Guiding paper by w. A. Coffin on American
Illustration Of To-day" An article of the
widest interest, in view of the Worlds Fair
and the rapidly increasing commercial i'm
D portauce of Chicago, is a detailed account
(such as has never been given in a popular
maRazine) of"The Water-Route from Chi
caeo to the Ocean" by way of the great
lakes, the Welland Canal, and the St Law
renee River, with elaborate illustrations.
The enormous dimensions Of this trade will
be a surprise to even close students of COM
mercial affairs. The author, Lieutenant
Charles c. Rogers, U. S. N, is connected
with the Naval Intelligence Office in Wash
ington, and has long made study of these
questions. He has succeeded in eombining
a mass Of most valuable information with a
picturesque account of the varying features
of the lake ports, the canals, and the ST.
Lawrence. AS much of the foreign freight
foi the Worlds Fair will pass over this
route, the article will interest many who
are not habitually magazine readers.

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Feb. "a 1899.
So much has been stated in
this column of the glories of
the itch, rare and beautiful
stock of very fine Dress Goods
that you may perhaps doubt
whether the palmer and sim
pier goods have equal care.
Dismiss that notion. Call upon
the cheaper stufs and see
what rs and 37H cents will
do. Neat mixes 25c, SO
inches; half cotton to be sure,
but. price considered, none the
worse for that, and the big
range of brown and gray
Tweeds and Knickerbockers,
at 37Hc, SO inches. Extremes
do not meet in Dress Goods
here. We have both and all
the intermediate grades. Too
many between for them to
meet.
N1l1tcent WoOL Dress Goods.
A casual glance, a moments
counting, SiXtV-SeVen STYLES in
a single row. Just a trihing
bit of testimony to the bigness
OF the great Dress Goods
stock. There are many de-
signs. Some are chevrons,
some have chevron stripes,
some plain stripes that are ell
egant in simplicity. Some
have Angora Wool (the Cam

the Sleeps Wool and that

Political Personals.

The Richmond correspondent of the,
Petersburg Appeal says: Everybody
is asking, What will Fitz Lee have I'M
der the new administration 1t is
known that Mr. Cleveland minated IN
1888 that in the event of his reelection
he would offer Governor Lee the Paris
mission. 1t was understood that he
coveted that honor at that time, Tor
several reasons, one that he would have
the opportunity of educating his child
rem in Paris. Fitz Lee is very close TO
Mr. Cleveland and will no doubt be Of
fered something next spring, but it is
believed by many that he would rather
remain in Virginia next year and can
vass for Legislature that would elect
him to the Senate. believe that Lee
would prefer being colleague of John
W. Daniel than having any other Of
flee"
The same correspondent says: MANY
persons here think that Fitz Lee stands
good chance of getting into Mr..
Cleveland's cabinet. He has always
been on excellent terms with the Pres
idcnt-elect aud it is known that Mr..
Cleveland has high opinion of him.
1t is believed that the General would
like Washington life, and certainly he
would not decline a cabinet position.
It is the very general opinion that Lee
will get some bic federal office if he
does not got into the cabinet, and the
politicians are already removing his
name from the national and gubernato-
rial States. 1t is thought by some that
O'Ferrall will not be candidate for
Governor, as greater possibilities are
opening up for him in Washington.
For the Governorship j. HOge Tyler,
Basil B. Gordon, r. C. Kent, Holmes
Conrad and J. Taylor Ellyson are men
toned now more than other persons" "
The same correspondent says: "The
fact that the Charlottesville Progress
has nominated Basil B. Gordon for
Governor may have some significance.
1t has been generally understood for
sometime that Mr. Gordon would be a
candidate to succeed Gov. Mckinney.
The democratic headquarters have been
at Charlottesville since August and Mr..
Gordon and Mr. Lindsay, editor of the
Progress, have been quite intimate.
Therefore it is probable that publica-
ton was not made without it having
been know that the chairman would
enter the )ntest."

SYDNEY. n. S. W., Nov. 1.-THE
police are making searches of all the
premises that have been occupied by
the Makins, the family of baby farmers
now under arrest here At two sub
urbs of Sydney where the family have
lived the bodies of thirteen infants
were found, and to-day search made
of the back yard of a house once occu-
pied by the Makins resulted in the dis
covery of two more bodies. The po-
lice found at one of the houses a bundle
of long needles wrapped in blood
stained piece of calico. The theory is
that the babies were killed by having
their hearts or spines pierced with
needles.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE little village
of Petertavery was yesterday thrown
into state of great excitement by n
double murder and suicide. A young
mar named William Williams fell in
love with Emily Dodge, daughter of
farmer. His love was not recipro-
Gated, however, as William Rowe had
found favor with the girl. Yesterday
nearly all the villagers attended divine
service. When the services were over
Rowe and miss Doidge.started to walk
to the lattcr's home. They had gone
but short distance before they were
overtaken by Williams, who, with
out a word, drew pistol and fired
two shots at Miss Dodge, who
fell dead in the road. The moment
the girl fell Williams fired two shots at
Rowe, both of which took effect. The
murderer then placed the pistol to his
head and sent a bullet in his brain.
Rowe was taken to his house, where he
died this morning.

and since Lincoln's death it has had . varied
career. 1t was used by the higher officials of
the Union Pacific as their private car, and a
special building was put up at Omaha to house
il while not in service. Next it was perma-

SOME DEMOCRATIC newspapers say
one good effect of the result of last
Tuesdays election will be the admis-
sion of the two democratic territories,
Arizona and New Mexico as States into
the Union. Why should the papers re-
ferred TO make no reference to the
democratic territory of Utah? 1t con-
tains twice as many people as either Of
the others, and is great deal more
prosperous in every respect. The fact
that many of its people belong to the
Mormon Church should have nothing
to do with its admission. as the Consti-
tuition expressly provides against any
discrimination on account of religions;
and the assumption that the morality
ofthe people of Utah is ola lower grade
than that of those of Idaho, which also
contains great many Mormons, or of
those ofthe other republican territories
recently admitted, or Of those. who live
in New England, in some of the States
of which divorce is almost as common
as marriage, is not only groundless, but
absurdly ridiculous OF all the ter
ritories which should be admitted Utah
is the first, for every reason applicable
to such cases.
