An Open Letter.
TO the Judges Of Fancy Work at the
Late Helena Fair:

TO the Judges Of Fancy Work at the
Late Helena Fair:
I sent large fichu, also handker-
chief, in point lace, and a collar ana
cuffs in honiton to the Helena fair.
They were entered as such, but were de-
barred from taking premiums because
the judges decided that | had entered
them wrongly, calling the point lace
honiton and vice GERS I, OF course the
Helena ladies could not be wrong i'll
their entries.
Again, one lady stated positively that
my fichu was point applique. l was
three months doing the ichu, and 1t
was made entirely with the needle,
while modern point applique is made
on foundation of fine Brussels net.
The honiton work is much easier and
does not require SO much time. | have
done and seen a great deal OF modern
lace work, both here and in the states,
and I know that the straight braid is
called and sold as point lace bralds, and
all the tied and open work braids are
honiton. Ii those ladies are in doubt as
to the proper terms they would do well
to write to Madame Gurney, the pioneer
lace worker in America, or to Chas. -.
Bentley, who deals most extensively in
lace materials (both in New York;, and
they will find that their information
does not agree with their entries. Again,
if they will look in the Young Ladies'
Journal ian English magazine) for Oc-
tober, 1884, they will find both patterns
and names, which may settle their
doubts, now the fair is over.
/ was told after [ sent my work that
no premiums in fancy work were ever
- ol1 hD
the case, it will prevent many entries
which would otherwise be made, al
though it encourages home manufacture.
Had the decision been on the merits OF
the lace, | would have been perfectly
satisfied; but when it occurred through
ignorance, feel it necessary to give the
proper information. to prevent mistakes
in the future. ANNIE S. TURNER.

st. John and His Million Votes.

Topeka, Kan, September 23.-A con-
ference was held with st. John tonight
by members of the prohibition state
central committee, when they discussed
the question of nominating another cam
didate in place of A. L. Jetmore, who
was nominated but declined. 1t was
agreed that the party shall put up an
other candidate, but who it will be was
not decided. There are three or four
aspirants for the honor. Mr.. st. John
leaves here tonight for the east, and
will make speeches in Ohio. New York.
Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois un-
til the oath of October, and then return
to Kansas, and from that time until. the
day Of election proceed to stir up the
situation here. The governor says he
will receive more votes in western New
York and portions of Ohio than either
Blaine or Cleveland, and feels confident
his vote throughout the country will
reach one million.

Canadian Pacific Troubles.

OTTAWA, September 19.-Mr. Steph-
ems, president, and Van Horne, general
manager, of the Canadian Pacific, are
here asking further concessions from
the government. Since their arrival
rumor is current that to make anything
like feasible route through Kicking
Horse pass of the Rocky mountains will
be impossible. There are four miles Of
line at that point which will have a
grade of about 260 feet to the mile, some
thing unheard of heretofore in railway
construction. Good practical engineers
say that the road at that point will be
only temporary. The company intend,
now that the road has been adopted by
the government, to build track in any
shape SO that rails may be connected
with the British Columbia section, and
that an engine will be run to Port Moody
in 1886, SO that they may be able to boast
Of having through line, no matter at
what cost, before again appealing to the
country.

The Corn Corner.

CHICAGO, September 23.-There has
been high state of excitement on
'Change again this morning. which cen
.ters chiefly in corn pit. The extraordi-
nary prices at the close of trade yestes-
day were fully maintained in early
transactions to-day. The price for
October corn advances from 58a to 59a,
while cash September held stiffiy at 81.
These figures have evidently caused a
great portion of all the corn ia the
country to tend toward this market, as
the arrivals to-day were nearly nine
hundred cars, with vast number of
loaded cars reported side-tracked near
this city. The first sales of cash corn
were made at so, but break suddenly
occurred and the price fell off to ~,
near approach to q panic in the
pit and largely increased by the impress
sion that the corner was broken. October
fell off to 46a, but rose again to 47a.
November fell off to 49,. but advanced
to All. Soon afterwards the price for
cash corn rose again to rs and traders
again showed more caution.
