HOUSEHOLD.

THOSE who have grown tired OF the
square pincushion will be pleased to
know something new has come up in
the shape of a pincushion. The three
bags Joined together with a large bow,
appear to furnish the bureau and give
1t a tasteful appearance. The cushions
for the bags are made separately; they
measure five inches each way, are made
of some soft muslin, and filled with
sawdust which has been sifted, INT the
Gner it is the better. The outside can
be made Of silk, satin or plush, all OF
the same color, or each bag OF different
colors that blend well together. Pink,
blue, and cream color, form a pretty
combination, and can be used in either
a PINK or blue room. Make outside an
inch longer than the bags or cushions,
slip them in the covering, and tie them
together at the top. Fasten a large
bow of several loops and ends at the
top. If the bags are of different col
ors the bow should be t~ri-colored also.
Some pmcushions are made OF one
large bag, the top trimmed with lace.

Ohio Democrats at War.

Mr.. :. X. DOnavin. a prominent Ohio Demo-
crat, has published an open letter addressed to
Senator Payne in which the latter is plainly
accused of fraud and dishonor. This letter has
attracted a good deal of attention, not alone
because of the damaging charges brought
against Senator Payne, but from the fact that
it is generally accepted as declaration of war
Thurman wing of the party, with which Mr..
Donavin is closely identified. Senator Payne
is told that the men Ohio has elected to the
United States Senate, with one exception,
have been eminently fitted for it, and, what is
still more a matter of congratulation, We're
elected without corruption, and that he is
the exception. The place YOU now fill was
not honorably and honestly attained,' contin-
ues Mr. Donayin.
During the canvass your name was not mcn-
toned i'll connection with the United States
SenatOrShip unless il was done i'll a whisper.
The great public did not hear of it, otherW i>e it
is altogether probable that the Republicans
would have had majority in the Legislature.

when you ask for them, made mysterious visits

was to corrupt the men who had been elected
as Democratic members of the Legislature.
They succeeded.
The letter then refers to the scenes at the
State capitol, where Mr.. Payne was represent
ed by his son and other members of the stand
ard Oil Company. OF the Senatorial contest
Mr.. DOnavin says: Every essential to a great
contest for such great honor absent eX
cept one. The only quality present was mon
ey. That quality your friends exhibited in the
most lavish profu>ion." The letter concludes
with mention of the unfit appointments sccur-
ed by Senator Payne and with scathng de-
numciation Of the Senator's political methods.
And this testimony, il should be remembered,
comes from Il life long and active Democrat,
who is not speaking for himself alone. The
New ork Herald SAYS: I'VE hear that Ohio
Democrats who believe Mr.. DonaNin's stale
mentS intend to appeal to the Senate against Il
considerable number of appointments made by
the ground that the men appointed and now
before the Senate for confirmation are unfit.

accusations it can hardly be avoided.
