Schenectady, n. Y, Dec. ga serious
riot occurred this afternoon at Aqueduct,
four miles from this city, ON the Erie
canal, where 800 Italians are employed on
the canal Improvement. A body of $50
men from this city, who are unemployed,
marched down with guns, knives, clubs,
piczaxes, etc, carrying a red flag, and
compelled the men to stop working. The
sheriff and large force of deputies quell-
ed the riot and arrested the ringleaders.
Early this morning the mob attempted to
burn shanty where 50 workmen slept.
The city is full of angry Italians and
trouble is expected. Small pay and exces-

trouble.

Feathers and Satin Combs and Novel
ChiEnOns.
In Paris recently the art of head dressing
has been brought to such a point of i'm
portant perfection that rich women are
giving what they call diners de tetes. These
are elaborate dinings to which the feminine
guests come with their heads dressed in
historical fashion. From the time of Mir
lam the prophecies, to Nine. Recamier, or
the monstrous bandeaux OF the Empress
Eugene, wigs, powder, plumes, Jewels
scarfs, gold dust, and what not, are all called
to the aid of the colfeur's art, in building
these beautiful and becoming chignons and
the diners de tetcs have become as popular
Partisan functions as our book or poster
parties. Fancy hairdressing has not, how
ever, destroyed the French womans clever
ness at combing her locks in novel and
beautiful coiffures for ordinary occasions
and lately we have over from Paris the
arrangements OF hair destined to be fashion
able through the coming spring and sum
mer. The distinguished trait of all those
modes appropriate with evening gowns, Is
an absence OF the very tall feathers. This
has been cropped OFF in favor OF new shapes
of satin bows, that in haiIdressers parlance
are called satin combs. One OF these is
invariably placed at the back or front OF
every pile of hair after nightfall and the
comb is invariably glorihed by a jewel
decoration OF some sort. Leutheric, who
holds among neau uIeSsefs the PROUD posi-
ton Worth commands among dressmakeTs,
gathers the locks up exactly to the crown,
there he twists them softly and makes
J simple slip not, which leaves an outstanding
puff Below the remainder of the coil is
| turned into a small figure eight and then
on this he fastens a siX-lOoped satin bow,
its heart made OF large colored false

Below the crown the hair Is allowed to
| droop in a soft, baglike effect and an album
dance of curly bangs about, but not actually
| on the forehead. This is the coiffure Leu
! theric IN preparation for which the hair
| is ever so slightly onduled and small light
curls coaxed TO frll out behind the ears.
The next most successful chignon that
our modish women have copied from their
French sisters is the coifure ROmanoff,
! built with the hair drawn high. a wide
winged satin bow set across the base of
! the loops in front and a hinged jeweled
comb thrust in to cover the center OF he

brave a show. And IL the newcomer has
the entry TO some Partisan drawing rooms
she will meet women who look rather as II
garbed for a garden party than for the dis
cussion OF coZy cup OF tea on feDruaTy
afternoon.
Entertainments at this season generally
take the form of dinner parties, for which
demi toilet Is required. Satin or velvet
skirts with high bodices. in mousseline de
sole Is a fayorite combination. Sometimes
tiny bolero is added and almost invariably
a shaped belt or corselet. Married women
are beginning to patronize trains again but
girls here do not go in Tor the matronly ap-
pendage. Flowerod silks on white grounds,
with narrow satin stripes, liberty" satins
and taletas make up some OF the most charm
ing evening dresses designed this season tor
our girls A skirt OF one OF these fabrics
win do duty for a dinner or ball II made
with a high and a low bodice. The latter
are generally fashioned so as to come well
on the shoulders, either cut down in curve
back and front or square. Short sleeves are
made rather full and still deserve the name
of balloons but the material used is mostly
something transparent.
Industrious women who make their own
dresses will find the shaped belt most
convenient article OF apparel. 1t Is by no
means too difficult to make and nothing gives
more stylish appearance to toilet.
Flounces provide an easy method or renoVat-
ing a dress that has seen service. Wide
of gossamer or lace are put on with very
little fullness. Narrow hounces are gen
orally plated; group OF three on the edge
of the skirt and three more half yard
higher up is a favorte style. Light silks
look charming trimmed in this way, with
platings OF plain taffetas chosen to match
one OF the colors in the pattern. The art of
renovation is one by no means to be dis
dained In some respects the fashions of
the day deserve the epithet of extravagant;
nevertheless they admit Of various little
artifces, and the changes that have been
wrought within the last few months are
not of kind to render transformations i'm
possible. Those who have to cut their coat
according to their cloth need not fare so
badly. The suppression OF a breadth, the
pairing down of sleeves to present proper
tons works wonders, while the addition of
a few yards of frilling, some dainty bits of
lace a bunch Of flowers or a bow Of bright
ribbon provides the requisite touch of spring
like freshness prematurely demanded by
fashion KATE +. YAPP.

being added into which the fingers are slipped.
But on entering a room the cape is thrown
back or the coat unbuttoned so as TO expose
to view the delicate hnery beneath.
Even WRAPS are not exempt from the pre-
vailing tendency. Frillngs of mellow lace
are sewn inside. and large bows of bright
satin ribbon outside the collars of all the
new capes; cunning devices OF lace are de-
vised which combine winter warmth with
sprlnglike freshness of hue.
MILLINERY TENDENCIES.
But II is tho millinery that beats the rec
ord. Spring and summer blossoms are not
only layished on felt hats and velvet toques,
thrusting plumage into the background many
are made entirely of flowers, The palma
yiolets and the purple hyacinth toques,
trimmed with punches or sprays OF the same
flowers, have met with immense success
Other toques are formed of light puflings
OF tulle, In which chaplets OF roses nestle.

in. keeping with a time of year when the

WHOLESALE COMBINATIONS.
How UnruIy Boys Are Restrained
During 81 ReIiEious Ceremony.

During Religious Ceremony.
An extraordinary ceremony Is the con-
firmation by wholesale of the small boys in
the famous juvenile asylum of the Petite
Roquette at Paris. There are several hun
dreds of boys in the asylum; and as some OF
them have been wild and wayward before be-
ing sent to the Petite Roquette, consider
able amount of restraint is maintained over
them. For instance at the sacred cere-
muny of confirmation they not allowed
to sit together in open church, lest perhaps
their mschievous tendencies, acting In COM
mon, might disturb the gravity of the occa-
sion In order to duly separate the urchins,
and at the same time to arrange matters so
that each boy comes before the confirming
prelate in regular order an ingenious con-
trivance has been invented. AT one end of
the chapel of the Petite Roquette there is
an immense wheel, reaching from floor to
ceiling. The face OF this wheel Is divided
into little cubicles, like large cells in honey
comb. Into each of these cells is introduced
boy. The front partition of the cell comes
up to his chin leaving nothing exposed but
his head and face. At the top of the wheel
there is a gallery, guarded by wardens. from
which the boys are led to their cubiCles in
the huge wheel Below, under the floor Of
the chapel is another gallery similarly
guarded into which the newly confirmed
Christians are conducted.
In the chapel stands the archbishop OF
Paris with his attendant priests, holding the
chrism, or oil of anointment Before him,
| tier above tier, in the great honeycombed
wheel, is the crowd of boyish faces-nervous,
eager or frightened, according to the nature
| of their owners.
| At given signal the archbishop steps for
| ward, and, passing quickly along the line
| of cells, level with the floor, anoints and con-
firms each boy in turn. Another signal and
| the big wheel begins to revolve upon it's axis.
| Slowly the faces of the confirmed boys dis
appear beneath the chapel flooring, and slowly
another tier of faces takes the place occupied
| by them, within reach of the archbishop S
confirming hand Again these boys are
made "strong and perfect Christians" as the
ritual expressed it, and once again the wheel
turns until a third line Of cells, filled with
| boys, is brought level with the chapel Thus
| the odd ceremony is continued until every
boy on every tier Of the wheel has received
| confirmation whole holiday is granted to
| the little occupants of the revolving wheel,
| who when released from their cell under
meath the chapel, are conducted to a hearty
| dejeuner and thence to the playground The
| great wheel idea may be satisfactory enough
| in French orphan asylums, but it is to be
| feared that the innate sense of the ridiculous,
SO strong in American boys, would scarcely
| be proof before the introduction of a similar
