citizens in particular.
 It Is evident that Count von Hon,brool wasn't fitted to be a Jesuit, for his lette, shows that the Jesuits hadn't made muol ! progress in destroying his individuality ol freedom of action. The Society of Jesu will survive his defeotion, as it has sur vived long and savage opposition boti within and without the Church for whicl | it works. The Counts action will, how ever, add somewhat to the hostility fel toward the powerful Society in some of tn, European countries. It will also add tt the fright of some in this country who ar' sure that the Jesuits are seeking to rul' this nation, and that they are making rapid and dangerous progress in their scheme.
