LADIES' COLUMN.
FASHION NOTES.

The so-called tailor suit is still in
high favor for travelling and morning
wear, coat tailed basques are best
suited to a plain style of dress, and
the many gored skirts are preferred
to accompany them, being more Sc
we're than those that are gathered at
the belt.
The fulness of many skirts begins at
the knees and hair cloth is used to
produce the faring effect at the bot
tom. Some skirts are lined through
out with crinoline or hair cloth, but
they are too heavy and stiff to be
pretty Nine gored skirts are trimmed
up the seams with beaded galloon.
One of the best accepted skirt pat
terms is cut in two parts, the top mar
row and the bottom faring. The seam
joining these two parts is concealed
by trimming. This style is about the
only one by which a sheath skirt of
past seasons may be remodeled. Raise
the sheath to the knee and refit it and
add the lower portion, and the skirt
will be fashionable once more.
Narrow milliner's folds of gros grain
satin Or Bengaline are fashionably ap-
piled upon the seams of skirts, bod
ices and Jackets, and three, five or
seven folds in a broader width arrang-
ed horizontally and widely spaced
form smart skirt decoration.
Ravelled bias silk ruchings are again
used on silk and wooden skirts, on
sleeves at the wrists and elbows, and
at the neck and closing edges of shirt
waists and bodices. The ruches are
not always of the same color as the
dress.
The outdoor dress skirt now escapes
the ground. Even for receptions only
4 short train, from three to five inch
IS longer than the front, is allowed.
Bridal toilettes, and the most elaborate
costume alone have full length trains.

Anything" said a worldly matron
to group of friends, ''under the sun
but woman who sulks. A good, hon
est fit of anger, with burst of heart
sunshine to clear away the storm
clouds is generally effective. The
man, as rule, likes the fair one all
the better for outspoken sentiments
that are free from haunting meanness,
but what he can not tolerate is the
consciousness that the little passage
alarms is going to be followed by a
finishing off process which ends in
sulky resentment. This sort of thing
is so rasping."

MILITIA AND POLITICS.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, March 30-Governor
Altgeld has been charged with prostituting
the militia of the state of Illinois to polit-
ical purposes. This grave charge is made
BIZ Brigadier General William CleEdennin,
commanding the Third brigade, one of the
Oldest militia officers of the state. The
charge comes from recent request of
Governor Altgeld's for General Cienden
Minis resignation,i in order that the position
might be bestowed on one of the gov
ernor's poiitical partisans. General
Charles Fitzsimmons, commanding the
first brigade, resigned last week on request
of the governor.
General Clendennin vigorously arraigus
Governor Altgeld for attempting to make
the Illinois national guard political ma
chine, and denounces him for degrading
the militia to partisan purposes. Governor
Altgeld and the state of Illinois are, be in
sinuates. the first governor and the first
state to furnish the humiliating spectacle
of positions of military rank. calling for
skill and tactical experience, being be-
slowed upon civilians as rewards to ward
workers for political services.
Governor Altgeld and his friends are
smarting under the criticisms of General
Clendennin's letter, and, of course, the
result has been what General Cleudennin
ticipated-the prompt removal of the
speaking gentleman from his COM

CLEVELAND, O., March 30.-A fire broke
out in the Forest City Varnish company's
works at the Quincy street crossing Of the
Cleveland and Pittsburg tracks shortly
after noon today. The infammable ma
terials in tho building burned with such
rapidity that the escape of the employees
was attended with much difficulty. One
man failed to get out of the furnace into
which the interior Of the works was al
most converted, and perished in the
flames. The fire department responded
quickly when the alarm was turned In,
but, owing to the combustible materials
used in the building, the flames spread
rapidly, and several additional alarms
were turned in. An hour after the fire
started the flames were still beyond con-
troll of the department, and there was ex-
treme danger of a big confiagratiou. A
rumor at ! O'Clock D. m. was to the effect
that at least four of the Forest City Var
nish company's employees were missing,
and it was feared that they had been
burned to death. 1t is now believed that
only one life was lost-Charles Daubleman
of So Beaver street Norman Bergner was
blown through a window by the force OF
an explosion and came out with only
few bruises and burns. Soon after l
o'clock the fire was under control, but the
warehouse was totally destroyed. The
rest of the plant, however, was saved. The
loss is about $50, 000

The ANN ARROR STRIKE.

TOLEDO, o., March 30-The backbone of
the brotherhood is far from broken. Out
of the proposed boycott OF the Ann Arbor
read has grown serious question for the
Lake Shore road. As will be remembered,
eight OF its men struck rather than handle
Ann Arbor freight. The reinstatement of
these men is the question which was dis
cussed at special meeting of the brother
hood last night. The only reason they
quit was that the principles OF the Brother
hood might be maintained. The Lake
Shore had them arrested. and their fate
will become known next Monday. In the
meantime the brotherhood men have
thought il over, and have concluded that
10 matter what decision Judge Ricks shall
announce next Monday, they are justified
in demanding that their brothers oe given
their former positions. The result in the
case of = refusal was not considered, be-
use the men expect that there Will lie DO

LIVERPOOL. March 90-The officials of
the White Star Steamship company re-
gard as hoax the message found in a
bottle on the beach at Ocean View, Virgin
ia, and purporting to give an account of
the destruction at sea of the White Star
steamship Nsrouic, which sailed from
Liverpool on Feb II, for New York. The
officials state, as to the signature of "John
Olsen, cattlemsn," appended to the letter
in the bottle, that there was no person by
the name of Olsen on board the ship. They
also point out that it is improbable that q
bottle thrown from the Noronic, where the
Naronic would have been at the time OF
the accident described in the letter, would
have drifted against the Gulf stream to the
point where the bottle was found.
