q picture that possibly some American
bride may care to borrow the same
idea in dressing her little pages.
The young sister wore frock made
of white mousseline de sole over pale
blue silk slip. The short skirt was
fluffy with billowy ruffles. A kerchief
of mousseline de sole was draped over
the shoulders and tied in front with
long ends. The puffed elbow sleeves
were of pale blue silk. A big leghorn
hat rested on a crown of bobbing yell
low curls. The brim was faced with
the shirred mousseline de sole over blue
silk, the crown being hidden by
cluster of white tips. The small maiden
carried shower bouquet of forget-me-
nots in her daintily gloved hand.
Her escort was attired in black vel
vet knickerbockers, with Highland
coat of pale blue satin. His wais tcoat
was of white silk. Black silk stock
ings and blue satin slippers completed
the costume.

most any town in the orange-growing

oranges in halves and rub the fat, ex-
posed pulp on the floor. The acid in
the oranges doubtless does the clean

ABOUT PIN CUSHIONS.
Fashion Has Once More Declared
In Their Favor.
Lace and Ribbon Essential to True Ele-
Eance-r lys;:!As That Are as Dainty
as Dainty Can Be-Hat-
Pin Cushions.

At first Thought pin cushion is q
Mosaic thing. 1t is highly necessary
object, receptacle for an essential ele-
ment of the toilct-mayhap conven-
ience which we should none of us like
to be without. A search among the
assortment of to-day will reveal some
fresh and interesting facts, and will
show that the cushion has developed
out of the prosaic into something genu-
inely dainty and genuinely attractive
apart from it's obvious use.
There are almost as many varieties
of cushions as there are Of pins, and
the well equipped woman has many
sizes and many sorts. She not only
has her dressing table well supplied
and her hat pins, her scarf pins, her
stick pins and her plain everyday pins
provided with fitting receptacles, but
she has also her pocket cushions, which
she carries in her shopping or handker-
chief bag.
A bright girl once paraphrased the
familiar couplet with:
IA pin in need
Is friend indeedr'
and doubt if there lives even one Of
her sisters who would question the
truth so put. The want of pin has
many time become veXation and a
trial; the need of just one of the ia
miliar objects has been the cause of
many loss of temper, and the fashion
that declares cushions essential is an
excellent one from an ethical as well
as from the merely utilitarian point of
| view.
The very latest decree of fashion de-
clares lace and ribbons essential to
true elegance, and prefers that the
dressing table cushions should be
round. 1t asserts that pocket cushions
are to be the vogue, and it makes sug-
gestions for both my lady's boudoir
and for less aesthetic mans own room,
as well as for his pocket cushion,
which is really what its name implies.
The round cushions of embroidered
linen and lace are nearly as dainty as
dainty can be, and the long, narrow,
rectangular ones made from the same
or similar materials arc charming
apart from their usefulness, which is
of course, the first point to be borne in
mind.
AS pretty model for a lady's use as
any that have seen is made of fine
white Japanese linen, Oriental lace
and yellow satin ribbon. 1t is one Of
the largest shown and would measure
nine or ten inches in diameter. 1t is
well stuffed, as all cushions, not es
pecially round cushions, should always
be, and it has an under side of cowsliI

The owners of the st. George building
on Fourth street are about to remove the
old wooden structures that now disgrace

town the good work is progressing
Some persons who have become accus-
toned to the use of these sheds for a
quarter of a century are 10th to part with

City Trustees and ordered down, but the
owner has refused to comply, and yester-
day Building Inspector q. w. Nichols

1t is useless for any one to attempt to
contest the Trustees right to have these
unsightly structures removed from the
public streets, as the city has full control
of the sidewalks. The fact that such
things have been permitted to stand all
these years gives property no
right to forever maintain them.

An Eastern Journal saws:


The feelings and fortunes of the Siamese

OF account as those of turkey fated TO hear
Two men quarreling over the way TO carve and
divide it.
That is tue. The rights of the Siamese
to their own land are not at all taken into
account by France and England. The
latter is permanently roosting upon Bur-
nah. France wishes to occupy the next
perch bordering on Burmah, to wit, the
$1,000 square mile strip between the
mountains on the border of Anam and
the waters of the Mekong River.
Siam, for the sake of peace, says: "Take
half Of it, leaving US half between you
and the English, and by which we may
have passageway to China" Thereupon

suits a Siamese Mandarin. The latter
whips out his knife and carves the

France wanted. and demand for indem-
nifty was at once filed, and that indem-
nifty, it was given to be understood, must

strip as long as California and one-uuar-
ter as broad.
AT the same time the Anamese King, a
French puppet, piped in, claiming that
from the mountains to the Mekong the
territory once belonged to a King of
Anam, ages ago, and that as France is the
real owner of Anam she has succeeded
to the title to this strip of territory.
If now France can secure this prize she

that the latter cannot close. She will also
nestle alongside of the English in Bur-

carry on war of conquest in the Orient.
To do so she must postpone her sweet re-
Venge upon Germany and put off the re-

The financial embarrassment of France
may, therefore, check her activity in
Siam. She may be only "shouting' and
have no real intention of adding millions
OF francs to her present obligations to

whether this whole Siamese matter is

NOTE AND COMMENT.

Our evening contemporary, the Bee, is
ever boastful, and does not hesitate TO
willfully lie in order to get foundation
for its Dragging. Last evening it made
great noise over its alleged journalistic
enterprise in printing the lists of promo
tions in the schools, claiming that it pub
lshed them first, intimating that its
bright young men" had done wonders
in capturing these tieeting items of news,
and claiming that the other papers scis-
sored them out of the Bee for use the
next day.
The fact is. these lists are sent regularly
every year to the newspaper offices in
manuscript, and each paper prints them
as space will permit as soon after receipt
as convenient. This year the first list
published was in the RECORD UNION

The ''Ladies' Entrance'' CrusaIc.

The Ladies' Entrance'' Crusade.
EDS. RECORD UNION: In the crusade
against the Ladies' Entrance" doors it
seems it is simply warfare against the
saloon. W lille l am strictly III favor Of
closing every saloon with the name
ladies Entrance" attached to it in any
way, am also in favor Of GisaIlowing
restaurants TO dispense liquors behind
the screen of Ladies' Entrance" to the
restaurant;
It is something astonishing to see the
amount Of Intoxicating beverages that is
daily and nightly sold to women and
even young girls behind this convenient
restaurant sIgu. When a woman or
young girl enters a door bearing the
sign Ladies' Entrance" (if it he a saloon)
it is a fatal step. Tor in unwritten letters
over the door hangs the ghostly sign, "She
who enters here leaves hope behind"
which Is without doubt a deplorable fact.
But with all this. it is AS much a crime
for them 10 purchase liquor at a restau-
rant table, under the guiSe OF taking
lunch, as 1t is to drink al the saloon
table. l am with you i'll the crusade
against the Ladies' Entrance" signs on
saloons, and l think it would be wise 10
investigate the evil which may come
from the restaurant. 1t is the first step
to DEGRADATION. a few drinks at the
'cate," and next a few more in the back
room of the saloon, and all hope is lost.
But | am of the opinion that it all be-
gins at the restaurant table. | am travel
ing all the time, and have made close
study of this question. 1t is often l must
eat in restaurant while on the road, and
l have had ample opportunity OF seeing
this evil practlced in suburban town, as
well as cities outside of Sacramento. |
have talked to great many saloon keep
ers of this evil, and nine out of ten of
them are willing to abolish this Ladies'
door" business. OF course L mean the
better class OF saloon men.
And why should they feel otherwise?
The sign of Ladies' Entrance" on a sa-
loon door is enough to disgrace the pro-
prietor as well as his customers. Show
me saloon with its doors wide open,
and no sign on the back door, and l con-
slider the owner a more honest man, a
more desirable citizen and better man
for the community at large than one who
dispenses intoXicants behind the Ladies'

THE KANSAS EXAMPLE.

It is no wonder that the times in Kan
sas are a deep shade darker than any
where else. 1t is the natural result of
the policy of the Kansas administration:
for capital, the coward will not invest
where the Government declares that it is
in sympathy with efforts to destroy the
security. The mine-owners need capital
to work the properties; strikers declare
that the mines shall be operated on scales
that they, and not the owners fix. The
Governor and Sheriffs tell the strikers
that they are right, and the State proceed
ing to reorganize the militia in way to
give the lawless assurance that they will
not be harmed, capital takes fright, and
runs on banks follow and investment
ceases.
The Governor of bleeding Kansas,
while formally saying that the peace
must be preserved, is notorious as Pop
ulist law-breaker, as an encourager of the
strikers in the mines, and all the officers
under him down to the Constables pipe
to his tune. OF course under such con-
ditions men will not risk their money in
enterprises that to operate must be cap
italized. Depositors in good banks be-
come frightened and withdraw because
OF the fear that their capital may be put at
the mercy of the lawless element. The
result is that the collapse of money insti-
tutions and enterprises in Kansas has
been greater and more disastrous than in
any other State, except Colorado, where
another special condition operates.
If this is the result of Populist doctrine
and politics, the party is not likely to
spread over much ground hereafter. Self
government is supposed to mean mutual
protection; but under the Populist policy.
as manifest in Kansas, it means ''up with
Us and down with everybody else"

THE proposed subscription for purse
for the Duke of Veragua is ridiculous.
There is no reason for it to move Amer
lean sympathies. If there was gratitude
to Columbus due from us we might re-
fuse to see his descendant come to want;
but as matter of fact gratitude is not
due in this case; at least is not felt CO.
lumbar pride makes no demand upon
us, either. Veragua is not so bad off as
tens of thousands of our own, of merit
and worth. And if he is, his own nation
might come to his relief. He has proved
by the acceptance of the proffer of aid
that he is not above penny, and that he
is perfectly willing to be dubbed beg
gar. If he had the pride of the true aris-
tocrat he'd starve in a stall before he
would permit the hat to be passed in a
