Thi will never do, There ts sald now to be a hitch somewhere in the new City Magistrates system. One of the charges made against the much-re- ected police justices was that in con- @equence of their political affinities they would not back up the police against excise offenders and hold persons who were put under arrest for violation of the Sunday Selling law. Now we are told that the new City Magistrates, or some of them, are equally averse to giving us a Puritan Bunday in the city, and that two of them at least will refuse to back up the Mayor and Police Commissioner Roosevelt in their war of extermination @gainst the side door. Well, if the new City Magistrates do believe that it is not a very terrible erime to sell a thirsty laborer a pitcher ef beer on a Sunday the people of New York will not think any the worse of them nor feel any doubt that their dis- Pensation of justice generally will be @ great improvement on the political pull police law dealt out by their pred- @cessors, who are now enjoying the ease of retired citizens, What's this?

DRAMATIONEWS ANDNOTES Lawealt Over Eleanora Duse Quiet- ly Settled--A Girl Seeks th je to Support a Horse. Just as the melancholy news that Eleanora Duse had decided not to come to America next season reached New York, @ little legal difficulty connected with her last tour was quietly settled, after a lapse of two years. Mme. Duse, it will be remembered, was a big success in Boston, at Mr. Btetson’s theatre, and when she cancelled a week's time in Philadelphia, she decided to stay in the Hub and give a series of matinees, But she found herself unequal to the task, and appeared at one matinee only. The Rosenfelds claimed $1,500 for their share of this matinee, but when they went to the box office they could find no one there to settle their claim. Later they were told that the various expenses con- nected with Duse's disappointments had swallowed up the money that was com- ing to them, and nothing remained but 90. This the Rosenfelds refused to ac- cept, end brought suit against John Stetson. The case was to have come up in April, but Mr. Stetson was ili, and it was postponed until October. As the Rosenfelds are now in Europe, and it is uncertain when they will return, their representative, Dr. Schiller, has com- promised the case with Mr. Stetson's lawyer, who, on Tuesday, paid him $1,300. “I ventura to ”" remarked Dr. Schiller yesterday, “that when Duse does come to thig country, it will be under the management of the Rosen- felds, She is very diMcult lady to manage and we understand her.

If the “beau ts attracted to tne spoon and clings to it he will be sure to call very shortly, {f not that very evening; but if the stalk goes to |the side of the cup he will not come. In East Anglia, however, this same thing 1s also said to denote the coming of a stranger, and if the stalk is soft the new comer will be a lady; if tough, @ gentleman. If you want to know how many years will elapse before you may. expect to be married, balance your spoon on the edge of your cup, first noting that it is perfectly dry, fill an« other spoon with tea, and, holding it above the balanced spoon, let the dropa of tua gather to the tip of the spoon and gently fall into the bowl of the one below. Count the drops; each one stands for a year. If the cluster of small air bubbles formed by the sugar collect and remain in the centre of the cup, it is a sign of fair weather.

They, are made of dainty fancy shirtinga, chambray, cheviot, lawns, wash silks, nainsook, batiste and linen. Pink, blue and yellow are the favorite colors, and these are made up with white lines collar and cuffs or all of the same mate< rial. Waists with starched fronts like shirts for men are rarely seen, and softer, more feminine waists are the proper thing. Linen and ecru batistes are especially suitable for travelling waists, and whether they are made off silk, Hnen or cotton they all have the pointed yoke in the back, full fronts and are buttoned with pearl buttona, = To Arrange Flowers. 4 ‘This was Celia Thaxter's rule for ar ranging flowers in the house: “Larg@ flowers, of vivid tints, can be put fur ther away from the looke: and yet lose none of their effectiveness or be une seen.
