The concert toilet sketched herewith
is made Of black brocade, and the bodice
has a fitted lining over which the
brocade is draped forming full, baggy
plastron in front which hooks at the
side. The deep square yoke of shirred
chiffon is edged with ruching of the
brocade that forms two straps over the
shoulders and holds in place deep
pointed white silk embroidery that falls
on finely pleated black chiffon ruiile.
The balloon sleeves are made Of satin
duchesse and the belt is of white chiffon
hooking with rosette in back. The
circular skirt is trimmed with a zig-zag
ruching of brocade, but is otherwise
plain, fitting snugly at the hips and
lined with black satin.
The head-gear of children, especially
of little girls, is as various as that Of
grown-up fashionables. Hats, caps and
bonnets, Of all the materials known in
the milliners lexicon, challenge the
taste and the purse of the buyer. The
illustrations shows two happy maidens
who have been fitted to new coats and
oh, the bliss Of it new coverings for
their curly heads. One is a bonnet of
reddish brown felt with the corners
turned back in bewitching flap like
the door of a tent inviting you to enter
and make closer acquaintance with the
rosy dimpled cheek. A ruffle Of ribbon
at the back, of the same rick shade, and
real ostrich tip curled at the top, with
strings and bow of ribbon under the
chin, complete the daintiest poke a little
damsel ever wore. Her coat is loose
with two capes, one plain, the top one
ruftled. and big sleeves like her mamma S.
She is perfectly satisfied, for nobody on
her street, or in her class, has poke at
all like this, and she doesn't want to be
dressed like everybody else any more
than her mamma docs, and yet she doe
want to be dressed like everybody else
who dresses fashionably. That is
paradoxical woman in embryo.

THE BRAzII REBELlroS.
A Former Minister Of Dom Pedro spea KS
of the Situation

PARIS, Nov. 13.-The representative
in this city Of the United Press to-day
had an interview with Baron Penedo,
who was the Brazilian minister to the
United States for several years during
the regime of the Emperor Dom Pedro.
Baron Penedo disclaimed all knowl-
edge of the movements or policy of
Admiral Mello, who is in command Of
the federal Brazilian fleet, and said he
had no information as to the truth or
falsity of the reports that the object of
the rebellion was to restore the monarchy
in Brazil.
He added that the rebellion was no
child's play; on the contrary it was se-
rious movement. 1t was difficult to fore
see what the issue would be- Admiral
Mello appeared to possess the sinews of
war, although Baron Penedo declared
that he could not say where he obtained
them. Unlike President Peixoto, the
insurgents have no state treasury at
their disposal, yet they are spending
large sums of money.
Baron Penedo further said that he
knew Admiral Mello, and considered
him strong intellectually and tenacious
of purpose. He is good man, the
baron concluded, and he knows Just
exactly what he is doing. He is not the
sort OF man to embark upon chimeri-
cal enterprise.

In 1s43 Lord George Paulett, COM
manding a British -of-war, took
possession of the Hawaiian Islands and
raised the British flag, declaring them
to be a part of the British empire. The
British flag continued TO float over the
town of Honolulu just long enough to
allow news Of the event to reach Wash
ington, the American government to
send an emphatic protest to London,
and the British. government to transmit
orders to Honolulu; and then the same
British officer hauled down his flag, ran
up tina flag of Hawaii in its stead, and
by firing salute to the re-established
monarchy, admitted to the world that
the government of Hawaii had been re.
stored in statu quo ante.
This is, as we understand it, what
Secretary Gresham proposes-that we
shall do ourselves what we required
Great Britain to do so years ago-restore
the status quo ante. AS he says:
Should not the great wrong done to a
feeble but Independent State. by an abuse
of the authority of the United States be
undone BY restoring the legitimate govern
ment? Anything short Of that will not, |
respectfully submit, satisfy the demands
OF Justice. Can the United States consist

VET AND DRY MEASURE.

ClerkIof the Market Seth Feaster Com
mencing Needed Reform ON the Curb
stone Market.
II has been the custom for the past
year or two for those selling produce in
the curbstone markets to nse "wet"
measure for dry" For instance the
quart of beans or chestnuts has been
measured by the liquid tin cup measure.
The latter holds in one-eighth to one
ninth less than the dry measure when
the dry measure goods are measured
out by it.
Clerk Feaster proposes waging war
on this abuse. He says the proper dry
measure must be used. For this pur-
pose he has possessed himself with the
legal measures. The supposition is that
the buyer loses great deal throughout
the year on this account. Surprising
the seller of quart Of beans makes Q.
cent profit on his quart by the wet
measure, he makes another 2 cents on
the wet measure in the difference in
the capacity of the two cans.

Well, what next? Here comes the
Cleveland Leader, the champion whoop-
up-the.tariff organ of Ohio, with an
arraignment of Andrew Carnegie for
heresy towards the Republican party !
The autocrat of Homestead, the non
resident tariff baron, the importer of
Hungarian labor, the patron of Pinker-
tonism, is suspected of entertaining the
dastardly design of Hopping over to the
free tradersp at almost SEEMS" says
the Leader, through Its Washington
correspondent, "that his purpose now is
to turn into Democrat. He is certainly
preparing to flop. Let him fiop."
The grounds for this remarkable ac-
cusation are various and cumulative.
Carnegie has proclaimed his intention
to withdraw from the combination Of
steel rail manufacturers and has actu-
ally begun to sell rails at cut Of "a
per cent under the price made by the
trust.
This is terrible. It is open defiance of
one of the most sacred and time-honored
of the protection nurtured combina-
tions, and it also discredits the combina-
ton by demonstrating that steel rails
can be sold at shave of "a per cent.
Moreover, it is the act of a manufacturer
who is strong enough to defy the trust
and do as he pleases. But this is not all.
Carnegie is accused of not having come
down with sufficient liberality In his
subscription to the Harrison campaign
fund. He has ascribed the panic entirely
to financial stringency and has refused
to say that fear of Democratic tariff 70.
vision had anything to do with it, Still
worse-he has made the assertion, in
public, that "if the tariff could be made
a business question, large reductions
could easily be made without injury to
any American industry"
When, under the Harrison admins.
tration, Labor Commissioner Carroll d.
Wright transmitted to Congress his ex-
haustive report demonstrating that the
entire cost of every ingredient entering
into the manufacture of one ton OF
American steel rails, taking the ore from
the mine and counting every item Of
labor, materials, salaries, supplies, taxes,
&C., did not exceed $24S0, and that the
difference in the direct labor cost of pro
ducing ton Of standard steel rails in
this country and Great Britain did not
exceed $S,7s, his finding was discredited
by the emissaries of tho trust, who
argued that the trust price of 500 per
ton was as low as the rails could be pro.
duced at a profit and that the Mckinley
tariff rate of $13.44 per ton was neces.
sary to adequately protect American
labor. But the Carnegie company is
now selling these rails for $2l.s0 per
ton at the mills. What next?
