the first the wide bertha and puffed sleeves
composed of rose-colorsd crepe preserve

contrast of rose and black is especially
liked this year, and the small pattern of

edged with band of wide guipure lace,

A STA fitting QUESTION.

A STARTLING QUESTION.
There was nothing startling in the inau-
eural address Of President Cleveland, but
there was something startling In the dis
patch from Washington which said that
the new President had decided to ask all
applicants for ofice the question, "Do you
drinkp This dispatch sent a thrill of
horror and encouragement through large
part of the Democratic party. Itcame out
just as the Tammany gang had started for
Washington with five cases of Pepper
whisky. 5s dozen imported beer, 4s cases
champagne, etc., etc. It's impressiveness
was still further emphasized by the fact
that the Tammany headquarters in Wash
ington were over liquor store, and that
all the liquor stores of Washington had
laid in q large stock of "rum" for the
visiting Democrats.
sDo you drinkg" What question to
ask Democratic Office seekers. What does
it meant Is the President going back on
one of the most conspicuous and most
powerful principles of pure Dsmooracya
Is it the head of "the party of personal
liberty" who asks this question of bis de-
voted followersl Does he not know that
it took many drinks to elect him3 And
does he not know that if he makes this
question the test of fitness for Office he
will have trouble in filling the offices, even
If he takes as many mugwumps as some of
the Democrats think he will!
What will be the feelings of the Tam
many tigers, the Kentucky colonels, and
the other typical Democrats who apply for
Office and meet this question. "Do you
drinkg" Is this shrewd dodge of the
President to rid himself of the impor-
tunities of the Democratic ofice-seekersa
Is he about to add temperance reform to
civil service reform aud tariff reforma Has
he signed the pledge himself and has he
decided to have nothing more to do with
those who touch, taste or handle 1.-THE
accursed stuff?" =--
The time has been when If one Democrat
asked another, ''Do you drinkf" the ques-
ton would have seemed equivalent to
"Wha. will you haves" The meaning
which is said to be given 1t by the Presi-
dent will not be popular in his party. .

DR.. MEYERS DEFENSE.
An Unexpected Move in the Great
Poisoning Mystery.
WILL RELY ON EXPERT TESTIMONY

Tho Prisoners Counsel VIII Try to Con-
vince the Jury That Poison Was Placed
in the Body After Death-An the Evil
dence Taken. ...-... ..... e.
NEW YORK, Dso. 1e.-In the Meyer muir
der trial yesterday Lawyer Brooke opened
the case for the defense He moved for
the Dismissal of the prisoner on these
grounds: First, that the Various aliases
are not proved and that Brandt is alive;
second, that the variance of the indict-
ment and the insufflcienoy of the evidence
did not Justify the allegation and that nc
evidence Of the death Of Brandt had been
proved; third, that Muller's testimony had
not been corroborated.
Judge Barrett denied this motion, and
when Mr. Brooke asked that the indlct
ment be dismissed on the ground that the
crime proved was conspiracy to defraud
the insurance company and not murder
or, at least, not murder In the first dc
gree, Judge Barrett replied that that was
one of provinces Of the jury with which he
would not interfere.
Mr.. l.. Sohanler made the opening adj
dress for the defense, and for over an houl
summed up the case and criticized the
evidence OF tne prosecution. ne cihlmet
that no murder had been proved, but thai
scheme to defraud insurance companie'
had been well shown up, in which one O
the schemers had by his own acts lost hi!

FINANCE AND TRADE.
Five Failures for an Aggregate OF Two
and a Half Millions.

and q Half Millions.
New York, Dec. l6.-R. G. Dun's weekly
review Of trade says: 1t Is proof OF the
enormous vitality OF the country that
while mills are stopping in every dlrec-
ton and the army of unemployed Is
larger than it has been for many years
other mills are constantly starting up to
answer the demand which single year
of unprecedented disaster has only dimin
ished. Industry is doing nothing on
speculation, but the needs which tho won
derful growth and past prosperity of the
people have created are pressing upoo
supplies exhausted by months of reduce
production. Trade still waits as much 4.
it possibly can, and yet the volume
business on a mere hand to mouth trad.
is such as would have been called large 1
few years ago.
Failures are numerous and large, there
having been 800 In the United States fol
the week, against 27e for the same week
last year, and 20 In Canada, against 2.
last year, but a worse feature Is their i'm
portance. The list for the week include,
seven banks, with one of the oldest pri
vate banks for e6oo, 900, an iron works fol-
$500, 600 an agricultural machinery estab
lishment for 81 ,o00, 900, a heavy tobacco

PRINCESS ANNE, Md, Dec. 16-Jnmes
Courtney brother of Arthur Courtney,
one of the men hanged here yesterday for
killing Captain Cooper, arrived early in tho
morning, and was an unsupported witness
to his brothers death. He had travelled
hundreds of miles to sec and bid farewell
to his brother whom he had not seen for
years, but owing to the excitement and
bitter feeling prevailing among the great
crowd of Captain Cooper's friends his
heart failed him and he remained per-
fectly quiet during the terrible ordeal
After the bodies were cut down his pent-
up emotion burst forth, and he wept like
a child. His heartfelt sobs brought tears
to the eyes of many of the brawny oyster
men, and his fears OF violence at their
hands were doubtless groundless.
