[C. D. F. in the New York Evening Post
 Suitings, as they are termed, still show line-stripe effects, plaids, diagonal blocks, and broad stripes in russet with rich Ori ental colors, or in the new lighter color mixtures of cream or gray, with English rose, strawberry, pale tan, reseda, etc. Scotch cheviots are very popular, having been used alike by tailors and dressmakers for travelling and walking-gowns. There are also serges, and very Englishlooking bourettes and similar soft rough surfaced costumes that appear among the mannish- looking gowns, to which are added all the masculine accessories which many fashion able women have appropriated.
 An uncommon-lo looking visiting toilet is composed of pale chamois cloth trimmed with bands of absinthe-green feathers. The collar is of dark green velvet lined with chamois silk, and a curious little French pelerine of the velvet forms loose hanging over sleeves, also silk lined. This cape is only over the arms, showing the handsome bodice below, both front and back. The sheath skirt is bordered with a band of the plumage, which is brought up diagonally to the left side of the waist, Deducu tN0TyWuere DS ITCH green anu gold embroidery Embroidered cuffs fin ish off the light sleeves, which have a vel vet drapery at the top.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the long three-quarter jackets are la mode, it is still question whether they will prove a general success or not. They cut the fig ure in halves, and are by no means as smart-looking as the medium French coat Nevertheless, royalty has smiled upon them, the ladies' tailors are making them up of their most stylish and expensive materials, ultra-fashionable American peo- pie are already wearing them, and the i'm porters and modistes are singing their praises to all their best customers

THE FAILING ALLIANCE.

1H E F FAlLlNG ALLAANCE.
 The Farmers alliance is already show ing signs of it's inevitable dissolution. It started off by demanding everything. It has been trying to get something, and has had very little success. For instance, the work of the Kansas legislature has been n distinct disappointment to the alliance members, who came to Topeka intending to institute all sorts of reforms, but return to their constituents without having accomplished any of the most radical of them. Among the reforms which failed to become laws, because of the opposition of the Republican majority in the senate, were: The bill to reduce railroad fares to two cents a mile; the minimuM freight bill; the mortgage bond and secu1ity tax bill; the waiver of ap- praisement bill, and the bill reducing the salaries of county and State officers.
 The farmers of the West are learning that there is such thing as too much hostility to railroads. They are finding that the railroads are as useful as the farmers are to the railroads They are also finding that if they want eastern capi- tai to develop their farms with they must keep their agreements With the eastern capitalists. They learning some other things. The rise of the order known as the Knights of Reciprocity, which is op- posed in principle to the alliance, indi- cates that education is making it's way, and that some of the farmers are learning that the best and most profitable bargains are those in which both sides receive ar advantage.
 An alliance based on unsound and dis honest ideas cannot expect success in this country. There are too many inte lligent and honest people here to pei init it.

IT ADiAi NSS NiAANtASN AAiAtA-NNSN1-A
 MT. Edward Daniel Betts is an artist and q man with n sharp eye. He read the other day about some hunter on the plains who was pursued by a relentless cyclone. In sheer desperation the hunter turned and fired his trusty rife at the rapidly sp- preaching funnel-shaped cloud. Instant ly the wind began tn lose it's nerve. and in less than A minute the landscape WAS as beautiful as a day in June
 Mr. Eetts shut himself up and wrestled with the secrets of nature. At last he struck pay gravel, and his patent is ap- piled for.
 ''lt is large rubber ball filled with gun cotton or dynamite, he explained yester- day. which will be hurled with terrific force at the advancing cyclone. The ex- plosiye will have fuse to it which will be ignited automatically"
 He further explained that the propelling instrument was so arranged that it always pointed at the cyclone. The ball was thrown after the wind had attained 0 cer- tain velocity.
 Mir. Betts has had great deal of trouble in arranging this last detail. For he found that if he set it at too low a notch the machine would go of in a stiff breeze and throw the rubber ball of dynamite over into a neighboIing pasture or down into a COW lot, doing great and immediate damage to the cows without any material advantage. Then again, if the machine were set too high, it would not get into nc tive operation until after the entire family had crossed the Dark river and the cyclone was in the next county
 MT. Betts says there is no question but that dose of dynamite will knock any cyclone cold. The machine can be put on high pole out of the reach of goats and | children.

 From the London Correspondence of the Fig
 aro.l
 1 have just had an interview with his Eminence Cardinal Manning, Archbishop of Westminster and arbitrator of the workmen, whose bold and wise theories have recently been highly approved by M. Maynard. 1 was received at the Archbish- ops house, where, after having climbed several flights of pontifcally white stairs, I entered large and luminous apartment, well stocked with scientific books and or namented with portraits, busts and bron- zes of the English cardinal. In few mo- ments door was opened and the cardinal appeared-a tall old man, whose nervous and ascetic head reminds one of Leo XIII. He has the nose of an eagle, long, thin cheeks, and under a foreheard wrinkled by thought are two blue eyes, both smil- ing and melancholy, and with such an in tensity of animation that they appear to look through half-closed eyelids.
 The cardinal thanked me for offering to him the occasion to express in the leading French journal those social ideas, the study of which has been the aim of his life.
 ''There is a good deal of talk in France at present." said I, 'about Catholic social ism and about new movement in the Christian party. At time when our bishops are about to discuss social ques. tions, the Figaro thought that it would be interesting to have the impressions of c prelate celebrated for his socialistic theo. ries and convictions"
 "Oh" said the cardinal, 'tin that simple phrase there is great deal" and he bent over me and fixed upon me his jeering and yet kindly ascetic eyes, as full of divine

had signed Johns will. There wasn't the slightest doubt of the intentions of both parties. The two wills were there, the witnesses who knew the intentions ex- pressed at the time were there,-but the supreme court has now decided, after taking plenty of time to think of it, that Mir. Nelson's property, all of which he in- tended and directed should go to his wife, must go to his other heirs, excepting the dowry right which he could neither give nor take away by will.
 Senator Peffer has scheme by which he thinks it would be possible to redeem every mortgaged home in the country within fifteen years. He would have the government loan money at the actual ex- pense of doing the business. In his own town is money lending concern whose business aggregates s2,000, 900 year, and he says that the company's expenses amount to only $20,000 annually, or one per cent. of the amount loaned. With this as basis of argument MT. Peffer says that what 8 private concern can do can be accomplished by the government. and if the latter would loan money at one per cent. the people would be the gathers, and the private money lenders would suffer He demands that Uncle Sam immediately issue $500, 0,000, ,000 in one dollar bills. This he would have loaned as fast as it was called for, ten per cent. of each loan to be paid each year, nine per cent to be used to reduce the princi- pal and one per cent. covering the inter est Big idea.
 The finest coin collection in Boston, says 8 numismatist of that city, ''is that of Parmelee, baker up in East Chester Park. He bakes nothing but beans-Boston baked beans-and all the money he makes he puts into old coins. His collection is worth between $40, ,000 and S50,000 He had complete set of American silver dol lars-the only set in Boston, to my knowl- edge. What makes this set hard to fill is the scarcity of dollars of 1904. There are only some thirteen or fourteen of these in ex- istence, and they are worth S700 apiece. I don't believe there are any floating around the country undiscovered. The dealers know where every one of these dozen and odd coins is, and can't be i'm posed upon by a counterfeit, for the great value of this particular coin has caused it to be counterfeited, or, rather, to be imi- tated, by taking dollars of 1901 date and e. 1ote ,oc@1 @1a., in circulation, and while occasionally they catch some country amateur, no ex- pert is for an instant deceived. Next to Parmelee's collection, the finest one in Boston is that of Nathan Appleton, of Beacon street. There are hundreds of col leetors here, and the aggregate value of their coins is probably greater than that of those in any city in this country outside of New York;
