fabrics intended for dress purposes.
Novelties have succeeded each other
with marvellous rapidity, and between
the revival of old ideas and the adop-
ton of the new, 1t is often difficult to
decide between the relative merits of
certain classes of fabrics. In the mean
time, there are many familiar textiles
that keep their place, and that one Is
always glad to see as the seasons re-
cur. Among these are the soft, cool
and durable foulards the plain and
embroidered or patterned nuns veil

dies, zephyr ginghamS and pretty cam

not sunnort an asphalt pavement wa.

not support an asphalt pavement was
no defense. The company must fur
niSh a construction that would sustain
an asphalt pavement.
The situation in which the street railway
company now finds itself and the natural
consequences thereof, were summed up by
Mr.. Markham last evening in this way, and
it IS noteworthy that Mr.. Markham suggests
in this connection the adoption of the un-
derground electric system now in use in sew
eral Eastern cities.
THE street railway company" said Mr..
Markham, having refused to accept the
recent ordinance allowing it to put in an
overhead electric system, there is q. dis
position on the part of several members of
the common council to compel the company
to put it's cable system in proper shape and
operate it so as to give a proper sepk4&e,
until such time as it may see fit to apply
for permission to establish an underground
electric system
Mr.. Markham, recounting his observations
of the underground electric system operated
in Washington, D. c., from which city he
has just returned, said:
1.-The Metropolitan Traction company of
Washington operates an underground cleo
trio system the entire length Of Its line, from
Georgetown to the limits of Washington, a
distance Of at least ten miles. Much of the
trackage rests on an asphalt pavement. The
cars run noiselessly and smoothly, are cas-
lily handled and do not start nor stop ~sSh
a jerk as they here"
1t is the opinion of those who have studied
the local situation, that If the court should
grant the peremptory writ of mandamus di-
recting the street railway company to pave
Fourth and upper Third streets with asphalt
between it's rails and tracks, such action will
of necessity compel the company to put in
a construction that will sustain an asphalt
pavement, and result in an improved and
proper street car service
The admitted undesirability of an overhead
trolley system on Fourth street. from which
telegraph and telephone wires and poles have
been removed by ordinance, has already been
considered by the common council and the
majority of the members are prepared to
vote against an overhead electric system.

shameless Spectators" on the
Grill During the Progress of the
Spirited Debate.

PARIS, Oct. 23.-In the chamber Of
deputies today NJ. Gerault Ricard, So
cialist, raised a discussion on the price
of bread. He said the increase Of the
price was due to Shameless specula-
tors" and that only the big agricul-
turists profited by it. Continuing, the
deputy charged the government with
being famine ministry" This
caused violent protests from the sup
pCrters of the government. Another
deputy, NJ. Folleville. asked that the
proceeds of the customs duty on wheat
be employed to bring about reduc-
ton in price of bread. Further, M.
Folleville demanded that the govern
ment take immediate measures
against monopolists.
NJ Meline, the premier, said there
was no ground to reduce the customs
duty on wheat, as the price Of bread
did not justify 1t. The reduction Of
duties in 1891, he. continued, had dis
astrous effect, foreign grain over
whelming the French market. The
present price Of bread, added the
premier, was not likely to rise, but on
the contrary would fall before long,
because the harvests of all countries
would be thrown upon the markets IN
January.
Referring to the Socialists proposal
that the government should purchase
the foreign wheat supply of the people.
M Meline said this would compel the
government to pay heavy prices, as
America would ask 35 francs for what
the people now are paying 2S francs.
AS for the so-called capitalist con-
spiracy to starve the people, the pre-
mier said the sun was the sole con-
spirator, as the whole of Europe was
suffering from the same crisis. The
government, however, would inquire
into the truth of the charges made
against grain spectators and would
prosecute any culprits, though not one
of the charges made had as yet been
substantiated.
The premier concluded by declaring
that If the Socialists devoted their
energy to organizing instead of de-
molishing, the bread question would
not exist Qoud cheers). The minister
of agriculture, M. Viger, also opposed
a reduction in the duties on grain, from
which, he said, America would alone
profit.
NJ Jaurez, the Socialist leader, then
arose to justify the attitude of the
Socialists; but the chamber demanded
that the debate be closed, and the vote
of confidence in the government wasr
adopted, 39S voting for the motion and
76 voting against 1t. The house then
adjourned.

LUDWIG's LETTERS
Published to Strengthen Anti-Prus-
sian Tendencies.

BERLIN, Oct. 2S.-In order to
strengthen in the most particular
manner the -Prussian tendencies
of Bavaria, three letters written by the
late King Ludwig IL, of Bavaria, have
been disclosed, the publication Of
which has been much criticised here.
The first, written in July, 1871, to an
official in the kings confidence, says:
Lately, his majesty has often read
the Munich papers and has found that
they occupied themselves mostly with
the German emperor and the crown
prince and write about them in ex-
aggerated and fulsome terms. while
his majesty is only casually mentioned,
or even not at all. His majesty is now
quite certain that these newspaper
editors are Prussian hirelfngs, and
that the correspondents are paid by
the Prussian government to fill the
Munich papers with such baneful ar
ticles 1fis majesty now asks you
whether it is possible, by means Of the
privy purse, to appoint able men,
whose task will be to represent the
that the kings name be often read
by the population. Their task would
further be to see that articles ema-
mating from his majesty or the cabinet
are accepted by certain papers and to
weaken the bad influence Of Prussia"
The next letter Is dated from Ho-
henschwandan, and evidently was
written after a conversation between
King Ludwig and his mother. 1t
reads: Dear Hofrath: Herewith you
will receive the following order from
the king. Please tell Lieut.. Col. Won
Sauer that the king wishes him to go
at once to her majesty, the queen
mother, and inform her in delicate
manner that her majesty must never
again talk politics in the kings pres
ence. and that she must never speak
in praise Of Prussia"
The Cologne Gazette and the Vossi-
sches zettung have published articles
demanding a change In the rules gov
erning the awarding of prizes at the
Berlin high school for music, so that
the prizes will not again go to Amerf-
cans, as in the case of Miss Leonora
Jackson, of Chicago, the protege of
Mrs. Grover Cleveland and other ladi-s
who won the Mendelssohn's stipendium
recently.

for the Servian crisis is that the Ser
Wan ministry, during King Alex
ander's absence from the country, sent
a large order to the French govern
ment for rifles intended to be used by
the Servian army. His majesty, it ap-
pears, was ignorant of this until his
arrival In Paris, when he was con-
suited by the French minister for for
eign affairs, M. Hanotaux. regarding
the difficulties of paying for the rifles,
whereupon the contract was Cancelled
and the Simitch cabinet naturally fell.
