preme Court, rendered a decision in acivil-righ- ts case, wherein Wm. F.

In conclusion, Judge Gilbert says that the stat-ute, by guaranteeing equal privileges,does not confer the right to enjoy them incommon with any class of persons, or inany particular school, and that nothinghas been shown from which it can be in-

ferred that the relator has been deprivedof the equality of privilege to which he isentitled. The motion for a mandamuswas denied.

attention in New York at present. A re-

porter of the Tribune has been visiting thehaunts of the homeless, and in a recentissue gives an interesting account of thenumber and habits of those unfortunates.Sleeping in Union Square, in doorwaysand under wagons, he found, at threeo'clock Sundav morning, 258 men of allages and conditions, from the most de-based beggar to the well-dresse- d debauchee,sleeping off" the effects of a night's ca-rousal. The average number of lodgersin the square is about 175. The policehave given up the task of compelling themto "move on," finding it easier to keepthe evil-dispose-

d ones uader surveilancein troops than separately. At CentralPark, which the police try to keep clear oftramps at night, forty were found sleep-ing, while in the ruins of the hotel pro-jected by William M. Tweed, at Filly-nint- h

street and Fifth avenue, fifty-fou- r

The other public squares andparks throughout the city are more or lessfrequented by these vagabonds, the major-ity of whom subsist by petty thieving andsometimes burglaries. After a nightspent in the sky-roofe- d lodging-hous- e thetramp bethinks himself that he must havehis morning dram. Looking over the wayhe sees a pile of beer kegs which havebeen emptied ut the saloon, and with anoyster-ca- n or piece of tin formed into arude vessel he catches the dregs from thecasks and drinks. Passing up the streetshe comes to the market and watches hisopportunity to catch a bone or piece ofold meat or, going to the railroad depotsor vegetable and fruit stands, he looksabo'jt to find a discarded cabbage or othervegetable, or perchance a few apples orpeaches which have not been soli the pre-vious day. t

LAKE MICHIGAN DISASTERS.

The Milking of tliel'ropellero Equinoxand Mendota SurTlvort Storleo.

The Chicago morning papers of the14th contain detailed accounts of the lossof the propellers Equinox and Mendota,as given by rescued parties. The onlyknown survivor of the crew of the formeryosel reached Chicago on the 13th, hav-ing been nicked up by the schoonerHavana. llis namtf 1 given bv one ofthe papers as Charles Burns, and his storyis condensed as follows:

Bums, who was a wheelsman, remainedin the wlieelhonse until five minutes oftlie time the Equinox went down. Whenthe line by which the M 3 was towedwas cut ihc propeller had in-art- eighth et of water in her hold. Her gangwayhad been stove in br the heavy seas andthe salt between decks was washing over-board. She had only two boats. Onehad been launched, containing Capt.Dwight Scott, the mate, two lire-men- , sixdeck hands and another man, unknown.There re twenty on board in all, in-cluding two ladies. The propeller wentdown liy the stern, and just before thesinking Burns and Capt. Woodruff hadbeen working to get the second loatlaunched. The tackling caught, however,and neither having a knife with which to cutthe gU3s it became too late, and Burnsand Capt. Woodruff" took to fenders, ofwhich the former secured two. The up-per works of the propeller floated oil", andBurns seeing the deck of the pilot-hous- e

within a short distance of him, struck outfor it and succeeded in getting upon it,thus losing sight of Woodruff'. ThoEquinox went down about ten miles offPoint Sauble, at about two o'c lock Fridaymorning, or a little after, and Burns feelsquite certain that all, except those in theboat, perished, as also Capt. Woodruff", asthe latter could not possibly live in thatsea on the fenders. The young ladies, thedaughter and niece of Capt. Scott, wereso overcome by fright that the3' were easyvictims. Besides these ladies there wereleft on board five persons. . A blanket audsheet, from the berth below the pilot-house, were secured by Burns, and helashed himself to the uprights in whichthe wheel was rigged, and so floated, liewent through a terrible ordeal, and becameso chilled and exhausted that had it notbeen for his precaution in lashing himselfhe must have been washed off' and per-ished. An hour or two after the sinkingof the propeller the second cook camedrifting in the vicinity c f Burns, who saj'she unlashed himself, swam to the man andgot him almard the pilot-hous- e deck, butlie soon afterward died and washed off.Later, the boat containing those mentionedabove came along. Capt. Scott askedBurns to enter it, but he preferred not, andthe boat and raft soon afterward separated,the boat going Burns docs not knowwhere. The gale was at its height, andBurns does not think Capt. Scott's partyweathered it. At least, if the boat hadoutridden the storm or been picked up,she ought to be heard from by this time.Burns took to the fenders at about two a.m. Friday and was taken off' his raft aboutsixty miles off' the Manitous,the middle ofthe lake at nine p. m. Saturday, the raitgoing to pieces soon after.

Eight of the survivors of the Mendotaalso reached Chicago on the 13th. Oneof their number, a seaman, tells the fol-

lowing stor3':There were f wenty persons on board the

propeller, including two ladies, the Cap-tain's wife and the Steward's wife. Theyhal a prosperous voyage until theyreached Glen Harbor, on Lake Michigan,about four o'clock Thursday afternoon,when the wind began to blow a gale fromtho northwest. A few hours later thewind changed to the north, and a fearfulsea was making. They passed Point Bet-se- 3

at a quarter past twelve Friday morn-ing, and the propeller, though laboring,went along all right. At about two o'clockone of the barges, the Morning Star, brokeadrift. By this time the arches of the pro-peller broke away and she began to makewater. TI1C3' then let go the other barge.This was about eight miles east of PointSauble. When it was observed that shewas siuking one of the boats was lowered.Tiie Captain was the first to enter theboat and the mate the second.Ev-rylxd- that could crowded into it.The crew were told not to get in it bythe Captain, but to launch the secondboat, though he knew there was not timeenough to "do it. Ten persons crowded inthe boat, and when the Captain saw hiswife was not in it he tried to have herpaved, and in the effort to do so he fell outof the loat, and was jammed between thearch and boom. The Captain got backinto the boat again, and more tried to getin, but they were driven back by the mate.The Captain's father fell out, and waskilled by being jammed between the bul-warks and the hawser-box- . In the effortto save the Captain's wife, who was seenclinging to the hawser-box- , the owner'sson, Biily Crossthwaite, anil the secondengineer were thrown out of the boat.

The wind wasterrible, and the waves were filling thesmall boat in which they were, but by bail-ing they managed t keep it afloat Theywere on the boat twenty-nin- e hours, andwere once passed by a vessel which he isconfident was the schooner Emma A.Mayes, and, though they made signs ofdistress no notice was taken of them, andthe schooner passed on. When they nearcdland they saw a small schooner comingtoward th-?n- which proved to be the Ad-di-e,

Fall Dresses.

TnE first importations of fall dressesshow very little change from the fashionsoftheBummer. Basques, over-skirt- s andsacques prevail, as they have done allsummer ; it is said an effort to restore thepolonaise will be made later in the sea-son.

The cuirass basque fitting the figuresmoothly will be retained. It will havebroad forms behind, whether with orwithout side bodies. Short backs willalso remain in favor. Freshness will begiven the cuirass by new ways of trim-ming. The front may be plainly but-toned, or else only fastened across thechest over a vest, and there are also somenew basques that button diagonally. Thedouble Byron collar is one of the novel-ties that will appear on fall costumes.This consists of a large Ityron collarmade ot the silk that forms part of thecostume, upon which is a separate smallercollar ot the same shape, made of thewoolen goods of which the suit mainlyconsists. Silk sleeves with woql basqueswill be worn again, giving the populareffect of sleeveless jackets. Basques ofplaid and striped costumes will be cutbias; to make these effective there shouldbe very few seams to-- interrupt or breakthe lines, hence the broad French backsare preferred for these, anel the lines aremade to meet in the seams. Long bowsmade of doubled silk are set about onbasques and sacques. sometimes in mostuseless places, as at the end of the frontor back seams, while others are on thechest at the throat, just back of the neck,and on the wrists. Silk pipings finish theedges of basques. Sleeves are simplytrimmed, and of close coat-shap- e. A band

of narrowly-folde- d silk pleats around thewrists, with a pleated frill falling on thehand, makes a stylish cuff for silk or torwool sleeves. Pleating and braid are thetrimmings most used.

There are new ways of draping ovor-skJrt- s

l3r pleating them to the lower skirt,and putting heavy box-pleatin- g down thefront. The present effect of long tablierswith short backs is also retained. Thelong round overskirt that was among thefirst introduced, and has oxiste-- despiteall novelties, is now slightly changed, andis called the long square overskirt. Thischaije is in the back, where- - it is leftopen from top to bottom, has souarecorners below, and is trimmed with apleated frill up each side of the openingto the belt; the deep front is close andclinging like that now worn, .and its backis arranged so that its trimmings w ill meetand stay together instead of falling w ide-I3- -

open. This is prettily illustrated on afall suit of black and white shepherd'scheck of very heavy twill. The longsquare overskirt has 11 pleated frill ofblack velvet, and is worn over a lowerskirt of black velvet. The basque has ablack velvet vest and velvet sleeves.Double Byron collar, one of velvet, theother of wool. The long overskirt.-- ofhandsome black silk costumes are stylish-ly finished bj' having their entirecut into squares neatly piped, and the lot-to- m

of each square trimmed with fringeor wifii lace. For trimming wool suitsthere are heavy wool fringes more elaboratethan aii3r fringes before shown. There arefringes, deeply netted, fern fringes, Ityfringes, w ith small tufts of wool tie-e- l on astring, bell fringes, and newly-arrange- d

tassel fringes.Buyers just returneel from Taris confirm

Mine. Raymond's assertion that stripes arepreferred there to plaids; but they learstripes w ill not prevail here, because theyhave not gone out of use for several sea-sons past, and purchasers are asking forsomething more novel. However, someof the most stylish imported suits are ofstriped Algerienne, soft, flexible woolfine, 3'et of coarse, w iry appearance. InParis it is worn in brown, blue anel graygrounds, with stripes of gilt and tinsel,anel is trimmed with gold or silver gal-loon. To be stylish the stripes must bebroken and irregular, just as plaids noware, instead of the even, bold stripes onceconsielereel stylish. Among striped Alge-rienne suite for early fall Wear arc thoseof black grounds striped with w hite linesin clusters of three or four lines separatedby wide black spaces. These are madeup with black gros grain, and trimmedwith black agate buttons. The sielc plcat-ing- s

of these stripeel suits are alwa3 s cutbias. One model that has been dupli-cated for several houses is of black andw hite striped Algerienne, with a deep biasside-pleate-

d flounce around the bottom.The tablier has a broad box-pleatin- g ofblack gros grain down the middle, orna-mented by two rows of agate buttons, anelholding the Algerienne apron, w hich is

to the front breadths of the lowerskirt; pointed hack breadths edged withnetted fringe form drapery behind. Thestriped basque is cut bias and pi peel withsilk; two silk scarfs begin at the waistbehind, and are tieel in a long bow on theeelge of the basque. Double Ityron collarand silk sleeves complete the suit. TheLous XV. jacket of stripeel stuffs, showinga plain basque like a vest underneath, isalso frequently seen with such suits; thesleeves arc also plain to match the vest.Leael-eolore- stripes on black grounds areconsidered stylish combinations.

Plaiel woolen suits will be made in thefashions just described for stripes. Newplaid thinners are straight and gathered,and are edged top and bottom with knife-plcatin-

of solid color. Plaiel trimmingson suits of solid color ar largely imported.Dark navy blue woolen suits are trimmedwith white and blue plaid.

Costumes of hcavj Knickerliocker clothwith irregular knotted threads will beamong the handsomest woolen suits. Thela-s- t models are in solid colors, althoughstriped anel plaiel Knickerbocker woeilcnsare very largely imported. Dark seal-brow- n

Knickerbocker, with the raisedthreads of lighter brown or of white,makes very tasteful suits when trimmedwith brown silk, velvet or braid. Somesuch suits have diagonal rows of wideTitan braiel across the tablier, vest andsleeves. There are also hanelsome suits efheavy breiwn ele bege, warm enough formidwinter, trimmed with brown silk anda brown braiel in which are threads of giltand silver.

Another very heavy fabric, similar toKnickerbocker stuff's, is called Snows ofSpitzbergen. It has a elark cloud-gra- y

ground of thick wool irregularly dottedwith white fleecy spots like snow-flake- s.

This will be used for over-dress- onty, asit is too heavy for the whole costume.

Porcupine cloths are also new this sea-son. These have dark, smooth grounds,thickly set with phaggy hairs that aremore soft, and pliable than those of the

Tctl 1 porcupine." This w ill be usedfor outshle wraps, sacques and jackets.Finely twilled serges and cashmeres in in-

visible plaids, also in dark Highlandplaids and other dark mixtures of colors,are commendeel by merchants of experi-ence. Quaint combinations of colors areshown ia stripeel 6erges; thus plum-colo- r

is striped with blue, gray with cardinalred and navy blue with green.

Damask-figure- d gooels of fine wool arecombined with gros grains in street cos-tumes. These are shown at houses whosefastidious customers refjuire the latestnovelties. The figures are in matelasesdesigns, anel resemble the moyen-ag- e bro-

cade silks already described. A browneuit of woolen damask lias the basque ofdamask, with silk sleeves. The back isquite short, has two small pwketstrimmed with bows, and the waist is de-fined by. buttons of shaded tortoise-shell- .

The over-skir- t is edged w ith wool fringe,has long bows down the fnint and is madeshort and lxiufTant behind. The silk skirthas a shirred puff, with alternate rufflesof silk and wool. Foreign correspondentsdescribe costumes of damask wool asso-ciated with velvet of the same shade andtrimmed with silk braiel in which arethreads or checks of gold and silver.

Black cashmere suits promise to remainthe jiopular attire for autumn and winter.They are no longer trimmed w ith showyjet and lace, but with substantial braids,fringe anel made trimmings of gros grain.A very neat model has a long cuirassbasque and long square overskirt. Thebasque has silk sleeves, Byron collar, aknife-pleatin- g of silk on the edge, a clus-ter of silk pleats down the back seam, andlong Ixrws down the front. The over-skir- t

has tw o row s of knife-pleatin- g on the edgeand up the back ; a row of bows is clownthe front, and a "reticule" pocket of silkis on the left side. The lower skirt is ofsilk, trirnmeil with three narrow side-pleating- s.

Correspondents who haveasked for hints about early fall suits areadvised to use this model. It is verystylish for traveling costumes when madeup in seal brown or flate-colore- d cashmere

--and silk. Those who are making blackalpaca suits can also take thi for a guide.The pleatings should be of alpaca, andbuttons may be useel instead of bows. Thebuttons used on new suits are saucer-shape- d,

an inch in diameter, and haveeyes in the middle. There arc also veryneat plain buttons of twilled silk putsmoothly over a wooden mold. Harper'sBazar.

Fifty long ye-nr-s of smiles ami tears bl ight

have crawled their broken waves!How far away their echoes dead drop down

in memory's raves!

Old crowns from dust gleam, buried, and oldscepters lie forgot;

Old prisons, earthquake-shake- n low, haveopened doors for Thought;

Gray, giant sluniberers have waked withblindness in their ryes;

The West has rounded toward the East moremanly destinies.

Some miners toil w ithin a mine one morningbright and fair,

In olden excavations deep below that morn-ing air;

When lo! a dreamer lying there, asleep inyouth benign!

And with his dream about him, Jrcsh, theybring him from the mine.

No one remembers seeing hirn. None knowhim. Who is he?

Lying a dreamer all alone, a man of mys-tery?

Full of the love-drea- long ago, he seems adreamer now:

Yesterday's kiss is in his heart, this morn-ing's on his brow!

They arc all gone, they are all gone, thoeloFC-fumili- faces;

Old footsteps falter far away, old echoes losotheir places;

No father, no mother, no brother, stealsamong that crowd to see

From the old coffin of he--r love he wakens Inher heart!

Love only sleeping there like him leaps up aslive nnd young

Her eyes unhlinded by the years of patient-waitin- g
