Afternoon Tea Cloths

In afternoon tea cloths there is a great

table covers may be of fine white linen
embroidered III Dresden colors with little
flowers, or they may be made after the

leaves, but worked in pale colors slightly
cohVentlonallzed from nature. The fash
lonable hostess takes the occasion to dis
play variety of cloths in handsome
stlchery and lace. Some of the handson-
est tea cloths are of fine linen with wide
porders OF drawn work around them, fin.
IShed by hemstiched hens Still others
are bordered with heavy linen lace in old
Venetian pattern. One of the daintiest
embroidered tea cloths of the season was
made of white linen embroidered with
pale purple orchids in natural color
Damask tea cloths of silk and linen are
sometimes used. They give the effect of
q cIoth satln, the silk being on the surf
ace and the linen forming the under
thread. These are shown in pink. white
ana pale yellow. They do not wash or
wear as well, nor are they as dainty and
pretty as cloth of plain white linen en-
broldered IN color. German sprachtel
work makes effective tea covers and ta-
bic centers. The best quality of this
work wears well, but the inferior quali-
ties Will not bear laundering, as the but
ton-hole stitching pulls away from the
material and leaves the work disiigured
with raw edges. For this reason the en-
oroldery should always be purchased
from responsible dealer who will guar

OHRISTOPHER'S WHISPERS
Did lie Raise Full Beard in Twel,
HOul,S3

Did lie Raise n Full Beard in Twelve
Hours:
a gentleman in the Secretary of States
Office has made discovery showing how
fame gets frayed at the edges in the course
OF century or two, and how the most
luustrious of great men are made to
suffer at the hands of an ungrateful pos
terity.
This great republic, in paying its re-
spects IN the nineteenth century to the
mighty Christopher Columbus, places the
renowned navigator and the discoverer OF
our continent upon its one and two-cent
postage stamps.
Upon the first of these cheap chromos
the great Christopher is represented with
a group of his followers, "In Sight of
Land" and on the margin of the stamp
his name is spelled, "Columrus." This,
however, Is not the only slight cast upon
INN by the republic (or the engraver), tor
upon the one-cent stamp he is shown
with a smooth, beardless face, while on
the two-cent stamp Columbus has his
name spelled correctly, but there is
shown the Landing of Columbus"
which, according to history, occurred
twelve hours after ''sighting'' land.
In this picture he is represented with
49, "A'SA iu-N VI idllI CROWN Oh WQlSkerS,
through which the sea breeze is appar-
emily whistling.
Some Of the authorities at Washington
must either get "rattled" at times. or else
they have an exaggerated and conceited
idea of the effect of Americas climate
upon the Italians beard.
1t may be, however, that the discovery
OF great continent like America caused
an aonormal and vigorous growth of
WhlSkerS on Chris and that the poStara
stamp designer knew where he was at"
Still 1t is confusing to the rising genera
tlons to study out some of these miracu-
Ious historical representations.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6.-Negotiations be-
tween the Panama Railroad Company
and the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
looking toward an agreement upon some
contracts by which the two companies
can cooperate, have been pending for
over week. A reply came last evening
from the Pacific Mail Company to the
Panama Company, which amounts to the
complete failure of negotiations, bu
which gives the Panama officials some
reason to believe that in the near future
there is possibility of an arrangement
being made acceptable to both parties.
The contract which was refused last year
was prepared by the Panama Directors
at a meeting Saturday last. A favorable
answer was expected, and the refusal
was surprise. The terms of the con-
tract are essentially those of the Panama
Company's offer of last January. They
give the Panama people the right to
determine the tariff on through freight.

ever before, and they feel now that in the

Company will be acting together on
terms beneficial TO both and to transcon-

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
NEW YORK, Feb. IA special from
Washington says it is learned on high
authority that President Harrison has
reconsidered his determination not to
alloy sale of bonds to make good the
golddeficiency. Before leaving the city
on Wednesday the President authorized
Secretary Foster to offer bonds for sale
whenever in his judgment such action is
absolutely necessary to maintain the
Governments gold reserve. This sudden
change of mind on the part of the Presi-
dent was wholly unexpected and is not
TO be attributed to any outside influence
brought to bear upon him.

ter states to-day that ne viii preserve the
$l00,000,0O0 gold reserve at all hazards.

bonds to do 1t he would go even to that
extreme. At present the free gold is
more than S, 100000. He felt almost GER
tain that he could reach the end of his
term without having TO issue bonds.
"Even to issue bonds, say to the amount
of $4,000, ,000," said the Secretary,
would not necessarily mean an
Increase in gold to that extent. The law
provides that our bonds must be paid for
IN coin. Silver is coin. What is there to
prevent silver, or It's equivalent, being
offered for bonds? Nothing. Could 1 re-
fuse it? No. If even bonds were sold,
would that relieve the situation? No,

and the purchaser was made, and then l
would be subject to all sorts of criticisms.
The whole subject is surrounded by vex-
ations. You may say, however. the gold
reserve will be kept intact, come what
may"
GOLD SHIPMENTS CONTINUE.

noon it was stated that so far as ascer-
tanned only 81, 100000 of gold will go out
tomorrow. The estimates TOR Tuesday

Trout Fishing.

There are many trout fishermen in this
country who would a little rather fish
than eat, and who go to almost no end of
trouble and expense to find good fishing.
Why do they not go to New Zealand?
On the east coast of the southern island
there are giant trout. From either one of
five snow-fed rivers one may take one
hundred pounds of trout in a day with a
minnow, or thirty pounds with a tlv.
The trout average about four pounds in
weight, but run as heavy as twentv-five
pounds. An eight-pounder is about the
heaviest fish one may expect to catch
with a fly. These New Zealand front
were originally from English streams,
