THE RIBBON HARNESS.

Truly, if the ribbon merchants do not
all make fortunes this year it will not be
the fault of the fashionable woman. Still
another style of ribbon ornament for
dresses has been invented. 1t comes
from Paris and has no name, although
were it called ''ribbon harness" the
words would not be appropriately ap-
piled. 1t is made of black velvet rib
bon about two inches wide, placed over
q delicate shade of pink satin ribbon OF
the same width, but in such manner as
to allow only about a half inch of the
pink to show. On the shoulders are large
bows of the satin RIBBON, and where the
harness crosses il front It is held In place
by handsome paste buckle. The whole
thing ends in the back at the waist line,
but the usual streamers are not wanting,
as thew come from the shoulders and are
fastened together about midway down
the back by large rosette of the pink
ribbon. The effect of all this ribbon is
very pleasing, although at first rather
startling. Were it not that nice ribbon
is always available,it would seem little
extravagant to put so much money into
passing fancy of which one is sure tt
tire after having worn it three or tour
times.-St. Louis Republic.

A PERFECT ROCHESTER FOR NOTHING

A PERFECT EGG-TEsTER FOR NOTHING.
Having one of the lanterns with re-.
fector and bull's.eye on one side of
the chimney, which are made to put on
the dasher of wagon, as well as for or
binary house use, I made an egg-tester as
follows. explains Cambridge, Mass
correspondent: I got box just big
enough to receive the lantern easily,
arranged one side of it to swing on
leathern hinges as door, and on an
other side, just opposite the bull's'eye,
cut an egg-snaped hole, about quarter
of an inch larger all round than large
egg. Then over this hole tackled a piece
of thin leather, in which was another
egg.shaped hole, slightly smaller than
an egg. By holding the egg firmly
against this opening in the leather, every
ray of light is excluded, and the full
force of the lantern, reflector and bulls
eve are turned ON the egg. Of course
there must be sufficient opening in the
top of the box to let off the heated air.
With this tester can plainly see the
embryo in a fertile egg forty-eisht hours
alter the beginning of incubatlon.-

ARTIFICIAL VERSUS GENUINE FLOWERS.

ARTIFICIAL VERSUS GENUINE FLOWERS.
A new fad has broken out in the Fifth

From their windows one would fancy
thew were florist establishments. One or
two hats and bonnets are displayed, and
the rest of the space is taken up by a
mass of natural flowers. One most

tanned nothing but an exquisite white
hat. under whose brim nestled two pink
roses. A white opera or carriage wrap,

an enormous basket of pink roses tied

about the price of the simplest hat she
designs to sell so l venture to fancy she
can afford it. Then, as you see, the idea
is to audaciously confront the artificial
with the natural flowers. A window
containing black hat trimmed with
lilacs and crocuses held great bunch OF
these blossoms which were real, and l
must confess the triumphs of the Fren ch

Illinois Democratie Conyention.

SPRINGFIELD, H., April 26.-The Demo
cratic state convention meets here this
afternoon. The indications are Judge John
p. Altgeld, of Chicago viii be nominated
for governor and General John M. Pa mer
will be strongly endorsed for the presi-
dency, though 1t is believed the delegation
out of Difference to the wishes OF some who
favor instruction for Cleveland.
The presidential situation is the princl-
pal topic of conversation among delegates
TO the state convention, which meets to-
morrow. All day long the Palmer and
Cleveland factions have been busily at
work, and tonight the Senator's friends
discover the eX-President's adherents
have practically captured 4 majority
of the committee on resolutions. This
created excitement for a time, and there is
every prospect in place of a harmonious
convention Of having g fight on the floor
over the endorsement Of one or the other
distinguished gentlemen. The perplexity
is increased, owing to the fact that
nobody is real sure whether Palmer eX-
pected unqualified instructions or merely
an endorsement. Therefore Congressman
| Gable telegraphed him and late tonight re-
ceived a reply in which Palmer says he
does not ask absolute instructions. He
does not wish to antagopize Cleveland and
to avoid further Misunderstanding must re-
fuse the whole subject to his friends and to
the convention. as a result Of this COM
promise was practically agreed upon to-
night, providing for the endorsement OF
Palmer, but instructing the delegation tc
vote as unit for Grover Cleveland, should
his name at any time be presented by the

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-After routine
business, Coke addressed the Senate in
favor Of the free coinage of silver, basing
his remarks on Morgan's resolution on
that subject. Daniel followed Coke. At
the close of Daniels speech, the army ap-
preparation bill was taken up. Cockrell
called for a separate vote on the amend
ment striking out the proviso that no
money should be paid for the transporta-
ton of troops ana army supplies over any
non bonded lines of the Union Pacific or
Northern Pacific. a long debate ensued,
but no action was taken.
The presiding officer (Manderson) laid
before the Senate communication from
the President in response to Teller's reso-
luton as to the International conference
on the silver question. The communication
having been read, Teller remarked the
President said in it he would let no oppor-
tunity pass in regard to an international
agreement. What the friends of free silver
complained Of, Teller said, was the United
States government has been waiting for an
opportunity to come, whereas it was it's
duty to make the opportunity.
Morgan said he wished 10 debate the
communication before it went to the CON-
mittee. 1t was laid on the table. Adjourned.

Persecnted Russian Rehrnws.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-Three members
of the Hcuse committee on foreign affairs
(Geary, O'Donnell and Hsrmer) united
with Raynor in reporting to the House a
set Of resolutions in place of what they re-
gard as the perfunctory expression of sym
patty with prosecuted Russian Hebrews
and already reported by majority of the
committee. These resolutions assert the
time has now come when the United States
is entitled to take interest in the contin-
ued persecution of the Hebrews in Russia
and TO direct the American minister at ST.
Petersburg to communicate with the Rus
sian government and report whether there
is any prospect of the repeal of the
many laws; of the laws limiting the places
of residence OF the Jews and the char
acter of their occupations, and prohibiting
foreign Jews from transacting business in
Russia. The attorney general is also to
report upon the facts ascertained by the
minister as to whether or not these Rus
sian statutes and ordinances do not consti-
tute violation of the existing treaties be-
tween the United States aud Russia.
Mr.. Mason, commissioner of internal
revenue said tot day the recent decision of
the supreme court of the United States in
the case of George Reaton is liable
to be misunderstood by persons not
familiar with the facts. That particular
case, he explained, arose under the original
oleomargarine act, which did not prescribe
penalty in the case of wholesale dealers
who tailed to report to the commission of
internal revenue. The law, however, was
subsequently amended to cover this omis-
sion. 1t should be understood therefore,
it is no longer a mere department regula
ton, but provision of the law.
An elaborate bill, designed to remedy the
defects found in the working of the inter
state commerce law end to increase the
efficiency of the law, was to-day ordered
favorably reported to the House commerce
committee, which, through a sub commit
tee of the committee, has been working on
the measure for some weeks past.

The Boston Searching Tor Shlpwrecked
Sailors

San DIEGO, Cal, April 26.-The United
States cruiser Boston arrived at this port
to-day. Since leaving Callao on January
q, she has been steaming slowly up the
coast, having touched at Panama, La Lib
ertad, San Jose, Acapulco and other Cen
trail and South American ports. After her
arrival in Mexican waters che received
orders from the navy department., to
search Reyilla, Giodo islands for
shipwrecked sailors, supposed to have
been lost somewhere in that group
The islands are off Mazatlan, on the coast
OF Mexico. 1t was near them that last
September the brig Tahita WAS found
floating bottom side up and it was supposed
some of the sailors might have made a
landing upon the islands. The Tahita was
said 20 have been pirate and
SLAYER and was loaded down with
natives from the Samoan and other
islands who were being taken to the west
coast of Mexico to work in the sugar and
coffee plantations. The crew and slaves
were all lost. The Boston made a thorough
search of these islands, but found
no trace of any living human be-
ing. The island of Soccorro was
circumuavigated and searched, but
nothing but sheep and sea birds were
found. They also circumnavigated
and searched the islands of San Benedict,
Clarendon and Roca Pardeta. All these
islands were found to be desolate and GOV.
cred with cactus. The Boston will remain
till Saturday, and then proceed to Sar
Francisco.

To Place Lumber and Silver Ores on the Free
Let.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The Democratic
majority of the ways and means committee
to-day moved little further in the pro-
gramme OF attacking the present tariff
system by means of separate tariff bills
Two more ''free list" bills were practically
agreed upon by the Democratic majority
and brought before the full committee, but
owing to desire on the part of the Re-
publican minority to look further into the
measures before making a report to the
House. final action was not taken in com
mittee. The bills to be reported relate to
lumber, silver and lead ores. 1t is pro-
posed to make each free of duty. The ma
jority has not absolutely determined to re-
port free lumber bill. There is reason to
believe such a conclusion will be reached
at the next meeting.
The lumber bill follows the free lumber
section of the Mills bill, making the same
classes free of duty. The majority decided
to report a bill to admit Mexican silver and
lead ores free of duty, the bill being that
introduced by Dockery.
After having considered the question of
the constitutionality for long time, the
House judiciary committee to-day decided
to report a resolution directing that an in
vestigation be made into the Pinkerton
system. The committee came to the con-
clusion as the charges alleged the use of
Pinkerton's men by Interstate commerce
carriers, and also that their employment
resulted in violence to persons and to prop
erty, it would recommend an investigation
to ascertain if the charges were true.

The Parisians are Panic stricken.

PARIS, April 26-To state that the ex-
plosion last night at the cafe of M. Very,
at the corner of the Boulevard Magneta
and Rue Sincey has caused feeling of con-
sternation in this city is to put it very
mildly. The truth is that the people of
Paris are panic stricken at the audacity of
the Anarchists. The feeling of fear is
heightened by the apparent impotency of
the police to prevent the Anarchists from
committing outrages when and where they
please. There was reason for last nights
outrage. 1t was in M. Very's cafe that
Ravachol, the Anarchist whose trial is
fixed for to day, was arrested and it was to
