SHOP GIRL IN BLACK.
II Enables Her to Avoid "Mashers anu
Prevents Flashy Costumes.
phiIndeLnhin Record.

Philadelphia Record.
Those who are in the habit or doing a
great deal of shopping have no douot
noticed the almost universal prevalence
Of black in the attire Of saleswomen.
This fact is the outcome Of rule which
is strictly enforced in all the large
stores, with one or two notable excep-
lions. The casual inquirer who has no.
ticed this state of affairs Is generally
answered with the equivocating truth
that a dress OF homogeneous black har-
monies quietly with any colored goods
a girl may be selling, and for that reason
is desirable.
Perhaps the superintendent OF an
other store will tell you the rule Is en-
forced for the sake of uniformity. He
will add that all successful merchants
owe their success TO system, and that
uniformity is the basis Of all systems.
These answers arc true as far as they
go, but they do not give the true reason
for enforcing rule which Is not only
distasteful to majority OF the shop
girls, but Is also expensive as well. A
bright young lady who is employed In
the largest store in the city explained
the matter thoroughly.
"You will notice." said she, chat the
rule regarding the wearing Of black Is
not enforced in this store, except In the
cloak department. 1t is enforced In
that department for the simple reason
that black will harmonic with any
kind of cloak or wrap, and as the girls
are compelled to try on cloaks, wraps
and sacks for customers, you will readi-
ly see why black is preferable to any
other color. But this is not considered
a hardship, because the firm furnishes
the dress goods for cloak department
saleswomen.
"Now in the other departments, in
which hundreds Of girls are employed,
the rule is that nothing must be worn
but quiet, subdued colors. The nearest
approach to black we wear the the bet
Ter are our superiors suited. In all
this army Of girls 1t is impossible
to have every one of the best moral
character. While / insist that none
of them are absolutely bad,
there are needless, flippant
ones, who would take occasion to show
this disposition by dressing In the loud
est and most. pronounced colors. II
this were allowed you can readily see
what harm would result. Dudes and
FOUNDERS, who come In here every day
to test their powers to mash, would at
once know In what directions to throw
their silly smiles. Therefore, that all
may be protected, we are compelled to
dress in subdued colors."
This rule, against dressing in any.
thing but black, is generally enforced.

Fatal Gas Tank Explosion.

BUTLER, PA, July 21.-A gas tank
near an oil we'll on the Miller farm at
Gallery, exploded with terrific force
about 1870 o'clock this afternoon, COM
pletely wrecking the derrick and boiler
house, and fatally injuring d. L.
Reeder, member of the oil firm, and
James c. Fitch, driller. Reeder was
burned almost to crisp. Fitch was
hurled distance of sixty feet, and it Is
feared internally injured. Several
others who were at work in the vicinity
were slightly hurt. 1t is thought the
explosion was caused by an unusual
pressure of gas escaping through de-
fective check valve. The fire following
the explosion destroyed the tanks, der
rick and boiler house, entailing loss
of about $500.

Graves Fell Into the Trap.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., July 21.-Dlstrict
Attorney Isaac n. Stevens, OF Denver,
Colo, arrived in this city last evening.
He was interviewed regarding the case
against DIR. Thatcher Graves for the
murder of Mrs. j. B. Barnaby. he
said that from the outset there had been
nothing on which to base real sus-
picion against the Worrells, and that
the California stories were altogether
fictitious. He said that Dr. Graves had
been induced to come to Denver by a
careful plan, and that the doctor had
fallen into the trap completely. Miss
Hanley, he said, was living at Denver
with the family of a client of Judge
Furman, DR.. Graves attorney, and was
kept under sharp surveillance by DIR.
Graves friends. The poison remaining
in the bottle is in Chicago at the Rush
medical college, and Mr.. Stevens said
he believed it would be found that the
bottle never contained whisky at all.
The States case was undoubtedly a
strong one.

WHO PAYS IT?

The Toronto Empire is not foreign
pauper free trade journal; it is the lead
ing Protection organ OF Canada, but
gives the assurance that, so far as
known by the Canadian farmers who
send live stock, hay, and general pro-
duce to this country, they do not pay
the Mckinley duty on their exports.
The Empire confirms its opinion by
citing figures and asserting that for the
products which the Canadian sends to
the United States, and on which some
body pays the duty, he receives exactly
the same price as for those products
which he sends to England, on which
nobody pays any duty.
But McKinley's duty is paid by
somebody, and as the Canadian pro-
Queer doesn't pay it, the American con-
sinner must. In view of the demon
stration given by the Toronto journal,
the ProtectioniSt contention that the
foreigner pays the duty falls to the
ground. What is true of Canada is Of
course true Of other foreign countries.
American buyers cannot buy goods in
England, France or Germany cheaper
than the same goods can be bought by
buvers from other countries. American
- nav raise the plea that they
should have a discount because their
own country imposes duty, but such a
Dlea can have no weight with the for
oicn manufacturer. He recognizes Nc
KInleyism as commercial warfare
and If he is Influenced by it at all, it
certainly will not be in favor OF the
American buyer.

WOOL FALsEHooDs.

At last an Ohio Republican organ has
been found with termerity enough to
attempt an explanation OF the falling
of in the price of American wool since
the passage Of the Mckinley bill, which
was warranted to put the price up.
This bold journal is the Cleveland
Leader, and it takes the bull by the
horns in a sweeping assertion that it's
all Democratic lie; that the fall in
price is general all over the world, and
that the price Of American wool is pro-
portionately higher than ever. Only
the Cleveland Leader would attempt
such an argument in the face OF facts
and figures gathered by Mr.. HARRIsoN's
own representatives abroad.
In the last number of Reports OF
Consuls Of the United States" for May.
one of the reports is on the subject OF
"Sheep and Wool in Asiatic Turkey"
another is on "The Australian Wool
Season of 1S9O-9l." We advise the
Leader to carefully read these reports
before going further into the wool cam
paign.
These consuls explain the decrease in
demand for Ohio and Texas wool and
the consequent fall in price, which in
wolves an explanation of the increased
demand for foreign wool and the con-
sequent rise in price.
Consul General SWEENEY, at Constan-
tInople speaks of 'a large trade with
the United States, whereto large guam
titles Tof wool are now being shipped
direct from the Persian Gulf"
But the Australasian season OF 1890
81, however, comes nearest and most in
terests US. Consul GRIFFIN says that
the wool sis remarkable for it's length
of staple, density and firmness, and
is well adapted for the use of
American manufacturers" He ex-
plains why the price Of Aus
tralian wool is higher than usual
by adding that "the wooden mills Of
New Zealand are always on the lookout
for this wool, and compete sharply with
American buyers for it,"
"No tariff yet invented" says the
New York World, twill compel an
American manufacturer to pay Is cents
for Ohio wool that he can't use when
wool that he can use brings &c cents,
plus duty and charges. If he must have
the costly wool and cannot afford 1t he
will shut up his mill, and then the
American raiser of the coarse wool that
mixes we'll with the finer grades loses a
customer.
1.-The wool trade of Australia is grow
ing rapidly, while the Mckinley tariff
is driving sheep out of our pastures. In
1881 we consumed $4,000 bales; in 1889
81, 900; in 1890, $4,000. The higher we
build the tariff wall the more the sheep
that climb over it."
