the left side, whence 1t hung in nat
ural folds. 1t was very graceful. A first
mourning gown, also for a widow-though
without veil it would be suitable for any
mourning-was made of eudora In its
heaviest quality. Down the entire front
were two wide folds of Grape, making Rus
sian blouse folds at the waist and standing
out boldly down the front seams, leaving
the center open. At tho waist the eudora
was gathered blouse form and held under
a grosgrain belt. There was pointed
plastron at the top like a yoke. Pointed
double caps were at the shoulders over the
gigot puffs There were Grape cuffs 8
inches deep at the wrists. The bonnet to
wear with this was coronet shape, with
rich folds overtopping each other. One
narrow line Of white crepe lisse showed Its
special nature. The long Grape veil was
folded and fastened across the top and left
to fall in massive lines.
A very simple and graceful costume
was offered for young lady mourning a
parent. The gown was of imperial serge,
deeply faced with English Grape, which
was higher in the back than in the front
There was q very short jacket, with
rounded points cut away to show the
blouse effect Of Grape drawn from neck to
below the belt line. A leaf shaped fiat col
lar was covered with Grape, and there was
a double bow un6er the chin. The sleeves
were plain and rather scanty gigots. A
round hat of dull chip had drapery Of
Grape made to resemble feathers.
In all the materials set aside for mourn
ing, black without shade or gloss Is nec-
essary. The gloves are of the undressed
kid, and all jewelry is Of dull jet Even
this is limited to the least possible amount.
White linen lawn collars, ties and cuffs are
sometimes worn, but they must be square
and hemstitched on all ends. The collars
lie fat, and the cuffs fasten outside of the
sleeves. The white ties are made one
fourth Of yard wide and yard and a
quarter long. They are tied in loose
knot at the throat.
The empire coat, with collar and yoke
of Grape and any other ornamentation OF
the same that may be deemed desirable, II
the favorite wrap, and 1t is very suitable

bordered or otherwise trimmed with many
ruffles of black chiffon or silk muslin, aIC

as 10 is expensive. Stn, Il would really
be better TO have one yard Of the English
Grape put sparinRly on a gown than ten
of the French or italian Grape. 1t would
look richer and last longer.
Another youthful model had the gown
Of mohair orepon. This, while having the
weave of Grape, Is liPhtened by the effect
of the lustrous mohair interviewer with
the dull Australian wool. The waist was
In Russian blouse shape and had belt of
folds Of Grape. The yoke was notohed ell
around and had a band Of Grape edging 1t
and plated ruffle of narrow black
chiffon The sleeves were wrinkled from
top to bottom and had chiffon ruffles at
the wrists. With this there was offered
black sunshade Of dull taffeta, with deep
double pinked out ruffles. Two button
black unglazed gloves and uuglazed OK
fords also were provided, and black straw
hat with louisine ribbon drapery and a
few frosted black quills. Around the
skirt in tablier form were four narrow
black chiffon ruffles reaching to the bot
tom of the skirt in front and nearly to the
waist line in the back.
Wings and quilts are often used as trim
ming for hats for the young. They are
always frosted with dull glass or whatever
IL il that is used as frosting. The round
milliners' folds, which are next to impos-
sible for the home dressmaker to achieve,
may now be purchased ready made, which
simplifles mourning dress making for
amateurs. In case, however, that one
should wish TO make folds, 10 must be re-
memberod that the Grape for the purpose
must be cut on the straight of the goods,
which will bring the oreases all on the
bias, the Grape being SO flexible 1t can be
stretched or held In to flt on curved places
without wrinkle.
saw whipoord dress ior widow In
her second six months of mourning. This
had four rows of Grape rolls on the bottom
and above that notched design made Of
single rolls of Grape. They stood out like
ropes on the surface of the whipoord. The
waist had the Grape rolls arranged in a
sort of lattice design both back and 'front.'
There was small Tudor collar edged with
Grape ruflle and ending in point in the
back and one in front which reached to
the bust line. The bonnet had quite high
trimming formed of loops of Grape. A

The latest mourning costumes show a
marked intention to make them as orna-
mental az is at all consistent with their
ivowed purpose--that of showing sorrow
ful respect for the dead The bonnets are
not always the close little cap shapes so
long the recognized style, for now they fol-

and loops In great variety. Even widows
bonnets, while the widow Is young, are
made In divers shapes, where folds and
puffs, Tam O'Shanter crowns and plated
brims are seen, with the telltale border Of
white next the hair. The long wells are
now, after the funeral is over, doubled in
the center and put on so that half falls on
each side and all toward the back, leaving
the face free save for the thin little mask
veil so necessary to help in keeping the
bonnet on, which the weight Of the long
veil Is always trying to drag off.
The most stylish veil for early mourning
is of heavy English Grape with hens re-
spectively and 1s inches deep and yards
long; but, such veil being n torture, it is
shortened as time passes or the lady buys
lighter one. The best English Grape Is
now made waterproof, so that It can be
literally soaked In water and the orinkle
never comes out. Some wells are en-
broidered around the edge with chenille,
but hem is more elegant.

met expectations: and neither pro-
longed curtailment of production by
many mills, the large distribution Of
goods since November, nor the great
auction sale, has yet sufficed to reduce
surplus of goods Print cloths are
again lower at 2.44 cents, the lowest
point ever reached. The same is true
of wool manufacture In many branches,
for orders and sales, thus far, do not
call for as large production as appears
though it is yet much below the maxi
mum, but the increasing demand has
been encouraging. Sales of wool at
prices firm, but no longer rising, fall
much below recent records, Indicating
that spectators are growing less sure
OF early profits, in view of enormous
supplies on hand.
The anticipation of better prices and
great increase in demand pushed pro-

facture that four furnaces in Eastern

During the presentation of the low

visibly affected. Mr.. Bayard, on rising
to respond to Mr.. Cranes sentiments,
was greeted with storm of applause.
He spoke for an hour, slowly and inn
pressively. He said in part: There
is nothing we desire to conceal except
a strange shamefacedness that tempts
us to restrain the love each feels for
the other; but there never should be a
strain of doubt as to that affection be-

Paris Fire Victims.
The Bodies of Twenty of Those
Who Perished Buried.

PARIS, May 7.-Twenty victims OF
the fire of Tuesday last at the charity
bazar of the Rue Jean Goujon We're
buried today. The churches where the
funeral ceremonies took place and the
routes traversed by the corteges were
thronged with people. The crowds dis
played the deepest sympathy for the
relatives Of the victims.
The Due d'Aumale died yesterday at
Zucco Italy, of the shock ne exper-
fenced upon hearing of the death OF the
Diichesse dAlencon. The immediate
cause of death was cardiac apopleXy.
The relationship of the Duchesse
d. Alencon and the DUO d'Aumale was
that of uncle and niece by marriage,
the Due d'Alencon having been the sec
ond son of the Due d'Nemours, brother
of the Due dAumale. The attack
which caused his death lasted but a
few moments, and he expired without

great enthusiasm.
Col. Hay responding, said: when
your chairman kindly invited me to be
present tonight and when Mr.. Bayard
added the sanction of his own friendly
request, I could not but avail myself
of the opportunity to pass so delightful
an evening in your company. l stipu-
lated, however, that I was to come not
i'll any official capacity, but simply as
an American, temporarily resident in
England and desirous to add my trib
ute Of regard to your distinguished
guest. I always have been, and fancy
l am now, cordially opposed to Mr..
Rayard on almost every matter OF pup
lie concern upon which men of good
will may differ; but l have always
been happy and proud of his personal
friendship. I have shared the pleas
ure all his friends have taken in OBJ
serving the affection and popularity
which he has conquered in England.
They are successes so complete that
they can provoke neither envy or emu
lation Certainly no immediate sue
cessor of Mr.. Bayard would be SO inju-
dicious as to attempt to rival his bril-
liant. career or to replace him in the
regard of the British people. Nothing
but disaster could follow such an at
tempt. None but Ulysses could bend
the bow of Ulysses. Mr.. Bayard will
always be remembered as our first am
bassador and all the more because he
has gained the affectionate esteem, not
only of the government and the gov
erning classes, but also of the masses
of the people of these islands. Since
the great revolution in France, which
brought the people forward as the prin-
cipal factor of sovereignty there. it
has been the fashion of the kings and
emperors to call themselves )emperors
and kings, not of France, but OF the
French. In like manner 1T would be
not inappropriate to call Mr.. Bayard

Caused by an Alleged Attempt
at Legislative Bribery.

SPRINGFIELD, H., May IA sen
sation developed today in connection
with the Humphrey bills, by a reported
attempt to bribe a committee clerk,
mistaken for a member of the house
4. L. Hamilton, publisher of the West
Chicago Journal, and clerk of the COM
mittee. on live stock and dairying,
stated to representatives of the press
that he had been mistaken for Repre-
sentative Flanagan by lobbyist for
the Humphrey bills, and offered $1,000
to vote for them. The Humphrey bills
extend the franchises of all street rail-
ways in Illinois fifty years, and give the
control of existing roads and new fran
cfises to specially appointed commits
sions instead of to the boards of alder
men of the various cities. The bills
have been bitterly opposed, particu-
larly by the civic reform organizations
in Chicago.
Here is Mr.. Hamilton's story:
Shortly after the house met today,
was talking to Representative Bailey,
who was sitting in his seat. Senator
Landrigan, at the same time. was talk
ing to Representative Flanagan, who
occupies a seat next to Bailey. When
Landrigan walked out, I also went out
after him When we got out into the
corridor, Landrigan turned to me and
said: Mr.. Flanagan, l want to make
you acquainted with Mr.. Garrard." [
shook hands with Mr.. Garrard, AMI
then he said:
Mr.. Flanagan, we want a few
more votes for the Humphrey bills.
We have seventy-seven, but want a
few more to make things sure. If you
will vote for the bills | will make you
a present of $1,000 after they are
passed. He also spoke of some other
bill. I said nothing, and walked away.
I went back to Representative Bailey
and told him what had happened
The Garrard referred to is F. c. Gar
rard. for many years secretary of the
state board of agriculture. AS it was
not known that he had had anything TO
do with the Humphrey bills, and as he
is a man of high standing, the story
was at once on everybodys lips, and
created the greatest excitement. An
inexplicable part of the story, assum-
ing it to be true, was that Senator
Landrigan should be a go-between in
the Humphrey bills, for he has stead
fastly fought them ever since their in

s. Robson, Liberal, moved to reduce the
salary of the Marquis of Salisbury,

Tended Great Britain for her part in the

of the Turkish troops in Crete would be
the prelude to a massacre of the Mus
sulmans, compared with which the
Armenian maSSacreS would sink into
insignificance. Continuing, Mr.. Curzon
remarked that the day the Greeks
withdrew would be the dawn of bright
er prospects for Crete.
Regarding affairs in the mainland of
Greece, Mr.. CurZon said that there
were few persons who did not know on
which side the provocation rested; but.
he added, the chastisement had been so
terrible that he would not say any
more on the subject. The Turks, he as
serted, had exercised considerable self
restraint before they accepted the chal-

NEW YORK, May 7.-Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say: Nearly all will be astonished to
learn that actual sales in April by
leading houses in each line of business
in the principal cities east of the Rocky
mountains average only about 10 per
cent less than in April 1892, the year
of the largest business hitherto, and
were per cent more than in the same
month last year. Yet this is the sum-
mary of 357 reports, each covering act
ual sales of leading merchants in
line of business, in one of fourteen cit
les. They are especially encouraging,
in view of the great fall Of prices with
in the five years, and with exceptional
floods and other retarding influences
this year. While speculative business
in nearly all lines is small and does
not swell clearing house returns as in
previous years, the volume of leg1ti-
mate trade shows no corresponding de-
crease, and the fact is one of the high
est Importance in all business calcula-
tions. Moreover, returns of failures for

decrease in number, amounts and av-
erage of liabilities in almost every
branch of trade and in nearly all
branches of manufacture except cot
ton, although failures of five New
Bedford mills for 81, ,99O,73 make the
total defaulted liabilities for the month
40 per cent larger than last year, 60
per cent larger than In 1895, and 81
per cent larger than in 1894. The value
of reports tracing failures to particu-
lar lines of business is impressively il
lustrated.
Crop prospects are "a little better for
cotton because of the passing of floods
and the increase of acreage elsewhere,
and for spring wheat, because the Gus
tcmary accounts of injury to winter
wheat begin to appear and stimulate
larger sowing of spring wheat as
usual Western receipts continue larger
than last year, 2,34S, sos bushels against
2,20S,972, and Atlantic exports also in
crease, amounting to 1,49S, 167 bushels,
flour included, against 1,040,167 last
year. The weeks exports of corn, g.
725, ,043 bushels, are smaller than in
other recent weeks. The wheat mar
ket declined two cents until Tuesday,
and then rose ~ cents.
