With the coming of October we well

of the leading costume artists concern
ing the coming fashions. 1t is only by
wonderful diplomacy that one can
catch the straw that shows the direc-
ton of the wind in the domain of
fashion.
Modistes ''don't know" or, if they
do, won't tell. Ladies recently re-
turned from abroad declare they have
brought only few demi-season gowns
that have nothing novel about them.
Whether the leading modistes of Paris
are still wearing their thinking caps
and have really not yet decided the
momentous question no one seems to
know; but certain it is if they have
ideas they are not revealing them to
any alarming extent. 1t is a we'll
known fact that Worth refused to send
over a case Of gowns to one of his best
customers until the middle OF the
month. In a recent interview he de-
clared it too early to speak with the
weight OF authority his name carries,
but consented to give ont a few gen.

tire would be glad and proud to be
chairman of either committee While
the committee on appropriations is
probably the most powerful, the COM
m;ttee on ways and means gives its
chairman a national reputation. For
example, everybody who has been a
diiigent reader OF the daily papers for
the past fifteen years'has known that
John G. Carlisle, of kentucky: William

mittee for a number of years. but was
made chairman only recently by the
designation of the present speaker OF
the house.
For many years Hon. Samuel J. Ran

the committee on appropriations. Mr..

Mr.. Springer from the committee on
banking and currency will report to

abolish the ten per cent. tax on state
banks, authorizing the national banks
to increase their issue of currency to
the full amount of the bonds which
they have deposited with the secretary
of the treasury and for other purposes
of similar nature.
There are 4 number of other commit
tees OF greater or less importance,
among them the committee on cleo
tions, to which committee is referred
every contested election case; the COM
mittee on the judiciary, to which is re-
ferred all questions of law; the COM
mittee on rivers and harbors, which
prepares and reports to the house

twenty millions of dollars for the i'm.

merchant marine and fisheries, on agri-

self. but he came from family Of
geniuses. One of his brothers, Jesse
by name. conceived the idea of the
corn planter and constructed the first
machine of the kind ever used for his
own use. The invention was copied
before he had perfected and secured a
patent on it: and from that crude ma
chine has been evolved the great sue
cess in farm implements known as the
check-rower. Another brother, John,
invented the first device 10Y packing
flour in barrels that was known in this
country.

on the Trinity river but followed hunt
ing mainly for living.
In the winter of 1886 it occurred to
Seth for the first time that it would be
n good thing TO DO to make an elk-horn
chair and send it to the president of
the United States. He speedily worked
out the idea and went himself with
the chair to Washington and was pres
ent with number OF state officials
when the chair was presented by one
Dr. Wozencroft, who was chosen to
make the speech. President buchanan
was greatly pleased, and in return pre-
scented Seth with the best gun to be
found in the east and a brace of fine
pistols. The president also appointed
the hunter to corral the Indians on the
Humboldt reservation. Upon his re-
turn to California Seth made i contract
to supply the government troops. and
sawmill hands of Humbol with fresh
meat at the rate of twenty-five cents
pound, which contract kept him very
busy killing bears and elk. 1t is said
that he killed as high as two hundred
and forty elk in one month, and he
claimed to have shot in his time over
eight hundred grizzly bears
In November. 1864. Mr.. Kinman ar
rived in Washington with an elk-horn
chair for President Lincoln. Chief
Clerk Clinton Lloyd, of the house of
representatives, made the presentation
speech in very happy form, and Presi-
dent Lincoln was much impressed and
pleased with the gift, and marveled
greatly at the devotion which prompted
the donor to make SO long and difficult
journey for the sole purpose of pre-
senting him with the chair
Next in turn Presidents johnson and
Hayes received chairs from the hands
of the great hunter, Mr. Hayes receiving
his while yet governor of Ohio, though
nominated for the presidency The
very fEe chair intended for President
Garfield was never presented for the
reason stated. At the time of his death,
at the age of seventy-two. old Seth was
still intent upon presidential chairs
and was preparing one for President
Cleveland, which he declared was going
to s,,rpass any of his previous produc-
tons But his life work had to remain
unfinished, and the old hunter closed
MS eyes forever upon the strange fruits
OF his genius. the trail of the elk, and
his well loved mountain home and
went away to the great hunting

greSS ana MT. SdEIOu. OI lllIuOlS. was
chairman of that committee during
the Fifty-frst congress. The present
chairman of that committee, Mr..
Savers, of Texas, has been a member
of the committe for twelve years and
is well equipped for his work. But
these gentlemen did not make national
regulations as chairmen of the COM
mittee on appropriations, as the gen.
tlemen have done who have been chair
men of the committee on ways and
means.
To the committee on ways and means
is committed the work of providing
ways and means for the support of the
government. For that reason we have
in every new congress new bill for
the imposition of customs or revenue
taxes or both. The political differ
ences between the two great parties
in our country are fought out in that
committee room and then upon the floor
of the house. One great party believes
in protection for projections sake; the
other party believes in tariff for rev.
enue only. Although the COMPRESSION
al Record contains many interesting
passages of debate between the leaders
of both parties, the most highly interest
ing and intense discussions of these i'm
portant matters occur behind the closed
doors of the committee room.
While the committee on ways and
means is providing ways and means
for the support of the government,
at the other end of the house
wing of the capitol the committee
on appropriations is learning to say
no to hundreds of hungry and
thirsty individuals who want appropri-
atoms for their personal welfare or ag-
era ndizement. The principal work Of
the committee is to provide adequate
bat economical appropriations for ex-
penditure annually by the executive
departments of the government. 1t is
generally conceded that the best chair
man Of that committee during the
present generation was Mr.. Randall, of
Pennsylvania.
There are two other committees who
are regarded as of almost equal inn
pCrtance with those mentioned: name
ly, the committee on coinage, WEIGHTS
and measures, of which Mr.. Blar:.. of
Missouri, is chairman; and the commit
tee on banking and currency, of which
Mr.. Springer, of Illinois, is chairman.
To those two committees the house of
representatives looks for the prepare
ton of bills which will prove benefi-
cial to our financial institutions. The
chairman Of the committee on coinage,
weights and measures believes in the
free coinage of silver, and he will I'M
doubtedly report from that committee
to the house. md ask action upon it,
bill providing for the free and unlim-
tied coinage OF the white metal. This
will undoubtedly precipitate great
forensic contest in the house of repre-
sentatives greater and more exciting
than the one caused by the passage of

During the Fifty-second congress
twelve thousand bills were introduced
in the national house of representa-

fourteen thousand bills will be intro

Every one of the bills that are in

In the state buildings Of the wonder

objects of rare and historic interest
which have been gathered up from out

are articles whose histories are closely

Considerably more tlabby than Mr..
