 JOHN W. LAX f..

John W. Lake. who died yesterday. was q thoroughly competent and faith ful public officer. His duties required the strictest integrity. absolute accu-
 racy and sver-watchful care. He was well fitted for them by nature and by training. and he did them so well that he made q record full of honor and good example. The city of New Ha-
 ven has been very fortunate in having
 the benefit for so many years of his
 honest, careful and efficient service.
 It will be long before the important
 office which he held is better filled.
 MT. Lake was d public-spirited man and his action in public affairs was characterized by good judgment and proper appreciation of New Haven's place among cities. He was of lib- eral disposition, and many acts of time ly and quiet generosity stand to his credit, and insure him hearty and grateful remembrance. He was good natured and tolerant, loyal to his
 friends and devoted to his family.
 The loneliness of his latter days was cheered by an absorbing affection for
 his grandchild, and his last conscious thought was of her. He had struggled for long time with deadly disease and though he had apepared to be gaining in health just before he was finally stricken, the end was inevita-
 ble. It has come, and those who have watched the brave and fruitless strug-
 means rest for the vanquished.

elaboratioDs will be eschewed. the edge of the coat opening smoothly over the vest front. This vest is often of con- trasting color and material, but there is tendency to let the contrast be of moderate color and effect. ." '
 Broad effects in the use of colors will prevail, while the oolors themselves bid fair to become reduced in brilliance By broad effects 1t is meant that small frills, rows of bias stuff or edgings will not be used in color, contrasting with the ground, while. on the other hand, sleeves of contrasting color and mate- rial with the rest of the dress will con- tinue the right thing. and overdrsss and bodice will often contrast with skirt. while they match with each eth- CT. As yet the old-time fashion of bod ice and skirt to match and oVePskirt contrasting seem to be we'll sbead. It is as well, for it was always g trying style. In the case of lace or net over dress this effect is already tried, but the lace or net really amounts to drapery rather than to an overdress

1 QUAKER PLATFORM.

While the great Methodist Episcopal church is puttering over the question Shall a minister of the gospel use to- bacco? and while other great churches are not even puttering over it, the Society of Friends is tackling it to some purpose. At the great yearly meting os Quakers which has just been held at Raleigh, South Carolina, a report was adopted, which says, among other things, we recommend that in the fu- ture TO member of the Society of Friends of North Carolina shall be re- corded as minister. or appointed an elder, who engages in the use of to- hacco."
 This strikes us as a good platform to stand upon. We do not know that the use of tobacco Is really very wicked, either for laymen or ministers. But it does seem proper that those who are picked out to lead the way to heaven should be men of will and self-denial enough to be free from habits which are generally recognized as bad and harmful. How can 8 minister who is a slave of the tobacco habit feel hon. est while he is warning his hearers against being a slave of the world the flesh or the devil. How can he fairly put the rum-soaked drunkard where he belongs when he himself is permeated and poisoned with nicotine? How can he sincerely declaim any gluttony or other forms of sensualism while he is longing for the accustomed smoke or chew? And how can he honestly warn weak and impressionable youth against entering into the bondage of harmful habit while he is firmly fastened by its chain.
 We have noticed that ministers who | smoke or chew tobacco use much the same arguments that those who drinl, rum do. (Not those ministers who drink rum, of course. but those) They talk about the use of the good things of God, personal liberty, fanaticism
 etc, etc. They don't seem to think that a call te preach the gospel includes a call to them to get away from all that may make their preaching ar ex- ample dubious. And if their examn,A makes any brother or sister offend thev lay the offense to the weakness and the
 Wickedness of said brother or sister and hold themselves guiltless. Which is comfortable and convenient Rut if may be doubted. all the same. if a min ister of the gospel does well to keen his cigars in the pulpit, as an Fnp,,sb minister was fin the habit of doinp or to smoke cigarettes. as Methodist min ister in this country was lately crit cised for doing.

suited to personal use. The flowers are favorites with all and ofrer suhieieht choice for the individual perfume af- fected by many lovers of sweet odors. But all perfumes that are wholesome are those that are natural and unmlx- ed: not the conglomerate decoctions of the chemist.
 Few modern writers have achieved more popularity in their day than did Miss Susan Warner. who wrote those romances so dear to the hearts of girls who now are women in middle life. "The Wide. Wide World" and "oueechy." The first mentioned reached a sale Of BOO, 900 copies. and was translated into French and German. while the fame of "Queechy" was spread by means of a Swedish interpretation. Ten thousand copies of her last novel. "The Hills of the Shatemuc," were sold on the day of It's appearance.
 These books are now ''out of fashion" though new editions of them have ap- peared in the present year. They were not sensational; they dealt with no ab- struse questions. nor touched upon mat ters better left undisturbed: they were not pessimistic nor grimy; they abound. ed In details. if not in thrilling situa- tions: the heroines were always blush- ing and always dlssolving into tears. yet how good and how sweet they were, and how healthful was the whole moral tone of the story! The reader was often k,t tln never long depressed. and pursued the quiet tenor of the romance with posi- tive. though mild enjoyment. Perhaps we should be none the worse for read ing them again.

"A case was tried in Soegel. Hanover, . few days ago which is of general Interest to Roman Catholics and Free Aasons. A business man of the town md & member of the Roman Catholic church had been called a Free Mason by rival. The former brought suit for libel against the rival in the civil courts. The head of the town cathe- dFal Was summoned as an expert wit hess. and testified as follows: "To call another 8 Free Mason per SC cannot be . defamation of character. as, with 1hs exception of Catholics, no confess oion forbids its followers to become Free Masons. But it is a defama tion tor Catholic to be called a Free Mason, because the church not only tosbids its members to be Free Masons but where the membership is admitted and is notorious the person is exclud- = from the sacraments. Other mem-
 bsrs of the church. therefore, look with suspicion upon a Catholic who pretends to be Free Mason" The court, after this testimony, fined the defendant, and ordered him to pay ths costs ef the suit.

FASHION VOTES.
Shadows Cast Before.

There will be no radical change in the fall fashions; indeed, We cannot expect a great change again for some seasons. The vogue of the tailor-made will be- gin to decrease. This is because of the flooding of the market with very cheap ready-made garments of this kind. Only the very extreme of fashion in "man-cut" will be tolerated and this extreme will often go beyond beauty. The chances are that the very long coat with flaring skirts opening over vest front will be favorite type, the dress skirt worn with such being extremely narrow to point well below the edge of the coat.
