STARTLING REVELATIONS OF ARSON. ‘The confession of Max Glueckman, one of the men arrested for incendiariam and mow in the Tombs, will, if true, startle the.people of New York. It is.a fearful story, and shows that we have a set of eriminals in the clty who for the sake of gain do not hesitate to take human Ife, to bring agonizing grief to happy ouseholda and to subject men, women and children to the most painful and Horrible death that can be conceived. In orie case embraced In the confession, the burning of a tenement tn Suffolk Street, a young girl's life was saori- ‘ced. It Is said that the statement made by Giueckman will lead to the arrest of a .

The directory census is the Eastern duplicate of the Chicago census, except that the figures are more exact. WHITE CAPS IN THE STRERT SWASH. Col Waring’s street sweepers object to the white caps which they are re quired to wear. They would prefer to shelter themsetves under straw hats or military slouches or Western sombreros —anything, in fact, in the head-covering line except the caps of snowy immacu- lateness that are at present a part of their uniform. ‘They have other reasons, we suppose, for disliking the caps besides their lack of umbrageousness, They may not want to be mistaken for Brooklyn trol- ley-oar conductors or croquet players in hard luok. Then, again, they may not care to have the public suspect them of owning yachts or steam launches, upon which they squander the money they earn so hard scraping the streets. The owning of a yacht isn’t such a heinous crime that anybody should be ashamed of it—some ex-pollcemen con- fessed unblushingly to ownership of! yachte—but the cup races are coming off here in September, and Warink's men will feel bad because they know that _ strangers in the city will be surprised ‘and, perhaps, pained to see a lot of yachtsmen sweeping banana and orange ni or monkeying with the club top-salls of their boats down the bay. Of course, if Col. Waring ts going to hire a four-master for the cup races, and means to have hin sweepers on board as hig quests, the caps will come in very handy, and the men will smother their pr nt objections. But, matters now ‘and, they are con- siderably piqued over the caps. Can! you blame them?

Her “Story of Be Costrel” In a Dainty Little Gem. How refreshing it is to deal with « veritable artist—somebody who has s>m: thing to say, and who knows how to Say it; who doesn't have to manufacture & meretricious “style” by the inordinate use of the dictionary, and who can make the simplest story exquisite by the sub- lime grace of tact—which, after all, is a very good substitute for the myth, called genius. I dipped into ‘The Btory of Bes- sie Costrell,” slightly prejudiced. Me- thought that Mrs. Humphry Ward might be dealing in a pot-boiler. It an unworthy idea. I utter a large and adipose “Mea culpa!” Mra. Ward's new story, published by Macmillan & Co. im one of the daintiest little gems I have come across in my weekly library hunts, You'll hate it when you begin it, because you will imagine that it is goin; to be a dialect tale—and surely there is nothing more irritating under the sun. But {n an incredibly short time it will fascinate you, You will gloat over Mrs. Ward's delightful literary habit, and you will revel in the keen dramatic flavor of the episode. A common or garden novel- ist attempting to use the mi “The Story of Bessie Costrell’ be howlingly ridiculous, It !s such a very unstartling story. But an artist like Mrs. Ward could probably enthral us with a description of the Smiths at breakfast, or the Joneses at dinner, while as for the Robinsons at supper— she could make a four-act comedy-drama of them. Here's an inkling of what “Bessie Costrell" is about, but you are to r {t for yourself—mind that. There wat an old villager named John Bolderfield, who, by dint of scraping and economiz- ing, had accumulated the vast and por- tentous sum of £70 ($360). It was a for- tune to him, and he had placed it in a box—all the old half-crowns, the an- tique-sovereigns and the Georgian shil- lings. Nothing would induce him to bank his money. ‘‘All the savor of life was connected for him with that box. His mind ran over the constant excite- ments of the many small loans he had made from it to his relatives and friends. A shilling in the pound inter- est—he had never taken less, and he had never asked more." The peasant's “rooted distrust of offices and paper transactions” made a savings bank im- So ore day, after the death ter-in-law, he gave his cash to band to keep for him. They stowed it key. Bessie was a filghty creature, good at heart, but ignorant as only English peasants can be. Soon after old John left her with his hoard, the neighbors noticed that she spent @ great deal of time in the village wine-room; that she was exceedingly flush vith odd-looking, old money; that her children had remarkably nice clothes, and that she neglected her hus- band, Isaac, who was a sort of religious fanatic. Bessie, of course, had broken into tne box, and was surreptitiously using her absent uncle's hoard, Then, one day, a good-for-nothing son ot Isaac, by another wife, came home, saw Bessie at the box, and stole all the cash with the exception of two sovereigns. The return of old John quivering | with the anticipatory Joy of once again | clasping to his breast his beloved treas- | ure {s splendidly set forth by Mrs. Ward. His agony, consternation and fury when he discovered that the light of his life was gone; that he had been robbed, and by those who were of his own flesh and blood—well, you will thrill as you read about it. And the husband was ignorant of it all. He| had been turning over a new leaf, and was trying to treat poor Bessie more kindly when this blow fell.

One of the newest wraps for Summer wear is the little smart Zouave, with cape-shaped sleeves, which, worn over @ plain gown, makes an elegant and ressy toilet, and ts equally wearable with @ plain black ekirt and a light | blouse, or with a zephyr or muslin cos- ‘tume. After the Zouave has done duty asa Summer wrap, It can be mounted on a plain jacket foundation of thin silk or crepon, to form a tea-jacket for ‘Winter wear.
