BEGINNING OF THE TRIAL.

The Commission appointed to try the
charges gains the Boar Of Managers
OF the Elmira Reformitory held It's tirst
meeting at Elmira yesterday.
This Inquiry was conceded by Gov.
Flower mainly because the managers,
who mad alreadv been found guilty of
official misconduct by the State Board Of
Cha. tiles after a long and patient inves-
tigation, made oath before the Governor
that the inquiry OF the Charities Board
had been prejudiced and partial. that the
evidence did not sustain the conclusions
reached and that the verdict was Illegal.
untrue and unjust. This at least was one
Of the excuses made by Gov. Flower for
yielding to the demand OF the political
bosses for the protection OF the managers.
Yesterday Mr.. Coudert drew out from
the managers the fact hat they had
never read the evidence or the report In
the State Charities investigation and had
only sworn to Its %illegality. Its untruth-
fulness and Its injustice under the advice
Of their Counsel. 1t was also elected that
the suspension of Brock way during the
trst trial had been a mere sham.
1t IL evident that Lawyer Coudert Is
earnest In his management OF the prose
cution. and 1t Is to be hoped that the
new trial will be short, sharp and decis-
I've. The cause of humanity demands
that the attempt to screen the Elmira
torturers shall be defeated and that the
abhorreat reign OF terror at the Reforma-
tory shall be ended foreVsr.

Flower ~Lunchcons.

II Is becoming quite the thing at
smart ~luncheons and dinners to arrange
a centre board, surrounded by individ-

clover leaves, and each adorned with a
differently colored flower. Before going

scented with blooms similar to those
upon the tables which they are to grace.
Glover %uncheon are more popular this
Spring than last. At pink and white
functions the pretty field flowers figure
largely. They are made up into great
punches, carelessly grouped, and are
turned into noss-edged bowls, set about
on mirrors, that give the effect of tiny
lakes dotted upon the delicate table

AN INVESTIGATION DEMANDED.

The Lexow Committee has now an on
portunity to investigate a matter not in
GUIDED In Its police programme, but OF
very grave Importance. and which II
promptly and vigorously exposed ma
prevent the contamination of an infam.
Gus crime.

tor Coggeshall. of Oneida. II was OBJ

members OF the Board OF Estimate and
Apportionment. Protests were submitted
against 1t by the Cha mber Of Commerce.
the Good Government Clubs and the tax
ayers generally. But the Republican
majority and the Tammany representa-.
tives stood by Senator Cogeshall. The
bill was passed and was approved by
Gov. Flower.
The merits OF the Law are not now in
question. But 1t Is known that the paes-
age OF the bill was secured by the use
and promise Of money. 1t liz alleged
that about forty thousand dollars in
cash was sent to Albany when the bin

not contradicted that an additional
eighty or eighty-fve thousand dollars Is
to be raised by an assessment on the
force OF twenty-five dollars zach man.

4 Lonf of bread Weighed.

To the Editor:
After reading the letter OF "A. z. L." who
signs himself "One who knows the bakers trade
! dropped in a large store where they keep all
kinds OF bread. asked the proprietor II he
would weigh " Gve-cent loaf Of bread. He did 80,
and II weighed Is ounces. lie also told me that
he had often weighed bread. and he told me II
was nearly always a little short OF a pound.
Now. the readers Of THE Evening World can
easily see who knows most about the weight OF
a hNe-cent loaf Nv weighing a few. The people
are charged Ave cents a pound for bread simply
because they have got used to that figure. It is
not right that the public does not have tho ben
eft OF the low wholesale price OF flour. And even
at the extravagant prices the bakers do not mako
their bread to weigh full weight. There can be
no argument about this, All any one has to do
Ia to weigh a hve-cent loaf. XX.,
one who does not know the bakers trade. but
knows he has TO "ny h,c rents for a pound loaf
OF bread and eight CENTS for a l ~s-4-pound loaf.

Etiquette Of the Hand.

A lady never extends her hand to a
man whose acquaintance she Is making.
She may or may not shake hands with
a lady who is introduced. but she must
not give her hand to a strange man.
A low bow Is the elegant form of salu-
tation. A cultivated woman will not
shake hands with ny man, no matter
how long she Is acquainted with him,
unless she respects and admlres him. A
gentleman never extends his hand to a
lady first. TO do so would be presump-
tuous AND subject him to a ~snubbing.
A man shows his breeding the way he
eats his dinner: a woman shows her
