stition now exists only in the back
woods districts. New York City
furnishes a striking proof to the con-
trary. 1t seems to be widely spread
among one OF its most intelligent
classes of citizens. The managers OF

upon some new method to make life more
miserable than it has been yet. This
year they have lighted upon the softest,
filmiest, gauzest bit OF woman's tog-
gerry, her veil. Unless you wear ex-
actly the correct thing in wells, you are
lost You might as well stay home.
You will incur the severest displeasure
of her majesty the royal mistress OF
the modes. Strange To say. there Is
great latitude given you, but the thing
is TO get in the right latitude. Check,
lozenged, or stripped tulle goes, but 1t
must seem TO have come from a spider s
loom. 1t must not conceal the features

OF color you may also make use OF
pink, white, ciel blue, or reddish brown
tulle with chenille spots and applique
lace borders; pink tulle must have red
dish gold spots; ciel blue must have
black, and marine blue the same tone.
These spots must be large and velvety.
The confetti" is the very latest
wrinkle; il is in black and tulle, strewn
over with white or maize-co .ored spots.
Fancy the effect of such veil upon a
big hat; it will be striking, but the sum-
mer girl is fond of striking effects. She
lives on the excitement of the hour.

kinder to brutes than TO men. Lepers
in India we're treated with shocking In

THE late Mr.. William Astor, In and
by his last will, made charitable be-
quests amounting to about 5000, 900,
and yet some people complain that
this sum is Insignificant. We think
Mr.. AstOr must be deemed the better
judge. The objects of his bounty
appear to have been judiciously cho-
sen. Among them are the Home for
Respectable Aged and INDECENT Fe-
males in the city of New York,
S15, 900: TO the Astor Library, $780,
900; and TO the WOmen's Hospital,
$40, 200. 1t Is pretty safe to assume
that about half the reported value of
his estate is nearer its real value than
the amount reported, and it is quite
certain that he took nothing away

y DR.. RAINsFoRD thinks "the work
man has as much-yes, more-right
TO the saloon than the clubman has
to his club" The preacher starts on
untenable ground. 1t may be true
the clubman has less need for the
club, in one sense, than the workman
has for the saloon, because the for
mer has an elegant home. But the
preacher is too well informed to be-
lieve that, therefore, there is an ex-
cess of right in either case. Both
stand upon an exact equality; The
workman has as undoubtad q right to
GO 70 his saloon as the clubman has
to enter either his home or his club,
and no argument based upon a con-
trary assumption is worthy a reply.
If Mr.. Rainsford would apply the
light he has to the subject he would
discover a better work for the church
than the establishment of saloons to
equalize the rights" of the classes.

T\oR ROYAL
" BAKING POWDER.
The Royal" is
' shown by all tests,
official, scientific,
and practical,
stronger, purer, and better
in every way than all other
baking powders.
Ifsome grocers try to sell
another baking powder in
place Of the " Royal" it is
because the other, being
made with cheaper and in
ferior materials, costs them
less. Thus, though selling
for the same, it gives less
value to the consumer.
Look with suspicion up
on every attempt to palm
off upon you any baking
powder in place Of the
"Royal." No other baking
powder will do its work.

Prize Ring Money.

New ORLEANS, Sept l2.-The prize fight
excitement which has ragged for two
weeks is ended. New Orleans has re-.
turned to its normal calm. The pugilists
and all the visitors have gone. The
Olympic club refuses to back prize fights
now and will make no other arrange
ments, The next fight will be in Febru-
ary. The club estimates its profits at
100000, but the figures have not yet been
made public.
The crowd present spent some $780,
600 to 100000 in New Orleans. How
ever, they made very little on the betting,
losing good deal on Myer, and winning a
little on Corbett. The pool rooms came
out exactly even, without cent cf profit.
Corbett, Sullivan, McAullfe and Dixon
will devote themselves to the stage.
Skelly retires to domestic life and Myer

For time, at least, the admirers of the

tions at an early hour this morning were
that heavy vote would be polled. This
is the first election in the state under the
Australian ballot law, and both sides
claim that the new method Of voting will
prove an element in their favor. Both
parties have conducted an energetic cam
paign for the past few weeks. The friends
of ex-Speaker Reed saysthas he will have
a comfortable plurality, although they
hardly expect that the plurality of two
years ago, 4,SO0, will be repeated, for the
reason that the Democrats did practically
nothing that year, while this year they
are well organized and expect to get out
nearly their entire strength. The votes
for governor in 1890 was as follows: Bur
leigh, Republican, 64,2l4; Thompson.
Democrat, As. .331 Clark, Prohibitionist,

The Endemic.

New YORK, Sept. 12.-Three steamers
were released from quarantine Saturday
afternoon the health officers having been
convinced that no sickness occurred in
the vessels during their voyage to this
port, and vigorous examination on their
arrival here, showing not the slightest
trace OF the dreaded cholera or and chol-
eran disorder whatever. To render assur-
ance doubly sure, however, each OF these
vessels had to undergo good course of
fumigation and disinfeCtion and every
person on board Of them was put in such
a condition that it was impossible for
them to convey any contagion to this city.
The first of these steamers to sail from
quarantine was the Britannia, of the
White Star line from Liverpool, which
left the anchorage she had occupied in the
lower bay about an hour later, the steamer
Joseph John, from the cholera infected
port of Hamburg, steamed toward the
city, followed by the Dutch steamer Zoon-
dam from Antwerp. The board OF health
issues the following bulletin: "No cases
