Defraudsd BY III: Concerns.

State Insurance Commissioners Albert
c. Landers has through Attorney General
K. c. Dubois filed a complaint against
the Security Mutual Fire insurance Com
pany. doing business in this city and
also one against the Citizens Mutual Fire
Insurance, another local concern. Tho
complaint states that both companies are
SO managing their affairs that the public
is in danger of being defrauded and that
the companies are insolvent. Tho insur-
ance commissioner therefore prays that
they may be enjoined from further exer-
cising their franchises. Chief Justice
Matteson today ordered citation issued
In each case.
Both companies are something over tive
years old. The Security Mutual In Janu-
airy, 1894, obaine1 a charter from the
General Assembly of this State under the
name of the Cranston Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Company and at the following May
session its name was changed to the pres
ent one. The Citizens Mutual was
chartered in May, 1894.
The Security did large business and
its present condition is due, as is that
of the Citizens, it is claimed, TO excessive
losses and inability to collect premiums
that became due. Both companies did
business in states that they were not
authorized by law to- enter. and tn
parties owing the premiums having re
fused to pay, the companies could not
collect at law ing to the fact that their
agents were not empowered to do BUSH
ness where the parties refusing to pay
resided.
John G.. Hanrahan is secretary of the
Security Mutual Fire Insurance Company
and Arthur O'Lesry Of the Citizens
Mutual Fire Insurance Company.

from the many improvements proposed
those that the present condition Of the
state demands and for which it can pro-
vide. The best economy in all state
affairs is urgently demanded. To fail,

THE REVISION OF RULES.
Chairman Remlinger OF the committee

committee Oh public institutions is a
new one, and the arrangements OF the
committee nave Deen changed.
A much needed reform is suggested in
the shape Of daily calendar of business

the rights of admission TO the floor. The
latter are designed to prevent lobbyists
from getting farther than the cloak room.
The fifty-four new rules, called for by
the revision were taken up in their order

SOME OF THE NEW HATS.

There are plenty Of picture hats
among the new styles, and the tulle
ties and loops come in nicely as artistic
additions to the costume. You can
have tulle ties on any kind Of hat 1t
Is not necessary to have bonnet to put
them on. Gre en- and violet tulle are
the prettiest co8ors. An exquisite little
hat Is made Of yellow straw-straws,
was going to say, for the hat Is a pecu-
liar arrangement OF little straws, SET
side by side with violet at the end,
forming an edge Of violets all around
the brim. Tulle loops almost conceal the
crown. Another dream dream seems
an especially appropriate term for a
tuile hat) has a combination OF two
shades Of green tulle. There Is aDso-
lutely nothing on the hat-a round
black straw-but some stand-up fr1lis
of light and dark green tulle around the
crown. Almost anybody can nave d
hat like this. All that is necessary TO
do is to buy an untrimmed hat ana
cover 1t over with tulle. A flower OF
two to stand up at the back or at the
left side of the front is a great addition.
The tufts ties are knotted in large DOW
under the chin. Flowers underneath
the brim are set at the back where most
of the hats turn up. In the case OF
nose hats" hat tip down over the race
the brim is not always bent up at tne
back, but instead the whole hat is prop
ped up, as it were, with bank OF now
ers and ribbon. Small button roses are
very pretty for the bandeaux under the
brim. A hat that made its first ap'
pearance on Easter Sunday had Ores

THE DROPPING SLEEVE.

The sleeve is at present the most i'm
portant part of a gown, and well 1t
may be, when 1t requires as much, IL
not more, material than the skirt.
At the beginning of the season the
cry "down the large sleeve" was
heard in every quarter. But once more
has Marie Antoinette lost her sway, for
the sleeve of her reign has not been &C
cepted by the great middle classes.
That the sleeve of lie petite Trianon
has modified the present mode there
can be no doubt, however, for the
sleeve of to-day is. pre-eminently
dropping and draped, without any OF
the stiffness of the past season, which
made 1t stand so arrogantly about
our shoulders.
Many gowns have sleeves which are
pulled here and there above the elbow.
A pretty idea for chiffon sleeves is to
have them caught down with. tiny
sprays of artificial flowers to match the
gown In color. Others are fastened
[. with choux of the material.
House gowns have puff sleeves that
end lust below the elbow. In decided
contrast to them, sleeves for promen'
ade gowns are very long, with CUTS
that conceal the greater part OF the
hand

COMPLEXION HINTS.

Oycrfreauent washing of the face
should be avoided. Some physicians
insist that the face should be washed
but once day, and then in tepid water.
A certain amount of exercise is indis-
pensable. Brisk morning walks, regu-
larry taken and persistently adhered to,
produce healthy glow that defes ar
tificial imitation.
Avoid rich and greasy foods. Though
tits practically useless to tell-a woman
to abjure sweets, 1t may be suggested
that they are complexion destroyers,
and that the fewer one eats the fairer
one's skin is likely to be.
Massage is recommended by many
who have made a special study of the
iine AIT of complexion-preserving. A
eontle kneading of the face at night
and in4he morning makes the skin soft
and lthy
Fa13o1ss beautles nearly all unite in
giving testimony thata thorough steam
ing OF the: face at nightas wonderfully
serective In producing clear complex
ion. This is done, by holding the face
over .bowf Of hot water.

Reform is said to be one of the OBJ
jects OF punishment, and if the GRIM
inal has really repented and reformed,
he should be given another chance.
My wife was commenting. on that
little chair that was the poor mothers
token of her dead child and that re-
minded her OF little workstand that
the yankees took from her and carried
off. 1t was a beauty and was made
specially for her twenty fourth birth
day and she has lamented its loss all
these years. Forty more years have
passed, aud now she has another birth
day, and all that / had to give her was
a morning kiss on her brow and .
white rose in her raven hair and to
wish her long life and happiness and
that her last days might be her best
days. God grant that no affiiction OF
calamity may befall herl Her absent
boys wrote her loving letters, and as she

You are fat and you are rich in your
posterity, and you are not old-not near
as old as am. Why notsay their rich

But numerous grandchildren and
more coming does make an ancient

III A QUEEN, WHY NOT A PHYsI.

position to admit women to the exam

could be queen why could she not be

women examined for degrees at the
University of London ranked as high
as the men, and Sir William Broadbent
reminded the committee that since wo-

better for the public that they should

THE SECRET OF ART.

Felix says American dressmakcrD
make better dresses than the French
dressmakers, put better material into
them, fit them just as well, sew them
better, and then, he says, spoil them by
too much sewingAtoo much Of what
can't translate better tnan by calling IT
s.cut and drIedness." The French study
effects, and let the details take care OF
themselves. But they pay great deal
of attention to details Of one sort, II not
those of another. The Frenchwoman
does not care whether the stuff Is cheese
cloth or satin, side-plaited or gathered,
so long as it makes her look we'll put
she dotes on having her lingerie, her
gloves. her shoes, her wells, her entire
outfit, perfectly au fat.
The French mind adores elegancies.
II goes into raptures over its own de-
vices in garnitures. French workwo-
men like to do decorative work in dress
making. but they hate to finish the IN
side of a bodice as our American dress
maker feel that they must finish thelr
work. Anyone who has ever tired to
make a hat or bonnet knows that she
not infrequently secures a good eiiec'
in the trial arrangement. and spoiis u
all when sewing is done by making Il

believe in much sewing, and by esehew
ing as much of it as they can' they &c

their own.

ciyiIizing the Savage.

Do the people of the country know OF
the work that is being done for the In
dams at the Carlisle, Penn, Industrial
School? But it is grand work which
will tell in future years. This school
has Just had its commencement exer-
cises, and they tell the story Of what is
being accomplished. Certainly, the one
fact alone that there are here upward
of 800 boys and girls of an alien and
savage race, striving as best they may
to learn the secret of the white mans
civilization, is enough to stir the most
sluggish imagination. Let US note a
feature or two. There is the outing
system, and it's success has been phe-
nomenal. Immediately after the COM
mencement number Of the boys and
girls Of the school are put on farms
throughout Pennsylvania for the
spring and summer. There is steady
demand for them as farm helpers, and,
as rule, those who thus employ them
are quite ready to repeat the expert
ment. The advantages to the Indian
boys and girls Of being thus surround
ed with the influences of Christian
home are great. They learn how white
people live, and at the same time are
able to earn a little money for theni-
selves-about $4,000 in the aggregate
each season. Instances like these
could easily be multiplied. There are
| girl graduates of the school earning
from $12 to $50 as stenographers, and
| one is in the publication Office of a Chi
ago daily newspaper. The success OF
the pupils in mastering English is re-
| markable, when all things are consid
cred. Perhaps it is too much to hope
for a solution of the Indian problem
even in these days, when there are 81
many earnest men ready to solve any
problem by writing book about Il
which everybody admires and nobody
reads. But it is certain that schools
| like Carlisle come nearer to solving
it than any other known agency. 1T
method is to take the Indian label of
the indian problem stop looking at i
by itself, and make it part of thu
larger problem of civilization which thu
whole nation is set to solve. And b.
this way alone will it be possible t,
bring the Indian up to the plane of hi
highest possibility. All grandly done
Captain Pratt! May every success at
tend this splendid institution for the up
lifting of people Of the Indian race.

HOW SHE STOOD.

The Greek woman stood straight
which necessitated her shoulders over
her instep; this threw her hip line into
opposition. Women to-day do not have
correct hip lines because they throw
the shoulders over the heels, making
a continuous curve down the back 10
the heels. A shion-monger-it may
have been that strange incongruity
of harmony and absurdity, Worth
thought he would like to have some
women with oppositions or Greek
lines, so he invented the much beloved
but now discarded hustle, and inaptly
called it the Grecian bend.
