Tailor-Made Extortion.
the Providence journal. I

From the Providence Journal
When will it be easy for the busy
women to clOthe themselves as
we'll, as easily, and at as reasonable
cost as men have long done? What
is wanted is the tailor made cos
tune, of good material, well-cut
well-made at price or prices with
in range Of ordinary incomes. From
$50 to $3.50 is charged now for
ready-made gowns of satisfactory
American workmanship and Eng
lish tailors here charge nearly
double their prices in England.
Such charges are absolutely pro-
hibitory to the great majority of
women. Is there any real need
that well-built, substantially
made, carefully finished gown of
excellent materials should cost
more than $40 to $25? That eX-
cludes silk Innings, of course, and
supposes the use of fabric costing
not less than 81 yard, but need it
exclude thorough workmanship
and finish, and scientific cut?
A certain number of sizes covers
the range of mems garments with
in, perhaps, a higher number,
should it not be as possible to fit
the various normal types of women?
Where is the energetic woman or
the enterprising tailor who can APP
preciate the business opportunity
in this great need of the hour, and
who has the courage to set about
supplying it?

WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, Oct. =, 1893.
Upon what meat doth this, our Caesar,
feed,
That he hath grown so great?'
Well may this question be asked
concerning the man who at this
moment thinketh himself an
American Caesar, and whose
dreams are doubtless filled with
pictures of his future greatness
and power. The most autocratic
royalty of Europe is not surround
ed with more rigid eXclusiveness
than Mr.. Cleveland now clOaks his
most august presence with. He
deems it beneath the dignity of
the American Caesar to touch the
hands of plebians; therefore, he
has abolished the long established
custom of holding public recep-
tions in the White House. Being
Iapplauded by the FitZnoodle
press for that step towards
royalty, he has now gone
further issued a ukase that no per-
son, excepting members of his
cabinet, shall be admitted to his
presence until they shall have
stated their businesses to his pri-
Vate secretary and secured the con-
sent of that functiOnrry. Think of
a dignified justice of the Supreme
Court, a Senator, or Representative
who was prominent before Grover
Cleveland was heard of outside the
circle of his Buffalo chums having
to state the nature of his business
to Mr.. Thurber and get his approx
al before being allowed to enter
the office of the president. Could
f1unkeyism go farther under a
Republican form of governments?
Some people say that this sudden
eXclusiveness on the part of Mr..
Cleveland arises from the morbid
fear that he is in danger of assas-
sination. Fear is not thing which
Americans are in the habit of at
tributing to their presidents, nor
is it quality they admire in any
man.
The intense excitement over the
bill for the repeal of all Federal SUI
pervision of elections, which Dem
ocrats expected to accompany the
debate on the bill in the House and
relied upon to unite the factions of
their demoralized party, has not
materialized, owing to the good
sense of the Republican leaders in
the House, who wisely decline to
assist the Democrats to "get to-
gether," cOntenting themselves
with opposing the bill upon high
legal and constitutional grounds,
and taking advantage of the debate
to visit the Worlds fair.
Senator Chandler made one of
his slashing speeches-he isn't an
orator, but he is an almighty plain
talker-in favor of his resolution
calling on the secretary of the
treasury for his authority for APP
pointing the Fairchild commits
sion, now engaged in an alleged in
vestigation of the appraisers office
of the port of New York. After
showing that the appointment OF
this commission, as well as numer-
Gus other acts of the administra-
ton, was unconstitutional, Mr..
Chandler remarked that it was en-
tirely fitting that its members
should Receive theirEpay-$lO a
day and expenses-frOm what is
known as the fraud fund" of the
Treasury.
The truce in the Senate over the
Voorhees, bill is to be continued |

GREAT SUCCESS. The Presbyterian
picnic at Morningside was "hOwling
success" IL that expression can be used
with propriety OF 80 conservative class,
who are not conservative at all when 1t
comes to having a good tune. 1t is es-
timated 1900 to 1900 participated. The
cars did not get all the people back un-
I'll 11:S0 at night, and then only having
people climb up on the roof like
monkeys and some straddling the
trolley pole or hanging onto the caves
by their toe nails. Ice cream, soda,
meals and money flowed like water
and whatever the Presbyterians under
take seems to go. The speaking and
singing were excellent and the fame of
this royal parklike suburb is established
for moonlight picnics.

THE CEMENT CoHCRErE.-The state
ment in the JOURNAL that concrete
cement for the city ball foundations
should be in proportion of one part
cement to three parts gravel, was in
tended for finishing course. Much
less cement will make durable foun-
dation. 1t is stated that the cement
and gravel are mixed loose. A barrel
Of cement makes 12 buckets of loose
cement. A barrel of gravel makes
bucketsful. The specifications require
one to four, while heavy buildings at
Portland and San Francisco are built
with one to seven. The Holman block
Is resting on concrete one to six. The
city hall walls with concrete could
be made much lighter than of stone
and stand the strain just as well. AS the
contract now stands they will be just
as heavy as originally intended for
stone work.

Death ~
If there is one disease more than an.
other that comes like the unbidden

called DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy that

NOVELTIES.

The arrow brooch of gold set with
diamonds is again seen in leading jewel
ry stores.
There are indications that wreath
forms and simple gold circlets set with
diamonds or other precious stones will
be popular designs for brooches this year.
Dark violets with white apple bios
SONS or pink tinted peach blossoms and
pansies, encircled by wreaths of forget
menots or daisies, are among the many
tasteful combinations in enameled floral
jewelry.
Wreaths frequently appear in stones
alone, enamel being in such cases dis
carded. Pearls and olivines-tho green
stones portraying foliage and the pearls
representing berries-are examples of
the variation of prevalent design.
The swan is the bird now most promi-
nent in jewelry. Its shapely suggestive
ness is seen everywhere. A new rack
for envelopes and paper of perforated
silver is most gracefully designed by
having the line of the divisions swan
shaped.
Enamel and gold combinations are
plentifully used. Besides numerous in
dividual blossoms and floral clusters,
enameled brooches in the fainter tints
are inlaid with designs of Towering
sprays carefully reproduced in gold and
colored stones.

There is more catarrh In this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and pre-
scTibed local remedies; and by constant
ly failing tocure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires constr
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by f. J. Cheney
& CO., Toledo, Ohio, is the only consti-
tutional cure on the market. 1t is
taken internally in doses from 10 drops
to teaspOonful. 1t acts directly on
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
