he knows OF no ball dresses made in Wash
ington for less than 5000. In nearly every
instance the materials have been of the
richest kind, the trimmings handsome and
costly, and the toilets in every respect
worthy of such state occasion. He says
that the dresses which he has seen made in
Washington by modistes have compared
fsvorably In all respects with dresses made
in Paris. He has seen laces valued at 20, 900
francs used upon dresses made for ladies Of
Washington. Twenty thousand francs in
American currency is nearly 81, 600.

THE NEW UNION DEPOT.

The Union Railway bill, we understand,
will be reported upon favorably to-day by
the committee having the matter in charge.
The Sentinel has already referred favorably
to this subject and we once more recur to il
With pleasure, aud renew our re-
quest that it may have favorable
consideration at the hands of our law max
ers. The travelling public is apt to form
some estimate of a city By its depot struct-
ure and facilities. There is an enormous
amount OF passenger travel to and through
our city. Since the railroads are DESTROYS of
making the city present a more presentable
appearance and afford better accommoda-
tons for the public, all at their own ex-
pense, we are in favor of the State granting
them permission to do 50. 1t is not appsr-
ent that any citizen can suffer by the passage
of the bill, while it does appear that the
city, State and all people who travel by rail
to and from Indianapolis will be benefited.

The Grain Inspector.

To the Editor of the Sentinel:

Colonel Closer is opposed to an inspector
being appointed by the Governor and am
informed that what he did say was: "It is
the greatest imposition ever perpetrated on
the American people, and Democratic move
to Office room, etc"
would like to ask Closer II be is aware
that in Chicago, as in indianapolis. the In
spector of Grain became SO corrupt and I'M
beaTsble by the management OF CLIQUE,
taat not only the people OF Illinois, but the
Almighty took it up, and took il out Of
their hands; that heaven blushed at the
suffering Country dealers by having grain in
spected by one inspector as Low as possible
and out by another one after being
mixed with unsound rotten trssh
and because he feared to lose his
position if he did not do "a the clique or
deTed. ss number two, or q higher grade and
that at last it became necessary to place 1t
IN the strong arms OF the State law, and
now Chicago inspection stands the most re-
liable on this continent. He (Closser) may
say, What are you going 10 do about It?'
and that we have our inspectors regard ess

Time has been when Indianapolis was a.
market, but now q mixing pot OF Satan, and
country dealers avoid.it. am informed that
what commission men are left are Disguised

A Tcmnerance SnrIng.

a few years ago wonderful spring
was discovered within the limits of the
great Yellowstone National Park. It's
waters are said to contain soda, carbOnic
acid. sulphur and other minerals in COM
binatiOn with iron. 1t is even said that
the miners and teamsters love these wa
tiers better than they do whisky or beer.
A bill has passed the House of Repre-
sentatives to throw a large part of the
park reservation into the national
domain. This remarkable fountain,
which is known as Soda Butte Spring, is
included in the lands affected by the
bill, and it is said that a syndicate has
been formed to take possession Of the
spring in the event the bill becomes a
law. What kind of syndicate it is that
wants this spring is not stated, but it
would be well for the temperance people
to keep their eyes open, and if its waters
are as remarkable as they are said to be,
they should be utilized as soon as posi-
bic in the war against King Alcohol.
How soon would the consumption OF
alcoholic liquors cease if the people OF
every part of the country could procure
water, which even miners and teamsters
prefer to whisky and beer, and which
besides is possessed of medicinal proper
ties of a very high order: If the spring
could not supply the demand, there is no
doubt that waters in every respect SINH
lar to those which it pours forth could be
produced by artificial means. There is
high medical authority to the effect that
artificial mineral waters are just as efFec-
tive and wholesome as the natural.
What would be the use Of prohibition
laws. and high license laws, and Sunday
closing laws, if people could procure
such waters to drink as are said to be
found in the great National Park: 1t Is
to be feared, however, that there are a
good many topeTs who would not drink
Of the wonderful waters, unless a guar.
antee should be given them that they
would cause the usual cOagulati on OF the
brain and lim5ering Of the lower ex
/ trenIties.
