Gov. Morton arrived from Albany last night
and will consult with Thomas c. Platt and OF her
Republicans to-day as to the appointment Of
Alderman Olcott as District Attorney in place
of the late John r. Fellows. There seems to be
little doubt Of the appointment OF Mr.. Olcott. as
all other candidates have cleared the track to
make way for him. The Republican leaders in
tho several Assembly districts met last night Mt
the county headquarters in West Thirty eighth
street. and by unanimous vote adopted a resolu-
tion favoring the appointment of Alderman
Olcott
Mr.. Ocott's successor in the Board of Alder
men. In case of his appointment as District
Attorney, will be chosen by the remaining
members OF the Board. Tho majority OF these
are Tammany Hall men. but 1t Is understood
that they will agree to nnme a Republican for
the place because the district Is Republican, but
chiefly because his Tammany fellow membe
in the Board have a great personal liking for
Alderman Olcolt, and would llko to regard his
wishes In tho matter. II In doing 80 they do not
disturb the cor troll OF the Board by their poIti.

LUXURIOUS EUGENE.
Under Her Rule Paris Became a Scene of
Extravagant Fairyland.


There was sort CT intoxication in
the very atmosphere Of Paris, fever Of
enjoyment-a passion for constant
amusement, for constant excitement,
and among women for extravaganza in
dress. This was encouraged by the
court, with the intention of giving an
impetus to trade and Of gaining popu-
larity by favoring constant festivities,
and consequently constant expense. In
the days of Louis Philippe there had
been great moderation in all matters Of
luxury; the king and queen were aged,
sensible and economical the young
princesses were kept within rigid bounds
by example above them. But when the
emperor came to the throne, after a
period Of revolution and consequent
commercial stagnation, he wished to
revive trade, and also to give the pres
tige of splendor to court which so
many did not seem to take in earnest.
His beautiful wife, suddenly raised to
supreme position for which nothing
in her previous life had prepared her,

Everything that she wore suited her
admirably. Others tried to initiate her.
and the general tone became raised. She
had the art of constantly choosing some
thing new and unusual, which attracted
attention, so that, instead Of being sat
isfed with conventional types of silks
and satins, which formerly had been
considered sufficient for all occasions,
every one tried to invent something diff
ferent from others and to improve upon
what had been seen before. Consequent
ly, not only in dress, but in all matters
Of taste and luxury, there was an eager
struggle to outvie Others, to reach

Book Muslin Gowns.

"Book muslin" the old fashioned
name for summer textile once en-
blematic of dainty girlhood, has not
been used for gowns for so long time
that it comes to US almost as q novel
material. 1t is a sheer and delicate
fabric, and where economy and dura.
bility are concerned it outlasts half a
dozen tulle, chiffon or mousseline de

mediocre quality. A white embroidered

Sunshine and women's Hair.

1t is said that women's hair is becom-
ing more beautiful in color every year
and is also growing thicker and longer.
This is said to be due to the small, light
bonnets we all have so often abused.
Certain it is that air and sunshine
improve the texture and color of the
hair. Sun bleaches the hair, and Vene-
tian beauties always dried their ruddy
locks in the sun, thereby getting that
tint so much admired called Venetian
red. That lace hats are fashionable
this summer ought to be welcome news
to those who care about plentiful golden
locks.
OF course sunshine will not bleach
dark hair, but it gives deeper color to
all kinds of tresses and will brighten
dull, brown hair. Hardly any man pass
es 40 without bald spot, yet women
of 60 often have plentiful and beautiful
hair.
The reason surely must be that they
do not wear the light, unventilated hats
poor men are forced to do. Indeed, see-
ing that women go in for crownless
bonnets, why can't men be content with
q hat rim New York Ledger.

She Got Her Check Cashed.

Mrs. William Maydenbauer of Seattle,
Wash, is a woman who deserves to go
down to posterity as one with an admir-
able sense of humor. She became known
to fame in the following manner: One
day she entered the First National bank
and presented to the cashier, one Turner,
newcomer in the city, aproperly drawn
check. Mr.. Turner demurred at paying
it because he did not know her. He in
formed her that she would have to be
identified She looked up and, discover
ing that a stranger was waiting on her,
remarked succinctly:
"Well, sir, if any Identification is
necessary, you are the one to be identi-
fed. 1 have lived here all my life and
never saw you around here before.
The cashier cashed the check.
