cism of his Auzusta speech: ‘Were all public
speeches of the plane and plan of those of
and Jackson, politics in Georgia would
offer an example of purity and power which
the press and even the pulpit might well exert
themselves to imitate. '

Rhodes, the murderer of the Massle family,
was taken out of jail between twelve and
one o’clock last night by a body of armed
men and carried about half a mile from the
jail and hung to a tree. Citizens who were
near by etate that Rhodes begged
for more time,in order to make a confession,
but as a number of citizens were rapidly
approaching the scene the lynchers swung
him to a limb. He confessed he was Rhodes,
and said his mother and brother Lee did not
do anv of the killing.
Later —The lynchers of James Rhodes last
flight numbered about 40, and it is thought
they had a hundred or more confederates in
town. They compelled the jailer to surren
der the keys of the jail and overpowered
the guards Rhodes, on discovering their
object, gave a loud wail, which was heard
some distance. A large crowd of
citizens collected and followed the lynchers,
but were baited by guard? In the highway

and attempted an appeal for the law to take
its course. He was warned off on the peril
of his life.
MISSISSIPPI LEVEE IMPROVE

Washington, October 2.—ln accordance
with the recommendations of the Board of
Engineers the Secretary of War has award
ed contracts for levee work on the Lower

for is 4,636,200 cubic yards, at a cost o?
$1,143,824. Jones Hamilton, of Jackson,
Miss., was the lowest bidder for the work
to be done on the levee. He is a farmer of
the convict labor of Mississippi, and It
was with the convicts which he ob
tains from the State by his contract
with it that he proposed to execute his
contract with the government. The Secre

A SICKENING DISCOVERY.
A Drummer Found Dead In Americas.
Americus, Ga , October 2—A horrible
discovery was made here this morning. The
dead body of a man named Isaac Steyer
man, aged about forty-five years, a drum
mer for BoinhelD, Rexiuger & Cos , whisky
dealers of Cincinnati, was found In a closet
just across the street from the Commercial
House. A negro man passing the place had
bis attention aitracted by the horrible odor
arising from one of the closets, and
called the attention of others to the
matter. The door was locked from the in
side, and upon being burst open the body
of the unfortunate man was found jammed
head foremost against the door. The de
ceased had evidently been dead for several
days, and the body presented a horrible and
Sickening appearance.
Mr. Steyerman was last seen alive on Fri
day morning just after breakfast, when he
was in lively and cheerful spirits. He did not
come back to the hotel to dinner, and the
landlord, believing that he had gone out to
some of the country towns on business, paid
but little attention to his prolonged absence.
As no signs of violence were discoverable
upon the body, it is presumed that he died
from natural causes. The deceased is a
brother of 8. Steyerman, of Thomasville.

SAVANNAH, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1882.
THE TARIFF COMMISSION.
A Well Known Writer Presents His
Views.
New York, October 2—A portion of the
Tariff Commission met here to-day. Messrs.
Hayes, Kenner and Boteler were absent.
The day was principally occupied by J. S.
Moore, the well known writer on tariff ques
tions. He epitomized his opinions a? to
what the tariff reformers really want in two
short sentences —the first, a reduction of
tariff taxes; the second, tariff simplification.
Taking these as his text he delivered a dis
course which was full of interest, notwith
standing its length. In concinsiQu he sub
mitted a proposed revision of the tariff.
It consists of nine classes. Under the first
class .(textiles) he proposes an average duty
of 25 per cent, on cotton manufactures.
Instead of 38 per cent.; on woolen
manufactures |45 per cent,., instead of 67;
silk manufactures 45 per cent., Instead of
58; fl_ix manufacures 25 per cent., Instead
of 35; and manufactures of hemp and jute
25 per cent., Instead of 27. The estimated
revenue from this class at these rates would
be $41,000,000, against $59,000,000 In 1881.
In class second (metais) he enumerated
the reductions on steel rails from S2B to sls
per ton, and on other metals about one
third of the present rates, the estima'ed
reduction in revenue being from $27,000,000

The League Championship— Games
Yesterday,
Chicago, October 2 —President Paulding,
of the Chicago Base Ball Club, said to-night
In regard to the playing of nine games with
the Providence club to decide the League
championship after the close of the season :
‘‘l have not recededal all from the position I
took when It became evident that the
Worcester club would complete the
series. I then maintained that the
Philadelphia agreement was void
because the contingency governing
it did not occur, and because the agreement
was neither regular nor constitutional, and
because It was still more objectionable when
the cause leading to it —namely, the pros
pect of default by the Worcesters of the.
remaining game—no longer existed. I re
gard the championship question as settled,
and have no doubt the League at. Its annual
meeting will concur in this view.”

SERGEANT MASON.
A Writ oi Habeas Corpus Refused.
Utica, N. Y., October 2. —This afternoon
Judges Wallace and Cox refused to grant
a writ of habeas corpus to Sargeant Mason.
The decision was rendered Immediately
after the argument of counsel and without
the Judge leaving the bench. After Mr.
Bigelow finished his argument in favor of
the writ, the court held that they
were precluded by the opinion of
Chief Jutsice Watte, given at the October
term of 1881, from determining any ques
tion in the case except the power of the
Judge Advocate General to reverse the de
cision of the court martial, and Judge Ad
vocate Gardener was heard on that point.
In rendering Its decision the court held
that the Judge Advocate General was sim
ply an advisory official of the War Depart
ment, and that Congress never Intended to
give him the power to reverse the finding of
the court martial.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
LATEST FROM THE FEDERAL
CAPITAL.
Recoinage of Small Coins—The Bond of
K. D. Locke—Gossip in Washington
Over the New York Situation Bad
Feeling Between Kaum and Folger.
Washington, October I.—Some changes are
being gradually worked in the present circula
tion of two of the small coins of the country.
The five cent silver pieces and the three cent
silver pieces |re being recoined into dimes.
This is under authority of the last session of
Congress. All silver coins of the denominations
mentioned are, when they get into the assay
er’s vaults, kept there. None are allowed to
go out again. The first installment of these
coins have already been turned into ten cent
silver pieces at the Philadelphia mint. Over
SBO,OOO worth of them have been wiped out
by recoining. Ic will be years, however, before
the silver three cent and five cent pieces dis
appear from circulation. Treasury officials
estimate that it will be at least twenty years
before they will become s-uch a rarity that coin
collectors will be anxious to have them in their
collections. Another point of interest about
the fractional eurreacy is that the Treasury is
redeeming the mutilated nickel at its face
value, and will soon commence recoining them
Congress appropriated a sum of money for
tneir recoinage. It is a curious fact,
develop?d by these Treasury transactions,
that there are not near as many dimes, rhree
cent pieces and five cent pieces in circulation
as is generally thought. Of the entire amount
of fractional silver in existence nearly twenty
seven millions of ic is in quarters and halves.
LOCKE’S BOND.
R. D. Locke will not be able to enter upon
the duties of the Marshalship for the new dis
trict when the court meets next Monday at
Macon This will be because he will not have
then qualified with the prescribed bond. Judge
Erskine had returned to Atlanta in time to
approve a bond offered by Locke, but it is ne
cessary that the bond be approved in tbe dis
trict for which it is executed. Judge Erskine
cannot sanction it until he goes to M cob.
Locke, who is now here, says he will have no
difficulty in giving a good bond in due time.
THE CHANCES IN NEW YORK
New York politics and the condition of the
canvass just opened in that State continue
to be the subject* of most interest
to the politicians. To say that the
Republicans are downcast at the present out
look and the possibilities of the future, would
be but to feebly represent their state of mind
The defections in their ranks, which com
menced witn the nomination of Folger, have
become more frequent and more prominent
daily, even for the short time that the canvass
has drawn itself along. The large majority of
Republicans in New Y’ork. known by them
selves as Garfield Republicans, and the smaller
faction, known as stalwart or administration
Republicans,are at such outs that even the most
sanguine Republican here despairs of anything
occurring which will unite the two. Without
such unity it is impossible for the Republicans
to escape defeat. The Democrats, on the other
hand, are thoroughly united. They act with
one accord down through the whole list of
previous “factions.’ This being the condition
of affairs it would be surprising if the Demo
crats were other than elated, or that the Re
publicans were other than downcast. There is
no place on the broad surface of the
globe where politics are so much discussed
as in this very city of Washington. The most
obscure laborer or messenger in any of the
public departments will stop you to ask how
in your opinion even the most unimportant
Congressional district is going. I have found
by experience that (here are many very shrewd
politicians in government place. These gentle
men are just now especially intereste 1 in the
statue of affairs in the State of New York. I
have talked with many of them in the
past week. At first they were a little
hopeful, and even inclined to be a little
boastful in their utterances as to what was to
be the outcome. But it Is cifferent now. They
openly admit that they do not expect that
victory shall crown the Republicaa cause in
that State. But as one man they say, as if it
were a sustaining clause, the defeat in New
York this year will not mean anything or bear
any significance as regards the next Presiden
tial election. In this it is evident to even the
most irresponsible looker-on in politics
that they simply whistle to keep up
their courage. New York is undoubtedly the
State whose vote will in the next, as it did in
the last. Presidential bout, uecide the day. Tbe
simple fact of the great importance to which
ever party holds the machinery of the State
Government in the Presidential gear is as ap
parent as ihe sign of a Chinese laundrymah
over his chaste establishment. The election in
New York v* ill this time, as in all so called “off
years,” have its full weight in the possibilities
of 1884, and the Democrats, as admitted by the
Republicans out of their own mouths, have
more than the inside track this time. The name
of Secretary Folger.of course, presents itself in
talking about New York politics. Folger has
many friends here, and deserves to have for
his past public services. But he has fallen into
bad hands So far has he, by his actions, im
primed upon the public mind the fact that he
is the creature o Jay Gould, that his friends
begin to waver and doubt, liecent financial
operations of the Treasury Pepirtment have
been so in favor of Geuld and those on his side
of the market in Wail street, th it people who
doubted before that Folger was Gould’s
candidate for Governor, have been forced
to the conclusion tuat he cannot be
otherwise. Foiger has not yet accepted the
Gubernatorial nomination. His friends here,
who are sufficiently intimate with him to offer
advice, have, as a rule, advised him to decline.
They act as one friend would who saw another
getting into bad company. They see a man
with a clear - record heretofore and an honora
ble public name descending to be the tool of
market tricksters and manipulators, simply
because if success should low attend his efforts
the buzz of a Presidential bee, which has loca
ted itself in his bonnet, may become as
the hum of a swarm of such politi
cal insects. They, warn him
to get out of his bad company. Many of his
friends here say that he will decline the nomi
nation for Governor. Whether he will or not
is a question. But very many think that for
his own good uame he will be compelled to
take such a course.
BAD FEELINQ.
There has n- ver been any good feeling be
tween Commissioner Raum, of the Internal
Revenue, and Secretary Folger, of the Treas
ury Department Folger came into the
Treasury Department with the idea
that Raum was not a good man
or a good official. He entered upon
a plan of executive superintendence over the
revenue nervice entirely at variance with
Baum’s feelings as a man and as an official. I
might also say, entirely at variance with
Raum’s opinion o* himself as a brother—to the
present administration—he having been nota
ble among that glorious old Spartan band
known to fame as “The 306.” Folger wanted
to get Raum out of office, but he could not get
behind tbe protection afforded bv the shield of
that “306” medal Raum saw early in the game
how the land lay, and suddenly broke out all
over with a preconceived ambition to become
David Davis’ successor in the upper branch of
the National Legislature. He went to work
with might and main to that end. and has been
in the same field ever since. Folger ignored
Raum, and even tried by sending special agents
Uimical to that gentleman—especially in the
cases of the so-called fraudulent distillers’
bonds—to procure something against him as
an officer. He but lately added another insult
to the many preceding in his treatment
of Raum. He has appointed commis
sioners all over the country without
consulting the stalwart wearer of a “306”
medal, who heads the Internal Revenue Ser
vice—and without allowing that gentleman to
have anything to say about the work—to ex
amine, inquire, investigate and report how the
service can oe improved. As I stated before,
Raum runs m re rapaciously than ever after
tbe benatorship. as each official slight is put
upon him.. His friends say that such is his na
ture that he will not remain in his present po
sition if he fails—as he ve y likely will—in his
Senatorial ambition. Potomac.

LATEST NOVELTIES IN DESIGN
Tb* Nnw He Insole-“Then” Or*
P*YY— Theatre Toilette*—Science In
Clothee.
New Yoke, October I.—That science has any
thing to do * ith clothes, seems not as yet to
have entered the mic.ds of many people, and
therefore dress has no true standard, no
scientific exponents. Its devotees are as igno
rant of the laws which should govern it as
those who despise it, and both in their ignor
ance equal'? mischievous to it* best interests:
while in the meantime more and more of a
burden, more and more of a hindrance to a
free active life.
Perhaps this is inevitable. Civilization is a
wonderful mason. It builds up invisible walls
stronger than those of the old Romans, and its
refinements are only barriers to our humanity,
1 ress must follow or Keep its place in the eter
nal march, and all we can do as individuals is
to endeavor to apply to it, at least in our
Ga-'-e. the same laws of reason and common
sense that we naturally bring to bear on other
subjects. It is possible that sometime scientifi
cally educated men and women will see the
importance of examining the subject with the
seriousness that its influence upon the health,
morals an happiness of mankiud at large de
mand: that it will not be considered as sill? or
frivolous simply because it has been left mainly
to the control of the unthinking to Its detri
ment; but that such guidance will be afforded
as will form a basis for judgment and give au
thority to opinion.and, above all, impart to the
whole question, in its practical as well as its
theoretical aspects, such intelligent recogni
tion as will rescue it from the hands into which
it has largely fallen and induce our intelligent
voung women to enter the field and become
true dressmakers, trained in the science and
art as well as the mechanics of clothes.
As yet e have no scientific dressmakers.
Our dressmaking is done by accident, and in
the merest process of imitation after the old
copy-book style. Dressmakers rarely know
the true n-.mes and still more rarely the quali
ties of even the materials they use. As for
their influence upon the health or life of the
individual, their suitability for different pur
poses, their varying powers of resistance to
atmospheric and other conditions, it does not
enter their heads that they have anything to do
with these things, or that there is any reason
why they should know them. Naturally, ihe
average wearer knows even less of such mat
ten than the average dressmaker, and both
fall helplessly back on the uncertain.irrational,
constantly changing dictum of some self-con
-Btitut and authority whose vision is narrowed
both by interest and ignorance, and who sim
ply wishes to keep up the demand for some
special item or branch of manufacture.
WHAT ART HAS ALREADY DONE
The present generation owes a debt of grati
tude already to those artists and art critics and
writers who have discussed dress from the art
standpoint and created at least the beginning
of anew school in which dress is considered
and even worn from the art standpoint
Though the influence is not yet popularly per
ceptible—at least in any marked or generally
acknowledged way—it has been strongly felt,
and has been mainly truthful and refining in
its character. Its value, however, is in the fact
that it has lifted dress out of the commonplace
into the artistic; that it has surrounded it with
anew atmosphere and unconsciously set many
to looking at it from anew point of view. This
is a great step in advance, and we can easily
afford to forgive the vagaries, that accompany
any movement, for the sake of the beauty, the
variety, the healthy activity which are the re
sult of the movement itself. The n xt step may

that the average American woman is the com

Cos it* function*,
Should this be the case we shall learn to
know fabrics and put them to
their proper uses; we shall in time be able to
distinguish colors and even shades, and know
how to adapt them to ages, conditions and
persons. We shall in short make our fashions
instead of allowing them to make ut. It is to
the influence of art that we owe the modern
development of form, and to this and scientific
discovery in its application to decorative ob
jects, the movement and variety in color. It
is toari also that we are indebted for that re
vival of ornamentation upon the material,
while mechanical genius has aided it by
imitation* whlcn, being much nearer the
reach of the majority, have hitherto been
excluded by its cost from appropriating it It
is still, however, an open question how far this
higher influence shall .extend, and whether we
shall permit it to do for us the good it is ca
pable of doing if it were treated with the
thought and attention it deserves.
In dress we have not as yet made a single
broad step beyond the boundaries of the con
ventional and the commonplace. We alio*
the incursions of original designs, and particu
larly the revival of old ideas to divers fy ihe
monotony of wood and brown stone, and give
an air of individuality to the interior of modern
houses; but the of the occup inis is more
alike and more commonplace even. With all
the world to ehuose from, we accept the least
desirable because we are acquaintnd with it
and becau-e it relieves us from burdens and
responsibility: uch as endeavoring to carry aud
introduce the new always entails.
THE MANUFACTURE OF FABRICS.
In the meantime the manufacture of fabrics
has gone far ahead of our knowledge of how
to put them to good use. The spectacle of their
desecration, their almost annihilation by crude
and cruel methods of cutting, dragging, gath
ering aud torturmg is one to make an artisan
who has found pleasure in seeiog a beautiful
piece of cloth grow under his eyes weep W
have now quantities of rich material, for which
Nature s deepest recesses, the gathered treas
uries of museums and ail the repositories of art
have been searched for their produciion, yet
not for any sympathetic impression they make
on their soulless cutters and wearers they
might be kitchen tojveling.
It would oe well for those who are engaged
in looking back for historical hints in regard
to costume to carefully consider the lovely, ar
tistic designs and exquisite old colors employed
in the early part of this century. No other
style on record will compare with it for deli
cacy, daintiness and artist c effect. They were
restricted, to be sure—no material was wasted
—but there was an absolute re'Jneme t about
them, a grace and gentleness that appeal at
once to the cultivated perception, and a sim
plicity of outline most favorable to the display
of the lines of beauty both in form and fabric.
What is to be done in these da;s of hunching
aud ‘‘drapery ” witn the magnificent brocades
and tapestried materials it is hard to say
There is an effort to reverse the order of the
China figures of the seventeenth century and
use the figured stuffs for the ur, trimmed short
skirt; tiie plain for the draped overdress
Which is often made with the Watteau plait in
the back. But this involves for dinner or e?3n
rag w ear (except for dancing) a sort of court
train, or one distinct from the skirt, and this is
not very easy, and therefore can never be pop
ular.
i? used to be said that fashion ceased to be
fashion when it was seen on the street—that is
to say, when U had reached the majority. But
this is not at all s j true as formerly. Hcience and
machinery have cheapened luxuries so that
they are within the reach of a larger number,
while at the same time labor is becoming more
valuable, and women are acquiring ihe pe
cuniary independence which enable* them to
become purchasers to a greater extent than
they have been heretofore. These facts and . not
affect women who are very rich in their own
right, or the wives of very wealthy men, but
they largely modify the modern demand for
such personal belongings as used to be restrict
ed to an exclusive class, and they make it more
difficult to maintain exclusiveness of style or
a- sign in the face of the increasing competi
tion and craze for novelty.
In fact, is is discovered that exclusiveness is
not always the guarantee of the best thing; it
is often only the stamp of authority put upon
the conventional and the commonplace. Origi
nality is not infrequently derived from the
humblest sources, and the very persons who
would have disdained it had they found it in
its home and uncredited, take it eagerlv, and
pay a high price for it when it comes turough
a recognized channel. Ignorance puts us at
the mercy of pretenders, an l in nothing is
this more true than on th art of dress and
the employment of fab in . Why bright, well
educated American go s do not take up
this dena-rm ■••• a.a put their trained
taste snd iuo-li geuce into it, is past compre
hen-ton. Tuere is more money in it
than in law or medicine. Foreigners, men
and women, are making fortunes in it, and
men assume a rank am fitrers of women’s
Ciothes which is not accorded to women, sim
ply .because women have been accustomed to
tees exact methods, snd cannot be so invariably
relied upon to produce an accurate fit. If
women will add exactness to their taste, an i
sympathy and knowledge to their conscience
and intelligence, men would have very little
chance as dressmakers or dictators of what
women shall wear, and women would add
greatly to their chance* for pecuniary indepen
dence
NEW features in autcrn designs.
The beauty and cost of the new fabrics com
pel a resort ot styles which display their
splendors, and at the same t me *preaent a
plainer surf.ee. Thus, instead of the much
trimmed skirt of pla'n silk, wool or satin, we
have a perfectly plain skirt formed of a rich
figured material, and edged with a thick triple
ruchiog. The overdress may be a paniered
polonaise drawn away from the front, but ex
tended and draped at the back. Or it may be
a coat with tai sand a vest, the latter affording
abundant opportunities for contrast or ornrT
mentation. The Vest is a revival of the season
and In connection with the dress coat or frock
coat gives a semi-masculine touch, which is,
however, softened by the full square “Abbe ’
ties of lace at the throat, and also by the varied
color and ornamentation of the garments. The
drees coat is short in front; the frock coat long
and straight, and accompanied by the deep,
square vest—what is known as the Louis XIV.
vest. These styles are not new, but they are
the revivals of different periods, and have the
effect of noTeity to those who have not made
their acquaintance before.
Avery becoming accessory to dinner dress-s
is the full vest, guimpe, or plastron, pleated or
gathered. This often extends from the throat
below the waist, forming a fu'l chemisette
above and a sagging puff below the Breton
strap belt or buckle which Holds it across the
front. This puff may be repeated In tjie front
of the i kirt above a broad band of embroidery,
brocade or rich figured or painted satin Or
the band of satin may be plain aod enriched
with a lace flounce. There are Innumerable
ways of using to good advantage even a small
quantity of a very handsome piece of stuff,
and one of the very best is as part of the
tablier either above or below the centre. This
s the way bands of Turkish embroidery are

mw'£ .SStefi 1 ’“ b po "*“ “ and ™“
* n eraJ distinction between
the arrangement of combined fabrics for
evening and day wear. Short dresses as I have
remarked, usually show a figured front, often
a plain draped back, and plain basque or bod*
ice. Dinner and evening dresses, on the con
trary. when made of plain and figured stuff,
often show a skirt of the self color, shirred or
enriched upon the front with painting or em
broidery and an overdress in (he Wattetu
style, with small train of flowered brocade In
the striking colors and patterns which have
appeared recently. Mrs. John Drew s dresses
as ‘'Mrs. Malaprop" at the Union Square
Theatre tell the story of when these designs
fl unshed, and with the exception of the height
of the hairdresses. which mar possibly reap
pear with the jewels and the feathers during
the present season, would serve as ele
gant models for the elegant dinner
and evening dresses of to-day. Of three
which she wears, the petticoat of one is blue
with train of blue and rose red brocade; an
other, brown satin, shirred and divided into
puffs, with trained overdrees of rich coppery
brocade, with an effective design of wheat and
daisies tied together upon it. The third is pale
mauve with front of uncut velvet Valenciennes
lace pattern and Watteau overdress of magnifi
cent brocade shaded in the ground color. Cor
sage outjuet of jscqueminot roses; and this
red reappears in the punting upon tne mauve
satin fan. There is a red rose also at the side
of the plume of lavender feathers which sur
mounts the powdered hair.
The very long trains. It is a comfort to see,
are generally abandoned. At the Oriole ball
at the Academy of Music, in Baltimore, where
were many beautiful and new dresses, only one
very long square train was observed, and this
belonged to a white -atin dress that was not
new, and tt looked old, absurd and out of place
The long squaf% trai .s al was were ungraceful
and inartistic, because they have no more con
nection with the rest of the skirt than the 'all
to a kite Still the latter is supposed to have
a use which justifies its existence—it is intend
ed to “balance the kite” to that it will fly The
squ re tail at the end of a yklrt has no reason
whatever for its being. It is unbecoming; it is
in the wav; Lisa mere senseless incumhranc i
which should never again have an existence.
The occasion above alluded to afforded an ex
cellent opportunity for judging of the wide
range allowed in the choice of material and the
making of ball and evening costumes.
A short dress of rich pale pink satin, for
example, was made perfect by plain brocade
front and straight gathered back. A white
brocade, with pearled lace laid flat upon the
front, was made as a full Mother Hubbard
gathered and fitted only at the neck, and the
elbow sleeves trimmed with pearled lace A
striking dress exhibited a front of puffed satin
with delicately embroidered panels and Wat
teau train of pale peach blossom ribbed plusb,
the rib containing minute dashes of color,
invisible, but repeated in the embroidered
ornamentation. Avery rich black dress ba<l a
front of satin embroidered in richly shaded
colors, the foliage in dull greens and olives and
train of moire, with alternating stripe of bro
csde. Nearly all the dancing dresses were
sfcort, and this is so advantageous in many
ways—so particularly favorable co comfort,
the convenience of gentlemen, and decency—
that it is hard to imagine our bright young
women submitting to trains again for dancing
dresses. To evening dresses cut a not very
low square it is common now to add a tulle or
fine India muslin fichu, crossed in the Charlotte
Corday style. Hound the neck a pendant is
then suspended by a black velvet ribbon.
THE XEW REDINGOTE.
“Supply what ladiei want,” said an old dry
goods merchant of New York, “and the goods
will sell themselves; they will not require
pushing ” .his axiom, if it may be accepted
as such, certainly applies to the new redingote.
a long, straight garment, which envelopes the
person, and is edged with a thick, triple ruche
The co operative store, which is the most prac
tical of our women’s clothing institutions. was
first iu the field with this garment, which has
obtained a vogue abroad as a substitute for
the ulster, and the demand is already weeks
in advance of the supply. There are two
grades in these redingotes, both of which are
shaped exactly alike, but differ in material and
finish. The fin. r grades are made of soft chud
dah and other French and Indian wools, and
lined throughout with twilled French lining si k
and thickly ruched with soft dull twilled silk
or satin. The more popular kinds are of all
wool cloth and mixed suitings, dark and suffi
ciently fine for any ord nary use. These are
only lined in the waist and sleeves, and are
ruched with the material, which is pinked out
on the edge The usefulness of these gar
ments for fall wear is self evident. They are
excellent for driving, walking, traveling, and
all purposes where service is required in city
or country. They are protective against
storms ; they cover up a rather worn and faded
dress; and yet contrive to avoid the appear
auce of the water proof. The favorite colors
are bottle green, very dark wine color, gray
and black.
A more dressy outdoor garment is a combi
nation of the long dolman with the Mother
Hubbard. It has toe dolman back and blootb,
but is gathered at the neck and waist. There
is an interior belt which holds it in, and moire
ribbon loops at the throat upon the sleeves
which are gathered at the waist and below the
shirring behind. The length is a knatter of
taste, but the more elegant nearly cover ;he
dress. The materials are cashmere—plain and
in India patterns—lined with old-gold silk
(twilled).
The jackets are all braided, the designs being
executed partly in flat, partly in knife-edged
patterns, and the most fashionable conjunc
tion. as remarked in my last letter, with the
braided jacket is effected by the new plaids in
shaded browns and greens, cut bias and
stretched plain over the front of the short
skirt, which has wicked but fascinating back
draped,’ kinked’’ at the side and called “Theo ”
BONNETS INSTEAD OP RATS.
Ingenuity seems to have been exhausted in
millinery, for there is nothing new this season
to chronicle so far. The most notable things
are very simple in style, and recall the bonnets
of forty years ago to those who have seen
them. They are bonnets without any doubt;
large in crown and brim and lined with down
silk or .satin in a contrasting c dor, such as pale
pink with black or brown, ruby with bottle
green, garnet and old gold, and ficelle as an
interior for wine color The only trimming Is
a large Alsatian bow upon the 'op ot tne brim.
The hat has not disappeared, but it is subordi
nated to the bonnet, which is only uocomforta
ble btcause it is uncertain and vinra.es like a
pendulum between the large and small, the
thatched roof and the close neuralgia breeding
“scull ” There is comfort, however, for the
old ladies. They have not for many y ears have
had a bonnet so comfortable, so capable of
holding a cap as the large crowned, grand
motherly looking ones which have cume to us
with the present season, and which, oJdiv
enough, ar.-i employed alike for the very oil
and the very young while the middle-aged
cling to the small regulation bonnet and the
youtg women choose feather turbans for ordi
nary walking wear, the large cap for carriage
riding and driving, and the coquettish bonnets
if Spanish lace and crushed roses, or beaded
embroidery and enamelled bugs, beetles and
butterflies for theatre and concert wear. Felts
are very much In demand and are much im
proved in quality. It is of little use to buy the
poorer kinds, for they spot and lose their shape
immediately. The velvet felts, on the con
trary, and the felts with a short, .hick wool
pile, known as the St. Bernard, are thoroughly
“resisting,” and can be upon for wear
and service. All kinds of feathers sre made
up into all sorts of shapes and forms, but there
is a rentiment growing up which dealers would
do well to heed in regard to birds as ornaments.
The fear of getting rid of a species hardly ap
plies to this country where birds are so numer
ous, but the cruelty is the same everywhere
and the taste is beginning to be verv question’
able that will spit a bird, taken alive for the
purpose, and with its sweet song still in its
throat, upon a bonnet and wear it, for an orna
ment.
Mot*t charmin* bonnets come from Paris
consisting of nhite felt, white Bictlienne white*
uncut velvet aud white satin, in the quaintest
little shapes imsginable. They have oval or
upright crowns and queer turn-up or ha f
p v r brims, which, if of felt are lined
with shirred silk or satin and trimmed wi'h full
ostrich fe thers, just curled over the edge of
the brim, and thick corded or satin ribbon.
The large scoop and small poke bonnets are the
favorites for little girls Hatj selected for
them have very broad brims, are set *t li back
upon the head, and trim me i w.tb satin aod
pompons. Later beaver will be in the as
cendant.
THEATRE TOILETS.
Since theatre parties came into vogi e a great
deal of attention Is paid to theatre toilets, an .
many ladies arrange for them by b the
half worn skirt of a handsome dinner or ieu
ing dress triage over snort, and anew ve!v„t
plush or brocaded jacket added, which gives
character and freshness, while at the same tin e
preserving the harmonies of color, or adding *
contrasting color to the toilet.
Black velvet braided or embroidered with
gold, ruby plush, or satiD, amber beading or
silk embrolm-ry in colors, styles or designs
which would be considered a little too pro
nounced for ordinary occasions, are, if hand
some, excellent for the theatre, where almost
anything but the shabby will pass muster.
Of coutse something depends upon the po
sition. Occupants of boxes in full view of
the audience require to have every detail of
their dress carefully considered, aDd may dress
as for an afternoon reception or an evening at
11© Academy of Deaign, out the ordinary tht-a*
tre goer does not occupy a box 'but a rtierved
seat, which is somewhat narrow and in which
a long or much trimmed gkirt is a nuisance
and encumbrance while tbe freshness of anew
one would be entirely thrown away. It is
therefore a wise economy for young ladies
especially who go Into society much and to the
theatre often to reserve their newest for oc
casions where they are required and take ad
vantage of the present rage for independent
jackets and bodicettfo utilize them with their
worn skirts for theatre and semi-evening pur
poses.
Aesthetic toilets, too, may be worn at the
theatre. One observed lately was of sage
green velvet, with square puff inserted in the
neck of gray satin and puffing of satin over
tbe elbow The collar was cut in squares at
the neck and lined and puffed with gray satin,
and this also was the method of floi hing the
short basque. A gray satin bag held up the
skirt at tbe side.
ORNAMENTAL NOVELTIES.
New designs in lace pins exhibit a small high
crowned hat in solid gold at one end. trimmed
with an ostrich feather, in colored, real silver,
or in white silver set with seed pearls, and a
dainty parasol nearly closed at the other.
There are small ivy and flower sprays also in
silver enriched with coral or forget me-nots in
tu quoise, with enameid flies here and there
upon the twigs or leaves. Two little owig upon
an ivy braocu of the minutest proportions are
qu -.tutly sugges'ive.and there are straight bars
of real stiver set with pearls, two rows of
sm Ul seed pearls, for example, enclosing one
of line p nk coral, turquoise or amethyst, which
are ready fine, and a great improvement so
far ass yle or taste la concerned, on anything
shown heretofore in what has been considered
secondary Jewelry.
The old fashioned hand bags which ladies
