The report goes on 20 comment upon the
figures, a. follows:
While the year has been one of unusual
business depression, and unforeseen DIM
culties have confronted the financial al.
minisiration OF the city, there are many
causes for congratulation.
I'm spite Of the large dsfalcstion Of the
late city treasurer the city has not issued
single warrant during the year, but has
met Ills every obligation with prom ptness.
Although great duilness in private enter
prsses OF every chara-ter has prevailed
here ~ throughout the Union the taxes of
1882 have been paid with such commend
abe promptness that there remains deiin-
quent less than $50 20 OF roll OF $4,000.
In m judgment there could be no better
evidence Of the solid foundation of our
business intersstA
1T was extremely unfortunate that when
the time arrived for the sale of the bonds
oil Las, the whole country WAS suffering
from an almost unprecedented financial
stringency. The result Was that the bonds
could not be sold until some months after
the time anticipated, nor for as high q
price ~ was expected at the time the propo-
sition was conceived. The price feal
finally obtained for all OF the bonds, ex-
cept the first series of funding bonds
($l35,0D). which have not yet been ac-
cepied, was conceded by business men TO
DO fair one under all the circumstances.
A test suit il contemplated TO establish the
validity OF the tirst series OF funding bonds.
The accumulation OF interest ON the fioat-
ing debt. pending the sale of the bonds,
and the discount OF the sale viii create
de1cst Of about $50. 900 In excess Of the err nro-
ceeds OF the honda. This added indebted
ness can readily be provided for by small
tax levy each year until the liquidation of
the warrants has been completed.
The construction OF some of the reve-
nue-producing ordinances by the muni-
cipai court has seriously decreased the in
come and tended somewhat to demoralixe
the license department Of the government.
The income from team licenses alone
which in 1891 Was &. SOS. has been reduced
to from 40 TO SO per month by reason of
the inability OF the officers to enforce the

The Pillow Nuisance.

81 happened to be i'll Kansas City
while convention was on, said F. 5.
Mes, land owing to the crowded con-
dition of the hotels was compelled to
double up with stranger. He was a
very pleasant man of German descent
and did nothing cratic until he went
to bed. Then he removed the casters
from the legs at the head of the bed, so
as to make it lower than the foot, placed
his pillows at the foot of the bed and
went to sleep with his head at least 2
inches lower than his feet. He slept the
sleep Of the just and had to be called
half dozen times in the morning. We
went down to breakfast together and
ridiculed him for his peculiar sleeping
posture. He quoted some German sci
enlist with five syllable name as his
authority, and so convinced me of the
fact that it is entirely a mistake to sup
pose that pillows and holsters are neces-
sary that l discarded both and found to
my surprise that he was right. The dis
covery was revelation to me, but it Is
certain that to some people at least II
pillow is IA nuisance instead of COM
fort if they only knew the fact. st

season. but now the tea gown has with

more graceful and elegant than before
and is trimmed with even greater elabora-
ton than ever.
saw one yesterday that was most beau
tiful. 1t was of cream white camcl's hair
of the finest quality. The gown was cut
princess shape, with extremely full back
The front opened over panel of pink sat
in lavishly beaded in fine cut jet with q
five inch fringe of the same The side
portions of the gown We're embroidered
with black velvet applique in arabesques
and palm leaf pattern, all the outlining
being done in very small gold beads. Where
the palm leaf came at the bottom of the
front it formed a scallop, and this was fol-
lowed all around the bottom, and beneath
the black velvet scallop formed by the leaf
there was a narrow plated rut1le of pink
satin. The sleeves hung open in the old
new bell shape, and they were embroidered
in a similar manner, though in a smaller
pattern. The sleeves We're lined with pink
satin. The neck was finished with seal
lops at the top formed by the palm leaves,
which were set upside down, and a mar
row quilting Of black lace laid against the
white neck. There was no collar of any
description, as the neck was cut down
quite to the collar bone There was a bow
with deep loops and long ends set at the
back of the neck made of rich pink MORE
ribbon.
Another exquisite tea gown was Of ci-
gale green crepon, the back laid in deep
godet plaits which fell from the seams in
the princess back. The neck was cut out
square and had black velvet yoke cut in
points on the lower side. From this came
a vandyked accordion plated ruffle of ci-
gale green silk muslin. There was "a ruf1le
Of the same style around the bottom of
the skirt, headed by a row of black velvet
ribbon. The front of the dress was loose,
of cigale green silk muslin, and had four
rows of black lace insertion laid down the
front, each ended with a rich fringe of
jet. Along the bottom of the front was a
fine row of beaded work, with imitation
emeralds, black jet and gold beads min
gled, sewod directly ON the material, and
beneath this was n fringe of chenille and
the mingled beads. The upper portion of
the sleeves was of faille to match the Gre
pom, with lace falls. They reached only
to the elbow.
There was another gown made almost
exactly like this, but of oyster white ben
galine, with Lincoln green velvet yoke
and lace jabots down the sides of the front,
which was made of apple green crepe du
japon. The black lace insertion was laid
down the front in tho same manner but
the flounce was of fine black chantilly

sizes, four an each side, and beginning at
the shoulder to end at the bottom There
were two rows of fine soutache all around
the edge and the standing collar The
fronts were made to button, or to hang
open, or to fold back like revers. 1t was
altogether stylish design. Around the
bottom of the skirt was band of the gray
cloth edged with black soutaohe. The
band was four inches wide.
A very dainty and girlish bodice was q
waist gathered very full in front and back
and the fullness all brought in to the bot
tom of the waist in front and back, leav-
ing the sides smooth, as they were cut
princess shape. There was double bow
of ribbon at the throat the two lower ones
setting out to the shoulders. From under
this two ends crossed the bust in figaro
shape and went plainly around the back di-
rectly across it, as though it was real
figaro From the left side seam there was
brought forward a drapery made of three
rows of ribbon sewed together, ending
little to the right sida.under loops and
ends of ribbon. This trimming can be
adaptc o almost any waist and can be
separate so as to be added to any gown at
short notice. Such trimming would be
suitable and pretty for any of the light
woolens figured or plain, or the pretty cot
ton goods of the season. 1t is dressy
caprice. Velvet always looks well as an
accessory over any kind Of waist
A novelty in velvet additional corsage
was cut like a cutaway basque, reaching
only to the waist line. The upper portion
was cut away as though for a guimpe
and piped with black silk. In front there
was large dropping bow of the velvet,
and a drapery of the same around the neck
ended in a sailor knot. There was fril
of lace around the bottom, and iabot in
the opening of the waist. This is made tc
slip on over any kind of plain waist and
is very novel and affective. 1t tones down
high colored dress and gives brightness
to a dull colored one, and it is particularly
rich over white
There are several novelties in sleeves tc
summer gowns. | notice a number of ell
bow sleeves and what we used to call bell
sleeves, but these have so evidently been
specially ordered on account of tho heat
and possibly because the wcarcr has dain.

be called a style. But the Others seem to
me to have a better claim to the name of

vet or embroidery and one was made SC
that the material in the sleeve dropped
over the elbow and sagged deeply, while
the shoulder part was narrow and brought
down in straight lines. The upper part
is much narrower than the lower portion.
The new leg O mutton sleeve is not SC
large as it was, and the wrist and forearm
arc as narrow as they can be. Some have
queer little roscttes of silk or ribbon set
on the shoulder and also on the bend OF
the elbow. A more graceful sleeve is mace
of silk having the upper part in one loose
but not very large puff, and a band of vel.

NEW IDEAS IN CORSAGES AND STICKPINs.
most to have grown upon the graceful
young figure, 1t was opened ON the left
side under row of wheels of heavy passe-
menterie and was Topped up a little on
that side, just showing an underskirt of
black velutina. The lower sleeves were
also made of that beautiful fabric, and the
upper ones of silk with a row of narrower
passementerie like that on the body. The
front was plain, but the back of the skirt
ample and full.
Novelties during these days run more to
fancy corsages than to anything more inn
portant, but the corsage now makes the
post important part of the costume. Very
few are made entirely of the same mate
rial-that is except the various waists, 4"
which l do not count as really corsages.
There are 20 variations on the Elton jacket,
some of them very swell and stylish.
Some of them are to wear with under
waists of different material, and others
are made of the same. One of the prettl-
est conceits In this style was where the
gown itself was made of navy B. b. serge.

Tea gowns had such a sudden and VIC

at all hours of the day. and often they were
slightly modified and worn as evening and
reception dresses They were loaded with

amount of lace and ribbons used to deco
rate them must have made many q man S
