Pernictous Political Activity.


Special to the Indianapolis Jnurnas.
WASHINGTON. JAN 25-It is understood that
the attention of the President has been called
to the fact that the postmaster at Muncy, Pa,
did not only take an active part in setting up
tho pins to defeat the Randall element in the re-
cent Pennsylvania contest, but that he came
back to Washington and Dragged about his
action. Further than this, the President knows
that the Muncy postmaster influential in
securing the presence of nineteen other federal
Office holders in Pennsylvania at Harrisburg
last week. The fact thai this action of the gen.
tleman from Mufcy is in direct opposition to
the expressed position of the President in his
celebrated dissertations upon the interference
by federal officials in politics has not led the
chief magistrate yet to demand the resignation
of the Muncv postmaster. On the contrary. he
seems TO look upon this action q matter for
some commendation. Randall was defeated by
Scott. Scott is a warm personal friend of the
President. who is in hearty sympathy with the
chief magistrate on tie subject Of tariff reform.
For this reason it is not likely that any cogni-
zance will be taken by the President OF this
direct violation of his expressed orders to the
officials the federal employ.

An important fact 90 be remembered

Is that the professional photographer

Many Of the advances Ia photography
have resulted from the seeming blum
ders of amateurs.
To those who. NJ college or at home.
are engaged in scientific studies. the
camera will afford means of inter
esting experiment. The camera has
been one Of the greatest teachers Of
this century. IL has, for instance,
taught Mcissonier. the great French
painter, that the horses in his "lSO7"
are not galloping as horses actually
do gallop. II has taught the scientist
who photographed dying bullet that

ways il has been confirming or up

PINK frocks are very fashionable.
White dresses and black ones never
go out Of fashion.
The revival OF lace has been made
especially evident In the bridal dresses
Of the month.
Fashionable handkerchief are al
together TO small to be of any use or
service To women.
Apropos of the current styles. IL Is
very safe to say that anything becom-
ing is now fashionable.
Soft cloth hats. with sloping crowns
and rolled brims, are worn with eques-
TRAN costumes In the country.
White silks of light quality, such as
India silk and China Grape, are proper
wear for guests at day weddings.
Some OF the fine iil-a-iil tinted lawns
and batistes are sprinkled all over
with white, printed or embroidered
dots.
The opalescent standings produced
by the shot effects in silked stuffs this
season are rarely artistic and fascin-
ating.
French dressmakers are mounting
lace fiounces over tulle or plain net
which gives the figure of the lace full
relief.
Black lace, jet fringes and agraffes,
and some strips of velvet compose
most of the dressy short mantles of
shoulder capes Of the season.
Big hats grow bigger and sitter,
but the stringless little capotes that
are more worn than hats, even by
girls in their teens, are charming.
The green cloth jackets now SO
fashionable are rather trying TO the
average girl, for some one has said
only real beauty can wear green.
A seaside hat for maidens is a good
imitation in straw of Buffalo Bills

miscellaneous collection of fancy
things at the back.

Cornelius and William X. Vanderbilt
have decided 90 commence rather
curious business enterprise, which in
It's workings is expected To be benevo-

appearance OF charity about IL. They
have been considering the plan. which
was suggested by Erastus Wiman, for
q long time. They propose 20 build a
large number of small houses ia the
suburbs III New York city. with every
comfort and convenience. and sell
them Ia working people ~ cost The
purchaser will be insured against the
loss OF the property. il I've meets with
some misfortune before the whole
amount is paid up. The houses will
be sold on the instalment plan, In
monthly OF yearly payments, which
will not amount to more than fair
rental. The life Of the purchaser will
be insured To the extent Of the unpaid
amount Of the purchase price. The
policy will be- held as mortgage. and
IL the purchaser dies. the amount Of
the policy pays off what Is owing on
the house. which Is then clear for the
heirs. The scheme is novel one. aud
the Nandcrbilts will make an expert
ment shortly by erecting fifty houses
ON Staten Island. and charging only a
fair price for the property. which will
be sold only To working people. DEM

Animals get rid Of their parasites
BY using dust, mud, clay, etc.
Those suffering from fever restrict
their diet, keep quiet. seek dark, airy
places, drink water, and sometimes
plunge into IL. When dog has lost

grass, known as dogs grass, which acts
as an emetic and purgative. Cats
also eat grass. Sheep and cows when
