A specimen Democratic Election.

yHasl Dom ocratic election was
held in Lansing fs~sGenselaer
County, New York, on Tuesday las
Lansingburg Is not far from Troy, tho
home Of the junior United States Sen.
ator Of New YORK, Edward Murphy.
1t had always been Republican city
by about one thousand majority until
syear ago, altSr Mr.. Murphy had got
his snap Legislature TO pass some spe-
olal laws TO govern elections IN that
city. For instance, the appointment
OF election inspectors wus removed
from the board OF the village trustees,
which was Republican and transferred
to tho Democratic board of Police
Commissioners. OF course this meant
knavery and nothing else, and Inst
Tuesday the Legitimate outcome was
the election Of the Democratic ticket
by about one thousand majority, in
stead OF the Republican tiCkct.a as here
torore, by about the same majority.
The election was the scene OF
crimes OF tho most revolving and
alarming SOFT against government
OF the people. IN fact it was nothing
but hldeous farce. Tie village

The Crinoline In Paris.

We are indebted to the correspondent
of The Times in Paris for authoritative
information that the reign of crinoline
is not yet This cheerful intelligence
comes from two very high sources, one
the supreme French dressmaker of his
time and the other an Englishman of
equally uudoubted supremacy. 1t is
characteristic of their respective races
perhaps that the Englishman says that
crinoline will not be Used and cites the
decisive fact that "12 royal personages"
whom he has had the honor to wait up
on for instructions as to their wardrobes
have not mentioned crinoline. On the
other hand, the Frenchman says with
equal pride and authority, but of a diff
ferent kind, that crinoline shall not be
used. He will not permit it. Fashion
able modistes who have just returned
from Paris say the hoopskirt is not worn
in Paris, nor will it be worn this season
either there or here by women of fash
ion.
Practically it does not exist in Paris
and is regarded by French couturieres
DIS Gue sSIlsdIlOudl suSSeSIlOu VI ultra
Americans and of English dealers not of
the best class They speak of it most
sarcastically as destructive of all grace
in dress, and they Suggest return to
clinging skirts, or at least to those with
out fullness at the top, by way of con-
travening it. There is already reac-
ton against stiff and heavy haircloth in
terlining for supple and transparent fab
RIGS of spring and summer gowns. In
its place the more pliable crinoline lawn
of foundation muslin is used, and this
extends only to the knee instead of to
the hips, as during the winter.-San
Francisco Argonaut.

The ROYAL Laundry.

The royal laundry, or, as it is more
often called, the queens laundry, occu-
pies the most picturesque site on the
borders of Richmond park, which, in
spite of its nearness to London, is still
one of the most beautiful sylvan scenes
in England. In fact, the garden and
ground ON which the laundry stands are
practically a slice cut out of the side of
the park.
The body linen department, which is
practically a separate house, communi-
Gates with the other part of the laundry
by a door, the key of which always rests
in the superintendent pocket.
So stringent are the rules that when
some of the gentlemen of the household
wished to go over it, and Mr. Wilson,
unable to forbid it, said they must do it
at their own risk, they did not venture.
1t is difficult to say whether her maj
esty's order arises from the fear of in
lection or from the dread of having her
undergarments criticised and possibly
even Photographed. Truth to tell, there
would be little to say concerning them,
for her majesty's linen, though exquisite
ly fine, is severely plain.
The princesses, however, give their
fancy more rein and have beautiful linen.
and they have curious objection-it now
almost amounts to superstition to
wearing flannel petticoat that has been
washed. Once ready for washing these
become the perquisite of the lady i'll
waiting.
All the royal body linen is washed with
a special primrose soap, which is pleas
antly scented and quite free from aka
lies. The only disadvantage it has for
less exalted personages lies in the fact
that it is extremely costly.-London Cor.
New York Press.

secucIde, moUn paper, campnor, pepper,
bitter apple, and even a tallow candle
wrapped in brown paper are all well
known and popular protectors, but they
are almost unavailing unless care is
taken in putting things away. These
should be scrupulously looked over, then
dustedwith whatever remedy is adopted,
folded up in old sheets and then, if to be
put away for some time, done up in
brown paper, the edges of which should
be carefully gummed down to prevent
the entrance of any pest.
Valuable furs are better sent to fur
rier, who for a certain charge will take
care of them for the summer months.
Ordinary furs are better hung upin linen
bags in a cupboard in use, and carefully
looked at every week or so, beaten with
a slight switch and hung out in the fresh
air. Paper sprinkled with paraffin or
turpentine can be pinned or otherwise
fastened underneath chairs, sofas or mat
tresses to keep off the insects, and the
mattresses should be well busted with
some inodorous insecticide when the beds
get their weekly turnover. - London

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is a competition of rather an unusua
nature. Ii is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the con petitors risking the loss of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewarded for doing it. The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without it. The architect
whose competitive plan for a club house on q
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something OF very little use to
him. But the person who patent simple and
useful evice in the Press Claims Company's
competition, need not worry If he fail to Sc
cure the prize. He has substantial result to
show for his work-one that will command it's
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know bet er how to I'M
prove 1t than the mechanical expert who
studies 1t only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds I'm combining simplicity and popu-
larity, will get the Press Claims Company q
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.

And Echo Answers Why?

Why do women with big, full faces
insist on having scrap of bonnet?
Why do women with red faces wear red
wells and women with cOlorless complex
ions wear blue ones? Why does any
woman wear a veil with a sailor hat?
Why do stout women prefer a bow at
the throat when small bonnet ties in
bride fashion would look so much better
Why, oh, why, does any woman wear
a veil with lace edge? Why does she
plunge into purple and magenta? Why
does she wear big hat to the theater
and small one in the street? Why does
she make fright of herself in skirts that
flare and sleeves that bulge and weight
her skirts with haircloth Innings? Why
does she put her hands into grass green
gloves and her feet into red suede slip
pers? Is judgment never to guide fash
ion, and must thousands of dollars be
squandered every year in a senseless
change?-Brooklyn Eagle.

WONAN'S WORLD.
WOMEN MAY BE DELEGATES IN AN
IMPORTANT CONVENTION.

A Beauty's Curious History-The Time to
Fight Moths-The Royal Laundry-Crin-
oIine In Paris-A Distinguished French
woman-TimeIy Topics.
The event in the late session of the
New York legislature of most impor-
lance to women was the passage of the
bill providing for the converting of the
constitutional convention in 1894. In
all respects the securing of the clause in
this measure which gives women seats
in that body is the greatest triumph ever
obtained in this state, and those of US
who have so long urged it have every
reason to rejoice in the success. The bill
provides as follows:
The number of delegates to such convention
shall be LIS. One hundred and sixty-three Of
them shall be elected by senate districts and
shall be known as district delegates. Each SEN
ate district shall be entitled to five district dele
gates. Fifteen delegates shall be elected for
the state at large and shall be known as dele
gates at large.
The electors may elect as a delegate any male
or female citizen of this state above the age OF
81 years.
Never has so high an honor been paid
to the women of any state Except Wy
oming) as this. Never has there been
such an opportunity to secure a swift
and certain victory. It will be seen there
are to be five delegates chosen in each
senate district, and that women may be
elected in this way, and that there are to
be Is delegates at large. Now, any elector
can vote for any 10 he may choose-say
five Democrats, five Republicans, three
Prohibiuonists and two women. He can
pick out men and women for their merits
or popularity, entirely irrespective Of
party, and vote for any 10 who are in
nomination.
All over the state the women ought to
be moving to secure the nomination Of
suitable women. Next summer we should
nominate our own ticket of Is delegates
at large, composed of men who favor our
cause, irrespective of party, and the lead
ing women of our state This great OPP
portunity-the result of years of labor
should be used to the utmost, since if
we can elect women delegates to the con-
vention to revise the constitution our
cause will be won.-New York Cor. Bos-

Poor Baby Ruth.

Poor Baby Ruth has been so pestered
by kodak fends and curious sightseers
when taking her walks in the rear of the
White House on fair days that the pres
ident has had to order the gates of the
White House grounds to be closed be-
tween the hours of 2 and in order that
she may take the air undisturbed.
1t seems That the sightseers, who are
mostly women, not content with staring
at the baby, insisted upon kissing her,
while some of them, taking advantage
of the temporary distraction of the nurse,
gave the baby candy or opened her
mouth to look at her teeth or danced
her up and down in their arms. One
audacious woman actually tried to sur
reptitiously snip off lock of her hair
with tiny pair of scissors.-Washing-

Tho Little Things The Most Valuable.

Comparatively few fpeople regard them
selves as inventors, butt almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of the0little frictions Of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
why don't the railroad company make Its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers
backs?" exclaims the traveller. "If l were
running the road would make them in such
away"
"What was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking Off" grumbles the cook. "He
never had to work over a stove or he would
have known how it ought to have been fixed. -
Hang such q collar button!' growls the
man who is late for breakfast. "If were in
the business I'd make buttons that would Mt
slip out or break off, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forgot about
their grievar es and begin.to think of some
thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves as IN
dependently wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the one who
patented the fifteen puzzle

A Beauty's Curious History.

THE last Countess of Rumford," 9TH
erwise known as Mrs. Abigail Buck, is
said to have died at West Paris, Me-, a
few days ago. A reporter visited the
aged countess fortnight since, reach
ing by rail, sleigh and on foot the remote
farmhouse where Mrs. Buck had lived
for many years, carrying on her farm in
the fullest sense by sheer hard work
Bossing the bulls, milking the cows,
driving the horses, riding into town
seated on piece of board tucked over
"fore-ex," and every way stout, eccen-
trio and self reliant person. And yet
she began life a petted daughter of an
accomplished woman, who taught her
Latin and Greek and three modern Ian
guages and made her a musician, and
she was SO beautiful that at 16, visiting
Boston, men stood still in the streets to
watch her out of sight.
Her parents when she was 90 opposed
her marriage to the man she loved, and
after brooding over this some time she
one day informed them that while she
had given up her lover she shonld now

young farmer, Jabez Buck, who had
long admired Abigail Marshall Cfor that
was her name), heard of her vow, pro-
posed and was accepted, and the couple
are said to have led happy lfe-from
which one infers that Jabez was meek
man. The old woman who has Just died
told the correspondent that he was one
of natures noblemen, but rather Jealous,
and on his deathbed made her promise
never to marry again.
"Since he died" she said, II have had
% offers of marriage from good men, be-
sides two half offers. By half offers
mean proposals from men who had wives
living whom they purposed to divorce. "
The aged Mrs. Buck had a great guam

paintings, etc, and the correspondent
heard Of two sets of table service, one
solid silver, the other solid gold, besides
many jewels, in safe deposit vault in
"a neighboring city," that "have come

MiserIy Paw of London seamstresses.

A claim of extraordinary character
was the subject of magisterial proceed
ings at Guildhall, London, in which one
item of seamstress' account, making
46 NANTES at penny each, startled the
judge into making an inquiry concern
ing the amount of work this generous
sum was supposed to cover. 1t was
explained that the work included all the
sewing of the fashionable mantles that
are sold for $25 each. For other and
more elaborate mantles sixpence about a
dime) was paid. The defendant admitted
the debt, but claimed reduction on the
ground that the complainant had taken
away some cloth. The complainant adj
mitted that she had taken some rags"
(cuttings), but these were usually con-
sidered as perquisites. The decision was
an order for payment of the claim,
with costs of something over Sion.

A TEMPTING OFFER.

To induce people to keep track of their
bright ideas and Bee what there is in them
the Press Claims Company has resolved to
offer price.
To the person who submits to it the SIM
pliest and most promising invention, from
a commercial point OF view, the company will
give twenty-five hundred dollars in cash, in
addition to refunding the fees for securing
the patent.
1t will also advertise the invention free
charge.
This offer is subject to the following con
dtions:
Every competitor must obtain patent for
his invention through the company. He
must first apply for a preliminary search,
the cost of which will be FIVE dollars.
Should this search show his invention boot
unpatentabe. he can withdraw without fur
Their expense. Otherwise he will be expected
to complete his application and take out a
patent I'm the regular way. The total expense
including Government and Bureau fees, will
be seventy dollars. For this, whether he
secures the prize or not, the inventor will
have a patent that ought to be a valuable
property to him. The prize will be awarded
by a jury consisting of three reputable patent
attorneys of Washington. Intending CON-
petitors should fill out the following blank,
and forward It with their applications:

Seventy Women Applied.

Recently mans club of considerable
importance advertised for secretary,
and among some hundreds of replies
from men of all grades were seventy ap-
plications from women. Sampling wines
and cigars, engaging buffers and walters,
receiving indignant members and the
like are not exactly feminine occupations,
but the innovation may come soonerthan
we expect, for the club of the future will
be an association of men and women,
according to the enthusiasts.-New York
