Yhe Season For Variation In Reian-
! ing Styles.
Just now ii is between seasons. and
about the only new things to be found
are the variations on the bretelle or
jumper suits. and there are too many
of these to be profitable, so far as Civ
ing complete description Of them is
concerned. but few may he spoken
of in detail, particularly as most wom-
Ell make these for themselves There
are some made of Persian vesting
bound with some kind Of fancy braid.
/ Others are of the ever beautiful chene
ribbon with the vague designs. but
these are not for ordinary outdoor
wear. They are for the decoration of
the dainty white frOckS. to he worn at
garden parties on the piazzas OF sum
mer hotels and also for evening Ori-
entail embroidery finds place on some
of them. while others are made entire
ly Of messaline draped surplice fashion
over the dress they are intended to or
nament. Some very stylish ones are
cred in heavy relief The edges are
scalloped. and the tracery of vine or
flower is done in the wider spaces
The belt should be Of the same mate
rial and should be embroidered to
match, with the edges scalloped
The new fancy is for kind of semi
kimOno effect in the sleeves Of some of
the prettiest Jackets. coats and modi-
fed empire design. There is little
beauty or grace to these sleeves, as they
hang in lines altogether at variance
with any idea of fitness. Imagine Il
short jacket where the garment itself
Is small and scanty, with sleeves hang
Ing down and starting in at about two
inches above the waist line This
makes them baggy and altogether I'M
lovely, yet we find many Of them, the
long coats carrying them better than
the short ones
The amount Of ornament in the form
Of lace, embroidery and fine braiding
that can be added to these garments is
astonishing. Some Of the sleeves have
deep caps, which are really frills set
just over the arm scye and allowed to
droop over the sleeve. These have en-
broidery, braiding and in fact all sorts
Of trimming. many Of them being ar
ranged to lie along in folds like the
folds Of a kimono at the neck. Elbow
Or long sleeves may be worn with
these fancy caps.
AS to hats, no pen can do them jus
tice. They are SO very ugly in them
selves that all the beautiful garniture
set upon or built in under them fails to
make them lovely. And. each takes the
angle that the wearer may find most |
becoming. Thus we see hats set side
wise. turned back, to one side or the |
other. bent into fittings, mashed down |
fat or curled up into half dozen
folds. Some really deserve the ridicule
put upon them by the funny artists
who hang the hat to the very back of
the head. Some have fruits, others
flowers, and many have very clever

From what little news the Record
mas been able to gather today, the
strike of the telegraph operators
seems to be growing more serious
hourly. Not only have the operators
employed by the Postal Telegraph
Company gone out in many cities of
of the the West, but it is freely pre-
dicted that leased wire operators will
also be ordered out This action would
tie up the larger newspapers and ma
ny corporations and stock exchanges.
At the present time there are about
and Canada. OF these about $4,000 be-
long to the union, and it is declared
by the union leaders that every man
will be called out if it should become
necessary. On the other hand, the Of
ficials of the telegraph companies de-
clare that they will have nothing fur
ther to do with the union, and that
those men who strike are 40 longer
in the employ of the companies, and
that the fight will be waged to the
finish.
Yesterday morning and this morn
ing the local Office of the Western
Union was called up by the Denver
office, the union operators of which
are out, and asked to take messages
from the few strike breakers on duty
there. This was refused, and as a re-
suit Roswell now has no telegraphic
communication beyond Canyon City,
Texas, and Pecos.

to perceive the righteousness and
absurdity of the tight between the
office-hunters and newspapers of the
Territory.
Instead of discussing public meas

fourths of the newspapers of the Ter

"cussing" each otner-and it is the
same with politicians. Everybody

the way for revival of horse sense"
We noticed the other day in County
Surveyor Kenney's corral a couple of
bay horses that certainly exhibited
more sense than some of the newspa-
pers and politicians of the Territory
seem to possess. horse, as you
doubtless know, carries his f1y-brush
behind, although he can by much
wagging of his ears, twitching of the
skin and wrinkling of the nose, keep
some of the flies off the front. Well
those two horses stood there content
edly side by side, one head pointed
east and the other west, their eyes
closed apparently in sleep-and the
tails did the rest
Reciprocity and cooperation exem-
plified- In return for keeping the flies
out of his neighbor's face, either horse
received the benefit of two fiy-brushes
and was able to get little sleep in
spite of the flies.
A combination of the New Mexico
people to keep off the pestiferous
political flies would be in the line of
horse sense.

KIfss AND TAXES.

From Santa Fe Eaie.
We were somevaat surprised that
the New Mexicanshould venture to
bring up the taxdodgers of Chaves
county again, afte having been SHOWN
that the Repubcan tax dodgers OF
Valencia, SandoAl, Socorro AID even
Santa F'e are pst masters in the art
of lodging tavs as compared with
the residents c Chaves county. Only
last Monday eening the New Mexi-
can, driven to desperation for some
thing to say, delivered itself of the
following:
Take the cattle kings of Chaves
county LooE at their tax returns, and
notice now they squirm out of the
payment ofstust taxes. although they
demand the best protection and the
greatest outlay of tax money for their
use and benefit The Republican org
anization in the Sunshine Territory,
despite an the assaults upon it, is
stronger Ehan ever before"
This oheer conglomeratioa of ideas
is, at least interesting, but what tne
strength of the Republican organiza-
ton has to do with the cattle kings
of Chaves county is somewhat diff
cult to determine Perhaps the editor
of the New Mexican meant to make g
comparison between the tax dodgers
of Chaves county and some of the cour
ties where the Republican organiza
ton is strong. If such were his inten
tions he omitted the comparison which
we will furnish. It is as follows:
