The postponement of the case for
three weeks does not seem to be a
matter of vital importance 10 either
side, and the agitation as to who is
responsible for the postponement is
of no special weight except so far as
it charges bad faith somewhere. We
have given the allegations of both
sides, and leave the public to judge
for themselves as to the merits of the
controversy.
The case will be called up on May
a4th. and Judge Ermentrout of Berks

many of them only few days from Paris.
OF course they can't be described; that's
WHY it's absolutely necessary for you to
come and see them. No two are alike.
They are in plain, checked or fancy silks,
some in exquisite brocades; and there are

cream or black, are more lavishly used lor
trimming than ever. The trimmings also
include ribbons, jet and velvet; one OF
the most beautiful effects is that OF insertion
over colored grounds.
One Of the features Of this collection is fine
waists in black They are lace, ribbon or
crepe trimmed. Some suitable for mourn
