Madge in the London Truth.
Apropos of civic dignitaries, we saw the
future lady mayoress' state dress at Nine.
Worths the other day. 1t is to be worn at
the banquet on the 9th. The train is of
striped white plush and siclienne, lined
with gold-colored satin. At the top of the
train is drapery arranged in plaiss so that
the stripes run across, lengthening at the
sides, and showing the gold satin lining.
The train IS finished off at the edge with
loops of the striped plush lined with gold
satin and filled in with pufings
of white gauze. The bodice is made
of the striped material with
waistcoat of white satin embroidered in gold
in an effective design. Round the Shout
ders it is trimmed with gold lace. An
epaulette of white velvet ribbon is on one
shoulder and bow is on the other. The
dress is white satin, with really exquisite
gold embroidery on the tablier. Iridescent
lines represent water, upon which lie the
broad leaves of lilies worked In shaded
plush. Golden water lilies. slender grasses,
and groups of berries detached from the
background form the rest of the design,
which is one of very great beauty. At the
edgde is fringe of gold and pearls falling
over f1ounce of white satin. At the right
side of this lovely tablier is panel of the
striped plush and sieiienne. and at the left
a broad sash of white satin lined with gold
is tied low down on the skirt.

THEATRICAL CHEsTNUTs.

A Chicago dramatic paper complains that
the theater season is the worst this year
that has ever been known, and is at loss
to know whether it is an indication of hard
times or whether the fault lies with the
profession. It is said as rule that the
theater is the first to suffer when times are
bad and the last to feel the return OF pros
perity. To an impartial observer it must be
apparent that if this years theatrical
season is in a suffering condition the times
are not to blame for it. The country is in
a prosperous condition without regard to
the condition of the theaters. 1t is true
that when times are good and people are
prosperous they take more interest in
amusement matters than they do in dull
times. They have more money to spend.
and they spend it. The theaters naturally
enough come in for their share OF it, and
thus it is they are in certain
sense indexes to the prosperity .of
the country. So far as our Northwestern
locality is concerned the cOnditi IN of the
atrical business indicates full measure OF
prosperity. There has hardly been time
in the history of the Twin City theaters
when business has been better than this
season. But it seems that the Northwest
is an exception. In the East the business
has been frightfully dull, and the dizziness
extends as far west as Chicago and st.
Louis. Theatrical companies are going to
pieces in every direction. The record
of one week shows a wreckage of
thirty-fve companies. This is a bad
showing for the theatrical business, but it
does not necessarily indicate that the pros
perity of the country is on the wane. On
the contrary, it is only evidence that the
amusement patrons are not fond of chest
nuts. The people have plenty of money to
spend on theaters. but as long as theatrical
managers continue to give them what they
do not want they will not pay for it. What
the theatrical managers want to do is to put
new shows on the boards-nOt only new.
but good as well. Old stars who persist in
sticking to old plays and going through the
same rigmarole every year deserve to be
wrecked When the theatrical barnacles
and parasites are gotten rid of then the
theatrical business will pick up, and not
before

LIFE-sAyING HEROES.

Inc recent casualties upon the lakes. in
Volylng extensive destruction of property
and great loss of life, call attention to the
noble but arduous labors of class of men
VINO receive too little public recognition
the men of the different life-saving
stations. During the past fall, especially,
have the life-saving crews been taxed to
the utmost In all kinds of weather they
have been faithfully at their posts. and
with untiring vigilance have stood ready to
respond TO every call for aid. Through
their efforts many lives have been saved
and much property recovered which would
otherwise have become prey to the waves.
And yet, despite the Self-Sacrifcing nature
OF their duties, the exactons and priva-
tons which they are called upon 10
endure, the risk of life and limb
which comes in the course of their daily
life, these heroes have no fixed status under
the government. Employed in the spring
and discharged at the close of navigation,
the crews no sooner become proficient than
they are scattered. For them. too, there is
no indemnify in case of injury, no pension
in case of disability. They simply perform
their duties, and perform them well. for a
compensation which, compared with that
received in other branches of government
employ, is paltry in the extreme. Yet not
withstanding these drawbacks. the Life
Saving service of the United States has be-
come model to other nations. Efforts will
be made at the coming session of congress
to ameiiOrate the condition of the men ell
gagged in this laboriOus service. Nothing
could more deseredly engage the attention
of the country's lawmakers.

THE NEW THROUGH LINE.

Assurance OF the early completion of the
Duluth. South Shore & Atlantic railway
line gives st. Paul more importance as a
railway center than ever. 1t will give st.
Paul through line to the Eastern seabOard
several hundred miles shorter than any other.
The advantages of this are obvious. Every
mile that line of transportation is short
ened means so much reduction in the cost
of transportation, and every cents reduc-
ton in the cost of transportation means so
much additional business for the railway
lines. Instead of being an advantage to
the lines running from this city to Chicago
the building of the new line will add more
than enough to their transportation bust
ness to compensate for the reduction in
rates. And all the time st. Paul will get
the advantage of both the competition and
the increase in business.

A lively episode in the history of the Kas-

series of uncompromising ballots had been
cast and it was thoroughly shown't that neither
White nor Dunnell nor Lovely were accept
able to a majority of the convention, the
Steele county delegation pleaded with the
Lovely and White delegates to select some
new and good man, pledgiIg to give him
their support. They urged that it was doubt
full whether either White or Lovely could be
elected if nominated, and that the good OF
the party demanded new candidate. Waba-

ment. The Lovely and White men would not
listen to these suggestions. They were do

LOUISVILLE. Nov. 21.-To-day at Fair
view there was dedicated church erected
on the spot where Jefferson Davis was
born. MI. Davis was present and there
was an immense crowd, many of whom
couldn't get into the church and were
forced to leave, as it was raining hard.
After the dedcatory sermon. Mr.. Davis
was invited to the pulpit. and, bent with
age and supported to the stand he made a
few appropriate remarks, closing as fol-
lows:
May He who rules in heaven bless indi-
v1dually and collectively this whole commu-
nifty, and may His benediction rest on this
house forever. More than this it would be
improper for me to say.
Mr.. Davis then presented the church a
service Of solid silver. The church is a
handsome brick structure, costing about
$4,000. After the services the crowd ad-
Journed to munificent dinner spread in a
building near at hand, where all were
plentifully fed.

LONDON SOCIALISTS.

If Queen VICTORIA ever spent restless
night, last night must have been the time.
The sight of 95, 900 people in attendance at
a socialistic meeting right in the heart of
Britain's capital was, calculated to cause
the head that wears Britains crown to lie
uneasily. 1t looks as if the socialistic agi-
tators were getting their work in very clev-
erly on the other side of the water. While
such monster meeting of socialists does
not bode well for the peace of England. it
may serve good purpose in attracting the
attention of English statesmen to home
matters long enough to give Ireland rest
from oppression.

The new letter-sheet envelope appears TO
IND popular favor. the issues to Is of
November amounting to nearly 8. 900, 600 in

opinion that they will be esteemed desire
able by the business public especially, and
that they will to some extent supersede
postal cards and unsealed circulars. The
present contract for the manufacture of
letter-sheet envelopes is terminable at
pleasure 1t having been entered into ex-
perlmentally to prove the proposition by
actual trial. Inasmuch as he fears that the
novelty OF them may have caused the great
demand up tn this time, and that the pres
ent favor may not endure. he thinks longer
experiment is desirable before permanent
action is taken.

The Mnp who Heat Morrison.

Jehu Baker, who has beat Bill Morrison for
congress. by the aid of the labor vote, is not,
as some people will imagine, an agitator with
only gift for haranguing and no brains. He
isn't an agitator at all, but an old man who
belonged to the Abe Lincoln coterie of Illinois
politicians. He was in Venzuela as the
American minister for nearly twenty years.
He had been forgotten and was altogether
lost to sight until some Democratic office
seeker hunted for him, found him, and got
his job away from him. In 1866 he beat Nor
rison for congress, and in 1868 he did 1t again,
In 1870 he was beaten himself. Then Grant
appointed him in the South American re-
public. Old Baker is in the 60's. He has
written several clever books, the best known
of which is 1.-THE Grandeur aud Decadence Of
the Romans"

POSTMASTER GENERALS REPORT

POSTMASTER GEN ERALS REPORT
The report of the postmaster general,
which is given to the public to-day, shows
a most satisfactory exhibit of the financial
condition OF the postal service for the past
wear. He calls attention to the fact that
the previous year closed with deficiency of
public revenue to meet postal eXpendi-
lures of almost $1,000, 900. exclusive
of the cost of transportation on the
Pacific railroads. In consideration of the
fact that the reduction in the rate Ofpostage
on second class matter and the increase in
the unit of weight of first class matter from
a half ounce to an ounce went into effect on
the first day of July. 1885, the postmaster
general did reckon on the revenues for 1886
exceeding S44. 900. 900, while the estimates
for the expenditures of the year. which had
been submitted by the department for the
action of congress, were over $50, 600, 600,
and S54. 600, 600 was appropriated by con-
gress. While the revenue falls short of
the estimate by only S64, 900 the eXpendi-
lures have been limited to less than $751;,
600. 600, leaving balance of over So, 000,
600 to be returned to the treasury. There
is satisfactory showing in the percentage of
increase of cost of the service over the
previous year. The increase of population,
the rapid development of new country. the
constant addition to our railroads and the
sound policy of supplying all our people
with good postal facilities necessarily de-
mands continual expansion of means and
cost year by year. The percentage of in
crease in cost for the year 1856 over the
previous year is &c. which is marked de-
crease III the annual rats of increasing ex-
,enditure during number of years past.
Referring to the special delivery service,

live experiment with the new system, with
