A Oueer Fad.

One of the fads of the day is an oil bath. Cottolene or cotton-seed oil Is the most approved medium A woman accustomed to the business makes en- agreements at one of the fashionable cottage colonies to oficiate each day as . rubber for a considerable con sideration. For giving softness to the skin and also that frmness of texture so much to be de- sired there is nothing better than oil. says the Baltimore News. The quan- tity needed for the exploit isvery small, for no one takes a plunge bath in the lubricants, unless it be one of the Per sian young ladies anxiously fattering herself to be fair in the eyes of her Mustapha-rut-a-lud-k But the independent young woman who is her own bather and rubber has the best of it, for she can choose her own time for the process, and. by saving the cost of a professional rubber, she can afford to use more expensiveunguent, i e., that famous mixture of inoline and cocoa
 butter which is so readily absorbed by the skin as to underline it with fat and give it the texture of a mongolia petal

Cuban sucar Planters.

Cuban planters saw their opportunity to increase their sugar trade when the south was prostrated after the civil war, and now Felix L. Osgood tells us in Good Health that two or three cents a pound is the usual price for an excel- lent yellowish-white sort of sugar, and sweetmeats have begun to supersede the greasy-mader dishes of the non- Spanish nations. Sugar-sweetened fari- naceous dishes are preferable to 6 wholly-meat diet, and nothing in the habits of our southern country folks is more surprising to Spanish-American visitors than their indifference to sac charine admixtures in the choice of their daily food, even where a pound of sugar would be cheaper than half a pound of pork. "They eat like dogs como peTros-beginning and finishing their dinner with grease; have they no palates and no care for health?" was the comment of refugee from a coun- try where the poorest laborer winds up his repast with lump of brown sugar or handful of fruit.

Protection for Foreieners.

It has been for many years the custom of American manufacturers to charge the foreigner less for his goods than he charges his fellow citizens. The reason is of course that the tariff which keeps foreign goods out of the American mar ket, or makes them so expensive that they are out of the reach of all but the rich and the we'll to do, enables the manufacturer to sell without regard to the real worth of his goods, but when he goes into foreign market he must com pete with all corners.
 From the Spanish edition of one ot the leading trade papers there has beer obtained list of prices charged in South American markets for farmers tools and from the English edition of the same paper 8 list of prices charged fol the same things in this country:

TO ARREST MlTKIEWITz
Lawyer Burke Secures a War
 rant for the Count"
CHINESE MINISTER ALSO ACCUSED

It Is Claimed That the Pair Have Been
 Swindling on Large scale-NitkIewitz
 for the Ambassador, Makes Charges
 Against Burke.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-Charles R. Burke, Brooklyn lawyer, who repre-, sents clients who say they have been swindled out of 5000 by "Count' Eugene de Mitkiewitz and the Chinese Minister to the United States, Tsui Kwo Yin, has secured a warrant at the Tombs Police Court for the arrest of Mitkiewitz on the charge of grand larceny in the first degree, and will proceed to Wash. ington with extradition papers tonight.
 He has also prepared his case against the Chinese Minister, who is not subject to suit or arrest, and will present his proofs to the State Department at Wash ington for transmission to the Chinese government.
 His efforts are likely to involve this country and China in a correspondence more interesting than that which fol- lowed the rejection of ex-Senator Blair as Minister to China. The case grows out of the scheme to obtain profitable commercial concessions from the govern ment of China.

SUNK IN BOSTON HARBoR.

Steamship Whitney Run Down by the
 Warren Liner Ottoman.
 BOSTON, Sep. 29.-The freight steam ship H. NJ. Whitney, of the Metropolitan line, bound for New York with large miscellaneous cargo, was run into last evening at 630 o'clock and sunk by the Warren Line steamship Ottoman that had been released from Quarantine and was coming up the harbor. The collision oc- cured off Governors Island.
 Although the steamship Whitney was under waterin 10 minutes, no lives were lost The Whitney sank in about 20 fathoms of water, and will probably be a total loss. She was commanded by Capt. s. NJ. Hallett. The vessel was compara- lively new, built of iron, and carried a crew of 27.
 The Ottoman's commander is J. Will Hams. with three officers and crew oi about the same number as the steamship Whitney.
 The Whitney was struck just forward of the fore rigging, on the starboard side, below the waters edge. A hole six feel long was made.

IT does not strike the Boston Herald that Judge Morris, the democratic can- didate for governor of Connecticut, uses the right word when he says that the method of choosing state officers in the state has become an object of ridicule in the other states of the union. Disgust is term that would better fit the case. There is nothing Imaginable in the proceeding, but there is a good deal that reflects discredit upon our republi- can form of government. The system is not kept up to make fun by any means; it is continued for practical purpose, which practical purpose is to fill the offices of the state with incompetents who received thousands of votes less than those who are excluded from them. Here the professed republican form of government becomes more like an oli, garchy in it's operation, and we all suffer the reproach that follows it's per version.

HARRISON AND HISTORY.
They Do Not Agree as to Some Impor-
 tant Facts.

They Do Not Agree ms to Some Kmpor-
 tant Facts.
 Mir. Harrison is evidently not 8 stu dent of American history, or he would not have written this sentence:
 "The destructive un-American doc urine Ca tariff for revenue only) was not taught or held by the historic Demo- cratic statesmen, whose fame as Ameri- can patriots has reached this generation certainly not by Jefferson or Jack son."
 Mir. Jefferson, in letter written Dec. 26, 1S25-his last public utterance-de- nounced congress and the existing tax in words that might have been written by MT. Cleveland:
 "Under the power to regulate com merce they assume indefinitely that also over agriculture and manufactures, and call it regulation, too, to take the earn ings of one of these branches of indus try-and that, too, the most depressed and put them in the pockets of the other the most fourishing of all." In 1889 MT. Webster, in a speech be. fore the Whig convention, denounced Jackson's veto message and said: ''No one can question that these para. graphs from the latest official publica tion of the president show that in his opinion the tariff, as system designed for protection, is not only impolitic, but | unconstitutional also. They are quite incapable of any other version or inter pretation. They defy all explanation and all glosses."
 Five years later, in his farewell ad dress, General Jackson himself said: "But the tax impost on goods enhances by so much the price of the commodity to the consumer, and as many of these duties are imposed on articles of neces sity, which are daily used by the grea body of the people, the money raised b, these imposts is drawn from their pock cts. Congress has no right under tn constitution to take money from the peo | pie unless it is required to execute som of the specific powers intrusted to tn the government, and if they raise nor than is necessary for such purposes it i an abuse of the powers of taxation, am is unjust and oppressive"
 Here we have Jefferson, Jackson an' Webster controverting President Harri son, and Jefferson and Jackson enun ciating and defending the very doctrin which MT. Harrison denounces as de 1 structive and un-American.-Cour | Torrna1

Young Men as Democrats.

"Young men can't be Democrats, '' wildly shrieks the Detroit Tribune. Ii is @ fact, however, the truth of which may be readily verified by any man, that the by far greater proportion of young men are Democrats. If any one doubts this let him look around among his own immediate friends and ac- quaintances-and especially those who will this fall vote for the first time-and he will find a surprisingly large number of Democratic sons of Republican sires, while the sons of Democratic families who will vote the Republican ticket are notable for their absence.-Grand Rap ids (Mich.)

A DUTY TO PERFORM,


 The democracy of Waterbury has a duty to perform next Monday. That duty is to stand firm and united in support of it's candidates, and elect them by majorities that will place Wa terbury where it belongs, in the column of solid democratic cities. The offices now held by republicans should revert back to the party which, by virtue of a greater following, should rightfully be in control. Every democrat should feel the personal responsibility that is on him to contribute to the success of the party in the municipal election. The result may have an important bearing on the presidential election in Mo- vember.
 A special effort should be made tu place the control of the common coun, cil in democratic hands. To the coun. Gil is committed the general care oi municipal affairs, and much of the city's progress depends on the zeal and ability which the members bring to the discharge of their duties.
 Final action on the petition of the Horse Railroad Go for permission tc adopt electricity as a motive power will in all probability be postponed until the new council is organized. The present republican council has shown dispo. sition to concede everything to the rail road company without cost, which is wrong. Taxpayers should not lose sight of this fact.

Asks the Government to Protect Minister
 Tsui from the Lawyer Burke.
 WASHINGTON, Sep. 29.-''Count Flu gene Mitkiewitz," whose connection with Chinese financial affairs has caused him to be subjected to much averse criticism. has filed complaint in the State Depart ment which he claims is made in behalf of the Chinese Minister to this country.
 He alleges that Charles E. Burke, a New York lawyer, tried to extort from Minister Tsui an alleged bill amounting to more than $10,000. The Minister, &C., cording to Count Mitkiewitz's statement, refused to pay the bill, and asked the Count to request protection from the United States Government. The reason assigned for the unusual action of Min is- ter Tsui in not making complaint off cially is that he is not on good terms with his interpreter and the First Secre- tary of the Chinese Legation

The Republican candidate for gov ernor of Minnesota, Knute Nelson, who voted for the Mills bill when in congress, contributed this gem to the literature of the campaign: "The price of labor is primarily governed by the law of supply and demand. The protected producer does not measure the sum he pays by the amount of protection he gets, but by the ease or difficulty with which he can pro cure labor, or by the fact whether labor is scarce or plenty"

THAT troubles never come singly has found fresh illustration. Nell, a thor oughbred Irish setter, and Top, 8 small black and tan, pets in a warm hearted Brooklyn family, both became victims of the dog distemper. Medicine did no good, says the New York Sun. and dainty food failed to tempt the ap- petites of the sufferers, who, protected by netting from annoying flies and famed during the warm days by the daughters of the family, were made as comfortable as possible until they final ly passed away. "It seemed as though everything came altogether" said one daughter, after an evening passed in sad "reminiscences of lovable doggish traits. First Top died. the Twenty third was called out and brother Jack had to go to Buffalo, and then Nell died," and she heaved sigh at the bur den of woe that had fallen upon the family in so short a time.

GAMBLING, according to an ethical authority, bears to stealing the same relation that dueling bears to murder. In dueling each combatant is necessari- ly prepared to have his life taken, and in gambling each party is similarly pre- pared to take or lose what is not prop erly his own. Of all habits. gambling is the most intrinsically savage. Nor ally, it is unchivalrous and un Christian. "All gaming" said the acute Arch bishop Whately, ''since it desires to profit at the unrequited expense of an. other, is breach of the tenth com. mandment"

A FORMER Portland man, who left that city some years ago several thou sand dollars in debt, has prospered in the west recently. The first money he received was sent east to meet his ob- hgations, and every debt has been fully paid, though many of them had become outlawed. Such instances of honesty ought not to be rare enough to excite comment, but since there are people who take advantage of the common law, to violate the moral law, it is gratifying to know that one more hon. est man has prospered.

There was once a prejudice against CottonSeed oil. But people who are alive, who investigate, who have no bigotry in their composition, have found that pure, refined cottonseed oil combined with selected beef suet is a better article in every conceivable way than hogs lard. And SO they wisely use it for cook ing-and are correspondingly healthy and happy. The sales of COTTOLENE are enormous and constantly increasing; a proof that it is appreciated by appreciative persons.
