The Nfohammedan fanaticism which

The Mohammedan fanaticism which
prompted the outbreak of the Bedouins
at Jeddah in the assault upon the ELL
ropean consular representatives, on ac-
count of the sanitary measures taken
for the care of the Pilgrims to Mecca, is
likely to serve an excellent purpose in
the interest of Christian civilization in
Armenia. Until this assault occurred
the Sultan had plausible reasons for his
position in declining foreign interfer-
ence in the government Of his Chris
tian provinces; but this IS such flag
rant insult to the representatives of the
three Governments-Russia, France
and England-that his turbaned majes-
ty will quickly be brought to real
ization of the necessity of taking such
action as will relieve the Christians in
Turkey from tue intolerable tyranny
to which they have been subjected, up
on the united demand of these powers.

and soft folds of lace or gauze. Some
made for shade have floating scarf OF
fine tulle or other delicate fabric,
which renders a veil unnecessary.
Wings for trimming are wider, and
spread themselves out toward the
sides, where folded ribbons and clus-
tiers of flowers are massed, and large
outstanding loops of broad taffeta rib
bon rear themselves. For bonnets,
toques and smaller forms of millinery
a high aigrette is placed to one side,
and coronet passes across the brow.
These coronets are formed of large
flowers, polnpons of straw, or choux
of quilted gauze or baby ribbons, and
with them bonnets and hats in simple
good taste are made, which contrast
pleasantly with the vulgarity of pres
ent fashions in general. The hair to
suit all these hats is worn in soft
fringe or else waved, while the knot
behind is arranged in Henry II. or
1880 style. Some few fashionable
women have adopted the waved

THE COST OF JOY.

The cost Of joy is Joy; for in the sea ~
A brook no longer may an idler be; 3
The ocean lifts her ships and bears them
on
The cost of joy is joy; June brings the rosei
But clad in tears the violet springtime goes.
The rose Of passion with her hot, red breath
Is loves first silent messenger to death.
The cost Of JOY is joy; suns fright the moon,
The rainbow hope dissolves in truths high
noon;
To-day costs yesterday in heart and brain
Immortal life, the sum Of earthly gain.

The leg.o'-mutton, however, except on

COLLARS OF LACE AND CHIFFON.

Style can afford to be simple. The
best skirts are cut quite plain, and the
sleeves show no tendency to increase
in dimensions. Probably the limit
was reached last winter in this direc-
ton. Many of the seasons dresses
have immense falling collars of lace or
chiffon, straying out to either side
over the shoulders, even to the utter
most limits thereof. These opaulettes
accompany quite frequently the high
choker or stock collar, which hos
held its own so long.

FOUR ON EACH SIDE.
Rumor of a Tie in the Supreme Court
on rth, 1ncOme Tax

Numor OF Tie in the Supreme Court
on the Income Tax
Washington, April 4.--There was a re-
vival yesterday of the first rumor that
was in circulation after the close of tho
arguments in the income tax cases,
which was to the effect that the eight
Justices who sat on the bench during the
arguments were equally divided-four
being in favor Of sustaining the law and
Tour being in favor Of declaring 1t to be
unconstitutional There does not seem
to be any more substantial foundation
Tor this rumor than those that have
preceded 1T, but If it should prove to be
correct it might explain the delay OF
the court in announcing the decision.
for it is part of the rumor that the JUS
tices are extremely reluctant to allow
the case to rest in this way. and are
trying to find some method of bringing
about rehearing, with a full bench il
possible, though it seems to be prob
able that Mr. Justice Jackson. the mem
ber Of the court who was absent, will
be able to occupy his place on the bench
soon again. If the court should be
equally divided and the case should
not be reheard the practical effect
would be the reaffirmation Of the de-
cisions of the court below. as this is
the rule which applies in the case Of
tie vote in the court. AS the courts
below affirmed the constitutionality Of
the law 1T would stand under such cir
cumstances. The court would natur-
ally be very reluctant to allow a case
or such Importance, involving as it does
many millions of dollars and the con.
struction of the fundamental provision

Income Tx Returns.

Washington, April 4.-The income tax
returns are coming in far beyond the
expectations of the officials. It is es-
tlmated that the returns made to the
collectors prior to March 80 represent at
least $l,5OO,000 in income tax, and it is
expected that at least $4,000, 900 will
nave been collected by June l, the close
OF the fiscal year. The officials do not
express any doubts that the Supreme
court will sustain all of the important
features of the law, if not the entire act
as 1t stands, and are pushing the work
as rapidly as is consistent with accur-
acy.

London, April 4.-The Butter associa-

1t is remarkabl fact that the compe-

the legislature can not delegate. The
court answers that the mulct law is
general law, applicable to all communi-
