The veteran dscerns the -Mds against
him and goes TO l4sa tr5 conscious OF the
possibility OF failure, but has determined
TO achieve success as though the odds
were for him. Mr.. Blaine's knowledge
OF political war informs him, and he SO
informed his hearers in Philadelphia,
that the second congress in the admins
tration of every president, from the
time of John Quincy Adams To that of
Abraham Lincoln, with one exception,
was i'm opposition to the policy of the
administration.
The republican party has become
aware-indeed, many conservative demo-
Gratis have become aware-of the eX-
ceptionally great danger which attends
a democratic majority in the next con-
gress The tariff is fixed fact. No
democratic majority in the next house
can repeal the new law. But a demo
cratic majority may be able 10 prevent
the country from enjoying that large
measure of prosperity which the new
purposes TO bring, and the beginning of
which it already has brought.
The democratic desire and intent TO
create commercial disaster is plain. For
weeks and months its press and speakers
have done all that i'm them lay 10 create
depression of trade. The columns of to-
days, yesterdays and to-morrow's dem
ocratic newspapers have been, are and
will be full of predictions and assertions
of hard times. And this in face Of the
testimony of all merchants that trade is
unusually brisk, the experience of all
purchasers that prices are unusually
low, and the testimony of the highest
commercial authority that money is so
unusually plentiful that the volume of
payments made during the month OF Oc-
tober, the first month Of the new tariff
law, has been greater than ever was
known in any month OF the existence of
the United States.
Mr.. Blaine reminds his hearers that
democratic ascendency i'm one house of

this. 1t can not repeal the new tariff,
but it may destroy confidence in its per-

capital toward American manufacturers
which already has set in with such force
As to make last months trade the great
est ever known in the United States. 1t
may check that increased manufacture
of American goods which is sure TO re-
suit in decreased prices. for the products

that demand for American labor, which
now is brisk, and daily is growing brisker.

There is an old lady musician in this
city who as a musical prodigy surpasses
everything else Of record. Her friends
have furnished her a room in one Of the
downtown blocks, and there she can be
seer and heard at all hours of the day.
1t is not known whether her friends are
lovers of music or not, but at any rate
she is never asked to play when visiting
them. They probably belong to that
class of people who never appreciate
home talent. The lady has four diligent
pupils. Her unoccupied time she spends
in practicing. She can teach the theory
of music well, but a play very little.
Two pieces are all that she has ever tried
to play. Her studies are now eoncen-
trated on the last measures Of Home,
Sweet Home and il she lives long

Tuesday evening about 8 o'clock the
neighbors of Mrs. Kate Lynchbar were
much alarmed TO hear a succession Of
shrieks issue from that lady's residence
and ran instantly to her assistance.
They met Mrs. Lynchbar, who is a
widow, as she rushed from the house
holding her hands to her head, but 1t wa
some time before she could calm herself
sufficiently to tell them what was the
matter. Her story was that having an
engagement TO go to church she had
gone into n spare room for her bonnet,
which. on coming home from morning
service, she had put temporarily on a
table in the room.
She picked up the bonnet, noticing
that it seemed unusually heavy, but put
it on her head, or tried to, for she was
prevented from doing SO by the presence
of some body in it too large to permit
her head to enter. Before she could
snatch 1t off, however, whatever 1t was
struck her on the head, she said, and
frightened out of her wits she tore off
the bonnet and what she declared she
knew by the feel Of its Shiny body to be
a snake. Though believing the lady was
mistaken in the thing that had been in
her bonnet her neighbors proceeded to
thoroughly search the room and finally
discovered a small puff adder behind a
dressing case.
The creature showed fight, but the
numbers being unequal it was at last
dispatched. There being on the island
no snakes of that kind, which is Ok
tremely venomous, the only explanation
of its presence is that it must have been
brought from Mexico in one of the fruit
schooners plying between there and this
place, and probably was concealed in a
bunch of bananas Mrs. Lynchbar had
that day purchased. Her hair prevent
ed the blow the snake gave her from in
ficting a wound, which in all likelihood
would have proved a serious matter

For dancing skirts are nj to just touch

point of the foot in front. For evening
parties the favorite materials are bright
taffetas, crepe, tulle and game; for af-
ternoon dances various fine wooden fab
RIGS are admissible. Simplicity rules su-
preme, especially In girls dresses, and
what trimming there may be is confined
to the hem and the bodice. Silk skirts
are plain in front and at the sides, with
empire flutes in the back, and a quilting
Mt the bottom made of three or four lay
ers of silk plated thickly. Transparent
tissues are gathered, though not closely,
and only tulle of tho lightest kind is used
double. Much of the gossamer is EN-
broidered with garlands of flowers,
Greek patterns Of ribbon running
through embroidered olive branches and
Louis XIV festoons caught up with true
lovers knots made of ribbon entwined
in scrolls OF flowers. Net skirts are
threaded with velvet ribbons or darned

The tailor made girl becomes more
masculine In attire every season. Just
now the fancy runs to a suit of rough
homespun or gray tweed, innocent of
trimming and depending for its charac-
teristic smartness on the cut and fit.
The bodice is made habit fashion, with a
little tail piece and a step collar showing
a dandy looking white Marseilles tie.

Is fitted to the figure with no fullness
or folds, either in front OIL at the sides,
but with a few plaits spreading out in
graceful, fanlike form at the back, Civ
ing spring to the short little tails of the
basque. The popularity of this tailor
made dress is due in u measure to its
e1clusiveness, for there is not a woman
outside of the tailoring profession who
can cut, fit and press a suit Of this kind.

around the head Of the bed. She imme-

in the same room, who responded gal

The burglar drew a pistol from his
pocket and cooked it, but before he
could use it the young ladies seized him
and gave him a thorough slugging, all
the time carrying him toward the win

The young ladies finally reached the
window with the midnight marauder,

WOMANS WORLD.
RICH GOWNS FOR THE TROUSsEAu
OF AN ARcHOUcHESS.

Matters Personal Concerning Women
Who Are Famous and Some Who Are
Not-Hints About Summer Dressing
and Housekeeping.
Much excitement of a sensational kind
has been reused in the breasts of the
fair sex of Vienna relative to the mag
nifcent and truly imperial trousseau got
up by the chief Austrian and Hungarian
firms for the approaching nuptials of
her imperial highness the Archduchess
Marie Valerie, youngest daughter Of the
emperor and empress of Austria. The
excitement reached its eliminating point
on the intelligence being echoed abroad
that the Vienna public would be admit
ted to a suite of apartments in the Hof-
burg (the imperial residence) to inspect
the trousseau on a certain day between
certain hours in the latter half of the
week.
The fact of so much magnihcence n
fnery about to be exposed to the vulgar
gaze was, in anticipation, regarded as a
rare treat which many a fair one would
willingly and ~heroically have sacrificed
not a little to behold. Five saloons In
the "Radetzky Apartments" of the Hof-
burg were set apart for the exhibition,
and the rich assortmentoof marvels OF
the toilet and of domestic economy gen.
orally were certainly set off to no mean
advantage, the display surpassing-and
that is saying a great deal-the most san
guine expectations of the severest lady
critics. Household linen was on view
in p~rofusion, while articles Of under
= - aNrla all
that possibly could be desired.
The wedding presents Of the imperial
parents and of the various members OF
the imperial family to the bride elect
consisted Of jewels Of great price, Of
serviceable and ornamental plate. Of
porcelain and glass, besides a quantity
of beautiful lace. The gowns and ZOOS
TUNES" of her imperial highness will not
be completed till just before the we'd
ding day, to the pronounced modification
of a large percentage of the would be
gazers, who in the absence Of the one
thing needful to complete the trousseau
category went so far as to resent the
omission as a personal affront. The
costliness and beauty Of the jewels and
precious stones went, however, a long
way toward appeasing the greed Of that
section of fair humanity who find re-
demption in silks and salvation in stuffs,
and whose weakness for parasols and
hats is chronic and incurable.
This is by no means the first time that
the jewellers and silversmiths of Vienna
and Buda-Pesth have won laurels at
shows of this kind, and on the present
occasion enough annot be said in praise
of the artistic ingenuity and the original
ity of conception characterizing the dia-
dems, the ''colliers," the bracelets and
the rings. Equal praise is due to the
manufacturers of the linen and the
makers of the lace, while some portions
of the needlework, embroidery, stitching
and the like, in the chnsteness of its de-
sign and finish, were, to use the words Of
n lady admirer in the crowd, ''irresisti-
