THE GRAYs ARE HOME.

Senator Gray and wife and Miss EN-
lily Gray, who have been in Europe for
several weeks, reached home last even
ing in good health and much pleased
with their trip abroad.
Before leaving New York fOrWilming-
ton Mr.. Gray was interviewed by a re-
porter and said that the coming Greater
New York election would be one of the
most important ever held in this coun-
DRY, and that the interest in the contest
was almost as great outside of the city
as in it. Speaking Of the Dingley
tariff law he said:
Il don't like it. l don't like anything
that restricts commerce and curtails
the rights of the citizen, and this tariff
law does both to an unprecedented ex-
tent. 1t is all sorts of a robber bill.
II plays highwayman with commerce
and pick-pocket with the individual. 1t
is not only bad in principle, but what is
worse, it is a nuisance. / believe that
the Democracy will be generally sue
cessful throughout the country this
Fall"
After he reached home he told of his
experiences abroad. He and his wife
and daughter left New York, on July
q, and went to Southampton. From
there the party went to Havre, France
Paris also was visited. Thence they
proceeded to Holland, and many
points of interest were included in their
itinerary, after which they returned to
London. Excursions were made from
that city, one being to the Isle OF
Wight When they went away they in
tended to return on August 81, but
found it inconvenient to 10 50, and did
not start homeward until August 81. In
London they met ex-Ambassadcr
Thomas r. Bayard, who is now on trip
through Scotland. He intends to return
to this country as soon as several mat
ters are arranged. The outward voy-
age was pleasant, but on the return
trip they rode into a gale a short dis
tance outside of Southampton. The
seas were very heavy. Senator Gray
said that he took the trip mainly for
the voyage. but the best part of it all
is coming home Senator Gray said his
trip was merely for pleasure.
"They have a short crop of wheat
there, he said, "and the price of loaf
of bread in London has been increased
one penny. This naturally causes COM
ment from the people to whom penny
means a great deal. The fact that the
price of wheat had reached the dollar
mark also was discussed"

PRESENT FASHIONS.

Accessories for Summer Costumes
WaistbzndS, Collars, Lapels, etc.
Among other accessories sold sepa-
rately are ruches of snowy tulie, with
which are made neck trimmings lighter
and softer and more fluffy than half
boas Of ostrich feathers. But they are
more fragile.
The tulle OF which they are composed
is in all colors-black, white, silver
gray, mauve, pink. claret colored, China
pink and Nile green, in every case pow
dered with white; but the shades best
suited to the complexion are white,
pale gray, or black powdered with
white.
There are two ways of making up
these ruches; sometimes they are made
with coques. fixed upon No. II or %
satin ribbon to match; sometimes they
are fastened together with very fine
silk so as to form sort of tuyau,
through which is passed a round pip
ing of cotton covered with drab ribbon
about 40 centimeters in length; then
with a silk to match the tulle the puffs
are attached every one or two cent?
meters apart, forming rosettes of five
to ten centimeters, according as the
ruche is required smaller or larger.
Sometimes they are made slightly deep
er and brought together 50 as to make
the ruche fuller.
! Very pretty rucbes are made with
No. 60 moire or taffeta ribbon, rucheh
in the center and edged with a very
small frill or a narrow ruche OF black
or white mousseline de sole at the edge
of n black ribbon. A pretty fashion in
trimming tulle grenadine or barege
dresses is to make q ruche of white,
pink, pale green or turquoise satin rib
bon, always using black mousseline
de sole for the small ruche which bcr-
ders It.
Some corsage fronts in black or white
mousseline de sole have seen trimmed
with insertion or spangled braid, laid
on fiat among the tulle or muslin, as
the case may be. The same thing can
be done with black lace and spanglod
braid. collar and waistband of some
bright colored moire, which can be tied
behind in a baby knot and long ends,
edged with a very tiny ruche of black
mousseline de sole. They arc aiso made
with ribbons.
1 have seen black tulle blouse, with
coarse meshes, on which are sewn two
rows of cream guipure insertion of a

Flaw IN TIE PAPERS.

Before the session Of United States
Court was called this morning Judge
Bradford sat for the purpose of issuing
naturalization papers to such would-be
citizens as satisfied the court that their
character and qualifications would le-
gally entitle them TO the dignity of citi-
zenship. Among these were John Mih-
moss, Emil Johnson and John Willie
nina Johnson. The first two had taken
out their first papers and these were
passed, but John Wilhemina Johnson
got a set back. Ii seems that when the
prothOnotary of WestmOreland county
Pa, made out JOhnson's first papers he
neglected to insert the clause which
says that The person desiring citizen
ship must forever cleave the allegiance
Of his native country. Judge BradfoTt
refused Johnson the papers. johnson

AMERIcAN EXTRAvAGANCE.

II was an ancient maxim that "parsi-
mOny is a great revenue" The word
parsimOny is now commonly used in a
bad sense, to denote extreme closeness
and stinginess, but the fact remains
that parsimOny, in the old sense of a
prudent economy and disposition to
save, is still as great a revenue as ever,
and with as little safety can be disre-
garded. Using the word in its old
sense, Lord Bacon said 1.-THE ways to
enrich are many, and parsfmOny is one
of the best" Used even in it's modern
and narrower sense, the idea 1t stands
for is better than extravaganza, which
always has been the besetting sin of the
people OF the United States. Extrava-
gance has even run into prohigacy,
with disaster not Onlyto individuals, but
to whole communities. The people of
the United States ought to be the rich
est in the world, but they are not. The
reason Is that though their earnings
are enormous. their savings are small.
1t Is in the disregard of the idea con-
tanned in the Old word parsimony. in
the habit of spending everything and
saving nothing, and even beyond this,
in the habit Of spending in advance OF
earning, and of running into debt, that
ghe grave defect OF the American eco
nomic character is found. The people
as a rule, are industrious enough. But
they lack tne economic instinct of saw
| ing and accumulation. Hence, with
every reverse of industry, many find
themselves in straits. This is the rea-
son why so many who have earned and
have had abundant opportunity to lay
up margins are calling loudly for gov
ernment to support them. and pressing
their socialistic devices upon public at
tention. This. further, is the reason
why there is so wild an outcry in this
richly endowed country for the fOrciblC
division Of the property Of those who
have had the purpose to save and to ac-
cumulate.-Portland Oregonian.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
ouR srREEr NAMES.

Juding by the names given 10 our
streets, we Americans might be con-
sidered the least aesthetic people in the
world. Nowhere else is there such a
general regard, in that respect, for sys-
TEN and convenience, at a sacrifice OF
every other consideration. Such a To-
callty as "the corner Of Avenue "A and
Iwenty-third street" is almost as dis
tinctly American as Algonkin and Irl-
quois names like Mississippi and Sara
toga. The result is that many of our
city maps look like a mixture of the
English alphabet and the multiplca-
tion table, with a few proper names
thrown in TO relieve the monotony. A
foreigner is apt to be led by this state
of things into thinking OF our large
cities as places where social life goes
on with absolute and mechanical pre-
cision-a notion that has a family re-
semblance to the European idea that
nOn-ulban Americans are formed on a
model made up of Misunderstanding and
a cowboy. Yet it is by no means GER
tain that this widespread Ignorance of
everything but business methods"
in naming our thoroughfares does not
to some extent influence our character
trary Notwithstanding, there is much
in a name, and though a rose by any
oaher name would smell as sweet in a
physical sense, the associations that
would be lost by the change have a
sweetness Of their own which could not
be easily spared. Our habit of de-
pending for street titles on merealpha-
bette and numerical signs may react
on us in a way that is not advanta-
geous. We are quite practical and
prosaic enough now, and anything that
tends to make us more so is not a thing
10 be desired.
If this kind OF nomenclature were
applied to whole cities or states, its

TION.
1t is understood that the Baltimore
aud Ohio Railroad has determined upon
a repetition of the cheap excursions un-
der similar condition and rates next
Sunday. The Pennsylvania railroad
has as yet taken no action in the mat
ter, and it is more than probable that it
will not join in the movement. as it is
not at all in accord with the policy Of
such cheap rates at this time of the
year.
The matter may come up at the
meeting Of the Joint Traffic Associa-
tion, in Philadelphia, to-day, at the re-
quest Of the Pennsylvania railroad and
it is possible the Baltimore and Ohio
may be obliged to abandon its plans
for Sunday next. The Reading railway

agement Of the draw of Third street
bridge.
Thomas l. Russell and James Nc
Hugh, the tenders of the draw, were
present to defend themselves, but the
superintendent exoneral5ed them and
threw the blame on the third man
whose name he did not know. AS no
third man has been employed by the
county it must have been someone who
was working the bridge in the absence
of The regular men.
Russell and McHugh admitted hav-
ing employed men to work the draw in
their absence on account of sickness OF
other cause. They asked the superin-
tendent If they had not kept the bridge
on longer ithan they should at his re-
quest and to accommodate eXcursiOnists
of the w. & n. railroad. He admitted
that they had.
The whole matter ended with the
committee deciding to give the two
tenders a third man to help them dur
