LONDON, Aug. 19.-Fashion makers
have been working for years over woman's
attire, striving TO make it possess three es-
sentlal qualities-grace, beauty and style,
and to be withal, becoming. And they
have at last succeeded, for never to my
mind have modes been so entirely satisfac-
tory, so simply beautiful and of such infin-
ite variety.
The bell and gored skirts are perhaps the
greatest reform in woman's attire, even

Capitalization of Government.

The history of the federal govern
ment is one Of growing strength and in
fuence. The difference between the
intention of the founders of the system
and of the existing fact is nearly as
great as that between the opinions OF
Jefferson and moderate Federalsts.
From the first organization of the gov
eminent to the present time there has
been almost a steady advance toward
Capitalization. This advance has been
both aided and retarded by the supreme
court; but in the Legislative branch of
the government and in the popular mind
the proportions of the federal govern
ment have constantly grown larger. 1t
has not been the tendency Of the people
Of the republic to strengthen the local
government at the expense of the general
government. On the contrary, the gen.
eral government has grown at the cost
CT the states.-Henry l.. Nelson in Har-
per's.

derstand German, Schneider will seem
an equally appropriate name for a dress

Patent Grave Marker.

The expense of a funeral in large
city has grown to such proportions that
the average man commits more extrav-
agance in the act Of dying than he ever
did during life. It has been suggested
that much less costly form of grave
stone than usually erected would meet
all the requirements Of affectionate re-
membrance and respect, and the sugges-
ton has been carried into effect in the
patenting of a "grave marker" This is
simply memorial leaf. 1t consists of
two outer plates bent so as to form a
holder for leaves or tablets, adapted to
be suspended from a frame to receive
and retain objects desired to be kept as
mementos of the deceased.
The tablets beneath the outer plates
can be designed in any desired form,
and as they have slides of mica or trans
parent material to protect the tokens
any object such as photographs, sketches,
etc., can be inserted. For instance, a
sketch Of the life of the departed or q
portrait or lock Of hair can be placed
in the receptacle, where it is securely
protected from the weather, and as it is
covered by mica it will last for many
years without bleaching or decaying.-

ST. PAUL, Aug. 13.-Attorney General
Clapp has rendered an opinion which
has direct bearing on the fall election
as regards members of the state senate.
The opinion was made at the request of
L. A. Reed, chairman of the Republi-
can county convention Of Hennepin
county, and for the purpose OF deciding
whether or not members from the odd
numbered districts held over.
In giving his opinion the attorney
general claims there will be no election
this fall for the reason that under legis-
lative enactment all members of the
senate hold over, making their terms
four instead of two years. There had
been no question about the senators
from even-numbered districts holding
over, but there were those who con-
tended that the terms Of the senators in
edd-numbered districts expired this
fall. The senate consists of twenty-six
Republicans (three Of whom are classed
as independent Republicans, thirteen
Alliance and fifteen Democratic mem
bers. The Republicans must. under the
ruling, secure more than a bare major
ity of the house in order to insure the
return of Republican United States
