DETRo1T. Aug. 4.-The next national en-
Washington city. Tho correctness of this
assertion may not be conceded by the parti
sans of Lincoln, Neb., but inquiry at various
department. headquarters indicates that
when the roll of states is called on the To-
cation of the next encampment, Washing
ton will get the prize by vote of nearly
two to one. The various candidates for
commander-in-c chief are pressing their
claims with increased energy tonight.

withdrawn from the race. As it stands to-
Wisconsin, Smedburg, of California, Hurst,
of Ohio and Hodges, of New York. Weis-
sert's candidacy is the only one that is
sharply defined as to states. The west,
with the exception of the Pacific coast, is
practically solid for this candidate. The
situate situation is complicated tonight by the
sudden extravagant claims of Ohio for
Hurst and the rumor that Illinois may de-
eide to present the name of Ex-Gov Rich
ard j. Oglesby for commander. in-chief.
The race problem still looms up omin-
ously. and the question on every lip now is,
Gan this dispute be settled by the encamp-
ment without serious disruption in the
southern divisions2" Colored delegates
from Louisiana will make request to- NOR

How "ouida" Dresses Her Heroines.

An author who fairly riots in clothes
and attires her heroines in genuine Ara
bian Nights" magnifcence, is Ouida. Her
brides travel in cream velvet and sables,
and her great ladies are always drawing
over white marble terraces skirts of India
muslin, Flemish lace and primrose satin"
AS their husbands usually own gold mines,
if not principalities, it is quite unnecessary
for them TO hold up their frocks, and
simple morning dresses of this description,
or trailing rose colored ones" with rose
colored pearl sewn slippers" are merely
ordinary incidents.
One of these sUmptuous ladies seemed
on fire with the superb rubies that glittered
all over her, and shone like sparks of fame
upon the exquisite whiteness of her skin
and upon the flame colored robes that
CLEANED under the black shower of her
laces," while on another occasion golden
tissues 1oated about her like sunlit air,
and girdle of sapphires flashed beneath
her breast" ''Sunht air" is not bad as a
toilet, especially in July and August, but
when one comes to look for such a material
in the dry goods shops it is surprising how
difficult it is to find.-Harper's Bazaar

At a Charity Fair.

A man who strayed into charity
bazaar" had trying experience.
He had made several quite unsatisfac-
tory purchases, not knowing how to re-
fuse the demands of the pretty sales
women, and at last, to prove that he
could make one sensible investment, he
bought small matchbox and. carried it
off in triumph and haste.
Examining it after he had left the
booth, he discovered that there was no
place on which to light the matches.
So, with the air of one determined not
to be cheated, he marched back to the
young lady of whom he had bought the
box.
There is mistake here" he said.
"You sold me this pocket matchbox, and
there is no place on it to scratch the
matches"
"My dear SIR" said the young lady,
"you are quite right; l made a mistake
That is intended for a Jewel box and
costs fifty cents more, if You please"
''And what did you doi" asked friend
to whom he related his tale of woe.
"If you've ever been to fair" replied
the other in an aggrieved tone, you
know very well what did. paid the

PropuIsion by Jets of Wafer

Alexander Vogelsang, resident of
Brooklyn, thinks he has discovered the
secret of the successful propulsion of
ships by jets of water. The real loss in all
jet propulsion has been, he says, that as
the direction of the jet has always been in
a straight line in an opposite direction to
the vessels way the jet cannot find full
crum close to the discharge to act against
except the peripheral part of said jet 1t
has occurred to Mr.. Vogelsang to use two
or more jets, the nozzles pointing in an OPP
posite direction to the vessels way, and to
make these Jets revolve around a common
axis in circular paths like the tips of a
screw propeller.
The object was not to allow the jet time
to give velocity to the water acted upon
and so to find solid fulcrum for the entire
area of the jet close to the discharge. The
inventor is sure that this will prove the
most economical and efficient method of
propulsion yet known. Screw steamers can
be readily altered without disturbance of
the hull.-Boston Transcript.

A Roman Method of Securing Power.


Prior to the introduction of water power
mills the public mills in Rome were OPP
Grated chiefly by slaves. These establish
ments were located in the vaults of an i'm
mense building, known as the Pistrinum,
devoted exclusively to the uses of the
bakers of that city. Often it happened
that this slave labor was very difficult to
obtain, and to supply the want the mill
proprietors resorted to violent measures.
They enticed strangers and ignorantpersons
into the building on the plea of inspect
ing it.
In some of the rooms ingeniously con-
structed trapdoors were placed in the
floors. AS soon as an unsuspecting victim
stepped upon the trap he was precipitated
TO the vaults below and there imprisoned
and condemned to perpetual labor. No
chance of communicating with his friends
was afforded the prisoner, and thus he was
compelled to drudge until released by
death.
This horrible state of affairs continued
for many years, until it was finally I'M
masked by the merest accident. A lusty
soldier of the guard was enticed into the
Fistrinum and treated in the usual man
ner, but not being rendered unconscious by
the fall through the trap, he drew his
sword, and after killing two of his would
be enslavers forced his way out of the
vault. He soon laid bare the entire
scheme the emperor Immediately ordered
the building to be RACED to the ground,
and all who were proven to have been &C.
lively engaged 10 this murderous method
Of obtaining workmen were quickly ex-
ecuted.-Detroit Free Press.

Children Who Work Ten Hours a Day.

Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, looks
upon the employment of young children
in mercantile houses as a serious evil.
There are no statistics" said he, f'to
show the number of children under four
teen years of age thus employed, but it
must be large / believe that some chill
dren under eight years of age are en-
ployed in mercantile houses, and know
that their wages seldom exceed two dol
lars per week, while for a single days
absence they are locked much more than
a single days pay. The average pay is
probably not more than $50 per week,
and many small children receive but one
dollar per week There has been no at
tempt to organize children into labor
unions because the thing is impossible.
They could not act of their own volition.
The hours Of children in mercantile
houses are ordinarily from 80 a. N. to
$50 \. IN, and il the holiday season az
late as 0p. N. Many such children are
set 10 work not so much from the need
as from the greed Of parents. New
York Recorder.
