Hemstitcbing is a favorite finish, not only
on table linen, but for sheets, pillow casee
and the finer towellIDgs, and to this orna-
snentation fringe is added in case of
lunch cloths and napkins which are still
shown in delicate shades of pink, blue OF

lar hemstitch, not only as border, but ar
ranged in patterns, while more striking
scaTfs are hand embroidered on white or
cream colored linen. The custom of din
ners in la RaSse, which still prevails on
acrimonious occasions, is extremely con-
venient for the host and hostess, since all
trouble of carving or helping is avoided;
leaving them free for the table talk that

though for a change, blue or yellow dinners
are given, yet pink remains the favorite
color and deservedly SO. Menu cards are
used, but except to carry out some special

Simplicity prevails and except in size and
occasionally gilt edge, they are plain as

PIttsbufg Associations Reorganizs on Ae-
count az The Improvod Conditions,
PITT ,BrR0. Aug. I2.-There Is an In
dication that the two steel associations
which were dissolved during the
troublous conditions Of the metal trade
last November. will be reorganized and
make another effort to advance prices.
The associations were the Bessemer
Steel association and the Merchants
Steel association. The former included
manufacturers Of heavy blooms and
slabs, while the latter numbered most Of
the finished steel manufacturers. Both
organizations formerly held monthly
meetings and upheld card rates in tile
western market, but during the demon
alizat1on of trade last winter the menu
bers began to make individual cuts in
the special lists and finally the manufac-
turers gave up all endeavors TO uphold
the market and the associations dis
solved.
Now conditions are changing and
there exists general desire among the
Pittsburg manufacturers to secure q
card rate and stick to it. They state
that there is a general upward tendency
in the metal market, but that manufac-
turers can only reap the benefit of the
new condition by mutual agreement. A
meeting of the Bessemer Steel associa-
ton has been called to meet in New
York on September 10, and in the same
month the Merchants Steel association
will meet in pittsburg.

roll of paper. weighing more than 200
pounds, loosened itself from the load on

curb and threatened to knock the boy
into the shaft. William Hendrickson,
the driver of the truck, seeing there was
no time to get the boy out of the way
stretched out his right leg and caught
the roll on his ankle. He stopped it and
broke his leg. He was taken to the
Chambers street hospital, and went in
cab to his home at $50 Fifteenth street,
South Brooklyn. He sustained what is
known as Potts fracture, and is likely

GROWERS ADMINISTRATION,
characterized by Sub0rdination of Every
thing Selfish in Order that the COun-
try Might be Benefited.

BALTIMORE, MD. Feb. 1.-THE Sun
will tomorrow publish a review of Presi-
dent Cleveland s administration obtained
from a series of interviews with members
of his cabinet. So perfect has been the
harmony between the president and
members of his cabinet that the absence
of friction has given rise to the impress
SION among some of those who
are familiar with Mr.. Cleveland s
positiveness of character, and his firm
and decided views upon every subject he
has studied, that his rugged personality
has dwarfed various members Of his
official family ana reduced them to con-
dition of mere agents of his individual
will and pleasure. The true secret of
the absence of jealousies, and discussions,
and of efforts to advance mere individ-
ual interests or pretensiOns among cabinet
officers, is to be found in the fact that one
and all have been animated by a spirit
which has dominated Mr.. Cleveland IS
course, that of subOrdinating personal
considerations to a desire to give the cOun-
try an administration of the highest grade.
4 prominent leader of the Democratic
party and warm admirer of Mr.. Cleve-
land, said to the writer to-day: ''It has
been Sllu IildJ In6I6 HAS D6tu no party
leadership under the present administra-
ton, but leaving out of account the bold
and aggressive course of Mr. Cleveland
with reference to the tariff, it must be
conceded, in view of the sudden sOlidifi-
cation of widely divergent elements as
demonstrated in the denomination of Mr.
Cleveland by reclamation and almost
unanimous passing of the Mills bill
IN the face of the open revolt of the Ran
dali faction, discomfort evidenced by
civil service policy and the disappoint-
ment of thousands of officeseekers, that
there was leadership somewhere with
the record of administrative capacity and
honesty, to which it may point
with pride, Democracy may at
the close of Mr.. Cleveland s
tenure of office find itself
a representative before the people of adj
ministrative economic, of determined
opposition to sectionalism and encroach-
ment on autonomy OF individual states
and of discrimination in favor of any
race or class at expense of the people as
whole, or declared and recognized the
champion of the working masses as
against the steady march Of corporate
and monopolistic greed.

The people of Fort Worth are alive to
the necessity of making the Texas Spring
Palace a success, and there is no one
subject discussed on the streets, at the
hotels and in the homes of Fort Worth as
much as the Spring Palace project. The
ladies met at the Commercial club rooms
yesterday and laid out plans which will
eventuate to the glory of Fort Worth.
The Como social club proposes to
provide entertainment at the Pal
ace one or more nights by giving q
grand carnival which shall eclipse any
thing of the kind ever attempted in Fort
Worth. 1t is also suggested that some
grand oratorio be Tehearsed by the sing
the Palace during June, this in order to
show the visitors from the North and
East that Texas loves music and has mus
zeal talent.
A suggestion is also offered that a
grand pageant take place on one night,
and that moving tableaux presenting
scenes from Texas history and of Texas
industry be shown.
The managers of the Fort Worth base
ball club are about to make a proposition
to send the nine through the North play
