ESCAPES PUNISHMENT.

Dismissal of a Case against Poker
Player .VEo Passed a. Bogus Check.
SAN JOSE, CAL, April 3.-Hope John
son, charged with passing bogus checks on
William Corkery, a saloon-keeper, had his
examination before Justice Dwyer this
morning. Johnson, who is young man
of good appearance, was seated in a poker
game in Corkerys saloon, and, running
short of change, asked Corkery to cash a
check on the Oakland Bank of Savings for
$5oS, which the latter did. The check was
presented at the Oakland bank and proved
worthless. Later Johnson was arrested at
Santa Cruz and brought here. There was
no evidence to prove that Johnson had
acted in criminal manner and Justice
Dwyer discharged him.

VICTORIA SEALING NEWS.
The Season for Hunters Promises to b
an Exceptionally Poor One.

The season for Hunters Promises to Be
an Exceptionally Poor One.
VICTORIA, B. c., April Binder the
international sealing agreement sealing on
the coast will cease April 30. and present
prospects indicate that the catch for the
first half of the season will be very light.
Ten days ago the highest catch reported
was 325, which at current rates would not
pay expenses.
1t is too early to venture to predict on
the seasons work as everything depends
upon the second half OF the season and
the luck in Asiatic waters. No reports
have been received from the Asiatic coast
as to the conditions and number of seals
and those from this coast are quite
meager.
Seals have5 been running we'll off the
island, but the weather, as stated, has kept
the hunters aboard the schooners.

IIl-Bred Young Girls.

Philadelphia Times.
A very charming woman who has spent
almost her entire married life in chaperon-
ing young girls said to the writer the other
day: eve are. going South alone this sea-
son. We have been requested to take charge
of two young girls. but simply declared
that 1 was going on this trip for pleasure,
and that 1 could not undertake the worry
and responsibility of looking after capri
cious young people,"
She then went on to say that she had
found that almost all of the young women
who had ever been under her charge were
wanting in the very first principles of
promptness; that they were never ready for
trains; that if they made engagements they
had no hesitation in breaking them If they
felt i'll, and that, in fact they showed such
a tremendously selfish spirit that. everyone

like some more noted reformers, we will go
about shaking hands with ourself saying

can't we women be more prompt? 1t is just
as easy, to be on time as to be late, and Id, it

man who is Obliged to sit in the drawing

high opinion of the young woman who is

hands of the clock move steadily around and
he knows that a full act of the play for
which he has paid out good money is over.
1t is very much better to be ready and
waiting than to keep others waiting. Some
women are fearful dawdlers over their
dressing, and, knowing their weakness. they
should start sooner than one who finds fif-
teen minutes ample time for preparation.
Do not say you will get ready at 10 if you

quality that should be cultivated if for

FOR WOMEN'S READING
IMPORTED FASHIONS DIFFER LIT
TIE FROM PRESENT STYLES.
Girls Who Are Lacking In Elements
of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to Peo-
PIE Who Entertain.

The first French dresses imported for
spring, says Harper's Bazaar, are charming
ly light and attractive. They are made of
Scotch tweeds, crepons and new mixtures
of silk and wool that will serve not only
during the demi-season, but in summer also.
In style they have the graceful, easy effect
now so popular, and which is much more
easily carried out in light fabrics than in
heavier winter stuffs. To give this effect
belted waists reappear will dropping fronts,
with box-pleats and with yokes, but with
novel variations from those now worn. The
opening of the round waist is concealed
either under the front pleat or the trim
ming or on the left side, and the lining is
fitted by darts and side forms in the usual
way. The end of the waist goes inside the
belt, which is attached to the skirt, and
modistes claim that putting the skirt belt
outside permits them to regulate the APP
parent length of the waist, making it long
or short by placing loops on the dress
waist to meet hooks inside the skirt belt.
Satin or ~changeable taffeta silk Jokes are
on crepon and tweed gowns. Some are very
shallow, others reach low on the bust, and
many are OVERLAND with lace vines or ecru
embroidery, the vine patterns in rows
around, and the applique embroidery in
lengthwise points. White satin is, accord

yoke of a light tweed gown, and plain shot
taffeta is good enough for that of a crepon
waist, as, in fact, they merely form a
foundation for the embroidered or lace trim
ming.
A triple box-pleat dropping over the belt
remains in favor, and may begin at the
throat or below a narrow yoke. The back
usually repeats the front in pleats that are
allowed to droop. Sometimes ruffles of
doubled silk extend up each side
of the pleats, widening toward the shoulders
and made very full there. Two box-pleats
outside of a wide band of embroidery are
excellent l~engthwise trimmings both in front
and back of wool dresses, or of silk as well.
A short circular basque five or six inches
deep is now seen with be1ted and box-pleat-
ed waists, the basque being sewed to the
top of the skirt with the belt which goes
on outside the waist. AS the skirt fastens
in the back, the little basque is open in
front and back alike. 1t Is underlined, and
is trimmed all around with a border match
ing the waist trimming.
Mutton-leg sleeves remain in favor, but
are more trimmed than they have been.
They have lengthwise rows of milliner's
folds or lace vines, or straight-edged inser-
tions reaching from armhole to elbow, or
even to the wrist. Elbow sleeves of a sin
gle draped puff are seen again, while others
are formed of ruffies all around. A new
fancy is that of cutting the sleeves of wool
gowns to flare at the wrist and inserting
close satin undersleeves, thus preparing for
warm or cold weather, which ever may
come.

Bread and Butter Plates.

New York Times.
Are bread and butter plates in use yet,
and are the little spreaders the proper
thing to use with them?'' IS a query which
reaches this department. The reply to the
first question is made that they Individually
are, although it will not be difficult to find
some authorities announcing that they are
not. These little plates have been found
to be a great convenience, and experience
shows that when such is the case enough
sensible persons are always found who will
continue the use of a convenience to keep
it in fashion. The bone plates which pre-
coded them were not nice in suggestion and
were speedily abandoned. A place for a
piece of bread and a separate small knife
with which to put a. bit of butter on it is,
in lieu of complicating the service of a
meal, a distinct simpliier; it is more USE
full in the one-maid establishment, even.
than in the more elaborate ones, for it
assists in the matter of serving. 1t is a
mistake to have these plates too large;
but it is not a mistake to have them. Glass
ones are pretty and the silver "spreaders.''
as they are vulgarly called, for the nice
ones are pretty, and the silver ''spreaders,' .
person does not spread bread, should be
equally unobtrusive.
