enormous in this very valuable article

GEO. 6. HOSKlNSON.

A. J. Dodge, correspondent at Wash
ington, D. c. to the Milwaukee Sentinel
has the following to say about him:
Among the Wisconsin people in Wash
ington at the present time is George E.
Hoskinson, of Grand Rapids. Mr..
Hoskinson is engaged in the wood pulp
business at Grand Rapids, across the
river from Centralia, where he has been
since his return from Jamaica, where
he was consul for several years at the
port of Kingston. The announcement
a few days since that an appointment
had been made for the Kingston
consulate, place which Hoskinson
very much desired to again secure.
brought the gentleman to Washington
to look the field over and see whether
he could secure an appointment else
where. 1t is not known what place he
now covets, but it is well known that
he made an excellent record during the
twelve years that he was in Kingston,
and to whatever post he is sent, in the
event of his being able to secure an
appointment, he will fill the place
creditably and well. But it has not been
supposed of late, on account of proper
tionately large number of appointments
that Wisconsin has received in the
consular and diplomatic service, that
beyond the appointment of J. II. Ellis,
of Oconto, who is expected to be sent
to a minor consulate in Canada, that
the state will be able to secure any
more appointments in that direction.
But Mr.. Hoskinson is hustler and he
may succeed in raking down a plum.

women Arc SLOW Paying nllls.

There is lack of skilled dressmakers in
this country and loose system of paying
tradespeople except possibly in the case Of
large shops who collect their bills monthly
Fashionable dressmakers and milliners
complain that women of great wealth are
often so slow in paying their sea-
sons bills that they lose the discount
allowed them at all wholesale houses for
payment within certain number of
months. When the husband is not over
indulgent, and the wife has no purse of her
own, many months may elapse before the
workwoman obtains her earnings. It is
not strange that such dilatory customers
are charged more than those who make
prompt payments the rule.-New York
