INDIANAPOLIS. July 3, 1S93.-As result
of the continued stringsncy in the money
market, more than 5000 men employed
in the various manufacturing industries
in this city Will be out of work today.
A majority of the manufacturers
have large amount of manufactured

fallen off in every class of business dur
ing the past month and collections are SO
slow that many factories will close down,
while others will continue but with
reduced forces. Prominent among
the firms will reduce forces OF
employees is the Indianapolis Cabinet
Works, which will close, and thus throw
!, 100 men out of work. The Parry Cart
Works will close and throw cut $50 men,
and the Udell Woodenware Works will
shut down and throw out $50 men. Tbs
Central Bicycle Works and the Indiana
Bicycle Works will each discharge a
large part of its working force. the

Saratoga Springs is determined to main
tain it's reputation as the great convention

thusiastie projectors claim, will be perfect
In every particular. They assert with sub
lime confidence that, though 1t will seat
5000 persons comfortably leach with his
own opera chairD, yet the farthest one
will be but ninety feet from the platform,
and every word of an ordinary speaker
thereon can be heard with perfect distinct
ness, Such marvel of a hall as this would
in itself be a monument indeed to this Co
lumbar year.
In the last forty years conventions al
most without number have been held at
Saratoga Springs, and while the members
of nearly all Of them have been delighted
with their experience there was increasing
complaint by a. larger bodies, and finally
national conventions OF q popular or rather
q tumultuous sort abandoned 1t altogether.
In 1871 an elegant tow hall was erected,
with a seating capacity of 1900 and stand

THE 1880 SKIRT.

The various portions of the skirt are
shown by the diagram, which takes FIVE
widths, or six yards. of the material.
The front is folded to avoid a seam, and
the measures given apply only to the
half shown, and here, If twenty-five is
the material employed, there must be q
corner formed at each side to continue
the slope of the width. This skirt is ex-
ceedingly simple In make and suitable
for all soft wooden material. It Is lined
throughout, and as it is now the fashion
for the bottom edge to stand out well
there is usually a facing of horsehair
crinoline.
The granny skirt has no darts at the
top. The front is very slightly leased"
into the band, and In each side gore are
four fat plaits, quite small, and running
off to 8 point at the hips. The back is
very closely plated, the plaits turning
backward and lying mi over the other.
