The skirt is the regular Circular bell, lined

three yards of velvet are necessary.
Outing dresses for this year are made
with skirts to clear the ground, fitting we'll
about the hips, and faring prettily from
the knees. They are finished with rows
and rows of ribbon. and the belt is draped
and made deep. With this skirt a shirt
waist is to be worn. Over it comes
jaunty little cape, that falls to the hips.
This is bordered with ribbon to match the
skirt. and has rows of the shirred ribbon
about the neck as far as to the
shoulders. On the whole the style is pref

fashion OF which we all have reason to be
tired. and one is safe to get a stylish effect
even from the rendy made garment in this
yeas fashion. for the little capes come
nearer ia fitting any one than did the ready
made Jackets.

OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS.
From His Honor the Mayor:
JERSEY Cry, Oct. 1s, 1893.
To the Honorable Board of Street and
Water Commissioners:
Gentlemen,-When / entered upon my
duties as Mayor l saw the necessity of put
ting the laboring men on the same basis as
other creditors of the city. The laboring
men were employed without the necessary
formality, the lists had been unduly swelled,
their pay was not promptly provided, and
the whole system was far from being prop
erly attended to. ! insisted that the en-
p~loyment should be made by resolution,
properly entered upon the minutes, and the
same approved or d~isapproved by the
Mayor.
This contention was disputed, and the
matter was taken to the courts, and the
court decided in favor of the employees being
appointed by resolution.
Long before the rendering OF the de-
%cision, your Board, SO far as its employees
were concerned, stopped the practice of in
discriminate employment by individual
members of the Board and appointments
upon the recommendations of outsiders. and
duly appointed the employees by resolution,
the good effects of the change justify the
effort made to bring it about. When your
Board adopted the method Of appointing
employees by resolution, my intention was to
Immediately pay the claims of the employees
whose pay claims had been vetoed, as it was
a method l was attempting to correct, and
not the pay of the men which l was trying
to hold back. l could not well act while the
decision was pending. Since the decision
various reasons have delayed my taking up
this matter, but now that the city employees
are properly appointed, and believing that
your Board prefers this method to the old
one, l feel called upon to address to you
this letter. The following is a comparison
of the pay rolls of the laborers employed in
the Water Department during corresponding
periods under the old and the new systems:

Senator Kenna, both Democrats and Re
publicans, by appointing his widow. Anne

This appointment has been urged upon the
president persistently by the West Vir-

was never a money-maker and money
saver, and when he died he left large

property save a comfortable residence

WILMINGTON, o., May Ga cyclone OF
terrific proportions has struck this beauti-
full city leaving it's wake strewn with de-
bris of all kinds. Trees were but as straws
and few are left standing that encountered
the storm. Almost in the twinkling OF an
eye the storm was over and the half fran
tic populace timidly emerged to find the
streets filled with wrecked vehicles, wires,
roofs of all kinds and fallen buildings.
The beautiful city hall, lately remodeled.
is badly damaged, every church in the
town except the Presbyterian was badly
wrecked, the heavy bell of the Christian
church was blown some distance into the
street, and the spire was blown off esld
crashed through the roof and ceiling, the
Catholic church spire was left standing
while the remainder of the building was
demolished. A small child at the home of
J. f. Belts was taken out of bed asleep
after the storm, while it was surrounded
with bricks and fallen timbers. 1t is mi
raculous that no one was killed outright.
Jonathan Ha~tman and Caleb Hazard were
seriously hurt by falling timbers and
William Bloom aud several others were
slightly injured. \ large number of busi-
ness houses and dwellings were badly

-
caGo Girl Suicide.
CHICAGO, May 6.-Tne doDble attempt al
suicide by Olivia and Mercedes Piows has
been successful in one case, and the elder
girl lies cold in death. The coroner is
holding an investigation and the facts
seem to be that the girls were like many
other girls, and boys, tOO-wayward, Will
full and rebeliious-Quarreled with their
mother, refused to stay at home, and gen
orally acted the part Of foolish virgins.
Nothing against their honor Is alleged or
suspected. But it would seem that they
were bound "to have their own way and
failing to obtain it in this world concluded
to try the next.
Mercedes, although she took as much
morphine rs her elder sister, is getting
well, but her character is indicated in her
conduct as she lies in a bed that came very
near being her deathbed. She did not
know that lola" was dead but wished she
herself was. She told the coroner all
about the attempt ut suicide. saying that
they had talked about it for months, being
Respondent and unhappy, but why she
wouldn't tell. ITS none of your business.

How Nuch lisa life Worth?

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The loss of an I'M
known schooner off Plum island, Mass,
and the death of the crew, just four days
after the life-saving crew had quit work
for the season, has aroused attention to the
failure of the government to keep tie sta
tions equipped all the year around Ii is
according to law that the stations are
closed There are many obstacles in the
Say of opening the stations all the year
around and the statistics show that the
loss of life has been very light from
wrecks between May and September.

bub by announcing that White
had gone under and could not
meet his contracts. There wasn't
much surprise because it had been expect
ed. Mr.. WhSte's own statement was: THE
unexpected drop in all securities has made
it impossible TO realize on securities, or to
collect margins to meet my engagements
Caught in the Iudustrials.'
Shrinkage in "industrials " was the
cause, but no statement of liabilities could
be obtained. Later in the day it was re-
ported that Havemeyer had gone to
Whites rescue and supplied him with
funds. White was asked if he had received
offers of pecuniary assistance and said:
at is not so. If l had been offered Sl.0iU.-
600 at any time to-day would have grab
bed it in moment, and with ii in my
hands l would have taken hold of certain
bears in Wall street, tlogged the life out OF
them, skinned them and then nailed their
hides TO the fence in my back yard How
ever, he said that he expected to be able to
resume payments to-day, and it is believed
that the Havemeyer story Is true.
In The stock Exchange.
The market was very tense in the morn
ing and there was much excitement. The
first rally of consequence took place at
about p. m, and 1T was pronounced
throughout the general list and was kept
up to the close. This threw the brokers
into a furore of JOY and they acted like
madmen The relief from the strain WAS
tremendous and had to have an outlet.
Brokers hugged and kissed each other,
hats were thrown in the air, many of the
younger members cut surprising capers On
the floor, much to the amusement of the
crowded galleries.
The Banks Are All Right.
One of the officials of the clearing hou Sc
in commenting upon the situation said:
"Even should there be pressure upon the
banks-which is now practically an impos-
sibility-they are in position to stand it.
The banks have made money in the last
year In July, 1891. the banks of the as
sociation had S64, 100 900 surplus. Today
they have $4,000. This means consid-
cradle lee way, beyond the point where
stringency would begin to be felt. trace
the present trouble in the street rather to
distrust and lack of confidence than to act
ual depreciation of values"
But Where Is the CordaEe Trust?
The National CordaGe company is the
the principal factor in the panic. The big
trust is in the hands of receivers, and if
not exactly total wreck, is in such des-
perate condition that it will require the
most skillful and shrewd management to
straighten out the present tangle in its af-
fairs and put it upon its pins again, if this
can ever be accomplished.
