LOVE OVER ALL.

LOVE OVER ALL
Riches are naught. a jewel crown
Nay be undone. and gold will melt
But an ended pain is long, long felt.
Kisses are sweet, but prayers are best;
Only the lips to kiss are given,
While the soul goes. with its prayer, to
heaven.
Dreams are shadows, yet sometimes come
Like blessed curtains that drop upon
The scorching Ii ght OF a MONDAY sun.
Hopes betray us, but Faith is sure,
Nor asks for an answer, She smiles and
waits,
A patient child at the heavenly gates.

A pain that stays, AMI prayer, kiss,

Evening journal., 1892-11-11

Two Of the very prettiest dresses I
have seen this year were made on a
model that any one could follow. One
was of hunters green faille cut prin-
cess, with the upper part of the waist
filed in, and the sleeves made Of apple
green crepe de chine. The corsage had
two very narrow silver braids outlining
the PEASANTS bodice, and straps of
hunters green velvet. A narrow belt
and sash ends We're made Of apple green
ribbon. This color can be worn only by
a pure, peachy blond. In different
russet browns, blues or any other be-
coming color or material it would be
quite as taking dress.
The other was Of cadet blue cash
mere, with a pretty passementerie Of
black and gold. The dress was cut en-
tirely en- princesse. A very odd and
graceful effect was obtained by drap-
ing a width Of white crepe de chine
from the bust TO the hips, and then let
ting it fall to the bottom Of the skirt on
each side. 1t is very simple and yet
gives quite an elaborate appearance.
The sleeves are balloon, with the fore
arm covered with the passementeries.
This, however, is not necessary, and
they could be plain or Of other material
if pr@ferred.
notice among the new evening and
dancing dress materials a beautiful new
silk tissue. 1t comes in all the evening
colors, and among them pea green and
apple green, two shades that light up
beautifully. This tissue is plain and
striped. The plain is lighter, but the
striped gives a very fine effect, and much
variety can be brought out by different
ways of cutting the tissue. 1t is sitter
than chiffon and stronger than tulle, and
makes the ideal dancing dress.
The prettiest slippers in the world are
seen now for dancing. They are Of white,
pearl gray and black, as well as Of some
delicate tints, and are made of undressed
kid, with rather high red or black heels,
and the toes round up TO the pertest little
point, as if they were just ready to twin
kle off in a frolicsome dance and could
hardly keep still. Some few have fino
steel or pearl beads worked on them,
but the most are plain. The plain ones
look smaller ON the feet.
White silk stockings are now the new
est and prettiest. There are those Of
other colors, but white, with dainty
null skirts, with their plume rufles, are
quite too pretty for anything.
There is a strong leaning toward hand
crocheted lace for trimming all under
garments now. Hamburg edgings are
made by machinery and have become
too common, imitation laces do not wear
well or look well after q washing, and
real lace cannot bear many washings,
and hand embroidery has not the light
ness that seems to belong to the fineness
of finish necessary to underwear. Gro
cheted trimming is strong, durable,
pretty and has an unmistakable appear
ance of patient hand labor, so it is now
the trimming. Yokes and sleeves to
chemises are made Of it, insertions and
rufiles for drawers are crocheted, and
it surely is the right thing in the right
place for once. Dainty baby ribbons
are run through the meshes and tied in
bewitching little knots.

NEW CASTLE. Nov. 11.-Nobody, who
came 20 New Castle, would think that
the Democrats had gained any victory to
see the depression that exists here over
the defeat of James J. Toner Mr.. Toner
has always been known as a kind socia-
BILE and happy man, with kind word for
nearly everybody he met. Moreover, it
is believed that the great strain, of
campaign both before nomination and
before election was so great both upon
his health and purse, that he can hardly
stand defeat. On thecontrary. IL is said of
his opponent that he could have endured
several such campaigns and as many de-
feats. This fact has cast gloom over
this neighborhood, where Mr.. Toner has
been so well known from boyhood, and
his friends do not seem TO realize in their
depression the fact that triumph has
crowned the efforts of Democracy in the
whole country.
Yesterday from dawn Of day until mid
night the all-absOrbing question OF the
day and the one which was asked many
hundred of times was "Who is sheriff.
How is Toner The telephone was
kept very busy and there were inquiries
to be telegraphed, while scores Of people
met the incoming trains from Whining
ton to hear the result Of the board of
canvass in session at the county Court
House Il is not known when there was
such deep and general interest in an
election by the people before.
The defeated candidate had been in the
field for six years and certainly earned
the Office by hard work. With one eX-
ception he was never known TO do an un-
manly act and his reputation for YER
acity and good judgment can hardly be
excelled. Il was confidently expected
that he would run far ahead of his ticket
as he never took aay prominent part in
the unfortunate city election contests.
Even Mr.. Gould, his Republican op.
ponent and the victor, said before a
large Republican assemblage here. 81
have a good man 60 fight in this con
test and know It will be a struggle; his
friends are my friends but l think can
