Things Every Woman Wants to Know

The present fashion of dressing the HAIR
brings ornamental combs into use. Some are
of tortoise shell in low, high backs and half
cOlOnet shapes. Others are of silver i'll half
high tops in open work, while others again
exhibit devices so suspended as to take a
tremulous motion and thus add to their bril-
liant effect at night.
A new fancy in iewclry is tie gypsy ring,
composed Of a massive band of gold into
which is set a precious stone or tones so that
only the surface of the gems is exposed.
Novelties in hair brushes are those with
metal backs in place of cellUloid, rubber and
the like. Some of these are Of silver, hand
SOmely embossed others are of Gilt plate,
and all come put up in elegant cases.
Among new things exhibited with the holt
day goods were thiinbles OF shell and metal
inclosed i'll Russia leather cases, and designed
us drinking cups for gentlemen.
Gold and silver braid is sometimes let into
the wrist Of long gloves. 1t has the effect of
bracelets without breaking the outline of the
arm.
On some of the new stationary the mono
gram is embossed in one metal and decorated
in another. For instance the letter a" will
be OF two crossed swords in golden bronze,
with a silver serpent twining around them.
Paris dressmakers are working from ideas
gained from old Venetian paintings. 1t is
from JneSc that IneN are drawing the cOllDlll-
atoms of rose and dark red, blue and anne
thyst, and golden, yellow and green which are
now fashionable.
Jointed China dolls and China animals are
among the cheap playthings.
Patent leather slippers are again popular.
The lew watches have, many of them,
white open faces, but those with full cases are
most popular. a pretty and convenient
watch is o he having the dial in enamel on the
face, and III the centre i small crystal through
which the hands appear. Guard, leontine,
opera AMI fop chains are al! mora or less
worM, though the first mentioned is Just now
the most popular style.
Conspicuous among fancy jewclry are the
convenient and inexpensive clatelainn
watches with nickel or rubber settings. These
range in price all the way from Sc to $50.
The fan is a tavOrite design in lace pins,
brooches and earrings. These articles come
not only in solid gold set with precious stones,
bit in silver, nickel and gold plate.
Fans for evening occasions show a revival
of shell sticks. Russia leather 0nes are out of
date. Some of the handsomest fans are finished
with shaded feathers, others exhibit satin
covers that are hand painted.
The fancy leather goods this season come
in light and dark shades of French, calfskin,
goat and sealskln and the always popular Rus
STA leather. Portmonnaies, tolios. card cases
and similar articles show in their decoration
what is termed Vienna raised work. Some
times this is accomplished in different colore,l
leather; again it is a mosaic Ct silk embroid-
cry or velvet.

SchUrZ and His Reds.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA Washington
special to the Evening Post says: For Oh
vious reasons Secretary ScI!urz desires to con-
duct negotiations with Ouray's band of South
orn Ute Chiefs with as little publicity as pos
sible. 1t generally may be said that he has
taken very firm an,irnlical grounds. His two
fold position is that the murdtrers of the rco-
pie at The agency must be detected and sur
rendered, and that the Utes must consent fo1
reasonable equivalents to leave Colorado.
The Indians are disposed to yield to these de-
mands. Schurz feels sanguine that the treat
nent will be brought to Il successful termina-
ton on the basis stated.

His Relief in Happy WedIOck, and why
He Was Disquieting Husband.

Mrs. Louise Chandler Moulton has recently
printed some "reminiscences Of the late Hep
worth Dixon, in the course of which she mar
rates: He was exceptionally fortunate in
his domestic life. His home was one of the
pleasantest in London. Once in conversation
with him l asked whether lie thought the ma
jority of marriages were happy Or unhappy ?
Happy, certainly was the reply. Il think
most men marry for love, and get the right
woman, with whom they are perfectly salts
fed through life. OF course, however, there
are wives who fail to hold the hearts of their
husbands
"'WiIl you tell me- I said. Sin what you

Secretary Burch, of the Senate, has decided
to test the question whether a Senator can
spend by far the largest portion of his time at
home, ard still draw his full pay upon ap-
pearing in Washington. Sharon arrived in
Washington uneXectedly Tuesday, but wheth.
er for a visit or legislative business is not yet
known. He was engaged in showing his
friends about the city. Burch says. that in
case he applies for Ills back pay, he will de-
ellie to let him have it until he can receive
a formal opinion in regard to the legality Of
such payment from the First Comptroller of
the Treasury, and probably also from the
Senate committee on Judiciary. The law is
very explicit Oh this subject, though through
custom it has been allowed, in fact, to become
il dead letter. 1t is made the duty Of tie
Secretary Of the Senate to deduct from the
pay Of Senators Il proper proportion for every
day they are absent from other causes than
sickness. 1t has become the practice to over.
look this law in cases of absences of reaSona-
BILE length, but no other such case as that Of
Sha,on's has been presented of late years.

HOUSE,

WAsIINGToN, jan. 13 -The bill appropri-
ating 1900 for furniture for the House, was
passed.
Mr.. Gartield's motion that the library pur-
chase works on finance and political economy
for the Ways and Means Committee, was
adopted, 172 to 81.
Many executive communications were re-
ceived and referred.
Mr. Money, Chairman of the Committee on
Postotlicrs, submitted a report to accompany
the bill for the establishment of a return let
ter office referred.
The House went into Committee of the
Whole on the report of the Committee of
Rules.
Mr.. Dunnell objected to Rule 18th, and he
said that any amendment to the appropriation
bill which changes the existing laws unless it
ictrencl'ed expenditures, the rule was UNI
democratic. Submitting the House to the
control of a bare majority of the Committee
on Appropriations, he opposed the rule re-
curing the Committee on Commerce to pre-
pare the river and llarbor bill for the Commit
tee Oh Appropriations, and he denounced the
attempt to make the river and harbor bill
appear to be a gigantic steal.
Mr.. Barber opposed that proposition also.
Mr.. White believed one committee should
control the appropriations.
Mr.. Brown took the opposite view, that in
iilahihs the appropriation C"lllihlttee Solc
arbltrators, was setting up an aristucracy and
making the speaker an autoclat.
The committee then rose.
Mr.. Shallenberger introduced a bill to re-
fund the national debt, reduce the interest

The Maine Republicans who have been so

warts have attempted to organize IA LegiSla-
ture of their own. without a scmblance Of
LEGAL authority. and have done so in Il clandes-
tine way which carries with it its own evil
dence Of fraud. The Fusionists at least gave
public notice of their intention to organize
the Stale government, and each duly or tech
nically elected member was given a certificate
of election as a necessary qualification before
the Legislature could legally transact bust
ness. The Republicans reverse tins order of
proceedings, and Il curporals guard of them
without making any one aware Of their in,cn-
tons, enter the State House and proceed with
the mock ceremony of organizing the LegiS-
lature. 1t was II dark lantern affair Of the
most knavish character, and will be con-
strued by friends and foes alike as a c%onvinc-
ing evidence of the weakness Of the Republi-
can cause. If wrong has been committed by
the Fusionists, there are legal remedies Of
Which the Republicans can take advantage,
to secure and preserve their rights. The fact
that Mr.. Saline friends find It necessary
sur1pptItiously to take possession of the State
building and clandestinely to organize their
own Legislature, conclusively demonstrates
that they have 10 confidence III the legal mer-
its Of their case.
