Art ofLettcr Writing.

Object teaching is most effective in
letter writing as in many other practical
matters. Any bright young person who
will examine carefully d considerable
number of letters from persons of differ
ent ages, circumstances and occupations
will get a good lesson in things to cult
yate and things to avoid. A few obvious
rules must also be considered in forming
ones own habits, that enviable privilege
of the young.
Good let black ink and plain white
paper are the best. A slight tint of
cream or blue. if preferred, is in equally
'eood FORM" but snowy paper of any
kind is Objectionable.
It is the rule to date letter at the be-
ginning at the right hand side, a note at
the end ON the left hand. Numbers.
dates and proper names should be writ
ten with care, so as to be perfectly dis
tinct.
Sign your full name in writing to
stranger; if ON your own business, nclose
a stamp and write, please address Mrs.
M. Smith," or "Miss M. Smith," where
YOUR correspondent has no other means
of information.
Answer all letters promptly. This hab.
it may save you immense losses. All
these hints from Country Gentleman ap-
ply to what may be called the mechan'
| ism of letter writing, but the mere forms
| demand certain amount of attention
as the world has agreed to notice trifies
| in these matters.

TRENTON AFFAIRS.
An Efrort Begun In the House to Unsea
MR.. Thompson.

TRENTON, Feb 2s-The first movement
of the Republicans for possession of the of,
fees of the state treasurer and state comp
troller was made when the bond of Treas
urer elect Swain was taken to the seure.
tary of states Office for filing. The secre
tary refused to received it, and it was left
in his office In the quo warranto proceed.
tngs the hearing was resumed, with Will.
liam b. Sout hard on the stand. He was a
visitor on the floor. He related the pro
ceedings in great detail, much as the pre-
vious witnesses had told them.
William H. Hoffman,, the solid RepJtb,
hcan senator from Cape May county, was
next called. He told of the difficulty the
senators had in getting to the door CT the
senate chamber.
At the afternoon session of the house Mr..
Storrs of Essex offered a resolution calling
for speedy investigation of the election
contest of Jacob G. Lippincott against
William j. Thompson. The committee on
elections was empowered to send for papers
and witnesses, take possession of ballot
boxes, etc, in the Third district of Cam
den county. Mr.. Harrigan denounced the
resolution as an extravaganza scheme on
part of the Republicans out of which to
make poljtica. capital. He rdiculed the
idea that Mr.. Thompson was fraudulently
elected. Mr. Beekman also opposed the in
vestigaiion because of the cost to the state.
Mr.. Thompson said he wanted the full
est investigation at the hands of the house.
He declared that he had been honestly
elected and asserted that he had never ask
ed man to give him his suffrage. But he
wanted his side of the case presented in the
right way and thought he should be fur
nished counsel paid by the state. A lively
debate followed on this DrODOSition and
the whole matter was laid over.
committee consisting of Messrs. Storrs,
Cross and Beekman was appointed to look
up presidents as to the method of employ
ing and paying counsel. They must re
port today. A bill was introduced by Mr..
Ginder providing for the election of boards
of freehoiders in counties having a popula-
ton of from $1,000 to 100000 by electing
one member from each ward, township and
borough for terms of two years at salary
of $3.50 per annum each.

WHIPPED BY WHITE CAPS.
A Lazy Fellow Given n Cold Bath, Scrub
bed with Lye and switched.

BRADFORD, Pa, Feb 2S.-White caps
took il upon themselves to reform resi-
dent of kinzua, small village in this vi
entity. John Brytou, shiftlesS, filthy fell
low who refused to work and support his
wife and child, WAS the object of their
wrath.
A few days ago Bryton's baby died of
starvation. There was no food i'll the
house, and the mother went out to a neigh
bor's and begged ii cup of milk. The hus-
band was in the house when the woman re-
turned and took the milk and drank 1t.
The baby's death occurred soon after
At midnight Il crowd of men surrounded
Bryton's miserable howell They forced an
entrance and at once proceeded to carry
out their prearranged plan.
They stripped the fellow, secured tub
of cold water and gave him bath with
I've for soap. Then they logged him with
| hickory whips. He bore his punishment
stoically for some time, but eventually
weakened and begged for mercy. He
promised to leave the country and never
come back if they would allow him to go.
They granted his request, and at day break
he left. The wife is being cared for by the
people of kinzua.

NEW WOOL FABRICS.
Crepons, Challis. BareGes and Other Dress
Goods For Spring and Summer.

CrepOnss CnAlils+ baTeSeS ana otheF DTcbs
Goods For Spring and Summer.
A marked characteristic of the new
dress goods is the tendency to Grape eff
fects, SAYS the New York Tribune, which
gives the following information about
the summer woods: Not only is the dull,
soft surface given i'll woods and silks, but
also in many of the new cottons, and
where the goods are not crimped or
''rutfed' i'll this way over their entire
surface there may be q stripe of thick
or sheer material which is fulled i'll Grape
effect. The CrepOns, or wooden grapes,
introduced two seasons ago, which found
no special favor at that time, are being
made up III new styles in con- junction
with silk and lace for afternoon gowns.
While these goods are more popular in
lighter cOlors. they are also found i'll ma
w blue and some dark shades. The fab
ric, though introduced for general wear,
is entirely unsuited for such purpose,
owing to its liability to catch the dust.
The crepOns, with heavy, eccentric
vale are not so desirable as those with
a finer crinkle. some of which are SINH
lar in surface to II china Grape. a great
variety of surfaces are seen i'll the grapes
which come i'll evening colOrs. Some
which are brocaded with little overshot
figures of silk have a deep crinkled sur
face, while others have the rough, raised
surface of a seal leather. Still Others are
striped in bayadere by agroupOf heavier
threads crossing the vale of the tissue at
half inch intervals, and others are dotted
with irregular raised knots.
Silk crepon is largely used for draper
les in combination with satin and vel
vet. 1t is also used in large twists around
the bottom of the skirt, and these twists
and draperies are caught up by swallow
winged knots of satin or velvet ribbon
A wool goods with satin surface,
known as satin cashmere, is being used
to supply the demand for a softly drap-
ing wool for combination with silk.
Meantime there is a demand for sheer,
soft woolens of all kinds, and it is be
lieved that the pretty challis, which
have found scant favor during the last
few wears. will again be used. In Il fine
quality of pure wool they are very at
tractive. Nothing is more hateful, how
ever, than the cotton challi, or the mix
ture of cotton and wool. y good challi
of pure wool is seldom sold for less than
so or 60 cents yard in 30 inch width
! and is one of the most satisfactory OF
gowns.
The new French challis arc found gen
orally in conventional patterns, though
some small flower designs remain. Chine
effects, which promise to be prominent
feature of all figured goods, are shown
| -, 1,rl,
are many patterns where the chine effect
crosses the goods in something of the
! style of a watered silk.
Cotton bareges, which are duplicate
of the fancy wool bareges, are found IN
a variety of delicate colors-striped and
| dashed with color in chine effect and
having tiny dots or black or dark brown
Mastic or putty color is a shade which is
commonly found now in cottons and
other new goods of the season.

BOSTON'S MOB TAME.
Crowd of Very Mild Socialists Gathered
In FanueiI Hall.

BosToN, Feb. 2S-The demonstration of
the unemployed in Fanueil hall was a very
mild affair and took the aspect of a tame
socialist meeting. There was no parade,
the unemployed going to the hall singly,
In pairs and quartets. Morrison l. Swift
and Carson, the Equity union agitators,
acted as leaders of the unemployed, but re-
Trained from any of their fiery speeches.
Swift urged his hearers to be quiet and
peaceable, but his remarks at intervals
were greeted with groans, Kisses and cat
calls, and this was the extent to which any
signs of lawlessness were carried.
Governor Greenhalge was ridiculed by
the speaker. and the crowd was happy.
The presence in the hall of large number
of policemen may have served as a calming
influence on such as would have desired to
have made trouble, but the fact that the
police had been instructed to allow no an
archistic demonstration had been SO well
heralded that nothing of the kind was at
tempted. The meeting broke up with
three cheers for the red fiag-"not of vio-
lence," said the speaker, but of peace"

PATHS Unpatriotio Orchestra.

MONTREAL, Feb 2S.-A great sensation
was caused at the end of the Patti perform
ance in the Academy of Music by the neg
lect of the orchestra to play God Save the
Queen" when the curtain finally fell. The
thing was so strange to the audience that
people sat dumfounded without moving
till the governor general, Lord Aberdeen,
stood up in the vice regal box and started
the national anthem himself. Before leav-
Ing the theater Lord Aberdeen saw the
managers of the academy and expressed
great displeasure at the neglect. Mrs.
Thomas explained it by the presence of
PATHS own orchestra, who were not accus-
toned to it. 1t is the second time in the
history of the Montreal theatricals that
such a thing has occurred

the missing Cornell sophomore, arrived

He went, and on his way back he was
seized, he says, with an attack of an old
complaint, which originated seversI years
ago as result of II fall from bicycle. He
then proceeded to Syracuse to consult his
family physician. lie further declares that
during his treatment the doctor refused to
allow him to read any newspapers, and
therefore he remained in ignorance of the
charges alleged against him.

WASHINGTON, Feb. % As a result of
several informal conferences among promi-
nent delegates to the recent congress of
the Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, who were dissatisfied with the meth
DDS of business adopted at the congress,
some radical changes in the organization
of that society are now in contemplation.
Several forms of propositiop-some look
ing to restricting the powers of the ma
tional board and others to altogether alb
rogating thcm-will soon be submitted to
various influential chapters. The purpose
is declared to be to cause a congress to
semble which can meet, elect its own Off
GERS and proceed to transact its business
without restrictions
