The farmers OF the country have
nothing TO be thankful to the Repub-
lican party for. Ever since the war
the legislation of this country has been
directed by the manufacturing classes
and the wealth of the nation. The
present tariff system benefits the man
ulacturer and loads down the farmer
with enormous taxes, and the Nc
kinley bill will make the burden much
greater.

monizing or pretty contrasting color,

manner of pinking in this day. The neck
is square cut both back and front, but not
in the ultra decollete; sleeves half length and
bell-shaped. The trimming may have been
fringe or lace, as only 'ew threads remain
as evidence of trimming having been en-
ployed at all. Another was a brocaded
material resembling fine quality of raw
silk figures of old pink, white and yellow
thrown in pretty disarray over green sur
face, the stvle similar to that of the yellow
gown, having the princess effect in the
back, while the front is like a modern

sALLIE H0LLEYs LIFE WORK.

A elf-sncrihcing Woman Who Has Done
Much to Educate CoIored Girls.
New York World
Miss Sallie Holley, who founded the
Lottsburg schools for the colored girls OF
Virginia. is not a Virginian, but native Of
New York, and talented and kindly
woman, who has devoted herself heart and
soul to the cause OF her sex's moral and
material advancement. Her whole life has
been series of self-sacrifces, and though so
years of age she has all the enthusiasm and
earnestness of youth and q task that few
men would attempt.
In her management of the Lottsburg
schools she has nothing but the raw ma
terial. 1t is enough FOR her to see the throng
OF ignorant and hapless young girls, the
knowledge OF their condition Inspiring her
with the zeal and energy necessary to pro-
cure funds for carrying on the work. She
writes letters by the gross to private fami-
lies, public people and men and women
who are succeeding in Ii e. Her last appeal
is made to the club women OF the Union,
and with their aid she hopes to realize the
dream of her life-an industrial school
where the colored girl and woman can learn
to read and write, and at the same time be-
come proficient in some branch of industry,
by means of which she can earn an honest
livelihood.
This noble-hearted woman is descend
ant of the royal astronomer, Edmund
HALEY, and the daughter of Myron HALEY,
who was a native Of S ilisbury Conn.,, but
died citizen of Rochester, N. Y. Mr..
Holley was among the projectors OF the Erie
canal, and served as Canal Commissioner
rntil the noble enterprise reached success
ful issue. The name HALEY was changed to
Hollev after the emigration of his ancestors
from England, who settled first at STRAIT
ford and then at STAN ord, Conn. Miss
Holley's father was graduate of Williams
College in 1899. her uncle Horace Of Yale
in 1903, and her uncle Orvills of Harvard
at later period. Thus it is seen that an
interest in education belongs to her family.
Miss Sallie Holley herself has long been
known as lecturer on re orms Especially
in anti-slavery days., and has been teaching
in Charlottesburg, Va, ever since the war.
Her faithful labors among the freedmen
are but fitting conclusion to her Aboli-
ZIONIST efforts in earlier years. Miss Holley
is an honorary member OF Sorosis. She has
for years been assisted in her school by Miss
Caroline Putnam.

PHGBE CARYs NECKLACE.
A Collection of Trinkefs. Each One Of Which
Represented a Friend.

A Collection of Thinkers, Each One of Which
Represented Friend.
New York Press.l~
The late Phoebe Cary, the poetess, who,
with her sister Alice, may be said to have
instituted the first liter4fY salon in New
York, had quaint conceit of forming a
necklace of objects of all colors and sizes,
some valuable and some not, which should
be contributed by her friends. She was
given all sorts of stones and trinksts, some
OF them having double meaning, and cele-
brating some peculiarly, or indicating the
personality of the donor.
For instance Mr.. Barnum's gift to her was
the fin OF fish in the shape of Jewel, which
he facetiously told Miss Cary stood for his
,name-Phineas. Among the other con-
tributors to this wonderful necklace besides
Mr.. Barnum were Horace Greeley, Oliver
johnson, Miss Mary L. Booth, Junius H.
Browne, Albert D. Richardson, Frank B.
Carpenter, Mrs. Mary Clemmer Ames, Rob-
ert Dale Owen, James c. Derby, Mrs. II.
Louise Thomas, John Russell Young, Alvin
j. johnson, Whitelaw Reid and Robert
Bonner.
Miss Cary did not hesitate to levy con-
tributions upon all her intimate associates,
and simple little memento was accepted as
graciously as the most elaborate ornament,
her declared object being to own something
which represented to her the personality of
these friends. She never failed to wear the
necklace on each of her Sunday evening re.
ceptions.
Phoebe Cary's necklace is not as cele-
brated as one which belonged to a certain
royal lady century ago, but If the de-
scription of each of those little souvenirs
carelessly strung on its thread OF silk could
be given, with history of their celebrated
donors, and their reunions at the homes of
the two brilliant sister poetesses, it might
prove as interesting if not as thrilling as
that about Q ueen Marie Antoinette's.
