The disastrous fire at Seattle has been 81

lively little attention. Yet it involved
the almost total destruction of the largest
city in Washington Territory and the second
city in size in the extreme northwest. When
1t is remembered that Seattle has been set
tied but few years it is difficult to believe
the estimates of the loss. Yet there is good
reason to think that they have not been
exaggerated. Seattle has grown with won
derful rapidity, as have also The Territory
and county in which it is located. For the
ten years following 1878 the taxable property
of the Territory has Increased more than
fourfold and in a single year the taxable

stone and brick will undoubtedly take the
place Of the infamable material for it is not
possible that the most obvious lesson of last
weeks disaster will pass nnheeded.
A careful, though confessedly not strictly
accurate estimate of the loss of property by
the Pennsylvania flood was made in Brad
streets of last Saturdays date. The esti-
mates are probably the nearest attainable at
present. The losses, as will be seen, are dis
tributed over wide area of country, the
broken dam in the Conemaugh Valley being
only the most horrible result of widespread
and destructive storm: At Johnstown and
other points throughout the Conemaugh Val

region, and the loss Of the Cambria Iron &
Steel Company, $30,0OO0OO; losses TO other
railway companies Qn four States) $780,

Some of the bedraggled Democrats Of the
Randall stripe wantthe party in 1892 to adopt
the revenue plank Of the platform of 1884,
which was as follows
The Democratic party Is pledged TO revise the
tariff in spirit of fairness to all interests But
in making reduction in taxes, 1t Is not proposed
10 injure any domestic industries, but rather TO
promote their healthy growth. /
The Mills crowd treated this plank as if
the last words had been written:
1t is not proposed to njure any Democratic indus
tries, but rather promote their healthy growth.

SRe Fashions.

Jabots, fchus, cravats and callar-
cites are legion.
Shot velvets prevail. Robe dresses
are fanciful. E#JlH8t
Black will be in demand for street
wear during fall and winter.
Dark blue is the favorite color for
the pet four-in-hand cloth cape.
Frluges and pinked out ruchings
are mostly used on morning dresses.
India cashmeres in plain colors and
as fine as satin are in high favor.
Rich passementeries and fringes
trim the rich black mantles in vogue.
A new material in dark color, re-
lieyed by bright designs, is called
"Sanghei." ~ l1&
- Tiny colored silk mouchoirs are the
swell thing in handkerchiefs, both for
the neck and the pocket.
Guipure and Irish crochet laces are
adapted IN many interesting ways to
the purpose of dress trimming.
Evening dresses, made of rich
corded silk, are elegantly trimmed
with gold embroidery and sparkling
beetles wings.
Low necks are more or less filled in
with lace, or loosely turned back and
sometimes terminating in a jabot
down the front.
Embroidered or interviewer gal
looms trim the cute little Figaro jack
cts which have come so bravely to the
front and held their own.
Dark mahogany, wood blown, YER
d!gris, sapphire, tan and tobacco
shades, bitumen and prune are the
most prominent autumn colors. ;
The triple cape rivals the jacket at
present, and it is vastly more conye-
nient as it is so easily put on, and
may be worn over a redingote.
Little girls are dressed as simply
as possible. A pretty fashion is to
have gloves and stockings match the
child's hair as nearly as possible.
Moss green and sulphur are COM
bined, as are also dead pink and straw
color, ash gray and white, mauve and
pale blue and pearl and mauve.
Robes of sea green gold brocade
with pieces of mother Of pearl set
into the trimming of gold embroidery
are respondent opponents of modistic
skill.
Draping is a matter of material.
Thick silks which hang in folds sufli-
cient of themselves to alternate light
and shade are hung full and straight.
Sulphur white is a favorite shade
just now; and much affected by
young ladies for flannel dresses for
suburban or country wear on bright
days this fall.
Tailor made dresses of gray are in
high favor. 1t is good, solid gray
not easily soiled by wear, which fact
makes the dresses extremely service
able.
Jacket bodices of dark velvet are
worn with plaid skirts, their color
corresponding to one of the dominant

Increase of Insects.

NOxioUs insects are moro numerous and do
structive now than they were fifty years ago.
Whore nature has chance to work out her
laws, AL animals, from the highest to the
lorcat. DO not increase beyond proper limita
Even man himself IS no exception to tins
great law; but let a break occur in this great
natural chain and it is felt all along tho line
Some species will increase enormously, whilo
others almost entirely disappear. Now, as
insects arc far more numerous than all tho
higher animals, it follows that if some un-
foreseen event takes place that favors a great
increase of some noxious species, man is sure
to be a great sufferer. And this state Of
things is exactly what is taking place today
The reader will naturally inquire why the
beneficial ones do not increase as fast as the
destructive ones. Tho answer is, the food
plant Of the latter has increased enormously,
and all the surroundings have favored its
rapid increase, while the other, living upon
animal dmago) food, is entirely outstripped
by the vegetable eating species.-New York

and which can best come through the
medium Of new constitution, than
the CHRoNIcLE. For ten years we
have hoped for it, and thought that
the vote Of 1887 was sufficient to call
convention to frame il; but those who
are personally interested in the con
tinuance of the old regime have the
legal room to thwart the will of the
people, should the attempt be made
to call the convention without az
other election. The only course for
the present Legislature 10 pursue in
justice to itself. and for the best inter-
ests Of the people, is, to call a new
election, and in every word aud act
conform to tile old constition.

Art and Advertisement.

When the artist discovered that there was

be obtained by cultivating notoriety in type,
he said to himself: Nineteen men out Of
twenty are fools have no use for the
twentieth man. The nineteen help themselves
to brains out of the newspapers, which arc
served fresh every morning. They shall serve
me interleaved with the newspapers. Ad-
vertisement is fame; advertisement is for
tune The best advertisement is on the edi-
torial page; instead of paying dollar line,
let me capture the critic, for his name is
'Boom.'n This state Of affairs has demoral-
lied the branch Of art with which am hum
bly, connected, and am informed that it has
in a similar manner demoralized other
branches Of art, in which even great men as
pire to succeed by and through press notices
rather than by public appreciation and favor;

tain such public appreciation by favor Of the
