Here you find, dear feminine readers, q
promenade costume. In the original 1t Is
made of diagonal material, with an over
coat The fabric for the making of this
dress is light green and brown striped
diagonal cloth. This costume is made
in the usual manner, and has border OF
velvet underneath, cut on the bias and
so fastened that II seems TO be like
thick. round velvet foundation, but, being
merely binding, 1t can be renewed when
necessary. This dress must be lined half
way up with either silk or satin, and the
rest of the v ay with muslin. The top
part of the skirt in order to fit well, must
be sewn TO a very narrow band. and the
back must be arranged to fall in large
box-plats. Underneath the outside coat
either an English tight-ftting waist or
a Scotch silk blouse is worn. The over
coat has double fronts. The underneath
parts are cut so as to fit the figure, and
are sewn on one side, fastening on one
Of the upper sides with buttons to nit the
figure. The jacket is fitted with revers,
which in a round form proceed from
the back part, and take In the whole OF
the measure from the back. The gathered
shoulders are fitted with tight lining. The
bodice is fastened on the side With hooks
and eyes.
Some of the cloth capes prepared for
winter wear are exceedingly pretty and
the more girlish ores have two or three
frilled capes or collars, which cover the
top from the neck to below the waist.
The Tudor fashion still prevails, but is
rather different to the Tudor cape OF last
season, and the yoke is now merely simu-
lated, and not cut separatively. Some Of
the new shapes are equally suitable for
ordinary wear or for opera wraps. The
latter term means a fanciful wrap, which
a girl or woman would wear TO an even
ing occasion of rather a snowy character.

dinner at the residence of Mr.. John Il.
West the chairman of the committee,
next Tuesday evening After dinner the
details of the State Convention, which

to be followed out by the convention will
also be determined upon.
The plans for an Association building
to be erected at Clifton Forge, have been
drawn by an architect Of Chicago, and
approved by the proper authorities. The
building will at once be commenced, and
it is to be completed as rapidly as posi-
BILE. The building will cost $4,000 of
which sum $1,000 have been contributed
by the managers of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway Company. while the balance
was raised by citizens of that place.
In addition, President ingalls,, OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company.
has ordered the erection of an Association
building at Gladstone. at a cost Of $4,000.
which will be entirety paid for by the
company.
The Roanoke Railroad Association have
asked the State committee to secure a
general secretary for that organization.
Mr.. II. Clay Krebs, Of the Association
in Winchester, visited the Association
building yesterday. He reported his Or
ganization TO be in first-class condition.
Mr.. w. +. McCaughey, formerly general
secretary at Lynchburg is at present as
sisting in the work at Winchester.

EPHRAIM JOINED TO HIS IDOLS.

1t looks as though the Republicans have
not yet got enough. There are strong
Indications that they intend to keep the
Mckinley bill at the front as the battle
flag of their party. That intense and de-
testable Republios H. Cannon. Of Illinois,
who is reelected TO Congress is reported
to have said a day or so back in Wash
ington The Democrats won the recent
fight by collecting together all the dis
satisfied and incongruous political ele-
ments. They made all sorts of promises,
some white, some black, some green and
some yellow and now they will have TO
see whether they can keep them or not.
They will have TO start and march in diff
ferent directions, and we will see whether
they can all arrive at the same place.
Thank God, there is no Republican Sen
ate TO stand in their way, and they will
have TO take the responsibility for their
acts. 1t is time the people of this country
learned that elections mean something,
and that when they turn one party out
Of power and put another in II means
a change of policy. There will be another
election two years from now and an
other one in four years. and the Republi-
cans have only just begun TO fight"
This is as it should be- The country
can have no better fate than for these
men, to keep before the world their party
platform of millionaires created by law,
who will, in return. contribute the money
with which to corrupt the voters in cleo
tons. They ought TO have found out
that whole people cannot be bought,
but they do not seem to have found it
out. But 1t will be lucky for the people
If they continue to press their doctrines
until there is not a shred of them left.

II is now stated that some Of the
members of Congress from the South are
in favor of reopening the case Of Repre-
sentative Watson, of Georgia, and OF
inficting exemplary punishment upon
him for the gratuitous charges he made
against the decorum and dignity of the
House in the book he published TO ad-
vance his political fortunes in Georgia.
1t will be remembered that although the
committee appointed TO look into the
matter reported that Watson had utterly
failed TO make his charges good, Con-
gress adjourned without taking any ac-
ton on the report
We sincerely hope Congress will have
the good sense to ignore the movement
in this behalf. The testimony that Mr.
Watson was able to bring before the
committee was all published; the case
was tried at the bar of public opinion,
and Mr.. Watson was there convicted of
a false clamor. His punishment followed
quickly and surely, and, from being the
representative of a proud constituency,
he is now n "so-called" statesman with
out job His case has been heard and
disposed Of No good will come from re-
opening 1t to any one but Watson, who
might thereby secure a small boost before
the world, and a few fragments from
some old cast-off wreath Of a martyr.
but the public would only put itself in
danger of the plague, Watson, again.

SENATOR HILL.

A question is being made and consldera-
bly, discussed in the press Of the coun-
try whether Senator u. L. Hill was true
TO Mr. Cleveland in the recent election,
and whether he really and heartily CO.
operated in carrying New York for him.
The Times opposed the National Con-
vcntlon nominating Mr.. HILL and 1t can
therefore now say a WORT in his behalf
with every reason for supposing 1t will
be credited with sincerity and we say
that in our judgment any assertion that
Mr.. Hill failed in his duty TO the party
and its nominee in the late election is
not only wholly unjustifable, but most
discreditable to those who make the as
sertion.
The part which Mr.. Hill played in the
contest after the time arrived when he
thought he should go into it was brilliant
and Of the last importance. That his
great speeches and example had pro-
digious effect in New York goes without
saying, but their influence was not con-
fined to New York. His speeches were
read all over the Union with more in
terest and attention than the speeches Of
any other person except Mr.. Cleveland
himself, and their lofty patriotism and
genuine devotion to the Democratic creed
impressed deeply millions of men in the
United States. When a party man has
served the party as faithfully and as
brilliantly as Mr.. Hill has done The Times
thinks it the height of ingrautude and a
most disgraceful act for party men to
call his motives and sincerity in question.
