striped silk can be effectively trimmed
with figured gauze, guipure lace and a
little black satin. Another popular COM
bination is yellow and white or yellow
and black.
The most enticing gowns are those
made Of the new cotton fabrics and
washable goods. of which there is q
choice variety, from the sheerest lawn
to heavy linen. And these are the ap-
proved summer dress for both old and
young. When fashioaably trimmed,
they are not exactly ready for the wash
tub, but they are supposed to endure Tor
one season and can easily be renovated
for tho next. "Cotton gown" suggests
at once q perfectly clear idea of some
thing so cheap and simple that one is
Immediately prompted to indulge in nu-
merous additions to the wardrobe, but a
little experience in buying silks. satins,
ribbons and laces for the trimming Of
these fabrics leaves 7oggy uncertainty
as to the economic result.
Linen dresses are mostly made with
the coats and skirts, but delightful
change from this common style, with all
its comfortable advantages, may be
found in the description of a white linen
gown made with plain skirt, trimmed
with one band Of ecru insertion below
the hips, blouse bodice with jabot
in front of yellow surah, spotted with
black, and over this is worn a short
white linen cape, full al the back, almost
straight over the shoulders, with revers
finished with ecru insertions.

Bronze and Suede Ties.

The bronze ties ndslippers which are
popular for home wear have one advan-
tage which their rivals, gray suede shoes,
lack. The bronze slipper and bronze
silk stocking have happy faculty of
suiting almost any housedress-black,
white, pink or blue-whereas the gray
suede looks well only with a gown that
exactly matches or with black.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1893-08-24

The new style Of vest is seen to advan-
tage in rather coarse white linen, with
broad lapels ornahented with large
pearl buttons and worn in conjunction
with stiff fronted striped shirt, plain
white turned down collar, satin era
vat and n thin navy serge or beige alpaca
skirt, simply trimmed around the hips
with three rows of undulating or wavy
hohair braid about half an inch wide.

Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1893-02-01

THERE is considerable talk of Chair
man Wall being appointed secretary
of the interior in Cleveland's cabinet,
and the fine hand of Senator Villas is
seen in the project for reasons set
forth 10y The Sentinel as follows:
It seems, however, that such an ap-
poinf ment is being seriously contem-
plated Mr.. Wall is poli ical pro-
tegs and personal friend Of Senator
Villas. The New York World Of last
Wednesday, in an account of the
callers on Mr.. Cleveland the previous
day, mentions Mr.. Wall as one of
them, and says that he ''has been
pressed by Senator Villas for a place
in the cabinet" Later reports say
that the position for which the sena-
tor urges his friend is that of secre-
tary of the interior. No one will be
surprised that Senator Villas should
desire this thing. 1t would be quite
an ideal arrangement for the senator
to have a devoted and manageable
friend in charge of the interior de-
partment. Just now, especially, such
a man, who would take liberal views
respecting the titles to pine lands,
would be extremely convenient and
comfortable.

About Millionaire Senator's.

In the last campaign it was heard
from nearly every stump speaker on
the Democratic side about the dis
graceful and mercenary picture which
was reflected from the Republicans
by their course in elscting millionaires
to the United States senate, and the
promise was made that when the
Democrats had the opportunity they
would set theexample of a party who
knew how to sit down on millionaire
candidates for the senate. Well, their
opportunity came in the case of New
York and they cast aside Hiscock,
who is by no means a rich man, and
elected in his place the millionaire
brewer, Murphy. Later on came an
other opportunity in New Jersey, and
behold our Democratic friends elect
Millionaire Smith to The United States
senate And when we pass on to our
own state Of Wisconsin the hollow
ness of last falls talk is very palpable
and the Democrats are proven liars
by the record. Mitchell, whose chief
qualification lies in the fact of his be-
ing a millionaire, is elected to the
United States senate by Democratic
legislature, and Bragg, who is without
purse and poor, but possessing a
national reputation as a legislator,
an orator and soldier, is relegated
to the rear and made to realize with
bitterness the ingratitude and COM
plete qualification of the Democratic
party of Wisconsin. Promises are
easily made by party for the pur-
pose of pulling the wool over peoples
eyes and riding into power, and in the
playing of this particular role the
Democratic party double discounts
any other party that ever existed in
this country.

DEFEATED for the senate, John H

DEFEATED for the senate, John H.
Knight is now an applicant for a
seat in Cleveland's cabinet. On this
point The SentinePs Madison CORES
pondent says:
By the terms of the contract under
which Col. Knight delivered his sena-
torial stock in trade to John l..
Mitchell, SO the story runs, Knight
received in return the solid indorse-
ment of the milwaukee" wing of his
party for a position in the official
family of Grover Cleveland. 1t be-
came common talk here to-day that
his friends are circulating a petition
to this effect, and that the petition
has received the signatures of the
most prominent Democrats outside
the Bragg ranks. Judge w. H. Stat
ford of Chippewa Falls is the man
who has been entrusted with Knights
cabinet boom. Some of Knights
closest political friends here tonight
substantially confirm the rumor as
to his cabinet candidacy, though
they will say nothing about the iden-
tity of the signers to the petition pet
1t is, however, known that
the petition was circulated among
the Democrats most prominent in
Senator-elect Mitchell's campaign,
and it received many signatures.

$35, 900 nearly forty years ago, and
that, too, of money paid in by the
people in taxes, not interest money
received from banks and railroads.
That snug sum, figured at the same
rate OF interest computed against the
ex-treasurers, would make a very
handsome aggregate. Now let these
glib takers about thieves and rob-
bers show their piety by making good
to the state this real theft with inter

Wisconsin Democrats Love Doodle.

st. Louis Post Dispatch Dem !:
The senatorial fight in Wisconsin is a
triangular contest between a man
with a lot of money, a man with
more money and a man with no
money at all but with great force Of
character and experience in public
life. To plain man there ought to
be no difficulty in deciding between
the three, but Wisconsin Democrats
display remarkable love for bare
Doodle as a senatorial qualification.
The prize is likely to go to the second
of the trio.

NOT less pertinent than other
features of the February Review Of
Reviews are Prof Edward w. Bemis'
article on the recent results of NUM-
cipal gas making in the United States
and Mr.. Robert J. Finley's article on
electric street lighting in American
cities. Mr.. Bemis dIcusses with much
detail the municipal gas plant by
eighteen American cities which have
had the enterprise to go into the bus
mess of the production and sale Of
gas. He makes a very favorable
showing for municipal ownership.
Mr.. Finley in like manner makes a
strong statistical case in favor of di-
rect ownership and operation of cleo
trio street-lighting plants by munlci
pal governments.
