DYER, Ind, March 9.-The safe in the
Michigan Central depot at this place was
robbed. The robbers effected an entrance
to the building by prying open TIE door
with crowbars. Holes We're drilled in the
front door of the safe and these were filled
with giant powder, which was ignited by
means of a fuse, and the door was blown
from its fastenings. No one has yet been
found who heard the explosion. The
amount of money obtained by the bur-
glars was small and will probably not ex-
coed s.. The greatest loss is n number of
tickets that were stolen, but just how
many is not known

BATHURST, March 9.-The British forces
are still meeting with stabborn resistance
in their attempt to route the forces of Chief
Fodisliah, the chief of the slavers. A flying
column which started from Busumbula for
Bakamar did not meet with any resistance
during the march. But Bakamar was
found to be well fortified with stockades,
and there was heavy firing on all Sides
Finally the troops shelled the town and
sent number of rockets into it, setting
fire to several houses and doing considera-
bic other damage. The fight lasted an
hour, after which the British destroyed
the town and subsequently returned to
Busumbula, intending to move the whole
force. The only casualties on the British
side were three men wounded.

CORRUPTION IN WASHOE,

The APPEAL regrets to note the
fact that Mr.. Alt, the Chairman o.
the Washoe Board of Commissioners,
has been caught letting county con-
tracts to himself.
The fact that he was elected on a
reform ticket makes his offense all
the more culpable.
During the same year that Alt was
elected the same issue was tried in
Ormsby county, and when the APPEAL
proved that the County Commission
ers had been dabbling in county con-
tracts the people repudiated the work
of the Commissioners, and Judge
Rising clinched the nail by deciding
a case against Commissioner Bray.
Ait, therefore, acted with his eyes
open, and the APPEAL firmly believes
that the practice of County Commiss-
toner's dipping their hands into the
county treasury will not stop until a
public example is made of someone,
and few months in Jail is about the
shortest way to do it.
Every silver man in Washoe should
assist in ferriting out the facts in the
case and seeing that no mercy is
shown alt, if guilty.

THE NICARAGUA CANAL.

The bill which the House Com
merce Committee has agreed to re-
port for the construction of the Mic
aragua Canal is practically Morgan's
bill, with some changes in detail.
These changes seem intended to make
the Government guarantee some
thing less of a favorable speculation
for the Canal Company, and to that
extent are in the public interest.
The canal, under Government con-
troll, will promote trade instead of
cinching it, and carry the worlds
commerce at the cheapest rate con-
sistent with paying operating expen-
ses and interest on low interest bear
ing bonds. There must be no water
in the stock.
The point is to get bill before
Congress that will pass and that will
protect the public Interest. If Con-
gress can be fully awakened to the
importance of the matter there
should be no trouble about arrang-
ing details.

AN INNOCENT CONTEMPORARY.

The Republicans say protective
tariff and silver shall 60 in company.
Reno Gazette.
Oar Reno contemporary has fallen
into an error common to people who
do not keep posted on the political
history of their country.
The editor of the Gazett, should
long ago have discovered that what
the Republican party "says" has no
bearing what ever on what it does.
For some years past the Republican
party and also the Democratic party
has been saying all sorts of things
about silver but doing nothing.
The only positive action it ever
took relative to silver was to demoL-
etize it and then positively refuse to
remonetize it.
The old parties have acquired
habit in past years of talking through
their hat to the people.
We. had supposed that no one
would be chump enough in Nevada
to believe that the Republican party
meant anything by the hanky-panky
business the party is now engaged in
on the silver question headed by
Tom Reed, but since we have read
the Gazette we hav, changed our
views.
1t is now case of root hog or die
with the old parties. They see the
tide of votes setting away from them
to the silver party and the only way
to stem it is to make frantic prom
ises of doing all sorts Of things for
silver. After election we will be then
notified that the President contem-
plates another monetary conference
and it would be wise to avoid the re-
suit Of these deliberations.
The Republican party is now the
loudest in its promises to silver but
it has no more idea Of remonetizing
silver than it bad last year, Wall |
Street has not decided to remonetize |
silver and Wall Street must decide |
before the Republican party can act. |

The women found the basques ugly,
and basques are made no more, unless
by the occasional second class dress
maker.
Skirts of thin materials and of some
dinner and evening gowns are loose
from the lining, and others, particular
ly silks and woods for day wear, are
cut a-godet and lined as heretofore, but
with fullness at the top of the back,
where last year they were fiat. The
fullness may be gathered, but quite
new idea is to arrange it in three
enormous gauges, each some two inches
deep, and closed over the top, that
stand directly out from the back.
Very little trimming is on most
skirts-a, mere foot border, meant only
for finish. composed of perhaps mar
row puff, or several folds or pipings, or
a facing.
There is an exception to be made to
this rule. however, as some gowns have
deep ruffie, and some have deep
f1ounce of more than half the, skirt S
depth. These wide ruff1es are better
skirtS-that is to say. they are pre-
ferred by the most fashionable women.
Many of the bodices meet the skirt
in a clean line without any belt, but
this requires the most perfect fitting;
others have the waist seam covered
with narrow strip of silk drawn
round in gathers, that adds nothing to
the size of the waist. Some bodices are
hooked down the back. The sleeve may
be shirred into the armhole, but it is
usually laid in side plaits each way
from a box plat on the top.

church great singers are engaged from
the opera. The altar is splendid with
lights and flowers. The toilettes of the
women guests are in the latest mode for
afternoon visiting. The men are in
ordinary morning dress.
The bridal party enters at noon or
1890. The bride on the arm of her
father followed by the groom with his
mother, other members or near friends
of the family, some young girls in sim
pie white or tinted gowns and large
hats, perhaps some children. all enter
ing with very little ceremony, or at
least with little apparent consciousness
OF its being an extraordinary occasion.
They all pass inside the altar rail.
where two semi-circles of chairs are
placed facing the priest, and all sit, in
Guiding bride and groom, during the
ceremony. Afterwards they pass into
reception room, where all the guests
follow to offer ongratula tons.
1t is approaching o'clock when the
handshakings are over, and the party
energies again into the church to pass
down the aisle to the wedding march,
and go home to lunch, with such of the
guests as are hidden. The lunch is in
formal and without substantial dishes
some chocolate. tea cakes, etc. taken
standing and without ceremony. while
one chats bit to pass the time till the
carriages take off the young couple
and their baggage to the train.

this is now thought very bourgeois.
The correct thing is to be married
with as little festivity as possible. 1t IS
all compressed into two public occa-
sions. There is a reception at the sign
ing of the contract, which is made an
occasion to exhibit the presents.
The presents are arranged with all
the art possible to enhance their ap-
parent value and number.
Those too bulky to be produced,
horses, a carriage, etc, are represented
by photographs or water colors. A
table service in indicated by a minia-
ture dolls service. Furniture for din
ing room, for a bed room, is vouched
for by written lists. A porte monnaie
has a card inside stating the sum the
family hberality has enclosed within.
A model in plaster or wax represents
the chatteaus where the happy couple
will go to spend the honey moon. It all
forms a veritable museum which the
journals will describe with the names
of the donors. The question of presents
is as important here as in America.

The skirt has a ten-inch ruffie, the
lower edge turned under like a puff,
strapped at intervals with velvet rib
bon. The sleeve puffs are strapped like

wings, white gloves, white parasol.
A costume of green and white checked
taffeta glazed with rose had the skirt

with heavy cream lace in key pattern;
the bodice had yoke of lace laid over
plain dark green, so cut as to leave the

upward in the middle, and a fold of
silk finished the outline. Lace over
plain green formed the lower part of
the bodice also, so that the silk appear

JUNE WEDDINGS IN PARIS.
How the Bride Displays Her
Presents.
Her

In France as in America, the month
of roses is the month of marriages, and
in the streets of Paris, look whichever
way you will in June. there goes a
bridal procession and there is caught a
glimpse of white satin and tulle.
For one is never too poor in Paris to
be married in the traditional white cos
tune, and the poor little onvriere has
her veil and artificial orange blossoms
with the rest.
They are quite as much a part Of the
ceremony as the blessing of the priest.
Among the working people the we'd
ding party drive out TO some restaurant
in the suburbs and spend the afternoon
eating a grand dinner and dancing in
the garden. Or else they go to the
restaurant by the waterfall at the end
of the Bots, and it is the best Coincide
Francois in Paris to sit in the cafe here
outside. watching bridal trains come
and go under the trees, with the swal-
lows overhead and the green verdure,
the sound of water upon the rocks, the
light laughter and the flushed faces of
happy brides. It is a picture of deli
cious simplicity in the midst of the
complexities of Paris.
But there is quite another ruling for
the fashionable bride.
1t used to be the mode to serve an
elaborate breakfast with the bride seat
ed between her mother and the father
Of the groom, and to have balls and re-
ceptions follow the honeymoon. But
