2F1amds0n1e Clowns for Summer 2

There is a delicate wrist finish which is much seen this summer. The modistes who are busy on Miss Grants trousscau, and Mrs. Potter Palmer did not forget to order generously for her, are using il considera- bly,.
 The sleeve, which may be of any mater ial is tight, terminating over the hand In a wired point which covers all but the i1n- ger tips. A tiny ruching of tulle or chiffon is shirred entirely around the wrist, coV- ering the wire and making a full neat finish for the hand.
 THE SLEEVES.
 Lace sleeves are very tight, showing the skin off exquisitely if it is pretty, disagree ably if the skin be ugly. For pity's sake there comes very delicate lining for these lace sleeves which is the refuge of all with scraggy arms. The lace sleeves terminate in their wired point long over the knuck- les; and, again, the point is sherred with chiffon, no matter how great may be the contrast between the white chiffon and the priceless creamy lace, white yet never like snewl
 The tunic is the greatest blessing ever granted d summer woman. Reaching near ly to the hem of her skirt and terminating only at the bust it covers a multitude or silky wool with silken strips and open work can be worn with twenty yokes and with forty skirts. For full dress the yoke can be left off.
 How long they are wearing the neck and how long the trainl Three of Miss Grants dresses will shock her. There is not even a shoulder strap. A strange freak for the most conservative girl who ever went in American and Paris society.

 You would know about midsummer hats! Of course they are sun hats, well tipped over the nose to protect it from sun blush; and either tilted high in the back, or fat tened to receive the flower garden trim ming.
 Such jaunty little hat style is coming in vogue for summer. To get an idea of it set your hat, which now tips up at the back, on the side of your head, so that the tilt come over the left ear. It will look odd to your unaccustomed eyes, but it is a style which you soon accept and become accus- toned to- It is so chic and it imparts such an air to a pudgy round face.
 A delicate goods in cream. dotted in tiny emerald figures, was trimmed with airy rufiles, not new in name. surely, but new in the chic with which they were stiffened and sewed upon the goods
 THE PARASOL.
 Parasols dearer to the heart of summer woman than her hat are elaborate. The Duchess de Arcos, the American wife of the new Spanish minister to America, ob- tained six of a Paris shop on the Rue de Paix, just before her departure to Wash ington
 One was the newest elegance. velvet covered handle, long and slim, with top of painted silk. Another was of faint pink chiffon ruffles, the lower ruffie edged with deep red velvet, three were carriage para sols, small and trimmed inside with flow CTS, and one was q mass of cornflower yell low tulle gathered full until the entire par asol was covered and a deep ruffie left to fall over the face

 Over the tan skirt was a tunic finishing in points around the foot The points were large and very effective and laid out in great relief against the skirt The tunic material was foulard not a new stuff by any means, but traced with new design in golden yellow threads upon back ground of blue. There was a border of black satin and rather an elaborate band trimming of the same black satin.

COMPRESSED AIR MOTOR.

The compressed air motor, a practical
demonstration of the utility of which
was given the other day in New York,
seems destined to push electricity hard
for first place as a motive power for
municipal street railways.
The compressed air motor has ad-
vantages over the electric system the
chief of which is that every car is a
locomotive by itself containing within
itself in a tank under the seats its own
motive power and is not dependent on
a central power house while running.
There is no noise, smoke or dirt and
the cars run sixteen miles on one
charge of air, which can be introduced
into the tanks in two minutes. The
cars are superior to those in use in
European cities.
The new system is intended for SER
vice on the crosstown lines in Twenty
eighth and Twenty-ninth streets in
New York. The method and mechan-
ioih ioi supplying toLuP1 OSoOo oil 10
thus described:
The dimensions of the COMPRISING
engine in the power house are enor-
nous 1t is of the vertical type and is
said to be by far the largest machine
of its kind in the world. 1t has a
horsepower of 1,600, against the 400
exerted by the air-compressing engine
in use inn Paris, which comes next in
size. Between and below the cylin-
ders is a great fywheel with diameter
of % feet and weighing sixty tons, the
periphery of which revolves at the
speed of one mile a minute. Below the
steam cylinders are accomplishing
cylinders, in which the volume of the
air is reduced in four successive stages.
In the first compressor sixty-four feet
placed at a pressure of fifty pounds to
the square inch. In the second COM
pressor this air is raised to pressure
of 172 pounds to the square inch and
then passes to third compressor, IN
which the pressure is said to be $50
pounds and the bulk is reduced to five
cubic feet. In the fourth compressor
the pressure is raised to 1000 pounds
per square inch and the bulk is reduced
to one and a half cubic feet. The
whole operation requires only four sec
onds. The air is then passed into a
reservoir of 700 bottles.
THE bottles carried by the cars are
cylindrical tanks of steel, about 20 feet
long, and with an external diameter
of about inches. They are made in
Dusseldorf, Germany, of nickel steel.
They are tested to pressure of $4,000
pounds to the square inch

ALoPslDED INVESTIGATION

The MaZet investic alton into Tam
many rule in New York has brought
forth nothing new and has simply
succeeded in demonstrating the unfair
ness and bias OF the committee and
that it was appointed by Platts Re-
publican Legislature for purely parti-
san purposes-all of which, also, the
people were pretty we'll aware of be-
forehand
Although Platt and Platt's law firm
have from the beginning cut promi-
nent figures in the evidence, having
been repeatedly shown to the commit
tee to be deep in the corruption going
on in New York, yet the committee re-
fused to summon Boss Platt before
it to tell what he knows about the
things the committee is alleged to be
investigating. The committees re-
fusal to subpoena Plat was made by
a strict party vote of five to two, show
! ing conclusively the rank insincerity
and the rotten partisanship of this in
vestigation.
Admitting that Crokerism is every
thing it is alleged to be-and it is
probably as black as it is painted
| what remedy is offered by these Re-
publican "reformers?" They would
, simply substitute for Crokerism-Platt-
ism.
The whole investigation is plainly an
effort simply to get the Tammany ma
chine out and Platt's machine in. Then
instead of being plundered by Croker
| the community would be robbed by
Plat, who already runs the State
and its patronage on the same lines
as Croker runs the city. And TO sub
stitute Plattism for Crokerism would
simply be jumping out of the frying
pan into the fire.
No wonder. DR.. Parkhurst will not
lend his countenance to the Mazet in
vestigation of Tammany Parkhurst is
at least honest and is not hypocrite.

THEAxBlrKATION xEMEDY.

THE AkBlTRATlON REMEDY.
In this country where the majority
rule and every citizen has rights which
all others are bound to respect, and
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der is the generally accepted rule, it
Is anomalous that some method has
not been devised to obviate strikes that
result in the 'tie-up" of a great public
utility to the serious Inconvenience of
the general public and detriment and
loss to general business, ouch as is
occasioned by the present street car
strike in this city.
If the street car line were strictly a
private enterprise enjoying no public
franchise and were not an artery of
public travel ana hence an important
public utility upon which the general
business of the community largely de-
ponds; in short, if no one suffered
from the street car strike but those
directly concerned in it, the company
and its employees would have the right
to fight it out on their own line in
definitely without interference. That
would be their inalienable privilege.
Eut as they are not the only or pos
sibly even the greatest sufferers, the
business Of the entire community SUI
fering great loss on account CT the
stOppage Of travel between remote
parts of the city and the outlying dis
tricts, it would seem as if the COM
munity ought to have word to say
in the matter. Certainly private dis
pute should not be permitted to dis
commode and injure the business OF
the entire CITY,
The subject is delicate one While
the injustice and injury to the COM
munity is plain, the remedy for it is
not so plain. 1t is a subject that has
puzzled lawmakers in the past and
as yet no practicable solution for it
has been found consonent with the con-
stitutional rights guaranteed corpora
tions and individuals.
That remedy is urgently needed for
the protection of the rights of the pub
lie in such cases is plain.
The best effort along this line that
has lately come to light is the recent
act supplementary to the arbitration
law of Illinois passed by the Legisla-
ture of that State. 1t is designed to
remedy defects in the old law and to
give the State Arbitration Board
power to compel the production of such
books and papers as may be deemed
necessary to full and fair investiga-
ton of the matter in controversy. In
case of disobedience to a subpoena,
the Circuit or County Court, upon ap-
plication therefor, is directed to issue
an attachment for the witness and
compel him to appear and testify, or
produce such books and papers as
may be required.
Another clause OF the amendatory
act provides punishment by contempt
n one or both parties to the arbitra-
Jon who fail or refuse to comply with
She judgment rendered.
Practical tests of this amended law,
which alone can demonstrate its
value and effectiveness, will be await
"a with considerable interest 1t is a
4 subject in which the whole country is
interested. since any city is liable at
any time to have a public utility stop

company and its employees. or q whole
section Of the country may have its
business pAralyzed BY the tie-up Of !
