The restoration of the ex-Queen by

constitutional limits of Executive au-

not engage in the business of setting

to be toppled over. The President

st. Johnsbury, Nov. 27.-The ar
rest of L. G. Brewer of New York,
vice president and protector of the
new state bank of Barton, is the be-
ginning of sensation in this region.
About month ago States Attorney
Miles of Barton was notified by Brew
er that bank would be established,
and he was asked to arrange for hir-
ing quarters. This he did. Several
different times notice was given of
opening for business, but the open
ing did not come until last week. A
cashier was engaged. The president,
Joseph A. Lord, was reported sick
in New York, which fact, it was said,
had delayed the opening of the bank.
Meanwhile some business had been
done, but the bank haNng no funds,
its paper went to protest. Mr., Brew
er was arrested on the charge of pro-
curing certified checks under false
representations and opening the bank
fraudulently. Bail was fixed at
$500, which he furnished.
There were 800 shares of stock, of
which Brewer held Ats and the re-
mainder was divided between Charles
A. Brewer and j. j. O'Farvelly,
Burlington, and Joseph A. Lord and
Thomas j. Brewer of Rutland, none
of whom is known to exist. Brewer
is the head man in the American In
vestment company of New York.
Thomas j. Boynton of Montpel-
ier, VT, has been appointed postof-
flee Inspector in charge at Boston,
Mass, to succeed George S. Evans.
The division embraces the New Eng
land states. Mr.. Boynton occupied
the position under the formes Cleve-
land administration, but resigned ear
" in Mr.. Harrlson's term. He was
indorsed for the place by leading
members Of the party throughout
New England. He is at present
chairman of the Vermont state Dem
ocratic committee.

TOilettes fOrlLadIes.

K For stylish evening costumes the silks
of the present season have never been
surpassed In fanciful variety. The In
terweaving of two or more colors pre-
dominates in these tissues and produces
novel and original effects In blending
shades, which are still enhanced by the
glistening moire surface that is given to
many of them. Among other novelties
the broche moires are particularly attract
i've, having delicate broche figures of one
color standing out against the watered
ground of contrasting color. A rich
brocade for reception gowns is called
"damas camaieu." This material has rep
ped ground in some solid color with'a de-
sign in satin of the same color shot with
white. The painted bengalines are eve
ming silks with light grounds, having
printed Pompadour bouquets which look
as If painted in water colors. They are
often combined with a new velours
peluche. These items, as well as many
others equally attractive, are to be found
in the Mcdowell Fashion Magazines just
received. The latest numbers of these
artistic publications maintain still their
high standard of excellence, which makes
them of inestimable value to all devotees
of fashion, and easily accounts for the
wide spread admiration they secured at
fha WnrlI,u Eair A M In
ment has been introduced in them in the
shape of pattern coupons, by which one
can secure many novelties at moderate
prices, 'sLa Mode de Paris" and "Album
of Fashion" only cost $3.50 IA year each,
or 30 cents copy. "The French Dress
maker" is So 100 per annum, or 30 cents
copy, while ''La Mode" the home fashion
magazine above all, comes at the very
moderate price of Sl.50 year, or 10
cents copy. If you are unable to pro-
duce any of these publications at your
newsdealer do not take any substitute
from him, but apply by mail to Messrs
A. Mcdowell & Co., West 18th Street

Powderly resigned his position as
general master workman of the
Knights of Labor Saturday after
noon. He was unable to keep the
delegates in the line he had marked
out for them, and this decisive move
seemed to be the only one left for
him to adopt.
Immediately after his resignation
was offered he left the hall, as he
said, to attend to some personal bus
mess.
The delegates refused to accept the
committeeman appointed by Mr..
Powderly and they presented another
list. Mr.. Powderly would not ac-
cept the committeeman the delegates
had elected. He declared their cleo
ton Illegal. Then the climax came.
The defeated leader spoke with re-
markable clearness as he said -
"Gentlemen, you must either obey
the spirit of the constitution or de-
clare the Office of general master
workmen vacant. | now tender you
my resignation"
While the outcome of Powderly's
resignation is still IN doubt, some
talk as to his probable successor is
being made. Sovereign of Iowa and
Mcclure of New York are those most
prominent named, with the form
somewhat in the lead.

of its dominating influence over the

easy one. With mills shut down
