Gladstone is Gaining.

Astorian. Gladstone is gaining. Eng
land which is at heart liberal, seems re-
solved to shake off Tory government
which by combination with renegade
liberals has managed to. retain power
since 1885. Gladstone has shown mas
terly sagaeity in dealing with the home
rule question He has not allowed the
public mind to be diverted from the
principle of justice to Ireland by going
into minor details His plan in gem
eral way is TO give Ireland home govern
ment with representation in the i'm
perial parliament. This ought to re-
move all British fears that Gladstone in
tends to dismember the empire.

An Old w haler.

Buffalo Express. One of the points of
interest today will be the ocean vessel
Progress, which lies at anchor in the
outer harbor. She is bound for the
Worlds Fair and will lie abreast the
Fish Commission Building, a true rep

business and has known the day when
the return loaded with oil and blubber-

Pole meant a small fortune to those
chiefly interested in the enterprise. The
Progress cleared directly from New
Bedford for Chicago, and arriving here
on Saturday from Port Colborne in tow
of the tug Augusta. She will remain
here till tomorrow and will be an object
of interest to all who are inclined to be
curious, as she is full bark-rigged three

The state OF Trade.

Telegram. The: condition of local
trade today was practically unchanged
as compared with the preceding day. In
some lines notably in produce, there
was a tone of quietness, but the general
average movement. was good and, con-
sidered fairly active. Summer fruits are
in active demand, and the; situa-
ton, was quite satisfactory. to
dealers. Strawberries and cherries are
becoming scarce and higher in price.
Receipts have been largely reduced dur
ing the past few days; The prices for
apricots and peaches are steady, and
although the receipts. are increasing
daily, prices are maintained at a. very
high standard. Figs are in good supply
and the demand is improving. The in
auiry for red currents is lively and con-
signments are barely sufficient to meet
the requirement of trade. The price is
steady and firm. New potatoes are quite
active and firm in price. Choice ranch
eggs are still firmly held at advanced
rates, and the supply which is not ex-
cessive, meets with ready sale. Poultry,
which was very dull last week, is. reviv-
ing. The wool business continues active
and prices firm. Staple groceries are in
active demand, and prices are un-
changed. Cereals are dull.

NO LEGAL COMPLICATIONS RISE.

HoMEsPEAD, Pa, July S.-Homestead
is strangely silent this morning. It is
quiet and sober after the fight. Its
leaders are wondering what will be the
next step. Men are bathing their
wounds and preparing to bury the dead.
The leaders propose TO have the fence
around the Carnegie property rebuilt and
repair: all other damage by the fight,
with the view of preventing suits by the
company. Guards to look after the in
terests of the company are renewed.
There was much surprise here over the
release by the sheriff and sending away
of the .Pinkerton guards. When the
workmen agreed not to kill them it was
understood that the guards would be
placed in Jail until information for muir
der could be sworn out against them.
The report of their release excited much
angry discussion at first, but it quieted
down when the men remembered that if
they appeared against the Pinkertons as
witnesses they themselves would be
liable to prosecution for riot. The feel
ing then became one of relief that no
legal complications would arise out of
yesterdays hloodshed. The call of the
sheriff for a posse is received with good
natured derision, as they are confident
the posse could not be collected. Men
this morning removed the barricades and
restored things to their normal condition
as far as possible. The men are conf
of hot
mined to preserve the peace locally, will
brook no outside interference.
Secretary Loveioy,, of the Carnegie
steel company, says number of strikers
will be arrested, charged with murder.
He declares the last outbreak has settled
one thing, and that is that hereafter no
union men will be employed by the Car
negie company, and that other mill
owners will probably follow it's example.

THE NEED OF coon ROADS.
or Greater Benefit to the Country Than
.,.i. Cheap Money.

.. s,.si.:.. Cheap Money. 49,
The papers of Oregon and Washington
are keeping up the fight for better roads,
and it ought to have some good effect
finally. Good, roads are of more import
iance to farmers, and even to business
men of the cities, than government
storehouses and two per cent. ioans, adj
mitting that these are meritorious.
Every farmer should JOIN in the demand
for batter wagon roads. and be willing
to- help. build them.s A. week.. even a
month; out of each year for twoor; three
years spent in building roads would be
one of the best investments of time and
labor they could make. The saving of
horsefesh, of wear and. tear of wagons
and farm implements, of time in going
to town, or from one place to another in
consequence of the expenditure of time
and labor caused by bad roads, would be
intellectually great; but beyond that the
vastly increased value of county and
farm property, and the added comfort
and ease, would richly repay all the. ef-
forts put forth. The. legislature has
done something toward helping to build
roads,in mountainous and sparsely set
tied regions, but the supreme court has
checked its efforts in this direction,
which is not to be regretted, because
road legislation was becoming a danger
GUS foundation for all sorts of objection
able legislative log-rolling. The best
way is for the counties, as they are now
authorized to do, to levy a 5-mill tax for
roads, and see that the funds thus col
lected are well expended; and then for
every neighborhoed, every settlement,
every farmer, every citizen, to take hold
of the work with local pride and zeal and
public spirit, and work out their own
salvation.

HEADGEAR.
NAPIER AND THE SWORDSMAN.
How the English General Was Convinced by
Juggler's Feat.


From the Chicago Herald.
After Napier's battles with the Hindoos OPP
posed to the English a famous juggler visited
the camp and performed his feats before the
general, his family and staff. Among other per-
formances this man cut in two, with a stroke
of his sword, a lime or lemon placed in the hand
of his assistant. Napier thought there was
some COLLISION between the juggler and his re-
tanner. To divide by sweep of the sword SO
small an object on mans hand without touch
ing the flesh he believed to be impossible
though similar incident is related by Scott in
his romance of the ''Talisman." To determine
the point the general offered his own hand for
the experiment and he stretched out his right
arm. The juggler looked very attentively at
the hand and said that he would not make the
experiment.
II thought would find you outr' exclaimed
Napier.
''But stop" added the other: 'Iet me see
your left hand" The left was submitted, and
the man then said firmly: IF you viii hold
your arm steady will perform the feat
''But why the left hand and not the right?"
Because the right hand is hollow in the
center, and there is risk of cutting off the
thumb; the left is high, and the danger will be
less"
Napier was startled. II got frightened" he
said. II saw ID was an actual feat of delicate

THE SUMMER JACKET.
No summer girl can pronounce her outfit
complete unless it contains a jacket Of some
sort, and if she has pretty figure she will never
consent to hide it under shapeless coat. for
the summer girl, no matter how frivolous and
thoughtless she may appear to be in matters of
sentiment, when it comes to the practical
concerns of life you will find her extremely
long headed. She knows that men are coy and
beauty fleeting, and she also knows that there
Is no time like the present, for who can tell
whether the same fish will be in fashions pond

Some very stylish jackets have the fronts
cut away and others have close. high vest
braided thickly, or the fronts are turned back
and braided and the vest is plain and fastened
with frogs or barrel buttons. Fine silky vicuna
in q warm tone of brown sets off delightfully."- the
tints of the skirt. Usually fronts are braided
from the bust down and the back is finished
to correspond. In my last picture you see
represented a natty little jacket in white
cloth with collar of gray surah. The dress
material is black and pale-gray striped pekin,
the gray stripe having applique velvet designs
in pink and dark green. The bonnet is Of
white pleated crep de chine, dark green
small leaves and a big butterfly. No
doubt there will be many to affect the mannish
attire again this season, style of outdoor
dress in which the English women fairly revel.
And the fact is the jacket bodice. opening on q
real shirt front relieved by a deep sash. is very
becoming to the red-cheeked robust girl, who
always has an air of being half minded to walk
over the bodies of her frail sisters. For this
style of girl the so-called Eton coat is well
adapted. 1t is simply basqueless corsage,
with broad lapels opening on blouse or surah
shirt 1t is well suited for rough wear, when
boating, picnieking or tramping. The straight
collar and four-in-hand tie go with it.
HEADGEAR.
In the way of headgear the summer girl bids
fair to get quite back to the days of her great
grandmother, as the very names Mother Hub

Welsh Peasant indicate. The Mother Hub

worn by that pleasant dame of our nursery
days, the crown inclining backward, fising in
a narrow oval peak to the height of five or six
inches, with a brim of curled edge tipped

the back. This unique model looks charming
in beige-colored Milan straw, the brim faced
with a welt of velvet in beige color, a welt of
the velvet around the crown forming knot at
the front, which holds an Alsatian bow of
French Grape in straw color and "A great wide

tween Heaten, Norris, Blackpeol, Manchester,
Oldham, Rochdale, Bury and Broughton.
Weston, the abstainer, only completed 5000
