scarcely able to write his name, who
had never owned a decent suit of

by gift of the cab and horses which

THE BEST soap for toilet use
ever manufactured. BEST because
it contains all the excellencies of
the most expensive foreign or
American soaps without their de-
fects. BEST because it combines
strength with delicacy in such q
way that its strong defensive quail
ties do not injure the skin. BEST
because it is the result Of years of
STUDY and experiment in the soap
manufacturing business, assisted
by modern chemical discoveries.
BEST because it contains ingredi-
ents beneficial to the skin, which
unto chemically with the soap
in such q manner as to increase
its saponaceous qualities. Every
chemist familiar with soap manu-
facture knows that some ingredt-
ents which are in themselves bene-
fetal to the skin cannot be saponi-
fed; some are partially neutralized,.
while others injure the quality OF
the soap. There are soaps in the
market which are to some extent
beneficial to the skin, but they are
inferior articles for toilet use.
PHOSPHATE SOAP is the ONLY
article offered to the public which
combines all the best elements or
toilet soap with medical ingred1-
ents beneficial to the skin.

New York-Garfield has carried the State

20, 900. The Legislature is Republican in both
branches, thus insuring Republican United
States Senator TO succeed Herman. In New
York City Grace, Democrat, is chosen May
or by very small majority. Hancock's ma
jority in New York City is H,2I6; in
Brooklyn, 9,979. The Democrats claim a
net gain Of four Congressman in the State.
North Carolina-Democratic by reduced
majority. The Republicans gain one Con-
gresham, Hubs in the Second District
Ohio-Garfield's majority estimated at
50 ,000.
Oregon-Probably Republican by few
hundred majority.

phia gives about 10000 Republican majority.
The Legislature is Republican, thus insuring
a United States Senator to succeed Wallace.
The Democrats claim net gain Of one Con-
gresham.
Rhode Island-Garfield's majority 7,41O.

a solid delegation to Congress.

Hawkins, Republican, is elected Governor.

sional District Pettibone, Rep, is elected
over Taylor. present incumbent, and in the
Tenth District, Casey Young, Democrat, is
beaten by Moore, Republican.
Texas-The Democratic State and National
ticket has about $1,000 majority, and all six
Congressman are Democrats, being gain
of one-Shepherd, in the Fifth District.
Vermont-Garield' IS majority estimated at
q, 900. Republican Congressman all chosen.
Virginia-The regular Democratic ticket
has majority over both the Readjuster and
Republican tickets. The Democrats lose
one Congressman to the Republicans (Dez-
endorf, in the Second DISTRICT, and proba-
bly, two of the Readjusters are chosen-Sto-
vail, in the Fifth, and Paul in the Seventh.
West Virginia -Hancock's plurality will
be about 1900. The Republicans claim the
election of Hutchinson to Congress from the
First District, which will be a Republican
gain.

at $4,000. The Congressional delegation
stands six Republicans to two Democrats, a
Republican gain Of one-Guenther beating

The Indications are that the Republicans
have made sufficient gains in Congressman

the Senate is not unlikely to be tie, giving
the Vice President the casting vote.

Introducing People.

There is no point OF etiquette of great
er Importance than that involved by
introducing people to one another. In
Productions should never be made indis-
criminately. If the slightest doubt is
felt whether a meditated introduction
would be agreeable it is best not to in
cur the responsibility of making it. but
to seek an opportunity of ascertaining
from both parties whether an acquain-
lance is desired. We are speaking now
of ceremonious introductiOns, which
supposes that the persons introduced
should recognize each other when meet
inc elsewhere. But there are formal
introductions of different character,
and which must be carefully dlstln-
guished. For instance, persons meet
ING at a house, when making a morning
call, are frequently introduced to each
other By the hostess in an of-hand
fashion, for the purpose of facilitating
conversation, with the understanding
that the introduction lasts only for that
occasion, and persons having thus acct
dentally met are under no obligation to
bow or recognize each other when
meeting again. The same rule holds
good if, when walking in the street with
one friend you meet another, it would
be optional eithernot to introduce them
at all or only in a formal manner. But
if, in such case, you meet lady and
she evinces a desire to stop with you
you may introduce him formally, but
this would not entitle him to consider
himself one of the lady's acquaintances.
Should a gentleman desire to be intro
duced to lady he should find some
mutual acquaintance who would do him
the favor. Personal intrOductions at
parties are not now in vogue. The rule
now is that, on entering the drawing
room, your name is simply announced
by the servant, and you greet the host
and hostess and any of your intimate
friends. The circumstance of having
been invited should be considered a
sufficient passport without personal
introduction, for joining in converse
ton with others who are present. In
this way late arrivals are not made I'M
pleasantly conspicuOus.-EIchdnge.
