Allianca Notes.

Principle Alliance has received its
charter and books from the secretay of
the State Alliance and will no doubt
speedily build up strong and active
Alliance, there being mnch good mate
rial in that neighborhoodt to draw from.
This is the twentieth sub.alliance that
has been organized on the eastern shore
counties of the state within the last
five months. The relentless war of
SANDER. misrepresentation and de-
famination that is being made on all
farmer associations and especially the
Alliance, by the monopoly daily press
ought to incite every farmer to rally to
the support of the cause that is battling
against this gigantic money aristocracy
which has crushed the agricultural in
terest under mortgage debt of billions
which is recorded in nine million of
mortgages which an English superin-
tendent of census is endeavoring to con-
ceal.
Rising Sun Alliance completed
arrangements at the last meeting to
b old their meetings In the K. of P Hall
at Colora, and will meet weekly during
the winter on Tuesday evenings at Z
o clock. All the members are urged to
attend the next meeting and pay up the
dues of the present and last quarter OF
the year. It is hoped that members
will not neglect this duty. Those who
may be unable to attend, can send their
dues to either the secretary at Rising
Sun or Mr.. Arther NJ. Tosh, sect. pro-
tenn, Coiora. Arrangements will be
made for lectures at the meetings
through the winter to interest and
instruct members in the importance Of
the work.

More swlndlers About.

Stephen Walton, well known and
prosperous farmer residing near Iron
Hill station, on the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore railroad.
about three miles from Elkton.
mourns the loss of one the finest
farms in that neighborhood. in ex
change for which he holds Baltimore
city houses mortgaged to their full
value.
About two weeks ago an advertise
ment appeared in one of the county
papers offering improved Baltimore
city property in exchange for farm.
As Mr.. Walton was DESTROYS of dis
posing Of bis property to locate in
the West he answered the advertise.
ment, and was visited by man
named Johnson. who said he was
agent for one j. Matthews. He was
shown over the property and seemed
pleased with it, and in turn invited
Mr.. Walton to Baltimore to look at
the houses.
5On his arrival In the city he was
shown several houses, but on
examining the records it was found
that the property was heavily mort
gagged. This did not suit Mr.. Walton,
so be was shown four houses in a
locality which he liked. The suppos-
ed agent told him there was no use
to examine the records, 90 this pro-
perty was not encountered. Mr..
Walton accepted his word for it and
the transfer was made Mr.. Walton
deciding his farm and personal pro
perty to Matthews In return he re.
ceived deed for four houses. Mr..
Matthews commenced at once to
harvest the crops and move every
thing off the farm and sell everything
of value. All the stock was sacrific-
ed. This caused Mr. Walton to be.
come suspicious. On employing
counsel he found that the property
for which he held the deed was mort.
gagged for it's full value. Mr.. Wal
toms personal property, which has
all been disposed Of. was valued at
so, QUO. Mr.. Walton said nothing
about the exchange until too late to
recover anything. The houses are
situated in the negro quarters of the
city. A M. Dennis Reesade, formerly
of Baltimore. but now residing in this
county, is said to have acted as Mr..
Walton's adviser.
The above was published in Mon

the honest rank and file were disgust
ed and no doubt believe that their
leaders were working under orders
from Wall street and did not desire
the election of their candidate. It
was money in their pockets to have
their party beaten. The Ohio cam

More money more work, more work
more wealth, and the more products we
have to sell the more gold will flow In
to buy them. IT matters not what our
money is composed of If 1t is the means
of employing labor in productive in
dustry. those products when sold
abroad will purchase other products
which our people need. or they will
purchase the gold of England or the
silver of silver money countries. When
we had neither silver or gold money
the industrial classes of this country
were the most prosperous; farmers
made more money and acquired more
property than ever before or since.
What has happened will happen again

C,,ean Dress Goods.

1t is astonishing how cheap certain
lines of dress goods are in New York this
year. In the first place there is the all
wool Henrietta, which can be bought in
all the fashionable colors at about fifty
cents yard, forty-four inches wide;
serges, in stripes and plain, at from forty
five to sixty-fye cents; homespuns,
from thirty cents up; shepherd checks
and light weight cheviot, from fifty
cents, and palmer quality, which is
part cotton, from twenty-five cents up.
Double width cashmeres, all wool, in
fairly good quality, can be bought for
from forty-nine cents to sixty cents per
yard, and numbers of styles of outing
cloths and veilings and colored fannels
sell as low as fifteen cents yard. The
very finest quality of French sateens is
thirty-fve cents a yard, and it needs ten
yards for a dress, with about one dol
lars worth of ribbon for trimming,
which is cheap for such II handsome
gown as sateen makes. There are sew
eral kinds of alpaca and crystalette,
which cost fifty cents, and dress of
this, aside from Innings, is but s.. Cot
ton goods cost from four cents to twenty
five cents per yard, and make very
pretty gowns, which are decidedly the
fashion for people Of the highest posi-
ton, and when these are made every
thing is done and finished as if they
were silk gowns, SO that they are really
elegant.

The long wrap in the illustration is Of
dark blue cloth, trimmed with three rows
of velvet ribbon all around the bottom
and the cape, while the plastron front is
richly braided in black soutache. There
is doubled rulie of the cloth all around
the plastron, which is very becoming to
slight persons. This style of wrap is
much liked
Velvet is to be a favorite material for
wraps for carriage and visiting, and they
are garnished in various ways, the most
elegant being silk embroidery, and the
most popular being passementerie with
fine jet and silk and chenille fringe.
When velvet jacket is worn it gives
q curious effect of being cut in two, so
little does velvet jacket harmonize
with any other material. SO it is better
to have long tabs TO the wrap in front,
which alters that appearance to one Of
unity and grace.
A very beautiful little wrap for warmer
days has V shaped plastron in front
and back of rich black velvet, trimmed
with fine cut jet beads. worked directly
on the velvet Below this was a ruffle
of black faille, and this was edged with
full rutfle Of Chantilly lace. 1t fastens
at the waist front and back with black
velvet satin faced ribbon with long
ends. Others in the same form and

saved nealth and renny, Too.

Amusing incidents often are met with
on the streets, in which those who are
the central figures are totally oblivious
of the part they are taking. A night or
two ago poorly clad child, with her
mother, was gazing anxiously into a
confectionery store window on Broad
way, Camden. The mother was en-
deavoring to break piece from pretzel
which the child held in her hand. The
little one, about years old, was appeal
ing to the mother for penny with
which to buy some candy. The woman
dropped the basket on her arm, and
startled the child and those around by
exclaiming:
mo, no, my tear child, dot will not do
for you; your nanny loves her little
girl. When yea cat dot candies it makes
you feel so bad yust like when you takes
dot castor OIL" The child did not re-
quire second warning, and with a
smile the woman picked up the basket,
munched the pretzel and walked up the
street. PHILADELPHIA Press.

with excellent taste. For those of

woman's Advance in Forty Years.

Miss Charlotte Yonge has been looking
back over forty years and telling her
readers in The Monthly Packet, an En-
g.ish newspaper, what changes she has
seen wrought in the position of English
girls. ''In those days." she writes,
''young ladies could not walk in London
unattended, could not go in t; hanson,
did not travel alone by railway, nor, in
deed, were third class carriages used by
any one above the rank of a laborer. AS to
university training, hospitable nursing,

out of reach as commanding q ship. The

To break bread with one of these is

Second, that frugality united with

Third, that poverty develops ingenuity
to a degree undreamed of where money
is plentiful.
Two serious illnesses greatly reduced
the young woman's capital, so she began
small But time and her friends have
been good to her, so that she is acquir
ing some real art treasures and originat-
ing many ingenious devices. There is
no time to speak of the former, though
everything interests because it has a
special history. The place indicates
growth, not accretion, and its mistress
says, s'Nothing has been bought in the

'Loaned indefinitely" says the pre-

A remark about the couch luxurious
with down cushions elicits the same re-
ply.
A steamer chair stands before the
CRATE, and over it is thrown an old puf-
falo coat, fur side up. Within reach as
one reclines is the ltterateurs desk,
very orderly. Under it is a soap box,
with little handles at each end When
she wishes to use its contents-it is her
sewing box-she can, without rising,
pull it ont beside her, open the lid, on
the under side of which are elastics and
pockets to hold all the implements for
setting the proverbial stitch in time, use
them, and put the box away when done.
This contrivanee is only one of q num-
Der which show that poverty develops
ingenuity. Another in her bedroom re-
sembles this. 1t is a shoe box. The lid
is hinged, and when lifted discloses
straps for CATERS, shoe horn and but
toners. 1t serves also as hassock.
