ETELKA FASHION LETTER

NEW NOVELTIES IN LADIES' DRESS. Metamorphosi. in. Wrap The Old Style Circular ITlth Variations in Great Vogue The Xfwut Thing tn Bonntti Flow Gardens Blooming on Fair Heads. THE season to which we havo been looking forward with longing eyes is at lat here, and all the beauty and fashion of which our great city can boast 13 concentrated in street and park. All are eajrer to enjoy the bright days in store, and although wo have as yet felt bnt little of the gentle breezes of which the poets sing, Ave know that prin in all il3 budding benuty is with us, and the fortunate jxjssessor of a handsome street costume is triumphant. But as the weather isstiilcool, thai ubiquitous article of the costume, the wrap, remains predominant. An entirely new rendition of the old-style circular which lias found great favor with most ladies, greets the eye. Thi3 wrap, which completely hides the dress, is of very glossy silk, with renaissance motif in velvet, closed at the Eide, which fastening ih concealed by a fcroad band of feather trimming or jabot of lace, according to the style or taste of the wearer. These circular wraps- can be made up very effectively in combination of copper-brown and blue, gray and white er lilac and moss green, the first-mentioned color the silk and the latter velvet. An imported wrap in the new frt'le is of carmelite blue gauze, forming deep pelisses from neck to edge of circular, with double row of black lace insertion just above the edge. The shoulders are trimmed with deep points of Mack lace which, reaching to the back, fall downward in the bhape of a hood. Fashionable young ladies may incline to the idea that this garment is only suitable to elderly ladies and not becoming to the lithe figure of the young, but verv lev." wraps look handsomer than this gauzy, transparent cloak, which, notwithstanding its volume, is 3 a veil which covers but does not conceal the loveiy, youthful figure and Fets r,S to wonderful advantage the graceful bearing of the wearer. Uut not only are the wraps subjected to great metamor phosis, the boanets are alike destined to a radical change, and although still trimmed quite high, resembling hanging gardens with their imme nse clusters and wreaths of flowers, the bonnet propei has a low crown and fits close to the head. Flowers in large quantities seem to be the favorite adorninctt for linnets at this seaBon, but taste and judgment should suggest the fitness of things. At a recent farewell iTiormance at one of cur prominent theaters, the flowers forming the trimming of the headgear of the fairer part of the audience were mistaken for rloral tributes to the fair performers in return for the many pleasant evenings they Lad helped make enjoyable. Onlv the mobility of the flowers disabused the mind oi this flattt ring idea. "When will Fashion and Custom enter into a partnership to banish this open transgression of pood taste from our places of public amusement, and thus put an end to the unkind witticisims and just criticism of the unfortunates condemned to back seats? It requires but little moral courage ou the part of the leaders and the great change fa brought about. The accompanying cut illustrates two bonnets of somewhat more modest dimensions than have hitherto prevailed. One of black straw, with shallow brim, is trimmed with pink ibis and ribbon shaded from deep garnet to palest pirrk; the other of brown straw and brown to yellow-shaded ribbon and large cluster o'l lilacs and leaves. The Jarg?, broad-brimmed hat3 of lac e and mullc will be much worn this summer, both, at the mountain and seaside resorts. Theyaro exceedingly becoming, and when made of the same light, airy fabric as the dresa are very effective to the general makeup of the costume.

A toilette made with such a full pelisse pkirt is of black mulle, ten yards of which arc required for the skirt; through the hem is drawn a black moire ribbon.

Another very handsome costume, Louis XVIth style, las coat of heavy Nile preen silk opening in front over blouse and skirt of cream eurah, covered with white silk gauze.

Fashion Notes. Green of every shade is the fancy of the You can't have too much of it. hoar. A Jew's Lflrp, with a frame of gold and a silver tongue, is an oddity iu scarf-pins. . New dancing slippers have high heels covered with satin, the slipper proper being of colored kid. A pocket foot rule, of silver, folding into quarters, is a useful as well as ornamental article. A miniature patent ?peed recording log, of oM, is a scurt-pia whicu finds favor among yachtsmen. Swiss needle-point lace which much resembles Irish point is mostly used as a finish to wash-dresses. A lizard of gold set with jewels in every hue of the rainbow makes an attractive but costly hair ornament. The mid-summer gowns are embroidered by hand, the rufllts or folds being basted 60 that they ean be laundered apart from the dress. The favorite wide-brimmed hat introduced by the milliners this season is a copy in shape of the hat worn by the Portuguese peasant women. From all present indications there will be no immediate diminution in the case of the bustle; that hoopskirts will ever again be worn in this country is exceedingly doubtful, for they have neither grace, symmetry. ?ood sense, beauty, nor comfort to commend them. Opals and moonstones, either plain or cameo cut and surrounded with small diamonds are still greatly in favor for scarf pins. Many handsome combinations are 6hown. Some of the galloon trimming takes the form of flowers, which ean be used iu broken sprays for revers, currs, bonnet crowns, and in continuous strips that average $3 a yard. Scarf pins of four oxidized copper cloves, set t3 represent a four-leaved clover, make a bid for the affection of the man who goes ortt between the Actj as well as for those of a purchaser with Ccluc tendencies. It is observed on the latest tailor gowns that the bnttpns are only medium in size, but very exp nive. Jf there is a waistcoat it should be f iriiple in character, ns the entire euit is designed wich rigid avoidance of anything that interferes with the symmetrical outline of the wearer's figure. For all such toilets high white linen collars und narrow cuffs are alone admirable. A pretty summer substitute for the fur capes 80 fashionable during the past winter are capes made of heavy, smooth cloth in Gobelin blue, tan color, Havana brown, gray and black. These have three capes in graduated lengths, overlapping each other in the fashion ot the Directoire wrap, and a high collar fastened with a big oxidized silver clasp. They are lined with xatiu of the same shade. P.all dresses of delicate silk, hung with laee dm;. eric s, can be made quite French y by the addition of cabbage-shaped bows of ribbon. With pale pink or blue silk the ribbon may be 6traw-colored faillie, and on a mauve surah toilet ecru tulle may be caught up with white ties. The white robes are frequendy tied with almond, apricot, moss green, straw, pink, and magenta bows ia order to subdue or tone down the hard lines peculiar to white. Face veils of dotted gauze are very fashionable, and at present women are rarely seen on tau street without a bit of transparent stuff drawn across their eyes. In many cases the veil is worn to the chin, covering the entire face and tightly drawn. They are sometimes of very .Hunt gray silk tissue, are knotted behind, the long ends brought around the throat Jo the front and tied there iu a voluminous bow. But generally the veils consist of a quarter of a yard of dotted tulle, dark red, black or white with black dots. There U rejoicing among the launderers, for fad.ioa will dress herself in robes of mull, linen, and cambric so delicate in fabric as to survive but a dav's wear. The skirts of the new zephyr muslin, French lawns, cambric, and chamberys are wisely fashioned with a future eye to the wahtub. Front gores, if trimmed, are embroidered in white thread, while the ha-k is laid in flat plaits that can be ironed with little trouble. .None of the summer muslins are caught up, puffed, or puckered into iron defying loops. Gay, pretty corsages made of Roman or Persian sash ribbon are worn by young ladies to brighten up dark wool dresse of cashmere, Henrietta cloth, and black faille. This extra bodice to be worn in lieu of silk or wool is made in the shape of a tight-fittins round waist, with the neck opening a la Vandyke, made of the sash, which tire arranged fail at the top and gauged into a snug knot at the belt. Some of these sashes in Pompadour defciirus on grounds of salmon, Roman red, apricot, or cream satin cost from $6" to $16 a yard, those of the latter price being figured with blossoms and leaves of gold and silver in relief. . The embroidered mulls and nuns' veiling, made over azure or sunset-hued silk, will be among the prettiest gowns Been at Newport or Saratosra toe coining summer; to be thrown over them are wraps that will ravish the feminine heart.

AN IXSAXE MOTHER'S ACT.

POISONS HER SON AND KILLS HERSELF Mrs. Thomas Jordan Gives Her Youngent Child a Fatal Dose cf Aconite And Belladuita and Then Cuts Her Throat Sad Ietalls. As the curtain rose and fell beford a darkened window Saturday afternoon at 32 Park-ave. from the gusty breeze that sent dust and little scraps of paper flying heavenward, a little straggle of sunshino would for a moment play across the bodies of two people, both stretched in death, one a little boy, with fair silken hair clinging to a brow dark with the dews of eternal quiet, and the other a woman in the prime of life, with a singularly calm but xprcsoive countenance. The two were' mother and child Mrs. Ida A. Jordan and her son Frank, aged four years. The house is the home of Mr. Tho mas Jordan, who was awakened . night before last by tho violent hiccoughing of his son who was asleep with his mother in the adjoining room. Springing out of bed, he ran into the front room and was inexpressibly shocked to find his wife laying upon the bed saturated in her own blood from a terrible gash across her throat. Firmly grasped in her right hand was a razor which explained all at once. The suffering of the little one awoke the almost prostrated lamer w a iiuiuauuu ui luuun luinuuii and he at once examined lus son to see it he had been subjected to the same fate. No sign of violence could be observed, but as his symptoms grew more alarming ho hastily despatched an older son to procure medical aid. Drs. Purdy and Avery soon arrived, and at once pronounced the boy poisoned. An empty phial under the bed, which had been filled with a mixture of belladona and aconite, served to show at once the nature of the poison administered. Everything witltin the power of the phvsicians was done for the relief of the Buffering child, but he continued to grow worse until yesterday morningatS o'clock, whoa he died in terrible agon That the poison was administered by the mother, there is no doubt, and that the act was caused by insane devotion to tho little one, whom she could not part with after having determined to take her own life, is lully demonstrated by the circumstances which Burround the entire affair. Mr. Jordan is quite well known in Indianapolis, having been formerly connected with the grain firm of Noel, Jordan fc Co. In 1879 he moved to Richmond, Ind., where he remained for fivo years. During his stay in Richmond Mr. Jordan first began to suspect that his wife was suffering from dementia, which was given considerable weight inasmuch as several of her uncles had become insane. Mrs. Jordan was the daughter of Fayette Gridley, who was proprietor of the Palmer bouse in this city before the war, and who afterward removed to Chicago, where he died. His widow, . Mrs. Mary L. Gridley, still survives him, and through her advice, Jordan sent his wife to Chicago where she spent six weeks in the care of her mother at a medical sanitarium. "While in Chicago, Mrs. Jordan became interested in the study of Christian science, and she attended a course of lectures at an institute controlled by Mrs. Emma Hopkins, 2019 Indiäna-ave. Mrs. Jordan afterward entered into Partnership with another lady and emarked in the practice of medicine in Chicago. Last August her mental infirmities became more pronounced, owing to her intense application to her new study. She wrote to her husband several letters in which she complained of her mental health and beseeching himtocome to Chicago. He found her greatly disquieted by reason of a fear that herconctition would necessitate her removal to an insane hospital. It was at this time that she was placed in tho Hopkins sanitarium, where she seemed to receive some benefit. It seems, however, that the improvement was but temporary, for after leaving the institution she became subject to the most intent spells of melancholy, during which she repined a great deal over her distressing condition, and was frequently beard to express a wish that she might die and take her son Frank with her. Last Saturday Mr. Jordan returned to this city and took up his residence at 32 I'ark-ave. It seems his wife was not at all contented with her surroundings at this place and complained continually of their poverty and changed circumstances. From continued dwelling upon this subject, her melancholy attacks seemed to become more aggravated, and day before yesterday she became bo violent that Mr. Jordan wascompelled to stay at home and watch her. During the spell she seemed to bo greatly worried, and made tho remark quite often tha,tshe had something on her mind which she would like to tell her husband. Mr. Jordan says that she was undoubtedly premeditating the deed at this time, as several days before she had asked that her little son Frank be permitted to sleep with her, stating that lie was sick and needed her attention, which was really the case, as the boy had been sufl'ering from a slow fever. Several weeks ago Mr. Jordan purchased a bottle of aconite and another of belladona for medical purposes, which he carefully secreted, telling his wife that there wa3 danger of the children getting hold of them, when, in reality, he feared that his wife might be tempted to do some rash act with the medicine during her di8turled mental condition. That his euspicions were well grounded has nnhappilv proved true. Mrs. Jordan presumably watched her husband, who hid the bottles upon a high window, though he thought he was unobserved by his wife. ' Mrs. Jordan loved her j'oungest son with an ardor displayd toward none of her other children, two of whom she leaves a boy aged ten and a daughter aged thirteen who are now in Toledo, O. Mr. Jordan says that his wife would undoubtedly have "taken her life long before if she had not been restrained by the love of this boy. The bereaved husband is utterly broken down, and is certainly to bo jiticL When the undertaker arrived in the morning to dress the bodies, and began Hearching for suitable clothes to dress the little one in, Mr. Jordan exhibited tho most distressing signs of grief, and was with difficulty restrained from doing violence to himself. The home occupied by this unfortunate family is a small, one-torv cottage with three down-stair rooms, ho two front rooms being occupied as sleeping apartments. Mr. Jordan has met with great business reverses during the past ten or twelve years, and this terrible calamity comes with a crushing force. The couple w ere married in 1872.

HAND-MADE WIT, Or That Which TassesforWlt in the Newspapers. There seems to be a demand for it. We have fallen into the delusion that this is an age of wit, and are constantly on the watch for the blossoming joke. The commonest observation, by an affectation or mannerism, passes for a witticism as we have learned to measure wit. An unusual arrangment of words ; an air of solemnity misplaced; an exaggeration of reserve; a backwoods darkey or a foreign dialect, and a remark on the weather passes for the "latest good thing," and "One more unfortunate," has established a reputation for humor; sufficiently unfortunate if only his friends think so, but doul.lv pitiable-when the mistaken soul is deluded into the belief himself. Then his best and dearest, in the most absorbing situations of life is not secure. He will be collared, bultondioled, and otherwise detained and made to hold up his hands while the last joke is tried on him. No one likes to be thought a numskull, even when the retort "you're- another" may be made, and the bestand dearest resolves to see the points if the eflort scuffs out the very last atom of intellect iu his possession, or if he go the remainder of his journey through the age of wit to tho step of St." Vitus' dance. "Greater love hath no man tlnin this." The straitest of newspapers and periodicals have departments labelled "wit and Humor," Pinznvpaphs," "Just for Fun" and other m'sleadin names. Many of them have illustrations, which is commendable. The average hand-made joke should be accompanied by a diagram. There is the periodical letter from the the professional joker, and we are warned that it will be funny. Wise provision! The waiting public canJiave its risibles put into good running order. But the most stupendous and immortal joke is on the people who fall into the habit of reading these alleged llashes of wit. An eminent occulist solemnly avers that the increasing use of eye-glasses is occasioned by the imprudent searching for "points." Irue wit, like Tow, must grow. The manufactured article is not more like the genuine than is the vilest oleomargarine to honest butter. Sometimes the professional joker is deserving of compassion. He is most usually, aside from this one besetment, a good sort of person. This one sin he has been flattered into, by friends without the gift of prophecy they could not tell where it would lead to. He goes on from week to week with tht idea that what he has to say is waited for bv millions in breathless eagerness. He will not disappoint bis audience, and his work gives evidence of his struggles. Ho puns on names in a way that threatens his readers with lock-jaw. He quotes items of news, and by a trick of mental gymnastics he brings out the antipodes of their real meaning, and lo! there is something to make the people laugh, or go into convulsions of another sort. This matter should be looked into. The joker may sacritice himself for his vanity's sake and ten cents a line, but who knows that these things are not contagious? The joker should have a printing otlice of his own, if he must print, and be compelled to submit his work to a committee of citizens, a mental health board, that its strength might be tested before pouring it out upon a defenseless public. There are abroad in the land mindreaders', spirit telegraphy, and hypnotism, with their known and imagined inllucnces and horrors, and if there ßhould come upon us an epidemic of jokers' convulsions our devoted country would no longer fear Asiatic cholera; on the contrary, it might be welcomed in the hope that it might carry olf tho promoters of a more fearful plague. Oliver Wendell Holmes, as a man of science, knows how to measure his powers. He knows it is not safe to be as funny as he can, but many other geniuses lack this considerateness. They try to be much funnier than they can. Makgaret Holmes.

THE GENERAL CONFERENCE. Electioneering for the Sew Bishopries ISlaho Taylor' Keport. New Yobk, May 12. The eleventh day'.s session of the methodist episcopal church conference opened this morning at the Metropolitan opera-house with prayer by the Rev. Alexander Martin, president of tho De Pauw university of Indiana, Bishop Foster presided for the second time. The members of the conference are looking forward with considerable expectancy to the report of the committee on episcopacy upon the nuaber of new bishops to be elected. The committee will probably report in favor of electing four bishops. This will cause a long debate, as there are a number of the delegates who believe that there should be at least six or seven more bishops. They claim that the bishops have too much work to do, and that with a larger number the work of the church can bo extended. The members spend much of their time in the lobby electioneering for their friends who are candidates for the position of bishop. The feature ot the dav was the reading by Bishop Taylor of his report on the African mission, about which there has been so much dispute as to its value and usefulness. He gave a history of his experience for the past thirty-five years. Bishop Taylor took a long time to explain his position toward the general conference, it being claimed that he was not entitled to a seat among the bishops. The gist of his remarks was to the eli'ect that he had not been guilty of any disloyalty, and, therefore, is entitled to a voice in the body. "In the language of Dr. Curry," said" Bishop Taylor, "to anybody who accuses me of disloyalty, I deny the allegation and defy the ällegator." After Bishop Taylor had finished reading his report, Dr. Gue of Illinois moved that a committee be appointed consisting of two delegates from each conference district and three delegates at large to consider the report This created a great deal of discussion. The Key. Dr. Iscely of Philadelphia moved as a substitute that that part of the report which considers tho question of missions be referred to the committee on missions, and the rest to tho committee on episcopacy. The substitute was adopted and this ended the discussion. lilalne Let It lie. New York Herald. If it is to be Blaine why Blnine be it then.

If the party proposes to be a perpetual Blaine organization, to live only tlpon the ambitions of one man and the hopes of his friends, there is no reason why the issue fhouM not go bt-fore the country in that form. It will make a simple but u?ly and awkward canvass, the abandonment of principle and the higher purposes of political action to the elevation of an unsuccessful leader.

The treatment of many thousands of cases of those chronic weaknesses and distressing rllments peculiar to f-malee, at the Invalida" riotoi and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Yn has afforded a vact experience in nicely adapting aaJ thoroughly tetting remedies for tUo euro of woman's peculiar maladies.

Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is tho outgrowth, or result, of this great and valuable experience. Thousands of testimonials, received ABgom TO WOHEH. from pationts and from physician who have tested it in the more asrravared and obstinate cases which had balilod their skill, prove it to be the most wendorful remedy ever devised for tho relief and cure of suffcrintr women. It is not recommended as a "cure-ail," but as a most perfect Specific for woman's peculiar diseases. ab a powerful, in.

It promotes digestion and assimilation of f ood, cures nausea, weakness of stomach, indigestion, bloating and eructations of gas.

TREATING THE WIROlsTGr IDXSIEisJBS, Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dvppertfia. another from heart disea another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion, or prostration, another with pain h re r tin r and in this way they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, separate and üistintt diseases, for whi'-a hn prescribes his pills r.nd potions, assuming them to be Buch, when, in reality, they are all only tymptviva cauftd bv oir.e womb disorder. The physician, ignorant of tho cause of Buffering, encourages his practice until large hills are n.rde. The fulTcring" patient gets no better, but probably worse by reason of tho delay, wrong treatment and cuiieeouent ecn-.pi:e:;tious. A proper medicine, like Da. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, dirrcted to tt cause, would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dispelling' all thoso distressing symptoms, and instituting comfort instead of prolonged misery.

the numerous adhesions to the rescript coming from Irish laity aud clergy prove that Mr. Parnell is ignorant of the sentiment of the people. The (lnsrrvatorc makes similar remarks.
