The New Trim minEs.

A long range OF new trimmings have
fr!nges formed of punches of spear
heads of jet clustered together, and some
Of the drops are shaped like fans, larger
than spear heads. Tassels of these play
an all important part. and deep fringes
are used. The trimmings, which follow
the idea of the ret cuttings, are
sometimes crocheted with cord and jet.
MORE ribbons and gallons are a dominant
idea, these being often worked in designs
with sequins or smaller paillettes. Some
of the wider makes of such ribbons have
fringes falling from the edge. An ex-
trcmely pretty novelty Is a light make
of lace worked all over with jet, plated
with a narrow jet gallon down the GEN.
tire. ready for trimming capes and man.
ties. Occasionally leaves of Jet are laid
on the plaits OF lace: sometimes there
Is only one row with a jet heading, but
often the lace Is Joined down the centre
and covered with jet, the ornamental
border OF the lace showing at each edge.
Then, again, this class of trimming IL
diversified with deep fringes and deep
vandykes Of jet.

THE OFFICIAL EXODUS.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
health OF the city Is exceptionally good.
an epidemic OF ~indisposition seems to
prevail among the official heads of the
municipality n the leaders of the
dominant political organization. At
least, many OF them are leaving the
city, and II their visits to the South and
the Pacific coast are not caused by
need Of rest and recuperation. to what
can the extraordinary exodus be at
tributed?
Mr.. Richard Croker. the head OF the
political organization and the recognized
director OF the city government. has
been for some days travelling through

A WIFE WITH A CANDY APPETITE.

The Williamsburg girl who thought
matrimony was n perpetual candy pull,
and so got married. is now wrapt In re-
get and repentance. Her husband
found out that he couldn't earn money
enough to pay her candy bills. and, arriv-
Ing at the conclusion that remonstrancc
wouldn't take the edge OFF her appetite
for caramels and marshmallows, he
boxed her ears, swatted her father In the
midrin, and did other things that busted
up his home.
The husband had no bank account, and
the wife no resources OF her own. The
only dowry she brought to her lord and
master was n consuming hunger for con
fectionery. She could live on gumdrops
and chocolate creams forever, but the
husband probably hankered after corn
beef and cabbage or boiled spare ribs, or
something unpicturesque but substantial
and when he didn't get them there war
trouble.
Brides nowadays are sweet things, and
" sweets to the sweet Is all right SO ia,

LEAVING TAMMANY.

Beyond doubt Tammany has received
a severe blow In the resignation OF Con-
gresham Dunphy from the organization
and In the reasons he gives for his re-
tirement.
Mr.. Dunphy says plainly that his aban.
donment OF the old association Is because
he cannot sanction the election methods
Of the leaders. whom he believes to be
more responsible for the recent offenses
against the ballot-box han the tool
who have been tried, convicted n pun
ished. He objects, also. to boss dictation,
and he charges that Mr.. Cookers efforts
to defeat the Wilson bill. which he says
was the object Of the leaders visit to
Washington. were neither In the interest
OF the party nor OF the country.
Tammany cannot at this time AFFORD
such secessions as that OF Congressman
Dunphy.

Numerous studios are in active work

female operators. Pictures of andre

seems burning with a desire to see II

think that public sentiment is yeertng around ia
the importance OF this question, When we take
into consideration the vast army Of unemployed
labor. the constantly increasing use OF labor-sav-

Socialists that are focking to our shores who are

CAUSE AND EFFECT.


From this mornings "World.')
The extraordinary increase in 1.-THE
WORLDS circulation. as shown by the
figures for the first two months OF this
year, suggests a study of cause and
effect.
The average circulation for January
and February was 433. l67. This Is the
largest daily average circulation on rec
ord. 1t is a gain Of over 1880 per
day In three years. 1t is a gain of over
$4,000 per day In one year. No other
newspaper In the country. It can with
confidence be asserted, has made an
actual or a relative gain approaching
this during the business depression Of
the past year.
A growth like this 10 not a mere
happy accident. 1t is a result due to
an adequate cause.
Is n cause more obvious or more
adequate this the public service which
1.-THE World" has rendered during this
time? The period has been propitious
for the work to which this Journal has
been specially dedicated-the service OF
the people. 1t has seen the culmina-
ton Of 1.-THE World's' long fight against
bossism and corruption In Kings County
In the trial, conviction and imprison-
inent Of McKane. 1t has witnessed the
conclusion of the Brockway investiga-
ton, completely proving the inhuman
erueltles that have been practised In
the name of prison reform. 1t has
seen the long agitation for a Greater
New York bear fruit in the passage OF
+ '"The World's'' bill submitting the plain
question of consolidation to a vote of
the people.
The record Of the year includes the
successful moral revolt against the at
tempt of a political machine to reward
b tainted Maynard with a seat in our
highest court. 1t has written high on
the scroll of honor the splendid feat OF
acquiring through the generosity OF the
people more than ~three-quarters OF a
Eiiliion loaves of bread for the destitute
poor OF New York.
In the field OF National politics and
government THE WORLDS fearless in.
= dependence and devotion to Democratic
principles have still further commended
1t to the people. Its honest criticism OF
the Administrator which 1t helped tc
pihce In power, fol- departures from those
principles In the Hawaiian affair and
1.-THE Oiney appointment, was as much ir
the line CT duty as Its earnest support OF
the repeal OF the Sherman act and tn,

At a uniform rate. 1t takes six men one hour
