administration of his ONCE is very clearly shown
IN his orders, rulings and decisions for the gov
eminent OF his CLERKS. II is fact which can
not be gainsaid, that as general thing the lib
eral rulings OF his Republican predecessors
have been largely restricted or entirely re-
versed In proof Of this the following examples
are given:
he has ruled that widows are entitled to pen
sion only from the date OF fling their claims,
and has overruled their appeal in repeated in
stances. although the law has been pressed
upon his attention Section 4.7s OF the Re-
vised Statutes provides that '.the widows pen
SION should commence at the date of the hus-
bands death .
An appropriation bill, passed March 3 1874
provides that pension claims flied after June So
1889. should commence only from date of fling
This was const ued to include widows pensions
although, as Senator Teller says, nobody
dreamed OF any such result" To correct this
mistake, on the sth Of August 1889, Congress re-
enacted section 47os, again providing that 1.-The
widows pension should commence from the
date Of the husbands death;" but General
Black has persistentiy refused to recognize this
law and has withheld part OF the pension
money honestly due thousands of poor widows.
To overcome this determined refusal to obey
the law, Congress has been compelled to put
into the pension appropriation &C. Just passed .

THAT is not change. Is has always
been believed by modern military men
| that the killing OF the enemy is less de-
sirable than wounding them. Now,
| there is but one thing to be attained
when e conflict occurs between two bod
les Of troops. You, on one hand,
are endesvoriDg 20 secure some
advantage by forcing your enemy
from ga important position,
While they, Of course, are equslly Gssir-
Gus CT lepelling you and securing your
place. The first and only way Of accom-
plishing this end is by demorslizing your
opponents and forcing them to retrest.
There are three means of demoraliZing
an srmy-frst, the cannonade, which
does comparatively little physical
damsge, but inspires in the besrrs OF
many OF an advancing or defensive force
feeling OF fear that often results IN
speedy psnlc aud retreat; thea comes d
wound, which has more CT & moral effect
than you might suppose. a wounded man
always waits and always gets g
great deel Of isympzthy from his
compadas. who, seeing his condition,
are very apt to be seized with sudden
desire to show generosity toward the
poor fellow, aud 10 help him to the rear.
4 wounded man often means three men
out OF the ranks, while dead mau counts
but for one. And 50, for this reason,
killing is put last III the list CT desirable
demorslizers, as it is considered 8 use
less bsrb8rity.
"The Chinese have the same theory, it
would seem, in regard TO warfsre. They
have an arrangement known by the iIele-
CANT but expressive name Of 'stinkpot.'
Il is q concentration OF cisbolism and
odor. The only use, of course, to which
it can be put 10 contest is
for demoralizing tie enemy. Tnere
are but few men Who csuid march
through the atmosphere crested by this ia
vention cf thu surprising brain Of the
0eathen Chinee. The cid Greek fee"
Wes partly Tor destruction and SIS mGch
for decentralization. The Rlman idea O
battle WAS purely ssnguiaaiy. Now, 70
come doTn to this new bullet. Tne
chances OF death from d wound reaultine
from il are considerably reduced,
owing 10 the fsct that Oh leaving the guu
its surface is comparatively smooth. The
lead is covered by thin sheet OF steel,
which readily takes the rifilng of the bore
and does not emerge with Jagged edges
which tear and irritate the wound eod
increase the liability Of death. The rit1irg
of the gun is also curious. Heretofore
it wss thought that rife of one turn
in fifteen inches wxs all that could
be safely secured. 1t was believed tnxt
anything sleeper would case choke.
Now lhlsSwiss gun is rlfi9d with one
turn in four inches, which is unparalleled
in the history Of making of smsll erms.

FASHIONABLE FRtY0LITIEs.

Pretty toques are made of ruby velvats
and cloth, trimmed with brown or gray
wings.
Among the prettiest designs in geld
brooches is q beautifully tinted maple
leaf, set with diamonds.
The tournure now appears merely IS 8
dress extender, minus the ounched-up
appearance Of past seasons.
MORE antique and MORE Franchise are
oftener chosen for trimming cloth cos
tunes than velvet or plush.
A new and popular design for scarf,
hair and bonnet pins is G. gold lnterroga-
ton mark, set with haIf-pesrls.
Bonnets of velvet and felt, having the
crown of velvet and the brim of felt. or
vice verss, are much admired.
The newest orange shade is called
"Orient," and is a rich, glowing tint,
which combines effectively with seal
brown.
Felt noil, which is merely unshsped felt,
is wrought with chenille cord Of silk, and
used for making some very stylish bon
nets.
Dancing Shoes are of bronze or black
kid, with high vsmp and ties, and orna-
mented with large square buckles of pol
ished steel.
MSoot MORE plush is decided novelty
Of unusual effect. II is used for bonnet
and hat trimmings, and also for making
elegant mantelets.
The isvorite colors for plain cloth
promenade toilets ere dark and light
mouse gray, dark biue-green, myrtle
green, copper red, claret end dark hello
trope.
NUTS made of the material CT the street
,stume are in high favor, and fur,Ipasse-
menterie, ribbon, lace and other fashion
able trimmings are used to decorate
them
rnet-shaped pendants are used In
profusion to trim the sleeves, hoods and
girdIes Of dressy msntels. Great tn
genuity is displayed in making these very
effective trimmings.
Owing to the popularity OF MORE an
tique, designers are constantly Gevising
new patterns of watering. None OF them,
however, are so rich in effect as the orig
inal design.
AS the season advances the skirts OF
dresses sre less punched at the back than
heretofore, and are laid In wider plahs.
Steels are now limited 80 two, and these
are placed in the lower half of the founda-
ton skirt.
Bonnets composed entirely of ostrich
feathers are new, snd very soft and pleas
ing in effect. the crown and brim are
often covered with feathers of contrasting
colors. and loops of ribbon and ribbon
strings are the only trimmings.
Striped MORE and satin, the satin
stripes embroidered in gold and silver, is
one of the rich materials recently i'm
ported for evening dresses. Another
effective material has alternate stripes OF
faille, brocaded with single flowers in
garIands, and MORE antique, in strongly
contrasting colors.
Among the new fans one noticeable for
its originality was Of satin ,.oDe bali ligat,
with painted design. the other black

STATE OF TRADE,
The New Year Opens with Some ksac-
ton In Most Markets-The Past
Broken Week.
Fewer Failures Than Ansicipated-Fa.r
Business for the Season at all Points
That Have Reported.

NEW YORK, Jan. 6.-R. G. Dun & Co.,
in their Weekly Trade Review says: The
past broken week has not been one of
great activity, and the year opens with
some reaction in most markets. The
Reading strike hes become more serious
than expected. The miners committee
claims 90, 900 miners aud $4,000 railroad
men are out, and though the statement is
plainly exaggerated as TO railroad
aands, the suspension Of mining
appears nearly complete in the Reading
as in the Lehigh regions. In spite Of
DEFENDERS large output stocks st the
tide are low, and the stoppage Of the
supply of coal threatens to close some
manufacturing works. 4 bad break in
the copper stocks occurred abroad, with
quick reac.ion, followed by heavy
failure and panic at Paris. Oil mounted
to 81 Wednesday, broke suddenly to
921, and has since risen again. PORK
and lard declined little; cotton Lie;
coffee demoralized, with no spot quots-
tons and loss Of nearly l cent in op-
tions.
Breadstuf5 have been weaker, though
corn is still d fraction above last weeks
prices.
Stocks have not advanced. Increased
demand for good bonds appears but q
shade higher.
The market has been weakened by Yves.
teri !wersIon rates which spread and grow
more blttef, and by the strike OF the coal
miners.
The year opens with fewer failures
than anticipated and with fair business
for the season at all points reporting.
The money market is generally easier,
Next to the iron industry, which hesitates,
the WOODEN manufacturers have the most
uncertainty. RAW material declined
about cent in December and 2 TO cents
since July, though coarse wool yields least
and the largest decline hiss been in foe
fleece. Estimates OF the clip ,vary widely.
Cotton manufactures are exceptionally
prosperous. The window glass business
is prosperous, with an advance of 80 per
cent. in prices last year. Foreign trade
continues large.
But for the miners strike and threats
OF the common spiDners, the outlook
would be more favorable than for many
weeks past.
Business failures Of the last seven days
number, for the Uoited States, 256; for
Canada, %; totsj, 279; compared with
263 last week, and 2s9 for the correspond
