OF BURNING INTEREST IN NEW YORK The Small Talk of the Metropolis is En- tertaining Even to Outsiders. The following paragraphs were taken from the New York Sun, and are vouched for by the editor, who causes to be published each day at the head of his columns the declaration that “If you see it in the Sun it’s so”: Hot cross b1 ns‘are as popular as ever in this town. Almost anything is sold nowadays on outdoor stands. The bicycle is now so commonly seen in Broadway as -scarcely to attract at- tention there. ' In subtu'ban districts it is not at all unusual to see children going to school on bicycles. One now and then encounters a Scotch- man in kilt and claymore as the sign of a tobacco shop. Faces of Salvation Army women are seen in the showcases of photographers in many parts of the town. In court Hetty Green was on hand with her latest lawyer, Robert D. Bene- dict. She wore a small bouquet of red and white carnations. A New Yorker, who has a summer residence in Idaho, says that the pres- ent high price of beef may be due in. part to the scarcity of cattle on the Idaho ranges. A barber shop has been opened in Hester street just west of the Bowery, where one can get shaved for three cents and have his hair cut for five cents. As one goes quickly upward in a rapid, smooth moving elevator in one of the lofty modern buildings, he passes from a region of shade up into a region of light, Where sunshine streams along the halls and everything is bright and cheerful. The coaching season was opened yes- terday with the first trip of the four in hand Pioneer. Dr. W. Seward Webb looked up at Diana on the tower of the Madison Square Garden and then said to Col. De Lancey Kane: “Great weather for the trip. colonel; a north- west Wirid.” Col. Kane smiled and answered that he couldn‘t ask for any- thing better. The bride elect was very beautiful in a. gown of pale pink satin and chiffon, which offered a delicate contrast to the white fur. When she was comfortably established on her throne the fun began. At first it was like a summer breeze, making just a little rustle, but it in- creased steadily until at 2 A. M. it had become a gale of mirth and nonsense. In spite «‘3 the hilarity, an atmosphere of the utmost refinement and a true club spirit prevailed. THE FREE PASS AS A BRIBE. Little Else Can Be Made of It, Yet It is Universally Sought by Legislators. When a railroad sends out free passes to the holders of public office it intends that such passes shall operate as a bribe, and long experience in poli- tics shows that they have the intended effect. It is a theory of some holders of such passes that they are too high minded to be influenced by favors which they ac- cept from those whose interest it is to secure special privileges or special ex- emptions at the expense of the public. But that is mere theory. In practice the Officeholder is habitually bribed when he makes a habit of deadheading railroads, telegraph companies and other corporations liable to be affected by the way in which he does his duty and leaves it undone. It is well known to all who know how political conventions and legislatures are manipulated that free railroad passes, are among the most powerful means of controlling them. Hence many of the States have constitutional provisions for the impeachment and removal of any Officeholder found using a free pass. For the same reason the Interstate Com- merce law prohibited the issuance of such passes. Public Honors to a Veteran Nag. One of the strangest celebrations ever held took place at Greenville, 133., re- cently. It was the thirty-third anni- versary of the birth of “Old Daddy,” the veteran horse used nineteen years in transporting the mails in this city. The procession formed at the engine house at 1.20. Mr. Hughes, Daddy’s owner, accompanied by Postmaster Perry, .rode at the head in the mail wagon, which was drawu by Daddy. Then came the band, in regular order, followed by ex- press, delivery and other wagons in great numbers, all of which, with the horses drawing them, were profusely decorated with flags, bunting and ban- ners. The outfit covered eight or nine squares in length and traversed the principal streets, finally disbanding at the starting point. The entire city turned out and many houses were deco- rated in honor of Old Daddy, who seemed to take a placid enjoyment of the honors paid him. m. Affliction. “You seem ill,” she said, soljcitous- 1y. “I am not feeling well,” the youth replied. “The fact is I’m troubled with heart failure.” “Oh, how terrible!” “Yes. I started 'four times to ask your father’s consent to our marriage, and every time my heart failed me.”— Washington Star. Greater New York.

Summer Linens Are as Dainty as China Turk- Summer and Crepon Effects Are Shown. ish Batiste is Something New. Capes. The dinner dress illustrated here is of lilac bengaline ' richly embroidered in silk, gold and jet. The visiting gown is of gros de Suez in a soft shade of pink- ish gray. The pointed collar is made of rose pink silk embroidered with ruby beads and silk over a deep plisse of silk muslin in the shade of the gown. The summer cottons and linens are very dainty and lovely, and carry out in colors and designs all the new features seen in the silks and wool. Some of the zephyrs have a. distinct chine effect, and there are many cotton stufi‘s showing crepon waves or seersucker stripes. A very lovely material is a buff cotton with a creamy, crinkly stripe running through it. On the plain stripes are printed tiny Pompadour rosebuds. Most of the materials are decidedly fanciful and show combinations of color as well as a mixture of threads. Indeed, the combination of cotton and silk in the same goods is the most prominent novel- ty. The new ginghams have silk dots, or stripes, or small figures woven in them. Sometimes an all over lace de- sign is woven on the surface in a silk of the same or another color. . Lace stripes run through many of the cotton goods, and necessitate a silk lining. There is a pretty fabric called Turk- ish batiste. It shows slightly tufted squares, giving it a faint resemblance to Turkish toweling. A great deal of black and white is still seen; so are the cool cornfiower blue and the 01d fash- ioned bufi and flower designs, particu- larly roses, are considered in very good style. These designs are partly stamped and partly embroidered. For example, a. very pale yellow muslin has 9. large all over design of woodbine stamped on it in (lull greens and golden browns, with the bright berries embroidered in red silk. A cool looking lawn has black polka. dots embroidered 011 a white ground and is divided into squares by threads of pale yellow silk. Many of the lawns have cords running through them of cotton or silk, in the same or a different color. There are lovely crepes, some with the popular Oriental or Japanese designs printed on them. These make charming gowns when softened by a profusion of yellow lace. ‘ ' I 73“ '. .fi _ I.“ As the days grow brighter the wraps grow smaller and gayer; still they all seem to retain the simplicity and the daintiness that have from the first char- acterized the spring modes for wraps. A cape that shows a novel feature in the use of ribbon is of black silk finished about the bottom by a ruche of the same. It has a short round yoke of an embroid- ery of jets and blue paillettes done on black net. Below the yoke the cape is covered by two accordeon plaits of black chiffon. At intervals there are straps of black satin ribbon fastened by buttons of blue paillettes. The collar is of the accordeon plaited chiffon, crushed in on each side by a large bow of ribbon. A light silk lace is accordeon plaited and very much used on these collars. It is newer and perhaps in better style now than the chiffon. A pretty cape of a fancy shot silk is trimmed with two rows of this lace. The upper row passes about the shoulders and is bunched up on the shoulder with some ribbon loops. This arrangement of the trimming would, in most cases, add to the becom- ingness of the garment. The cape has 9. turned over silk collar; and over this is the accordeon plaited lace, which is ar- ranged with some ribbon, another bunch in the back. Better than living a hundred years, not seeing the highest religion, is one day in the life of a man who sees the hightest religion. An Unusual Style. Barber—How will you have your hair ‘ cut, sir?
