Inc total abstinence movement appears 10
have recently gained much additional momen.
tun. from various quarters. In this District
the central organization composed of the re-
ligious temperance societies and those Of va
rious secular orders, has been holding series
Of successful meetings, and secured nearly
1000 signatures to the pledge. The result Is
a practical revival Of the total abstinence fer
vor, such as that which was insuguratod thir-
ty-fvs years ago by the far-faned Washing
tonians from Baltimore, and which spread
over the entire country, raising up and devel-
opinE such advocates as the late Tom MAR
SHALL, LEWIS c. LEVIN, and JOHN B. COUGH.
If we recollect rightly, that movement started
in Baltimore. We were forcibly reminded Of IL
by the appearance here last Saturday night Of a
delegation Of Baltimore printers and journal
lists 10 aid in tho organization OF total alb
stinence legion Of printers, book binders and
journalists In this District. The earnest words
Of President BOWEN, of the Baltimore Legion,
the burning cioquenoe Of Rev. NICK. RILEY,
the frank bluntnsss of President GILL, of the
Baltimore Dashaways, which were so effective
in Lincoln Hall, give assurance that these
apostles have the same abiding faith In the
success Of the pilgrimage on which they have
set out which characterized the cid Washing
tonians. The Franklin Legion" was started
here with about 1875 names, and 1t is predicted
that Its membership will soon be made to reach
1000. There was = large number 81 ladies at
the meeting. That was a good omen. One,
who Is deemed far.sighted and sagacious In
such matters, said This is a ins movement
| IA deserves SUCCESS But mark my word, IL ID
the women who must stop intemper'
ance. They have tho power. They
must not only abstain themselves, bui
they must refuse TO form or maintain
any social OF domestic relations with drinking
men. This would soon stop the demand fol
the aecursed stuff, and no traffic or manufac
ture can thrive without demand for the pro
ducts" Perhaps the ladies will bear thes'
words in mind, and, If they feel interes
enough In the cause act accordingly. There !
but little use in lecturing drinking men
They do not relish il coming from women an'
other non. drinkers. They curse themselve
worse after each debauch than any non
drinker could begin to do. The sorrowful anc
indignant look Of an insulted womanhood, tn
panied expression of shame for the DEGRADED
manhood, the forgiying meekness OF injure'
innocence, coming from mother, sister, wife, O
sweetheart of the fallen one, are any of then
more effective than lectures; but if the culpri
is utterly ignored by the feminine part of hi
acquaintance SO long as his breath bears tn
tsint Of artificial stimulants, he will not be
? great while in finding certificate Of total al
stnence.

Influence at the Executive Man
sion.

Mr.. W. A. HUFF, of Georgia, wanted to
be United States Marshal of that State, and
Senator GORDON did not want him for the
following reasons, contained in q letter
written by the Senator 10 Mr.. HUFF:
heard. for the first time of. your being
pressed for appointment as q suitable person to
build up the Republican party in Georgia. Sur
prised at this, l nj once asked the President to
withhold any appointment for day, and until
could be heard from. The President consent
ed. therefore asked the President the direct
question, is Mr.. HUFF urged for appointment
as Democrat? Y He said, "No, not as n DEM
ocrat, but as a man with very liberal ideas in
politics." Tho information given me by the
President himself, supplemented by the fact
that Messrs. MCBURSEY and DIBBLE had pre-
sented and urged your appointment because 1t
would materially strengthen Republicanism In
] think, sufficient reasons, for my opposition to
your appointment.
HUFF was not appointed because Senator
GORDON did not want the Republican party
strengthened in Georgia, and Mr. FITZsrM-
MONS, Bourbon Democrat, was preferred
by the President. This is not news, but we
reproduce the circumstance as reminder
that Senator GORDON is the man who, just
before the vacation In Congress, grossly vio-
lated the proprieties of the Senate Chamber
by insulting Senator CoNKLTNG, and then
intimating a challenge, which he took good
care not to transmit He was generously
helped out of that difficulty by the interpo-
sition of friends, and thus, no doubt, saved
his State from Senatorial vacancy.

The financial and revenue reform referred
to is as yet unknown to the country. II IL
exists at all it snuggles in the undeveloped
resources of the Presidential mind. No
clearly and well-defned system of finance
or revenue re form has as yet reached the
people through any Of the messages or COM
munications,of the President or his Cabinet
ministers, and IL cannot be expected of any
party or any people that they shall attempt
to comprehend measures Of which they
have no knowledge. The President may
favor gold, silver, or greenbacks, or all of
these as a solution Of the financial problem,
but the people are not advised of his real
position by his own utterances. The time,
therefore, has come for him to speak and let
the worst be known. Speaking may relieve
him and the country. When the President
clearly defines his position these national
questions, so that it can be understood, then
the situation will become more plain, and it
can be judged whether his sympathies and
views are in accord with those Of the Re-
publican or Democratic party, or with
neither. No doubt when the President
puts himself in o distinct position he will
find party at his back, but until that time
arrives he will have little or no following
from either of the great political divisions

Gen. Mckenzie arrived at Eagle Pass on
his return from his Mexican raid on the ed.
He penetrated about 45 miles into Mexican
territory from Newtown, the place of cross
ing, where he was confronted by detach-
ment of Mexican troops under Col. Valdez,
who forbade his further progress. To this
Gen. Mckenzie replied that he should force
a passage il necessary, and overawed by his
determination, backed by superior force
of troops, the Mexican commander thought
wise to retire. One account says Mckenzie
recovered 400 head of stolen stock; another
one says he made no captures.

"Under Fire.

The first time that soldier goes into
action he fancies the shot he hears whiz-
zing through the air is aimed at him.
But if he is not hit at first he soon ac-
auires a sort of fatalistic feeling that he
never will be. The eve OF a battle might
be supposed to be a solemn moment. L
have been at several ewes (says Mr.. ID.
Labouchere in his paper, Isath), and
never perceived the vestige Of solemni-
ty, nor-so far as | could perceive-did
it strike any one that the next day he
might be killed The thoughts of every
one were concentrated first on supper,
and then on finding a comparatively
comfortable place in which to sleep.
During battle all not Immediately en-
gagged are simply bored. If ever
hand-to-hand fight takes place it is due
to some bungler being in command on
one side or the other. Most of the reg
iments engaged do not even see the en-
emy Attacking in column and bayo-
net charges are things of the past
Shells and bullets are fired into posi-
ton or upon troops advancing. The
victory is decided by artillery and breech
loader-firing. Those who can concen-
trate the heaviest fire upon particular
strategical points win. So mechanical
is the whole affair that it is an admitted
axiom that if one-third of the best regi-
meut in the world can be put hoTS de
! combat, the remainder will execute a
strategical maneuver to the rear.-Bos-

The Popular Four.Per.Cent. Loan.

WASHINGTON, June 20.-The Secretary Of
the Treasury has issued circular calling at
tention to the four-per- cent. funded loan of
the United States, now offered by the Depart
ment at denominations for coupon bonds of
bonds of $50, 500, $50 and 81 900, $1,000 and
$4,000, Mt par and accrued interest to date of
subscription in coin. The bonds are redeem
able July !, 1907, and bear interest payable
quarterly ON the first days OF January, April,
July and October of each year. and are ex-
empt from the payment of taxes or duties to
the United States, as well as from taxation in
any form by or under State, municipal or
payment bonds will be transmitted free
OF charge TO subscribers, and a
nj of 1pon of per cent
tions. Commissions will be paid by check
only, and will not be applied In payment of
subscription. All national banks are now in
vited 10 become financial agents of the Gov
ernment and repositories of public moneys
received on sale of these bonds upon COM
plying with section 5, l53 of the Revised Stat
utes of the United States. All banks, bankers
and persons are invited to MD in placing
these bonds, and can make their arrange
ments through national banks for the deposit
of purchase money of the bonds. The pro-
ceeds of the sale of the bonds will, until
further notice, be only used in the redemp-
ton of $40 6 percent. bonds of the
United States under the Refunding act.
Payment for bonds may be made in coin,

the success of this loan, as every
sale of these bonds enables the Government
to save one-third of the interest ON an equal
amount of the outstanding debt to be re-
deemed. These bonds should be the store
house for the savings of the people. No IA
cility or advantage will be given to large
subscribers. II is in the interest of the pub
lie that bonds be distributed in small sums

FASHION NOTES.

Ladies' kid gloves have a heavy stitch
ing on the outside.
Children's dresses are being made
longer by an inch or two.
Gold enameled bracelets are worn by
very small children.
"Mother Hubbard" is the name of
one of the latest bonnets.
The Iceland floss is much used for
crocheting shawls and sacks.
Little girls wear earrings of gold,
coral, enamel or turquoise.
The richest dresses are trimmed with
elegant beaded passementerie.
Velvet pocket-bags have monogram
in silver upon the outside.
A new design for pin is bundle
wood with hatchet across it.
Black parasols lined with white or
cardinal red are very stylish.
The "Countess of Rosebery" is a
new combination of the finest ostrich
feathers of the most delicate shadings.
For the coiffure are real butterflies
with all their varied tints preserved, and
mounted on silver tiligree or gilt.
In earrings one of the latest monstros-
| tiles is silver arrow, which, when
worn, looks as if it were thrust through
the ear.
Mantles made of stripes of lace inser-
ton and velvet, and bordered with lace,
will be worn again this summer. They
are very stylish.
Fichus will be much worn this sum-
mer. Those of muslin will be en-
broidered in colors, and collar, cults and
handkerchief must match.
French lace is very much used this
season, and some of it initiates the thread
lace so closely that it requires connois-
seur to distinguish it.
The linen dress for house wear is made
of the princess shape, and embroidered
all down the front and round the turned.
down collar; reverse sleeves, cuffs and
pockets.
Odd square Chinese figures on Grape.
surrounded by colored satin and finish
ed with white lace, in the form of tides

The Street of Nations.

One of the most curious features of
the Exhibition, and one that first at
tracts general attention, is the Street of
Nations. One of the sides of this ave-
nue. is a series of typical facades, that is,
of fronts of buildings erected by the ex-
hibiting nations, and each of n special
type of architecture. That of the Unit
ed States is credit to Mr.. Henri Petit,
engineer, who directed the building.
By its proportions, its harmony, and the
care in its details, it answers to the idea
of thoughtful and practical nature.
One fingers before this specimen of a
friendly dwelling house, or useful es-
tablishment, so pleasing and attractive
by its elegant simplicity and charming
coloring. Sweden and Norway show
an edifice of fir wood, with tower, and
the reproduction of an old clock of the
tenth or eleventh century; Greece, a
house of the time of Pericles; China,
an actual house brought from Pekin.
Spain has rich facade where remem-
brances of Grenada and Seville are
gathered. The Russian architect was
inspired, it is said, by the palace OF
Calomma, near Moscow, where Peter
the Great was born. 1t is impossible to
finish the catslogue.-Cor. Boston Adv.
