Malone of Memphis has been published.
 Of the causes of lynchings MT. Malone
 said: "There are two; first, because
 the laws against crime are not speedily
 and impartially enforced; and, second,
 a sort of craze has swept over the coun-
 try, causing men, for the time being,
 join the mob, as of old, in the cry
 Cruelty him!" He believed that the present jury law was much to blame iG Tennessee. It excluded from service as jurors those who, having read about the case, had formed an opinion con- cerning it, although they might believe that their action on a jury would not be influenced by the fact. It exempted men over sixty-five years of age, and an absurdly long list of persons pur- suing certain professions and occupa- tions and holding offices. It permitted altogether too many challenges. In short, it almost secured to the accused the right to pick his own peers. And finally he could claim, what was denied to the state, change of venue. As means of despatching business and deciding appeals, MT. Malone rec commended that the Supreme court clear its criminal docket three times year, instead of once, as now. He also urged that Tennessee judges be allowed ito give an opinion on the evidence to the jury, being careful to distinguish be- tween matters of law and matters of opinion in regard to the facts" This provision obtains in many other states.

A FrenrI, Rnmnnce.

M. Joseph Bertrand, the welI-known
 French academician and permanent secretary of the Academy of Sciences,
 has just celebrated nSI golden wedding. The circumstances under which he be- came engaged to his wife form TO- nance surpassing the most lively eff forts of the sensational novelist. Tn 1S42, soon after the opening of the Versailles railway, Admiral Dumont nous for the discovery of the Venus of Milo, as well as for many more strictly professional exploits, was travelling from Paris with his charming young bride and his private secretary. A heated axle set the carriage on fire, and, according to the then prevailing custom the doors were locked The secretary escaped through the window and did his best to rescue the other two. Admiral Dumont d'Urville thrust the fainting lady out of the narrow aperture into young Bertrand's arms, crying, Save her! Save her! my friend, and marry her" An instant later the blazing woodwork fell in upon the gallant old sailor, and he was speedily reduced to a cinder. The sec retary fulfilled his dying masters in- functions and two years later led the widow to the altar. Besides Madam Bertrand he retains another souvenir of that tragic day in the shape of scar across the nose where the red-hot debris of the carriage left an indelible mark-St James, Gazette.

slightly to point at the waist. Some handsome imported gowns show be- wildering departures in pleated chiffon. A good effect for very slender form shows the chiffon futed in rounding curves that follow the lines of the bust in front and lend extraordinary round- ness and fitness to the figure.
 A rich ball or concert gown that com pines white brocaded satin and apricot velvet is the artists contribution here The skirt is made of the former materi- al and is garnished on the right side with two bands of silver galoon joined with strings of silver beads. Silver fil- igree stars border the bottom and two rows of silver fringe further adorn the bottom of the front. Colored stones break the monotony of the silver bands on each side. The bodice is of velvet with a pleated vest finished with lace revers and silver stars, and the cut-out is bordered with q band of sable, wider band appearing beneath the fringe of the front breadth. The sleeves are also banded with sable and have full lace epaulettes.
 Evening and party skirts are trimmed with festoons of lace in the old fashioned way. In no other way is lace more charmingly displayed, unless it be when drawn loosely over the shoulders fashion now permits to be uncovered save for some such cloudy drapery. FLORETTB,

Notwithstanding the existence Of the
 Yale School of the Fine Arts and the
 daily publication of the Register in New Haven Abstract Art finds hard
 sledding here. The discovery of it's close connection with County property was a bad thing for it, for 1t gave its foes an opportunity to hit it right where it lives They were not slow to take advantage of that opportunity, and yes- terday the result of their assault was seen when the injunction they had brought against 1t in the Court of Com mon Pleas was not dissolved.
 What will happen next remains to be seen. If Abstract Art in New Haven is doomed to peter out entirely life here will not be worth living. We had hoped that Abstract Art and County property would have been allowed to stay for ever linked together, a pleasing and improving spectacle to all ages, even as Chang and Eng were to the age in which they lived. But if the connection is to be cut by the sharp knife of the law there can be no such spectacle. The more delicate one of the joined twins will surely die, and while County prop erty may continue to exist its existence will be devoid of the grace and beauty which would have been its had Abstract Art been permitted to remain joined with it.
 Alack! Alas! And Welladay! And also Humphl What degenerate times are these. What pity that the Reg ister could not keep its discovery to it. self. If it had not published to the world the story of the vital connection between Abstract Art and County prop erty it's discovery might have been harmless, or, mayhap, greatly benefl- cial. But the telling of it has done ir- mischief. Unfortunately there are those in New Haven who have no of the fitness of things. They cannot see as the Register seeth Sc they slosh around in the holy of ho- lies of Abstract Art and prate about 1 the convenience of men. And they do not even consider the convenience of dogs.

As to Figures.

The journey was long and the old lady with the plaid shawl thought to beguile the time by a conversation with the tailor-made girl who sat with her.
 Tive in the city?" asked the old lady.
 "Yes. Work there," answered the girl, and said nothing more.
 Might ask what you work at?"

 This seemed discouraging, but the old lady plucked up her nerve and asked:

rendered an indifferent one actually grotesque, are now cut with such exac- titude, and adjusted smoothly over closely fitted Things, that one can only admire them as most becoming and useful adjuncts of the toilet. With many women the corsage becomes worn and somewhat passe while the skirt is still in good order. The latter can therefore do double service if a pretty blouse is worn alternately with the bod ice proper of the costume, and 1t affords a welcome relief to the eye.
 With dress of lustrous black cord ed silk or satin, cerise velvet blouse with folded fronts and slight opening in the neck makes an evening gown which is sufficiently dressy for dim ner, the theatre, and similar occasions. Very effective too are those composed of handsome wine or cherry brocade overlaid with wide black velvet ribbon, forming stripes, or insertions of jetted lace. The soft folds above the waist are held in place on the left side by a glitering buckle or large rosette. For slender waists folded band and buckle are preferred, which should never be indulged in by those inclined to stout ness. Another suggestion to them is to elongate the bodice of the gown cut en princesse, by bands inserted in the side seams and meeting in the front three or four inches below the waist line, thus confining the full portion of the dress, as is often done in dress ing gown. A simulated band of em- broidery or long pointed Vandykes in Jet or silk applique can be used for this purpose.

KEEP AN EYE ON THE ,T4p1NESE The Japanese are licking China and
 threatening Great Britain. When they get all the matters they now have on
 hand attended to they may turn thei1 attention to this country. Representa- tive Caminetti of California thinks they will, and in order to get ahead of them if possible he has framed a bill which is quite like the Chinese ex-
 clusion act, Caminetti says that the Japanese are more dangerous than
 the Chinese. They work for lower
 wages. They wear American clothes,
 learn our language, conform to our
 customs. They get ahead with an
 alarming rapidity. "The coolie who
 works on a farm to-day will own a
 farm tomorrow" says Caminetti land
 by employing his own people and liv-
 ing on next to nothing will be able to
 undersell and ruin the white agricul-
 turist." Some of the California papers agree with Congressman Caminetti
 For instance, the San Francisco Bull
 letin, which thinks that the new treaty
 will have the effect of bringing Japan ese to this country in increasing num- bers. It remarks: It is also fact that they are coming to California in throngs. They are underbidding and. displacing white men and women in field, shop and home. Like the Chinese coolies they are enterprising, quick to adapt themselves to new conditions, and will soon threaten the interests of employers as well as employees. Accustomed to work for ten cents day in Japan, they will eagerly come here for higher wages, and every sur plus dollar they earn will go to Japan. No one should make the mistake of assuming that Japanese coolies are not likely to become an important factor in our industries if an opportunity is left open for them. We have been flooded with Chinese in times past, but they all came from q single province of Southern China. Japan is a more popu- lous empire than any in Europe, except Russia. Its last census gives it over fl, 100000 inhabitants. Much of Japan

F1ISHION NOTES.

The liking for draping theater and other dressy bodices with chiffon Is very general just now. Some use net or illusion, but chiffon is preferable Don't try to buy the expensive kind
 Get it as cheap as you can, for it does not last anyhow and is too delicate to stand cleansing. As it is only pretty while it is fresh, it is better to have it so cheap that you can afford-if you can afford to wear it at all--to use 1t only once or twice. The effect of the fashion is not becoming to plump fig ures, but what of that The slender girls profit thereby, and the plump ones go right on, regardless.

The state of Kansas can boast of the only silk filiature in the United States. It is a state silk station at Peabody,
 where ten reels are operated. The business of the station is to supply silk worm eggs free to all applicants. The cocoons that are raised from these eggs are purchased at the rate of S1 per pound and reeled in the filature. Not very many persons obtain eggs from the station and raise cocoons, but those who do make from $40 to $10o each spring for the six weeks work required, The raw silk from Kansas grown cocoons is the best in the world, according to one of the leading importers in this coun- try.
