Tight lacing, says the London

gone out in smart circles. The
well-dressed woman of to-day sees
no fascination in wasp-like ap-
pearance in fact, she considers it
bad form, and the best modistes
also hesitate to build gown upon
such a figure, knowing we'll that
rounded waists and full chests are
the true type of beauty.

To Make a Good Whitewash,

For a good whilewash for your
bedroom ceiling, says the Ladies
Home Journal, put a piece of lime
weighing about five pounds in a
granite pan or bucket; pour on it a
gallon of water, allow it to boil and
slack until the steaming is over !;
take from this two quarts of the
liquid lime, put it in a wooden or
granite bucket and add sufficient
water to make it rather thin. Add a
small amount of pure indigo, suff-
cient to give it the proper color !;
add teaspoonful of salt and half
teaspoonful of lampblack; stir
we'll. This will give you perfectly
white ceiling. If you wish it colored
add one of the colorings which you
may purchase of any druggist, stat
ing that it is to be used with lime.

The Friedrick der Crosse Makes a
Great Voyage.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16, 1S97-The North
German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse, Captain Engelhart, from Bre-
men and Southampton, was sighted east
of Fire Island at 11:27 this forenoon, bound
in. The Kaiser Wilhelm left Southampton
November TO- and is only about two hours
behind the time made by her on her great
record breaking trip, when she made her
maiden voyage in September, in days 22
hours and 25 minutes.
This is a very creditable performance in
view of the fact that the Atlantic liners
have been coming in within the last few
days greatly behind time, in some cases
over a day late, in consequence of the
great westerly gales that have been
sweeping the Atlantic.
Messrs. Oelrichs & Co. have made the
following announcement regarding visit
ing the steamers -"visitors will not be
admitted on board the Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse on Tuesday and Wednesday,
but will be permitted to inspect the
steamer on any day after Wednesday on
payment of an admission fee of 25 cents,
for the benefit of the Seaman's Fund of

On Majority Rule.
Especial to "The Jersey city News. y

Especial to s'The Jersey City News."l
TRENTON, Nov. 16, 1S97.-The argument
for a recount of the rejected ballots of the
special election held in September for
amendments to the constitution, was con-
cluded today before Justices Van Syckel,
Dixon and Collins.
Ex-senator Edwards was assisted by
Allan L. McDermott and Attorney General
Grey appeared on behalf of the State.
The latter opposed the granting of rule
for recount The Attorney General made
the point that the matter was closed
with the issuing of the Governor
proclamation and that the court was
powerless to interfere. Also that no per-
sonal rights were invaded and that the
prosecutors had no standing in court.
He said that it would be bad policy to
open the question at this time as the bal
lots had been taken out of the boxes and
could easily have been tampered with
since.
Mr.. McDermott argued that the Court
had the power to interfere and enforce the
constitutional provision, that majority
should rule, in the matter of election
He also raised a new point that, accord
ing to the constitutional provision, an
amendment to be adopted must be ac-
cepted by majority of those voting
