 Poor Gotham! It-has once more been
 smitten with the violet craze. This craze strikes it once or twice year and rages fiercely for few weeks. A short time ago violets were so plentiful that had a triumphal procession been unex- peetedly organized and the people been moved to throw their trophies at the feet of the conqueror, they could have easily covered the pavements by casting down only the violets that were pinned in their bonnets and on their breasts.- Exchange.

The finest of fabrics, the filmiest of laces, the dantiest of ribbons-all these are pressed into service for the ere ation of these charming confections, but the bizarre in decoration has been discarded simultaneously with the outre in design. Handwork is taking the place of the machine once more as in the good old days of our great grandmothers, and as a result the old-time fancy for exquisite stitchery is reasserting itself.
 The fortunate possessor of linen em- broideries wrought it may be by the fair fingers of dead and gone ancestresses, will find many opportunities for utliz- ing them. Some of the newest lingerie show decorations of this order so ex- quisitely fine as to almost rival lace.

 The pretense of the mode is to astonish as well as charm. This season it has achieved it's object. For this reason it still remains indefinite and at the same time so varied that it is difficult to tell what is the fashion. The fashion mak- CTS seem to be searching after the extra ordinary and startling, as if it were try ing the temper of the many. and fearing to be reflected only by the few. The consequence is that everything is the 1aSnlOn ana nothing the mode.
 
 The experiment of employing women instead of men in the French postal service has been tried with such good re- suits of late that the government has re- gently appointed a number of women to excellent positions of trust.

 The railways have, however, been the best friends to the women; it was the Dombes company which made the exper- iment of employing female clerks at the offices, or as station mistresses at the small stations, but gradually nearly all the French railway companies have fol- lowed this example; women are used at the ticket offices, as watchers, etc.; the East company employs 30S2 women and the North company 2700.-Exchange.

STRUCK BY AN M. c. TRAIN.
Two Old Ladies Dragged Some Distance
and Badly Injured.

Yesterday afternoon at l2:45 as the M. @.
passenger train from the south reached the
Chapman street crossing IL struck the carriage
containing Mrs. John Willetts and Mrs. August
Otto two old ladies living a few miles beyond
Bennington. The old ladies had driven to
Owosso In the forenoon and had stopped for
dinner at the home OF Mrs. Otto's daughter,
Mrs. Fred Koulitz, on south Chapman street.
After dinner they started for down town and IT
was but short distance from the daughters
house that the accident occurred. A long line
of box cars on a siding hid the view from the
track for part Of the distance and added TO
this is the fact that the top and side curtains OF
the carriage were up which shut out all view of
the approaching train The train always stops
a few hundred feet beyond Chapman street on
account Of the ID. g. M. Ry. crossing and hence
was going comparatively slowly when II struck
the carriage. Before the carriage reached the
track George Sheasley who saw the train tried
to stop the ladies but they misunderstanding
him or not thinking the train was SO near drove
on and the locomotive struck the carriage
breaking II away from the horse which was I'M
hurt and carrying it with the ladies about
hundred feet before they were rolled away down
the enbankment The carriage was badly
wrecked and the ladies quite seriously hurt.
Mrs Otto received q fracture of the shoulder
blade also dislocating the joint, cut on her
left knee and sprained ankle. Her face was
also somewhat cut. Mrs. Willetts received
severe scalp wound on the right side OF her
head and smaller one on the left, some rough
scratches on her face and bruised shoulder.
The ladies were carried back to Mrs. Koulitz's
home and Drs. Arnold and Peters were hastily
summoned it being at first feared that the in

Many Elegant Decorations and Good Pro-
grammes.
Easter is becoming more and more ma
tional religious festival day. All of the
churches have come to regard it as most
proper time for special services and in
Owosso last Sunday some very fine pro-
grams were rendered.
CHRIST CHURCH.
Christ Episcopal church was filled with
beautiful lilies and plants, most charmingly
arranged. Services with special song and
praise tendancy were held nearly all day.
The early service drew large attendance
and was very impressive one. Rector
Roosevelt's salutation was exceedingly APP
propriate, the text being "Christ is risen to-
day." and the response she is risen in
deed" The solos by T. j. Horsman, Carl
Knapp and Frank Allen were much APP
preciated.
FIRST METHODIST CHURCH
Was decorated with lilies. The choir
had several selections prepared for the diff
ferent services which were most perfectly
rendered and enjoyed by the large congre-
cations which the church enjoys every Sun
day. Pastor Kerridge's easter sermon at the
morning service was very touching.
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.
The Kings Daughters had prepared the
church so as to show better than ever, the
beauties of the auditorium. The choir at
the morning service, led by G. G. Duff sang
some beautiful hymns, and the solo by
Fred Frieseke showed his well trained voice
to good advantage. Rev. j. G. Cromer
preached thoughtful sermon on the per
lection of character" In the evening the
primary and intermediate departments of the
Sunday school, under the direction of Mrs.
M. II. Reynolds, gave programme of recita-
tons and song, using cross and other
emblems in illustration. Rev. Cromer
made few remarks, making the evening
service very pleasing one.
ASBURY NJ. e. CHURCH
Was filled with flowers, and at both
services appropriate services were held, the
Sunday school giving programme that
was enjoyed by church full of friends.
BAPTIST CHURCH.
Easter was observed at the Baptist church
by special sermon in the morning and ex-
ercises carried out by the Sunday school in
the evening. The church was trimmed
with great taste, and never looked prettier.
A crowded house heard the evening exer-
cises, (which consisted of Rotations and
songs by the children, while chorus choir,
composed of older members of the school,
showed good training and sang we'll. The
whole service was pleasing one.
At the mems meeting the M. K. choir
sang several selections and Rev. j. G. Gro
mer made some very impressive remarks.
A large number of men were In attendance.
ST. PAUL's CHURCH.
AS usual on Easter, Rev. Father DOMAIN
gave special attention to the sermon and the
effort was powerful one. The church was
handsomely trimmed and large congrega-
tons were present.

Paine's celery compound IS found
to best supply the great need of
studious, sedentary people. Its extern
sive use by brain workers, both men
and women, suffering from sleeplessness,
indigestion, or other effects of deficient
nerve force, shows its ability to feed tired,
emaciated, nervous tissues. Nothing else
has ever possessed anything like the power
of Paine's celery compound to restore a
healthy nervous tone to the entire body and
to thoroughly cleanse the blood. School
teachers, professional men, newspaper men,
ministers, public officials. men whose daily
outlay of vitality, because of hard trying
anxious work, is excessive, find renewed
strength, not only of nerves, but, through
their healty action, of the entire body. in
Paine's celery compound. Its use shortly
dispels headaches, rheumatic pain, dyspep-
STA, heart trouble, general debility and
languor, and all other outword signs of the
grave mischief that comes from disordered
nerves and impure blood.
