The supper of rye bread and milk was
delicious to the two hungry girls, and
when afterward Huldah showed them
the way up steep fight of steps more
like a ladder than stairs, which led into
the garnet, Clara's delight was greater
than ever.
"What love of an old place." she
exclaimed, looking round her at the
bare beams and rafters, which, at their
apex, almost touched her head. SLOW
unsteady the rain sounds, and how
coy that little bed under the beams
looks, only we shall have to 20 on our
hands and knees to get into it. Oh!
Marian, what do you suppose we shall
dream about?''
"Hush!' cried Marian, Selling her
companions arm. "What noise was
that?'
''Only an owl hooting in the woods.
What a bundle of ridiculous nerves you
are, Marian"
''Ah! but the strange grating sounds
as If skeleton fingers were feeling over
| the roof
| Clara busst into a laugh.
Nothing on earth but the trees that
hang over the ledge of rocks, and brush
to and fro across the ridge pole at every
gust of wind. What will you fancy
next?"
Marian drew deep sigh of relief.
'Fsut shall not undress," she said,
quietly.
"Why note"
II think it safer to lie down just as
am"
Marian, you are a goose!" exclaimed
Clara. ''However, l don't care; We'll
just draw the patchwork coverlid over
us and sleep as soundly as if we were
in the state chamber at Windsor castle,
for think l never was so sleepy in all
my life"
II shall not sleep wink all night, -
said Marian. 'Oh! Clara, I wish we
had kept on down the mountains. l
wish we had not come here"
marian, what ais you?' cried Clara,
almost impatiently. Il wouldn't be
such an old maid as you for a thousand
dollars. Do lie quietly down and let

II would be difficult to say what par
ticular skirt IL in fashion at tho present
moment, as there are several different
styles which dispute for favor. The
greatest success OF the hour is, perhaps,
that of skirt which is q sort OF remin-
iscence OF the fashions OF 1853. IL is
quite cOUdnt In form, and is then set on
in fine pleats, widening down IN the
very bottom Of the skirt. Then we have
the ordinary bias skirt, and the jupe
cornet, which are usually preferred for
the varieties Of plaid and checked ma
terials. The jupe cloche, which
moulds the shape and falls In
large undulatioDs round the bot
tom, requires wide width stuffs.
IS II should be cut in one piece. The
vatican skirt should be mounted on a
high Empire sash, and requires to be
worn with a round waist, 10 which the
vatican pleat is fastened by hooks and
eyes. The jupe Ang laise, so called, Is
only suitable to slight figures, as II Is
quite tight, and has no fitness behind.
As for the jupe Empire, IL can be made
with materials of any width. The
skirts gathered all around the waist are,
in my opinion, only tolerable ia thin,
soft materials, especially In grenadine,
net, mousseline de sole, etc., made over
a well-cut silk skirt. FLoRETTE.

London Money Market.

LONDON, December 25.-As regards dis

Bills were exceedingly scarce and compe-
tition was as keen IS ever. The state OF
the New York money market, which, ii is
thought here, threatens a continuance Of
gold exports to Europe, is watched with
the greatest interest. The American sup
plies OF gold By meeting the continents de-
mends continue 70 figure as the leading
factor in inducing the stagnation Of the
money market here. The American rail-
road department experienced a feverish
week. Gold shipments 10 Europe were
the dominant factor in the market. If the
New York banks 90 as il is reported they
probably will, pay gold for mass OF gov
eminent bonds, rally in American rail-
roads is certain, as apart from the cur

BURIED PLUMBER.
Blue Blazes Lead a Woman to the Hiding
Place.

OSHKOSH, WIS, December 25.-When
jacob Thruns house, in Romeo, Wis,
burned last November a year ago, and it
was alleged that he was cremRted, the fact
DEVELOPED that he carried $50, 900 worth OF
insurance on his life, although regarded as
q poor man. How he could pay the prem
iums or such an enormous sum is explained
by his alleged widow in this way:
About four years ago she was visiting
friend at Neenah in what is known as the
haunted house, One evening, while out
in the ward, her attention was drawn TO a
spot on the lot by blue light She had
stick 10 her hand, and, going 10 the spot in
dicated by the light, placed the end Of the
stick on the ground, when il began TO bend
and push away the dirt. Suddenly she
noticed box. She took 1t TO her room,
and found il contained $1,000. She
mentioned her experience 10 no one,
not even her husband, for two
years. After returning TO her
home at Romeo she buried part of the
money snd the other part she kept in the
house That part, 5000 was burned. On
looking up the records it was found that
some months previous 10 the alleged dis
covery OF Mrs. Thrun, an express robbery
occurred near AbbottsfOrd, and tue man
VINO was convicted Of the crime said that
the amount taken, 81, 900, had been buried,
but refused TO tell the place. Detectives

The People of Caldwell Had Expected
Mr. Cleveland to visit his Birthplace.


NEWARK, n. j., December 24.-For some
time past the citizens Of Caldwell have
been anxiously looking forward for the

land to Caldwell. the village being his

before his inauguration in March. The
citizens Of Caldwell are somewhat disap-

for the extreme pressure upon my

RrlElannon Rnnnsr.

The Wheeling REGISTER is authority
for the statement that Hon. 5. B. e.
kinS is endeayoring TO defeat the re-
election to the Senate OF the Hon. c. j.
Faulkner The plan proposed by Mr..
Elkius is to have the Republicans In the
Legislature agree upon Democrat, aud
then solicit support FOR him from any
antl-CaucuS Democrats that can be man
ufacturei for the purpose. That Is not
a very bright plan, nor one that can be
credited with much originality.
Mr.. Elkins certainly does nor under
stand either West Virginia Democracy
or the situation of political affairs in
the State, or he would have known that
the election OF Senator Faulkner is as
much OF foregone conclusion as any
thing that can happen, and has been for
some time. Mr.. Faulkner will succeed
himself, despite all Mr.. Elkins' machin-
ations. The reason for the effort to de-
feat Mr. Faulkner is doubtless the ex-
posure by him OF the celebrated coloni-
cation scheme. which proved somewhat
disastrous to Republican hopes Of car
rying the State.

Criticism OF the Harter Plan.

The Harter plan of announcing in ad-
vance the names of men who will be
recommended for appointment to GER

suited TO secure harmony and to relieve

regard to the Offices. Mr.. Pendleton's
announcements have raised a storm OF
Indignation aud led many persons be-

against such course, challenging his
right to make such recommendations at
this time without consultation with the

They Think 1t Disgrace to Die Naturally
Under 95.


NEW York, December 25.-Dsniel d.
Hatfield yesterday denied the report that
he is dead. He is between so and go years
old and says that it is regarded as a dis
grace in the Hatfield family to die nat
ural death under %. This Hatfield family
is the New Jersey branch and the West
Virginia Hatheids are descendants OF
Matthias Heathfeld, who came over from
Yorkshire in 1880. Both branches
are fighters in the law courts
il nowhere else The Hatfield, whose
death gave rise to the report that Fighting
Dan Hatfield, of Railway, was no more,
was also named Daniel, and died at his
home near Fauwood, at the age of SO. He
was not feeling well, and fell down stairs,
thus UNFOLDING the family tradition that
one Hatfield must die a violent death be-
fore 1897.
"He was good for ten years, If this
hadn't happened" said the surviving Dan
iel. He lived in the old farm house years
before the Rebellion. His widow is hale
woman Of 90, and he has three grown
children, but no grandchildren. In fact,
there were only few Of the New Jersey
Hathelds left, scarcely more than there
are Of the West Virginia Hattields.
Fighting Dan said to-day that 20 or 80
wears would see the last Of them.

The recent discovery in Westchester
County, n. Y, Of tuberculosis in
herd Of cows, has severely startled
Gotham and set the trenchant editorial
pens Of the metropolitan press at work
on the health officials. The Times says
that it shows that consumers DO not buy
safety by paying very high prices for
milk that IS supposed to be supplied
under conditions that insure purity and
prevent infection. In this case the
price is said TO have been Il cents
Quart and the milk was used in the
families Of wealthy citizens. The vet
erlnarlan employed by the State Board
of Health discovered that the cows
were diseased, and the board gave
warning to the Health Department of
New York City. Experiments proved
that there were germs enough in the
milk TO XIII gulneapigs. Twelve cows
belonging TO the herd were killed. San
itary Superintendent Epson says:
'The neighborhOOd was searched and
all the animals which showed any symp-
toms were also killed. The significance OF
this example Is that the disease was dis
covered only after the cattle showed very
obvious SYMPTOMS. Now, before the dis
ease reveals its presence TO the casual OBJ
server 10 has reached q dangerous stage.
Instead Of waiting for the disease 70 show
itself clearly, the board ought 20 have the
means Of seeking IL out 10 its earliest stages
of development But the State Board can
not do this, although IL knows, and tue City
Board knows, that there must be other
similar cases. There are undoubtedly
herds which furnish tuOercu.Ous milk to
this city, but to search them ont would re-
Quire more means than The 5000 which
was appropriated for this purpose last
year.
Ii is rather odd that the Board has
not informed the people that the ap-
preparation was insufficient to secure
the people from drinking deadly poison.
ii the Board knew Of the danger it has
been criminally negligent; if it cid not
know, it has been grossly ignorant, for,
as the Times points out, &, is well
known that the milk Of tuberculous or
.'consumptiye" COW commonly contains
the minute germs Of the disease, and
that the introduction OF these germs
into the system Of a human being who
is susceptible 20 infection owing
to inherited pecuiiartieS or TO temporary
weakness may cause the fatal disease Of
consumption TO be developed in the re-
cipient The owners OF tuberculous
cows who sell the milk Of these cows TO
consumers in the cities or elsewhere
are engaged in distributing deadly poi
son covered up 10 fluid which is used
universally as an article OF food, with
scarcely any precautions. IN the pres
ent case such milk has been sold and
consumed for some time before the con-
dition Of the cows was discovered or
suspected, by pp5lie officer. Proba-
bly, it had been consumed by persons
susceptible TO Infection, and undoubt-
eddy it had beenl given to deieSseless
Infants. ~

The repeal Of the act Of 1890 10 so far
as it provides for monthly silver pnr-
chases, has become a question merely
Of the endurance Of Congress. The SEN
tiuent of repeal grows daily and per.
ceptibly stronger. The advocates OF
the measure began to fall of shortly af-
ter its enactment and thew have now
dropped to a mere handful led by
President HARRISON, who cling to the
measure merely because it has Re-
publican label and who think that con-
sistency requires them to stand by even
a manifest failure. In the days Of its
intelligent viriIity the Republican party
was proud Of it's ability to see the errors
and unpopularlty OF its legislation and
10 correct the former before the latter
compelled It's defeat at the polls. But
in these latter days Republication con-
sists in making mistakes and sticking
TO thom.
The result Of this bad silver .legisla-
ton is seen in our 65 cent silver dollar
and the rapid drainage Of gold to
Europe. Foreign capitalists are be-
coming distrustful OF a monetary pol
icy which is every day making IL mora
difficult for the Government to maintain
the purity Of silver coinage and silver
certificates with gold.
The Democracy's duty is plain. The
national platform affirms:
We denounce the Republican legislation
known as the Sherman act Of 1870 as q
cowardly makeshifJ, fraught with possioi!,
tiles Of dangers ia the future, which should
make all OF its supporters, as well as It's
author, anxious for its speedy repeal
Bills for the repeal of the purchases
clauses OF the act have been introduced
by Senator HILL, by Representative
ANDREW on the Democratic side, and
in the last session Senator SHERMAN In
troduced one on the Republican side.
Senator MCPHERSON has announced
that as soon as Congress reassemOles
after the holiday recess he will endeay-
or to secure the passage of u resolution,
empowering the Secretary Of the Treas
ury to cease silver purchases. The
time for action before March 4th will
be short, but it is not impossible that
public sentiment may in that interval
grow strong enough to overcome con-
gresslonal stolidity which alone stands
in the way of repeal. The repeal bill
meets with little active resistance
longer. In the test Of endurance the
popular desire may yet win.
