again, when does woman's arm look
so we'll rs when she stretches it, but,
while with the other hand she pulls up
that horrid glove. Indeed, these
gloves take the place of the lorgnette,
the fan or the scarf. 1t has always
been essential that the woman of
fashion shall have something about
her costume that she may prune and
prlnk. The graceful scarf gives her
every chance for pretty movement OF
the handsome shoulders, for delicate
waving Of the head and bending OF the
neck and for graceful swaying of the
body to meet the lingering folds.
The lorgnctte is not nearly so good
sproperty" as the scerf, but it
serves. The hand, wrist and arm may
grace themselves with thousand
pretty tricks iu the use OF this weapon;
and there is such chance to bend the
head prettily on the neok. The eye
brows get their chance, too, so de-
cidedly the lorgnette has its uses
further than as something to look
through; but just now the long gloves
are favored over both these acces-
sories.
Sleeves that demand just such gloves
are put into the dress to-day,
and the whole is very swagSer out

Down the front Of the skirt and in two
strips at either side are bands of inser-

slightly full, gathered into yoke ano

in the front and back are perpendicu-

sleeves are very full puffs of the mate

A STUPENDOUS FEAT.
Reclaimina $50 Square Miles of
Land Now Under Water,

One OF the most stupendous feats
in engineering which the world has
ever seen is proposed by the people of
Holland, being nothing less than the
reclamation of the waters submerged
by the Zuyder Zee. The scheme, if
carried out will result in recovering
about 750 square miles of land now
under water and will add q new prov
ince to the country. 1t is estimated
that the work will cost over $780,
600, 600, and will require 33 years of
constant labor. The Dutch Govern
ment has recently received favor
able report on the plans from the
Roval commission appointed to look
into the project, and it is re ported
that the government and many OF the
leading citizens of Holland consider
the scheme practicable. In the ex-
pausion of territory, in the increase
Of trade and agriculture, and in the
giving to thousands of people the OPP
portunity of profitable employment,
the project, though stupendous
and very costly one, will be one that
will recommend itself to most Hol--
landers.

amendment offered by Mr.. Bliss, Of
Delaware, to strike out the provision
which gave the court Jurisdiction of
cases involving the construction and
application of the constitution. Mr..

ment of all who had been consulted
about the bill that this provision was
proper and ought not to be changed.
He thought constitutional questions
ought to be passed upon and decided
by the state supreme court.

ly with only seventeen votes against
1t. The measure now goes to the SEN
ates for concurrence in the amend
ments changing the title of the office
from custodian" to superintendent"

because as it is claimed 1t will save
the state $4,000 a year in the pur-
chase Of supplies for the departments.

Lockart, of PHILADELPHIA, superntend-
ent OF public buildings and grounds.
1t is believed that simultaneous with
his approval of the bill Governor Hast
ings will appoint Major John c. De-
laney, of this city, to the position which
it creates.
The order Of business at both ses-
sions of the houses was the considera-
tion of bills on second reading. Little
interest was shown by the members in
the proceedings and, as rule, the bills
went through without discussion.

MISTAKEN AND ILL-TIMED.
College Boys Arc Still Anxious TO Die Oh
the Ball GrOund-Thcy Acknowlcgc Wis
dom Of Faculty, However.

Boston, March 2O--Captain Arthur
Brewer, of the Harvard eleven, has this
letter in the Crimson today, regarding
the action taken yesterday by the fac
ulty of the college against football:
Whether last evenings vote of the fac
uty Is wise or not Is TO be seen in future
years; whether they have really acted to-
ward the prosperity OF our beloved college
remains to be proved.
For the present, at least. the deed is
done, and, as we think, perhaps, one of our
most manly sports has been torn from us.
But are we actually in a position TO queS-
ton the wisdom of this action? Stop a
moment and think; do we, as undergrad
uates only in this college, consider that we
can Judge with that judgment that comes
from experience? Is it not better to trust
to the foresight of our elders In expert
ence. at least; surely they realize the i'm
portance of the step they have taken, and
are willing 10 accept the result, which
they must sincerely believe will be only to
our advantage.
Is 1t not more dlscourteous to the fac
ulty, our intended benefactors, If we tear
to pieces their opinions and criticize them
piecemeal-we only undergraduates who
have scarcely reached our twenties? Sure
ly we are not so vain as TO believe that
they carry enormous weight with them.
Let 1t be for others to criticise let 1t
be for those who justly believe themselves
capable; but let us at least prove our
selves gentlemen, courteous and manly.
tsigned A. ~ Brewer.
The editorial in the Crimson also eX-
pressed the same idea that since there
is nothing to be done the best way is
to submit I'm peace 1t. however, sticks
to its previous opinion that the action
is mistaken and Ill timed. -
New Haven Conn. March 20.-The
action of the Harvard faculty provoked
considerable comment at Yale today.
The Yale News, in response to a
query from the Harvard Crimson, has
been gathering opinions from Yale
athletic leaders who express their deep
regret on the Harvard faculty action
in the football matter. The News will
say tomorrow that Yale grieves over
the apparent loss of the annual foot
ball game with Harvard, but that 1t
has no desire to criticize the wisdom Of
the Harvard faculty.
Professor Richards, of the Yale facul-
ty, said tonight that he was in posi-
ton to state that the Yale faculty had
decided not to place any restriction
upon the game. but to leave the matter
of revision of the rules to the students
and graduates.

volunteers for the defence of the
Union, and while serving as n lieuten-
ant he had the good fortune to attract
the attention of General Grant, who
adopted him into his military family
as his secretary; and in that capacity
he rendered important service. After
the war he continued to act as secre-

rendered another service by writing the
biography of his chief, and in the mean
while had been advanced to the office
of a brigadier by brevet, and was ap-
pointed consul general for Great
Britain. He retained that lucrative
position until March, 1881, when he
was appointed charge daffaires to
Denmark. That appointment he de-
clined, and in May, 1882. he was made
consul general at Havana, where he
remained until April, 1884. In May.
1869, he was placed on the retired list
of the army with the rank of captain,

THURSTON'S RECALL.
The Demand for tho Removal of the
Hawaiian Minister Now Appears to DC
an Assured Fact

Washington. March 20.--Now that the
demand Of the government for the re-
call of Minister Thurston appears to
De an assured fact. persons familiar
with the course of Hawaiian affairs in
congress express no surprise at the re-
suit Members of both houses, who
supported the policy of the administra-
ton. made no secret Of their dissatis-
faction with the alleged course of Mr..
Thurston in furnishing information to
the friends of his government for use
in debates. Secretary Gresham refused
to make any comment whatever on the
report concerning Mr.. Thurston's re-
call. The principle on which this gov
eminent is said TO have asked for Mr.
Thurston's recall was laid down by
Secretary Fish in 1871 in the case Of
Constantin CatacaZy, Russian ministe.'
whose recall was demanded by this
government principally because he was
the author or source of an article ap-
pearing in a New York newspaper ac-
cusing the United States of leaning
towards England as against Russia in
the then complicated aspect of political
affairs in Europe.
Mr.. Fish held that every government
has the right to have the representa-
tive OF another power an acceptable
person, and no government has the
right to expect of another the retention
of representative who INDUCES in
personal abuse of the head of the gov
ernment to which he is accredited as
Mr.. Catacazy had done.
After considerable delay Russia ac-
knowledged the principle, and Mr.. Cat
acazy went home on leave and failed
to return. Opinion Of such members of
the senate foreign committee who are
in Washington is divided on the ques-
ton of Mr.. Thurston's action. Some
believe that he was we'll within the
rights of his official position in giving
such Hawaiian news as he did to the
papers. and others believe he committed
breach Of grave improperly. and

his recall.
