A WORD ABOUT THE SPRING STYLES

A WORD ABOUT THE SPRING STYLES.
 On a recent visit to New Milford, a reporter, having a few minutes to spare, dropped into the dry goods house of Treat & Starr to get little information regarding the spring styles of dry goods, that might he of interest to the ladies. Fortunately, w. Edward Starr, who has charge of the entire business, was in and although busy he kindly consented to a short interview on the styles. MT Starr is genial man and, under his guiding hand the firm of Treat & Starr has won an enviable reputation up the valley for carrying goods. the latest, at prices that compare with prices to be found in any city. But for the styles. Beginning with the headgear, Mir Starr informs us that the feature is profusion of jets and Venise point laces, in white, black and butter color. Moife ribbons in the new shades are also fad and what flowers are worn are of the finer order, such as violets, etc., making subdued effects. In dress goods one of the striking features are the ladies' shirt waists. These come with laundered collars and cuffs and are rather masculine in effect, requiring the four-in-hand and Dejoinville scarfs. The outer garment of the season is the circu- lar cape with small capelets edged with lace and gimp. Coming to the more substantial, the dress goods in unusual demand are single patterns where there are no duplicates to be had. The eolors most sought after are brown and reseda green and the trimmings are of taffeta silk. In wash dress goods the leading fabrics are the French satteens in dark effects and serpentine crapes insthe high cOlOrs. CrepOn crincles will also be worn extensively. One of the newest fads is the Moire silk encroyable ties. Hosiery still clings to the fast black. Of the sta pie dry goods, of course there is very little change in style, the only noticeable feature is that prices are way down. MT Starr keeps his store and stock in apple pie order and aggressively makes many improvements each season. People up the valley appreciate such activity and it is only natural that this store should receive large patronage.

NADOLsKl IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
Another Victim Has the Alleged
Banker Locked Up.

John A. Madalski, the Polish banker,
of No. POS Washington street, who has
been arrested twice within the past two
weeks for fleeing his own countrymen,
was a prisoner in Justice Potts court
again this morning. This time the COM
~plainant is Peter Barowicicz of No. Ill
Twelfth street. He alleges that four
months ago he deposited $3.50 with Ma
dalski to be forwarded to his sister,
Mary, in Russia.
He never received any word from her
of the money having reached her. He
finally communicated with her. and
found that she knew nothing about any
money having been sent to her. Bar
owicicz at accused Madalski of having
appropriated it to his own use. Madalski
said something about having forgotten
to forward it., and promised to return
the money. Barowicicz waited a rea-
sonable time and then caused his arrest.
Madalski asked Justice Potts this morn
ing to give him time and he would re-
pay the money. This the Court refused
to do, and he was committed in $500 to
await the action of the Grand Jury.
Madalski's methods of doing business
and systematically robbing his country
men are to be looked into by the Grand
Jury.

there is something very charming in the
