have is of the dropping style. There are
many, very many, long maDtles seen now
nearly all of the dolman form. That
means that they are arranged to flt the
figure in the back and have shoulder
pieces made in the form Of long, dropping
sleeves.
Dolman mantles are among the most
graceful and dignihed of garments. They
will take an amount of trimming almost
incredible. They look refined, no matter
how much is put on, and they look equal
1y we'll when finished in tho most rigid
simplicity, though naturally those most
richly trimmed are the most dressy. Vel
vet, heavy repped grosgrains and ottomans
and the rich brocaded woolens and broad
cloths are all seen in dolmans The plain
surfaced goods are often rich beaded in
applique patterns and have liberal
quantity of fine cut Jet upon them. Some
have furs as bordorings, but the very new
est show bands of closely curled ostrich
flues, sometimes wide and sometimes very
elegant, the peacock flues are very dressy,
narrow Peacock nues are also often seen.
The black feather trimming Is the most
and the gray ostrich trimming Is novel
and pleasing. These are left in the nat
ural color, which is a notified gray with
some white and little black among II, so
that the general effect is very soft and
pleasing, and it seems TO go well with al
most everything in material and with ev-

A FLORIDA PICTURE,
Pen Sketch OF Southern Scenes and Sur
roundings by Paul Bourget.


A town Of quite small houses, with
streets, and all along their wooden side
walks trees of magic and overfiowing YER
dure, bursting into leaf which the dust
has been unable to sully, writes Paul
Bourget from Jacksonville, Fla, in the
Boston Herald. Persian lilacs, like those
whose perfume / breathed in the east
stand in the street itself, gigantic, in full
bloom, and perfuming the already burn
Ing air. There are, moreover, overladen
orange trees, Japanese medlars, also yell
low with fruit, bananas, palm trees, all Of
which foreshadow still another world than
that Of Georgia. A penetrating aroma
seems to pass through the sun which
shines In the too intense blue like tho sky
which overhung the Dead sea last year,
when, on leaving the grim convent Of Mar
Saba, perceived that still water and the
soft line of the mountains of Moab. But
yonder history and legend were for me
mixed with the sensation of nature. Here
IL Is nature alone with which como In
contact, nature with its murderous fauna,
its violent flora, its atmospheric phenom-
ena, rather its cgtaclysms, charm and dan
ger, at once perceptible in the very air one
breathes, i'm every small detail which we
meet at the corner of the street, in the
sudden jumps of temperature-in fact, in
the entire life of this small town, so peace
full on this Easter morning.
Negroes and still moro negroes. II
seems as IL the town belongs to them en-
tirely, so densely do they throng on the
sidewalks, the men in Prince Albert coats,
with flowers in their buttonholos, and
wearing trousers of bright shades, the
women clothed in outragGously light col.
ored dresses among which those of apple
green, poppy red and light pink predomi,
nate. Their bodicos are cut in figaro fash.
| ion, their hats are decorated with ribbons
| and enormous flowers, and their hair is
| plated in plaits which are very thin and
very tight, the object being to diminish OF
| destroy the natural crinkling. They smile,
| showing their white teeth between their
| thick lips. The white teeth of the men are
| displayed in a similar smile, and they all
| salute and approach one another with that
ceremonious familiarity, that species Of
natural affsctation, which is peculiar tc
this strange race.

fllowed chOica i'm the matter. Sunday
saw a young lady coming from church
who wore q handsome tailor mado gown
of dark green cloth. There was q snug
jacket of the same, with enormous velvet
sleeves of the same shade of dark green.
Each sleeve was larger by nearly third
than the body of tho wenrcr. There was
on the next block suit of modest brown
oheviot, but Of the finest and most excel
lent quality, make and finish, and the
sleeves were so much reduced In size that
had not the wearcr been known as one of
the best dressers In the city one might
have imagined that an old gown had heen
resurrected for the occasion. The skirt,
however, was of tho most approved godet
and the trimming marked by it's extreme
ly fin dc sicclo simplicity, and by the
"whole together" as the French say, we
all knew the gown for the latest. There
Is no real criterion for the size of the
sleeve but that Of the good taste that
would not lead any one to extremes,
The new importations for evening
gowns show some magnificent and superb
effects--indeed n few Of the brooades have
almost as large designs and as intricate
interlacings as brocatelle. The satin sur
face ig woven 80 thick, and tho pattern is
thrown up in such manner as 10 almost
look like raised work. Great passion how-
ers In natural colors, with tangle OF leaf
and tendril, completely cover the surface
OF one pattern, almost hiding tho pale
blue Of the groundwork. Another design
shows enormous singh hollyhocks in sew
eral shad,,s from palo Iink 10 the darkest
sherry red. almost black These with their
frosty ioayes, are laid over cream colored
surface Some OF the brooading Is done In
satin weaye and others are In ciseie effeots
OF plush over satin. This latter 10 indie
kcribanly beautiful and next 70 sold bro
ends is tho most regal o. iabrioa 1.

THE NEW FRENCH PRESIDENT.
NJ. Faure Is Moderate Republican and
Free Trader

"The French democracy is fond of medi.
ocrities" is the explanation given by his
opponents of the unexpected election of NJ.
Francois Felix Faure 20 the presidency OF
the French republic. 1t appears, however,
that Faure was not entirely tho choice OF
the democracy of France, as many mon.
archlsts voted for him, preferring his con-
servative and honest mediocrity to the
brilliancy of Waldcck Rousseau and the
radicalism Of NJ! Brisson. TO America the
chief significance Of his election lies in the
fact that President Fauro is free trader,
being large shlpowner and represent
alive of the great seaport of Havre

Sins of Alexander III,

In his zeal to stamp out disaffection
Alexander III reintroduced the knout,
discontinued in previous reign, and
practically abolished trial by jury. In
1883 he sanctioned an order, signed by
Galkin Nrasskoi, head of the central pris-
on department, declaring that hcnceforth
"no difference shall be admitted in favor
of political prisoners i'm respect of punish
ment," and that "Goggng with the rod
and with the whip shall be admitted. 1"
This annihilatcd the distinction up TO then
maintained between political offenders and
ordinary criminals, since it gave to tho
executive officer of prisons the right to
fog 'politiCals" in his charge, and it was
under this order, sanctioned by the czar,
that Nine Sigida received the brutal beat
ing that ended in her death.
Another rcactionary feature Of prison
administration for which the government
of Alexander Ill was responsible is tho
introduction of imprisonment by admin
istrative order Previous to 1856 the ad-
ministrative exile of political suspects to
various places of residence in the provinces
and TO Siberia was common enough, but
in that year was begun the practice of
committing these suspects to Jail and
holding them there without trial as "a
preventive measure" at the will and ca
price of the executive. A new prison in
st. Petersburg, known as THE Cross, -
has been designated to meet the case Of
this kind of otfcnders-that is, of people
who have not committed any crime, but
! are simply suspected of being about to be-
come POLITICALLY Enthusiastically. Ed,

The Meek and Mild Chinaman.

The Chinaman, although proverbially
meek and mild, is man of dauntless
courage and uufiinChing fortitude. Noy
ages over vast tracts of stormy seas, cX-
tremos of heat or cold, prolonged scpara-
tion from home and all hG holds most dear
and sacred, COntumely and wrong at the
hands of men among whom he casts his
lot-noChing of all this can turn him
from his own purpose in lifc-namcly, the
accumulation of a little store of dollars
which 20 years forward will make him a
rich man in the country of his birth, will
enable him to provide for his parents and
erect monuments to the honor of his an
cestors and will cause him to be looked
up to and envied by his fellow villagers.
TO achieve this he goes cyerywhere--ev-
erywhero, at least, except to lands whose
hostile laws of recent years block him at
the ports of entry, and in countries where
such laws have been passed the very fact
shows that the Mongolian has already Sc
cured foothold. We are told that there
is no place Of consequence the wide world
over where i ScOtchman is not to the fore.
For myself | expect as confidently, whcr-
ever l wander to find my Chinaman.-
