STRONG COLORs IN WALL PAPER
A Reaction Against the Delicate Shade
SO Long In Favor.

at seems to be in the air" says the
woman who has been investigating the
matter with view to spring renovat-
ing, "that wall papers are going to
take on decidedly deeper tint. In
every shop l have been shown paper
almost radical in colorlng aud to my
invsriable recoil haye been told that
these were slowly making their way
into decorations again. The dealers
say that the use of delicate shades has
been abused that they were intended
for certain styles offurnishings and for
certain rooms, but they we're soon
widely accepted, and every room in
every house was subjected to the same
wall treatment. AS result the ineY'
liable reaction has come, and, though
we are not to 60 back to the other
extreme, we are to use much richer
and darker colors than before"
AS compliment to this opinion
that OF writer in trade journal or
the same subject is pertinent: "Thi'
is an era of good taste. 1t is the pc
riod Of the golden mean between the
eccentricities of sunhower sensational
ism, of riotous vulgarity, and the
dreary daintiness Of Whitley timidity
1t is not only philosophic to use strone
eolors, but it is artistic, aesthetic anG
deightful-the climax of all things

Those understanding Bags.

Lavender bags, similar to those our
grandmothers used, are in vogue for
hanging in clothes presses. A good
rule for one is half pound OF lavender
flowers, one ounce of dried thyme and
mint, one spoonful of ground cloves
and one Of coarse salt; mix well
eagethsr, pat 10 a cheese cloth bag. 50
the mixture Ia not crowded, then make
a bag OF soft figured silk little longer
than the other with a broad hem,
and shirr at the top, draw in ribbons
for strings; place the bag in the silk
one and hang near my lady's gowns.
Another combination of sweets for
large sachets is lemon verbena steep
the leaves from ,the stalks and dry
quickly, add a little dried sweet clover,
some pieces of sweet flag root and a
few dried rose leaves make the inner
bag OF thin cloth, and for the outer one
use antique silk if you have it, some OF
grandmother's gowns or any loved
friend. Small sachets are much
in vogue and made of bits Of silk and
ribbon which one wishes to preserve

BOWS ARE COMING BACK,
Which Means That They Are Coming
Front Underneath the Chin.


The immense bows which women
wear on their necks always suggest the
unfortunate kittens who lost their
mittens or the hardly less celebrated
Frisky Speckums and Chsr-coals OF
the "Cars Arabian Nights" who
showed such talent for vocal music.
Women have worn bows At the back
OF the neck and on the side and now
they have got around to the front
again. They must be made Of some
thing soft and fluffy, like gauze or
mousseline de sole and then they may
be as large as you please. Kittens are
said to measure the space through
which they can crawl by their whis-
kers. If the whiskers tickle pussy
crawls back. Women Of the past sea
son have regulated the space necessary
for them to occnpy by the size OF Their
sleeves. Now II will probably be the
low which will gauge > woman'i
breathing space.

Reasons for Imprisonment in Cases of Vic

Reasons for Imprisonment in Cases of Vio-
lation of Prohibitory Laws.
To the Editor of the PRESS:
In a late issue you say:
The Belfast Jail seems to be free and
easy place. The riot which took place
there was caused by tramps, who had
been discharged, bringing large guam
tity OF liquor to traInps who were still IN
confinement. 1t would seem to be perth
nent to ask how it happens that tramps
have free access to the jail, and
it might also not be amiss to inquire
how tramps succeed in obtaining liquor
in Belfast so easily.
gard to the first part OF the item, except
that it was not necessary to charge the
tramps with being the parties who fur
nished the liquor.
Bat your last paragraph furnishes
good test whereby to hang an argument
to slow the necessity of restoring the
imprisonment clause to the law for
furnishing rumsellers. While there are
comparatively few rumshops in Belfast,
there are two which are notorious, and
are run open continuously. The county
tinuously for years, and dnring two
years past one has paid in fines $1,000.
and the other $500, and cases are
pending of nearly as much more. yet
still these men continue selling openly,
boldly and defantly, even while the
courts are in session, and sell enough
evidently to more than pay their heavy
fines, which thus are virtually high
license Now IT, these hardened crimi-
nails were Jailed they would not sell
rum, at least while so held, and the
chances are that they would be driven
out of the business.
The only amendment to the prohi bitory
law which is now needed is probably
that making imprisonment certain for
all second offences, and requiring county
attorneys to allege previous convictions
Fines continued and regular will close
up 80 per cent. of the rumshops. but there
is a 10 per cent. that only Imprisonment
will reach.

The Mayor of New York ought certain
~ to be given power in the present emer-
gency to remove all appointive officers
and appoint new ones. Without this
power the reforms that are needed can
not be brought about for very long
time to come Gov. Morton recommends
that he be given that power, but this
can only be done by the legislature.
But the legislature by electing to the
Speakership Mr.. Hamilton Fish, whom
Mr.. Platt few years ago charged with
selling out to Tammany, has shown
marked symptoms OF not being in the
right state of mind to accept Gov. Nor
toms suggestion. Let us hope, however,
that appearances are deceitful, and that
the election of MIR. Fish does not mean
that Tammany is to be tenderly dealt
with.

There seems to be no don bit that very
determined effort is to be made to de-
feat the income tax by refusing an APP
preparation for the expenses OF it's collec-
ton. Senator Hill and Quay are said
TO be at the head of it, and the latter is
reported to BIZ prepared to talk month
if that IS necessary to stave off action on
the bill. The possibilities Of defeating
action in the Senate in the short session
are great, under the existing rules, and
two OF three determined men with plenty
of staying power, unless the presiding
officer summary sits down on them,
can probably do it.

The legislature is organized, and as
soon as the committees are appointed
will be ready to proceed to business.
There is said to be an unusually strong
feeling among the memb ers in favor of
reducing the length of the session to
lowest possible limit compatible with
the proper transaction of the public
business. 1t is to be hoped that this SEN
timent will continue, for though the
sessions of the Maine legislature are
never very long, it is probable that they
are longer thar they need to be. Indeed
we are inclined to think if the legislature
should confine itself to matters of a
strictly public character it's sessions
could be curtailed third, and perhaps
half. \ great part Of the time of every
legislature is occupied with private leg
;slaGion, which is entirely unnecessary.
Two years ago GOV. Cleaves called atten-
tion to this abuse and q commission was
appointed to devise measures to correct
it. This commission will report to the
present legislature, and there is little
ubt that it will make recommends

The government bias concluded to pay
no more premiums to the contractors
for the building of war vessels. THIS
will make a great cut in the profits OF
the builders, for from this source great
sums have come. The contract price of
the Minneapolis was $4,000, 900, but the
Cramps earned a premium OF 100000
upon her. On several 9th er vessels they
earned premiums almost AS large.
Very likely the contractors have bid
lower than they would but for the
chance of getting he premium, yet
there is no doubt but large part of it
In every case has been over and above the
cost, and therefore has amounted to a
gift. 1t is estimated that the amou n
the government has expended for premi-
ums would be sufficient to supply good
feet of torpedo boats. The contractors
are understood not to be opposed to the
change.

ant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation. This Is

this project in which local pride and local

Sheriff Palmer has given a significant in
dication of his idea of the duties Of his
position by his raid on the gambling re-
sorts over the river last night, which ap-
pears to have a complete success insofar
as the capture of property and the discour-
aGement of the industry were concerned.
The Sheriff received an accurate "tip" and
he followed it up promptly and with excel
lent judgment. According to the reports.
so quickly did the sheriff act that there
was no time for a word to leak out to the
gamblers and the keepers Of the resorts.
This leakage has been the usual fault in
the raids of the former administration Of
the office and the result was that few ar
rests and captures were ever made. A few
more raids like that of last night will soon
discourage the industry. and perhaps the
gamblers be shown that Virginia has be-
come hot spot. too hot for them, at least.

The recent experiences Of the people Of
Anacostia in the matter Of transportation
during the pending strike Of the drivers
Of the trannway connecting that community
with the CITY. point to the necessity of a
provision In the charters of the street rail-
way corporations that will cause a for
fixture Of their rights in case of a pro-
longed cessation of traffic and warrant the
authorities in preventing future operations.
There should be q penalty provided for all
attempts to resume operations after such
forfeiture, SO that tho Commissioners
hands may not be tied in the enforcement
of the law. A company that cannot or
will not operate its line and that lacks the
excuse Of the interference of lawless vio-
lence for its failure ought not to be per-
mitted to occupy the streets with its tracks.
The duty of furnishing transportation un-
interruptedly springs from the gratuitous
grant by the public of the use of the
streets.
