SATURDAY SALAD.
A BREEZY LETTER.

NKw YORK, June 21.-Dearest Janet:
Smart gowns galore have gladdened our
optics this week, at church, the show and
the races. Danes and damsels have been
gorgeous. even Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed as one of these"
How would you like to promenade Fifth
Avenue in silk null made over yellow.
Not that lovely shade suggestive of
waving corn and setting suns, but deep,
dark ycllowy yellow, popular for small
pox flags. Cart loads of gilt lace and
gold buttons on the waist, and for head
piece white chip with nest of canaries
on the left side. Another costume which
would have astonished the natives, if the
spring styles had left any establishment
in their anatomy, was sage green diego
nal cloth. The wide circular skirt was
ruffled to the waist and the ruffles we're
lined with red. A blouse of red was the
waist, and cape of three sections the
finale. When the gentle zephyrs land
equinoctlal breezes are not notably wild J
toyed with.these graceful outlines, the
effect vas calculated to drive the meekest
bovine mad with rage.

Society has closed its doors in Gotham,
and for the next three months will be at
home, in Newport, Bar Harbor and
springs too many to enumerate. Every
body is going away, or has gone. Our
enterprising merchants are aware of this
fact, for shop windows are filled with
natty travelling suits. Serge is la mode.
In blue, gray or olive it is the perfection
of taste. Shirts are mostly plain, al
though some modiste's houses display
three bias folds about seven inches apart.
A dark silk blouse and an Eton jacket
complete the outfit. A jaupty hat is OF
Milan straw, turban shaped; clusters Of
autumn leaves and loops of velvet form
a pretty trimming. A sailor is suitable,
if becoming, but few women can wear a
sailor. They are more trimmed than last
season, ribbon and fowers- are popular
and sometimes lace is used.
Travelling dresses suggest other con-
ditions necessary to this state. 1t takes
large amount of experience to teach US
what to take and what to omit on jour
ney. I won't be sarcastic and say, "don't
take bird cage, a lap dog, flower pot
or band box" but I will say most en-
phatically, "don't carry bundles" It
offends the porter, and to be in his good
graces is the quint essence Of good travel
ing. Have medium sized valise, and
pack it carefully. 1t is embarrassing to
the spectators if you are obliged to dis

AFTER THE CRIMINALS.
Defendants in Three Murder Cases
Before the District Court.

In the district court last night Messrs.
N. B. Laughlin and H. L. Ortiz presented
arguments as to the propriety of admit
ing Juan Gonzales and Ambrosio Madril
to bail for tho murder of Severiano Pena
at Galisteo last winter. The court this
morning admitted them TO bail in the
sum of $1,000 each, and the friends of the
defendants are now trying to furnish the
required bonds.
Desiderio Gallegos, Elnterio Padilla
and Emiterio Garcia, charged with ston-
ing to death young Marcellno Vigil, have
also been admitted to bail in the sum of
$4,000 each, but it is doubtless if they will
be able to supply the bonds.
The court then proceeded with the Or
tega woman murder case for which Luz
ciano Romero and Valentin Medrano are
held, they being tried separately from
Ortega. The jury was completed about
IL O'Clock rs follows: Bias Trujillo,
Felix Vigil, Benedicto Montoya, Jose En-
carnacion Quintana, Paz Lujan, Floren-
clio Duran, Agapito Lucero, Pedro Jime.
neg, Cosme Roibal Leandro Rivera, Jose
Maria de Aguero and Macario Lopez.
Ortega was released from Jail on furn-
fishing $4,000 bonds.
II is expected by the prosecution to
prove that the woman was choked to
death in an attempt to ravish her. The
case will probably occupy some time,
as about twenty witnesses have been
called. ~.
This case was this afternoon laid aside
by consent of counsel in order that the
court might take up the case of ex-Sheriff
Lockhart, of Grant county, suit involving
the alleged illegal collection of some
$4,000 in taxes, brought here on change
of venue.
Another indictment was found against
F. Gonzales y Borrego this afternoon for
the murder of Sylyestre Gallegos, and his
bond was fixed by the court at $1,000.

8Horld,s rair BOX parties..

Nearly every train thatgoes out of this
city for Chicago has several 'box par
ties" on board. These are entirely diff
ferent from the box parties at theaters,
but have been christened by the train
hands with the same name. They are
little groups of people bent on taking an
economical glimpse of the great exposi-
tion. and who, in order to cut down their
expenses to the lowest notch, have had
packed at home boxes of luncheon of suf-
ficient magnitude to last during the trip.
At each meal hour the members of the
box parties draw these boxes from under
the seat or sit in groups with their
luncheon on their knees and chat as con-
tentedly as if they were at q gorgeously
appointed hotel. Sometimes an exchange
is effected of boiled egg for a tomato or
bit of fruit for some ham, and the fell
low who has had the eforethought to bring
few bottles of beer is a prime favorite
with the other passeng gers. Philadelphia

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

Documents of the First Fourteen Con-
crosses Found In the Senate Basement.
The former assistant librarian Of the
senate, Mr.. E. 7. Cressey, has made a
most important discovery among the 40,-
900 volumes, supposed to be useless,
which have been accommodating for years
in the basement of the senate wing of
the capitol. After o search Of months
he has found 70 volumes, hitherto sup
posed not to be in existence, which COM
prise the senate documents Of the first 13
congresses and the house documents of
the first nine. The Congressional library,
the Boston public library and the British
museum are all without these, and the
addition of them to the senate library
makes it the most valuable in the world
forreferences of the proceedings, debates
and documents Of congress.
Almost from the adoption of the con-
stitution all documents Of the senate
and the house have been set aside in
small numbers for the secretary Of the
senate. These were kept in bad order,
if kept at all, and were scattered in vari-
ous places. Just after tho war, how
ever, they were all collected into the
senate library, which occupies num-
Der of almost impenetrable recesses in
the upper part of the senate wing and
also an equal number of still more diff
cult hooks and corners in the basement
near the heating machinery. This last
iwas dry and safe place, but hardly any
Body ever ventured within its doors.
The 10000 volumes accumulated there
were all supposed to be extra ones. Mr..
Cressey's discovery shows that they con-
tain perhaps the richest single treasure
in the country.
The volumes are in good state of
preservation, although they and many
others stacked in this unexplored retreat
show traces Of the worms. Many of the
backs indeed are entirely gone, but the
pages are intact, and the senate library
may now boast that it has for reference
complete documents of the senate and
the house, all except those of the senate
Of the Second congress.
A few of the 70 volumes are bound in
manuscript. just as they came from the
authors, and some Of them, as it is be-
heved, have never been printed. Dur
ing the first IA congresses none of the
documents was numbered, nor was their
character indicated by marks. Thus
each must carefully be examined to as
certain whether it is an executive or
miscellaneous document Or committee
report.
