Stanley, the African explorer, is a can
didate for election to parliament, but thus
far his canvass has not been attended with
happiest results. His appearance on the
platform at North Lambreth few days
ago was greeted with groans and his intro
duction received with laughter and yells.
When he began to speak the audience
guyed him numerically. The day was all
but lost when Mrs. Stanley, who had twice
burst into tears on account of the insults
and broad jokes showered upon her hus-
band, sprang to her feet and cried: "When
all of you and are dead and forgotten the
name of Stanley will live, revered and
loved" This caused the crowd to hesitate
and Stanley worried through his speech
with the aid of the police. Stanley is dis
liked by the constituency which he desires
to represent for the reason that he was
once an American citizen.

a Fearful Railroad Disaster at Harris
burg, Pa.

A disastrous railroad wreck took place
at 1880 Saturday morning on the Penn
sylvania railroad in the city limits at Har-
risburg, Pa. The second section of the
western express from Philadelphia, ran
into the first section at Dock street, COM
pletely telescoping two cars. Ten persons
were killed outright, two were fatally in
iured, and 40 were more or less seriously
hurt. All that can be learned about the
cause of the collision shows that it was due
to dsobedience of orders by telegraph
operator, who permitted one train to enter
a block before the other had left it. The
Pennsylvania railroad has doubtless the
most perfect block system in the country
but any system must be dependent upon
the vigilance and care of.a large number
of men. The operator at fault in this
case was not an experienced man, and per
haps the company's officials may he blam-
able for putting him in SO responsible a
place. The young man, whose name is
Hayes, is now in jail on the charge of man
slaughter His mental distress is terrible
to witness and fears are expressed that he
may lose his mind. He withheld nothing
from the coroner's jury, admitting that he
was responsible for the wreck.

Freshet in Caledonia.
Damage by High water in the vicinity
Of 81. Johnsbury.


Heavy and continuous rain at St. Johns
bury Monday night raised the rivers to a
great height, damaged the railways and
highways and swept away bridges. No
trains had left or arrived at St. Johnsbury
from midnight to p. NJ Tuesday. There
are washouts on the Passumpsic road and
the railroad bridge is gone near West
Burke. At West Concord, on the st.
Johnsbury q Lake Champlain railroad, a
freight train was derailed. Sleeper's river
rose in few hours to the highest point
ever known. The Fairbanks scale factory
is located on this stream and for a few
hours it was feared that great damage
would be done. The railroad bridge and
the bridge between the foundry and ma
chine shops have been carried into the riv-
er. Several shops have been flooded and
the foundations weakened. The Fairbanks
company's loss may reach 5000. This
is the greatest freshet in Caledonia county
since 1869.
The high water in the river at Lyndon
vile has overlooked the banks, doing con-
siderable damage. The property owned by
Mark Hovey on Centre street was sur
rounded by water and the family left the
premises in boat. There was no use of
bridges between Lyndon Centre and Lyn-
donville, the mail being carried by boat as
the meadows were flooded.

The Ridinr Hahit.

The riding habit of year or two ago
was as nearly perfect as things nun
dane are ever apt to be. The skirt was
short enough to clear the stirrup. and
people had begun to wear low hats in
stead of the high silk monstrosities of
a few years previous. The bodice was
the most delightfully."- trig and trim
affair, with its perfection of fit and its
snowineSS of collar and cuffs. The
waiStcoat was perfectly fitted, and the
white color, of which it was generally
made, gave sufficient tone and bright.
ness to the costume. But now that the
day of blOuses and f1aring jackets has
come, there are a great many women
who cannot make up their minds ever to
wear anything else.
Their figures are not only concealed,
but disGgured in the loose folds in
which they choose to envelnp themsel-
yes. In the old neat-fitting bodice the
curves of the figure are we'll defined,
and the severity of the shoulder lines
and sleeves is a pleasing and restful
contrast to the frillS and fullness of the
walking bodice. Even as far as comfort
is concerned it is to be doubted if the

inside her blouse with every movement
of her horse, is much more comfortable
than the bodiceclad women. For both

the cloth revers. Low crowned sailors
are almost universally worn for riding.

Flowers for Fall.

Many of your plants will require re-
potting before you take them in for the
winter, says e. E. Rexford, in the La
dies Home Journal. Begin to get
material ready now. You will fluid it a
pleasant task to 60 into the woods and
pastures with basket and trowel and
gather turfy matter and leaf mold from
about old stumps and in the corner of
the fence. And while you are getting
soil together for reporting plants this
fall be sure to get more than you need
for that purpose and store 1t away for
winter use. There will always be plants
that need top dressing with fresh soil,
and some will require an extra change
of earth, and there will be new ones,
and so supply of potting material will
come handy all the year round. Don't
wait until cold weather is at hand be-
fore you begin the work of reporting.
Do it while you have warm and
pleasant days. and the work will be
done better than it would be in cold.
raw weather. Another reason why it
should be done now is, it will give
your plants chance to get established
before it is time to take them into the
house. Ii you wait until the last mo-
ment, they will go into winter quarters
with condition far from what 1t ought
to be,

A Flower Screen.

Here is suggestion for the woman
who lives i'll q fiat, or the one who hates
to have her pet flowers as far away as
the garden, or the semi-inyalid who
cannot go down in the midst of the
plants.
A firm screen made of some hard
pine or any other wood is constructed
with an unusually heavy fran. This is
to be stained and vanished so that
water cannot hurt it. Cover the screen
on both sides with some chosen color
of cartridge paper tackled lightly on.
A dull green will be effective, or some
shade of brown OF tan. This also is not
easily damaged and can be renewed
with little trouble. Shelves for small
pots Of flowers are placed on each fold
of the screen. At the bottom light boxes
may be supported by brackets. Tvs
square standards where the screen folds
come will support two pots. If balanc-
ing is needed 1t can be supplied by a
bracket Or two OIL the other side for pots
or jardinleres sufficiently heavy.
The screen may stand on a veranda in
summer. and be placed so the plant side
will face the sun. being reversed at will.

Gloves for Summer

All Paris has gone daft on the subject
of embroidered and beaded gauntlet
gloves, says the New York World. They
come in all possible shades and CON-
binatiOnS-pearl gray with black stitch
ing on the back and the cuff, dark
tan embroidered with bronze heads,
black with lavender stitching for the
aleviated melancholy of the second
mourning" period, and the like. But
New York for once has failed to follow
the lead. The reason is that the sleeves
are still worn so long here that the
gauntlet glove, especially when heavy
and stiff with beads or embroidery, is
an uncomfortable thing for wearing.
Still, it is probably only question of
time, for the shop windows show these
gloves with persistency that is likely
to sell them eventually.
What New York is wearing is white
suede and white chamois-that is. all of
hand. The gloves are sometimes
stitched in black with black fastenings,
but the all-white seem to he preferred.
They are very dainty things to wear
with ginghams and outing dresses. and
are particularly affected by the blue
suited, blue-SailoIed girl. The yellow
channels are somewhat less popular, for
the color is harsh and glaring, but its
washable properties render il dear to
the economist.
For evening wear gloves come in all
the colors-not of the rainbow, but
rainbow tints refined and made delicate
to the last degree. Pale reseda green,
heliotrope which has scarcely more than
a hint Of purple, straw color, plnkish
fawn and few old shades of mode are
some of the colors that wrinkle up the
arms of the summer girl at seaside
dances. They come in all lengths, from
S-button to ~.
The proper way to wash the channels
gloves is not by rubbing or wringing.
Put them on the hands and wash gently
with a soft silk rag, dipped in soapy
water. Then rinse by sponging with
clear water. Pat the gloves as nearly
free from water as possible. If time Is
no object it is an excellent plan to let
them dry OH your hands. Ii this can.
not be done, remove them carefully
and, when they are nearly dry, put
them on again. in order that they may
resume the shape of the hand An en-
terprIsing manufacturer, by the way,
has invented a wooden hand for the
drying of washable gloves, but 1t is a
rather expensive luxury and not so
satisfactory as the other process.
