soon, the following are among the gowns
ordered:
An evening dress of white crepe de
Chine, trimmed with strings of pearls and
pearl embroidery. There is a broche train.
The sleeves are prettily opened from the
pearl clasps. A long pearl girdle hangs at
the side.
The wedding gown is of ivory Duchess
satin, trimmed with chiffon and point
lace. Orange blossoms are embroidered
from the shoulders down to the front of
the pointed bodice. White ostrich feather
trimming extends around the front and
sides of the foot of the skirt. The court
train is entirely unadorned and is nearly
four yards in length measuring from the
waist.
There is a travelling gown in electric
blue cloth, trimmed with gold and blue
passementerie. A band of beaver edges
the neck and revers of the bodice. and
also borders the dress skirt. Velvet forms
the material for the bodice, cuffs, collar
and band around the skirt above the
beaver.
As the bride-eIect is to marry an anna
teur sportsman, dress has been ordered
for tramps' over fields IN muddy and ali
kinds of weather. 1t is not a snorts-
nicely for honeymoon expeditions. It Is
of thick, soft, brown tweed A box

For twenty years the exclusive right to
kill seals has vested in the Alaska Com
mercial Company, but last year new COM
pany came to the front and made better
offer for the privilege, which was accepted
by Secretary Window The agent of the
govern ment is Charles J. Golf, and he al
lowed the new company to kill only 81 600
seals, on the plea that if it killed lou, 900, as
formerly, the seals would soCn be extermi-
mated. But as no females are ever killed
and as the surviving males are polygamists
to an astonishing extent, and as more COM
petent experts than Golf is declare that
seals are rapidly increasing. this opinion
and the reason given for reducing the
harvest must be taken with good deal
of salt.
Most Of the seals are killed on the Prib-
ilof islands, but they winter further south
and spend much of the year going and
coming on the surface of the great in
tervening ocean. So it is easy for poach-
ing vessels to intercept them and slay them
by wholesale, and if all who wish are per-
mitted to club the silky mammals while
swimming in Boring sea to and from their
northern breeding the whole of
the interesting race will soon be exter-
minated.
Half of the sealskin sacques in the world
come from these Pribilof islands, living in
Boring sea, two hundred miles from the
mainland. The two principal ones are
mere islets-St. Paul and ST. George-each
ten or twelve miles long and half as broad.
For two months in the summer of each
year the Aleuts, or natives, kill seals and
skin them; the other ten they lie around in
the twilight, never going to bed or taking

a warm day. and getting down into the
water in front Of the old Turks summer
residences and endeavoring with varying
success to draw the females into sly fiirta-
tons. Notwithstanding the fierce jealousy
with which these wives are watched and
guarded. and contrary to what would be
expected from their meek and sanctified
appearance, there are breaches of decorum
occasionally which no conscientious per-
son would attempt to defend.
In cases of elopement the gay Lothario
is generally handled generously, according
to the custom of the world in such cases,
and his guilty partner treated with great
severity. Her lord and master will gallop
through the family, knocking his other
wives right and left. bouncing over the
babies in his anger, and, overtaking the
fugitive female, thrashes her so soundly
with his fiippers that she puts up her lit
tie nose to his, kisses him in token of SUBJ
mission and reformation, and creeps back
apparently subdued and penitent.
Although these males abstain from food
and water absolutely for three months or
more, and must be faint and weak, they
are always ready for fight. They APP
proach with heads averted and furtive eye,
as if comically deprecating the row, but
when near enough they reach for each
other as quick as fash and utter as they
join battle continuous shrill piping
whistle; their eyes CLEAN wickedly, their
teeth gnash, their hair flies and their
blood flows. 1t is one of the most ex-
traordinary contests in which brutes can
indulge.
The breeding season is July; the females
bear their first young when three years
old, never bringing forth but one pup at
time, and the period of CESSATION is nearly
twelve months. The pups can not swim
during the first six weeks and will drown
at once if thrown into the water. They
learn to swim deliberately and systemati-
cally, as boys do.
This old fiction has been disproved. Seals
can swim an hour after birth. The testimony on
this point Is overwhelming-ED. PosT-INTELLI-
GENCER.]
A good many of the seals never take but
one mate, like certain homogeneous birds,
but this abstentation generally seems to
result from a conscious lack of physical
prowess. All that are tough and strong
practice polygamy and endure, with more
or less fortitude and patience, any GUAM
tity of mothers-in-law. Senator Sherman
insists that the habit which the Mormons
have of sealing" wives originated in
L-S-ka-the place of the seal.

Where Are Our Orators:

Here is an announcement that was made
before New York audience a few DAYS
ago in public lecture on "Oratory'' by
Mr.. Daniel Dougherty: ''In this country
of speech-makers the orators can be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
which means, / suppose, that there are
but four or five OF them. Mr.. Dough-
erty doubtless used the word orators in
a high sense, the sense in which we
apply it to the few master of elo-
quence in all time. Now, then, have we
four or five of them? If SO. I wish
that the lecturer had gwen US some ac7
count of them. Who are thew What
are their names? Are any of them in con-
gress, or at the bar, or in the pulpit, or on
the stump? Have We any one of them
here in New York and, if so, who is he?
/ should like to have Mr.. Dougherty an
swer these questions, and then demon
strate the truth of his answers. It would
be interesting to have him do it, and to
find any ten people who would agree with
him.

The farmers of the United States,
who at this time are close and in
terested observers of the ups and
downs of prices in the grain markets,
will see that the recent drop in
European prices was instantly follow
ed by a proportionate falling off in
prices in the home market. This
shows that the price paid for our sur
plus by foreigners fixes the price of
the whole crop. 1t ought also to
show the farmer that, while he is
obliged to sell his wheat, corn, cotton,
pork, beef and other staples of his
production for what he can get in
open competition with all the rest of
the world, he is cut off from the ad-
vantage Of buying his clothing, tools
salt, lumber, fuel and other neces
saries of living in cheaper markets
AS a seller he competes with the low
est sellers; as buyer he is obliged tc
buy in the dearest market. In other
words, he is made to carry on his
broad back all the puny and starveline
industries which cannot be sustained
except by means of such compulsor,
assistance.-RecOrd.

nation OF the voters by it's misdeeds

Pesonally General Gregg is a man of
irreproachable character, but he stands
as the candidate of a party which has
betrayed its trust and which is now
using every effort to cover up the ex-
tent of the betrayal, Gregg, if elect
ed, must use his Office, for the sake of
the party's reputation, in hindering

IT is amusing to see the organs of

John Bardsley to jail. The men whom
they refer to did nothing more than
their duty, and did that only when
the pressure of public opinion could
be resisted no longer. The web Of
evidence which convicted Bardsley
was gathered by Democratic Council

which is claimed for Republicans.

IURY COMMISSIONER.
THE CANDIDATES.
Who the Men Are That Were Nominated
by the Democrats.

Hon. John Lynch, who was unani-
mously nominated for Additional Law
Judge, is native of Providence, r. l.,
where he was born November l, 1913 |
His father, who had come from Ireland
thirteen years before, moved with his
family to Nesquehoning in 1916, where
they continued to reside until 1864 when
they removed to Wilkes-Barre. Johns
general education was gotten at Wyalus-
ing and Wyoming Seminaries and his
education in the law was acquired under
ex-Judge Harding. His admission to
the bar was in September, 1865, and on
May II, 1891, he was appointed to his
present position by Governor Pattson.
Judge Lynch is lawyer of sound iudg-
ment and fearless in the presentation
and maintenance of his convictions. He
has won many signal victories in the
courts, both civil and criminal. He is
of serious mien and looks more the Judge
than the advocate, but behind the placid
exterior are all the qualities of the genial
gentleman. Since he has been upon the
bench his work has been warmly ap.
plauded by all who have noted it, and
has even compelled the plaudits of those
who are his enemies politically and will
for partisan reasons only, oppose his
election.
