the end will be.
PROF. JAS. E. ROGERS, prohibition
candidate for congress, spoke at the
courthouse here on Tuesday, to linn
tied audience. He is a polished
speaker and man of culture. He
was severe and able in his criticism
on the Mckinley tariff bill, and H.
Clay Evans in giving it his support.
He said 1t would bring up the cost of
living to the many; keep wages on
the old level; but add largely to the
incomes of the manufacturers. He
said he had two brothers operatives
in the iron industries, and he learned
from their sad experience and family
tint how the protection idea was
working among the poorer classes.
1t had already begun to show its clo-
ven foot. But here comes the enig-
ma of the gentleman's position. How
he can so clearly perceive and ex-
press the evils Of the protection idea,
and miss so fatally the remedy.
There are but very few indeed so
dull, who do not see Prof. Rogers
has no chance for congress, and that
vote for him is half vote for Evans
and the odious tariff. Is it mental
blindness 4? or is it insincerity and a
secret wish to aid the republicans,
and trample down Snodgrass and
democracy? The gentleman failed
at the courthouse here to define his
position on the force bill, except to
say to the colored folks that the blood
of his family had been shed for the
negroes freedom, and he favored a
fair election and the counting of bal
lots when cast. Straws show how
and from whence the wind cometh.
WE ARE afraid that the democrats
in this congressional district will soon
have to begin sending up the petition,
"Good Lord, deliver us from ouI
friends" The Nashville American
has become very much dist essed
over the prospect of Snodgrass' de-
feat, and is printing good deal %
gush about the situation. Reitterat
ing abuse of Evan day after day
won't do Snodgrass any good. Snod
grass is all right, and is going to bC
the next Congressman from this dis
trict. We don't take any stock in
this pretended scare over Evans
"marching on to victory" etc. W.
know that considerable apathy exists
among the democrats of the district
and that they are not working a
they should be doing, but for all this
Snodgrass will come in with snuI
majority. A staff correspondent
writes the American from Chattanoo
ga, SIN this congressional district, a
in the rest of East Tennessee, Buch
anan will poll the full democrati
strength, but Snodgrass will not d
this in the congressional race unles
some hard, systematic earnest worl
is done by the democrats within tn
next ten days" This is but the veri
f est kind of bosh. We will set up III
peanuts on the American man
Snodgrass don't poll more votes i
this district than Buchanan. Ever
democrat in the district should gt
earnestly to work, however, an
make Snodgrass' majority owe
Evans as large as possible. We war
to bury him and his party clear oil
: of sight in this district.

IT HAS been repeatedly charged
through the newspapers of this State
that Hon. ]. d. Richardson, Congress
man from the Fifth District, surren-
dered his law license in order to join
the alliance. In his Bell Buckle
speech last Saturday Mr.. Richardson
denied the charge that he had ever
surrendered his license, and said
there was no such thing as a lawyer
surrendering his license. He says he
gave up the practice of law latter his
first election to Congress, and has re.
fused all cases offered him since, and
that this was done before ever he
heard of the alliance.

Severe on the Militia.

One of the regular officers who was at
the Mt. Gretna encampment says the fol-
lowing in regard to that camp: 81 can
not refrain from saying that it looks as
if the state Of Pennsylvania paid $685.
900 for an inspection and two reviews.
Beyond that nothing was attempted
which could not have been better exc
cuted at the armories at home. The
militiamen have the idea that if they
get few of the movements down fine
which are spread out before them in
Upton's tactics they are in condition to
conquer the world and haven't anything
more to learn. Why, they leave off just
where real warfare begins. Such a
thing as modern battle tactics is un-
known to them. It is in the ability to
rightly handle just such bodies Of men as
that division of 5000 militiamen which
encamped at Mt. Gretna that officers in
the militia are lacking. That's the sort
of work that will count in a war now,
and that's the very thing that is never
attempted. Army and Navy Journal.

Fare Reckoned a New Way.

Sir Rowland Hills great discovery Of
the value of simplicity in vast undertak-
ings seems to have produced little i'm
preston as yet upon those who have the
management Of our railways. In Paris
the directors of the queer little line
which runs right round the city inside
the Notifications, and forms means Of
communication between all the great
termini, have just made considerable
advance in the right direction.
For the future the fares will be reck-
oned by the number Of stations one
passes in travelling. For the first two
stations the fare will be twopence; be-
yond these it will be threepence. One
has only to remember that first class is
just double the price Of the ordinary or
second class, and that return ticket are
issued for fare and half, and one can
by looking at a plan see at glance what
one has to pay. Why not try some such
plan on the District railway in London.

A Beautiful Vienna Girl.

Standing, sitting, leaning; sad, smil-
ing or simply meditative; arrayed in a
variety Of chic costumes; smoking a
cigarette, peeping over mask, etc., she
has challenged comparison with every
fresh rival. A few years ago she won a
5000 prize at a beauty contest. Then
she was simply Miss Mertens, ''to fort
une and to fame unknown" After that
she became a fixed star in the theatrical
armament, and is now an actress at the
Eden theatre in Paris. She is distract
ing beauty, perhaps the most beautiful
woman in Europe. Her skin shows the
smooth, dead white of the magnolia
blossom, a tint seen to perfection among
the Austro-Hungarians. An Oriental
languor softens her large, white idded
eyes. She is tall, of generous build and
very graceful. = Philadelphia North

Not Discouraged Yet.

It is wonderful how much pertinacity
and courage are displayed by the aver
age settler in new country. Up in
Dickey and Mcintosh counties, in North
Dakota, the crops have failed for several
seasons from various causes, and the
hardy Russians and sturdy Germans
who have been holding down claims in
these localities have had pretty tough
times. This year the hot winds have
again cooked the crops, SO that there is
nothing left to harvest, and the poor
foreigners have been forced to leave their
farms and look for work in northern
Wisconsin in order to save their fami-
lies from starving during the coming
winter. "But they are not discour-
aged" naively remarks North Dakota
paper, "and will cling to their claims,
feeling confident that there is a good
time yet in store for them. Chicago

:
THE PErTicoAT MUST GO.
Eashionable Modistes Refuse to Fit
Dress Over . Muslin Skirt.

Fashionable Nodistes Refuse to Fit .
Dress Over q Muslin Skirt.
The newest thing in petticoats is no
petticoat at all. This assertion may tax
credulity, but it is fact, fashionable
fact perhaps, but nevertheless fact. It
is hard to believe that woman would
ever outlive her love for the fine cam
brio skirts with their cluster tucks, oper
insertions and Swiss embroidered ruffles,
but she has, and more than that, she
scorns the lace edged French skirt, and
would not give thirty cents for the finest
convent made flannel skirt in stock. At
first it seemed positively shocking to lay
aside that most feminine and really
beautiful garment, but the fashionable
modiste began the crusade, declared that
she could not fit the dress nicely over
the gathered cotton underwear, and or
dered it off. The tyrant was obeyed,
but not surprised; for did she not elimi-
nate the narrow skirted, round shoul-
dered chemise and the lozenge shaped
corset cover?
It is no betrayal Of confidence to say
that this onslaught of underwear had its
origin on the stage. No society actress
or artistic goes through part in the reg
ulation underwear for the reason that
her freedom would be restricted. She
could not get around in ruff1ed dimity,
nor deport herself with any sort Of grace
in starched cambria. The dressmaker
who fits stage dress over stays, stock
ings and tights very soon learns how SUI
perior the result is compared to the gown
made over gathers, strings, bands or
yokes. One is perfectly smooth, the
other cannot be kept from wrinkling.
IL has come to a point now when the
modiste will refuse to fit skirt over
petticoat, and that ends all argument.
She does not presume to say that madame
shall not wear what she likes, but 81
will not try to fit you unless you dress
as I dictate. When the costume is fin
ished you may do with it what you
please"
Skirts hang better and bodices fit
nicer the less there is under them, and
in warm weather, when the dress is
made over lining, there is really no
necessity for underskirts. With the
Idl1or udue SulC, BLK lneu, Cnero is SUI
ficient warmth for cool weather, and a
long ulster as finish will suffice for cold
days. This new arrangement is an ad-
vance in the right direction. Women
need fewer clothes for housewear and
more wraps or outer garments for the
street.

A Volcano Serving as Lighthouse

A Volcano Serving as Lighthouse.
News brought down to Port Townsend
by officers and passengers on the steamer
Arago confirms the reports as to Mount
Bogoslov being in state Of activity.
About two months ago there was vio-
lent earthquake on all the islands in the
Aleutian group, and soon after Bogos-
Low, which is on Oumnak Island, began
emitting steam and smoke and fire and
lava. Bogoslov has been an active vol
cano since 1895, when the island upon
which it is situated is said to have risen
from the sea.
Although always marked on charts as
extinct several times in the past year
smoke and steam have been issuing from
the crater, and from it's original height
Of 1850 feet the volcano has been eaten
down to 1884 feet above the sea level
Professor Elliot, Of the Smithsonian In
stitution, has visited the island upon
which the volcano is situated, and has
made important scientific investiga-
tions. The flare of fire thousands of
feet in height can be seen at night issu-
ing from the mountain.
Mount Shishaldin, which is $3.50 feet
high, on Analga Island, is emitting steam
and smoke, and, it is thought, will soon
be in state of eruption. This mount
ain can be seen at sea for nearly 100
miles, and will be of great good to nav
igation If it should become active, as
the pillar of fire can be seen for great
distance, and will serve as a guide
through the dangerous Oumnak Pass

TT POPS UP sERENELY.
THE LITTLE GASOLINE STOVES
DEADLY WORK.
Two Houses Burned-One Woman Badly
Injured and Another Nearly frightened
to Death-Yesterday's Fire on San
Pedro Street.

At o'clock yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Peter johnson, the wife of tailor re-
siding at No. 629 San Pedro street, was
filling the tank of gasoline stove with
oil, when by the usual inexplicable ac
cident the fluid became ignited and an
explosion ensued. The burning oil was
scattered in every direction, and some
of it fell upon Mrs. Johnson's clothing
and ignited it.. The frightened woman
rushed shrieking from the house, and
was seriously burned before any of her
neighbors, whose attention had been
attracted by her screams, could render
her any assistance. She was carried
into the house of neighbor near by
and physician was summoned to at
} tend to her injuries.
In the meantime the burning oil had
ignited the woodwork of the kitchen
floor and furniture, and the first inti-
nation of danger in this direction re-
ceived by the crowd which had assem-
bled was the roaring of the flames as
they burst through the kitchen window
and enveloped the rear end OF the cot
tage.
An alarm was at once rung in from
box AZ, and the fire brigade responded
with commendable promptitude; but
owing to the stiff breeze which was
blowing, the fire spread with alarming
rapidity, and in few minutes the build
ing and its contents were entirely de-
stroyed. The adjoining building, new
seven room cottage occupied by
William Lawson and his wife, soon
caught fire, as the wind drove the flames
against it's south side, but with the
assistance of the bystanders, most of the
furniture was carried from the doomed
building. The efforts of the fire brigade
were directed to the salvage of this
house, but before the blaze was under
its control, the roof and all one side of
the house were consumed.
Mrs. Lawson was terribly agitated as
she witnessed the destruction of her
pretty home, and she became so i'll from
accelerated action of the heart as to
necessitate her being placed in the
hands of physician.
The greatest excitement prevailed in
the neighborhood, which is thickly
populated, as owing to the strong south
west wind which was blowing, serious
trouble was anticipated in subduing the
flames, and household goods were carried
out into the street indiscriminately by
those living on the windward side of the
burning buildings.
Johnson's loss, which is estimated at
$500, was partially covered by in
surance, while that of Mr.. Lawson,
amounting to 81 100, was fully insured.

Calisornia Fruit ON Sale.

II you are not politician and want to
get plum you have to go to California
for it, vicariously, perhaps, but none the
less certainly at this season. So when
you see a lot of those big purple beauties
lying in little nests Of white tissue paper,
looking as though they had just dropped
from the tree all ready to be bitten,
don't be deceived. They have all come
from California; they have been handled
in good part by Chinese cheap labor;
they have taken long journey over
land, and have grown ripper on the way,
but they are tremendously good all the
same. Just buy one and try it.
And this contribution to New York's
comfort from California is godsend.
For the fruit crops in the east here have
fallen off very considerably this year,
some say as much as 86 per cent, or
where there are usually zoe, 900 packages
from New England, New York, New
Jersey, Delaware and Maryland there
are now received, even on busy days,
barely 5000, and sometimes only 1000
packages. But California, according to
her fruit merchants here, has leaped into
the breach like a constitutional Curtius,
and promises to send here this year 500
car loads Of fruit, each containing 0,000
pounds of the delicious products of rich
soil and plentiful, dew mellowing sun
light.
All of this fruit comes here in refriger-
ating cars, and reaches the market here
in admirable condition. all ready to be
eaten.-New York Herald.

An Unusual Phenomenon.

An unusual phenomenon was wit
messed at Neville island Thursday.
During the heavy thunder storm shock
of green corn in lot a few feet from
Squire Shanks' residence was struck by
lightning, and taking fire, instantly
burned until it was entirely consumed,
the flames rising several feet above the
top of the corn. The corn was not only
wet by the shower, but was entirely
green, having been cut but few hours.
People who witnessed the sight were
reminded of the story Of Elijah's COM
petitive test of the products of Baal, the
fire coming down from the sky and con-
suming a pile fully as wet as was the
sacri6cial altar. Several people in the
vicinity were somewhat stunned, but
not seriously injured.-Pittsburg Dis

Two Brave English Yachtswomen.

There are two famous yachtswomen at
Cowes, Mrs. Rudson Reed and her sister,
Miss Cox, who both sail their own boats.
The former lady's is called the Trouble
some and the latter's the Miss. No sort
of weather seems to make any differ
ence to them, and they frequently carry
off the prize. On fine days Shey wear
blue serge frocks and yachting coats and
a man-of-war's cap, but "when the
breezes blow" one sees them in stout
pea jacket and tight fitting racing cap.
Both ladies are good looking, with slight,
graceful igures.-London Cor. Philadel-
