H. H0 YT €9- SON, 37 Wall Street, Norwalk, Conn. RUSSEL SAGE SCORED. Joseph Choate Turns the Shafts ot‘ Satire Upon the Modern Shyloek. Mr. Choate was not in his usual humor when he began to sum up the case of William G. Lnidlaw against Russel Sage for $50,000 damages for injuries sustained by the Explosion of dynamite in Sage’s ofiice three years ago, when N orcross dropped a bomb upon being refused a satchel full of money by the astute old Wall street sharp. Mr. Choate said: The counsel for the de- fense has admitted that Laidlaw honestly believed in his narration of what occurred in connection with the explosion. Iwon’t give Mr. Sage the benefit of any such ad- mission on my part. Mr. Sage has been engaged for years in a calling which hardens the heart and blunts the moral sense. He is a. money lender, a. note shaver, a stock gambler. He says to this man l‘go,” and he goeth; to this broker “come,” and he cometh,and to this banker “shell out,” and he shelleth. It is an hon- est man on one side and a. dishonest man on the other—confessedly so. Sage sat Icoking at Choate without a wince. Choate went over near him and talked down at him as he shook his hand almost in the face of Sage, and said: “On the witness stand he was shuffling, evading, prevaricating, skulking, dodg- ing, and sneaking.” There was not a twitch of a feature of Sage at this or when Choate fell back, and still pointing at him said: “Oh, he knows he owes his life to Laid- law. He spoke the truth in the drug store. Every one knows it who has heard the testimony in the case. Sage was the only one who was not. seriously injured by the explosion. \Vhy, he was shaving himself at the end of the fourth day, and beginning to shave others again at the end of ten days! Look at him! Seventy- eight years old, and keener than the average man on this jury. He wasn’t hurt at all. Ia‘ppeal to these immortal trousers and the debris of the coat tails which were mixed up with the debris of the table on which Sage gently subsided.” Mr. Choate then swung the trousers which Sage had worn that day. He said it was not possible to account for the want of injury to Sage except on the supposition that the missiles which would have gone to him had struck Laidlaw. Mr. Choate turned and said: “This trial is not between Sage and this poor man Laidlaw. It has become a. trial between Sage and the Judges and courts of this State. I have been often asked how I can afford to spend my time on this case in behalf of this penniless man when the compensation is so little commensurate with the labor. They are trying to tire him out by appeal. I’ll stand by him if it takes twenty trials before this man Sage is brought to the bar of justice.” There was applause, but Justice Pat- terson said he would punish any person for contempt who applauded. “Thank God,” said Mr. Choate when running over the evidence, “there are some members of the bar that this man of millions has not got under his control. People are afraid of this man of millions. Witnesses are afraid to come into court against him.” Mr. Choate said that the action would die with the death of either Laidlaw or Sage, and that Sage "would spend many thousands of his ill-gotten millions” to win the case. He had retained an astute lawyer, who had loaded the case down with exceptions for another appeal. TROTTING TRACK FOR A PONY. The Unusual Conceit of a \Veaithy Man in Brooklyn. A wealthy Brooklyn man recently built a handsome residence in a. densely popu- lated part of the city. His action created considerable surprise among his friends, as the structure he erected would have been an ornament to the most fashion- able neighborhood in the city. . It. adjoineda coal yard, while directly opposite itvare a number of ramshackled frame buildings, each one of which pro- vides homes for half a dozen families. The man’s next move was to purchase and then tear down one of these houses and erect. a fine red brick stable in its place. His last action, however, has stamped him as a. really eccentric char- actor. He purchased the coal yard behind his house, tore down the fences, and then had the place levelled off. Then he had a small trotting track laid out. The re- mainder of the ground he had sodded with the finest grass obtainable, and then an iron fence was erected, through which the whole of the interior is visible. The trotting track is a most diminutive affair, but amply large for the purpose'for which it was laid out, which is the amusement of the man’s nine-year-old son. This lad owns a. pretty little Shetland pony, which he rides like an expert, and any fine afternoon he may be seen tearing around the track at a great rate. The other children in the neighborhood gath- er around the fence and watch him en- viously. Occasionally he invites one of them in and gives him a ride around the track on his pony. He is a manly little fellow, and makes a pretty figure with his brown leather leggins as he urges on his pony. It is a strange sight in what is recognized as one of the poorer sec.ions of the city, and sometimes as many as two hundred people may be seen watching him through the fence. - A Question of Balances. The French-Canadians are not without a considerable sense of humor, and they highly appreciate the following story, told of a prosperous baker in a town not far from Quebec. The baker was in the habit of buying his butter in pound balls or rolls, from a farmer with whom he did a great deal of business. Noticing that these butter balls looked rather small, he weighed them, and' ' found that they were all un- der 3. pound in weight. Thereupon he had the farmer brought before the magistrate and accused of dis- honest practices. “These butter balls,” said the judge to the farmer, “certainly weigh less thana pound. Have you any scales?” “I have,” answered the farmer. “And have you weights?” “No, no weights.” “Then how can you weigh your butter balls?” “That’s very simple,” said the farmer: “while I’ve been selling the baker butter. I’ve been buying pound loaves of bread from him. and I used them for weights on my scales!” I ' A Virtue of It. Pertly—There is one thing I have 171 say in favor of the wind when it whistles.

THEY ARE VERY SHovw AND ARE ALSO VERY EXTRAVAGANT. ' The Sleeve Remains the Sensation, and It Continues to Take New Shapes. Velvet Blouses are popular. Plain Skirts are also Fashionable. Fashions in midwinter are not remark- able fcr new ideas or suggestive indica- tions of the coming modes, but there is a spirit of unrest about them which brings manv contradictions as to the changes we may expect. One authority asserts that the prospective skirts are to be made entirely without the haircloth lining and popular godet plaits, and that the sleeves are to be visibly reduced in size, while another positively assures us that the skirts are to be much fuller, stifiened and plaited to stand out well from the waist with the efiect of a bustle. and sleeves more balloon-like than ever. But whatever may be in prospect, there is no question as to the immediate con- dition of fulness, and we may continue to model our gowns after the approved style of the day. The skirts still vary in width between five and eight yards around at the bottom and the sleeve is constantly developing a. new variety. The latest evening sleeve is simply a. large bow of satin, velvet or ribbon about six inches wide, arranged high on the shoulder, with one large loop falling each way, and a knot or rosette in the middle. Satin loops are made double, and loops of velvet are lined with silk, while ribbon is tied in a bow with ends. A soft drapery of satin around the armhole is caught close at the top, and from this a frill of Spangled lace falling down nearly to the elbow, is another pretty fancy. Sleeves are cut so that all the fulness comes from underneath in- stead of at the top of the arm, and again, to show the outline of the arm, at the in. side, with the fulness falling at the back. The broad, sloping effect is given to the shoulders by wide, plain epaulets and fan plaitings of satin or velvet, edged with lace, as shown. Blouses of velvet in a different color from the skirt are a very popular style "in Paris. They are made quite plain, and worn with crepon, smooth cloth and silk skirts. There is no disputing the fact that this is an extravagant period of dress, but there is such an endless variety in mate- rials and ideas for using them that the fashions in vogue are compatible with small expense as well as large. Plain skirts are quite as fashionable as those which are trimmed elaborately with fur and jet, and at the moment nothing is more popular for dress trimming than black satin ribbon, which is not wildly extravagant even if many yards are re- quired. A pretty idea for a colored cre- pon or plain woolen goods is to arrange bOWS of black satin ribbon five inches wide, with steel buckles in the centre, at intervals all around the bottom of the skirt. The bodice should be of silk, the same shade as the skirt, studded all over with irridescent jet, and across the front in the form of a yoke two bands of nar- rower ribbon. have a bow and long ends at either side of the front. Rose color, in all its shades, is still popular, and a. new tone resembles the damask rose, with a shadow of black about it which makes it very ‘rich, espe- cially in velvet. ’ It is said that the tailor gowns of the early spring are to be quite lavishly and expensively trimmed with bands of the cloth stitched on in‘scroll patterns, with braiding, or with narrow bias bands of black satin, which is the latest fancy. These bands outline the seams of the waist and skirt. Sashes are very popular again, particu— ' larly when they are of the new chine rib- bons. A plain blue .tafleta silk, made up plain for a. young girl, has a sash of blue and pink chine ribbons. It is tied in a large bow in the back, and the ends fall on either side of the plaits in the skirt. Pale green silk makes a very pretty even- ing dress, with chine ribbon for a twist around the neck, butterfly bOWs on the shoulder as a substitute for sleeves. and a belt and sash at the back.- Blue or pink crepons make useful dresses, and trimmed with lace insertion, two rows around the skirt, and striped on the front of the full waist,they are exceedingly pretty. Bands of satin ribbon to match the crepon go over the shoulders and terminate in ros- ettes and long ends on each side of the front—N. Y. Sun. ‘ Advertise in the GAZETTE.
