WAYS OF MAKING.

While the skirts of many street dress
es trail at the back. yet the protest
from an influential minority has peen
felt and number of stylish costumes
barely touch. The bell skirt is all pre-
valent and almost universally shows
trimming only at the bottom As
result, there is remarkable diversity in
garniture which runs from) narrow
braid or fold to flounoe that reaches
half way up. Full rucaing of pinked
silk are very popular flat folds over
tapping are a seasonable idea; successive
bands that may reach well on the waist,
give change and passementeries made
OF wire to strengthen them, are brought
out specially for the bottom of skirts.
While pointed basques are leading
style for light WOODS or silks. cotton
dresses are most frequently made with
round waists and here particularly
comes in the corselet, that has lost
none of the extraordinary favor accord
ed it during the winter and last season.
BRIDAL COSTUMES
are made of fail. Bengaline de sole or
satin and the greater number are made
with short basques, but princess out

of the Russian blouse deserve mention.

schemes Of desperate mef.
DEVELOPMENTS the past week show
that the state university. of which all
our people have much right to be
proud, is being SO tempered with in Its
management by the Democratic bosses
for purely partisan ends. that it is prob
able its efficiency will be greatly i'm
paired Pres. Chamberlain has proved
himself to be man of marvellous ability
for the difficult work of building up
and maintaining q great school. In
five years he has set the Wisconsin
University in the front rank of Ameri-
can educational institutions. and given
it special features of excellence which
no other school possesses. But just at
the time when all friends of the univer-
sity are exulting over its splendid
attachments and widely growing fame,
comes the reports that Pres. Chamber
lain will probably accept call to the
Chicago University to take charge OF
its geological department and at a
salary nearly double that which be
receives ut Madison. With this an
nouncement comes also the explanation
that there has been such interference
with his work. and such lack Of support
on the part OF the newly created patisan
board, that he feels he is only wasting
his time and energies in remaining at
Madison The influences which now
control our state affairs are guided BY
such narrow and bigoted partisanship
that they seek to revolutionize every
public institution, regardless of its orig
inal purpose, and make it Democratic.

THE Blaineltes and the democrats
come pretty near working hand in hand
to defeat Harrison. They not only
magnify Blaine's position but exagerate
his every movement and as a final
coup published a canard that Harrison
had sent telegram to Cullom, Of
Illinois, 10 withdraw his name if not
nominated on first ballot. II was not
only a lie, as no such telegram had
been sent, but shows the desperate
schemes Of desperate mef..

THERE have been no more sincere
Blaine organs in the county than the
democratic press. They know full well
that with Blaine as a nominee Cleveland
would be a sure winner. History re-
peats itself sometimes and in this
instance there would be no doubt as to
what the page for 1892 would contain.

WAYS OF MAKING BRIDAL
DRESSES

DRESSES.
For travelling, no one who regards
the prophecies, would have other than
skirt which need not be held up
and an excellent model in tan and
brown tweed is made with vest and
coat and quite without trimming. At
the stores, ready made costumes are
freely shown in three pieces, coat, vest
and skirt and are to be specially COM
mended for simplicity. Light weight
silks are also excellent for going short
Journeys, provided the pattern be mod
est. The best travelling cloaks are
made of Gloris. material brought out
especially for the purpose, with silk and
wool weave, the former displaying a
dressY lustre, while the latter gives
body. The greater number are in plain
shades of tan or gray or in stripes or
plaids of unpretentious color and pat
tern. In shape, choice lies between
circulars and listers with demi-long or
short capes. Prices run from $1,000
to $50 90.
TRAVELLING BAGS
are still in Alligator skin and genuine
one of good size may be had for $500.
Fitted bags are disproportionatey ex-
pensiye, since supply of toilet conyen-
fences sends the prices up to nine or
ten dollars. Many persons therefore,
prefer to purchase cases that contain
small hair brush and comb. tooth and
and nail brush which packed closely.
take up little room. Folding cases are
provided with every article, even
soap box, manicure conveniences, and
q pocket for a towel. Perfumery has
its place and in making up the general
summer outfit, one should not fail to
remember Murray and Lanman's Flor
ida Water, since without this refreshing
perfume, no lady's supply of toilet
articles is complete. But if fair readers
would avoid disappointment, let them
be sure of the name and beware of the
host of inferior substitutes.
STYLISH MATERIALS
Among thin fabrics now being made
up for summer resorts. dotted Swiss
muslin in colors and showing rather
large floral patterns. is a notable trans
formation of old ideas. Other popular
thin materials are semi-transparent
batistes. organizes. an endless variety
of cotton crepons, plain printed or
embroidered. Bedford cords or ging-
hams that have never been quite so
attractive as this season. ravorite
patterns show cross bars with embroid-
cry at the points of intersection or yet
more dressy ones have lace patterns
done in white that are in pretty relief
on plain, colored ground. All white
goods have their quota of favor and
here the demand for India muslin,

Bedford cords or crepons is fairly good

COAL PRICES RULE Low.

From the loud clamor that has re-
cently been raised regarding the alleged
ex brilliant price OF coal, the consequent
imaginary oppression Of the poor and the
other dreadful results that are said to
have followed the consolidation of other
railroads with the Reading, the natural
supposltion would be by those who do
not follow coal prices closely that the
present figures are uausually high aud
that the Reading Is inflcting 3 heavy
burden on consumers An examination
OF the prices for several years past shows
that there is no Lasls for such an
idea aud that, instead Of the price being
higher, It is now below the average for
the past eight years
