A DISPATCH from Rome says document

in which the Pope condemns the practice OF

Ma SMITH. the republican labor repre-
sentative in Congress from Wisconsin,, 10
speech to the anti. poverty society in New
York last Sunday, said There are only
three ways out of our present difficulties,
monarchy, revolution and State socialism
which means free land. We will join hands
and annihilate Well street and squeeze the
water out of all the stock in the country.
Aud yet most Of the land in the country is
owned by poor, hard working, and econom'
ical people, and the maintenance OF many
widows and orphane, and infirm people de-
ponds entirely upon the stability OF invest
ments that have been made 10 stocks for
their support. But Mr.. Smith doesn't want
his salary Of five thousand dollars or his large
mileage and stationery funds reduced in the
slightest degree. Nothing is risked in the
statement that if Mr.. Smith were the owner
of either land or stock he would prefer mon
archy to either revolution or socialism.

1T 10 understood that Mr.. Ooeriy' Tue
partisan republican chief of the civil service
commission under the democratic admins
,:ation, will be put at the head of the Indian
schools of the country. All good democrats
are as much outraged at this proposition as
at the retention of Mr.. Oberly in his pres
ent position. Mr.. Oberly and the other re-
publican member of the civil service com
mission have just made another partisan
ruling, to the effect that when there are two
eligible applicants for an office, one repnb-
lcan and the other democrat. it is against
the letter and spirit of the civil service law
fora democratic administration to choose the
latter. Mr.. Edgerton, the single democratic
member of the commission, oil course OPP
poses this ruling but as two beat one his
opposition amounts to nothing. Why the
control of the civil service Of the country
under democratic administration, should be
retaiue d in the hands of partisan republicans
i. one of the many things that the demo
Gratis, apparently, have little or no interest
in finding out.

ANOTHER BILL was passed in the U. s.
House of Representatives yesterday for CIV
ing q larger pension TO the widow of an OH
Ger than is allowed the widows of other
officers and of privates. Many democratic
and low tariff members voted for the bill,
Though that it is unequal. unjust and con-
trary to the spirit OF free institutions 10 Just
as we'll known to them go 10 every body
else, ard though they also know that If the
inequality be removed, the injustice be
righ:ed, and the spirit of tie country be
conformed to by putting ell widows entitled
to peusioos on the samo footing, as will
probably be attempted, the existing tariff
will not only have to bs maintained, but be
increased, in order to raise the requisite
amount Of revenue to meet the expense.
But knowing all this the democrats referred
to voted for the bill lest some republican in
the North might impugn their loyalty"

No MATTER what some or many people

WHITE SUMNER GOWNS.

Dresses That Are LovelIer Than Rcga.
Velvet or Stately BrOcade.
The linen laces remain popular for
durability and genuine quality. Fine
Hamburgs on India lawn and French
nainsook may be bought in patterns
which match in various widths, and
are exceedingly convenient for trim
ming muslin gowns for commencement
days or for summer afternoon wear. A
dress of sheer white muslin has been
too often eXtolled by poets and novel
lists to receive new praises. 1t still re-
mains the loveliest dress of a lovely
woman, far more beautiful than regal
velvet or stately brocade. 1t is mis-
take for our girls ever to adopt white
silk surah or sheer white woolens in
place. of the old-time muslin. The
plain, Directoire styles, full, plain
skirts, slightly draped at the back or
left to hang in full, plain breadths and
short, round waists, shirred full in
front, with Il tendency to full sleeves,
are the features of the white afternoon
gowns this season. Girdles or ribbon
coming from the under arm seams OF
the waist in cream white, pale blue,
primrose yellow or some fower-like
tint of color, are frequently a feature
of these gowns. A great many dresses
have been made up this season with
pyramids of pleating in front, panels
of embroidery at the sides and full,
straight breadths at the back, thus ex-
Guiding all drapery. Ribbons of gros-
grain in No. 12 and No. 16 width, with
plain, satin edge, are preferred for
garniture to white dresses over any
ribbon with feather edge or a ribbon
of moire, except in the narrow widths
in which MORE is use. Satin ribbons
are passe for this purpose Good

A Chronometer With a History.

Across the corridor from the rool
offices of Secretary Whitney is the COM
pass-testing room OF the Navy Depart
mont. ! strolled in there and saw two
very interesting curios. One was q
quaint, high-backcd chair which had
been used for years by Gideon Welles.
who was the Secretary of the Navy in
Lincoln's war Cabinet. ''Sit in it,"
said Lieutenant Denfeld, "and | will
show you the star attraction OF the
ROOM" He unlocked glass case and
carefully uncovered an ordinary-look-
ing ships chronOmeter. But its history
was not all ordinary. 1t had lain for
four years in an Arctic cairn without
receiving the faintest damage. II hal
been cached In the Arctic wilds In 1872
by members Of the ill-fated Polaris ex-
pedition, and In 1876 it was found there
by Her Majesty's ship Discovery. 1t
was taken to London In due course and
later returned to the Government OF the
United States. The report accompany
ing 1t states that the London testers
discovered that the chron0meter lost
but one-tenth OF second per day,
which was the loss statement In the
rate paper OF the American manufact-
urers. The officers of the British ship
state that while they were there the
mercury OF the thermometer was frozen
for forty-seven days, although on one
day the mercury marked 104 degrees
below freezing. This Is considered to
be the severest test ever borne by z
time-marking instrument. Washing
