But, given omne . &@etail of dress, a clever person can sketeh for'you a complete outline of the voming season’s fashions. For example; skirtstare growing tighter across the hips every day. ,What follows? These several things:; Skirts will be ‘somewhat narrower a;bbut the hem al%o, though the reduction in hip size does rot measure other réductions-accurate-‘Zy. If skirts are narrower ruffles must -ﬁigép}’)eai’. on the from-him-that-hath-=zat principle: - Full skirts are made Juller by frills- and flounces. Narrow . .skirtsare made narrower by flat trim- " =mings. This rule is as nearly invari- ~ ableas a rule can be. All general sfatements are false, including this one. ° “What flat trimmings are available? " ‘About this time, in the lTanguage of the -01 d Farmers’ APmanac, except galons, passementeries, braids and embroideries.. How will these ornaments be disposed? - The taste of the time is for <laborate effects;” Hence it is safe Te - predict that.geams, pockets and revers - - avill be remembered, as well as the display surfaces of skirt breadths. . ~How will the length of skirts be af- ..

same velvet, 18 inches long or thereabouts, are set around the henr also. The bodice is a special design for an’ extremely slender figure. It is laid in circular tucks of some width. A flat collar of beige velvet figured in pink comes well down over the shoulders; it is slashed back and front and trimmed with velvet. There is a narrow velvet belt. The sleeves cover half the hand. A black velvet hat, saucily cocked, is trimmed with pink velvet and black feathers., v

At a quiet tea-drinking in informal welcome of a couple of English girls who will figure this winterin New York society I noticed three or four particularly successful eostumes. One was of silver-gray cloth, with a Dbell skirt, to which. was added a long tunic turned back in the washersvoman style; the turned baclk’part was faced with black velvet.” The bodice was a smart little Jjacket with basques opening on a vest of pink mousseline de/soie and turning back in triple revers of black velvet; the revers formed a big, wavy collar, from which rese a high collar lined with white. Add a narrow' black velvet belt, a jabot of white mousseline and a gray velvet hat with plaé¢k trimmings and you may get some idea of one of the best-considered toilettes of the season. . ) !

An._actress of some prominence wore a striking cc;stume, which would suit comparatively few. Ilers was a black velvet princess gown, trimmed with narrow. rows of white silk passementerie, encircling the’whole corsage and the upper part of the skirt like the stripes’of a zebra. A fluffy boa of gray feathers was worn, ‘and a black velvet hat with white plumes.

A mnoticeably handsome blord matron was gowned Jnwhite silkowveiled with . beautiful black C_hantilly lace, The front of the skirt was bordered on either side with "a ruche of narrow black lace and the sides were trimmed with narrow, ‘sloping bands of black velvet, lace-edged. - The bodice was of white brocade, with:folded revers over a vest of black lace; there were ryeked sleeves of black lace and white chiffon. Thestreetslooked decidedly autumnal. A great amount of red is seen, set off by blaclk-braid or cosy black fur. On Broadway yvesterday I noticed a~walking dress of almond green cloth, trimmed with two green velvet ruffles, This gown was an exception to the noruffle rule and one that justified itself. <l'he bodice was made with a square ‘bolero, edged with a ruffle. Plain sleeves without jockeys gave an up-to-date look, warranting any sort of liberty. A boa of biack feathers and a toque trimmed with gulls’ wings set ‘off a piquant face framed in fluffy blond hair. A more thoroughty characteristic dress was of dark blugj,sg_rge,»“ihade with a jacket that fastened across with ‘straps buttoning upon olives. The jacket has short basques, and a storm collar. It had plain sleeves with no jockeys and was trimmed with rows of narrow braid. The skirt was ornamented with braid also. At the neck was a white mousseline jabot. o . .

THE SUNDAY SCHCOL.

International Lesson for Getober 17. 1897—Panl Before the Roman Gov- ’ ernor—Acts 24:10-23. i fArranged from Peloubet’'s Notes.] GOLDEN TEXT.—Fear thou not, for I am with thee.—lsa. 41:10. - o "THE SECTION includes the whole story of Paul’s transference to Cesarea, his trial before Felix,"and his two years’ imprison- - ment (Acts 23:12 1o 35, and chap. 24.) - TIME.—A. D. 58; +the plot, Thursday, May 25; Jerusalem; journey to Cesarez, \ night of the 25th and the 26th;: trial before Felix, Tuesday, May 30; -imprisonment at Cesarea, A B F LESSON. 1. The ‘Plot.—As soon 'as Paul was taken to the castle 40 .of their number conspired to kill him, binding themselves not to eat or drink till they had muredered him. But Paul’s nephew in some way learned of the plot and revealed it to the commander. © = 11. Paul Transferred to Cesarea.—As soon as the Roman cologel Lysias learned of the plot he arranged to have Paul start that same night for Cesarea under a guard of 400; infantry and 70 cavalry. They left Jerusalem at nine o’clock that same evening, bearing a letter to Gov. Felix, recounting the circumstances. : 111. Trial Before Felix.—Within five days the high priest Ananias, accompanied by a deputation from the Sanhedrim, and by a professional advocate, Tertullus, arrived in Cesarea to present their charges against Pail. : The charges brought against Paul were: 1. Treason against Rome. “a mover of sedition among all the Jews : throughout the world,” referring to the - mobs of the Jews against him in almost ] every city, as if he were to blame for them. 2. Heresy against ‘the Jewish religion, a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarénes. - Ringleader, the leader - of a ring, or riotous body. 3. Sacrilege. in profaning the temple, as charged by the Jews of Asia. - L ! IV, Paul’s Reply to the Charges.—Vs. 10-21.. The introduction, verse 10, was .courteous, but not flattering. i The answer to the charge of treason was a simple denial, sustained by.a plain statement of facts and the utter ~absence of any witnesses or proof. In answer to the second charge of heresy-he acknowledged the fact, but “denied that it was heresy. Paul brought forward three reasons why his way of worship was not a sect or heresy. 1. Because with it he worshiped the same God of my (our) fathers whom his accusers worshiped. He was a true Jew. 2. He held to the Jewish law, while he rejected many of thei r interpretations of it. Christ and the Gospel fulfilled, not annulled, the law. And in the prophets. The Jewish Scriptures which foretold Christ. 3. 15. “And have hope toward God:” In reference to 'God, founded on His revelation. His hope was “that there shall be a resurrection of the dead:” Immortal life and glory, just as his accusers themselves. believed; Paul, pointing to them as he spoke. “Of the just and unjust:” Bringing a double motive of hope and of warning. : The answer to the third charge, of sacrilege (Vs. 17-21), is a direct denial, through a statement of the facts. 17. “Now after many:” SeveraPyears’ from Jerusalem. It was four years #ince he was there. “I came to bring alms.to my nation:” The large sums he had been collecting in Corinth and Macedonia. “And offerings:’” The customary Pentecost sacrifices in the temple. This was the exact opposite of sacrilege. e _ ' There was no answer to Paul’s argument, for there could be none. < » V. Two Years in Prison at Cesarea.— Vs. 22, 23. Felix, for fear of the Jews, who were a furbulent people, and knew his wicked deeds, and for the sake of making money out of Paul (vs. 26, 27), deferréd his decision. Knowing thecharacter of the disciples, and that Paul’s story accorded with what *he knew of them, Felix avoided outrageous injustice to Paul, and yet did not set the Jews against himself, by simply de-’ ferring his decision. Paul’s confinement was as easy as possible, because Felix knew that Paul was innocent, and yet for the reasons given above he was afraid to release him. This im. prisonment lasted for two years (v. 27). - S VI. Felix Before Paul.—Vs. 24, 25, 24. “When Felix came:” He resided only a part of the time at Cesarea, and ‘had now returned. “He sent for Paul:” Either from curiosity to'see such a wellknown man, or from .‘S(')me remnant of conscience and thought of a better life, or, as in verse 27, in order to extort money frem him. 25. “And as he reasoned:” In this private interview with two such une godly people as Felix and his wife Trusilla in a palace, amid all the dazzling dircumstances of rank and power. ‘“Ofrighteousness:” Our English “justice” includes in Greek ethics the duties which man owes to man. “Temperance:” The .Greek word has a far broader significance than the English temperance; it denotes especially “selfeontrol,” the power of conqueting one’s own passions and lusts,- “And judgment to come:” Rewards for the virtues, and punishment for vice. Now was the time: to repent and escape. “Felix trembled:” Better as R. V., was terrified. Well might he be filled with fear. “Go thy way. for ~this time:” Fear sent away not the sin, but the preacher. “When I have a canvenient season:” He put off deciding to repent till he could hear more. But his good feelings vanished like “the morning clond and the early dew.” The conveniént season néver came.

I v DELUGE 1N NEW YORK. | Fashionable Neighborhood Flooded -by Bursting Water Main. ; ‘ New York, Oct. 11.—A large croton water |main burst early Sunday morn- | ing at the corner of Madison avenue ) and Forty-eighth street, the heart of | the fashionable district, and wrought | such havoe with property, beth near f;and' remote,” that not even a pag#ial l calculation can be made of the finan- . cial damage at present. For blocks ‘ around scarcely a building escaped injury by reason of the volume of water !whic poured into the streets, cellars { and basements. The loss will reach | far into the thousands. The damage | by water extends as far west as Sixth |‘avenue and as far east as First avenue. | The gewers were choked by the great . rush of water, and then the flood rose .in .the streets. The big .water main ' was probably:cracked by a blast which [ was red in a sewer excavation late | Saturday afternoon. Then in theswight | time,|when the strain on the pipe was ' greatest, it gave way and the flood ' followed. * , : : . The breaking of a four-foot pipe was ~announced by a rumbling noise which ‘awakened the people in'the immediate fvicinjty. Looking out of their win- . dows| they saw a great geyser.in the ‘middle of the avenue shooting a, vast ‘.vol_u,rbe of water into the air, a column ' so high that it reached almosf to the top of the electric light pole on the ! cornj‘r. Those who had no view of the fountain heard a mighty rush of water. - For five hours tlfis column shot into the | air before it was shut off at its source, ~and in that time 10,000,000 gallons of | water ‘had -run down the avenue and - side streets on. either hand. All the - streets east of Madison avenue slope gradually, and down them the water _surged in‘ a torrent, flooding the cel- ' lars and basements. The most serious damage was done to. the building of ' the railroad branch of the Y. M. C. A. | and to the Knickerbocker Athletic cluly- - house. In the basement of the latter . place the dynamos, machinery, bowling. ~alleys, bathrooms and big swimming tank have probably been ruined by the ' flood. The club ‘fficials place the loss at $15,000. The clubhouse will be closed | untik tile damage has been repaired. | After five hours the flow was stopped. - Almost without exception the houses in the vicinity of the break were so | flooded that they have been damaged ' from $5OO to $2,000. The residence of 'J. Hooker Hammerslee, William Eu- ' stace, J. Talbot and the clubhouse of ' the Delta Phi were among those most . damaged. i |

REFUSE TO COMPROMISE.

Miners in Northern Illinois District ~ .'Likely-to Be ldle All Winter.

Streator, 111.,, Oct. 11.—The strike of miners in northern Illinois is still on, no agreement being reached by the con--vention of operators and miners held here Friday. The delegates voted unanimously not to accept a scale less than the price adopted at the Spring-field-convention. The operators positively declined to consider that sca]e', but cffered an advance of four cents over the scale adopted here last May, which would be 561, cents for screened coal. The decision means that none of the large shafts in the northern Illinois district will be worked this winter and 10,000 miners will remain idle, as no vompromise will be accepted. 7 Murdered and Set on Fire.

| S WEYLRRS BLUFF. . Truth About ithe.Démonitrqtlon in Havana in His Behalf. Havana, Oct. 11.—It is now definitely ‘settled that Gen. Weyler will leave here October 20 for Spain. In this connéetion it is said that the governor of Puerto Rico will assume control of affairs in Cuba ‘until such time as Gen. Blance reacites that island. The captain ‘genezal at one time had strong bopes that he would be permitted to remaininCuba, and to this end the demon,stration was inspired. Bands of music lhelped to draw a crowd, which was composed chiefly of volunteers and ultra-Spaniards. There is no doubt in certain circles that Gen. Weyler intended the demonstration as a “blutf” te intimidate the liberal government into allowing him to remain, but it failed to have the desired effect. - Madrid, Oect. 11.—Premier ‘Sagasta: ‘gave audience to a’ number of Cuban ‘senators, He informed them that firm‘ness tempered with merey would. be his policy; that the government would devote itself before all else to the pacification of Cuba, and woiild then introduce in the island a model administration. The government, the premier added, considered that the pacification of Cuba would facilitate the restoration of peace in the Philippine Islands, where the'sitveation now is serious, It is known that ‘thee liberal party in general will'aid this humane policy. - _ So anxious is the gueen' for the inauguration of a new regime in Cuba that Gen. Blanco leaves Madrid for Havana to-day. The steamer Isle de Panay, which was to leave Cadiz on Sunday, Bas been ordered to wait for Blanco. - London, Oct. 11.—It would appear that Sagasta’s promises are about Jo be kept.: The new Spanish cabinet held a meeting Saturday night at Madrid and decided that® Weyler shouid be stripped of office at once. ' _London, Oct. 11.—The Times commenting editorially on“the Cuban situation says: 5 ; ' ~“If Senor Sagasta fails to adopt a bold refoxirm policy {in Cuba, likely to disarmr American jingoism, it might turn out to have been wiser to have left Gen. Weyler to finish the war in his own fashion.” The Standard, after asking why Gen. Weyler is recalled, if it is intended to continue the campaign, says: 2 “It seems only .too plains.that Senor Sagasta’s eourse hardly deserves the name of policy. It‘is almosta device for parry<ing America’s importunate questions. We suspect that Gen. Woodford presented something very, like an ultifaatum and that, but for American pressure, riothing would have been heard of autonomy. We doubt that a Cuban :settlement is mueh ‘nearer. . There will be gxore fighting angd more negotiation. Senor Sagasta must walk warily if he proposes to be more than a diplomatic match for the American ambassador. On the other hand, the Washington cabinet has need to'be circumspect. Spain has .only Cuba and honor left, and any open interference with her rights over Cuba would kindle a fire of resentment in which all talk of autonomy would disappear and the struggle attain! wider dimensions.” . °
