Hot cakes, pies. etc, need not be re-

CHAT ON FASHION.

Crabbe, quaint writer of poesy, who
lived in the latter half OF the Eighteenth
century, discoursed on many topics and did
not omit from the list that one to which
this space is usually devoted. He causticly
says:
Fashion. though foliys Child and guide o. fools,
Rules cen the wlsest and in learning rules.
From crowds and courts to wisdoms seat she
goes
And reigns trunphaut DER her mother foes
II the poets estimate Of the extent of
fashions sway is CORRECT, there is no occa-
sion for apology If the readers Of this de-
partment look in fashions glass and seek
to know what new conceptions are reflected
there, for if the ''wisest' are ruled b.
folly's child then ordinary mortals must
expect TO be her subjects and TO concede
that science, philosophy and reform oftener
gain hearing and converts when garments

MONUMENTS TO WOMEN.

What American woman ever had monu-
ment erected TO her memory? l mean a
public monument by her countrymen. The
question may seem simple one, ana there
may have been dozens of such women, but
can find no record of them. By answering
you will greatly oblige. Very respectfully,
Mrs. JOHN H MULLINS.
The statue erected TO Margaret in the
city OF New Orleans is, we believe, the only
one in this country which is public monu-
ment. Margaret" as she preferred to be
called, was poor widow with only small
bake shop, yet in the devotion of her life TO
charity she did much good. She was emf
nently successful in business and became
the foundress of several charitable institu-
lions. The statue erected by her admirers
represents her in her plain attire, seated in
a chair with her rugged honest face turned
toward two children ut her knee.

Riding Habits.

Horseback riding, as taught in the New
York schools and practiced in the east, fol
lows English methods, notably the rising
trot," which is almost unknown at the
south and west. The eastern women also
borrow the English women's fashions in
the matter of small, fiat saddle and short
stirups and in the riding habit.
1sany of the habits are being made in
rough hairy cloths, though smooth cloths,
diagonals and corkscrew cloths are also en-
ployed. The colors most favored are blacl,
and dark blues. The most popular bodice
is closely buttoned in front and finished
with square position back. The coat bod

The charming literary wife of a cele-
brated New York artist has introduced the
prettiest sort of 4 new wrinkle in the serv-
ing of her afternoon tea. When first she
handed round the steamiug cups, each

ested over the innovation. Then she eE-
planned, and, while adding slice of lemon

ing collar and lapels, disclosing a scarf at
the neck and cut away at the waist to show
light waistcoat, is another popular style.
\ completely new habit bodice is double
breasted, with low revers. showing tie.
and in lieu of the ordinary short basque an
elongated one. like a mans dress coat,
dividing up the center, 50 that it falls easily
in place on the saddle. This has found
much favor with English equestriennes.
Whatever the style OF habit bodice may be
the riding skirt remains scant, closely fit
ted at the top and barely long enough to
touch the floor when the wearer is ON her
feet.
Ladies are permitted q choice between the
silk riding hat and Derby hat OF felt. The
silk hat this season has slightly bell
shaped crown, with the brim curving mar
row at the sides. The gloves are OF goat or
doe skin and fasten with four buttons.
New York women for the most part ride
in top boots of patent leather, the riding
trousers being made in form of knicker-
bockers. Long trousers may, however, be
worn with ordinary walking shoes, when
it is desired to economic, as the boots es-
pecially made for equestrians are expensive.
In this connection it may be well to ex-
plain that the question of cross saddle
riding for women, which was agitated some
months ago, was settled by the Princess Of
Wales, who considered it immodest.

THE MODES OF THE DAY.
Styles Adopted with Wooden Fabrics in
the Tailor Made Gowns.

The severe style adopted with tweeds
and other wooden materials suggests the
idea that tailor made gowns have it ell
their own way at present, and dresses man
ipulated by wornen's bands are confined to
evening wear. Many a. the light wooden
fabrics have large diamonds or Topped rings
in couples scattered over them, while others
have what are ironically called London
srowfakes, being of very doubtful white.
Many of the striped materials are so made

Fashion Echoes.

Lace hats are decidedly fashionable.
In almost every case the hose matches
the shoes.
The hats are Of fair size, but the bonnets
ace small.
For very dressy occasions the fronts Of
shoes are embroidered with gold beads and
colored stones.

Cleveland the Gold.Bug.

The Republican party has fur
nished many tools for Wall street,
and some of them have grown gray
in the service of Shylock, but no
Republican has ever made more
complete surrender to the money
power than Grover Cleveland has.
In the midst of general distress,
with the crash of falling houses of
long standing, with his party in the
west and south against him, Mr..
Cleveland, either because of inner
ent stupidity, or because Wall
street owns him, has deliberately
declared against the toiling millions,
and thereby cut himself off from
the class that stood by him in the
years gone by.

congress should stop the coinage OF

ference to be held at room 80 Bland

The Atlantic Pacific Railway Tanue'.

The Atlantic Pacific Railway Tanne'.
From the Commonwealth, Denver, Colorado,
December, 1899.
Some weeks ago The famous and
talented M. M. C'Brick"O Pomeroy,
after several years. absense, paid his
former home, Denver, visit. Mr..
Pomeroy is essentially national char
acter. 1t is, however, a question If
the genialitv, the eruine human ma
ture and the driving, pushing and
never resting energy of the man is
generally known. The American
pc ,plc are too prone 10 Judge many of
their fellow citizens by their "war
records" which, at this late day, is an
injustice. Men north and south differ
ed on constitutional questions and,
while firm in their Royalties to the Un-
ion, may still question the constitu-
tlonality of the .means employed to
free the slave. Mr.. Pomeroy, though
a UniCn man, was ardent in his pro-
test against the violent means adopted
and still more ardent in his defense of
the sacred right Of indivjdual OPP ion.
We who know Mr.. Pomeroy most i'm
timately, and who have spent hours
in conversation with him at home and
abroad, can attest to his honest, sim
cerity and sound Americanism.
TO Mr.. Pomcroy's energy and in
trepidity Colorado owes one Of her
greatest and, perhaps, most promising
enterprises. He conceived the great
Atlantic Pacific Railway Tunnel
scheme. This tunnel, while it is a
mining venture, and is already, we be-
lieve. showing great results, will soon
er or later be of tremendous value
as a medium for connecting the two
slopes on each side of the great CONT
mental divide. AS passage, tunnel
ing Kelso mountain for railway pur-
poses, the Atlantic-Pacific Railway
Tunnel alone is bound to enrich its
projectors and stockholders, though it
should not be producer OF precious
metals. But in its dual purpose its
promise is enormous. We heartily
congrai ulate Mr.. Pomeroy on the sue
cess of his great venture.

The KANSAS AGITATOR, now pub
lished at Garrett, is good one and
will be power for good to the peo-
ple's cause in that county, and it
should meet the hearty support OF
everybody whose heart is in the
cause. Bro. Champe and the two
Alexanders have had a hard tussle,
and we are happy to note them
coming to the front. This man
Champe is of The Greeley News,
who the Anderson county ring boss
es have been trying to down for 10 !!
these many years. 1t was Champe,
of The Greeley News, that brought
about the taxpayers getting 6 per
cent. for the county money in place
of 2 per cent, as set up by the old
bosses. Well may the people OF
Anderson county stand by all such
men and newspapers. Long may
Champe and the two Alexanders
wave and battle in the cause OF the
oppressed against the oppressors.
