whittier's Poetic Character.

iIcINTy.i
It has been said till it says itself that Whit
tier was the peoples poet This is true; but
he was more than that. He was the poet of a
broad humanity, and he was the poet of liv-
ing faith. His songs of freedom, which, per-
haps in his hearts depths he cherished more
than any other phase of his life's work, were
superb outbursts. He sang them as the prophets
of Israel spoke in their holy frances. The
spirit of God constrained him. He was lit
erary Hebrew. OF course it scarcely need be
said that he was no Helene The HELENE does
not trouble himself about causes" In Whit
tier the sense of moral responsibility swoke his
genius. His "artless art" as it has been well
called, was best developed In his later years,
when the freed slave and the saved country
gave an interval of rest to that uncompro.

vaguely labeled Puritan by the outside intelli-
genee of London, Paris. or New York, and
which is liable TO make the greatest failures
and the greatest successes in American litera.

A dainty satin gown is made with a full
skirt. trimmed with two or three rows of beads
just above the hem. The satin is q shade
between ecru and pale-yellow, and the crystal
beads are shaded in the same tint. The sleeves
and sash are Empire The ruffled revers have
queer little pointed lapels over them. The
lapels are bead embroidered. The band finish
ing the sleeve-puf is likewise decorated. The
style is one that would be pretty for the bro
caded satins SO much worn now, or for plain
silk gown. The pointed lapels can be omitted,
though they give an odd touch to the costume
that is quito charming.

It is most important that all care should be
given to dress-fastenings. Buttons and button
holes, hooks and eyes must be placed exactly
opposite, else the fit Of the gown will be
spoiled. 1t is exactness In these and similar
details that the amateur dress-maker must
strive for; otherwise her work will have the
careless, awkward look that distinguishes some
"home dress making" In order to obtain accu.
racy as to the fastenings there are various
methods. When two straight edges come
together they can be placed opposite each

with short lines at tho proper intervals-one
inch, except just above and below the waist
line, where it is better to have the fastenings
closer together and three-qusrters of an inch
space between them, proves more satisfactory.
When the fastening is over one shoulder aud
under the arm the task is more difficult. Then
the tapping edge must be basted in place latter
the gown has been ftted), and line marked
ON the under part at the edge of the tapping
'front.' 1t is best to afterwards haste along this
line to insure its psrmanency. Then the proper
intervals must be spaced off and the hooks and
eyes sewed on so that the edge will lap exactly
along the line.
Fine artificial flowers are often used to trim

Wisconsin's Great Murder Case,

MILWAUKEE, June 6.-The famous
Banker Mead murder case is TO come to
trial at Waupaca today. 1t Is a cause
celebre in Wisconsin criminal history,
and the contest TO bring the murdererS to
Justice has now been in progress over two
years. The theory of the case is as fol-
lows: The murdered banker, H. C. Mead.
was rather an eccentric character, and
was known to remain up until a late hour
at night in his bank working on his books.
Some one proposed that 1t would be a
good plan to give the old man scare,
and going to the bank the men forced
their way to Mr. Mead'S private room and
demanded shat he give up the coin in the
vaults He recognized the men, and in
stead of taking the thing as joke. pre-
pared to defend himself. and had he lived
his aSSailantS for burglary. Knowing
they were trapped, the drunken
crowd, unmindful of the consequences,
resolved to cover up their lesser
crime by the greater one OF murder, and
killed the aged banker In his room. That
some of the men now under indictment
were the principals in that terrible crime
the prosecution claims that the evidence
In their hands will prove, and they claim
to have an abundance OF testimony to
subStantiate the theory already outlined.
That the trial of the case will be one of
the greatest ever known in Wisconsin,
there is no doubt. The legal talent on
both sides is among the best in the state.
J. V. Quarles, who will conduct the
prosecution, is already known as great
criminal lawyer, his arraignment of
Leonard Perrin being still fresh in the
memory of the people of Wisconsin. For
the defence such wellknOwn attorneys as
c. w. Felker of Oshkosh and the firm of

The Austin Dam Bonds.

AUSTIN, Tex, June 6.-[Special.
The Board of Public Works took
action last evening on reports
from New York city, intimating
that Austin's last issue Of five hun
dred thousand dollars dam bonds
of the million four hundred thous-
and dollars issued, had been n.y.
pothecated. The board placed them
selves in communication with the
National City bank Of New York,
and produced evidence to show
that the bonds were in that bank
subject to the city's order only. If
they have been illegally deposited
elsewhere, and money borrowed
on them,it is unknOwn,to the board
here. The fact of the st. Louis
Republic publishing an interview
in which they claim to have pur-
chased the bonds, is denied by the
board here. They say when the
bonds were sent on several months
ago, another firm wanted them.
This firm backed down at the last
moment and the bonds are still in
the bank. The board says Morton
& Co. have nothing at all to say in
the matter, reports TO the con-

WASHINGTON, June 6.-COmp-

answer to questions that, $50 far
as present advises go from Chica-
go, no National Bank has been af-
fected by the furry of yesterday.
The clearing house association
stands ready, and willing to assist
and to give aid in every manner
needed. This fact will do much to
give confidence to the people, and
prevent anything like run upon
any of the National banks. The
saving bank failures of yesterday,
have not produced any consterna-
ton among depositors of national
banks, and will not. The abstract of
condition of the National banks in
Chicago on date of last call showed
a reserve of twenty-nine forty
fifth hundredths per cent or 4.45
per cent above reserve required by
law. Total resources are stated at
$I60,S64,S04, the surplus fund was
$11,516,700 and the undivided pro-
fits were $2,596,000.
