vAPOR LIGHT COMPANY DEFIANT.
Ordered to Discontinue It's Lights, 1t
Refuses and VIII Sue the City.

Regardless of the notice of the Board of
Works that it considered the contract for
street lighting held by the Sun Vapor Light
Company void and would refuse payment
for the light after Dec 81, the company
lighted its lamps as usual yesterday after
noon, and for few hours after the moon
disappeared the lights were burning bright
ly At the time the notice was given the
manager of the company said he did not
agree with the board as to the validity
of the contract and that he would continue
the lights and sue the city If HIS biiis were
not allowed. The question hinges upon the
validity OF a contract made by the Board
of Works and not ratified by the Council.
The city charter provides that ali contracts
such as this one shall be made by the Board
of Works, but shall not be binding until
they have been ratified by the Council
The gas contract for street lighting was
made at the same time as this one and
was not ratified. but when the error was
discovered 1t was ratified being considered
a reasonably fair contract by the present
adminiStra tiOu

The salesgirl at the veil counter has
some good ideas Buy wide enough
veil, she urges, always double width,
unless it is over close bonnet; buy a
good quality-the aimsy rags are the
most expensive in the end, and never
look well at any time of their service;
select one of fine net, with far-apart
small dot; the cross-barred meshes
make lines on the face that are exactly
like wrinkles, and the sprigged and be-
figured ones are equally unbecoming;
don't use an edged veil, 1t only makes
a thick look about the throat as all
wells now are gathered under the chin,
not left hanging free, and above all,
don't wear veil after 1t is torn; slit

APorHEosls OF NJ BRIDE.w would have been
an upheaval on three of the transporla-
ton lines. Mr.. Mcbride is still in quite
delicate health, and for time it looked
as if death would claim him. The mat
ter was kept very quiet in order not to
precipitate an explosion in the ranks of
labor. Now the leader is recovered,
and his first step was to discountenance
in toto the plans to strike carefully
matured by some of the local leaders.
The effect was to relieve much uncer-
tainty among capitalists. Mcbride is,
by the way, very poor man, and, de-
spite the apotheosis of him as a good
liver, reveling in good wine and costly
cigars, he has found the Office to which
he was so lately chosen anything but re-
munerative. Samuel Gompers, the
former incumbent of McBride's office,

society. Nothing has been said. it
seems, to anybody here, and the card
lnal himself does not know, it is said,
the source or extent of the gift. The
donation is likely to be coldly received
by the American hierarchy, who are
mostly inclined to urge gifts to institu-
lions in the United States, as the for
eign ones are able to take care of them
selves. The story comes to New York
direct from Rome that no more Amer
lean cardinals will be created during
the lifetime of the present pontiff.
This declaration. it further transpires,
has literally been forced from the
vatican, mainly through the influence
OF Cardinal Parocchi himself papal
candidate. Count and Countess de Cas-
tellane are expected at the vatican
about the time OF the cardinals visit,
but the fact has no significance, as the
count is to be made titular dignitary
of the Holy Roman empire, an honor
almost hereditary in his family, SO
