In the lace mesh and appear in the yoke
of lace on the waist and on the sleeve
caps. To further tone up this cheerful
costume narrow bands of chinchilla fur
border the panels, yoke, cross the sleeve
tops, and edge the high collar. on a
blue velvet toque, embroidered in small
steel marguerites, a couple of gray feath-
ers stand up and the effect of the toilet
is that of perfect harmony with our crisp
and brilliant fail weather. But it is safe
to let it pass into axiom that without
some fur trimming no gown this autumn
can boast fellowship with fashion.
There is great good sense in this resolu-
ton of the dressmakers and tailors, for
every year furs grow more and more ex-
pensve in the United States; that IS TO
say, the beautiful richly colored skins,
and only the very wealthy women can af-
ford wraps of seal. mink and sable. BY
touching up the gowns and wraps with fur
bands an excellent make-shift is the re-
suit, and old furs are brought into service
again.
Quite as potent as this reason Is the
restless notion our makers of good clothes
have that we American women dress too
eoberiy in cold weather. BY putting beads
into braid and touching up the picture
with fur and by advocating warm, bright
tones in cloth are bound to be birds

The most popular ring is of medium size
"a liItle less than a quarter of an inch
wide, though in effect much narrower be-
cause of the oval edges. Unless the buyer
has some preference for a very narrow or
very broad band, ne is advised to take a
ten-penny weight ring, this being the reg
ulation weight for the medium size II
costs $40. The tiny narrow rings have
never been popular, for in order to wear
at all we'll the ring must be so deep that
it cuts into the other fingers and is de-
cidedly uncomfortable. So, too, are the
extremely wide rings which often make
a callus just between the bend and the
edge of the ring on the inner side of the
ring finger. Besides with some women.
these broad bands sweat the finger, caus-
ing it to swell.

ring on sale which is seldom seen in this
country. Il is custom made, and is the

TO FIGHT THE BREWERS
State Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton Meets in Newark.

The State Liquor Dealers Association

discussed the proposition of several local
associations to start brewerles or the CO.

ers for fling al 1.-THE extra war tax and
ers for piiing all the extra war tax of 81

A communication was received from the
Brewers Association advising the retail
ers to drop the pint" trade. The commu-
n~ication was promptly p~igeon-holed with
contempt. Some of the members termed
it a Temperance tract A committee of
nine was appointed to inspect the Po-
Ian Brewing Company's plant, which has
been offered for SALE. 1t was reported that
the dealers had also purchase options on
half a dozen other brewing plants, and
that fifty retail dealers had agreed to put
up the necessary money to start breweries
to be run on the cooperative plan.
Fearing that the brewers who hold
mortgages on the fixtures of many small
saloons would retaliate on the -mortgagors
a number of members agreed to Out up

cages, the money to be paid back TO them

JOLLIED BY THE MAYOR.
Trouble Between Two Hobo
ken Boards Over a
Small Job.

The Commissioners of Public Instruction
of Hoboken and the Councilmen were. to
have met last night as a Committee of he
Whole. There is a hitch between the
two bodies over the proposition TO erect
an addition to Public School No. 8, at a
cost of $4,000. Each Board wants to SUI
pervise the work. 1t is the first time
that the Council has ever questioned the
right of the Commissioners of Public III
struction. The novel plea has been sad-
yanced by the Councilmen that the Com
missioners have no legal status, and that
all their acts in the past have been IL
legal. The conference that was called for
last night was to be an important one.
At eight all the Commissioners OF Pub
lie Instruction, headed by President Russ,
were on hand Mayor Pagan was also
present and ''jollied'' the Commissioners.
When the Councilmen did not show up,
some of the Commissioners blamed the
Mayor, who. they declared. was making
of them. The Commissioners
waited until 1890 O'clock. At that time
the My Councilmen present were MCCOY
err Steil. LondrigafH and Bender.
President Russ had a long conference
with Mayor Pagan. What its outcome
could not be learned. The Commits
sioners were mad clean thrugh when they
left.
AS the matter stands at present both
Boards lave advertised for bids for con-
structing the new wing and contractors
are all at sea. The clash of authority
between the two Boards promises to as
sunni serious proportions.

F0URTHs ARMoRY DESERTED.
Stiffness OF the Grave Now Hoyers
Over the Big Binding.

The Fourth Regiment Armory has been
practically deserted since the departure of
the volunteers for Sea Girt. A few of the
officers and men who did not volunteer
drop into the company rooms OCCASION
ally, but there is not the life and activity
that used to exist. The pianos which used
to be heard nightly are silent. While the
armory is little used, it is kept as spotless-
ly clean as if it was to be inspected by
Governor Voorhees,.
This is due to the work of Walter Nc
Gowan, who is in charge during the abb
sence of the -egiment, as he was while It
was at home. The troops had hardly left
the building a week ago when he started
a corps of men at work cleaning up.
Never before was the building in such a
dirty condition. The floors had been
tramped over by thousands of persons and
no care had been taken by them. 1t took
several days to get the building clean in
fact. 1t was only yesterday that Mr.. Nc
Gowan was entirely satisfied with the APP
pearance of things.

NO COPY OF ORDINANCES.
Police justices Have Trouble With
Violation Gases.

The police justices and police officials
continually complain because of their in
ability to find city ordinances that are in
dispute in the courts. The lawyers join
them in their complaints. AS far as is
known there is not an authentic copy Of
all the city ordinances in existence out
side of the City Hall. Chief Murphy has
a book or ordinances that he has made
himself as the ordinances have appeared
in the newspapers. but it is not properly
irdexed, and it is difficult to find the or
dinance wanted.
The book which Chief Murphy has is
borrowed by the Police Justices when they
have ordinance cases before them. The
courts are provided with no book of the
ordinances. Police Justice Potts this
morning said:-

ToDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.

The trial of William Reid for the mur-
der of Andrew Henry in Hoboken, on May
IA, was resumed in the Oyer and Terminer
Court this morning. The court room was
filed with spectators, the majority Of
whom were from Hoboken. Justice Lip
pineott and Judge Blair took their seats
On the bench a few minutes after ten
O'Clock. The defendant was brought
over from jail. His face shows no indi-
cation that he~a at all affected by the or
deal through which he is passing. The
jury looked bright and fresh when they
took their seats.
Former Judge Hoffman said that owing
to the absence of some witnesses he
would be obliged to introduce some testi-
mony out of the regular order and he
called Mrs. Jennie Maxwell, the defen-
dant's sister.
Mrs. Maxwell testified that she lives in
First street. Hoboken. Some years ago
the defendant lived with the family in
this city. William worked in a foundry
Wanser procured a situation for him with
the Pennsylvania Railroad. After the
death of his brother Joseph in 1890, the
defendant began to act strangely. He
frequently talked to himself, and seemed
to have a feeling that every one was
against him. On one occasion he sergt
the witness with letter to a doctor In
Paterson. The witness delivered the let
ter. but got no answer, And She told her
Brother that he would have to go HIM
self. She was not permitted to tell what
the doctor said. He frequently said that
detectives were constantly pursuing him.
He talked incoherently, the witness
said. II always talked as If he wished
to be wealthy and to better himself. He
changed the subject of conversation FREE
quently. He would say, They're doing
me, they're doing me- He would walk
to the looking glass and curl mis- mus
tache. Last New Years my husband
asked him to come and see me. as l was
sick. He said he had no time, but he
did come. We asked him TO remain all
night and have dinner with us, but he
said he had another engagement

mo, he was very cool; / never saw

The witness identified several letters
and entries in pass-books as being In the
defendants handwriting. She identified
them by the small is instead of capitals.
George +. Fuerstein, a Paterson sa-
loon keeper. was the next witness called.
He testified that he had received the let
tiers which Mrs. Maxwell had identified
as being in her brothers handwriting.
There were fourteen of them. Mr.. Feuer-
stein testified that he had known Reid
since 1882, when they were both employed
in the same place. After. the witness
started in the saloon business he saw
Reid occasionally but had not seen him
for about two years. Judge Hoffman
read the letters. They are incoherent and
ungrammatical and the defence expects
to prove that only an insane man could
have written them. The reading of the
letters occupied almost the entire morn
ing session.
