The New York Times Of Sunday makes
a synopsis OF an article in the Century
OF May on abuses in the Pension Office
by A. b. Casseiman. This gentleman
knows whereof he speaks, for ne served
a term In the Pension Bur ,au. ana was
70: some time special examiner and su-
pervising examiner Of the Chicago dis
trict and for the past three years has
been member Of the Board of Pension
Appeals.
Mr.. Casselman begins by saving that
the business of the Bureau has been con-
Quoted hitherto only with a view TO no.
litical results, and consequently each
commissioner has sought TO issue more
pension certificates than his predecessor.
This has encouraged fraud. and led TO
very peculiar bureau methods. The
Times notices one instance of this. as
follows:
1T counts nothing in favor OF a claim
ant that he served four years, and moth
ing against him that he served only
three months. The lateness of filing an
Application counts nothing against an
applicant. Thus A. who served four
years. and was wounded I'm battle. filed
his application In 1855. and is receiving

Last summers pretty street ad outing
suits were the distinct revival of the Elton
schoolboy's preferred uniform. Right
stunning they were, too. these trig
little blue Jackets. with their short waists
and their pointed backs rubbing over
gay silk blouses. They were carefully
fitted with q number Of seams ana bOned
withal. During the winter they still
waxcd great in favor, appearing I'm heavy
velvet betrimmed with fur as part wrap,
part gown. This spring they have proven
themselves Indispensable to the great
Chicago-ward public by little selection
OF type and a concession to sleeves.
Since the main end Of woman Is TO
wear her sleeves gayer and larger ana
more Enthusiastically than those Of her Sis
ter~. the new Etons are frequently made
without any sleeves at all This Is done
only because the jacket must from
wretched necessity be sober blue or
black. while the sleeves Of the blouse
may haunt without reproach. Sometimes
the Jacket is nominally an Elton for lack
of a better name. 1t bids fair 10 be more
widely popular than its forerunner, for
IL buttons twice against too cool breezes,
turns back In decisive revers 10 show a
lace bib or dainty plastron. made pos
sible only by the Joining fronts. A soft
silk sash may be lied about the waist
in a crumpled up bow. showing just be-
low the round. seamless and slightly far
ing bodice. And there may be sleeves
sleeves OF the dull blue and red, or
black and yellow-hecked serge, whip

A living illustration Is In sight this
minute. She is clad in blue and white,
round blue Jacket cut darinsly above the

white lace hanging from n wmte collar.
The skirt is bell and blue, and edged
with fancy braidlng. The sleeves are as

A European correspondent writing about
the difference Of treatment at the English
Court OF Ambassadors and Ministers
says that:
IN. Waddington. the French Ambas-
sador. went TO Windsor on Thursday
on the same train with Mr.. Lincoln, for
the same purpose. TO present letters Of
recall. A royal carriage took the repre-
sentative Of France in state from his
London residence to his station, and a
similar vehicle from the Windsor station
10 the castle. Mr.. Lincoln drove TO the
station in an ordinary hanson, and to
the castle in one Of the Queens private
carriages"
This distinction between foreign Ambas-
sailors and American Ministers will soon
cease. Next month Mr.. Bayard will ride
TO Windsor in splendid State carriage,
and will take precedence in diplomatic
circles Of the next French Ambassador,
who has not yet been named.

The latest news from the fashionable
centres indicate that jackets with full
skirts and very large sleeves viii be ex-
tensively worn during the fall season,
and also that the princess gown-the
newest models of which are very elegant
will be very popular As for skirts,
the double skirt win be one of the features
of the coming styles. For either jackets
or waists the pretty "godets" drapery and
the picturesque directorie revers will be
adopted. The Mcdowell
Magazines, which are the leading fashion
publications, both in Paris and this
country, contain many designs of all the
newest styles. Moreover they give les
sons on practical drcssmaking which are
of great assistance to professional, as
well as to amateur dressmakers. And
what is still more advantageous, Messrs.
A. Mcdowell & Co. reproduce any of
their illustrations(o (or indeed, for that mat
ter, any design clipped from any other

The second edition of The Costnopoli-
tan for September brought the total edi-
ton up to 2l1 900 copies, Without doubt
the largest edition of any magazine in the
world for this month. 1t remained for
The Cosmopolitan to have the Worlds
Fair treated in single number by twelve
different writer's. AS the exposition of
1898 must remain one of the leading
events in the history of the United States,
the most distinguished men We're asked to
prepare this magazine volume, which is
destined to become valuable as one of the
most perfect descriptions of the Worlds
Fair. Among the number of those who
contribute are our only ex-president,
Walter Besant, the most distinguished of
the English literary men who visited the
exposition, and host of others. Besides
the usual fiction, including story by
Mark Twain, entitled, els He Living or
Is He Dead and the regular depart
ments, The Cosmopolitan contains near
ly one hundred illustrations devoted to
the Worlds Fair, including eleven fpll
pages. 1t is pronounced one of the most
remarkable of the publications yet issued
regarding the Fair. 1t is a completely
illustrated guide or souvenir, as one pre-
fers to call it, by the most famous writers
of the day, put before the reader at the
price of ~ - cents, and more than the
equal of the books of the Fair which sell
for seventy-fve cents and one dollar.

1t has been a stock argument with
Democratic newspapers and orators
that wages depended wholly upon
supply and demand, and that the tar
if had nothing to do with it. With
this in view it is rather amusing tc
hear men of this party, like Gov.
McCorkle, begging the ways and
means committee not to reduce the
tariff on certain articles because the
wages Of thousands of men would be
effected. GOV. Mckinley, who is
leading a spirited campaign in Ohio,
scores them in this style:
Governor McCorkle of West Vir.
ginia wants the tariff on coal lei

Davis of Maryland, also Democra
like Governor McCorkle, appealed tt
the committee to keep it's hands of
the Mckinley law.

and the rice growers of Georgia have
had word to say, and Mr.. Holden

great Democratic organ, told th,
committee if they interfered with the
tariff on lead ores, the workers in Til,
lead and silver mines of the Unitet
States would be driven out of EN-
ployment.

The Theory OF PeriodicitY.

1t is within range of probability that
scientists of the next generation will be
able to arrive at definite conclusions in
regard to the recurrence at stated Pc
RODS of not only natural phenomena,
but also of sociologic and economic con-
ditions. The next step after that may
be TO connect those recurring economic
and sociologic conditions with the peri
0dictlly returning natural phenomena,
such as perhaps violent and frequent
sunstor1ns. Magnetic disturbances on
the earth are already known to occur at
the time Of maximum sun spots.
Interesting indeed it will be for the
Herbert Spencer Of the twentieth century
TO discover that within stated number
Of years given moral and physical con-
ditions return upon the human race gen.
orally He will find, for instance, that
the years 1892 and 1893 were time Of
terror in many parts of the earth. Now
In 1893 cholera RACES in Asia and to
less degree in Europe. In Great Britain
horrible mania for suicide seems to
have taken possession of the people, a
ghastly mania which seems spreading to
America as well.
Labor disturbances and great strikes
are trying the resources of the people to
the utmost on both sides of the water.
In America we have financial stringency
such as has not been known in 20 years
or more. The financial disturbances be-
gan with the collapse Of Argentine and
later of Australian credit two years ago
and spread like circles in the water till
they reached America.
The terrible grip that ravaged the earth
two years ago has not ceased its work.
The droughts of the present summer in
Europe are almost unprecedented in his
tory. Our own country in the past two
years has been swept by storms of al
most unparalleled fury. Such cyclones
have nc been known in a quarter of a
century as those that occurred along the
Atlantic coast this summer. Train rob
berry, highway robbery a.id burglary are
so frequent as to have given rise to the
remark that they are epidemic. Fires
have devastated equally with storm.
Murder, riot and deeds of violence make
the reading of the daily newspaper a
thing to be dreaded. If these horrors
recur in regular cycles, let Us hope that
the present enc is nearly ended and that
more cheerful events are Immediately
