The Name or Californfa.

From the Sau Francisco Chronicle
 Thomas E. Slevin, LL- D., delivered an unusually interesting lecture on the "Ori- gin Of the Name California" bsfore the ge- ogrsph.csl Society of the Pacific st Union Square hall Mir SltvIu first proceeded to explain the various alleged origins of the word California. These he divided into three classes, the most plausible of which was the supposition that the name was derived from 6 misunderstanding of some word used by the natives when first addressed by CorteL or one of his follow ers. This was satisfactorily explained away and the speaker then told in pleas- ant manner what he conceived to be the only legitimate conclusion to bs drawn from the various explanations of the ori- gin of our states name.
 The word California was fret used in a word on Spanish ohivAlry published In l5i0. This work was an alleged history of the adventures of "Amsdis of Gsul and hIs son EsplsndiAm." IL was of great length and divided into a large number of short stories, one of which was ihe manner in which "Cslias, the queen of the i.land of California, a country inhsbi- ted only by women, who lived As Amsrons and had gold without end saved Constsn- tinople from an attack by the PersiAas. This story, ss well others, was widely read by the people of Spain. and by many regarded as fact. Among the stsnch be- lievsrs were ths members of the OoTteZ ex petition, who. upon landing upon the pc ninsuls of Lover California, imagined they were on an island, which, owing to Its apparent riches, they named after the fsbled isls, and CortsZ himself called the new country California"

 A new way of giving modishness to s sleeve that, though enormous when first msde, seems small, now is to slit the puff on the under side of the arm, face the un- der aide of the slit edg-s with silk of 6 contrasting color and set couple of soft pufs on an under sleeve over which the old puffs open. The effect is very graceful as the under pufs are of a color to match the facing of the outer puffs.

HOW IT SEEmS NOW

The esteemed and non-partisan Register continues to print curious paragraphs in the form of telegrsphic dispatches dsted at Washington and purportin9 to give in formation concerning the postmastership at New Haven. These paragraphs are de. voted to carefully explaining how impos- sible 1t is that anybody but Democrat can be postmaster at New Haven. For in- stance, Eat the office of the postmaster general 1t seem to be the general opinion that MT. Sperry will be removed as soon as the case Is taken up for consideration. MT. Pigott has no doubt that this will be done, and 1t seems to be generally under stood at the postofice department that the postmaster general will throw the weight Of his influence in securing the appoint so on.
 Awhile ago 1t "seemed to be the general opinion" in similar curious paragraphs dated at Washington and printed in the Register that Mir. Sperry's case had been taken up for consideration and that the postmaster general had thrown 'the weight of his influence in securing the appointment of a Democrat" Now it seems that the ease hasn,t been taken mp for consi iteration and that the postmaster general is only just preparing to throw his weight. If this is true it Is to be hoped that when the case is really taken up for consideration the weight of public opinion contained in the remarkable peti- ton which has been sent to Washington by those who want MT. sperry to continue the good work he is doing in the New Ha- ven postofice will not be thrown carsless'y aside. The authorities at Washington should understand that that petition is not perfunotory one. They should understand that its signers in- clude many of the most weighty members of both parties in New Haven. They should understand that 1t correctly and heartily represents public opinion here. That opinion Is that it Is better for the business and other interests of New Haven that tue beat postmaster in the country should not bs displaced by man whose chief qualification for experimenting the great and growing postal business of New Haven is that he Is Democrat. People
 here don't want a change. They had one few years ago and they then real
 ized that a good Democrat might moi
 be a good postmaster. They don't
 care anything about Mr. Sperry',
 politics. They do appreciate hii
 splendid services in their behalf and they don't want to lose them. If the weight o
 public opinion in New Haven is going tt
 count in deciding the matter at Washing
 ton there is no question sbout what th' decision will be.
 We hope coon to read In the Registe that 1t seems to be understood that MT | Sperry Is not to bs removed and that
 seems to be understood that the postmas
 ter general will not throw the weight O
 his influence in favor of his removal, bu
 will let the weight of public opinion her have the effect 1t should have.

 The "sterner sex," SO called, have @ deep rooted conviction that women are continually changing tbs fashion of their apparel, that "the old order chsngeth, ,giv- ing plscs to new," frequently and inevit- ably.
 But this is not exactly true. They have always worn drspery, the manner of mak- ing which has varied in details but not in essentials; the shape, the width, the orns- mentation, have devisted from age to age, or from season to season, but the funda- mental idea, that of skirt and waist, have been the same, as may be proved by 8 study of pictures of women's dress from the times of the pyramid builders until now. A skirt and waist, or bodice. will probably always be the ordinary and uni verssl dress of women, but. 90 far, the most radical changes in clothing have been made by men, as 6 study of the same pictures or books of costumes will demon strate.

From the skin of an animal to the tunic and tight was not a leap, but slow progression, with much psusing by the way for tentative efforts at improve. ment. From knee brooches to the elong atsd cylinders now worn was Q shorter step, and, possibly, now that the "spear. half" of the human family has succeeded in encasing himself in cylinders, he will cease to experiment. His hat, his coat his sleeves, his trousers, all are modelled upon the cylinder. The stovepipe contour seems to be his ideal of beauty combined with utility.
 The changes women make are merel, freaks and fanoiss in shape and decoration and, whatever they are. they do not dis turb the fundamental scheme of dress: the, can go back to the times of any Louis, [.

THK NOLLE POWER,

The hearing in the Court of Common Pleas yesterday afternoon and evening was very interesting. How practically important it was remains to te seen. It was made plain that the court had right to change its rules and customs. It was also made plain that the chief objection to the use of the nolle az it has prevailed is that it does not make such g record of con- viction in some cases as the petitioners think should be mads. To this objection 1t is replied with some force that trials might not bring convictions and that much money Is saved to the State by settling cases in the way they have been eettled. Against this it Is urged that settlement should not be allowed without @ plea of guilty and Q record of conviction and that the State of Connecticut shouldn't dicker with law-breakers.
 The nolle power has certainly been used with money profit to the State. It Is probable that by its use some have escaped a record of conviction who deserved such . record. The, difficulty is to mako a general rule or any rule that will not make useless expense and that will give record to people who ought to have 1t. We do not know whether the judges would do any better in these matters than prosscut- ing attorneys have done, though there is something to be said in favor of more publicity in dealing with thsm.

BEER ENDOWMENT INsURANol

BEER ENDOWMENT INSURANCE.
 It takes a FIenchman to do things ap propriately. The other day MT. Pousset of Paris died. He had been the proprietor of several beer halls and he had made 8 good deal of money out of them. Know ing that he couldn't take the proceeds of his industry and ingenuity with him, he thought he would dispose of a part of them in a way that would indicate his ap- preciation of that which had made him rich. So he left over $20O .O0O to be d. vided between twelve old and faithful beer-drinkers who had been his patrons from tine start to the finish of his beery career.
 Gratitude is said to be the frostiest emo- tion of the human heart, but when 1t ex- presses itself in money it is not go very chilly. The beer drinkers remembered by MT. Pousset feel that 1t has been misrepre- sented, and that it is what 1t ought to be. They were loyal to MT. Pousset's beer. He was properly grateful. They also feel that they have made fair investment. They have enjoyed their beer, and in enjoying it have laid up for themselves treasures on earth. The whole affair is not very good temperance lecture, though it is not prob able that there are enough Poussets to make it anything but glaripg exception to the rule. which Ia that people who in- vest in beer by the mug don't draw any money dividend from their investment. Probably Pousset's example will not be widely initiated. Most beer sellers who
 make fortunes are not practically grateful to those out of whom they are made. Per
 hsps 1t is just ss we'll that they are not
 If it were known that beer sellers generally
 would divide their money among theil

 and that kind of endowment insuranc

 sellers would have more to divide, an,

Trimming Pushed Aside.

Side trimming rsges on small hats and will hold on such all through the summer. Little toques hatly trimmed everywhere else have a rampant cocks feather at each side. About the only possible variation left now that they have been trimmed be- hind, in front, on one side and on both sides, is to have the trimming all inside. Then women would have to wear their hats inside out, and so it would amount to the same thin. The round hat of this picture Is mad of tobacco brown felt, with one side of the brim turned up and the other fastened to the low crown with a ! velvet rosette. The brim Is very narrow

 It Is unreasonable and ungracious for brother Man to rail at sister Woman for fickleness in dress, since he himself has been changeable and experimentive from the time of the expulsion from Eden until now.

 Taking up one of the great dailies the eye notes with amusement that the new frock. coat masculine is to have a long, widely fsring skirt that will swing very jsuntily with half furled umbrella effect. The cylinder is still seen in collar and stock, in the close trousers and the bell crowned hat, but the coat skirt approsches more nearly to the cone shape.
