NEW Fad OF SOCIETY GIRLS.

The young society bellies have new fad.
To hear about it viii enlighten not a few Of
the young men who have been mystifed
since the fall began over the de-
polling of their new hats. The fad
is to take the little bow that fastens
the lining of mans hat, and wear it there
after hieden in their shoe. By some subtle
influence, the superstition is that, without
fail they will have an offer of
marriage from the young man in
question within month. 1t must be
taken without the young mans knowledge
or the charm will not work, and the ladies
are resorting to all sorts of subtertuges to
obtain the bows.

THE ECCENTRIC LADY FLORENCE

Lady Florence Dixie, who is credited with
the intention of starting new woman's paper
in England, is sister of the Marquis of
Queensberrry, and one of the most versatile
women of the day. While yet a girl she had
excited the enthusiastic admiration of the
''shires,n where riding is carried to fine
art, by her straight and intrepid going, and
in the saddle she has journeyed over the best
part of Europe, has explored the wilds of
Patagonia and went through the Boer cam
paifin early in the eighties as Especial" for
the 'dMogning Post. She has written novel,
is somewhat of poetess and has appeared
on the platform to plead for ''the rights"
Of her sex Furthermore, she has a de-
voted husband and delightful home-the
fishery, at Windsor and two handsome boys.
Yet one thing more; she has strange power
over animals of all sorts, has broken in the
most fiery of steeds and has made domestic
pets of jaguar and even tiger.-Toronto

WHAT HE SENDS TO HIS BEST GIRL

The up-to-date young man now sends to
his best girl two or three long-stemmed ''se-
lectedv roses, as perfect of their kind as can
be procured, and from the smartest shop in
town, or a bunch of Roman hyacinths or
fragrant violets, rather than profusion of
different blooms; and if he wishes to be
specially impressive he may send a single
stately American Beauty in tall, slender
vase of Austrian glass, and it will not be con-
sidered in the catalogue of gifts any more
than the bon6onniere which conveys the
crystallized rose-leaves and violets. A box
of candy, you know, does not conflict with
the conventionalities regarding gifts, even
though the box be of Dresden china or silver.

Robert Elliott of the Gas Company this
morning. 1t appears that the city's gas
and electric light bills for the month
of December, amounted in round numbers to
$4,000. At that rate the appropriation for
the year would be exceeded about $4,000.
The Mayor deeming it advisable to check an
apparent waste of money, called halt
Mr.. Elliott explained that during the past
year the number of gas and electric lights
has been increased, and further, that dur
ing the winter more gas is used than in the
summer The commissioners satisfied the
Mayor before leaving the appropriation
would not be exceeded. The Commissioners
are taking no more chances of being ar
raigned on charges which would result in
their removal

NEWARK, Jan. 25, 1s94-One of party of
three tramps shot a police officer in Elizabeth
at about three o'clock this morning The
tramps then came to this city. When they
reached here they made murderous assault
on two Newark police officers, who had been
sent out to intercept them. One of the
officers was shot in the left arm and another
bullet went through his hat going so close to
his head as to cut off some of his hair.
The story received from Elizabeth in re-
gard to the matter is that an officer having a
beat in the northern part of the town met
three tramps on lonely part of the road.
As it is the custom in Elizabeth to stop all
suspicious characters, the officer halted the
men and asked them where they were going
and what they had in their pockets, which
were bullying out. For answer one of
the tramps drew a revolver and shot
the officer in the mouth, infiicting a
dangerous wound. The shot attracted other
officers to the spot who took the wounded
mad to Police Headquarters. The tramps
fed Immediately after the shooting and
word was sent to this city to intercept them,
with the above result
The three tramps escaped from the police
here, but as the officers have description of
them, there are strong hopes of their being
captured.
