Lehigh Valley Railroad Preparing a
Notice to Employees.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. II, 1894.-The
officers of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company are preparing a notice which
will be sent out broadcast in a few
days, announcing the fact that on and
after December 1 there will be a reduc-
ton of 10 per cent. in all salaries over
81, 900 per annum.
This reduction is somewhat of a sur
prise, not only to the clerks, but to the
officers as well. as it was thought that
with the improvement of business a few
months ago there would De no necessity
for such a move. Although the freight
business n passenger business have
shown some Improvement the coal BUSH
ness is in such a state that 1t is now
being carried on at a loss. An officer of
the company said yesterday that as far
as their general business was concerned
the ompany was doing all it could expect
to at these times. but the condition Of
the coal prevented it from declaring a
dividend.
1t could not be ascertained how long
this reduction was to be in. force, but
from the statement made 1t was inferred
tina as soon as there was an improve
ment- in all kinds of railroad business,
especially in the coal situation, old sal
aries would be resumed.
The officers of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road were very reticent in regard to his
reduction, merely making the
ment that 1T was toFtake place the be-
ginning Of next month.

Detective Hottie Has a Hard Time
to Capture Young DoIan.

William Dolan of No. 3 jackson ave-
nue. was arraigned before Justice Doug
lass yesterday charged with embez-
zling funds from A. Van Wrinkle of Sum-
NIT avenue by whom he was once en-
ployed. lie was held for examination
The warrant on which Dolan was ar
rested AVE been issued and in the hands
of Detective Hattie for over a month.
Dolan ran away when the complaint was
made. Hottie got word Thursday that
he had returned. The Detective called
at his home at 700 o'clock in the evening
and was told by Mrs. Dolan that her son
would not be in for an hour. The De-
tective waited and watched from the
other side of the street and at 9 o'clock
was rewarded by seeing his game enter
the house. He crossed the street n
was only a few seconds behind Dolan as
he mounted the stairs. He heard Mrs.
Dolan tell her son to go into the bed
room and hide as Hottie was after him.
AS Hottie headed the top of the stairs
Mrs. Dolan slammed the door in his face
ana turned the key in the lock. Hottie
told her to open and let him in, but she
length of time to comply with his de-
mands and then threw himself against
the door. Mrs. Dolan was standing in
front of it n directly behind her was a
table on which was a lamp and con-
siderat lie crockery.
The door knocked Mrs. Doian n the
table over and mashed the lamp and
c~rockery. Hottie found his prisoner
hiding under u quantity of clothes.

Monsignor Seton returned last Monday
afternoon from Washington, where he
had the pleasure of lining with the
Most Reverend Apostolic Delegate. While
in Washington the Monsignor always
stops at the Shoreham. His return was

plaids and stripes and shepherds checks
on the surface and a thin gummed lining.
These also sometimes have silk for the
outer fabric, but they are in a lesser de-
gree open to the objections of the old mack
intosh. Some and, in fact, the most OF
the cravanette waterproofs are made up
with the same care and style as If they
were regulation stuffs for other oloaks.
For dust proofs for winter travel the silk
warp henriettas are being used. They are
nicer for the purpose than silk. Some of
the tailor made short length capes of mel
ton in tan, navy and brown, with velvet
collars, are very chic and stylish. The
Trilby cape is also ''in' for a run. These
are always of melton only, while the other
capes may be of anything wooden. There
are two or three new wooden stuffs shown
as novelties. One is called unfinished, and
it has a rough, scratchy appearance. An
other has the surface nearly covered with
little knots, just such as you tie in your
thread when sewing. 1t is very odd and
for that reason pleases.
I noticed some beautiful new armure
and taffeta fancies in silks and a line of
foulards. These last are expected to be
the leading spring silks, and they are not
on sale yet, but a few dealers are showing
them as high novelties to favored custom
ers. They are twilled, very soft to the
touch and polka dotted. Some are black,
with white dots, and others are colored.
There are colored grounds, with black
dots. There are several new ideas in
moires and figured satin damask in black
and colors suitable for street wear for ma
irons. In peau de sole there are many
new effects, mostly obtained through
figurings, and there is a limitless number
of designs in what they call illuminated
fancies in black and colors. All these are
duplicated in the fine black dress goods.
Many very rich gowns are being made Of
the heavy corded silk. I saw n yester-
day with a full godet skirt. Around the
bottom were two n-illiner's folds of black
satin, each surmounted by a fine line of
Jet galloon. Tho waist was trimmed with
q fiat bertha of plain satin notched and
edged with jet, and there was a draped
collar of magenta velvet. Moire granite is
another well liked silk and is being pro-
duced in dozens of designs. Grosgrain,
plain and figured, is the favorite silk,
and after that the reps and corded. l
nave noticed some terry velvet, as it used
to be called. Uncut they call 1t now. 1t
looks like extremely heavy reps silk. 1t is
superb for cloaks. eros de Londres, i'm
perial twills, some faille and armure luxor
satin duchess taffetas and brocades are all
worn. Plaids are used for Innings and
waists.
Shoes are being filed down to a sharper
and more lengthened point than ever, and
the foxings are cut and stitched in Won
derful patterns. 1t Is necessary to fill the
toes with cotton to keep the point in shape.
They look well enough, but are instru-
ments of the keenest torture.

WARM HEART AND COOL HEAD.
The Rev. DIR. Ryman,S Advice to
Young People AbOut TO Marry.

why Not Marry%' was the subject Of
an interesting lecture delivered last night
by the Rev. c. s.. Ryman, D.. D., at the
Linden Avenue NJ. E. Church. The all
absorbing question of matrimony attract
ed a large audience, which was composed
largely of unmarried young folks, who
came to secure pointers. Mr.. Ryman
said in part
God may have intended to have a few
old bachelors in this world, but he GER
tainly never intended to make all hui
mainly in such melancholy fashion. Our
doctors advise us for the good of our
bodies to keep the heart warm and the
head COOL This advice applies with
double force to matrimonial matters.
When you are looking for a mate keep
your heart warm and your head cool.
Don't forget the latter. Look well be-
fore you leap. A blunder in marriage
is the most unfortunate thing on earth.
for it causes trouble for life. There are
giddy girls who seem to think that mar
ried bliss lies in being we'll dressed, con-
sequently they, set their cap for the
well dressed young man. They refuse
plain but good men n marry ~brainless
dudes. Some people pass through mat
rimonial life beginning with Irritation,
followed by cOurlSnlp ana mdTTldSe,
finally ending in divorce and broken
hearts. Look out for firts. There are
plenty of noble women who a be had
by wooing. Matrimonial mistakes are
inexcusable. Before you marry you
should thoroughly learn the character
and temperament of the one you wish to
max your life partner.
Don't marry anyone who is insolent
to his or her parents. They make poor
husbands and wives. Those who cannot
treat their parents reverently will never
treat anyone else better. Neither the
wife nor husband need be brilliant con
versationalists to maxi home happy. True
worth is all that is needed. Where there
is worth there is happiness. Today money
seems to be a big factor in matrimonial
affairs. This should not be. Marrying
for money is a petty commercial tram
saction and not a transaction where
love, reverence and happiness play the
leading part. Beauty, dress n form
should never be considered. They are
but temporal things. Consistency, I'M
swerving fidelity and chastity add SOL
emnity to the marriage vows and not
beauty dress or form.
Having secured a life companion 1
offer the following hints to secure hap
piness:-Strive to be appreciative. Be
contented with our lot. Never expect
to find perfection in your companion.
Trust each other necessarily"
MI. Ryman dwelt at length upon each
of these hints and interspersed his re-
marks with humorous stories and say
ings.

makes Is point oil wearing sober colors, 10.
nothing else will bear contrast with the
flowers. One lady wore q dull frosty green
velour du nord, with the princess shape
well defined by fine sprays of black jet
p~assementerie following the seams from
the neck to below the knees, tapering to a
tendril at the bottom. Her figure was SUI
perb, and for that reason she wore no
wrap, butS she had q black ostrich boa,
large and long, out Of which her fair face
peeped like another flower. Another lady
had a terra Gotta velutina costume. The
skirt was cut in a circular form and fell
in thick folds, the electric light bringing
out all the superb standings of the color
and fabric. Around the bottom there was
a narrow band Of "a yellowish tipped fur.
The waist was Tapped over in deep crushed
folds to obtain the best effect of the ma
terial, and the sleeves were immense
draped gigots, the wrists edged with fur.
There was a short Hungarian military
cape thrown over one shoulder, held by o
heavy gold chain and clasp and lined with
maize brocade. Thu cape was bordered on
the bottom with two narrow rows of fur,
and the collar was trimmed in a similar
manner. The lady wore a bonnet so small
that one had to look twice to see If 1t was
a bonnet or a fancy bow of velvet. The
wearer looked like an animated chrysan-
themum herself. She was a pronounced
brunette.
To return to the question Of suitable
habiliments for young ladies, / may men,
ton a street costume that was recently
imported. The skirt shows hat most
graceful of draperies, the "wrinkled
'front.' and on each side there is a wedge
shaped band of black astrakhan. / should
have said that the dress is of seal brown
camel's hair suiting. The back breadths
are held in loose plaits. The basque is In
plaits in front, blouse fashion, while In
the back it is straight and in one piece.
The belt is of astrakhan, with a cut steel
buckle. There is a series of turrets ten
inches deep, each bound with ~astrakhan,
and there is a shoulder cape slashed in the
same manner and also bound with astra-
khan. The collar is of the same. There
may or may not be another wrap, accord
ing to thetweather. 1t is expected that
this costume as it now is will prove sufh-
GENTLY warm, but a wadded vest or a
wrap or jacket to be tasteful should follow
the general plan of the rest of the costume.
1t is youthful and handsome.
The new waterproof garments are ex-
ceptionally handsome. I say that advised
ly, for the ugly old i'll smelling waterproof
cape is q thing of the past. Garments in
tended to protect the wearer are made of
c~ravanette, which is a handsome wooden
fabric coming in different colors and look
ing like ordinary dress material, but by
some treatment or other it is perfectly wa
terproof. This is made into ulsters with
or without capes and hoods, but generally
with them. They are porous and not gum
med. There is still another waterproof
fabric which has a surface like wool in
