FAIR SEX FASHIONS.

Dancing gowns will be nearly, without
exception, all empire style this season.
Slashed sleeves are again in favor.
and are as handsome as velvet and
brocade can be.
Feather ruches now take the place OF
the stiff linen and lace ones, and are ex-
tremely pretty and becoming.
Black hosiery will probably never go
out of fashion, but for evening wear and
for home wear, too, colored hose will be
affected this year by many people.
Silk skirts have become so much the
fashion and have taken hold on the
popular fancy that white ones are rarely
seen and may be said to be out of date.
Velvet jackets to go with different
gowns are now the fashion, and when
lined with satin of gay tint and EN-
broidered in braid or gold thread are
exceedingly stylish.
The pretty recamier effect-that of a
loose fold of tulle from the shoulders
across the bust, terminating in bunch
of flowers in the middle of the corsage--
will be much worn for evening gowns

Nothing I'm Ii.

That is to say, from the commercial
point of view. Lieutenant Peary thinks
there is no money to be made by the
conquest Of the north pole, and if
short northwest passage through to
Asia does exist it will not be of any
practical use. Nevertheless, from the
scientific standpoint, the north pole ex-
petition is exceedingly interesting, and
Peary will go again if he can arrange
matters. So he says.
There is no doubt but he has estab-
lished the northern coast of Greenland.
It can be predicted almost with GER
tainty, too, tbit the Nineteenth century
will not close till the dream of thon-
sand years-the setting foot upon the
north pole itself--shall have been ac-
complished. This conquest remains yet
before the indomitable Anglo-Saxon-
let us say the American Anglo-Saxon-
as the accomplished task on which the
sun of the Twentieth century shall rise.
One feature of the long stay in the
arctic regions is remarkable. That is
the absence Of illness, accident or phys
ical suffering among the explorers.
Heretofore the story Of the arctic trav-
eler has been one of fearful suffering,
attended in all cases with loss Of life.
This time there was no illness, and only
one man was lost, who, the party have
made up their minds, lost himself by de-
sign. He told them If he did not return
in four days not to look for him. Never
theless they did wait and search week,
delaying their trip southwark as long as
they dared. They left food for year
and a half at the camping ground for
him. Many persons, including men,
bers of his own family, believe him yet
alive.
OF course next summer trip will be
made to find him. A white man lost at
the north pole will be fact with ro-
mantle interest attached to il. This in
terest will draw adventures to the
north Greenland coast till the fate of
Verhoeff is definitely ascertained. The
man who finds him viii be the hero Of
the hour. as Stanley was after he found
Livingstone in Africa.
One other fact useful for north pole
explorers was ascertained beyond ques-
ton. 1t was that the best way to accom-.
plish exploration is to travel light, with
as little luggage as possible. having the
rear covered by frequent supply stations

There have been several dogs snari-
ing and swapping in the Republican
manger in this county ever since the
adjournment Of the county convention.
During the campaign their tales have
been wagging in almost every precinct.
Some of them sneak along the by
ways and hedges to avoid detection,
now and then biting some one in the
back, while Others more bold travel in
the open roadways, attracting some
attention by their vicious barking and
little sympathy by their mournful
howis. They will all be remembered
on election day, and more particularly
when the representatives of the party
whose candidates they are now seeking
to defeat are again called together in
convention.

In his recent speech at Philadelphia,
Senator Sherman said: "They tell us
also that protection is fraud upon the
labor Of the American people for the
benefit of the few. What right has the
Democratic party today to speak for
the laboring men Of this country ?
What measure has II adopted or pro
posed to advance their interests, to pro-
mote their comfort or increase their
pay?" This is an awkward question
for the Democrats. They cannot point
to single one.

The phenomenal decline in British
trade is wildly shown by a recent
paragraph in British paper, which
states that splendid four-mast iron
steamer Of 1000 tons register, owned
on the Clyde, came into port from
Australia in ballast, was unable to get
a cargo and sailed back for the antipo-
DIES again with the same ballast she
brought with her. And why? Because
every Australian colony now has a
protective tariff, and they are manu-
featuring their own goods instead of
buying them from England. And
that's what's the matter with free trade

There is a suggestion of bristles and
granting, likewise picked trptters and
bacon, in story that comes from Chi
cago. We leave the reader to find the
suggestion for himself. The story is
that the livery stable keepers of the

every hack used in the procession of Oct.

from the other side.

Bishop Potter admits that undoubtedly
a majority of the American people de-
sire the Worlds fair to be closed on
Sunday. But he himself declares that
there are other doors which should first
be closed on Sundays-doors into which
the average stranger tumbles of Sun
day afternoon-that are vastly more
hurtful than if the gates of the exposi-
ton were open to the extent of allowing
him to visit the picture galleries, gar
dens, etc. "Shut other doors first, says

In their protest against the Chinese
exclusion law the Chinese Civil Rights
league of New York declare that law to
be ''monstrous, inhuman and unconsti-
tutional." 1t was curious gathering
the meeting of the league members. 1t
was attended by hundred Chinese in
American dress. The president Of the
meeting was DR.. Thoms, a Chinese physi-
clan who has an honorable reputation
for medical attainments in Brooklyn,
where he lives. White people call him
to attend them sometimes. He said in
his Introductory speech that the Chinese
were victims, and had been treated in
the United States with an inhumanity
not equaled by that received by the Jew
in Russia, yet the people of the United
States were among the first to protest
against the cars treatment of his
Hebrew subjects. Wong Chin Foo, the
learned Chinese who writes and reports
in the English language for the New
York Sun, said: "You havenever known
the Chinese to kick till now. Show me

wages or live in such novels as the

The bunting in the American flag is

says the Democratic orator, and yet it

" Every patriotic American from ocean

starry flag made of bunting that costs
exactly two cents per yard less than
this imaginary tax - Do American

The temperance women of Chicago
have the courage Of their convictions
anyhow. An offer of 81 800 month rent
was made to them for the right to put a
gilded palace, in which to sell tobacco,
in the rotunda of their marble halls in

answered: admit the vile weed into
