crease or represent the prohibition sentiment of
our people; but we most seriously fear, it would
by party antagonism greatly diminish the anti
license votes cast hitherto by the people regard
less of their party af1ilaton. The above is CIV
en- as the DIRECTORS "candid opinion" Over
against it we desire to set our candid opinion
judge we between them. Let it be distinctly un-
derstood that we not blind to the fact that the
organization Of a prohibition party will be de-
plored and resisted by many candid temperance
men, and that the result of this opposition may be
a temporary reverse. There possibly will be some
men whose loyalty to party is so strong that for
season they will cease to obey conscience and fight
the saloon; but the number of such persons will
be few; and the increased agitation consequent
upon the organization of such party will end in
greater enlightenment, intenser conviction and hos
tility to the saloon, and more efficient legislation
and more faithful enforcement of law. Men who
have come to hate and antagonize the rum traffic
are not to be switched aside or stayed in their eff
forts, even by the most ill-advised of movements.
They are not made of that kind of material. The
saloon is menace the people know it; and will
stamp it out whatever may stand in the way.
Meanwhile let the discussion 90 on, helping on to
the final triumph. BAKER.

Fashion Notes.
of Honor.

Draperes become less bouffant, and more nearly
straight as the season advances. Double skirts,
which are merely two straight founces covering
the foundation skirt all around are used for tall
figures that need to be apparently shortened, but
the single skirt full and round is much preferred
to all other styles for summer fabrics, and waist
goods. The fashion of dispensing with white
finish at the throat and wrists is adopted by many
ladies' The feather-edged ribbons, however, are
much used folded so as to display both edges
above the collar, with a small bow on one side or
at the front. Belted waists have tucked yoke,
and there tucks at the top of the full sleeves,
and on the long over skirt which shows only the
dounce on the skirt beneath; yokes pointed front
and back. The all-over embroderes are popular for
yokes, basks, sleeves and the front of the skirts
of swiss muslin dresses. Soft wide sashes of In
dia silk or China Grape are tied around the waist
in broad folds which give the short-waisted EN-
pire effect. Ruflles must be straight in wash
goods, and should never be hemmed by hand, as
the machine work is heater. One third over the
length required when finished is a good rule for
gathered rufies. Lace is best sewed on over
hand.

an improvised nut-pick or shoe and glove buttoner

The local government electors act which passed
both houses of Parliament and received the assent
of Queen Victoria, gives women the right to vote
in the election of county authorities in England
and Wales. The English Woman Suffrage Journal
calls this ''the greatest step forward which has
been made in our movement since the restoration
to women of their rights in municipal government
in 1869" Like municipal suffrage for women In
England, this county suffrage is limited to single
women and Widows but it is powerful, center

Three Ingenious Women.

There is family IN by street or Poughkeepsle,
the women of which are bending their energies to
a novel mode of earning livelihood. The father
of the house was government clerk for great
many years. His eyesight failed him finally, and
for long time past he has been unable to do more
than grope his way about in the sunshine, dimly
distinguishing shadow from day. With his misfor-
tune all means of subsistence were taken from the
family. They became very poor, so poor that
their neghbors racked their brains for devices to
assist them without offending their sensitive pride.
They lived in painful hand-to-mouth fashion on
the products of little garden and the scant wages
of plain sewing done by the mother who learned to
do dainty handwork in the days before the sewing
machine was. The two daughters were fairly well
educated one of them having studied in the pre-
paratory school of Vassar in the households better
days. The younger girl-she is twenty-five or
twenty-three, probably-had quite an artistic tai
ent, but she didn't find that painting menu cards,
etc, was exactly the way to pile up fortune.
The older daughter was the family dressmaker. 1t
was this combination of seamstress' skill with
knack at cutting and fitting, and an eye for colors
and shapes, that in the end improved the general
fortune. The three women folk, after much de-
liberation established themselves as firm of
uIletlc ueesmahlnS ueSlSuelo' lllS lnednS tnau
when a customer who wants to look as well as she
can look applies for gown, she is attended to
first from the artistic side. The younger girl has
a studio session. She looks at her, studies her
proportions considers the colors that she ought to
wear and the sorts of fabrics that would hang best
on such figure. Then, if the costume is to be
an expensive or elaborate one she sketches de-
sign for it and coors it in water or OIL This is
passed over to the elder sister, who proceeds to
embody it in cloth Or silk. When the gown has
been designed by one and cut and fitted by the
other, the two girls consgn it to their mother, who
is responsible for the making, the buttonholes and
the seams. The firm gets excellent prices for its
work. and its designs are in demand. 1t has lifted
the family from penury to comfort, and is secur-
ing to the members a pleasant independence.
Some of the pretty Vassar girls appreciate the
pretty gowns and are among the best customers.

Victoria, the present Queen Dowager of Prussia
and Empress of Germany, though young when
she became crown princess was still old enough to
have become firmly fixed in some of her English
ideas and prejudices, which she insisted upon
carrying out in her German home. Soon after her
establishment in Berlin, she was found by some of

Dr. Tanner Says Large Numbers of Psepl
Are Buried Alive.

Are Buried Alive.
CHIoAso Sept. l5.-Dr. II. s. Tanner,
who became famous about eight years ago
by fasting forty days, arrived in Chicago
Yesterday, from New Mexico.
He has been in Mexico for four years in
vestigsting the subject of suspended snima-
tion, or counterfeit death. he 10 convinced
that large numbers Of people are annually
buried alive; 20 subtle is the principle oi
life that no Que can undertake 10 say that
II is extinct until dccem position sets in.
The doctor is also pursuing another
branch OF semi-suspended animation, viz:
hibernation. He declares that bears and
other alternating animals do net use their
lungs during the alternating season, and he
is convinced that man can hibernate. He
refers 10 the long frances Of Hindoo adopts,
accomplished through their long seasons of
fasting, and declares IL to be his belief that
these frances are merely seasons Of hiberna-
ton. The Doctor says that be is study ing
with u view to making some experiments Ia
this line. and that the time NAV come VII q
he will permit himself TO be scaled in an
sir-tight coffin and laid away until such q
time as he shall designate for it to be
opened.
