Mr. Piatt has another gathering of his county bosses to-day. Evidently things are not going all his way in his plan to capture the next Republican Conven- tion. LOOKS LIKE A SMASH. ‘The English Ministry has received « blow between the eyes. ‘The opposition proposed to reduce the salary of the War Secretary one hundred pounds, be- cause he deciined to let the Ho a Commons know the quantity of reserve ammunition at command of the War Department in case of an emergency. ‘The proposition was adopted, and the War Becretary, Mr. Campbell Banner- man, immediately resigned.

' a QUICK JUSTICE FoR FinEsves. For frebuge no ciemency. Their @imes are equalled only by those fear- fi men wno used to kill their fellows that they might sell the corpses to the @issecting rooms. The Burkers, as they ‘were called, were more merciful than the firebugs, for though they took human life they usually struck down their victi from behind and put him to death in a few minutes, white the firebug is careless whether his victima @ through Jone yéare of life, maimed and ‘disfigured, or suffer the tortures of fire for long weeks or months in the hospital. Buch crimes as these need quick, stern justice. The judges must not allow pettifogging iIttle lawyers to spin their thousand webs in the way of Puntahment. No McLaughlin tactics wilh do here. A fair trial, of course, but also a quick one. Let the pickpockets, and brawlers, and sneak thieves wait, Mr. District-Attor- ney, and get up your case immediately against these fiends. What if the Tombs is crowded? What if there are “prison cases," as you call them? Let the judges make these also prison cases, and if they are not so made treat them as “prison cases” and try them without delay. For such crimnals the people demand quick justice. Justice Taintor has started in to re- form the language of the Police Court. He reproved a policeman yesterday for @aying he had “nailed” or “collared” a man, rather than that he had “arrested” him. There are several places waiting for Taintor on the morning newspapers, A SINGULAR ERROR. Tha-arson developments draw atten- ‘ton to a singular mistake made by many of the New York newspapers, in con- nection with recent legislation on the subject of that revolting crime. ‘The last Legislature passed a bill mak- ing the extreme penalty for arson forty years’ imprisonment. The newspapers @tnerally jumped at the conclusion that ‘his was en increased punishment (e- signed to check the too common offanse. When Gov. Morton signed the bill he ‘was lauded for his promptness tn afford- fag additional protection to the public from firebugs. ‘The fact is that the law is a lessening fnatead of an increase of the punishment @f the incendiary, Under the then exist- fing code the extreme penalty was im- prisonment for life. The limitation to forty years, of which about ten years would be commutcd for good behavior fm prison, was therefore in favor of the extminal and not of the public. ‘It is well that the people should under- stand this portion of the work of a Re- publican Legistature, particularly at this time, when an orgenized and cruel ar- gon plot is alleged to exist embracing many persons whose official duty it is te protect the public from just such dangers, Wwank Grover, of Rochester, fives after faving received a shock of 350 veits.

Laweon N. Fuller's argument egainst the carriage-light ordinance consisted in a narration of how he had been arrested by the park police for violation of a park rule which took effect June 17 and notice of which had been given in all the papers. This seems to argue not against the proposed ordinance, but that Mr. Fuller doesn’t read the papers. ‘The young man who speeded away on wis wheel, after the young woman bi- cyclist who accompanied. him had been attacked by desperadoes' on the Coney Island Boulevard, is reported, to have maid he had a weak heart. He hanily needed to tell of it But young men with weak hearts, the doctors say, should not ride the wheel.

Of ‘ourse you do. You can't possibly have forgotten the pathetic story of Billy, who married the savage lady of a color rather shady, Well, I've just read a booklet by F. C. Phillips called “A Ques- tion of Color," that reminds me strongly of poor Rosina's song taken seriously For, of course, Phillips is serious—lugu- briously and unreasonably serious, and he must have been wofully hatd up for a subject when he wrote the story of Mamie Benton, who married a colored “gentleman” for the sake of spondullx. As for the Frederick A. Stokes Com- pany which published the novel, wel as 'Arry would say—things is com- ing to a pretty pass. Naturally, the most simple thing to do with “A Question of Color’ would be to drop it, and say, with a sigh, that it's unpleasant. But the term “unpleasant” has become loathsome. Everything now- » daya is “unpleasant.” Sardou is “‘un- pleasant; so is Henry Arthur Jones; s0 1s John Oliver Hobbes and the author of “Tess of the D'Urbervilles.” In fact, 1 don’t know anybody who is pleasant exoept @ few superannuated old ladies. The adjective is used #0 ridiculously that it ts @ downright compliment to be called unpleasant; @ positive insult to be dubbed pleasant. Call me imbe- cile, my friend, but as you love me, call me not pleasant. I shall call “A Question of Color” stomachically disturbing. It gives you @ pain, It makes you feel as though you were on board ship in the roaring forties while as for ts denouement, you clamor for @ wee nip of brandy when you get to {t, Mamie Bruton is the heroine of “A Question of Color.” She is singularly lovely, of course, She has glorious gray eyes and a face of transparent fairness, and she wears roses drooping loosely on her breast. Phillips saya that she is peerlessly and defiantly beautiful, and as she is his heroine he has @ right to say so, Mamie engages herself to Jack Collier, who 1s a poor lawyer. She han- kers for filthy lucre, and in order to make a position for her Jack chucks up the law—if I may use such a rude ex- pression—and goes to the Cape. The Instant he reaches Cape Town he has some soup, a cut of venison and a sweet omelet, washed down by a bot- tle of Bass and succeeded by coffee and Mqueur. That dinner ts really his most important experience at the Cape. Phil- Ups always dotes on dinners, He must be a very greedy gentleman, but you always get a good menu from his nove! They serve that point, at any rate. While Jack Is at the Cape eating soups and venisons and sweet omelets and “lots of other things,” Mamie meets negro, whose father had been King of one of the most powerful South African tribes, His name is Jan Umgasi, and probably he is related to the Umgazis of Thompson street, New York. But he is very, very rich, and Mamie’s mom- mer encourages her to woo him, al- though her ‘art ts true to Jack. Jan Proposes, and—here's where the novel becomes an instruction book. Mamie hates him, but, determined not to suc- cumb to her silly, girlish sentimentality, she plucks up her courage and accepts him, Guess what she does in order to find the necessary courage. It's worth knowing. You—my sweet little fem!- nine readers—may find some fascinating Unted Lotharios—say at Asbury Park this Summer—and if you wish to accept them, all you have to do 1s to follow Mamie's recipe, which the Frederick A. Stokes Company has printed for you. Here it Is: "She got up mechanically” (this was after the offer and before her acceptance of it) “and slowly mounted the stairs to her room. A flask of eau- de-cologne stood on the dressing-table, and she emptied it Into a goblet and drained the glass at a draught.” Then she went downstairs, her innards all eau-de-cologne, and remarked: “You have paid me the compliment of asking whether I will be your wife. I answer ‘Yes.’ 80 I say unto you, little ones, lay In a good store of eau-de-cologne. Refer to the advertising columns of this paper, and you'll find {t. Perhaps Fi ida water would do. I really don't know, though, It is better to take no risks. Mamie marries the negro, but he finds that she 1s divided from him by a “wall of abhorrence.” He dies, and leaves word in his diary that he has foretasted the fires of the damned. These fires were evidently not as toothsome as Mamie's eau-de-cologne. Fortunately, I enjoy a ridiculous novel, and ‘A Question of Color’ amused me ‘on account of its sheer idiocy, Those who want something for their money, however, will be furious if they buy this book.

Woman's Life in India. The position of the native women of Rajputana is singularly deplorable. Penned from their babyhood within the narrow limits of the zenana, they are cut off from all contact with the outer world, with which they communicate only through their slave girls; seeing not only no men, but hardly any women, very few ladies of sufficiently high rank living within visiting distance of each other. They are uneducated, unable either to read or write or work; noth- ing, therefore, remains to them but their natural affections, and there are out- raged; their husbands professing no love for them, and visiting them but occa- sionally; their children being taken from them at a very early age and placed under the guardianship of men, their mothers being considered unfit, and, alas! truly, to bring them up.

Russian Linen and Lace. Russian linenis morein vogue than ever partly because string color is accepted as the best taste in Summer outing and Informal gowns. The rougher and coarser the linen the better. It is made in severe tailor fashion as to skirt, strapped seams being quite tn harmony. ‘The usual bodice 1s a blouse front, made very loose, with at least three box plaits forming baggily, the centre one hanging deeply over the belt. Such dresses are always self trimmed, though they may be lined with any brilliant silk. Tans, too, will have Summer flavor, and light stuffs in these shades are made up very daintily, The fashion of trimming with Uttle close ruffies of narrow valenclennes lace is being run into the ground, yet there is an elegance about this sort of elaboration that never falls if the lace be of good color, narrow enough and ap- plied carefully. Of course, thread lace at once lifts the mode above vulgarity, no matter how popular it may become.
