State Treasurer Herbert was not re-
nominated by the Democratic Legisla-
tive eaucus.at Dover, Monday night--not
that he did not deserve to be, but
because it would have been too startling
departure from established precedent
to allow him to serve longer than the
four years allotted to an incumbent of
that office. He retires, however, with
the consciousness Of having served with
unusual ability and fidelity. And the
same can also justly be said Of Auditor
Boyce, who retires with him. AS to
their successors, the general verdict is
that the Legislature has acted wisely
and wen in selecting them.

Baltimore papers are chanting jere-
niads over the failure Of the Chesapeake
oyster crop, and with abundant reason.
Ten or fifteen years ago the bay and its
tributaries yielded 100000 bushels Of
oysters annually and the Baltimore
market was sometimes so well supplied
that cargoes sold at prices ridiculously
low. But the dredgers gathered the
crop with reckless rapacity-every one
for himself and let those who were to
come after take what was left--and the
natural consequence has been the steady
diminution of the catch, until scarcely
100000 bushels were taken last year.
"Now," says Baltimore exchange,
"the supply for this year is prac-
tically exhausted, schooners are
leaving off their work, packing
houses are closed, and January not
yet gone. The oyster catch for the year
is mostly over, and Baltimore is actually
drawing upon northern markets for its
supply The only thing left to do is
to inaugurate properly regulated sys
TEN of oyster culture-the probability
of which has been demonstrated in Long
Island Sound and in the waters of
France, But whether what is impera-
lively necessary to be done in this
direction to replenish the supply shall
be conducted as a government enter
prise or whether combination of both

Like a parterre in full sum
mer bloom is the Silk aisle
these days. To be sure there
are stained glass windows at
either end, but they do not
create a dim, religious light
On the contrary the 'long-
drawn aisle" is luminous with
the most perfect pure white
light. In it the Spring Silks
are radient. You should see
them.
Look for a moment at the
Figured midas. Only they
are not. Frank, Teuton, and
Anglo Saxon have caught the
Monaghan art and impressed
it with ao00ca1 figures. A deli
cate touch to them like the
white and pale yellow of the
lily.
The real Indias are peren-
NAL and more highly cultivated
each year. We barbarians of
the West have never yet
equalled the peculiar fabrics Of
China and Japan. While
America was yet undiscovered
those nations were making
Silks much the same as now.
This year our selections have
fallen mostly upon the Japa-
nese with French and English
printing. The styles are gem
orally our own, and in some
two dress lengths control a
pattern. With them are the
Crepes de Chine and Benga-
lines. "Profusion" is made
quate to express the variety.

IN contrast to the maneuvering, desig

how to have jolly good time with dozen
boys She is interested in their schemes,

friends, sits quite naturally with two or
three of them, dividing her sandwich
between them while they bestow upon her
a liberal amount of their cake fruit or
candy. II sometimes one of the group In
his deep admiration OF her maidenly
charms forgets his substantial sandwich
and pauses to look abstractedly into her
honest charming face, he is not harmed
in the least, neither is she, for her head is
on straight; she looks at people through
right seeing eyes.

the word Science" in its designation. 81

things be, amid the blaze of Nineteenth
century enlightenment
Yes, they can be and are. Not often
perhaps do we hear the naive confession
II don't like that word science" but proofs
abound that multitudes of presumably ed
ucated people, many of them living in lux
ury made possible only by scientific inven
tion, dislike both the name and the thing.
They dislike the exactness of science, dim
as their apprehension of it may be; they
dislike It's methods; they dislike the stand
ard it sets up-truth, conformity to fact,
without regard to previously established
opinions.

The NOSE ArtIstlo DWELLING in Sew York

The Most Artistic Dwelling In New York.
Probably the most artistic as well as
beautiful house in New York is the home
of ex-Mayor Abram S. Hewitt, on the
southeast corner Of Lexington avenue and
| Twenty-second street, formerly the home
of his father-in- law, Peter Cooper. Within
the past few years the house has been thor
oughly remodeled and refurnished from
top to bottom. The great drawing room
which Is perfectly square, is decorated in
Louis XVI style, and for the most part is
furnished with articles of the same period
Crimson damask silk covers the walls, and
curtains of the same material drape the
windows, The center of the ceiling IL
dome shaped, and from the center hangs a
large alabaster lamp, mounted in gilded
bronze. Among the exquisite articles In
the room is Louis XIV harp, gilded and
carved, with its sounding board covered
with beautifully painted flowers and mu
steal instruments 1t is said to be repro
duction of the harp once owned by Marie
Antoinette.
The small drawing room, which is along
side of the larger apartment, is in Louis
XIV style, and in its furniture are seen
three distinct styles in vogue during the
reign Of that monarch. Pale silk of
greenish gray shade is used to cover the
walls The silken portieres are an exact
copy in texture, color and pattern of the
bedroom hangings designed by Philippe
de la Sale and presented to the Dauphin,
afterward Louis XVI, upon his marriage
with the Archduchess Marie Antoinette, by
the city of Lyons Oriental porcelans,
Chinese enamels and pieces Of rare china
fill the tables and cabinets.
Another beautiful room in Mr.. Hewitt's
mouse Is the dining room, thoroughly Re
naissance in style. Both ceiling and walls
are paneled in natural wood, the former
being copied from an original ceiling In one
of the old baronial houses of England. The
carved furniture and window hangings are
an exact reproduction of the period. Grim
son is the prevailing tint. A particularly
interesting feature of this room is the
painted freize about the entire room of
women and children playing with fruits
and flowers. 1t was purchased by Mr..
Hewitt off the walls of decaying Venetian
palace Other interesting places in the
house are the music room, the library,
which is on the first floor, and the marble

Nnursday'S storm In Minnesota Worse
Than First Reported.
ST. CLOUD, Aug. 1.-THE storm
proves to have been much more serious
Than at first supposed. Hail first began
10 fall, when the storm, which came
from the north reached Samuel Gill
mans farm, about three miles northeast
OF Sank Rapids, and from there almost
TO Elk river, in the extreme southern
part Of Sherburne county, distance Of
about forty miles, it was a perfect fury
In Benton county it's width varied
from half mile to mile and half,
and as It began to spread itself it broad
ened out to about four miles wide.
All corn and standing grain in its path
were utterly ruined, the immense stones
crushing them into the ground, and the
grain In shocks also suffered severely,
that being shocked in parallel rows with
no caps being threshed out. The grain
shocked with caps was not damaged 80
severely. Many men in hay and harvest
fields who were caught were badly
bruised and cut about the head by the
devasting downfall of hail.
In some places the hail was fifteen to
twenty inches deep on the level and
hours after the storm passed could be
shoveled up like snow. All the windows
on the exposed side of houses We're
smashed.
Twenty hours after the storms pass
ing, Captain William Smith, Of Minden,
brought to his city huge lump of snow
and ice which he had picked up ON his
farm. When he started from home the
monster was about two feet in diameter.
No conservative estimate can be made
OF the damage accomplished, but 1t
must Of necessity reach into the thou
sends.
