Boston Traveller.
'sAway down East" there is certain
little Laura who amused her friends
last summer by giving the reason why
she was always truthful, which was not
the exact counterpart Of the immortal
hatchet story, however. Upon being
asked if she ever told lie, in very
solemn tone and with an earnest shake
of the head she answered.: "N0, l
never tell a lie." The question was
then repeated: ''Are you sure, Laura,
that you never tell lie?" In a more
solemn tone than before, and with a
more solemn movement of the head, she
said: "No, never tell lie." ''And
why" pursued the interrogation, anx-
iOus to know the true reason for the
child's earnestness in in the matter,
shave you never told lie?" With a
continued movement of the head and a
sanctimonious lifting of the eyes, she
slowly and in subdued tone replied:
'God would know it if l told lie. 1t
is so wicked to tell lie, and God would
know it if l told lie." Then looking
suddenly up, with knowing glance,
she added: ''And l know I'd get

London Queen. The cream was made
of thick. firm corded silk, trimmed with
Irish guipure, sufficiently wide to al
most cover the little skirt, on which it
was laid quite plain, and of which it
formed the only ornament. 1t was also
employed for the collar and cuffs.
For wearing with this there was fine
straw hat, with rounded crown,
trimmed with velvet. having two stiff,
upright, white wings nesting among
the cream-velvet bows; cream and
white combined served to enhance the
charms of both.
The other little coat was rather more
simple, made with broad box pleatS and
large buttons up the front. There were
several white pique frocks, all trimmed
with handsome thick white muslin en-
broidery; they had imported capes,
edged with the same, Surmounted also
by a broad collar. A cream flannel
dress, trimmed with embroidery, dis
played in addition little plush. The
sleeves in this were original. They
were tucked in such a fashion that they
were full at the top and at the wrist,
where they were edged by very fine
silk-run lisse.
EThere were shoes and stockings for
each suit and dozen hats in all, besides
the washing ones made in thick mus
lin. drawn and trimmed with work, so
that they could be easily unpicked and
rearranged. The others consisted of
straw. silk, plush and felt, all with the
lace-pleated baby cap beneath the brim
showing loops of narrow ribbon. A
corded cream-silk hat was made with
the beefeater-shaped crown with ostrich
tips: another in felt had round crown
with ''full'' velvet bind on the brim and
velvet strings,

corn form, trimmed with striped vel
vet. Nearly all were turned up in the
front, among them a sailor-shaped
straw. Terry velvet was used for trim
ming some of them.

After all, it is perhaps better that the

THE USUAL RESULT.

When Winter finds that Spring,
To strife though disinclined,
Has yet made up her mind
To brave his clustering.
Then he, officiously,
Puts on his manner coarsest,
And storms and howls his hoarsest
Loud, long. maliciously.
She falters not meanwhile,
Sometimes she softly weeps,
But still, throughout she keeps
Her temper and her smile.
Until, when ends the fray,
Like every other she,
Of high, of low degree,
At last she has her way.

Then whip the whites of three eggs
with three tablespOonfulS of granulated
sugar, until they can be cut with a
knife, flavor slightly with vanilla or
almond and spread over the top OF the
dish. Set on the ice two or three hours
before sending to the table. The cost

oranges are not used, and the dish
should supply six people.
Another Seasonable dessert, especially
nice with a dinner of roast mutton or

President Cleveland is alarmed, the sup

The Yellow Fever Exodus Still Contin-

JACKSONVILLE, Aug. 1S.-The fever
panic continues and the people are leaving
the city by every known means of exodus.
Outlying cities and towns are continually
establishing quarantine against us. Macon,
Ga, which had opened its gates to all,
refused and closed them to-day. The only
known exit now Is through Atlanta. The
police force has been increased and six
mounted police now patrol the streets day
and night. No case of yellow
fever has yet occurred among
the negro population. Business is
completely paralyZed and the negroes out
of work gather on the streets, and it is
feared they will soon begin to plunder and
pillage the hundreds of unoccupied houses.
RumOrs of martial law are afOat. To-
night the "cOncussion" theory of killing
the fever germ will be given a practical
test; the Wilson battery of five pieces of
artillery. will begin firing continuously
from O'clock for several hours.

The house this morning went into COM
mittee of the whole on the fortification an
preparation bill. The pending point Of
order against section :, providing for the
establishment of gun factory at Water
vllct arsenal was withdrawn by Mr.. Town
shend and renewed by Mr.. Turner OF
Kansas and overruled by the chair. Mr..
Nutting of New Hampshire offered an
amendment appropriating S5OO,OOO for the
erection of a dry dock and proper ma
chinery, buildings and appliances at some
point on Lake Ontaria for the building
and repairing of armed vessels. Mr.. Nnt-
ting said in case OF trouble with England
the greatest danger to the United States
would be on her northern frontier. At
Kingston, almost within cannon shot of
the shores of the United States, Canada, a
dependent of England, was building dry
dock for the construction of war vessels.
Mr.. ONeil of Pennsylvania called atten-
ton to the proposed purchase of railroads
in the United States by the Canadian Pa
citic Railroad company. He hoped that
when the senate bill amending the inter-
state commerce law comes before the
house he would be permitted to offer an
amendment which would in some measure
bring the Canadian Pacific railroad under
the provisions of the law so that our own
trunk lines might have equal rights and
privileges in carrying freight from the
Pacific to the Atlantic. After considerable
argument by different members the COM
mittee rose and reported the bill to the
house. The previous question was ordered
on its passage and then the bill went over
until tomorrow. The house then ad.

morning passed the senate bill for the re-
lief of certain parties who have paid $3.50
per acre for United States government
lands reduced in price to $1.25 per acre, by
an act of congress approved June Is, 1885.
The senate then proceeded to the considera-
tion of the fisheries treaty. Mr.. Morgan
resumed his argument in favor of the res
olution to postpone it till December next.
Mr.. Vest said his judgment had been that
ever since open sessions on the treaty had
been decreed that no treaty which could be
negotiated by Mr.. Cleveland's administra-
ton with the British government would be
ratified by the senate. Mr.. Allison pre-
sented conference report on the army
appropriation bill, which without change
was read and ordered to be printed in the
Record to be acted on tomorrow. Ad-

When Mr.. Blaine appeared in the corridor
Of the building great shout went up from

Mr.. Blaine said: "When President Cleve-
land delivered his message he had some
thing to say to the American people about
the danger of trusts. | shall not venture
to say they are altogether advantageous or
disadvantageous. They are largely private
affairs with which neither President Cleve-
land nor any private citizen has any right
to interfere. Trusts are not the outgrowth
Of nor in any way the incident of a protec-
ton policy as the president charges" He

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
The Senate.


WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Plumb
introduced bill to prohibit the erection of
bridges across navigable streams without
the consent of congress. Referred to the
committee on commerce. After some dis
cussion of minor details the senate resumed
consideration of the fisheries treaty in
open executive session and was addressed
by Mr.. Call in support of it's ratification.
At the close of Mr.. Call's speech the pre-
siding officer announced the question to be
on Mr.. Morgan's motion to postpone the
consideration of the treaty till December
next, and asked whether the senate was
ready for the question. Mr.. Hoar on that
motion called for the yeas and nays. MIR.
Gray asked why should not the considera-
ton OF the treaty be postponed to more
quiet season? Why should not
those influences (which come from
the sober second thought and
from the absence of extraneous influences
and excitements be invoked in the pending
treaty and come to the senate ear marked
with the justice and magnanimity which
should belong to great people? It sur
rendered nothing which belonged to the
United States, and it asked nothing which
proud and free people should not ask
from those with whom it was brought into
relations. AS to the taunt that the demo-
cratic senators were arguing the case of
Great Britain, Mr.. Gray said that no taunt
was SO irritating as that to a democrat
The senate then adjourned.
