BosToN. March GA large proportion
of Massachusetts, towns held their annual
meetings yesterday. In the majority of
instances new boards of government were
chosen, and appropriations with which to
carry on public work made. Bornstable

to be used In connection with the normal
school located az Hyannis. Rockport's
water commissioners reported recon-
mendation, which was adopted, that tho
town treasurer be authorized 10 issue
$3.50 900 negotiable per cent bonds. One
of the most notable results Of the days
proceedings was Rovcrc's action In voting
no license by 10 majority. As a rule tho
appropriations show public appreciation
OF the growth OF the various communities.
and promise future improvement in
schools, roads fire and water depart
ments, otc. Comparatively few changes
on the liccnse question are 10 be recorded.

GreoT SLEEVE WITH TIGHT LINING


remember is that accuracy is the turning
point between n clumsy and a perfect
gown. The draped collar Is tho favorite at
present and Is made by having n stiff lin
ing and silken facing, with whatever is
used for the outside crushed or shirred
over tho outside. A small rosette may fin
ish the collar
Where there is full vest front effect
desired, or drapery of any kind arranged
on waist, the lining should be fitted and
finished to boning first and the rest done
after.
At the present moment the sleeve is the
distinguishing point of the Costume, and
IL is enormous 1t requires l a yards Of
81 inch goods TO make q pair of gigot
sleeves, and even then tho corners often
have TO be pieced, but that does not show
in the folds The lining to gigot sleeve
Is exactly like that to a loose coat sleeve.
The outside is to he gathered around the
top until it Is reduced to the size of the
lining and then the edges are overcast Mt
tho top and the rest pasted as usual, and
the seam taken up, and the wrist faced
and pressed. The diagram given here
shows an ordinary gigot sleeve. From
shoulder to wr~st in the highest part it
measures 80 inches and in width 3S. III 1t
has TO be pieced, the proper place to piece
II Is tho underarn part marked with
line Of X marks. If mousquetaire is de-
sired, the shape OF the upper part IL the
same, but the lower is cut two inches wild
er and six longer, and these gathered and
tackled along bring heavy wrinkles all the
way down. III the gigot sleeve has the up
per portion extending up ten inches from
the 90 marks and laid in fat plating
either knife or double box, covering the
shoulder seam and reaching to the collar
while the rest Of the sleeve is sewed in tho
usual style, It will be quite the newest
thing, This is very dressy with tho blouse
waists now so fashionable and gives tho
Garibaldi effect
Balloon puffs are much liked for home
wear, and they are made by gathering a
full piece of material TO a coat sleeve lin
ing, which has tho lower portion made of
the same or contrasting color. The yari-
alton in sleeves, however, are all based
upon the coat sleeve foundation and are SO
largely n matter of personal taste that IL is
not necessary 20 enlarge upon them. A
few general remarks may be made how
ever. The sleeves for'dress occasions may
bo of a number OF tulle or chiffon rufiles
over n foundation in coat form. The
light silks arc made I'm puffs four times the
length of tho upper arm and four times
the width of the sleeve lining. All this
fullnoss Is then draped up In rich folds,
enough TO bring 10 into partially rcasona
BILE dimensions. It requires nine yards of
"a inch silk for these puffs and one yard
for tho forearm pieces.

TOUCH TURKS.
Massacre May Follow Retire
ment of Commission.
Relatives OF Victims Dare Not Speak
OF the Crimes.

LONDON, March 5.-The Armenian cor
respondent of The Telegraph declares that
already the Turkish case before the COM
mission appointed to investigate the Ar
menian outrages has completely broken
down. The only matter not yet cleared
up Is the question of who is to be regarded
ms responsible for the massacre.
The fanaticism of the Mohammedans Is
growing, and threats Of massacre OF
Christians MS soon as the commission re-
tires are heard in Krapool, Van, Bitlis,
Moosh and Erzeroun These threats have
already been partially executed. Many
inoffensive Armenians have been wantonly
attacked and beaten, and even killed,
while their relatives were afraid to speak
lest worse fate befall them.
In the village of Tohiaik few days
ago. the Turks organized a mock repre-
sentation of Christ on an ass. The Chris
tians had the greatest difficulty in pre-
venting riot.
The correspondent declares that he
knows of at least 80 girls of Sassoun who
were abducted and distributed as booty
among Turkish soldiers and officers. The
greatest care is taken to conceal the names
of these victims.

AME RICANS IN CUBA.
Assume "a Creat Risk by Aiding Insur-

MADRID, March 5-In the chamber of
deputies yesterday Senior osma questioned
the government regarding the report that
Americans had been arrested In Cuba,
and in the course of his remarks quoted
from an interview published few days
ago with Manuel de Cespeder Quesada,
son of the revolutionary leader who was
killed in the last insurrectlon in Cuba.
Senior Groizard replied that advices re-
coiyed by the government showed that
three Americans had been arrested at
Havana and that the American consul
general had made APPLICATION regarding
them to the authorltiess Benor Groizard
further said that the government sup
ported the attitude of Captain General
Caleja. IL considered that the Spanish
American portfolio of 1877 affirmed no
protection To Americans who conspirod
against the government OF Cuba. Foreign
ers were subject TO the same laws as the
Cubans. except that they could only be
tried by the ordinary tribunals and not by
courts-martial.
