soutache Embroidery.

This claims to be somewhat novel,
inasmuch as it Is not braiding, but a
mixture of narrow cotton braid with
fancy stitches, which may be as numer-
GUS as the fancy of the worker can
desire; it may be done, of course, in
wooden or silk braid. Ordinary braid
ing patterns and some conventional
flowers and Mountmellick designs can
be used in soutache work, but a very
intricate pattern is unsuitable. There
are various ways of sewing down the
braid. Some people use fancy stitches,
others run it down with what is called
sole de cotton, II very fine, strong cot
ton. which can be had to match the
braid and washes well. Soutache en-
broidery is very useful for ornamenting
tea and sideboard cloths, laundry bags,
brush, comb and night-dress sachets,
childrens dresses, aprons, sunshades,
etc.-in short, any articles that go to
the wash and which lend themselves
to such decoration, st. Louis Globe

DELAWARE, O., Nov. 21.-Baron Rus

record of 2;244, the property of Mr..
Edward Welsh, of this city, died at his
stables, after three-days' suffering Of
rupture of the bowels. The horse was
trotter well-known on the turf in all
the central states, and valued at IS, 0oo.
He closed the last campaign very suc-
cessfully, and trotted in all the best
classes during the progress of the last
season. His last race was trotted in
Cleveland, where he met with a collis-
sion with other horses in the race. The
driver, Louie Welch, brother of the
owner of the horse was thrown from
his seat and had his shoulde dislocated.
1t was thought by some that the horse
was slightly injured at that time. Two
years ago Mr.. Welsh lost by death his

INCOME TAX.

President Cleveland objects to Anythina
of tho Kind, Hacked by Mcssrs. Wilson,
Cochran and stevens
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The income
lax advocates are against the admins
tration. President Cleveland has made
himself understood to the ways and
means committee in n quiet but posi-.
tive way, without reproaching any per.
son particularly, and he is opposed to
an income tax in any shape, form or
manner, at any time For some
time an effort has been made to learn
the Presidents views on this question,
and at last he has given the committee
to understand his wishes If an in
come tax is to be brought forth, the
executive prefers that 1t be drafted as
> separate and distinct bill.
Three of tho most prominent demo
.rats on the ways iand means commit
tee, namely, Chairman Wilson. Bourke
Cochran and Stevens, are in line with
President Cleveland, and will fight
against such bill to the last. This Ia
discouraging to the Bynum men, who
nre set heart and soul upon providing
q revenue by this method, which makes
it very doubtful II any such ideas will
be reported
Congressman Amos Cummings, Of
| New York, is as vigorous an opponent
| to an income tax as Bourke Cochran.
He arrived in the city during the night
and discussing such provision in the
tariff bill, said that if carried the dem
ocrats could not elect a single member
of congress in the districts OF New
York ontside of the city, and that at
least two of those in the city would be
shut out.
The general summary of what may
be expected from the ways and means
committee next Monday is that raw
materials will, as completely as possi-
BILE, be on the free list, while some pro.
lection is offered to manufactures.
The arranging of the schedule is both.
ering the members not a little, and for
that reason particularly all are main.
tanning a profound silence. Another
reason for this silence is that they can
not agree whether they will embody
the income tax feature in the measure
or not.
The income tax has been considered
as sort of ballast for the reduced tariff
measure. Without some sort of bal
last the democratic balloon can not &C
up, and they are in a queer fix. The
committee labored for weeks to reduce
the revenue to a minimum, or come
as near as possible to free trade; ant
then, to keep proper stability II
finances, the income tax was to sup
ply all demands. Now that Grover
seems inclined to monkey with tn,
gear, all the machinery will be thrown
out of order. If no schedules ar,
adopted it may take more time t.
reach report, but if the contrar,
; democrats on the committee send th'
thing through just as it has beel
schemed for weeks, the remoldelins
will have to come later, in the mature
of amendments These are some o
the perplexities which confront th
gentlemen of the ways and means ma
jority at the present writing.

the fellow, who knew him, said:
"Good evening, Mr.. Walker; ] am
sorry to disturb you, but am little

couldn't help me out of my financial

money? You have lots of it and will

"Yes, you WILL, said the fellow EN-.

must have it."
He drew large revolver, and, point
ing it at Mr.. Walkers breast, said in a
loud tone: "Writ me a check foY 3D.
900, and hand it over, or / will put Q
hole through your heart"
Mr.. Walker is a large man, and with
his presence of mind thought he could
cope with the would-be robber under
his prevailing excitement.
The muzzle of the pistol was close tc
| his heart, so he raised his left arm to
| protect himself, and knocked it away
at the same time opening the door thai
led to the street with the other hand
| He then gave the fellow shove ant
he rolled down the steps and out on the
walk, still clutching the revolver in hi
hand. The door was then closed by
Mr.. Walker, while he went immedi
ately to the telephone to notify the po
lice station.
The man got up right away, raj
down Prairie avenue and disappeared
About 9 o'clock he was located in I
room on Twenty-second street ant
