THE VACANCY IN THE COUNCIL

Mr.. Suhrs resignation at this
time is unfortunate, but no more so
at this particular juncture than at
any time, as in addition to the
quiet dignifed course he has in
variably pursued as a Councilman
he represented a particularly val
liable and important portion Of the
business community. AS a Sc
quence Of Mr.. Glade's departure
from the country it adds to the
communitys loss by that event.
The responsibility for appointing
his successor is now upon the Gov
eminent, and at this juncture it
behooves the two Councils to make
a wise and fitting choice.
The situation is complicated and
it appears to us that there are two
equally desirable ends which may
be secured by this appointment
which can with difficulty be
reached by the choice of any one
individual. The life of the Advis-
DRY Council is now a short one, but
the very important work of framing
a new constitution is before it.
From this point of view it is desir-
able that the person chosen for this
appointment should be fitted by
education and experience for the
somewhat technical work on hand,
while it is equally important that the
recent friction in the party should
be still further allayed by a choice
of someone who will fairly repre-
sent the community.
A number Of names are already
being canvassed, and we trust that
the very best possible appointment
will be made. 1t is certainly the
duty Of the American Union Party
to make itself felt at this time and
its committees should as speedily as
possible secure the consideration of
some one who may satisfactorily
fulfill all the requirements Of the
occasion.

THE monarchist leaders still
whistle to keep up the courage OF
their political sans culottes. Their
latest bluff is another private letter,
this time alleged to come from a
very prominent and leading poll
tician in Washington" The letter
referred to hints at restoration
shortly, with the assurance that
the great majority Of the American
people endorse such a course. This
unique political document ends
with the hopeful statement, You
may hear at any moment now OF
something beneficial to the aborig-
ines Of the soil and your queen.

end comes, that they have misinter

they become uncomfortably warm, and are drawn closely about the neck. The end pieces, finished with heads and tails, are, of course, still worn.
 While chinchilla is the favorlte for trimming, seal and lamb are also worn, especially the fine bands of the latter. All of the fox varieties come in the boas --silver. blue, gray and few more.
 Nor are sable and mink by any means passe. They come in boas and collets and short capes The ermiue also holds its own without any diff1- culty, so far as the evening and car riage wraps are concerned.
 Muffs are small this year, and are in fur both inside and outside. The fur huff is plain; it is upon the velvet one, matching the hat and boa, that the elaborate trimmings are lavished.
 Fur plays so important part in all of the winters gayeties, both at home and abroad, that one wonders why there were not more animals created and why the skins of those that can be utilized are not easier to procure The fur bands are beautiful, alike with velvet, lace and chiffon, and satin bro- cades. Nothing is too light or too heavy for them to trim and enhance. Before we turn from the window let us look at a brown velvet cape, al- most lost to sight behind the ermine and seal that stand in front. It is a good three-quarters length, and it falls in plain, full folds. The upper cape has the trimming. This is also long enough reaching almost to the waist-falling in correspondingly full folds, and trimmed with soft, rich chinchilla. The velvet collar, which rolls upwards, and slants downward in short point at the back and longer points in front, is edged with chinchilla.
 From the outdoor garments you may turn indoors, and everywhere fur will meet your eyes. It trims street dress or evening dress with becoming im- partiality; 1t edges the delicate gauge bodice, or the heavy satin skirt. We find 1t in our bonnets and in our warm house slippers. No wonder we sigh and wish it weren't so expensive, or we weren't so poor.
 They say so, we all know; but you and I, dear reader. that have heard of so many seasons already, all of which have been crowded into the last two months, are beginning to be skeptica1 about few of them. Once in awhile, however, we meet fairy vision that makes our faith strong for awhile. un-

til another comes to take it's place. Such one I met the other day. Black2 Yes, she was, very black, indeed. Her skirt and bodice were quite plain, of rough, yet soft cheviot, and of the lat est cut, you may be sure. She wore a. short, full cape of black velvet, with the seams lightly outlined with jet. The light, graceful collar was all ca- bochons and pretty, fiat heads gleam- ing and sparkling with every move- ment It rolled back to disclose the collar of her gown-one in most deli cate green velvet, caught with pale gold crescent But think the hat was most dashing of all. It was nothing but simple black sailor, with low crown; but the crown was encircled with band made,of flat jet beads.

THE ENGLISH IDIOM.
Amusing Linguistic Experiences of
 French Visitor.

Amusing Linguistic Experiences of Q
 French Visitor.
 A recent French visitor in this coun- try was NJ. K, man too talented and too we'll known to permit of the use of his name in this connection; for this is to set forth some of the difficulties he experienced in the pursuit of the Eng fish idiom. Indefatigable in zeal, when literal translation failed him, he re- sorted to logic; and when this led him into error, as it inevitably did, he de- pended solely upon his memory, and would cften pause to search for a fit- ting phrase.
 He witnessed play that was suc- cess, and the players were called be- fore the curtain for applause. One actress in particular was applauded.
 ''Shc comes in for the lions share" said a friend to NJ. X.
 M. X. understood, and later attempt ed to use the same descriptive, but, his memory failing, resorted to translation. "And zis actresse-she come on for ze part of ze lion."
 Was it a trained animal show?" asked the listener.
 On another occasion he was speaking of call he had made on friend who he said, lived in flats house.
 Flat house, you mean" he was cor rected.
 ''Mais non," he persisted, having thought the matter out. "Flat house -zat ees flat on ze top. But flats house-zat has ze flats cen eet. And zat ees where he lives"
 Politics interested him. "Zey tell me-" he said "zat to obtain an appoint ment in zis citie, one must half un drag. Non-zat ees not ze word; non drag-ah! I haf eet! Un pull! Eat ees necessaire.''
 It was when he ventured into Ameri- can slang, however, that he found him. self at sea without oars, sail or rudder. Some gamin had been rude to him on the street, and in describing the mat ter, he said: And I gave heem a good cooking"
 "What? A cooking?"
 'I do not tiuk zat ees what i gave heem," he admitted, puzzled.
 "A basting, perhaps" was suggested. "You thrashed him."
 "Oh, non. l did not put hands on heem."
 Perhaps you scolded hinn-gave him a roasting?"
 His face frightened. 'Ah, zat did, 'parfaitment. I gave heem good rrroasting." a=s,ss-s ~s
 When he went back to France he was pained to leave his American friends, who had become dear to him. He declared that he would never miss an opportunity to see them.
 'Eef ever may see you again, will do so, eef I must come from very long deestance off. Or, as you Amer jeans say so charrrmingly-even eef I must come from way back. Eat shall be my pleasure-to come from a way back. ."-N. Y. Times.

"Why should everything that a woman loves be so shockingly dear~ heard discontented voice say beside me. "Why should we always be denied pretty things because we can't afford them? See there, nowl" and she turned towards 8 regal creature coming down the street. Ut Is easy enough for her to look perfectly charming, with all that style, and a full purse back of it, no doubt Whats the use of all the reforms, anyway, when they leave this most important question untouched? They talk of equality of opportunity, but I fail to see it, unless it is opportunity to confs- cate: and even that isn't equal. It is the swell women that get along, whether they are adventuresses or bonafde. wouldn't even make 6 good shop-lifter. My gown and cape haven't the correct cut for the occupation" This somewhat extraordinary speech from rather demure, sweet-1ooking individual who stood looking ina shop window that was filled with rich fur garments, made doubly fair by tie soft electric lights. I fellto picturing the tall, graceful figure in one of them, and felt confident that she would be a success It did seem too bad.
 It seems to be fur, more than any thing else, that arouses this rebellious feeling in women. Perhaps it is be- cause the article is so bafiing. There S no initiating it with any degree of success. The clever woman can get up a stylish street costume for 0 quarter of what her fashionable friend has

A Sympathetic Waiter.

Some of the simpler and quieter summer hotels in the Adirondack re- zion are not the least comfortable though their furnishings are primitive and the local walters have not metro politan ways. At one of these quiet houses husband and wife, who were stopping for few days on their way north, attracted by their pleasant manner the liking of the waiter detailed at the table. Madam, like a true American, called for little more of some particularly nice pie, whereupon her husband rebuked her jocosely in his care for her health. No, no, Milly," he said, "you have had quite enough pie for your good" "Never you mind him, Milly," said Elnathan, the waiter, leaning over her chair, a perfect mass of sympathy. "You kin hev all ther pie ther is; here's hull one."-N. Y. Tribune.

ure in seeming to be economical. It isn't bit of a sacrifice, of course, to substitute a lovely lamb for seal; but when one saves two hundred dollars by doing so it is really deed worthy of hearty commendation.
 After these long, magnificent gar ments, turn you to the dainty short ones. Their full backs stand out about the waist, only few inches, and their fronts finish in long points below the waist. An English jacket of this style is all of seal, has both back and front trifle longer, and revers that are cut in the shape of the pointed ends in front. No buttons are visible.
 But after all, such garments will be in the minority this season, fashionable though they be. Our. dress sleeves de- mand capes, and capes will be very gen. erally worn, except on clustering, un- comfortable day, when nothing keeps the wind out but a heavy, solid coat that buttons closely about you. For any other weather, the long, plain, round capes, made very full, will be worn. They are like the sleeves and the skirts, narrow and plain at the top, and spreading widely at the bottom. They have no trimming but the high collar that rolls at will. The shorter capes, that are slipped over the warm costume on sunshiny afternoon, are more fanciful, and often stand apart to show closely fitting fur vest beneath. Plaited shoulder ruffies. adorn the dressier capes.
 
 In the small collar pieces and boas of fur4those that trim so effectively the perfectly plain black coat, the chin chilla,furs are by far the most popular. In fact, chinchilla is the trimming for cloth and fur. It trims the Persian lamb and the seal coat, as we'll as those of cloth. Prettiest, perhaps, of all these collars, is the one that falls in short round cape, just over the shoul- ders, and continues down the front in long stoles. Boas are made so wide this year they answer all the purposes of collar; for they are rolled back when

paid. She will have Fifth avenue hat reproduced, with the same ratio of reduction in cost. She can get up the very latest cape by deftly making it herself, and when it comes to evening and house dresses, why, she revels in dainty bodices and sleeves and tea gowns, and all that sort of thing, made from materials that cost anywhere from five cents to five dollars yard. Even so handsome a thing as velvet doesn't disconcert her; for isn't there velutina, with it's alluring sheen that dissembles so cleverly and never be- trays the fact that it isn't what it seems?
 But fur-ah, that's another matter! To be convinced of the fact all you need do is take your position be- side that of the discontented maiden and look in that bright shop window. You know there's no initiating one of those costly garments; and that if you are unable, even by strict economy, to scrape together the wherewithal to purchase one, the only thing to be done is to resign yourself and thank Heaven that you are at least clothed and in your right mind.
 The first thing you will notice is the prevalence of Persian lamb in all it's varieties-the soft moire of the still born lamb, the silzen Persian, and the fine caracule. It makes entire coats and trims cloth and seal. It has lightness, in it's finer varieties, which the heavier furs lack, and gives better
 .A~,. length, tight-fitting garments that will be worn this winter. These garments ara made with the full godeted. or back, regulation revers and high roll ing collar; or in the newer shape, with tailor~made back, cut open in the middle, and overlapping to consider able extent. In front they are double breasted, and close-ftting. The sleeves arc of huge proportions, of course, so that the large dress sleeve may be quite unharmed. The revers droop as much as the puffs do; and you will notice that almost all of the garments arc trimmed with large pearl buttons.
 There is also Prince Albert shape among these Persian and seal coats. You will observe that it fits closely above the waist line, and flares even more than the others below. It has but one row of the pearl buttons.
 The seal is not so fashionable this season, perhaps because it is more ex- penslve, and women are taking pleas
