AN EXCURSION FROM ST PAUL.

About 800 ST. Paul citizens went to Du-
luth Yesterday morning to witness the game
of base ball between the st. Paul and Ze-
NTH City teams The trains pulled out at
SIS o'clock. The First Regiment band ac-
companied the eXcursionsts and contrib
uted largely to the pleasures of the trip.
There were few tin horns along and one
or two carried brooms. Such members of
the party as cared to make bets
were given an opportunity by the Duluth
men, the excursionists backing their own
team, as q rule. The party took in the
game and looked over the city to greater
or less extent The train bearing the ex-
cursionists arrived in st. Paul at about 80
o'clock this morning and. headed by the
band, which played pecan of victory,
marched up Third street, cheering OCCASION
ally for the team which had done them the
honor to defeat the opposing nine on the

The Latest Suggestions About
Waiting.

If the observation CT social waltzine
in New York and Europe for more than
forty years proves anything whatever,
writes Allen Dodsworth in Dancing and
its Relation to Social Life it is that
the method of holding which is pre-
scribed belowis to-day, as at the begin
ming, adopted by all who may be no.
ticeable for refined manners and move
ment. The gentleman approaches the
lady. offering his left hand-one who is
au fait will at the same time make 2
slight inclination to bow. The lady
places her right hand in that of the gen
tleman, who then extends his right arm
in direct line to the side, the forearm
bent so as to form an acute angle. In
this angle the lady will place herself,
with the center line OF the person oppo-
site the line of the gentleman's right
side, both persons on parallel lines, not
forming an angle. In this position
each will be looking over the other 8
right shoulder, and by the lady turning
her head slightly to the left the effect of
the group will be greatly improved, and
prevent all possibility Of taking each
others breath, which is rarely pleasant,
and in the case of young man directly
from the use of a meerschaum is 'posi-
lively horrid," as many ladies have re-
marked. The lady, if not too short,
places her left hand, hooked, upon the
gentleman's right shoulder, the fingers
appearing in front. The right hand of
the gentleman should rest very gently
on the lady's back, as near the waist as
possible, so as not to remove the up
ward pressure of the elbow directly un-
der the lady's shoulder, as this is the
lady's support and must be held with
sure but gentle frmness. The hand on
the back should rest very lightly, and
on every possible occasion should be
slightly raised, so that the air may pass
between, as in some cases the close con.
tact induces perspiration and may leave
its mark upon the lady's dress. Both
persons should be slightly bent forward
from the hips upward, so that the shoul-
ders may be only three Or four inches
apart, the distance increasing down.
ward; this leaves both parties free in
their limbs, so that any contact of per-
son or knees may be avoided, and
should be so avoided as a most serious
mistake. The gentleman's left hand,
holding the ladys right, should be ex-
tended downward in a line with the
body, the hands three or four inches dis
tant from the person, the arms forming
a gentle curve from the shoulder down
ward. No weight is placed upon this
arm; all the guiding and changes must
be governed by the elbow under the
ladyfs arm. It will be found that this
grouping will be perfectly modest in
appearance, no more contact of person
occurring than in lady's taking gen.
tleman's arm for walking. In conclu-
sion, let it be remembered that purity Of
thought and action may be as conspicu-

ton Of life; that the gross waltz grossly,

Fashionable Dress in Java.

A lady who has been visiting in Java
writes to the Missouri Republican: as
soon as we got to the house our hostess
provided us with ''sarvengkabaya' to
put on. This is the native dress of the
country, and is worn by ladies all
through the heat of the day, being
light and cool. 1t consists of two parts;
the "sarveng' or skirt is about four
yards wide, in one piece, with one seam.
1t is drawn tightly around the waist
without q wrinkle, and folded over in
front in one or two great folds, and tied
on by sash. There are many kinds OF
"sarvengs," almost every district haV-
ing some special way of making and or
namenting them and waere a stranger
would see no difference, connoisseur
at a glance distinguishes between Ba-
tavian. Samarang, or Solo pattern. In
some places they are woven, sometimes
with gold or silver thread, in Others a
rich pattern traced in wax on fine
cotton OF silk. The process is called
nbattick", and these are the finest.
saryeng-making is a great industry
among native women, and they are
of ali prices, from one or two guild
ers to fifty and sixty. The wives
of chief and high born natives make
them as a pastime to use themselves or
give away, and often trace story or
legend on them One such I saw repre-
sented in most intricate pattern, the
tree of life and its branches. The
"kabaya" or jacket is made on the ma
tive pattern, and would not, fancy,
find much favor in Paris and New York,
but it is loose and comfortable and in
keeping with the eastern looking dress,
Finally the feet are bare, but to keep
them off the ground slippers are used
Just for the toes. The slippers are ex-
quisite in beauty and finish, and must
excel even those far-famed crystal slip
pers of Cinderella's, which we dreamed
about and envied in our childhood.
They are made of velvet or satin Of any
color, richly embroidered with beads
and s;lyor or gold thread in close pat
terms of leaves OF birds and finished of
with high gilt heels, which tap, tap,
cheerfully as one walks about these
silent Indian houses. The embroidery
of these slippers is done chiefly by Chi
nese women. We could not at all man
age this dress at first, and my sister and
insisted on putting on the sarvengs on
pushing all the fullness to the back, and
in this way making them look like i'll
made under-petticoats, and quite spoil
ing the picturesqueness Of the dress.

How Mr.. Hendricks Wished to Die.

this long suffering was greatly to be de-

would die in that way; he thought that
when the time came he would 60 quick.

Prosperity and Politics.

Accepting the dry-goods trade in
this city as "a pretty fair barometer of
the country's prosperity" the Tribune
is gratified to learn that "large and
numerous sales are now reported by
New York merchants generally aud
that 'the business also is well distrib-
uted and payments are unusually
prompt" And it adds that "this pleas
ing condition of affairs could not
be if the country to-day were not in
much better shape than it has been for
a long time"
This frank admission of palpable
fact does not agree with the dire
prophecies of evil to the business il
terests of the country in case the Dem
ocrats were intrusted with the control
OF the Government which the Tribune
and other Republican organs INDUCED
IN two years ago. These predictions
were equally ungenerous and absurd,
inasmuch as the Democrats are quite
as much interested as are their political
opponents in the business prosperity OF
the country, while ten years out of the
last twelve of Republican rule had
been marked by serious business de-
preston and Labor troubles. But the
Democratic party has now been in
power for year and a half and has an
assured lease of two years and half
more, with bright prospect of a long
tenure, and yet Mr.. Blaine's New York
organ is forced to admit, by the indi-
cations of renewed prosperity on all
sides, that the country is today sin
much better shape than it has been for
a long time"
We are not disposed to copy the ex-
treme partisanship of our Republican
nelghbors, and claim that the bounti-
tul crops, the favorable condition of
trade, the increased earnings of both
Capital and Labor and the renewed
confidence of the people are all due to
the party power. We simply recall
the prophecies of disaster and note the
admission of their failure by way of
instruction to the people when next
the Republicans shall appeal to them
as they are sure to do-to readmit their
gray old rats to the public cheese in
order to "protect the business interests.

300 Miles an Hour by Rail.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
When George Stevenson asserted
his ability to run passenger coaches at
a speed of twelve to fifteen miles an
hour, scientific and practical men deem
ed him fit for lunatic asylum, but
time has shown that trains may be run
at a much greater velocity without
materially adding to the dangers of
railway travel. The fight of the fast
express on the Pennsylvania Railway
is marked example of the possibilities
in the way of sustaining high rates of
speed. This road now runs the fastest
train IN America. Nine hundred and
twelve miles, including seven stops
are accomplished in 25t hours, and
the average time is $500 miles an hour.
A portion of the distance is run at the
rate of IS miles an hour. AT a speed
of 60 miles an hour the drivlrg wheels
of the locomotive on this train make,
25S3 revolutions a minute. VIM.
Vanderbilt's spurt of 81 miles in 6l
minutes on the New York Central is
declared to be the highest rate of speed
ever attained in this country, but this
speed was not surprise to good engi-
neers, many of whom are firm in the
belief that 100 miles an hour will yet
be accomplished on American roads.
Thirtyone years ago Col Mpiggs
read a paper before the New York
Farmers Club on "Future Travelling"
in which he expressed the belief that
railroad cars could be safely propelled
by steam at the rate of 800 miles an
hour. He said: "The Emperor of
Russia has taken the first great step
toward what | deem the ultimatum of
railroad travel. Instead of cutting
what | call mere drill through the
country and going around everything
in the way for straight line, he has
cut broad way for 500 miles from
st. Petersburg to Moscow. He has
made it all the way 200 feet wide, so
that the engineer sees everything on
the road. This is part of the future
the railroad from point to point with
a mathematical line .the rails zen times
stronger than are now used; the loco
motives on wheels of a far greater d.
ameter the gauge of relative breadth
the signals and times perfectly settled;
the roads on both sides during the
transit of trains having the gates of
the walls all closed-then instead of
travelling 100 miles an hour, we shall
more safely travel 800 miles an hour
One of the latest efforts at improve
ment in locomotives is that of French
man named Estrade, who has con-
structe1 an engine which he calls La
Parisienne. La Parisienne, when
watered aud fired, weighs AZ tons. It's
driving wheels, six in number, are 81
feet in diameter. The cylinders are
outside, with valve boxes on the top.
The diameter of each cylinder is 184
inches and the length of stroke is 2
feet and 8! inches. This engine is
built for high speed, and will carry
pressure of 200 pounds to the square
inch above the atmosphere, or an abso
Lutte pressure Of 2l5 pounds. Estrade's
engine Is designed to run at the aver
age rate of 7S miles an hour
