CEMENT FAcE WITH COATED WIPES.

mum is expensive-so expensive that only
millionaires could afford to use it in their
household utensils. Other cheaper metals
there are in plenty, that from an electrical
point of view do almost as well as plati-
mum, or perhaps even better; but they cor.
rode when heated in the open air.
"This difficulty has been got over by coat
ing one of these other metals with a special
varnish or cement that protects it from the
air, but yet allows the metal to expand
freely when heated by the passage of the
electric current. How this device is ap-
piled can best be realized from the rough
sketch Of n railway foot warmer. The
plate represented in the sketch is about
eighteen inches long by four inches broad,
and perhaps one-tenth Of an inch thick; it
has metal backing for strCegth, but the
important part is the cement face, with
the wire just visible underneath, as shown
in the second cut"

half embroidery. Blouse corsages of all
kinds, including, of course, the Russian
blouse, will be worn extensively. AS the
season advances, laces-black, cream and
white-will be much employed in the max
ing Of these 'blouses. Pretty tunics for
summer fete dresses are Of shot canvas in
delicate tints trimmed with rows of lace.
One Of the novelties for the skirts of ball
gowns is flouncing of gold gossamer gauze
appliqued and edged with lace. 1t has a
beautiful sheen, and is as thin and silky as
possible. Vatican draperies for the backs
of evening dresses are made of moire silk,
beautifully hand embroidered, and of net
with flower designs wrought with satin
bugles in faint colors.
Some of the dress skirts are slightly
draped at the front and sides; the majority
terminate in a bias train, though arounded
fuller train is also worn.

Silk and Satin Flower Embroidery,

There is as great fancy as ever for the
satin and silk flower embroidery. The de-
signs are in the popular French style. The
tiny simple flowers of many hues are laid
ON silk or satin grounds, and threads of
silk are drawn across between each petal.
When the flowers are sewed on the ground
they are connected into groups or sprays by
stems worked with silks and are inter,
spersed with embroidered leaves The
sprays may be tied with ribbons, or there
is a dainty little basket filled to overflow
ing, vcrirably, for many OF the flowers
come tumblng out. These baskets are
usually represented with shaded brown or
green arasene. 1t is work in accordance
with French furniture and decorations
and is well suited for cushions, screen
panels and for table CenterS

The Boston Herald says of Speaker
Barrett's supposed Senatorial aspirations
that "to elect man holding the position
of speaker as United States senator
would be to jump over one or two inter-
vening grades, though, of course, there
is no insuperable obstacle in the way of
such transaction"
This ancient superstition that man
must win political preferment step by
step and arrive at the goal only when
his hair is gray is mischievous, since it
deprives the country of the services Of
men still in their prime in its most inn
portant work. Mr.. Barrett is not too
young for senator, he is certainly not
too old, he is clean, he is honest, he is
able, he is experienced, he knows Wash
ington as only newspaper man can
know it, Massachusetts may or may
not elect him senator, but it would make
no mistake if it did.

A LONG SESSION.

Bourke Cochran says the House will
adjourn the first of June. This means
that the do-nothing majority doesn't
mean to try to do anything except pass
the appropriation bills. 1t is too near the
Presidential election for the party of in
action to venture upon anything more
than legislation by resolution. 1t is al
ways too near something for Democratic
obstructionists to devise any fresher
policy than their long familiar dog in the
manger role.
But the House has now been two
two months ut work and has possessed
itself of two rules and passed one bill, a
much needed provision to protect the
sensitive members from ridicule. At
this rate it will take until Christmas to
get any appropriations. Mr.. Holman
understands the situation and doesn't
pretend to expect to get through before
late autumn. His head is clearer on this
point than Cochran's. The country is
in for protracted agony. The noun
tain labors, but if it brings forth so
much as mouse it will disappoint ex-
pectation.

TIE lloyd DECISION.

Our Democratic friends are making
merry these days over the fact that the
Supreme Court of the United States has
declared James Il. Boyd Governor of
Nebraska. Mr.. Boyd received major
ity of the votes cast, but the point was
raised that he was not a citizen of the

cision and ruled that Boyd's father was

SMALLPOX.

The fact that case of supposed small
pox was reported to the superintendent
of health yesterday, as exclusively pub
lished in the News, created much ex-
citement in town, although it was not
certain that the disease was correctly
diagnosed.
1t is r., years since the city had a
case Of smallpox-a sufficiently reassur-
ing fact in itself, as tending to show that
this loathsome disease is now exceed
ingly rare. 1t accounts for a smaller
percentage of deaths in the East than
almost any other known form of dis
ease. Jenner has robbed it of its ter
rors.
Yet we doubt not that many who have
looked ON complacently while typhoid, a
preventable disease, was claiming its
victims in this city by the dozen and
were not much disturbed when grip had
held the people by the heels, will be far
more disturbed at the bare thought of
this pest,
