Epring CoIors and Costumes Seen
In Gay Nice.
On Coach Tops and Along the Road
The Bonnet and Its Strings
Dresses Seen at the Casino
and the Promenade.
TCopyright. 1871

Nice-The day before l left Cairo a
party Of English people returned from
MP the Nile. 'How cold it is" they
shivered, while the rest of US were run-
ning away because it was too warm.
Perhaps, too, fear of the plague hur-
ried us q little. But in Nice 1 shiver in
my turn, and people who have been all
winter in the Riviera laugh and lounge
without wraps in the sunshine. Trav-
cling north from Egypt is like cooling
OF from a Turkish bath; you have to
take it gradually, and Nice is a fine
intermediate station.
The casino on this ietty and the
Promenade des Anglais are even gayer
than when 1 went away. The spring
colors are fresh and charming, and
the longer dresses, when you don't stop
to think of the inconvenience of them,
have a sweeping grace that adds to the
effect of the picture. Green and pink,

again, real bonnets with strings that

has brought them, or that is my theory.
The fashions of a season are all some
how based upon an ideal. One year it
is pastoral simplicity and we wear fiat
hats and skirts of embroidered mus
lin. Another year we are after dignity
and civilization, and we put on bon
acts and trailing gowns. Another the

Theories aside, here is a handsome

The Police of Syracuse Make an Im-

pOrtant Capture.
On Monday the 10Th Harold Marquisee, of
Utica, N. Y, was arrested in Syracuse, N.
Y, on a warrant sworn out by the DR.. Will
liams' Medicine Co., charging him with forg-
cry. On the 18th of December Marquisee
visited q photo-engraver in Syracusey say
ing he was the representative of the DR..
Williams Medicine Co., and arranged for the
making of a full set of plates for the direc-
ton sheets, labels, etc., of the famous DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. News
of this reached the nome Office, and no time
was lost in arranging for his arrest when he
should return for the plates. He returned
On the 18th, and was accordingly arrested
and is now in jail in Syracuse awaiting ex-
animation, which occurs on March I'd. .
This arrest proves to be an important
one. In addition to various plumber, such
as medical books, typewriters, rugs, etc.,
found in MarQuisee's trunk when arrested,
the police also found counterfeit coin both
in the trunk and on his person; n IN a
search of his apartments in Utica found a

ing of crucibles, bellows, nickel, lead
| bismuth, antimony, a small blacksmith
forge. O charcoal furnace, and several plas
ter-of-paris molds. The United States mar
shals want him just as soon as DR.. Williams
Medicine Co. are through with him, and, nc
doubt, he will be sentenced for a long pc
Rod.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink Pills fol
his counterfeiting operations, he showed his
knowledge of the proprietary medicine bust
ness; for these pills are in such great demand
that they are easily sold at any drug store in
the United States. His scheme was to work
the country druggists and sell his imita.
tions at a discount of from2 per cent. to 5 pei
cent, explaining the reduced price by the
fact that he had picked them up in small
lots and at a discount from dealers who were
o~verstocked, By working fast and making
long jumps, he would have secured many
hundreds Of dollars in a short time. The
proprietors, of DR.. Williams, Pink Pills are
most fortunate to have caught the rogue, be
fore he had fairly started, and to have thu:
kept these spurious goods out of the market

The public gardens attract almost as
many people as the sea wall, for the
anemones are in blossom. Under the
palms and pepper trees this morning an
English girl and her lover were stroll
ing, and she was in blouse and sailor
hat and fresh as her spring fxings.
Her skirt was a fine old rose serge,
made with three pfaits behind. Her
blouse was of grass linen limiting of
old rose. Last summer you would know
it was made-over old rose silk, but that
is not the idea this spring. The threads

could you desire? This silk-linen blouse
was made with skirts that rufaed about
the hips with the narrow belt of gold
braid. It was made bright in front by
embroidery in gold thread and pink
floss upon strips of grass linen. It had
quite full sleeves gathered into long
cuffs set with embroidery. A smart
little cravat tie finished the turn over
collar. The white sailor hat was rather
broader than last years and was fin
ished with a band of old rose and green
ribbon.
Coaching on the Corniche road is in
full swing and pretty gowns bloom on
the box seat constantly. One of the
hest and most novel so far was a fine
brownish yellow cloth, with skirt quite
straight in front, giving the effect Of

little in regard to the illness induced

became a fixed habit. Prominent physi-

many unsuccessful attempts made to

been acquired. Serious hemorrhages
set in. She then developed eye and ear
troubles. with many other disorders
with which she has been brought in
contact. This victim of self-inticted
diseases is an incurable invalid, al.
though she has been treated in many
hospitals.

WORK 81 LIE PREsIDENT.
DrudEery of the Chief Executive o.
the Nation.

AAC AAO
A president who should not carry
into the white house a relish for drudg-
cry, business habits of the incest dis
elimination, and a constitution of iron,
would be president only in name, even
as regards his more important duties.
His signature on the papers which he
is told will not otherwise be legal might
be as good as the custodian of his bank
account would require, but within the
meaning of the law it would be as often
as not a moral forgery. Yet no COM
plant should be offered on this account.
Presidents are made for better or for
worse. Such as they are in natural
faculties and strength, so they must
serve-some of them leaning on official
advisers and bureaucratic clerks in every
step they take; and some of them put
ting the stamp of their own ~individuali-
ty on the papers and acts which make
up an administration.
When a president-elect, facing the
chief justice, has repeated the constitu-
tional oath: 81 do solemnly swear hiatt I
will faithfully execute the office Of
president of the United States, and will,
to the best of my ability, preserve, pro-
tect, and defend the constitution of the
United States" he has in6entured hinl-
self for four years of the heaviest servi-
tude thatsever fell.to the lot of any
mortal. By comparison the "hired
man" talked about in the last canvass
would lead a pampered existence, and a
constitutional monarch is a man of
leisure. A president equal to his oath
is both king and premier; he reigns and
he rules; he is bowed down by the
crown of authority and is e~ncompassed
by the mantle of care.-C. @. Buel, in

A Jealous Sheriff.

A writer in the Washington Poste
states that in Arizona people have a
strong objection to serving on juries.
So do other people; but rarely is it nec-
essary to take such extreme measures
to secure a jury as in the following
Arizona ease:
A certain Judge in one OF the rural
districts, having occasion to try an inn
portant case, ordered the Sheriff to inn
panel a jury. When two days had
passed and no return had been made,
he sent for the Sheriff and demanded
to know why his orders had not been
obeyed.

got jest ten of 'em locked up in the Jail

mornin' arter the other two.n
