MINOR OBSERVATIONS.

A friend OF mine who conducts one Of
the largest restaurants in the city told me
yesterday that but few people have any
idea of how many knives, forks and
spUUus are brown into the swift tub dur
ing the day. "But until recently a man
from Warwick took oil Of our
swill and he would return
all articles that he found that did not
rightfully belong to him. About two years
ago, we got a new 'swilP man, and after
he had been taking the swill for year or
more, said to him in joking way:
'Hain't you going to bring that silver in

man, 'me and my wife was talking about
that yesterday, and the next day The man

defeat Of Laphsm could not be credited

Fatal Accident at Providence
Athletic Club.

John Ricci, "a yesrs old, night watch
man at the Providence Athletic Assocs-
tion building on Weybossot street, met
with horrible death at o'clock this
morning by being caught between the
elevator and second floor.
He had raised the elevator abous four
feet from the first floor in order TO ex-
anime the bottom OF the car, upon which
repairs are 10 be made. BY mistake he
pulled one Of the ropes and started the
elevator upward.
ln his endeavor 70 bring the car back To
its original position he quickly leaned
forward to pull the other rope, his body
resting on the elevator floor.
BY another mistake Ricci grabbed the
same rope as at first and sent the car
rushing upward with increased speed.
Before he could extricate himself from
his perilous position the second floor was
reached ana the man was crus he'd, death
resulting almost instantly.
DIR. Palmer was called and decided that
death was due to Ricci's carclessness, and
ordered the body removed to an under
takers Ricci had been in the en-
ploy of the club six months and resided
ut 2sS Atwell's avenue. A wife and child

rich fabrics there are black and white
laces ia every variety, some of them om-

opportunity for elaborate trimming, while
immense renaissance sleeves are also seen
upon thom.
An illustration is given Of an evening
gown of rose faille. The skirt Is extreme

each side by panel of embroidered gauze
fastened at the hips by rose satin bows to

The tailor costume is perennial subject
of interest to women. They must have
one or more at their command. There has
been a great deal of effort to get out some
thing radically new in tailor costumes
this season. with what result il Is as yet
rather early too say. Among the novelties
to be presented, however, are dresses with
very narrow breadths, each breadth piped
or corded either with fancy woven cord
or one with a silk cover Years ago dresses
with corded seams were all the rage The
older members of the feminine communi-
ty will recall the old time gabrielle or
princess dress, with every seam piped with
bright or contrasting color. The newest
idea is address somewhat on the redingote
order, the sides and backs of the dress be-
ing full length, the front of the skirt piped
and having vest front effect with
pointed bodice.
A novelty trimming for dresses is of
perforated cloth. The edges are scolloped
or pinked out, and pattern in srabesque

nmel, bistre and eyebrow pencils Is no
longer good form, as our EnRlish cou.
sins would say. Theorists may assert that
these advontitious aids were never good
form, but the fact remains that many
women Of high social position make up"
as overpoweringly as ffth rate actress.
Now IL appears that nature Is authorized
TO have her innings--if she can get them.
Certain writers on matters Of the toilet
persist In recommending the use of an ex-
tremely coarse, rough towel for the hands
and face. This is mistake. A towel of
moderate coarseness Is proper for the bath,
but as the hands and face are washed sew
eral times day and are, moreover, con-
tinually exposed to the mir they do not re-
quire violent friction and are apt to be
rendered rough thereby.

skirt has a draped tablier bordsred with
band of myrtle green velvet headed by

narrow jet and he's guimpe composed of
alternate stripes Of gray silk and green

run down High street to River
street up which they turned,
tbrough the rear end of the wagon which
bad been left open, and about all of
the contents were promiscuously dis
'trlbuted through the business por-
tion OF the village. When just above Me-
iohanics store, at Harris, the team was
otopped by Peter st. German, with very
J little damage TO horses or wagon.
