SAVINGS BANKS FOR STAMPS
To he Introduced Into the Boston Public
schools Very shortly


1t is proposed To introduce ssStamp
savings banks" in the Boston public
schools. From various offices coIored
stamps of sixdenomiuationS and stamp
cards will be obtained To each per
son wishing TO become depositor the
local treasurer gives him stamp card
and sells him as many stamps as he has
money for. These stamps must be
pasted on the card. The card. when
full, will probably contain about five
dollars.
As soon as the child has stamps for
that sum the money is taken and de-
posted for him in some savings bank
that he may designate The five dol
lars once deposited he begins apain.
and the small sum grows to a LARGER
one under his hands If he wishes To
withdraw he presents his card and
draws all that is on il. Then if he has
more money than he cares to use he
calls for another card and redeposits
the balance.
by this method all bookkeeping is
avoided, the child always knows lust
how much he has, and the local treas
urer can tell in the saIhe manner. If
the child loses the card. however. he
loses his money, or, rather, all that he
carried on that card.

with even shade OF doubt as 10 his
honest selection and legal election. II
cannot be denied that outside Of pO-
litical circles some good. honest men.
friends Of Mr. Martin and friends OF
General Lee. think that everything was
Tot done fair and square In the caucus
held In the Capitol a few nights ago
when MIR. Martin WAS selected to be our
next senator.
The Democratic party have entire con-
trol OF the State, and should act wisely
in everything pertaining TO the action Of
the party, so that We can hold control
for years to come. We suggest that the
action Of the Democratic caucus be set
aside. and that the election Of a senator
be made In open session. when a fair
and honest count can be made, and the
person receiving the vote Of the Joint
bodies. be II Martin, Lee. Goode. McKin-
ney, or Hunton, can 90 TO the Senate
and take his seat as one OF the Virginia
senators without any cloud resting on
his good name. This plan can be carried
out, and l hope Mr.. Martin and General
Lee will ask such action at the hands
Of the General Assembly Of Virginia.

Heavy materials are most in vogue for
reception dresses. There is a rich ele-
gance about velvet and brocade for which
no amount Of daintiress can compensate.
Velvet is much used. but for dancing
satin is preferred There is no limit to
the designers ingenuity in the matter
Of hrocades. The larger the designs the
better. We see perfect monsters or
leaves and flowers. one young woman
seemed determined TO make summer
81 docks Of swallows could accomplish
it, for her dress was nearly covered
with these birds on the wing.
Notwithstanding this preference for
heavy materials. they never constitute
the entire gown. II velvet is used, It
forms sleeves and train Brocade Is
sometimes combined with velvet, and
sometimes forms the body OF the gown.
But these stiff materials are always re-
leved at the neck and down the front
with some soft material. such as lace,
crepe de Chine. or silk muslin.
The dress illustrated is made OF a soft,
but heavy silk with a sheen. called peau
De sole This is a beautiful material and
comes I'm changeable hues Of all descrip-
tions. II is cut princess, and is not so
low I'm the neck as most evening dresses.
II partakes Of the low shoulder effects,
however. for instead Of having the
sleeves sewed in. &c Is left loose at the
ton showing a triangular bit OF arm
which is very effective.

above and below with a ribbon ruche.
The pointed effect Of this ruche gives
that broad appearance across the should
ers which IS so much sought after just
now. The sleeve puffs are Of crepe de
Chine. trimmed with the ribbon ruche.
Panels OF crepe de Chine on each side
Of the skirt are bordered and crossed by
bands Of ruching. and similar ruche
trims the bottom OF the skirt.

WHAT EVERYBODY Is SAYING.

WHAT EVERYBODY Is SAYING.
The letter which we published yesterday
s'gned Fair Play and Justice is from
the pen Of one OF the best-bnown citi-
zens Of Virginia. In demanding Of the
Legislature that it Investigate the charges
Of iuproIer influences 10 secure the cleo
ton Of Urited States senator, the writer
IS doing no more than what ninety-nins
Virginians in every hundred are likewi Sc
doing. The subject is one which is upp' r.
most in every persons mind. and, outs lde
of the Legislature, It is hardly posi- bic
10 find any one who knows anything ab out
the subject. who does not say that is
the Legislatures duty 10 investigate the
matter and to suspend the election OF
Senator until the investigation IS made
We would remind members Of the solemn
duty they owe TO the people Of Virginia.
and simply express our belief when we
say that every member Of it who fails
10 demand and press for an INVESTIGATION
OF this matter before the election Of
senator takes place will be held by the
the general belief amongst the people
that their rights are being bartered away,
and we would not give any representa-
tive a copper for his chance Of future
confidence at the hands of the people,
who does not insist with all his earnest
ness and power that an investigation
shall be had and that the election of
senator shall be suspended until the in
yestigation is held.
Fair Play and Justice" also expresses
an universal sentiment and opinion when
he says that Mr. Martin himself should
take the lead in asking for and causing
AN investigation 10 be made. 1t is inc o.
possible to understand the principle upo n
which he fails TO do this. 1t is the first
time in the history of this State when
such thing ever happened. Nlyginian
about TO be honored with the positi on
OF United States senator should dems nd
instantly and dehanuy the fullest in
vestigation OF any matter whatever that
touched his integrity and character. II is
impossible 10 conceive OF Hunton. Daniel.
Withers. Johnston. or any OF our ante
war senators. consenting to such a thing
They would have scorned the prefer Of
the place If il came shaded with any
sort OF suspicion resting upon them. IT
will be the scandal Of the age II the
Legislature refuses 20 investigate this
matter. and TO suspend the election Of
senator until the investigation is made.

THEY DID NOT GET THERE.
The Unexpected Result Of a Contest BE
tween Two Legislators.

tween Two Legislators.
It is fact well known among a large
number OF members of the General As
sembly that there are two members OF
the House Of Delegates who are contend
ing for the banner suggested for the
earliest legislative riser. The two mem
bers Of the House who have vanqulshed
the other members OF the lower branch
Of the General Assembly in the early MS
ing race are Delegate a. f. Withrow, Of
Bath. and Delegate r. !. Anderson, Of
Pittsylvania.
They are stopping at the Exchange Ho-
tel, and it appears that the contest for
the banner referred 10 is exceedingly
close between these two prominent leg
islators Each one is the owner Of a large
and fertile farm, and their devotion to
the cause OF agriculture prompts both to
rise with the sun when on their native
heath.
Yesterday morning was the time fixed
for the delegate from Bath and the dele
gate from Pittsylvania TO bring their con-
test TO a close. Each arose earlier than
usual, hurried down 20 the rotunda Of the
hotel, expecting to get there first and
claim the banner.
Lo! and behold, when the genial and
always good-natured delegate from the
big county of Pittsylvania entered the
rotunda from one side OF the hotel, the
manly form and splendid physique OF the
able and efficient representative from
the little county Of Bath walked IN from
the opposite door
1t was a tie, and while they were good
naturedly. but holly, contending for the
banner. they saw In the middle Of the
lobby the handsome face and graceful
figure OF that splendid lawyer and mag
niflcent Virginia gentleman who for years
has had the honor of representing the
good old county Of Amherst In the Senate
of Virginia, Senator Taylor Berry, for
he IL was, who was walking about the
rotunda- Smoke curled In graceful
wreaths from n nobby pine, which repre-
scented some OF tho luXuriant weed grown
in the broad fields OF Amherst or in the
rich bottoms along Pedler river.
The architectural contours Of that pipe.
which was whitfield with a senatorial
hnife-a gift OF Or. J. y. Pendleton-
from a piece Of swamp dogwood or from
a specimen of forestry known as sassafras,
showed magnificent carving.
The appearance Of Senator Berry put
a stop TO the colloquy between the dele
gate from Bath and the delegate from
Pittsylvana. Both Of these worthy dele
gates threw up the sponge. and gracefully
yielded the hammer to the honored senator
from Amherst. who. In addition 10 win
ming the title az the earliest riser. IS
known to be always prompt at committee
meetings, and can always be seen in his
seat when the Senate is in session.
The interesting feature Of the contest
was the greeting the senator from Am
herst gave TO the delegate from Bath
and the delegate from Pittsylvania: Good
morning, gentlemen" Senator Berry Is
quoted as saving. II never smoke until
after breakfast"
