TURDAY MORNING, APRIL.1l, 1891.

convenient and becoming, suited to all professions and to all varieties of weather seems to be one of the many needs of the hour. The Seymour idea for such skirt provides Turkish trousers or Knicker- lockers concealed by 8 short, full dress. Over this is worn vest and jaunty walk ing jacket with any number of pockets. The Jenness-M Miller idea is much the same. The coat is of Continental pattern, and long boot-tops are made of cloth to match the skirt Neat little toques complete the outfit. These dresses would be quite be- coming to young, slender business woman, but the elderly and corpulent business woman, so arrayed, would excite s'the inextinguishable laughter of the gods," to say nothing of the merriment of irreverent men.
 Is it not little odd that while reading of discussions, interviews, and ideas up on this interesting subject one lights up- on an article describing the tresses pro vided for mani Ferdinand, Prince of Bulgaria, it seems has a passion for femin- inc fipperies One of his morning gowns is of electric blue, silk-lined with surah, and interlined with cider down. The trimming is of passementerie in which beads of electric blue and cut steel are mingled. A sash of soft brocaded ribbon; a white surah shirt with ruffles of point lace; divided skirt or something like it, of old-rose brocade; blue stockings em- broidered with old-rose floss, and slippers of blue brocade complete this charming costume. The buttons are stud ded with brillisnts, and the Turkish cap of satin is surrounded by a diamond aigrette. Another gown for even ing wear is of amber brocade, lined with yellow satin, and trimmed with amber beads and fluffy bands of yellow ostrich tips The shirt is of yellow silk, with puffed front and ruff1es of mousseline de soie-a symphony of yellow tones.
 The question will come up: Are there not many business women who would dis card business gladly and array them selves in just such ''dreams" in old-rose, blue,- and yellow, if they only coulda Another question is: If all women seek business life and take it at last out of the hands of men, will they adopt pro fessional costume altogether and leave ''the changeable suits of apparel, and the mantIes, and the wimples, and the crisp ing pins, the fine linen, and the hoods, and the veils'' for the adornment of their brothers? One thing is sure, the brothers will never adopt them permanently if they have to keep house, and go up stairs a hundred times day with both hands full, and stepping upon their skirt hems at every stair. A housekeeping dress for women that shall allow freedom of action is as necessary as a convenient business costume. Let inventive women turn their thoughts to this matter also.

UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRANTS.


 How to keep undesirable immigrants out of this country is Q pressing question. Everybody is convinced that something should be done, but how to do it is not plain. The same question is up in Eng land The British government has found it necessary to adopt measures to keep out of Great Britain the Undesirable persons" who are arriving there in great numbers from continental ports. These undesira- ble persons are described as "alien pau pers'' and until recently they reached Eng land in ships from Antwerp and Hamburg. When steps had been taken to check their influx by that route it was found that they then took passage for England at ports of the Black sea and the Baltic, and that there was large increase of their number. An important measure, which is intended to prepare the way for other measures for the stoppage of this migration, has just been adopted by the British government. It has issued an order that all aliens arriving 1 at any port in Great Britain from any other country of Europe shall be officially regis
 
 send in monthly reports to the board of trade.
 An excellent regulation is said to exist in Sweden, that every person intending to emigrate shall secure a certificate of good conduct from the pastor of the parish. The Lutheran pastor in Sweden is civil officer as we'll as an ecclesiastic, and has supervision over the free schools which have enabled Sweden to take highest rank for the literacy of her people among all the nations of Europe. The pastor who gives certificate knows, therefore, the facts upon which it is given, and the emf grants whose character is thus attested art not likely to belle the recommendations
 One thing is certain, and that is that emi
 grants from Sweden to this country art
 we'll worth having.

to know porter who made $160 in 8 month. That's the highest I ever heard of porter making. In the East porter seldom gets more than quarter from a passenger, no matter how far he runs or how much work he does. Porters in the West can make the most money, and especially those o1 emigrant cars, which, west of Omaha, are patronized by good class of people. There's nothing in being porter in the East any more."

Our Fair.

The Fourteenth Annual Exhibition of
the Butler Co. Agricultural Association
will be held on their grounds at Butler, on
Sept. s, 8, 10, and IL, 1891. Many new
features have been added to the Premium
List this year, the most important of
which is that the premiums offered are
largely increased and are now fully double
the amount offered by the surrounding as
sociations, for horses and cattle; and be-
sides this premium is offered for the best
herd of cattle, of cattle, of either Short
horn, Holstein or Jerseys, SO that all class
es of stock raisers will have an opportunity
to show their stock and compete for good
premium. Special offers in the fruit and
vegetable departments ought to induce
strong competition, while the poultry fan
cier will also be rewarded with handsome
premium if he examines the list in that de-
partment and comes up to the require
ments. Altogether the list is so re arrang-
ed as to be interesting to all classes, As
the Butler Fair is one of the largest held
in the state let our people interest them
selves in keeping up its good record by
bringing articles of merit for exhibition.
The management are busy putting every
thing in shape on the grounds-and have
already built large block of stalls and
will have the grounds as neat and trim as
time and money will make them.

Butler county has Q remarkable case of
incendiarism on hands.
On Friday night of last week some one.
yet unknown placed "wsste" saturated
with oil at the front and back doors of the
residence Of Mr.. Henry Morrison, on the
John Dufford farm, near Petersville, and
set it on fire.
1t happened that Mrs. Morrison was suf-
fering from neuralgia that night, and both
she and her husband were awake during
the night, aud they heard the cracking Of
the flames before they had made much
headway. Mr.. Morrison went down to his
back door and found the weather boarding
by it burning, and with bucket or two Of
water extinguished that fire; then he went
to the front door and did the same there;
and had hardly finished that till he noticed
that his barn was in flames; and it, with
all his crops which had just been harvest
cd, his farming implements, etc., were
burned. His stock, fortunately, was in
the fields.
Mr.. Morrison moved to the Dufford farm
from Harrisville, some time ago. He is
about so years of age, has grown up child
rem at home, and has no idea as to who
could bear him such great malice.
