GETTING READY FOR SUMMER.
A Chapter on Summer Silks, Shirt Walsts
_ and Washable Materials.
Published by special" arrangement with the
New York Sun.
The variety in washing materials
must be seen to be appreciated, for it
surpasses anything ever shown here be-
fore. The new piques are much finer
and more pliable than the old- fashioned
fabric of this kind, and they come.in
tiny stripes and figures of,satin finish
in all the light and dark shades of every
fashionable color, and with open work
embroidered patterns scattered here
and there. The fancy cotton crepes
and crepons are very pretty. “Wash-
ing-peplin” is mentioned in the foreign
fashion notes as one of our new mate
rials. White lawns with a narrow stripe
of black, dainty flowers between, and
tiny pinhead dots of black all over them,
make pretty summer gowns, and they
are very cheap. Chusan tafiets, which
is a cotton material with a printed warp,
looks much like fine gingham, comes in
patterns which resemble silk, and costs
about twenty cents a. yard.
The colors which seem to hr 1d the
list this season are blue in all its vary-
ing shades, especially turquoise. green,
and brown, but there is such a medley
of color in the chameleon silks and rib-
bons which shades so differently in dif-
ferent lights that all the colors of the
rainbow seem to be blended together in
one indescribable changing tint.
The close coat sleeve is still promised
for the near future, but all styles and
sizes of puffs are . offered as a sort of
compromise between the large and the
small, to win the way for the one which
is not contemplated with any plcfloure
by the majority of women.
The shirt waist is made with a nar-
row-pointed yoke in the back, and with
or without a yoke in front, and the col-
lar and cuffs may be of the same ma-
terial or of white linen. Dimities.
. lawns, and batistes, plain, striped, and
patterned all over in Persian designs,
make the daintiest shirt waists, and
these usually have a soft turn-back cufl
of the same, and either a white linen
collar or a colored satin stock with a
white piping set in the edges and a nar-
row satin tie to match is tied around
thejneck over this. Sleeves of these
thin waists sometimes are tuckedfin one
cluster at the top, or in two, one being
K .‘
well down toward the waist. Swivel
silks, ginghams, and the heavier cotton
cheviots are ‘also made up into these
waists, but the batistes seem to be the
favorites this season. The light colors
look pretty With white muslin collars
and cuffs trimmed with lace. and corn
batiste waists are trimmed up and down
or across with innumerable frills of
narrow Valenciennes lace. Another
style has a yoke of corn embroidery,
with a frill of embroidery around the
edge. Very handsome are the dotted
Swiss muslin waists, lined with silk
and trimmed elaborately with lace and
ribbon. These usually- have . ,elbow
sleeves and a wide collar of muslin with,
yellow lice on the edge.
SPECIMENS OF THE DOCTOR’S RHE-
TORIC WHEN HE’S FEELING GOOD.
In 3 Recent Address the Learned Doctor
Who Overturned New York’s Police De-
partment, Cuts Loose in an Amazing
and Highly Entertaining Fashion.
Rev. Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, of
New York, is not only one of the two
or three best known clergymen in the
United States, but is the one most con-
spicuous clerical warrior.
He attacks with a vigor that knows
no tiring the things he-believes hateful,
and his denunciations ring with an in-
vective and bitterness which have few
parallels.
Here are some characteristic extracts
from a recent address:
“As gorillas, snakes, fleas, and other
vermin fill a niche in the divine econ-
omy of material things, so their human
analogues, although an inherent nui~
sance, are an historic utility.”
“Our cities are hotbeds of every spe-
cies of individual, social, and economic
.,iniquity that the cultivated depravity
of the human heart can devise.”
“New York is only a. sample of what
distinguishes our cities generally. New
York five years ago was literally fester-
noisome putridity.”
“Binghamton, a hotbed of Tammany-
ism, not Tammanyism of the Croker
type, but baptized Tammanyism. Tam-
manyism that has been christened over
a dry fcnt—Plattism, that is by so much
worse than Crokerism, as it has caught
the trick of decency and millineried it-
self with the afiectations of respecta-
bility.”
“My roiled condition dates from
away back, and neither does drought
dry the channel of my feelings nor cold
weather freeze it over.”
He thus described the New York
Legislature :

REV. DR. PARKHURST.
“When two sets of thieves seek to
discourage one another’s rapacity, you
always know there is an amicable un-
derstanding as to the lootings. That is
legislation. That is the sort of unctious
mawthat is even now watering with
beastly voracity at the succulent pros-
pect.”
About the Greater New York bill
Parkhurst had this to say:
“The meanest and sneakiest thing
about the consolidation bill is that it is
not a consolidation bill at all, but the
mere shell of a bill that will be loaded
by and by with you don’t know what,
and they don’t mean you shall know
what.
“This movement is being jammed
through by Tom Platt and Dick Croker,
either of whom, if possible, is worse
than the other, whose souls are reputed
to have soldered themselves together in
the damnable conspiracy to make the
consolidated city pasturage ground up on
which to graze their political cattle.
Dr. Parkhurst made the remarkable
statement concerning the Raines’ Ex-
cise bill which recently became a law
in New York State.
“If the Ten Commandments had been
jammed through in the way the Raines
bill has been jammed through, I would
break them—the whole of them.”
.Of Senator Lexow, chairman of the
famous Lexow Committee, which in-
vestigated the Police Department of
New York and was largely instru-
mental in overthrowing Tammany, the
Doctor says: .
“That little pip of a Lexow that is
saved from being a barren zero only be
cause of the integer that he leans
against and helps to make ten of, pro-
poses to govern us."
“That little rubescent stateman from
Rockland county, Platt’s right bower.”
“That turgescent little exclamation
point.”
Still Criticising Alfred Austin.
England’s new Poet Laureate has
been called so many uncomplimentary
names that it is difficult to remember
even a part of them. One title, how-
ever, seems likely to stick to him. “Al-
fred the Little,” in contradistinction to
is poetic predecessor and the Saxon
King of Britain’s early history, is so apt
and amusing that Mr. Austin will find
it a. hard one to shake off. -

LOVE’S LONG “H ELLO.”
A Pair of Lovers Who 'Use the Long Bis-
tance ’Phone.
It is pleasing to know that modern
science has been made a hand maiden
of the affections. _Many illustrations of
this fact might be given, but none more
original and delightful than that which
the Sunday Journal brings to the atten
tion of its readers. ‘
Two lovers, one of them living in the
city of New York and the‘other in S yra-
cuse, are in the habit of holding daily,
almost hourly, conversations with one
another over a long distance telephone.
Of course it is amatter of great expense,
but that is a trifle not to be considered
in; comparison with the joy that is
brought to two fond hearts.
Miss Ida Strauss is the fair person
who thus honors the telephone in New
York. She lives in West Seventyrfirst
street. , The happy swain is a Mr. Mar-
shall. who lives and does business in
Syracuse, in the State of New York.
Both are rich, but Mr. Marshall’s
business keeps him in Syracuse, and it is
essential to their future happiness the.
it should not _be neglected. Money is
hardly a matter ‘of consideration t:.-
either of these two fortunate persons.
but business is business. Therefore
they have resorted to an unlimited use
of the long distance telephone.
Miss Strauss has the telephone in-
’ stalled in her charming boudoir. A vase
of fresh cut, beautiful flowers always
stands on the top of the instrument. .
Near it is a photograph of Mr. Marshall,
who is absent in the flesh, but ever pres-
ent in the voice. On the wall is alarge
picture of him.
The room is filled with such articles
as a woman of wealth and cultivation
might be expected to possess. Miss
Strauss is thoroughly well read and a
great traveler. Books in many lan—
guages are to be seen on their shelves,
and souvenirs of visits'to almost every
European country from Egypt to En-
gland.
Miss Strauss is one of the chief organ-
izers of a system of clubs for working
girls, known as Pansy clubs. She spends
much time and money in these places,
lecturing on foreign travels and on liter-
,ature to the girls and reading extracts
from popular works to them.
The generous hospitality of her family
Recently they paid a visit
to their native village in Alsace and
gave a magnificent banquet to which
” 3 ' ‘v l every inhabitant from the oldest to the
fl 1 Youngest was invited.
Mr. Marshall, the .lover, whose exi-
gent business keeps him nailed down in
Syracuse, is a brilliant young man, and
will, it is probable, become one of our
great millionaires. The table of the
long distance telephone is next to his
desk, and he is ever ready to reply to
its tender summons.
Gen. Grant’s Commissary-General.
Congressman Lacy of Iowa tells an
interesting army story of Gen. Morgan,
Commissary General of the United.
States Army, recently related to his
former comrades in arms.
Gen. Morgan was Grant’s commissary,
and after the surrender at Appomattox
successfully fed Lee’s entire army of
25,000 men, in addition to Grant’s
troops. During one of Grant’s cam-
paigns ithe Confederates by a flank
movement rounded up 26,000 steers be-
longing to his commissary department,
and as soon as the damage became
known in Washington a despatch ar-
rived in Grant’s headquarters from See-
retary Stanton demanding to know in
categorical language who was responsi-
ble for the loss.
“I am,” promptly telegraphed Grant
in reply, and there the matter ended.
But Gen. Morgan states that while
Grant thus stood between him and the
irate Secretary of War, he had a pecu-
liar way of showing his resentment to
him. On several occasions when there
were visitors in camp, Grant would ex-
claim:
‘.‘I have the greatest Commissary-
General in the world—not only of mod-
ern times but ancient times as well—~
Col. Morgan here,” and he would point
him out with an appearance of honest
pride.
“How is that, General?” the visitor,
would ask. . .
“How is that?” Grant would say;
“why. he feeds our army and the en-
emy’s too.”——Washington Post.
DIisunderstood.
“Would you like to take a chance?”
asked the timid, rosy-cheeked maiden
of the stranger at the church fair.
“Would I?” exclaimed the stranger
radiantly. “Well, I should say I would.
but—-——” his voice fell to a whisper and
the eager light in his eyes died to a far-
away, sad expression, "I am already
married.”- Washington Evening Times.
Gifts to Chicago After the Fire.
The cash contributions for the benefit
of the sufferers of the Chicago fire in
1871 amounted, within a month after
the disaster, to $4,200,000, and the con-
tributions in the way of supplies, food,
clothing and other necessaries to per-
haps as much more.

Everybody has it.
That Tired Feeling.
Don’t know what it means.
Keeps you awake at night.
Destroys daily comfort.
Wearies the body. Worries the mind.
You would shake it off.
You would be healthful and strong.
So you can.
If you go at it right. .
First learn what it means.
Some say it’s bad blood.-
Others say it’s a lazy liver.
They’re all wrong.
Tired feeling means tired Kidneys.
Just as lame back means Lame Kid-
neys.
And backache means kidney ache.
How do we know it?
Because Doan’s Kidney Pills cure it.
‘ And they are for kidneys only.»
How can,we prove it ? \
Because Norwalk pecule say so.
Here is a case in point.
Mrs. White wife of A. C. White the
batter, address No. 47 River street.
Mr. White says. “My wife took Doan’s
Kidney Pills.” '
“I‘ook them for backache.”
f‘Foun‘d them just as represented.”
"Is much improved.”
“Doan’s Kidney Pills did the work.”
