New York, Kept. !10. —It will not do to
hurry over fall shopping, for there is so much
variety, so much that seems attractive, that
one will inevitably repent, in the leisure
that follows, if important purchases are
made in haste. Still, there is much to be
thankful for in the general features which
fashion presentsfor inspection and approval.
One can hardly avoid stumbling over very
good things; the fine, soft serges in plain
and plaid patterns; the resistant tricots in
dark mixtures; the comfortable looking
cloaks and jackets, and more remarkable
still, made-up woollen costumes in compara
tively simple designs, the drapery lifted and
long instead of cut and bunched, as the
usual style has been, long after it ceased to
be the fashion.
“What, oh! what shall I get for useful
ness, for effectiveness, for good taste and,
as far as possible, include the latest ideas }”
is the cry of bewildered women, whose de
sires are more comprehensive than their for
tunes. Wait a little and think it out.
Where do you go} What do you do} Un
der what conditions do you live} You must
not get what you do not want simply be
cause it is pretty to look at. You can have
the pleasure of seeing it in the shops or upon
some other person’s back, but you do not
want it; it would only be a trouble to you
if you had it, because it would not serve
your purpose as woll as something else.
WOOLEN FABRICS.
Wool is in the ascendant this season for
all ordinary purposes; and the materials are
fine and firm, with more of body than for
some years previously; but none of the
rough effects-—the is, knotted, tinted and
the like, which have had a vogue for some
time in the past. Cloth is the fabric, above
all others, for tailor-made costumes. What
the English call “face,” or finished cloth,and
we call broadcloth; and it is in
this that the finest designs and
shades of color are to be found.
The f Bordeaux red—the castor —the sage
and moss green—the Gobelin blue and dark
fawns are seen. Certain shades of green,
Gobelin blue and mahogany or Bordeaux
red are the “high” colors of the season; and
they are enriched or contrasted with or by
beautiful trimmings. The newest and most
elegant of these are open passementeries m
beads and bullion cord, or in silk cord, and
gold or silver thread or braid; or in all silk
cord and braid arranged to form conven
tional palms or fronds and enclosed to make
the essential stripe or border.
Of course, the richest and most distin
guished of all ornamentation is that which
is executed to order in specialized materials
made for the purpose, as the knife braiding
in silk,or gold, oroxydized silk, in such shops
as Redfern’s; but these are necessarily lim
ited in their application, and are not within
the reach of all, of even fashionable
buyers. But these people do not make the
mistake of using common tinsel, if they can
not afford the best untarnishable gold
thread or braid. They use silk braids,
larger cords and simpler military and more
open patterns. But such passementeries
and open trimmings as can bo bought in the
shops are, many of them, sufficiently costly.
Nine and ten dollars per yard is enough for
a headed stripe, less than three inches in
width and of which two would be required
to form a side panel, and the majority of
autumn purchasers look and leave it, con
tenting themselves with something at a
tenth or less than a tenth.
For the more expensive designs, which
range from #2 50 to $lO per yard, it may
be said that it does not take much to fur
nish a dress. The panel, the vest front, the
collar and the narrow cuffs. There is no
bordering to the basque, no edging to the
long draperies, which are laid as flat as pos
sible, and in either straight or diagonal
lines.
NEW STYLES.
A great feature of the season's styles is
the contrast of the new shades of green,
blue and red with block. For example, a
moss green cloth costume is trimmed with
black; that is, it lias a panel consisting of
three stripes open black pasementerie,
pointed vest front; high collar and cuffs are
outlined to match. With this dress is worn
a large, black hat; and later a Bordeaux
coat of red cloth with black feather trim
ming. Or the jacket and hat may be ma
hogany red with Mack finish.
Quite anew idea is to use tinted whim
with red. For example, a mahogany red
cloth suit has a three-cornered revers on
the point of the basque, turned and faced
with white corded silk. The hat may be a
large, white, soft felt with furred border
and all white feathers and trimmings; or it
may lie a sailor hat of cloth, piped and red.
The large hats are becoming to largo
girls, with plump, round faces. White is
used with moss green in the same way. A
charming costume was made recently, by a
celebrated firm, of fine green doth, with
knife braiding of white chenille silk and
silver, equal to the richest embroidery. This
formed panel, vest, col ar and cuffs. The
vest was partly concealed by one side of
the bodice forming a point and l>eing
fastened over it The hat was all white,
large, with a band of the same trimming
as that upon the dress round the edge of
of the brim and a group of magnificent
while ostrich feathers, r i which one was
long for decoration.
A white bonnet to be worn with a green
costume was made recently, the crown of
of which was white cloth, upon which were
embroidered tiny birds in gold thread and
green chenille; the eyes, minutest specks of
ruby beads. The front was a full puff of
green velvet and the garniture two white
wings, held by a knot of green velvet . The
panel to this dress was of white doth, em
broidered like the crown of the bonnet, the
latter evidently made of a piece of it, the
embroidery having been done by hand.
These contrasts are very novel and very
striking in their effect, though less so than
might Ee supposed, because the greens and
Hie reds are soft and artistic: not harsh or
glaring. Naturally they should not be copied
Fiy those who can only do so in common ma
terials. Finest colors and shades of color
ire only found in really handsome fabrics,
ind a contrast which is beautiful in rich
materials and lovely shades is simply vulgar
ind pronounced in common showy colors.
The samo care and restraint must lie exhib
(“l in avoiding tinsel by those who cannot
iffnrd true metal. Not'ouly does the gild
ing or silvered surface disappear very
iinckly, leaving discoloration and shabbi
tess, but the materials upon which they are
['laced are marked by them and the appear
luce of wear and tear hastened.
TIIE PERPETUAL AND PERENNIAL
ficotch plaids have not linen so attractive
for many a day as t hey are this season; and
Properly combined and adapted can be worn
by stout as well as tilia people. Besides the
’lan plaids, which are somewhat arbitrary
ind trim best, with solid velvet, there are
very handsome plaids made in several
larger shadings of a plain color with which
;hey are combined; and b<> arranged that
hey have the effect of a stripe, the cross
tun s being lower in tone and the high colors
in the faintest lines.
The body part of such a combination is of
!he plain color, the plaid forming plaited
nanel, vest and finish for sleeves and throat.
I'ho width is such that eight yards of the
ilain and one and a quarter of the plaid
make a full dress at a cost of {'ll for the
Material.
The pretty Vassal' checks are bebt made
ap of themselves and trimmed with velvet,
they are small and in lovely shades of olive
and brown, dark greens anil black with hair
linos of red; and grays with black and
lines of yellow. Velvet collar and cuffs, !
velvet revers or vest are all that is needed
as mounting, but a panel may be added if I
desired; or a facing to the side of the turned
over drapery, should the design admit it.
The theory upon which n check or plaid
dress is trimmed with velvet, is, that the
plain, dark or neutral wool, having no char
acter of its own is overpowered if put in
small quantity with the more expensive
plaid: while the velvet holds its own in any
quantity with a woolen material of any
kind, by its superior character and richness;
and is therefore more effective in small
quantities than plain wool would be; and
satisfies the sense of proportion, possibly
without the individual knowing the reason
why.
POPLINS REVIVED.
Poplins have been revived abroad, and
many handsome materials have been im
ported which are, like poplins, mixtures of
silk and wool. But it is doubtful how far
they “take” with us. The Bengoiines have
had no success. At asl 50 or $2 per yard
they are dearer than minor silks, which
have been so much improved of late years;
while for their price, or very little more, a
good, all silk faille or satin francaise can be
bought. The most attractive of the new
mixed fabrics are in rich striped or other
patterns, in one color. The artistic effect
of the dull, twilled outlining of wool or still
finer veining of foliage, Greek or Eastern
design, upon soft, satin ground without
gloss, shows to what jierfection the ordinary
manufacturer of materials has been
brought. It must bo said also, that
there is no ground for the old
prejudice against mixed materials on ac
count. of shrinkage of one of these from the
other. Modern skill has made the compati
bility in these cases perfect, so that they can
be used as parts of costumes, as walking
skirts, or for small or large wraps with
safety. Nothing could be better adapted to
combination with velvet or plush than these
beautiful materials.
In still richer and more costly stuffs the
short effects have been brought out in a
way to take the world of fashion by storm.
But brilliant as they are—and for this very
reason—their reign is sure to be short. 1 n
silk they make beautiful linings, but they
are not becoming to the face, excepting in
very subtle or delicate colorings and ma
nipulated with the utmost skill. The opal
ine and snashell tints, for example, are ex
quisite; but they must be companioned with
delicate, white lace in seashell or maiden
hair fern patterns; or with white, Canton
crepe embroidered in the lovely faint colors
and delicate little figures, which the shading
of the silk suggests.
Dark, shot velvet is also capable of fine
treatment. Take the mOrdore brown, for
instance, with golden fights which only
show in the light, like* ancient Venetian
glass. Put with this dull, gold-colored
satin, striped with an open cord and bril
liant beaded passementerie in modern brown,
or with an embroidery in gold thread, brown
silk and chenille, bodice trimming to match;
and you will have a rich reception dress,
the bonnet and small wrap for which can be
carried out exactly to match the dress part
of the costume. These shot velvets will be
available in many ways and present mag
nificent possibilities; but they will not, it is
to be hoped, be copied in the common, linen
backed and short, thin piled fabric, for the
attempt could not possibly be successful
from any point of view. In small quantities
they are extremely good for decorative pur
poses, for bags, for frames, for small
mantles and even long cloaks, which may
be lined w ith plush or quilled satin of the
same ci .lor; old gold, olive, red or heliotrope,
of whic h the undertone is composed.
A short costume, one of a recently im
ported trousseau, is made entirely of mor
dore brown velvet, shot with dull gold and
trimmed with gold and brown cords, over
I>anel and inserted folds of gold-colored
satin, Cords play an important part in the
trimmings of the season. Bets are exhibited
which festoon the side of the skirt and front
of the bodice, the ends fastened by a series
of passementerie buttons on one side and
caught up in a group on the shoulder oa the
other, that is to the left.
ARTISTIC IDEAS
and the play of fancy in dress find principal
expression in the preparation for elegant in
door, dinner and evening gowns. There is
not much opportunity for diversified design
in heavy fabrics, which must be worn wiih
coats, cloaks or jackets in our cold climate.
Besides,therejs a reaction in England against
big sleeves and esthetic taste, which have
reigned in the studios, displayed their od
dities in the Grosvenor Gallery, and fur
nished subjects for imitation or ridicule to
the rest of the world for some years past;
and so the gathers and the Liberty draperies
have given place to the several outlines,
and to the strictest style of tailor-made cos
tumes.
But the craze which deserted England
(led to France and found a welcome there.
Thus it happens that w - hile our walking
dresses, w-hich we copy from English and
German styles, are conventional to the last
degree, our morning dresses from Paris
are tea-gowns and our dinner and evening
dresses half copies of pictures in the London
National Gallery and half of Ellen Terry’s
Beatrice or Portia.
The rich stuffs, the damasks and silver
and gold brocades, the velvet with the glow
of firelight or sunlight in its folds and the
stately moire, lend themselves to pic
turesque design: and enable women of taste
and means to cultivate styles adapted to
their personal requirements. Beauty never
before had such chances, for never before
could it adapt its clothing to its own type
and characteristics. Splendor grows with
every recurring season, notwithstanding
“corners” and “set-backs.” Small, real
diamonds are u-ed now to stud the handles
of fans and parasols and to form figures,
such as flies, minute horseshoes, excrescents
and the like on such as are made of real
lace. A hundred dollars used to lie consid
ered a high price for a fan, now - we have
them in the shops at #4OO and #SOO and this
does not represent the value of some pos
sessed by wealthy ladies, for whom they
have been made to order.
French novelties in lionnets have also
figured in England for some time past.
They consist of full, oval crown and puffed
fronts thrown up a little from the centre.
They are more generally becoming than the
little capote, more protective and have
taken on the grace which the Parisian touch
imparts to whatever it undertakes to manip
ulate. The fashion of making the crown
different from the brim still obtains, and
many are of cloth, embroidered, beaded or
trimmed to match suits; the full front,
which is rather deep, and to which a sort of
quilled effect is imparted, being of velvet.
It is the upward kink which saves the
brim from suggesting an ancient '-ap, and
the genius of the milliner is displayed in
avoiding the quilled ruffle on the one hand
and the too expressive point—like a turned
up nose—which has tieen a feature of the
millinery of the past three or four years.
Velvet ribbon strings—it may bo re
marked —are used with these velvet brims,
which are always of a darker one than the
cloth. * Jenny June.
The Wonderful Healing Properties of
Darby’s Prophylactic Fluid.
Wherever a preventing, healing, cleansing
and deodorizing injection or wash is re
quired, use Darbys Prophylactic Fluid.
Any inflamed surface, external or internal,
treated with the fluid will lie quickly re
lieved. It has effected cures that had re
sisted the best medical skill.
Advice to Motners.
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup should
always be used when children are cutting
teeth. It relieves the little suffer at once; it
produces natural, quiet sleep by relieving
the child from pain and the little cherub
awakes as “bright as a button.”
It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the
child, softens the gums, allays ail pain, re
lieves wind, regulates the bow els, and is the
beet, known remedy for diarrhoea, whether
arising from teething or other causes. 25
cents a bottle.

THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, OCTOBER I, 1887.
A BIG FLORIDA SYNDICATE.
Ten Million Dollars to be Ibvested in
Silk and Other Industries.
Mayor St, Clair Abrams has just returned
to Tavares from Nu- York. The Tavares
Herald has interviewed him with the fol
lowing result:
“To prevent any exagerated or erroneous
statements lining made public, I will state
that part of the work I was engaged in dur
ing my three months’ stay in New York
was the organization of a syndicate of En
glish, French and German capitalists togeth
er with the New York capitalist, ft>r the
purpose of carrying out the plans
formed by me ten years ago for the
development of South Florida, aud to
further which I secured from the Legislature
of the State in ISSI the charter of the Pen
insular Land, Transportation and Manufac
turing Company. To this end the New
York capitalist referred to made two trips
to Europe while I was in New York, visit
ing London, Paris, Berlin and Frankfort,
and we have so far succeeded in the work
that, at last accounts, nearly $1,000,000 of
the $2,500,000 ot' the capital neces
sary to begin with has been subscribed.
We propose to complete the Tavares,
Apopka and Gulf railroad and branches; to
build a railroad from Tavares westward
across Lake Harris, according to the plan
of the Tavares, Brooksville and Gulf rail
road charter, and another road from Tav
ares south west wwd, probably to Tampa,
adding, altogether, some 500 miles to the
railroad transportation of Florida. Under
the Peninsular Land, Transportation and
Manufacturing Company's charter, we are
authorized to increase our capital stock to
$10,000,000. While the railroads are con
structing we propose a comprehensive sys
tem of settling the country on each side of
our proposed roads by bringing colonies
from Great Britain, Germany, France and
Italy, and providing them with occupation
to which they are accustomed.
“I will state that one of our plans of
development is the establishment of silk
culture in Florida by bringing here hun
dreds of families of French, who have been
accustomed from childhood to raising the
silk worm and who are experts in ilk cul
ture. We propose to set out mulberry trees,
build cottages and have everything ready
for those people before they leave France,
so that when they get here, they can go
right to work raising silk. With our eli
mate, we can raise what 1 term two crops
of silk annually, as, in some parts of China,
we can have two distinct hatchings annu
ally. The foliage of the mulberry tree in
South Florida remains succulent for over
nine months in the year, thus affording
food for silkworms from February until
November. There are thousands of fami
lies in France who would cheerfully migrate
to engage in this work, if they had the
chance which the company I am organizing
proposes to give them, iso, in like manner,
we shall arrange for the colonies from other
countries in the industries to which they are
accustomed. We .also propose the estate
lishing of manufacturing enterprises of
every possible character likely to become
profitable and permanent.
“The scheme is large, but is perfectly
feasible, and 1 expect to carry it through
in its entirety witnin six years; and I ex
pect, further, to have all the projected rail
roads completed within three years, and to
begin work on them within six months. I
shall probably have to go to London in
December, in fact, the members of the
syndicate there have been urgent for me to
meet them in London next month; but I
could not, as I had to return to Florida to
make the canvass on the county seat ques
tion and to attend to my law practice.”
“Will the scheme interfere with or sus
pend the work on the Tavares, Apopka and
Gulf railroad!”
“Not for one day! not for one second!”
answered Maj. St. Clair Abrams, emphati
cally. ‘‘The work of laying the rails is pro
gressing now. We shall be running cars to
Oakland and Clermont before Nov. 1, and
we intend to be in Kissimmee before Dec.
15. There will be no delay whatever. In
fact I have purchased and paid for $50,000
worth of rails and fastenings, and the
money to pay for them was furnished by
New York capitalists organizing the syndi
cate with me, and I am expecting a letter
daily, informing me that ?100,000 more has
been placed to my credit. You can put it
down as a fact that the Tavares, Apopka
and Gulf road, or rather the division of it
we are now working on, will be completed
and in operation this year.”
“That is quite reassuring, Major, but
what about the road eastward toward
Seno-a and the St. Johns river!”
“O,” answered the Major, “I have ar
ranged for that, although the foreign syn
dicate will have nothing to do with it. It
will be constructed by my construction
company, and will run from Tavares by
the south fide of Lake Joanna, all other
reports and statements to the contrary not
withstanding. Next week 1 shall see the
people of Seneca and the Northeast and
conclude the arrangements with them, and
shall liegin the work within twenty days
after.”
“Will it be built by the Blue Spring,
Orange City and Atlantic Railroad Com
pany r "
“No,” answered Maj. Abrams. “The
company that have negotiated with me for
the construction will purchase that road,
and it is likely that the name will be changed
to the Tavaras, Orange City and Atlantic
railroad. You can state, further, that the
whole matter of this line from the St. John’s
to Tavares is left entirely to me, as I shall
demonstrate to the satisfaction of every
body within thirty days.”
“Will your plans for the road conflict in
any way with those of Maj. Hollister, the
Superintendent of the Blue Spring, Orange
City and Atlantic railroad!”
“Good heavens, man, no!” the Major re
plied, laughing. “Why, 1 expect and will
get the very heartiest co-operation from
Maj. Hollister, who has twice been to
Tavares to see about the matter.”
“It is reported that the road would go by
the north side of Lake Joanna, and that
Ma.i. Hollister favored this route!”
“This is a mistake. Maj. Hollister, of
course, has looked over the several routes
coming into Tavares, but, as the route side
of Lake Joanna gives three miles less of
railroad and an easier line to buikl, it was
decided at a meeting in New York wilh me
last week that the line should be run from
Seneca east and south to Lake Joanna, and
I intend to begin the cutting of the right of
way on that line as soon as I have seen the
Seneca people. It may be put down as a
certainty that this road will be built during
the coming winter.”
“How a tout the Tavares and Palatka
road. Major V
“I hope within the next thirty days to
definitely announce the beginning of this
work. Its construction within the next
twelve months is as certain as the fact that
Tavares has five roads centering here
already. The absence of one party from
New York has alone prevented the consum
mation of this plan already.”
♦ 4 * 3 * *
After some further unimportant conver
sation, the interview ended. As an evi
dence of the extent and bona tide character
of the work Major St. Clair Abrams is
doing, during the interview (which took
place Saturday evening) Geo. A. Butler,
the secretary of the Tavares, Apopka and
Gulf Company, entered with a batch of
letters winch had arrived by the Northern
mail. Major A. suspended the conversa
tion fora while to examine his mail. The
first letter he opened and read lie handed to
us. It contained an offer from a. New York
capitalist of *130,000 for railroad purposes.
In the same package was a telegram from
New York, from another party, notifying
him that another large sum of money
would be placed to his credit by a specified
date.
