 To toss one's cap in the air in the presence of a Dundee bailie is evidently a very serious offence.

Whatever latitude may be allowed to judges, it is absolutely unsafe to intrust the aver- age magistrate with such power as that which Bailie Stephenson exercised in this nstance.-Loneon Truth.

standing where they will is all pre- tence, for all the upper ones are wired into carefully considered positions. Hats of this sort are made of fancy straw, with wide and slightly rolling brims of contrasting color and braid that are taken up in back and fastened against the low crowns with a full bow of ribbon. The same ribbon is then used for the bows in front, and the garniture Is completed with punches of roses placed at random.

Our Paris Letter.
[From Harperls Bazar.l ]


 The varnlshing-day of the Salon O.
 the Champ de Mars this year was a de
 llghtful occasion socially, although the
 usual great crowd of varndshing-da
 was distinguished by its absence. The
 omnibus strike probably had something
 to do with this, in spite of the fact that nobody ever confesses to taking omni- buses here. For four days only few lines of the public conveyances were running, and the few courageous nor tals who embarked on any of these had 1 the novel excitement of driving through the streets protected by gendarmes and members of the Republican Guard. The departure from an omnibus station l had something about 1t of the pomp of kings Opposite every one was a group of cuirassiers with arms drawn, and the streets, furthermore, were patrolled by the Garde Republicaine on their splen- did horses. The members of the sym dicate who were on strike had indulged once or twice in the pastime of throw ing stones at those of their comrades who were on duty, breaking the win dows of their vehicles, cutting traces, and otherwise adding to the interest of their drives, so that the united forces of gendarmes and soldiers were brought out to preserve order-or rather inspire terror, for the strikers poved tfem- selves a sufficiently harmless body in the end.
 Nearly every one wore a wrap of some sort at the Salon, for the weather was extremely fresh. The little collets that have already spoken about were much in evidence. Some of them were ex- tremely simple, not much more than fluffy side-pleating of mousseline de soie mounted on a. jet heading, with full ruche round the neck and long scarf ends tied in front. Almost the only de- cided novelty noticed was embroidery on linon for the fronts of blouses For instance, a gown of a lovely shaded blue crepon, light blue changing into green, had the blouse front of the cor sage covered with this embroidery It was done with small black beads put on in pattern at the top, interspersed with larger amber beads, while strings of the small black beads came down to fasten into the blouse at the belt, giv- ing the effect of the loose strings that have been so much liked this winter. Another novelty I noticed was white embroidery on dark blue. Much of that was worn. Little simulated jackets were entirely covered with it, and fin- ished with rolling collars embroidered in the same way and 1t was used for trimming on everything dark blue. Tailor costumes of light cloth were very much worn. One that I saw had short godet coat opening over a vest of Pompadour silk, tied with black ribbon at the belt. Late in the afternoon, just as we were coming away, few pretty taffetas made their appearance, dainty gowns with blouse fronts made of white batiste with insertions of yellow lace, with deep points of the same lace fall Ing from the shoulder seams over the sleeves. But there was but little dress at the Champ de Mars. Next week, with the 1st of May and the other yer nissage shall hope to have some start | ling new fashions to chronicle

The commissioner-in-chief of the ne- gro exhibit at the coming exposition of the cotton States, to be held in Atlanta, is out in manifesto in which he sets forth the extensive preparations that have been made for a great exhibition of the mercantile. manufacturing, ed- ucational and agricultural progress of the colored race. He tells us that there will be no discrimination against the colored people in the management of this exposition, and he adds that the negroes enjoy about all the privileges they desire in Atlanta, the only build ings in which they are not allowed to ride in the elevators being those which are owned and controlled by northern capitalists. This IS important if true.

The Berliner patent which the court of appeals practically sustained in its reversal of Judge Carpenters decision adverse to'its validity, may be attacked on another side. In the Bate refriger- ator case the supreme court decided that patent granted for an invention which had previously been patented fin a foreign country" shall expire at the same time with the foreign patent previously granted. Under this ruling three patents issued to Edison for mic rophones and which were owned by the Bell company, were invalidated al- though they were only issued in 1892, after having been in the patent office about fifteen years. These Edison in- ventions had been patented in Europe, and the European patents had run their course. It is claimed that the same invention is covered by thes- expired Edison patents that the Bec- liner patent is granted for, and i. is also claimed that patents were issued in Europe in 1878 for the Berliner in- vention, both to him and to others.

FELL FROM HIS ENGINE.

neer William Ferris. of Delaware, o.,
fell from his engine near Plattsburs
at = a. m. on the Big Four railway.
The fireman could not tell how long
he was gone before his absence was dis
covered, as the big boiler makes a par
ton in the cab of the Mogul. AS
soon as the engineer absence was die
covered the train was stopped and the
freight backed some distance to hunt
him The train took a siding and the
hunt was continued in vain. Finally
the train pulled out and arrived here
on time Tonight Ferris showed up at
Plattsburg and says the first he knew
of his whereabouts was when he woke
up in the woods two miles from the
tracks. He fell off accidentally anu
was evidently unconscious for some
hours. He was not badly hurt ana
cannot explain how he fell or how he
wandered away from the track.

AFTER GALLAGHER.

Have Done

some OF the local insurance men are
considerably worked up over the arti-
Gle in the G o b yesterday morning
concerning the new salvage corps and
members of the board of directors are
replying TO the assertions of Matt Gal
lagher in decidedly vigorous tones.
{. W. Sexton, the president. saws that
Gallagher IS sore because he was not
hired to organize the corps. We didn't
ask Mr. Gallagher's assistance. hence
his structures. says Mr.. Sexton.
He at one time threatened to sue US
Tor breach of contract but thought BET
ter OF II later On. He says that not one
cent has yet been raised from the COM
panies- I am prepared to prove that
good many cents have been raised. I
also wish to add that il has only been
by great care on our part and the court
esq Of the insurance companiesthat we
have been able to RAISE anything. Tn
der the law we cannot force the in
surance companies to pay before Feb.
l next, but we have arranged with
most of them TO begin their payments
at once on the quarterly PLAN
Jacob Stone, a director of the asso-
citation, also has something to say on
the subject
In your article in this mornings is
sue, he said. regarding the Minneap-
OILS Fire Patrol and Salvage corps.
there are some statements which JUS
tee 10 all demands correction of:
In the first place, it should be borne
IN mind that TO start properly the ma
chinery necessary for the proper crea-
ton and maintenance of a salvage
and fire patrol corps is not the work of
a day or week. The creation and i'm
position OF an additional direct tax of
per cent on the premiums of all fnsur-
ance companies doing business in this
city IS not likely to be entirely free
from obstacles, as the MINNEAPOLIS
Board OF Underwriters have discov-
cred Inc directors, as a body. are do
ing their best to bring about the end
desired, viz: The equipment and main
tenance of a patrol and salvage corps
OF which Minneapolis may well be
proud.
Without an advance of one cent
from any Of the insurance companies
expenses of some $500 have been met bv
the voluntary advances of the indi-
Vldua1 members Of the associa ton.
Surely such an action should place
the doings of this corporation beyond
any criticism and prove a guarantee
that all is being done that can be done
for the furtherance of the interests of
the Minneapolis Patrol and Salvage
corps"
