SUM INFER MODES.

Oriental silks are to have n special
vogue this season. The who
chooses these silks for her summer
gowns will make no mistake.
In some instances the very latest
sleeve models show an almost tight
dtting sleeve with n cap at the top,
such as were worn in the sixties.
some Of the new redingotes have a
tioht-ftting ccat sleeve.
Violes in the fruit colors, checked
with two shades of the same, will be
the choice of the well-dresscd.
The skirt that clears the ground
will be more generally accepted than
ever before, and umlncl ftocks fall
types except for c~eremonious wear
will be made that length. Evening
gowns will have a short demi-train.
Goats OF taffeta or wild silk suiting
in bolero, eton or blouse shape, also
in the redingote and tight-fitting
short jacket, are in the field ready for
choice. Blacks and pale neutral shades
are chosen. -~.~
Lingerie gowns, with lingerie coats,
lingerie hats and lingerie parasols
will be the chic vogue of summer in
1905.
Val. lace is supreme, and in all
overs and wide nounccs is used more
than last season. Some of the all-overs
have batiste embroidery apparently
woven in them.

Two Communications from Read.
ers on the Subject The Man
at the Crossing.

" Since Yesterday issue, the NEWS
has received two communications on
the subject Of antitoxin, showing the
unusual interest this subject has
created among the people of this city.
Here is one written in u rather uni
que style:
THE MAN NJ THE CROSSING.
He would like - see a new NUM-
cipal department Created.
'That was Il pretty warm session of
the Board of Health, the other night,
| reckon said The Nan at the
Crossing.
".Seems so by the NEWS account -
said His Friend who was Passing.
That new member Shragovitz must
have Il pretty bad case of swelled head.
The idea of mai like him trying TO
tell DR., Ramsay his business. Hes
only a iunkman. what does he know
about antitoxin?'
"II.m-m!' said The Man at the
Crossing. Didn't strike me rs if he
was setting himself up as an expert
on the stuff mt all. It's the price; and
a junklnan ought to he a pretty good
Judge of prices on most any old thing.
from stove plate scrap to glass walls
or diamond studs, that's if he wants
TO stay in business and make a living.
He's got to know something Of quail
tiles too or some OF these pirates
around here might stock him up with
papier mache washtuhs and collect
for copper boilers. Shragoyitz is only
trying to do for the public that which
he is doing for himself six days every
week. His experience has taught him.
that il is n good business stunt to bny
as cheaply as YOU can: and, 50 he
thinks, it is just plain dumb fool huSi-
ness to pay three fifty for something
YOU can buy for a dollar. You see he
has not been in politics long enough
to learn the fine art of discriminating
between buying with public funds and
dippingsinto his own cash balance.
"That's one way in which he is
different from DR.. Ramsay and some
other of our level-headed busincs,
men. If we ever get that new city
charter | should like to see it contain
clause creating a new department,
to purchase antitoXin, street paving,
fire engines, pianos and other nbuni-
cipal necessities and to sell any old
thing the city might have lying
around outdoors like streets or parts
of streets, franchises, etc. 1t would
MT be Il bad idea to give that job to
an unsophisticatcd iunknan either.

the local board purchase antitoxin for
4 istribution TO the poor and also to be
sold to the public at cost; and which
antitoxin should be bought from the
Newark Board of Health, should re
ceive the sanction and support of all
the inhabitants of this city. 1t should
interest not only those who had the
misfortune Of having the sickness OF
diphtheria in their homes, but 1t
should interest every laboring man
and eyen the man of professional pul-
suits, though not knowing what it isoi
having such sickness in ones home.
As some of US are aware that the

means. by the time the sickness IS
cradicated the family very often finds

ton. Now where does the really poor
man find himself. who, out of pride
or other reasons. does not wish 10 ac-
cept the charity of the city to procure
the necessary medicine to save his
child, and perhaps his only child?
| read in your issue of "Wednesday
stating that DR.. Ramsey remarked
that he would not allow the Newark
antitoXin used upon his children. I
would kindly ask him, would he use
it upon the recommendation Of the
eminent Dr.. III. of Newark. II DR.,
Ramsey doubts this assertion let him
write and be self-convinced.
What are the reasons for DR.. Ram
sey's opposition to that resolution?
The only one that can be understood,
is, that he simply does not want it:
and as YOU once editorially remarked,
that once the doctor says No, tie
board echoes No.
