WASHINGTON, October 1906 A. NJ
Indiana is still claimed by the Democrats,
possibly by less than 5000 majority, with a
gain OF two congressman.
Ohio is Republican by $4,000, with gain
OF three congressman to the Republicans.
Akron City, Ohio, complete, gives 725
Republican msiority-a gain OF 224. Re-
turns from Cleveland are coming in slowly,
but they show that Lang runs largely ahead
OF the Democratic ticket. The probability
is that Charles Townsend, Republican can
didate for Secretary Of State, will have
5000 majority In the county. Ames Town
send, Republican candidate for Congress,
will have 5000 majority.

The Boston Herald has something perti-
nent to say about the praise e-meetings held
by the Kansas and Texas thieves who have
started out to rob the Indians: If anything
were needed to show how slight the respect
is that is entertained for the rights
of the Indians by the inhabitants of the
Western States and Territories, what is
known as the Oklahoma expedition would
furnish all the proof that the most skeptical
could desire. Here is q company of men
expressly formed to break down the compact
which the National Government has made
with certain Indian tribes. The ostensible
reason given for this invasion is, that the
neighboring States are filled with starving
people who must find new homes. 1t is
certainly surprising to be told that, in six
teen counties in Kansas the people are beg
eing for bread. If this is the case, then the
glowing accounts given to induce emigra
ton thither from the East and from Eu-
rope, must be the grossest delusions, and
Kansas as State, must have become rotten
before it is ripe. We may say, however,
that we do not place the least confidence in
such an assertion, even though made by the
reverend gentleman who acts as chaplain
for this piratical company 1t is almost
nauseating to read that these men, who
have started out to rob and maltreat their
fellow beings, spend large part OF their
spare time in praying, singing hymns and
listening to sermons. One cannot help
comparing them with the italian brigands,
who faithfully say their prayers and attend
mass as preparatory step to cutting the
throats of unfortunate travellers.

STYLES FOR FULL DRESS.

STYLES FOR FULL DRESS.
High, square neck basques with half-sleeves
are worn almost altogether for full-dress occa-
sions. Low corsages are very little used, ex-
cept for large balls or for very ceremonious
dinner parties, and the fanciful bodice, with
high square neck, entirely without sleeves,
has not been met with approval; it is too the
atrical, and not modest, and thus far has hap
PLY been confined to the stage. The favorite
basque has position back formed into two
large box pleats, while the front is open square
quite low, and is cut away quite sharply from
the waist line, which is far more becoming
than to button the basque over the stomach.
The square neck is trimmed widely and very
flat, with passementerie and lace ON the front,
but extends into collarette behind, which
may be standing and wired like fraise il the
wearer has long neck, hut if not it is rolled
over in pleated collarette of the lace or
broader one of the bead trimming The neck
and the sleeves of such waists are the obiec-
tive points for trimming. Lace or beaded
sleeves are on all dressy basques. If the
wearer's arm is plump, the entire sleeve is
transparent; but il not, the back half may be
of the brocade, with the upper half of lace, or
else the entire sleeve is broeade, and row of
lace or beaded trimming extends down its
length A cuff of lace and brocade turned up
is more stylish for elbow sleeves,bu this is too
severe, if the arm is thin, and frills of lace,
falling toward the wrist must be worn. When
low corsages are worn, most ladies prefer those
with position back and laced front, though
imported dresses reverse this arrangement,
having the lacing behind, and the front sharp
ly pointed. The round neck with soft bertha
drapery is preferred for low corsages, though
occasionally the neck is cut square, and full
rows of lace are made to fall outward in back
and front. Trains are made flowing from the
waist, and have usually three straight breadths

Do Our Own Work. Keep Our
Money at Home.
The Discussion on Free Trade With the
Professor Continued.

Professor. In railroad iron, you have an ex-
treme case, to show that you do not suffer
from protection, because that manufacture is
rude; is mostly done by machinery; and it
does not require much skilled labor; common
laborers can do the most of it.
ID. No. it is not an extreme case; can go
to the opposite extreme, if you choose to call
it so, the manufacture of fine watches, and
take almost every industry between the nails
and the watches, with the same result, viz:
that we have been great gamers every way, by
our policy of protection. A. few years ago no
watches were made in my country. They
were imported from England France and
Switzerland; few fine watches coming from
Lenmark. Our good, substantial, high-priced
watches as we'll as many cheaper ones, came
from England. Cheap watches, as well as

PROFESSOR c. F. Chandler of New York,
in lecture on Saturday evening told the
people of that city something that will bear
considerable thinking over. He said the
Summer resorts of this country furnish
one of the most prolific causes of disease:
"The more crowded the resort, the greater
danger is there of poisoned air and water.
Refuse of every sort is cast into cesspooIs
near the hotels and boarding houses, or, in
extreme cases, is thrown into unsightly and
ill-smelling heaps at back kitchen doors.
Rain filters this matter through the soil un-
til it reaches the wells or csterns from
which drinking water is drawn. The nox-
ious effluvia of what remains upon the sur
face OF the earth taints the air. Poisoned
with bad air and water, is it to be wondered
at that many New Workers return to their
homes with death overshadowing them. and
dying, perhaps weeks or months afterward.
increase the death rate of the CITY, rather
than of the country, and credit New York
with unhealthfulness that it does not de-
serve?''
