Senator Stewards Say.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. June Ex-senator
Stewart has written the following letter:
Sir-You ask me whether the Sherman
act will be repealed. reply no. The rep
resentatlves of the people dare not do it.
Every obligation of the government, and
nearly, if not all private obligations en-
tered into previous to 1880, except those on
the Pacific coast are payable in silver.
The repeal of the Sherman act would de-
prive the debtor of the right to pay in the
money of the contract and convert all the
Indebtedness of the United States into gold
obligations and not only impoverish and ruin
the present generation, but would be heri-
tage of misery for generations to come.
No, the Sherman act will not be repealed.

Suitable Dress For a Business Woman.
A business woman-that is, a
woman who earns her living in some
field usually occupied bymen-cannot
be too particular about her dress.
1t should be the personifcation of

for economy's sake as to preserve the
fitness Of things. 1t is asking a great
deal to ask woman to abandon
furbelows and trimmings, for the
female heart does just love adorn-
ment in dress. For all that, woman
who is in business should in selecting
the goods for business suit avoid all
figured and striped materials. Let
the stuff be as plain as possible, so
