FASHIONS IN CHINA.
Styles i'm Hats and Coats and Shoes the Same To-Day as a Thou
 sand Years Ago.

At dinner party in Washington, the new Chinese ambassador discussed American fashions satirically, says the New York Tribune.
 Now, in China" he said, "'our fash ions never change. I wear the same sort of hat, the same sort of coat, the same sort of shoes, that man in my position wore a thousand years ago. And 1t is the same with the Chinese women. Their fashions also have not changed in I. know not how many dynasties. Long ago, in China, we found the costumes that seemed to us the most graceful and the most comfortable, and we cling to these costumes. We love them,
 But you-here in America-how often is it--every week-every fortnight?- that you change your fashions? Only the other day met on the street an American naval officer of whom I am fond. He had a parcel under his arm. I stopped my carriage.
 "FCome,'I said, let us have a little chat-a comfortable little chat
 But the naval officer shook his head. He said hurriedly:
 No, cannot. In this parcel there is bonnet for, my wife. Were to stop and talk, the fashion in bennets might change before I reached home.'"

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES.
 The election excitement doesn't ap' pear to have any influence on the tendance at the Jacques to-day, for there is a very large matinee audience who are applauding and laughing in way to indicate their happiness. It will be a pleasant place for people to go this evening while awaiting the count of the ballots. Heading the bill are Stanley and Wilson, who present unique novelty under the title of Before the Ball" MT Stanley has been called ''the human clarionet'' = cause of the peculiar formation of his throat which enables him to reproduce the exact music of this instrument. In Europe. whence they have just re- turned after triumphant three years tour, Stanley and Wilson made a sen sation, and they are repeating 1t in this country. AS a second feature Manager Pon offers O. A. Duncan, the noted ventriloquist, who has probably no rival on the American stage. MT Duncan has not been seen in Water bury before, but he will quickly be- come a favorite here. Others on the bill are Al Anderson and Briggs, Will liam Smyth's company in "A Fair Smuggler," Smith and German, De- veau, Green and Werner, and the electrograph. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents; afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.

Economy of Dowic'a Host.

One reason why pr. John Alexander Dowie's followers can expend so much money on a religious expedition to New York is that, except in religion, they are economical, as Dowie says. They expend no money for doctors, dentists, theatricals, dancing, gam bling, drinking, secret societies and numerous other things that eat big holes in the incomes of the average person, says a special dispatch from .Waukegan, H., to the New York World. Dowie says: We are amazed at the interest which Is being shown on every side all over the American continent, and indeed all over the world, in our approaching visitation to the city of New York with the first le- zion of Zion restoration host"

The appearance of Mildred Holland
 in 'The Lily and the Prince" to-mor- row evening at Polls will be a wei come event for lovers of the romantic
 drama. Miss Holland Is, in the Judg- ments of the most conservative dra- matc critics in the country, one of the most capable and accomplished actress es of her day and generation. Time after time she goes back to the various cities and town on her routes, and nine times out of ten her receipts are great CT than the time before. In fact. her

engagements are beginning to be looked upon as theatrical events, and in many theaters her receipts stand $ the banner receipts of the season. It makes no difference as to the play she appears in. The people go to see Mil dred Holland, but when they do see, her in a production upon which money has been lavished and made as perfect as the skill and labor of such a producer as Edward c.

Want Guides to Insure,

The Swiss Alpine society has been trying for some time to persuade all guides to insure their lives, but with only partial success. It now appeals to all tourists to engage only such guides as are insured, in order to prevent the wretchedness caused by the death of uninsured guides who have a family to support.

DE FOREST DEFENDSLAW
.Saus Landlords and Tenants Are
Pleased zCith 1t.

Robert W de Forest, Tenement House Commits
sioner, spoke last evening at the meeting in the
Union Settlement quarters, No 231 East One-hun-
dred-and- fourth-st., called TO protest against
changes in the Tenement House act. Mr.. de Forest
said ali the pending amendments were bad. He
asserted that the landlords we're finding out that
the law paid The buildings were quickly
taken builders had begun to realize that apart
ment houses of the better grade were wanted and
were preparing to build Of them. Buildings
that had been altered also proved profitable. The
result was better class of tenants and higher
rents.
ment was recently compelled to clear house on
account Of its intolerable condition. The owner
who was an Italian, was downcast over the loss of
income brooded it two three weeks and
then began to make repairs to conform with the
tenement law One day he appeared in A clipper
frame of mind and wanted permission to rent his
rooms. Asked what made him feel more cheerful.
he said: Il rent ali my building for more q
month for each apartment than I got before and
fill it with better class of people" This proved.
said Mr.. de Forest, that the landlord benefited
by complying with the law. 1t meant that tene-
ment house reform a satisfactory basis.
Resolutions were passed protesting against any
amendatory legislation that would modify the law
with respect to light, air. space and sanitary

Ohio and the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroads. was
in session all day yesterday in the rooms of the
Trunk Line Association and agreement was
reached to put into practice the plan of issuing
interchangeable mileage books. The railway VS.
represented will issue and begin the use of these
mileage books as quickly as possible
Neither the New-York Central nor the Reading
is to adopt the system. 1t was said yesterday that
the Central would like to join with the other roads
in the project, but its law department questioned
whether it could legally adapt its cents mile
rate TO the tentative plan for the issuance of the
mileage books.
The plan for issuing the books it is said pro-
vides for the issuance of thousand mile books at
the of three cents mile. with an agreement
to pay a. rebate Of one cent mile to the of
the book if the agreements subscribed to when it
is purchased carried oIt. As the New-York
Central cha rges only cents a mile fat on
regular tickets, the law department is of the
opinion that it could make charge of three cents
mile for the books.
The adoption Of the system will involve the
tablishment of general bureau. which Will look
after the protection OF the road against fraud in
the use of the books. and the traffic mana gers say
that they do away with much of the use of
the books by unauthorized persons well as

works in rap for his old enemy Richard Croker:

grateful The people of this city gave me larger
majority than was ever polleG before by any can

the indicated by his conscience and pursues

GOOD Plan FOR ADDICKS

Tsr TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE. J

Dover. Del Feb. 25.-There was considerable
surprise this morning when the entire member
shin of the House-Union Republican Regular
Republican and Democrats alike-voted for
resolution asking Congress TO call a convention
TO prerare an amendment to the constitution
recurring the election of Senators by direct vote
of the people The only break in the list was
on the first name called. Mr. Austin, Union
Republican. voted against the resolution, but
after the full roll had been called and he saw
that all his colleagues vo-ed yes" he changed
to agree with them.
Before the vote was taken Mr., Hocomb (Dem)
expressed the feelings of his party the resolu-
tion. He said:
matter Our Own State. where one man IS hold-
ing up the entire State. and preventing 1t from
having representation in the Senate, is evidence
of the need of such constitutional amend
ment.
The Unions did no. need to tell what they
thought The fact that at the last election they
got the Governor and twenty-one Of the fifty
two members of the Legislature is sufficient evil
dence of what they would expect in case the
constitution were amended as proposed. Sup
pose it were-to be a Delaware voter would be
almost as lucrative as running turf invest
Tnent concern. and without the risk.
The Regulars nave not yet finished explaining
the defeat yesterday of the Voters Assistant
Repeal hill. They say now that the Democrats
forced the vote too soon. and tonight they tried
TO arrange with the Democrats for the election
Of a Regular Republican for the long term and
the repeal of the Voters Assistant law. leaving
the short term vacant. But as Governor Hume
would be sure 10 veto the repeal bill. and the
Democrats would thus be left with nothing in
return for electing a Republican Senator they
refused the proposition, saying that the Voters
Assistant Repeal bill must he passed on its
merits and then they would consider PROPOSE
ton for coalition in the Senate fight.
