There Is u new game which is called

ALMOST A BLACK FRIDAY.

Jay Gould hung out the black flag
last Friday and started in for another
raid OH railroad stocks, but after ham
mering Missouri Pacific down nine
points other heavy operators came to
the rescue and succeeded in checking
the decline and sustaining other prop
critics. Jay Gould has proven him
self an Ishmaelite whose hand is
against every man and whose pathway
has been strewn with the wrecks of
other mems fortunes. Some OF the
leading commercial newspapers advise
dropping the Gould stocks from the
list and calling only such stocks as are
backed up by men of character. As
one New York paper puts it, "Gould
has no character to lose and we adj
wise lnen TO deal only with men who
have a character as well as money TO
lose"
All of jay Gould's millions will not
buy him an hon orable reputation.
His fortune has been made chiefly by
wrecking railroads and then buying
them in for song. He is not build
er or producer; he is simply wrccker
ana the honorable members of the
New York stock exchange would act
wisely in driving him, his stocks and
his brokers from the floor of the ex-
change. With honest management
the Missouri Pacific cOnld be made
one of the best paying roads in the
country, and Jay Gould knows that
as well as anybody, but inasmuch as
his sons George aud Eddie had gone
short on bull market and were likely
to lose a few millions, the old man
concluded to make raid and depress
prices so they could fiji their short in
terests. II is almost impossible to
Iegislate against such acts as these,
but the people should be educated up
10 point where they will see that II
is not best 10 trust their fortunes in
the hands of unprincipled speculative
buccaneers who have the power to un-
furl the black flag at any time and
cause the destruction of whole CON-
munities.

SECRET SOCIETIES.

We are happy TO state that through
the influence and advice of the NEWS
Field Marshal McGregor has with
drawn the veil of secrecy from tho
political organization known as the
knights and Ladies Of America and
the meetings of that order are now
held with open doors.
Strictly benevolent societies, such as
freemasons, oddfellows aud kukluxes
may with propriety hold secret meet
ings, as it is not only necessary to
keep the women out, but 1t is also
necessary at times to keep our wives
in the dark as to where one Is spend
ing the long winter evenings. There
is nothing in American politics de-
manding secrecy and although such
societies may not be contrary to the
peace and dignity of the United States,
they are UNI American and impolitc
TO say the least. Giving rise, as they
do, to suspicion and distrust, no great
political party can hope TO win the
confidence of the people through such
agencies and wherever a party has
sought to gain victory through such
channels it has always come TO grief.
The knights and Ladies of A merica
as a political secret organization was
never anything more than mild form
of insanity, with the usual signs, pass
words and grips, but since il has d.
vested itself of the hidden mysteries
and mummeries which characterize
the orders Of knights of the Golden
Circle, Good Templars, United Breth-
rem and malta we can live in the hope
that it will accomplish its mi sion in
an open, frank and transparent man
ncr.

An easily made bodice more closely
fitted than shirt waists has been de-
signed for stout figures. 1t is without
lining, and is suitable for ginghams,
zephyrs, or washable silks, with skirts
to match, or with various skirts. 1t has
two box plaits about three inches wide
stitched down the front and back, un-
der which are concealed darts that take
away the fullness of the waist line. 1t
is further fitted by under-arm forms
and side forms. The front has hem
an inch and a half wide, with false hem
beneath for button-holes. The middle
back is of one piece, holding two wide
box plaits; under each of these plaits a
dart begins six inches above the waist
line, and this draws the box plaits to
lap under the belt. The bodice extends
seven inches below the belt, and is SIM
ply hemmed. A turned-over collar of
the material doubled is three and half
inches deep when sewed to narrow
standing band. Two pointed ends are
attached to tie as throat bow. The
sleeves round high above the armholes,
and are gathered to straight cuffs that
turn back and are fastened by linked
buttons A belt of the material is stiff
ly interlined, and is pointed at the lap
ped end.-Harper's Bazaar.

Spring Warnings.

The warning not to turn off heat the
early and not to make haste
to put away stoves in the
spring needs to be spoken often. Many
serious cases of illness have been trac-
ed to the foolish practice of letting
down the winter fire as soon as the first
mild breezes of spring blow. 1t is time
enough in this changeable climate to
let the winter fire down by May, and
there are many cold days in this lati-
tude in May when a fire is needed The
spring, when the stoves are taken down,
and not the fall, when they are put up
again, is the proper time to see that
stove hues and chimneys and all parts
Of the paraphernalia of the heating ap-
paratus of the house are cleaned 1t is
an easy matter for the man to attend to
this cleaning in the spring, before the
general house-cleaning is done. If
everything is done now, at one time, in
stead of putting dirty stoves away to
stand for six months to be cleaned
when they are needed, great deal of
trouble will be saved.-N. Y. Tribune.

And He Didn't Come Back for Further
Instructions.
Three or four of us had closed our
umbrellas and gathered under store
awning at the lower end of Market
street, Philadelphia, to wait for grip
car. Along came a colored man, carry
ing faded and rent old umbrella, and
we all noticed that he carried the shelter
tipped forward at such an angle that his
feet We're protected at the expense of
his back.
"Stop, sirr shouted the man at my
left, who had the look and bearing of a
judge.
Eyes, sah-what's wanted?" queried
the colored man.
81 want to show you how to carry
an umbrella Your toes are dry, while
your back is all wet. / don't believe
that one person in fifty knows how to
carry an umbrella so as to get the most
protection out of it"
ITS an old one sab"
I Eyes, see, but you don't grasp the
handle right Here-take mine"
"Yes, sah."
Take the handle with your right
hand, and carry it on line with your
right shoulder. There-that's better. +"
Cant git along wild sich stiffness,
sah."
"Yes, you can. Now walk up to the
corner and back. Hold the handle on q
line with your shoulder. That's it-go
ahead"
The negro marched off with steady
pace, and while he was stepping off the
gentleman turned to us with:
'It's a knac1 to shelter yourself un-
der an um brella, particularly if IL rains
hard, and the want of this knack pro-
vokes me when / see it."
We agreed with him, and the minutes
passed by and car came down.
"Why, where did the negro go toP'
asked the owner of the umbrella.
We looked up and down, but he had
disappeared. The man ram up the
street two squares, but there was no
African carrying fine silk um brella
with gold handle-not as he could
see. We started to rally him bit as
we went up on the car, but he checked
us by saying:
''If any of you think can't lick you
in one round all you have to do is to
step off the car! ] won't detain you
three minutesl"-N. Y. Sun.

Sour Buttermilk as a Drink.

The sharp, sour buttermilk of which
some people are fond, is swarming with
germs which are likely to set up the
same kind of fermentation in the stom-
ach. Not only in milk, but these germs
are able to make Tactic acid out of but
ter, starch, sugar, meat and almost
every thing we eat. This one objection
to the use of butter, because it is liable
to contain within itself germs which
will produce Tactic acid fermentation,
and often also that kind of fermenta.
ton which gives butter rancid taste,
namely, buteric acid fermentation. Put
ting into your stomach butter which Is
the least tainted is like inoculatine
your dinner with germs.-From Lee
