A SLOW C0LLECToR.

The report of the Railway Com
missioner has been made, and it
charges tho Pacific railways with
cheating the Government odt OF
millions of money due it from the
railroads; with squandering money
on branch roads instead of paying
the interest ON its bond, and with
purposely falsifying the accounts to
prevent the Government from prop
erly investigating the affairs OF the
Company. 1t recommends pro-
ceedings against Stanford. Hunting
ton and Croker to recover the
amounts due.
I. looks as ii Uncle Sam was not
only bad at making q bargain, but
is so internally slow at making col
lections that he never collects at all.
Tho bills giving vast amounts Of
public lands to railroad corpora
lions to induce them to build rail-
roads vas an excellent idea, but
these bills we're go loosely drawn
that the roads had the best OF 1t
from the start. What the Govern
nent should have done was to have
made it's bargain in such shape that
the roads should have been COM
PEELED to settle up to January LIST OF
each year, or have the roads con-
Ascated. Now the roads have really
passed beyond the Government
control, and the time has gone by
90 long that as far as his rights are
concerned, or its prospects OF get
ting them, Uncle Sam hardly
knows whether he is afoot or on
horseback. An experience OF this
kind will doubtless teach the Gov
eminent in future to drive sharper
har0ains.

CHRISTMAS DOLLS.
Minneapolis Girls Fascinated by
the Work of Dressing Them.


The young ladies of Minneapolis, in
their charitable work, have some merry
times among themselves. One society
has been using all its spare time during
the past fortnight in dressing dolls. Of
course dolls can be bought so cheaply
that one is inclined to doubt if even the
poorest child need be without one; but
a doll dressed in calico is very differ
ent parsonage from one of the same
sort attired in gay costume of silk and
lace. This society of young ladies had
not much money at their disposal, so
they bought number OF cheap dolls
and then collected all the odd bits of
silk and lace and ribbon which their
friends would spare. 1t is a cOnS0ling
fact that it takes so little to dress a doll,
and they soon found themselves in pos
session of plenty of material. 1t was of
all colors and materials, which only
made the work more faScinat-
ing. One ambitious young lady
besieged Nicollet avenue merchant
with such persistence that he donated a
whole set of dolls paper patterns. The
members of the society worked at home
when they can spare few moments.
and two afternoons in the week all met
at the home of one OF the members.
In order to be more business like, it
was proposed to divide the work and
have each girl make portion of each
dolls outfit. That plan wouldn't work.
The girls who had the sleeves to make
would look longingIy at the skirts, and
the one who made the clOaks wanted to
make the dresses which went with
them. So, after awhile each girl Sc
lected her materials and dressed the
doll to suit her own fancy. 1t seemed
like living the days of childhood over
again, when a new bit of dolls attire
was a pleasure second TO no other.
When the work was finished
the asSemblage of dolls seemed
like miniature copy of modern ball
room. There were danes in brocade
and plush, cut Ell traine, and set off by
tinsel ornaments and dainty French
tissue flowers; then the young de-
butantes look coy and demure in their
dresses of white tulle and necklaces OF
pear beads. Others could be seen
wrapped in heavy cloaks and fieecy
hoods. which doubtless concealed some
CAV costume. The waiting maids were
there also, in their trim, white aprons
and caps. Some one had even dressed
in the black robes and white coiff OF a
Sister of Charity. 1t is needless to say
that she edged away from her gayer
companions, and stood at the outer
edge of the table, as if shocked at the

FLOUR Clay LADIES
Discuss Woman's Opportunity,
and Them Why. Dress.

The national convention of women,
which was held during the past year,
recommended that societies be formed
in every town and city to discuss ways
and means for the improvement of
women. Although Minneapolis women.
have no definite organization for this
purpose, yet many of her most liberal
and broad-minded women take much in
terest in any scheme which tends to the
advancement or improvement of their
sex. Their discussions often wander
over broad field, and they are prone to
advocate the ballot and dress reform as
the only things to be accomplished. A
thoughtful lady recently said during
one of these discussions: 81 think the
question of Woman'S dress is an i'm
portant one, and if we could get those
in humble circumstances to take an in
tereSt in the matter much of the needed
reform would be accomplished" An
audible smile went round at the thought
of seeing houSekeepers and working
girls adopt the expensive notions adyo-
Gated by Kate JeneSS Miller.
81 didn't mean dress reform in its
ultra phase" explained the first speaker,
'but one often wonders If those people
who wear such elaborate costumes, even
supposing that they can easily afford
them, have not some responsibility for
the example which they set for their
poorer sisters. The girl who works be-
hind the counter may firmly resolve not
to be eXtravagant, but some day she
sees some dainty gown, with all its
pretty and expensive accompaniment.
Her good resolutions are forgotten. She
neglects to buy warm underwear and
spends her wages in buying a cheap
imitation of the gown which looked so
pretty. Then Oh her holiday she tries
to comfort herself for her empty pocket
book and lack of warm underwear by
the thought that she looks as well or
nearly as well as her employers daugh-
ter"
The other ladies protested that it was
only foolish girls who spent their money
that way. But on looking about one
was forced to conclude that the foolish
girls were in the majority and the girl
who was willing to dress plainly and
thought it did not lessen her self-re-
spect was largely in the minority.
The first speaker still argued that
ladies who had ample means had as
much need of education and refinement
of taste as their poorer sisters, and that
they had moral responsibility as to
effect produced on ignorant minds by
their gorgeous attire. She held that
reform in taste was even more neceS-
sary than in regard to style.
But the assembled circles thought the
problem too knotty. it was rather per-
sonal question, in fact, so the talk
drifted to other topics and nobody re-
solved to set the good example.

Society has been as quiet as was eX-
pected for the week before Christmas.
People seem to have been so busy pre-
pairing to crowd the coming weeks with
pleasure, that no time was left for
amusement during this week. People
are all busy shopping or making dainty
trifes with which to surprise their
friends during the coming two weeks.
The personal columns show the old
custom OF spending the holidays at home
IS still hon0red. People who are per-
fectly contented during the balance OF
the year suddenly become homesick
and take vacation at home during the
holidays. SO there are many arrivals
and departures to chronicle.
i
During the coming week there will
be a number OF social reunions and
public balls. Nearly all of the clubs
have arranged for some sort of enter
tainment to be given during the week.
There are but few receptions or we'd
dings announced, as most people prefer
to spend the week in informal merry
making and visiting.

perhaps escaped the fate of many other

where. But now Messrs. Getz, Sum-
