THE IMPRINT OF FASHION.

Certain establishments in large
cities become known through their
studlous efforts, long experience, and
by their position, as authorities for
and producers of particular kinds of
goods. 1t takes about 80 yards of
cloth to make suit. But that's the
smallest part of the worth that goes
into it. Is it the fit? Well, partially
1t is the fit; ;-and yet it might fit to the
hairs breadth and be a failure as
first-class merchant tailoring. The
way cloth, trimmings, everything
that belongs to the Clothing is put
together is the main thing. That we
call character-the most difficult aud
excellent thing that goes into the
Suit-and the most valuable.
Describe it? We can't. Nobody
can. 1t is in the tailor's thought. 1t
comes out in his work. Their work
is full of character.

WnKEsBARRE, Feb. 26.-The rumor
that Anna Dickinson's mind had become
deranged aud friends had found it neces-
sary to remove her to an insane asylum
created a sensation this afternoon. The
gifted lady has resided for years with her
sister, Susan T. Dickinson, in the quiet
little village of West Pittston. For some
time past her health has been in a pre-
carious condition because of insomnia. A
consultation Of physicians yesterday de-
uided hat u change of scene and absolute
quiet would furnish the only hope for her
complete recovery. Accordingly she was
removed quietly from her home this after
noon, but where she has been taken her
friends decline to say. They emphaticRlly
deny, however, that she has been taken to
an insane asylum or that her mind is I'M

An Awful Affair.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-The exc
cution of VIM. West. in the jail yard Of
this place today for the murder OF three
members OF the Crouch family. was an
awful affair. This morning the con-

they finally determined to strap him TO a

from bis stupor by the shock, and realIz-

fearfully to free himself. The groaning.
writhing mar was picked up by the death

The suffrage Question.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.-Two reports
we're made to the house today from the
committee appointed to investigate the
restriction of suffrage by state govern
ments.
Rogers makes an individual minority
report, holding that the hearing proceeded
on two false assumptions. First, hat if
a state restricts suffrage for cause other
than rebellion or crime, it violates the
fourteenth amendment, and that it is
necessary for some states to violate this
amendment in order that a proper APP
poItlonment may be made. If the logic
OF the majority be followed. of all the state
constitutions that are most fragrantly
offensive it is that of Idaho. our little
sister, brought into statehood by thi,
congress after long labor and successful
performance by the speaker OF the Gaze
sarian operation generally known as
counting a quorum" Rogers draws at
%teut:on to the Idaho provision t~orbiddinR
p0lygamists or Mormons voting. Other
states might be cited but the list Is al
ready so long. he says, as to suggest the
inquiry whether the whole country is not

amendment altogether, and becoming i'm
bued with the idea that the people of the
states should be left to self-government
without o~ficious outside interference. The
majority, report prepared by Caswell OF
Wisconsin. says the committee did not
deem it necessary to examine the various
state constitutions, but the constitutions
Of Mississippi and Massachusetts are
clearly within the provisions Of the second
section of the fourteenth amendment, be-
cause of their educational and property
requirements. The majority says it is
not for them 10 discuss the wisdom OF
the fourteenth amendment. nor ID de-
termine in what manner the number or
proportion of the inhabitants of any given
state who are disfranchised can be ascer
tanned. The sole question delegated to
US was whether the constitution or laws
of any state should make a reduction of
its representation by reason of suffrage
restrictions. Inc instances clued above
show that the resolution should pass, so
that a thorough investigation might be
had.
