MAKING OVER A MAN.

formulating done here" read a
sign over store. Within sat little
stubby man, with small gray eyes, full
red beard and an unctuous, fabby face.
Scattered around him on the bench on
which he sat and about the floor were
pieces of silk, satin and serge, bundles
of horse hair and packages of half
open cottnn. The little man was busily
stitching blue satin quilted article
that looked like a cushion of a baby
carriage.
Eyes, 1 am what .tailors term q
formulation" he replied to question
ing visitor, in thin, squeaky voice.
1.-The word is Indicative of my trade,
or rather profession. My occupation
is truly the latter, inasmuch as it is an
art, the art of improving, embellishing
or modifying the masculine figure, as
the case demands. Padding? Yes,
some might term it that. Didn't you
know that men pad, Ell? Why, bless
your soul, they have been doing it
since the days of Joseph"
The speaker separated thread with
a fnger-nail close to the garment.
Then he held the pad toward the light,
scrutinizing it critically, seized his
tape line and began measuring the
garment, referring constantly to a
small piece of paper with the meas
urements on it.

creature of dissatisfaction Nothing

contents him. He is essentially being
of observation. II he has friend who
is short and fat, while he himself is
tall and thin, he forms the idea that
he, too, would like to be stumpy and
adipose. A tailor can do little for him,
but we can. Liberal but discrimina-

and if his makeup is expertly perfected
it will give him the appearance of be-
ing considerably shorter than when in
his normal state. His friends will re-
mark how we'll he is looking, ask how
he has grown so fieshy, and the artful

THE NEGROES RIGHTS.
The Opposition Party's Shabby Treat
ment OF the Black Man.


ment OF the Black Man.
The black man has, under all polite
al conditions, been the faithful ally of
the Republican party; and he has been
constantly told that the Republicans
alone were his safe guides and true
political friends.
But what are the hard facts, plain to
the mind of every unbiased and in
telligent person?
In unctuous tones. with eyes rolled
upwards, the Republicans, from pulpit
and from stump, have preached to the
black man the saying doctrine of pol
itical equality. But what more have
they done beyond preaching? Absolute
ly nothing.
Was it in the power of the Republic
an party to help the black man?
With few notable and recent excep-
tons, the patronage of the State and
Nation have been at the command of
Republicans. and while the black voter
came faithfully to the polls on each
election day and did all in his power
to preserve and sustain the party, yet
in the division OF the honors and emol-
uments he has been entirely ignored.
The Republicans have not acted on
the square in dealing with their black
allies. For political bread they have
given political tracts, and nothing
more. But times have changed and
our black citizens have kept up with
the front rank in the political march
forwards. Four years ago they were
told that the success of the Democratic
party meant for them political ruin,
but the history of the Cleveland Ad-
minlstration proves that the expound-
ers OF political doctrine for thu Repub-
lican party did not tell the truth in
this matter. Without fear, faVoritism
or prejudice, but as matter of duty 20
the whole people of the United States,
all men have received their full rights
and even handed justice under the
Democratic rule OF President Cleveland.
Our law knows only citizens; there is

NEW YORK FASHIONS.
Liberty the Motto Inscribed by Fashion on
Her Banner of 'SS.

Her Banner of '88.
The parasols of the season are like
small tents, and although in many
cases made of tulle or lace draped
their huge size and ugly club handles
suggest the utilities rather than the
ornaments of dress.
Watered silk is still in high fashion,
and is much used for short round
skirts under draperies of summer silks
or sheer wool fabrics; and pale-tinted
moires are very fashionably employed
in the construction of Directoire
redingotes and elegant tea-gownS.
The semi-transparent India silks
have received an addition in the shape
of fabric with wide stripes of lace of
the same color as the silk. The effect
is very beautiful. These textiles are
used for polonaise or for bodice and
overdress over a skirt of like tint in
plain foulard or surah. Handsome
toilets are prepared this summer show
ing white silk skirts under diaphanous
polOnaises or overdresses and bodices
of the lace-striped India silk, in tints of
reseda, vieux-rose, strawberry or april
cot, over plain, demi-trained skirts of
MORE.
The fashions seem well-nigh estab-
lished for the summer. The wise
party of eclecticism has prevailed, and
in consequence there is exercise for all
tastes and an unlimited range both in
styles and fabrics. Liberty is the
motto which fashion has inscribed
upon her banner of '88.
In some of the exclusive" toilets
sent over from Paris for elegant even
ing wear this summer are some ex-
quisite creations in cream-white
camers hair. vailing, and silk-warp
Henrietta cloth, wherein stately and
intricate Grecian draperies, held by
silver clasps with borderings of silver
embroidery, are features OF these
classic gowns. This style of garniture,
either in gold or silver, is adopted to
the exclusion Of lace. flowers, or rib
bon trimmings, and the effect is very
unique and charming.
In fashionable summer tints, all the
golden shades in fawn and brown, and
many in green and yellow, are GER
tainly predominant. In pinks there
are but few shades, but those brought
out are in lovely dyes for evening wear
under lace, net, or transparent muslin.
Primrose, apricot and corn-yellow are
still much used as foundation slips
under diaphanous toilets. There are
also some rare shades of rosy mauve,
to be used in combination with black
or white lace. In grays are some ex-
quisite tints in dove, silver and creamy
pearl. In goods of faille, Irish poplin,
and in cashmere, camers hair and
Henrietta cloth in fine wooden goods
these all most attractive, while the
pastel shades in both grays, browns,
and olives come in cOlors capable of
producing the most artistic effects in
elegant carriage and visiting costumes
of corded silk combined with moire.-

John Wanamaker's brother has
been giving some "reminiscences of the
boyhood of the great Philadelphia
merchant. His first work was done in
the clothing store of Barclay Lippin-
colt, where he received a salary OF
$50 a week, all of which he gave to
his mother. His dinner. when he had
any, consisted of a piece of pie and a
glass of milk, costing two cents. Each
year his salary was increased, and at
the time he was twenty he had saved
500.

Last Sunday, the Goth day of Aug,
being the feast of the most pure heart
of Mary, celebrated in the Catholic
Church, was a joyful day for the men,
bers of st. Bridget's parish, of River
Falls, especially for the children. 1t
being the day appointed by Rev.
Father Connolly for the children to
receive their first holy communion.
The church was crowded with Catho.
lies and Professionals to its utmost
capacity. Many, not being able to OBJ
tain entrance to the church, assem-
bled on the outside to listen to
the able and impressive sermon
delivered by Rev. Father Connolly.
The Rev. Father delivered one
of the most instructive sermons on
the occasion ever delivered in St.
Bridget's Church. He spoke for near
ly an hour on the duty of parents,
first in regard to assisting the
priest by sending their children to be
instructed-tO prepare themselves for
the sacrament of the holy Eucharist,
and afterwards on the doctrine of the
Catholic Church in regard to this holy
sacrament and sacrifice. He explain
ed in plain terms the rights and COM
mission our Lord gave the Catholic
Church bishops and priests to cele-
brate and administer this holy sacra-
ment. He also spoke in an impress
i've manner to the children to be true
to their faith forever, and often re-
view what they had done on this oc-
casion, i. g. receiving the holy sacra.
ments often; not once or more times
and gradually neglect their duties
toward the church and God and fall
away from their holy faith. The
number of children receiving holy
communion was Is; being II girls aud
I boys. The congregation present
listened to the sermon with the strict
est attention, showing plainly the IN
terest all took in the eloquent ser
mon. Rev. Father Connolly has gained
many friends since he came TO River
Falls. both among Catholics and Prot
estants. He came here about Is mos.
ago and took charge of the congrega-
ton. it being formerly Mission at.
tended from Hudson, consisting OF
about IS families. Since he came
here the congregation, through his
announcement and assistance
has built a fine new parochial resi-
dence which is nearly completed and
has also furnished him with a limited
salary. although not what is allowed
by the statutes of the diocese, he does
not complain. The congregation
wishes that he may live many years
with them. a MEMBER.
