FASHION NOTES.

Fashion demands short bangs, and only slight
ly waved or curled.
Basques of thin fabrics have shirrings down
the center Of the back and a full moliere vest in
front.
The simplest wash dresses in white are tucked
to the waist, with round gathered bodices and
sash of the material
Medici collarettes. erected on fine wires are
made of lace and are large enough to form a
background for the head and its high couture.
Red is introduced on bathing suits in every
conceivable manner. Red sash, red collar, red
stockings, and the Turkey red handkerchief is
worn as turban.
The prettiest hats for babies are made of
shirred white lawn, with strings of the same
about two inches wide; when they are edged with
lace they look much better.
The wide, soft silk cravats are popular for lit
tie boys, and are always the most becoming and
picturesque they can wear. Plain foulard silk in
rich solid colors is often used
When French woman wears gray she adds
always some vived touch of color to the costume.
a cluster of scarlet or bright blue on her bonnet
for instance, which completes the artistic effect
of the whole.
Riding habits for summer may be made of
heavy brown linen, with vests and lapels of white
pique. Riding boots worn with these habits are
made of goat skin. The high silk hats are still
worn though they are never very becoming.
Ladies who use the tricycle. in England wear
a dfeSS made OF dark olue serge, the Sklft Killed
or tucked, with jersey waist and pantaloons as
for riding habits. This dress Obviates the
necessity of many under garments and will not
catch the dust. Compactness is the aim of these
dresses.
1t is no longer fashionable to wear iewery in
the street or IN calling; nothing but the simplest
of round-headed silver gold pins used at
the throat and if earrings they must be of the
most modest description The collars tud should
be of hammered gold or silver, with or without
Rhine stone
The jersey will be as popular as ever for sum
mer dresses, but it is now made with a vest of
another color, and has velvet collar and cuffs
with postillion pleats of velvet, and velvet but
tons. The vest is in contrasting color, red, or
cream or gray, with black with lighter shade
of the same color.
For June weddings bridesmaids wear white
tulle bonnets of very small size gathered on
wires and without any thick foundation; large
cluster of flowers to match the dress, if colored,
or bouquet carried in the hand, is the trimming,
and the largest part of the bonnet is the full
tulle strings tied in great bow under the chin
and stuck through with three or four fanciful
pins of pearl or gold, enameled OF jeweled

A PIONEER GOVERNOR.
How an Indiscreet Remark May Ruin Poll
tician.
The Youths Companion.

The Youth Companion.
Some forty years ago Governor of Indiana
was a candidate for re election. During his term
the Methodists had sought legislation to estlb-
them, and was reported as saying that the Meth
odst Church did not need an educated ministry
an ignorant one was better suited to the ca
pacity of its membership
The indignant Methodists cast their votes
against him. and elected James Whitcomb a
lawyer and a class-leader.
ut was the amen corner of the Methodist
Church that defeated the Governor, said the
late Bishop Ames ''and l had hand in the
work"
The successful candida to had been brought up
on farm, where there was plenty of hard work
and coarse fare. The boy loved books, and read
all that he could borrow. much to the chagrin of
his Woodworking father, who, being a pioneer
thought that his son should be laborer rather
than a reader.
James" said his father again and again to
the studious son, you'll never amount to any
thing You handle a book too much and scythe
too little"
Jimmy, said neighbor who had noticed the
boys craving for knowledge some day you'll
be United States senator; you study while
others play"
The neighb or's prophecy was fulfilled in 1s49,
when the Legislature sent James to the Senate
of the United States.
The Governor was good musician and played
the violin with skill.
Once, While Journeylng on horseback, he
stopped at log cabin on a prairie AS he en-
tered a lame young man was scraping away on
an old fiddle. He laid the instrument on the
bed, and led the Governors horse to the stable
Taking up the fiddle the Governor tuned it
and began playing. The young man returned
and, seating himself, listened as one entranced
The Governor played Hail Columbia"
IF had fifty dollars" shouted the youth,
springing to his feet I'D give every cent of it
for that fiddle. never in all my life heard such
music!"
The Governor, pleased at the compliment,
continued playing until he was tired. As he
laid the violin on the bed the young man seized
it, carried it to the fire, where he could examine
it, turned it over and over, and then called out:
Mister never saw two fiddles so much alike
as yours and miner
A distinguished geologist says that his success
in life is due to few words of advice given him
when a young man by Governor Whitcomb.
Follow" said the Governor lone line of
thought and research with your whole mind and
soul

has brought you settled convictions.

An APPEAL
For a Decaying Enterprise.


SIDEL1NG HILL, Mp, March Is, 1884.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
The break Oh the canal may be re-
paired by Sunday or Monday night If
the workers have plenty of good luck.
Superintendent Stanhope says he will
do all in his power to rush it ahead
and have boats running next week.
Several empty boats are lying on the
east side Of the break waiting for nav
lgation to re open.
Many old boatmen who have been
OF the canal for three or four years,
had intended to get stock and COM
mence again this spring at their old
trade, but the outlook for the canal
this year is so poor that they have
abandoned the idea, and many now on
boats are looking around for other en-
plopment on account of the reduction
that is talked of in boating coal.
A prominent canal official of Cum
berland, We are informed, has been
around among the boatmen Of that
place and advised them to not accept
reduction-to hold out for the old
price, 80 cents. Under the circum-
stances this means "strike." This
movement with many others. proves to
us that the present management have
done and are doing all they can to
cripple trade on the canal. They were
not satisfied by striking themselves
against the coal companies, but now
want the boatmen to join them. l
don't think it will work, as this is not a
good year for strikes among the boat
men, especially with the canal ring as
a leader. The boatmen want all that
the trade will allow them, but they
can't see the point in kicking just now.
when We have jealous railroad wait
ing to monopolize the carrying of coal
from the Georges Creek mines to the
east. The boatmen won't strike,
neither can they stand much of re-
duction. The only strike that will be
made will be strike for their homes
and other fields Of operation, as many
have done Ill the the last three years.
/ do wonder at the business and in
auential men of Allegany, Washing
ton and other counties remaining so
quiet on this canal question. It is
evident TO all who are doing business
on the canal that it is fast passing
away as highway for the good of the
people, and all are aware it is not the
fault of the canal, but of the manage
ment. Why don't the Board of Public
Works come to the rescue and use the
canal, as it was intended, for the people
and not for politicsi We are told if
we tamper with the present manage
ment that it would injure the demo-
cratic party in the west end of our
State. To this would say-if they
continue in the course they are pursu-
ing the use of the canal will soon
be lost to the people and party also.
On these grounds say the present
management with the consideration of
every business and workingman along
the line Of the canal, and more than

Slow IN CoMING.-The news of
heavy contracts awarded this region,
and retailed from time to time during
the two last months, naturally aroused
considerable expectation. The tardi.
ness of beginning operations, how
ever, has disappointed many, among
whom there are to be found those
who manifest it by Impotence and
skepticism as to the credibility of the
reports.
For our own part We adhere to the
belief that a prosperous season is
ahead. The delay of commencement
is but an echo of the intelligence from
all departments Of the business stu
alton.
But stocks of coal are reported low
and diminishing, and demand for re-
Punishment must soon set in.
Besides, we are ahead of the aver
age of production at this season Of
the year. Even in 1873, the greatest
in our history, the record to March
22d was 334,793 tons. To the sam,
day in 1884 the output is 393,34s
tons, or 5S,555 tons greater than 1873
sThe skies are bright and bright
ening." A heavy tonnage will go
from Georges Greek this year, OF
which the companies operating
around Frostburg will undoubtedly
contribute an immense fraction.

MUST BE AN ERRoR.--In the Senate
discussion Of Monday over the ad-
iutant-general's salary Mr.. Brace is
reported as having referred to the
State militia as "toy soldiers and
said that if Baltimore regiments had
come up in Allegany during the riots
they would have had to fly like chat
before the wind" We are inclined
to doubt that Mr.. Brace used the
word "riots." The term implies q
character of proceedings that did not
occur. Otherwise, the handful Of
Baltimore policemen that did come
would have been of less weight than
"chaff."
