MY friend, Browning. The pictures
are just finished. Here is an extra one.

Benton took it from the case.
The idea seemed quite romantic, and
rather fastened itself to her. In the
end she accepted it and started on q
shopping tour preparatory to short
Western journey.
Soon after Isabel had gone a boy
brought in the remainder of her picr.
ures, and Mr.. Benton stood looking a,
the perfect features, lost in adm iration.
There were four of them, and he was
seriously thinking of retaining the ex.
ira one.
Isabel Elton is certainly a most
lovely girl he was saying. in con-
6dential way, when the door opened
and gentleman entered.
"Well, Benton, thought I'd drop in to
say that I'm going to-day"
"Ah! Will, glad to see you, old boy
said Benton, cordially grasping his
hand. You're not going so soon?'
This very evening. Why, what's
this, old fellow, that find you incoming

Jove! but she's pretty. You might give

Mr.. Benton fairly gasped at the idea.
''You know I'll never show it," per

Mr.. Benton showed slight signs of re-

less horri6ed-and Will was all the
more importunate, until at last the
picture was securely tucked in WILLIS
pocket, and Benton, though glad tt
crafty his friend, and personally sorry
to part with the picture, felt some mis-

The friends parted, Benton to con

How often he looked at the picture in

Charming Gowns for Late Summer.

Printed mousseline delaines are
dressy, cooler even than alpaca, and
also very much worn Many women
prefer them to foulards, which soon
lose their dressing and look limp and
worn. The blue and white and green
and white foulards have also lost caste,
from being greatly reduced in price
and becoming quite a livery at the
various resorts. The delaines are al
most invariably ribbon trimmed, and
show some exceedingly delicate and
beautiful colorings and designs The
favorite patterns are detached lunches
of flowers or sprays. The very large
struggling devices which were popular
last year are not much affected this sea-

Congressman Wilcox Makes Predictions
for This Falls Campaign.

HARTFORD, Conn.,, Sept. l6.-The five hun

convention nearly filed the lower floor Of Allyn
Hall State Committee Chairman Clinton b
Davis called the convention to order at 1120
am. Secretary swartwout read the call The
chairman called Congressman W. F. Wilcox to
act as temporary chairman. Mr.. Wilcox on
being introduced said he was glad
to re called to preside over the con-
ventIon Of party to which he was
proud to belong. Six years ago this party
selected as its candidate for President one OF
the purest and ablest men that ever occupied
the White House-Grover Cleveland. This
mention Of Mr.. Cleveland's name called forth
great applause. The speaker continued to
speak in eulogistic terms Of the ex-
President and was frequently inter-
rupted by applause. which was particularly
vigorous when his tariff policy was referred to-
Though defeated, he said. he is not dishonored,
and the people look to him as their champion
and leader. Further on in his speech Mr..
Wilcox said no ono. but President Harrison
could have made the Hayes administration
respactable. He closed by predicting demo-
cratic success in Connecticut this fall.

GENERAL GRANTS REMAINS.
Prospects Of the Passage OF the Reso.
luton for Their Removal Discussed.

The Plumb resolution providing for the re-
moval Of the remains of Gen. Grant from
Riverside to Arlington has not as yet had a
chance in the House. Yesterday was sus-
pension day, and MIR. O'Neill was prayer
fully waiting an opportunity to call the
resolution up. Mr.. Enloes resolution,
however, occupied too much time and the op-
portunity never came. This will probably be
the last regular suspension day Of the session.
On account Of impossibility Of securing unan-
imcus consent for the consideration of
the resolution a suspension day is
a necessity for its adoption. Friends of the
resolution, however are not worrying about
the suspension days running out, as the last
few days OF a session are invariably given up
to suspension days, and Mr.. 0'Neill will un-
doubtedly have an opportunity for the resolu-
ton before the close of the session.
The chief and main opponent of the resoiu-
ton is Mr.. Quinn of New York. Mr.. Quinn is
an excellent friend of the District and il
is not because he loves the District less
but that he loves New York more, that he
has been straining every nerve for the defeat
of the proposed removal. He said to STAR
reporter today that he was almost sleeping in
the House in order to prevent the calling up of
the resolution.

Senator Farwell Criticizes the Status
Of the Money Market.

CHICAGO, Sept Ex-senator C. B. Farwell Of
this city writes the following letter to the
Inter- Oedn from Waukesha, Wis: II see q
good deal said in the papers about the tight
ness in the money market and that Secretary
Window has been called upon to relieve it.
The finances of the country can mover be in
a healthy condition when it il required
that the Secretary Of the Treasury shall be
asked to step in and relieve a stringency which
periodically occurs. No one man should have
it in his power to make money either cheap
or dear. The government Is collecting
more money than it spends, 90 that,
according to the last Treasury state
meut. there is now locked up the various
subtreasuries of the country ST. 00, 600 over
and above the liabilities Of the government
The total amount held in the various sub
treasures is something over S700, 000, 900, and
the government holds as security for this vast
sum Of money the bonds OF the respective sub
treasurers signed by their friends for about
one fortieth of this amount Now, II these
subtreasuries could be wholly abolished and
money deposited in the national banks. with
adequate security taken for the whole
amount, instead of one-fortieth. which is
given by those who now hold this
money, Mr.. Window would not be
required to 60 into Wall street to regulate the
finances. The money would be safer than il
now is. and $780, 900 of money per annum
would be saved by the abolition OF this system.
There never war any good reason for the es-
Enlistment of the su0treasury system, and IL
ought to be forthwith repealed"

NEW YORK'S VOICE.
The Chamber Of Commerce Urges
POstponemaut Of the Bonded Limit.

New YORK, Sept. 16.-At a special meeting
Of the chamber Of commerce, held this after
noon, the following preamble and resolution,
offered by J. Edward Simons and seconded by
Cornelius n Bliss. were adopted
Whereas, it is provided in or by the so-called
Mckinley tariff bill that the time for removing
the goods now in bond shall not extend beyond
the LIST of November next; and
Whereas, the limited time allowed for such
removal would cause an unusual demand for
money from importers and thereby increase
the present stringency OF the money market at
time when all the currency is needed for
crop-moving purposes; therefore
Resolved, That it is the sense Of this cham
Der that it would be greatly for the benefit Of
the entire commercial business interests of the
country that the time for removing goods
now In bond be extended to February I, 1891,
and this chamber urgently requests that the
bill be SO amended.
Mr.. Bliss, in seconding the resolutions, said
that there was no doubt that the Secretary Of
the Treasury was in favor of the amendment
suggested, and that what they were asking for
had in fact been volunteered. He was certain
that the bill would he amended to meet the
wishes Of the New York merchants.
On motion of Frederick A. Conklin. Ii was
decided to send copy OF the resolutions to
President Harrison, the President Of the Senate
and the Speaker Of the House Of Representa-
tiyee.

ALLEYS AND THEIR USES.
The Commissioners Suggest Amend
ments to the Alley Bill.

At board meeting this afternoon the fol-
lowing letter was agreed upon and forwarded
to Congress as an expression Of tho views OF
the Commissioners on House bill 1881 to regu-
late the building of houses in alleys:
The bill being of great public importance
the Commissioners heard citizens on both sides
who were interested in the matter. We have
concluded that the object of the bill, with one
or two alterations hereafter mentioned, is O
good one. 1t was the intention no
doubt when the all eys in the city were origin
ally laid out that that they should be for the
accommodation OF the front improvements in
removing garbage, ashes, &C., or receiving
coal, wood or other bulky supplies, as well as
for the erection Of stables for
horses and carriages, But as property
Of population the temptation to build small
houses in the alleys for rent, as we'll as to &C
commodate people with small incomes. grad
ually overcame the original purpose, and now
a large speculation of the kind is in existence.
This new condition, no doubt has called at
tention to the subject.
1t is of great Importance to every large city
that all the bes: possible conditions of health
shall be maintained. One of the most danger
Gus is that of overcrowding and too close con-
tact. 70 meet this danger sufficient open
spaces for light, ventilation and the convenient
operation OF fire apparatus, garbage carts,
sweeping machines and the other appliances
necessary for health and safety should be pro-
vided.
On the moral side of the question il is pro-
verbal that alleys are the favOrite spots for
drunken brawls and murderous assaults, and
the wider they are the better can police sur
Vigilance be afforded.
We have had some doubt on the question OF
width, whether ii should be limit OF 80 or 40
feet, buthave concluded it should be 30.
We commend an additional provision that Sin
alley in the District be built over two stories
high above the basement, and that
the basement story shall not exceed
two feet above the level of the alley. '
And that the words 'out into" lines and 10,
be stricken out and the word into inserted.
With these changes We heartily and earnestly
approYe the bill.
